Skirl,le '36 Mooning Editor This Issuc-___-- -- Vows Editor This Issue Tuesday, March 12, 1935 A POSSIBLE CLUE When the C. C. C. organization was born some two years ago its sponsors vigorously denied any militar istic motive at heart. Now that it has become almost an accepted part of our governmental set-up, certain sus picions have been aroused in certain quarters. Reports from the American League Against War and Fascism show that voluntary military training for C. C. C. camps was recommended to the appropria tions committee of the House of Representatives. This, the recommendation said, would necessitate the daub- ling the number of reserve officers. The League report further stated that instruction in the use of gunpowder was being given at Yacolt, Washington. This was published in the official camp newspaper, Happy Days. Reports from other camps say that guns and their subsequent training are being introduced into the day's routine. If all this is true, it is time for a massed protest against such governmental tactics. While all talk of international welfare goes on, it is mockery to be set ting up armed camps in every part of the country. If we are going to enter a mad race for armed supremacy which can only end in another and more disastrous war, let the central government say so, and' cease concealing the true purpose of these camps—to improve and en large the supply of cannon fodder. IN THIS ISSUE IS a very important news story. It concerns the voting by the women to abolish class of fices. If ever there were an opportunity to avoid over lapping and to abolish senseless, minty'dUpliCation, it is certainly presented in this case. Let us hope the women will sense the opportunity. HUEY'S HOOEY The great American Public'has recently been treat ed to a masterful exhibition of demagogy. A few peo ple have recognized and enjoyed it as such; but a great many others have gulped it up as gospel truth, like so many gullible guinea-pigs. The dispenser-in-chief of this trips is, as usual, the Honorable Huey P. Long, of Louisiana. Last week, tongue-lashing General Hugh Johnson, supposedly speaking for the Administration, made the serious blunder of launching a vitriolic attack upon the cane-break Senator. In making the speech, Johnson played neatly into Long's hands and left the Adminis tration wide-open for the staggering blow which the Kingfish dealt, it in his radio talk Thursday night. As a result of the Johnson-Long name-calling spree, Huey has been transformed from a clown to a real political That Senator Long is a serious contender for the Presidency in 1936 or 1940 can no longer be questioned. Under normal conditions, his "Share-the-Wealth" plan would he scoffed out of existence—but conditions are definitely not normal now. Over ten million men are out of work; President Roosevelt's recovery program seems to be stalemated at the present; and large masses of the country's working classes are restless and dis atisfied. Conditions are ideal for the rise of a popular anti-Administration leader, and Long has pounced upon thili opportunity. What is more, he is ideally quali fied for the job. He is a brilliant, persuasive orator; he is a talented politician; lie is gifted at the art of bally hoo; and his "Share-the-Wealth—Every-Man-A-King" program is simple enough and vague enough to appeal to the Mass Mind of America. Whether his program is workable and superior to President Roosevelt's is also not queitioned—it definite ly is not. There is nothing in his program which sug gests that he comprehends the tremendous complexi ties in the economic and political system of our gov ernment. Also, his third platform: "To increase the number of college students one thouiand percent" is ludicrous and impractical. With the country already cluttered up with unemployed college graduates, it would seem more sensible to phice the emphasis on qual ity rather than quantity. .But the fact remains that Senator Long may soon be President or Dietator of the United States, unless drastic measures are taken• to squelch 'him. Thus far, the Administration, the newspaper editors, and the other Senators have bungled every' opportunity they have had; and they will continue to do so until they rec ognize one undisputable fact. Huey Long must not be publicized.' Editors must realize that they can't stop, Long by trying to ridicule him. General Johnson must' barn that he can't hurt Long by calling him a dema gogue and a four-flusher. Huey Long thrives on pub licity. If_ he is to be defeated, the publicity must stop. —V. 0. P. • - Testimonial We got this in the mail, and although it seems to be advertising, or propaganda, or some other jour nalistic evil, like that—it's in a good cause or at least perhaps some of the co-eds will think so. It says, "I never could dance. When women, be they wall flowers of the worst sort, saw me coming, they shrank. Usually they shrank so well that when I got to where they had just been, they didn't hear my queries. Then I went to MISS AMY FISCHER'S WEDNESDAY EVENING DANCING ACADEMY, and you should see me now!

He wanted to go to bed, and didn't particularly like it when his loyal Sigma Chi brethren informed him that a guest was in his bed. But he's 'a gentleman, at least some of the time. "Okay, pals," he mumb led, "I'll sleep on the couch in the library. But I'll have to get down there quick—before someone gets it." So he did. Ile ran downstairs, and flung him- Self around the library corner. He fairly threw himself down on the couch. The boys had sort of forgotten to tell him one thing, but Ile discovered it almost immediately. Some heel bad moved that couch up to Itec ball for the Hop. Everything's coming along nicely though. The boys are pretty sure now that Johnny didn't really break his collar bone at all. Financial Item .Between the halves of the basketball game Sat urday night, some of the Phys Ed boys had a 'little program planned. They would do something really nice—they'd go through a mass dfill, just like in all the news reels, of the Brown Shirts and all. So they did. Everyone sat and watched them for a minute or two. They waved their arms. - They kicked.' It was pretty nice. Then someone decided a little contribu tion might help: He threwra penny out onto the floor. Someone else threw another one. .That started a rain of pennies. Not bad?. That wasn't the trouble, though. The boys could have waved, or drilled, or exercised, or whatever they were doing, right on in the midst of any shower. It was the swarm of town brats that tore out to fight over the spoils that really bothered the drillers. They bothered the referee, too—they just couldn't be stop ped. And the pennies kept coming. Pretty soon everyone ran out of pennies and they let the basketball team back on the floor. But Direc tor Bezdek isn't so sm•e that his stooges haven't had noise sort of .personality' pattern altered by the in terruption. And he doesn't like the idea of petty contributions like that, We'll never get a now swim ming pool at thnt rate, he'll tell you. About Town & Campus • _ . .
