Lewis .37 Tuesday, November 26, 1935 .THE LIFTING OF CUSTOMS The recent move of Student Council to lift the ban on freshman dating and other minor customs is a de cidedly progressive move. For the past few years the entire set of customs has been enforceable until spring Move-up Day, with the result that nobody paid much attention to any of the customs after Christmas vaca tion. Bucknell has followed a similar plan. + + + 1935 COLLEGIAN NOMINATION FOR 'REPORTER HARDEST UP FOR A STORY' Tommy Lovett, of the Philadelphia Evening Ledger, because he wrote a full column on Thursday on the rumor that Bob Higgins was leaving here to be replaced by "Harry the Loser" Stuhldreher. + + + MORTAR BOARD The fact that Mortar Board has accepted Archousai, local senior WOMOit'S activities fraternity, as a chapter, is another indication that Penn State is getting farther and farther away from the "cow-college" reputation with which it was once associated. The women of Archousai have just reason to bo proud.of the fact that theft society has been accepted by what is recognized everywhere as the leading honor ary society for college women in America. And the COLLEGIAN congratulates them upon this honor which has been accorded them, knowing full well that they de serve it in every way. +• + + . THE LETTERBOX Because of space limitations the COLLEGIAN re quests that Mil letters addressed to the editor and in tended for...publication in the "Letterbox" column be no longer than 250 words. Many of the letters received recently run to 1000 words and henceforth cannot be printed without a great deal of cutting and editing. The COLLEGIAN dislikes the responsibility of cutting and ed iting these letters because too often the writers feel that important parts of. their communication have been omitted. The COLLEGIAN welcomes at all times letters citing opinion and fact on not only campus problems but alio on affairs of national and international scope. The only requirement is that the letters be limited to 250 words. FROM OTHER PENS • "A Little Child ...•" • Throughout the country, college students this se mester have been organizing peace clubs, holding peace meetings, making pacifistic speeches, and. submitting' ac tual constructive plans for the prevention of war. - Meanwhile a group of 15 and 16-year-old high school students from the Fieldston School ,of Ethical Culture in New York City recently issued a six-chapter book containing about 4,500 words entitled, "The Student Looks at War." These boys and girls, working mornings before school, collected the material, wrote and illustrated the book. It contains a summary of the various programs for the prevention of war, and a discussion of the moral, social and economic consequences, as well as the "major and basic" causes of war. The book was written and is being used to urge boys and girls of high school age to make up their minds "whether they want to grow up to be useful citizens or cannon fodder." That these high school students should be so inter ested in a peace Movement is a definite challenge to apathetic college students, especially those who have taken extensive courses in World Economics, Interna tional Relations, and Sociology, and who should be hot ter able to comprehend and promote such a project. Instead of leading the way, as expected of college students, they might do well to follow the example set for them by these high school students and give to the peace program more serious thought as 'well as en thusiastic support. High school students have undertaken the task of education; college students can undertake the task of collective organization. —ftracuee Daily Oranges Joe Stevenson, end on the late football squad, wasn't feeling so good on Sunday. Came Sunday night and he decided he'd better go home. for a few days and rest up: So he went clown to the State Col lege Hotel and waited in the lobby upstairs, until the 12:50 bus should come in. He got there very early and had to wait quite a time, pale and nervous. While Jae was waiting, feeling sorry for him self, Doc Ritenour, College medico, happened to come upstairs for something. Seeing Joe sitting there, he went over to talk to the gridder. The Doc's professional eye was quick to discern that something was wrong with Joe. He was, as we said before, pale and shaking. Besides, Joe told him that he wasn't feeling well and was leaving town on the bus. _ . Women's Editor _ RUTH E. KOEHLER It • Women's Managing Editor A. FRANCES TURNER '36 Women's News Editor Mr. Ritenour grabbed for his wrist and counted his pulse. He looked at Joe's face and hands again. "Boy," he said, "you're sick. You'd better sec a doc tor before you get an that bus." From September until Christmas anybody who can get his choices into print (and many who can't) go around picking All-American teams. Those per sons who can't qualify as experts pick literary All- Americans, thieves' All-Americans, soldiers' All- Americans, etc., etc. Last week F. P. A. in the Herald Tribune picked two All-Americans—the pens against the swords. (It was the sword team that our own Harry Cromwell made.) So we herewith choose our own All-American to end all All-Americans, (knowing perfectly well that it won't.) We can't think of any name for it, but it probably speaks for itself. Here it is: L.E.

Butler Sees War Inevitable for Europe (Continued from page one) , d a few simple rules designed to keep :his country out of war. Ile advocated he reduction of the cruising radii of aircraft and battleships. Complete solation, he explained, is the only ef 'ective means of keeping out of the uropenn slaughter-house in time of war. He emphasized the fact. that one can can. keep the nation out of war. Chat man, he declared, is the Presi lent. If Congress exercises its power to leclare a state of war, lie continued, .he. President, can veto, it. If • Con ;Tess declares war over the . Presi lent's veto,' then he, as commander-in- Adel of the armed forces of the Unit ad States, can absolutely .forbid the. army and the navy to leave the coun try, Butler said: When the armed :ems stay at home, the general said, :here is, no war. General Butler stated that • the Treatest difficulty would be to resist he hysteria that sweeps over the na .ion when the drums roll. He showed iow the, crawd's . , viewpoint can be shifted in taree months by..skilfull propaganda. as it was in the last war. In conclusion, General Butler said, "It's 'not a- question of can we keep out of war, butwill we. keep out of ,rar?" 'Sen. Thompson Talks To Engineering Group Senator Edward T.
