.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.

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.

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:

About Town and Campus:
Someone on the library staff has told us all about
Mr. Lewis' giant organization. It seems that the staff
is divided into two teams—the Reds and the Blues.
The Reds hide the books and the Blues : look for them.
So far the Reds are ahead.
Why does the A. C. C.'s Nick Nosed run around
the block every morning? ... Up at the Kappa house
Mal and Jo Hobart never pour tea or coffee—it's
too hard on their wrists ... King Burke has obtained
a responsible and lucrative position in the city. It's
his job to keep his Columbia U. roommate from jump
ing out the window. It seems he has suicidal ten
dencies ... Sam Bayard is in love . Jack Fuchs,
of the Christy outfit, missed his chair when the band
was doing a specialty at Skytop Saturday night ...

sen. 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?"
