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.

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. FoVa
