ENLIGHTEN US, MR HEARST
Arrogant nationalism, personified by William
Randolph Hearst, is to be submitted to a thorough
examination of principles and ideals through a ques
tionaire sent to the publisher by the Association of Col
lege Editors. Every movement searching for a way to
preserve the peace of the world has to confront the
militant nationalism especially advocated by this man
in the United States.
In a recent interview, Mr. Hearst challenged
Americans with the statement, “If Americans have not
lost their common sense and balance of judgment entire
ly, they will stop following sweet singers and smooth
talkers some day, and settle down calmly and reason out
a few things for themselves.” That challenge was ac
cepted by the Association. It is dedicated to the stimula
tion of interest of students throughout the world in pro
moting international understanding and cooperation in
the hope of ultimately achieving and insuring interna
tional peace and security.
One of the most pressing of today’s problems is the
controversy between the Nationalists and Interna
tionalists. A series of questions, compiled by Sir Norman
Angell, being considered for the Nobel Peace Prize this
year, was chosen. They were re-phrased to fit the
American situation, after Lord Beaverbrook, publisher
of the London Daily Mail and British counterpart of
Hearst, had confessed them to be “too big a proposition,
for me.”
The nine questions submitted to Mr. Hearst com
pose an enormous catechism. It is thought it will be
quite as difficult for him to refuse a reply as it will
be to compose an answer. In brief, Mr. Hearst is asked:
“Do you realize that to pile on our already shaken
economic system another conflict will finish off the
present order in chaos?
“Do you think that the old armament competition
is to be prefered to international agreement or organiza
tion?
“How shall the defense of two nations be managed
under the competitive plan since the security of one
means the insecurity of the other? Is there some system
by which each can be stronger than the other?
“Will not rivals resort to alliance making if
America makes herself stronger than the rivals? If so,
why should not America utilize this arm adding to the
nation’s power?
“Do you believe that a creditor nation such as
America can continue to pursue the policy of isolation
in this modern day?
“Although free of general or permanent commit-
ments, America was drawn into the last war. Do you
think America could have kept out, that her entrance
was a mistake?
“If so, would you have regarded the creation of an
hegemony so preponderant that America could not have
resisted any demands that it cared to make, with indif
ference? If so, why trouble about armaments at all—
if it is a matter of indifference that combinations, much
stronger than America, should arise?
“If, on the grounds of national security, America
cannot accept the preponderance of a foreign combina
tion, why should other nations accept ours, especially
as an Allied preponderance resulted in what you termed
“the utter injustice of the Versailles treaty?”
“Suppose the only possible alternative to the see
saw balance of power, by which the precarious defence
of one nation is achieved by the depriving the other
of all defence, was for both to pool their power to secure
the observances of a common rule of international, life,
like arbitration of disputes? On what grounds do you
differ from this view?”
Mr. Hearst’s answer will make interesting reading.
AN INCREASING NUMBER-of students here, forced
to contribute fifty cents a year towards the support of
the debating team, are beginning to question the need,
and the value, of the subsidy. The debating team likes
it—they have such a fine bedrock of financial support
that the Forensic Council has a Teal problem in finding
ways to spend all the money—some $2500 per year.
Ways have been found for this year—next year, unless
debates here improve materially over the exhibit of
Monday .night, thy may no longer have the problem on
their hands. The debating team was awarded the subsidy
by student vote; a student vote can easily remove it.
TURN ABOUT
We went home over the weekend and, as usual,
hed to put up with him. There was nothing about us
that was right and we might as well stop fooling our-
selves. We went off into a corner of the living room
and vehemently scrawled away. We returned and
handed him the following:
Oh, why must you flourish and about
Of things you know nothing about;
Must tell us the ‘why,’ the ‘wherefore’ and ‘when,’
On sujects demanding not children but men?
Why must you cackle and grimace and strut
And think any sane guy’s quite off his nut?
Why must you always damage our days
With questions and critiques and damn little praise?
..John E. Miller jr. ’36
Why must you make us feel like a bore
Yet keep right on trying to tell you the score?
Why can’t you act human and not like a pup?
Why can’t you buy birthdays to help you grow up?
We thought that had him stopped but when we went
to bed we found his reply on the counterpane:
Campuseer jr. Ml
Who’s the boy who gives advice
When it he should be keeping?
Who’s the boy who is so nice
Only when he’s sleeping?
Who’s the boy who’s always shirking
Saying that his mind is working?
Who thinks he should be called ‘the Brains?’—
The boy who should be bound in chains.
Of course, you’ve guessed who long ago,
But still, just so I’m sure you know,
MY BIG BROTHER!
We’re thinking about sticking it our through
gummer session.
CURRENT QUOTATION
Judy Bernard!
(1) “If I don’t make this chorus on my dancing
I’ll make it on my body.”
(2) “I agree with you perfectly. •Of course, I
never listen to anyone.”
(3) “ . . . and Steve (Hamas) says, ‘Shake your
boy friend and come along with me;’ ”
Campuseer:
(1) What body?
(2) We've heal’d you can read.
(3) That’s not the story Steve told us.
Libby Barton was dining at the Sigma Chi lodge
recently and Pope Symington, eager to be the perfect
host, spoke gracefully: ‘Before we partake of these
delicious viands will Miss Barton be so kind as to
deliver a few words of prayer and gratitude?’
We’d always suspected the Coy Egnigmas of
concealing wicked souls beneath their wholesome,
cornfed, faces, and now the truth is out. For there
came forth no blessing. Libby clearly showed no
acquaintance with the Deity. There was a long silence,
much subdued throat-clearing, and then all suddenly
sat and began eating without His sanction. We hope
Claire Lichty sees this and takes the proper steps.

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
Varsity Debating
Schedule Posted
Westminster To Appear
In Second Contest;
Debates Listed
Monday night’s debate with Oxford
University opened the most extensive
schedule ever undertaken by -Penn
State debaters. This year’s schedule
will include sixty-five debates, many
of which have already been arranged.
The next contest will be the first
week of December when two teams
will be sent to the westrn Pennsylva
nia debate contest at Westminster
College, New Wilmington. The regu
lar southern, trip, which this year
will include two contests, will take
place in December.
An innovation planned for this year
Will be the holding of one ‘feature’
debate each month,, beginning in. Jan
uary when the men’s team will meet
the women’s team of Pittsburgh on
the question, “Resolved, that the male
college graduate with a minimum sal
ary of $1,200 a year, should marry
before he is twenty-five.”
The feature contest for February
will be another foreign debate, this
one with the University of Hawaii
on the question of granting statehood
to Hawaii. In March, a debate on
the nationalization of arms and mu
nitions will be held with Wayne Uni
versity, Detroit. Finally, in April,
the men’s team will meet an outstand
ing women's college, debating on the
value of coeducation.
In addition, the usual debates by
both men’s and -women’s teams will
be held on the campus with repre
sentative colleges. Several of these'
engagements will be in the form of
intercollegiate forums, introduced so
successfully by this college last year,
and others will be held before neigh
boring high schools and organizations
