WHAT GOES ON?
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!"
