In eluded were what the writer considered three * points upon which the system Was tottering. They included reduced revenues, student seriousness and cynicism, and the fact that many universities are building dining halls and dormitories which far outshine fraternity houses. All of these are highly significant lodally. Three houses have passed into history, and rumor says that far too many exist only through the grace of creditors who feel that nothing could be gained by turning down the screws, and who trust that 'patience . may produce cash on overdue accounts. Freshmen arriving here are not so gullible as they once were. A handshake from an athlete or a manager does not mean so much now that finandeS play a much mare significant part in the budget of a student. But this phase alone is not a source of study. Consider the number of upperclassmen who no longer live in their houses. How many feel that they did not Teap the benefits they anticipated? How many are just a bit cynical• about the beauties of brotherhood? Some day the third point will strike here and strike hard. 'The College has planned an extensive dor mitory system, when and if finances perinit. ,The 'atti tude of the houses and their members during the next few years will determine the outcome. here. - Continued indifference will spell ruin. ATHOUGH IT IS undoubtedly too!late,to Change the systein this year, those in 'charge ' I of 7 "seheduling winter athletic events next season should attempt to conduct the wrestling meets at a more convenient hour. Four o'clock means that spectators are invariably late for dinner. It might be well to move any other contests up to 1:30 o'clock in order to start the wrestling at HAVE YOU A LITTLE RED IN YOUR HOME? It was startling to read in the issue of February 2 of Liberty ,Bernarr McFadden's 'editorial demanding the death of all radicals. The editorial was illustrated with a cartoon showing a typical 'little reit schoolhouse' about to be injected with a hypodermic needle labelled communism. In this editorial "Body Beautiful" McFadden defi nitely linked hiniself with the liar-inzchief .of America, William Randolph Hearst, who has been connected with practically every fascist motienient in this Country. However, the forces of these two publishers will and can exert a real influence in Anierica. Their com bined activities, however ludicrous and fantastic they appear, reach an audience of millions. They can, in alliance with the "100 per cent American orga'niza tions" such as the various Veterans' organizations and fraternal groups, so provoke and bewilder the great body of American people with their lies and "tainted" stories that independent research and disSenting ()Pin ion will be banished. William Randolph Hearst has been denounced and proven to be a liar by 'everyone who has studied the situation even casually. Most people have iken raised on the theory that newspapers print the truth. • News papers have tried to hold up to this ideal.' Hearst has broken the trust with the American peciple. He has broken it with those of his own profession. Bernarr McFadden, who charges that the AmeriCan school system is being inflated and injected. With radical propaganda, is a scoundrel of no - small repute. He has been tried and convicted before the United States Sb preme court of peddling pornographic literature to small children. The quality of his magazines, either from 'a literary or moral standpoint, has never bee'n anything to brag about. In duct they are a disgrice to Aniiriein literature and intelligence. !Together these two blackguards of ,the publishing profession are setting out to ballyhoo and 'PM the Arabi, icon people into setting up ail academicism and free thought on a fascist goose-step principle. We believe that the economic and 'political facts 'of life should be open to scrutiny, analysis, avid descision. We see in the fascist policies of Hearst, 'la-Fadden, and their stooge, the worst but best paid eolininist in the world, Arthur Brisbane, an attempt to suppreis any and all consideration of them. We condemn Merit's "ited Scare".and the super super patriotic methods and 'deVices he is 'employing to achieve his end. We interpiet 'the onslaught of these publishers as the vanguard of 'fascism in America. A couple of gentlemen named Butt and Tanner have been having their troubles about Commerce 15 this semester. They both teach it—same hours, dif ferent sections. Things seemed all right at first— until the first class met. Bolt: Tanner class, twenty five students; Butt class, one student. Obviously something had to be done. The gentleman named Tanner did his best. He announced that there must be n shift of sections for some. Every student in the room refused to tran sfer. Then the popular professor tried another tack. He suggested shuffling the roll cards, and splitting them into two even piles. The students wailed— unfair. Finally he hit upon a system. divided the students into pairs—and went about flipping a quar ter. The students called their choices and the one who lost transferred. Things seemed to be' going nicely, until the system faltered. One pair refused to call—neither of them would transfer into the Butt class—and that's all there was to it. "Why?" the coin-flipping Tanner queried. __Harry B. Henderaah jr. IC --Charles M. SChwartz jr. .3G "I had Butt last semester and I won't take him again," quavered the first student manfully. "Oh," said Mr. Tanner. "I scheduled this course, not because I wanted the 'material, but because I wanted a course under you," spoke up the second student. "Here, you take the quarter," gasped Mr. Tan ner, as he slowly folded into his chair. Contesi Not to _be misled by the' persistent rumor that __Froth, local esoteric publication, is to issue a comic supplement beginning next month, we've decided to go right ahead with a contest that's been on our minds for quite some little time now. Here's the plan— and there's a prize and everything, just like in the Philadelphia Record. We're baffled, see. It's this man Rowles. We've worn out 'our Roget and our Webster trying to de cipher him and it's no go. So we're crying for help To the person who delivers to - the COLLEGIAN 'office fby Friday night this week) the best translation from the original Rowles of the "With the Editor" department of last week's Froth, there will go a giant prize. We have the prize (it's a surprise) all picked out—bought, practically. Just put into a few coher ent words the idea behind the edits and you'll get it. You'll have to sign it, of course, so that you'll get' the prize, but we'll - play 'Letter Box' and withhold the name if you wish. Concentrate on this paragraph—it's the one that derniled u.'conipletc/y: "Worlds dissipate away and are reborn while woman poses her mind in what.must be odd poses. This Ski suit was neither going to, then or later, or coming from the sloping hills." That's a sample—go to it. The prize awaits! + + + About Town & Campus: Dagmar Hansen has went away.

At least that's what Spada fora, the sixteen members of his com mittee, and the 999 slugs who got in on comps said. - A guy named Irving Aaronson played, According to his press re-' leases he is no small potatoes as a band maestro and the slumbrous rhythms of his fifteen hired helpers are highly tolerable. In regard to whether or not it was really Aaronson's,band, there is prac tically no doubt. One guy and a blonde doll toddled up to the band stand before intermission and request ed a number. The leader was labori- Misty leading •his stooges through a second eniiing, which was in five flats. The guy waited 'until the band got playing together again on the chorus and yelled: , "Hey, Aaronson!" . The leader turned around and locat ed down at him, thus proving that it was Aaronson hiinSell and no mirrors or wires. Not only that, but the doll's name who was singing with them said her name really was Lois and could have pledged Theta any time.
