Sanders . 3a Vows Editor This Issue W. Bernard Freunsett Friday, April 5, 1935 A RETREAT? :‘lany who have hoped for a permanent world peace ate apprehensive of the turn of affairs in Europe. Directly after Hitler's announcement of universal mill- tary conscription, came news of France's move to add a year of compulsory military service for all able bodied men, Switzerland's lengthened military service, and Mussolini's declaration that Italy is a military and war-like nation. This means definitely that the major European powers have thrown aside any pretense of disarming or reliance on the League of Nations or any other peace ful instrument in settling disputes. It'is not necessary to abandon all hope, however. This nation can become a great deciding facto• in the maintenance of world peace. If it can be clearly shown that we have no intention of 'embroiling our- selves in another "war to end war," foreign nations will Insitate because without financial, economic, and perhaps, manpower support, war cannot he carried on long or successfully It rests with educated clear-thinking individuals to realize this, and then to fight preparedness propa ganda with logical reasoning. If a solid front can be maintained in this direction, much should be accomp lished against the prattlings of jingoes who see per sonal gain in another conflict. Especially can this be done by college students and graduates when they take their places in active work. With them rests the responsibility. Their education should equip them with sufficient knowledge and log ical reasoning to counteract.the influence of those who wish to foster personal gain. IT IS MOST UNFORTUNATE that the College cannot offer sufficient inducement to hold men like Dr. Alderfer. His courses have long been recognized as excellent opportunities to obtain a thorough background of political science and theory. While he is to be con gratulated upon his opportunity, it should be done re luctantly. His place will be difficult to fill. IT IS SAID HERE and there that the borough authorities wish to protect the lives of students, and thus have forbidden sports of any kind in the street. This is probably one of the sane things which the in cumbent administration has done, and as such, observ ance should be given. THE RIGHT TO VOTE Throughout this country, in every state of the Union, factions, have been organized, largely by Wil liam Randolph Hearst and his stooge fascist organiza tions, to have the tickets of certain political parties, especially that of the Communist Party, kept off the ballots to be used in this coming spring election. It is alarming to note that there has been a measure of success in this attack by Hearst and his cohorts upon free speech and the right of citizens to nominate for office whomever they desire. In Delaware, Governor Buck has just signed a bill which will keep the ticket of "radical political parties" off the ballot, while in Chicago the Board of Elections, obeying the wishes of the American Legion of that city, has ruled that the Communist ticket cannot be included on the ballot. We hold no brief for the Communist Party or for any other so-called radical political party. But we do believe that this action is a definite and unpardonable attempt to disfranchise citizens of this nation. It points out that "Dirty Willie" and his fol lowers are gaining a grip; a grip that once established will be hard to break. At the present moment two other governors have bills, similar to that passed in Delaware, on their desks for signing. These bills are menacing the political rights of voters of the United States as a whole, and not just tile Communist Party, at which they are immediately aimed. How (lid these vicious measures against the rights of American citizens ever become laws? It was because sufficient mass protest was not or ganized that the'ss bills have broken through and be come laws. In other states, Connecticut, New York, and Ohio, the united protest of labor and civic groups blocked the passage of the bills. Unless mass protest movements against this type of legislation, which takes from the citizens of this country their inherent rights, America will wake up some day to find that its last breath of life and free dom, as set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, has been smothered by the fascist propaganda flowing from the presses of Williams Randolph Hearst. Professor Newman is truly one of the finest specimens in his department. He teaches a course known as Zoo. 41 in which he exhibits the more sterling qualities of his character daily. He used to do it only weekly, but that was before he really hit his stride. When he throws a quiz (the students complained about his tactics when he threw one a week, so now he throws one a day) he makes all the students face directly to the front of the class, keep their lips tightly closed, and absolutely forbids any one to put his hand to his face unless he wants to guarantee himself a flunk. And it isn't just a gag with Prof. Newness; he means it. The students arc slowly going crazy under the system, but Prof. New man seems to like it. JACK A. MARTIN '35 Business Manager GEORGE A. RUTLEDGE . 35 Circulation Manager B. KENNETH LYONS '95 Local Advertising Manager HARRY J. KNOFF '36 When we were kids, the guys in the gang had a phrase they reserved for people like Prof. Newman. A while back the Phi Delts had a great time hauling down the flagpole in front of their manse and giving the thing a swell coat of white paint. Naturally, they didn't attempt to replace the pole until the paint should dry. Trustingly, they left the pole for the night while they figured how to get enough frosh together to hoist it again the next day. The night passed. The Fi Delts slept soundly. In the morning they rushed out to inspect their work manship only to discover that some really bright improvements had been made. Some stay-uppers had come along in the interim and applied a little red paint to the poly with such amazing skill that they had transformed the pole from the kind to which flags are attached to an elongated version of the type seen in front of barber shops. The spiraling strip: of red ran round and round and round. The Fi Dolts have repainted the pole twice, but thet'e is still a faint suggestion of carmine discenible if you look closely. Out at the Phi Ep house there are the two nicest, cutest children you ever met or heard. They're really the smartest little brats you ever saw. Considering their under-developed mentalities, they show an amaz ing originality. Their names are Goo-Goo Himoff and Koochey-Koochey Freudenheim and they have this dandy idea. 'You know what,' they say, 'we'll bet you we get more publicity than all of you other fellows put together. So there!' They live together and play games, like each "day one will. - take a n , turn . at bauntirig the other; and they call theirroom,:in their quaint, boyish argot, The Priars' Den, because— this is so clever—both of them belong to a society that gat?. them ducky little hats to wear.
