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.

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

Johnny Leet was pretty tired Friday night. 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.

Dutcher Sets Travel
Mark at 23,570 Miles
As Observer, Speaker
A total of 23,570. miles of travel

Members of the W. S. G. A. Sen
ate will meet with members of the
P. S. C. A. to reach some agreement
as to who shall have charge of the
Student Handbook, at 4 o'clock this
afternoon. For many years the wom
en's editor combined with the P. S.
C. A., retaining a women's editor
and complete jurisdiction over the W.
S. G. A. section. However, it was
agreed to share any profits or losses.
Unfortunately, there has been, little
profit. Both' sponsors have agreed
that the joint editorship has been
unsuccessful. The P. S. C. A. wants
complete charge, but student govern
ment Tears that if all authority is
surrendered there will . be no way of
being certain that important W. S.
G. A.,information is included in the
handbook. - Since the women have al
ways been held responsible for the
rules as found in the handbook, their
omission would vitally affect the or
ganization—thus, the argument.

To the Editor
Instead of complaining, the COP
LEMAN should point with pride to the
local rules on cutting classes, as be
ing the most liberal of those of any
college or university in the world.
There is no penalty whatever here
for cutting classes. Compare this
with other colleges, where penalties
ranging from failure in the course to
expulsion from college are imposed
for excessive cutting without a good
:MUM, such as illness:
Of course, some instructors are on
ly human; and it may happen in an
isolated case that a particularly hu
man instructor will be so unfair as
to give a chronic cutter a lower final
mark, than he deserves. No college
rule sanctions any such practise.
•If instructors are sometimes unfair
in distributing grades, that is too bad.
Maybe you can do something about
it. But do not say that the cutting
rules are not liberal• enough. If you
can think of any way to make them
more liberal, 'I will do my best to
get them changed for you.
