Recently an army officer was heckled into ignominy when 'be attempted to speak to a group of high school• students on militarism - - Another strike against war is being planned by the National Student League - A huge appropriation has been set aside by the national government for the establishment of more R. 0. T. C. centers - - - Munitions manufacturers meet in conferences - - - In Louisiana a shouting sen ator offers luxury for all - - - A greatly augmented (by increased unemployment) proletariat seeks to con centrate itself against capitalism - - - A reformed and renamed government seeks to keep its head above the economic waters - - - There are plans bandied about -- - Planned Economy - - Socialism -- - Fascism Share The Wealth - - - There are names bandied about, too -- - Marx - - Trotsky - - Strdchey. There was an attempt to rub that last name out, so to speak. - - School teachers have been asked to sign state ments averring that they will not mention certain things in the classroom - articles about conditions in Italy, Germany, and Russia - - - A Mr. Hearst, who owns a flock of newspapers, wages 'a 'furious baiting campaign against what he likes to cull 'The Red Menace' - - - A paper called 'The Daily Norker,' boasting a constantly increasing •cir culatioii, works out daily on Mr. Hearst - - - And so it goes. The student, caught, in a welter of terms, dully' asks himself whtit gOes on, endeavors in a mild way to find out, discovers that the average course offers no answer to the .hodge podge, and de cides, along with about three thousand other people, that, after all, the borough is a nicely isolated place free from any major economic turmoil, so why worry? The student organizations about the College gaily go on holding tasty little Fireside Sessions, C. A. dis cussions, etc., where nicely irrelevant problems like Cod In A Christian Community, Sexual Relations Among College Students, How To Get The Most Out of Study, What Your Personality Means To You, and other once timely topics ace languidly rehashed. Isn't it about time that some move is made on the part of either student or faculty organizations to supply sonic open forum 4, led by informed persons, on some of the economic and social problems which stump the student constantly and are constantly skipped in the classroom? It is true that there have been a few feeble efforts made in this direction, but for the most part, the faculty seems satisfied to smugly admit that the average student is a fog-brain, carp sarcastically about this fact once in a while, and consistently do nothing to alleviate the condition. Surely, the student has the right to put his previous question to them: What goes on? ONE FUNCTION lIAS developed beyond most ex pectations in Old Main. That is the use that is given the recreational facilities of the Student Union lounge on the third floor of the building. It has become an excellent meeting place for many who have no other opportunities for recreation. CLOCK WATCHERS From one of the more liberal and popular profes sors on the campus comes the complaint that there is undue noise as a class hour comes to a close. He de cries the habit of shuffling of Ted, rustling of paper, clicking of note books, donning of coats, and not-too sly glancing at wrist watches. Naturally, there are two sides to the question. Far too many professors are reluctant to dismiss their classes promptly. With the campus the size that it is, ten minutes is not too much time for getting from one building to another. When one has an instructor in one class who talks late and long, and one in the next class who insists on promptness, the student cannot be blamed for his impatience. On the other hand, strange as it may seem, cer tain instructors are wrapped up in their subject,' and the passing of time means nothing to them. Could these enthusiastic individuals realize that the universe is not theirs alone, and keep the time element in their minds, a lot of the current uneasiness might be eliminated. Common courtesy demands that students refrain from such demonstrations of approval at least until the hour comes to a close. Then is the time to squirm and otherwise signify to the instructor that the time has expired. The time until then is his. umph at the I. F. C. meeting Wednesday night Armed with nothing more than tambourines .and bad colds, the two brave crusaders, Captains Mason and Wilson, strode boldly into the meeting of the pagan popes, who reign over our local eateries, and opened verbal fire at close range. Captain Masan neatly explained that in response to -their previous request for aid from the fraternities there had been a net response of only $2.50. (She paused at this point to commend the Tau Phi Pelts.) Surely, she pointed out, it would be very little trouhle for all the boys in each house to stop smoking for a week, only a week, and contribute the five dollars saved in this way to the Salvation Army. There was some subdued guf- rowing at this point, but she went bravely on. She was going to put tliC matter up to each president individually and, as a reward, Captain Wilson would sing for them after the pledging. It.was a smart move. We suspect that Captain Mason must have been a politician at one time. All the popes pledged the five little wrangle about accompaniment and Joe Den- tice's offer to whistle was turned down. Captain Wilson sung 'Jesus, Save Us' a capella spent vainly trying to discover who had given her the write-up in the last issue of this paper. All we have to say is that she owes me and the Maniac five apiece for the publicity Returning to her car, which she had parked in the area back of the Bull Pen, Peg Judy, co-ed com muter, found a little missive which some individual had tossed into her auto. It read: "Do you want to park in the middle of the road? Please give the other guy room to get by. You're not in the country when you park here!"
