GABLER The Penn State Farmer, agricultural students' mag azine, is once again being published. That is a pro gressive note. We Wish it all the success in the world. However, the struggling little back-to-the-soil publica tion has one outstanding fault: And that is its editor, Walter S. Gabler '36, and his thinking ability. In an editorial in the current issue entitled "Peace— by Arms or Pacifism," and which reads as though it had been lifted bodily from the Scabard and Blade bible, Mr. Gabler advocates R. 0. T. C. and bigger armaments for these United States as a peace move. The boy militar ist from Dean Watts' ball of learning closes with this brilliant statement, "And finally, if our armaments are maintained sufficiently strong and long enough to ward off any aggressions of foreign powers, we may be able to 'Change frcm war by governments to peace by peo ple.e." It is regrettable that Mr. Gabler never had any time free from advanced military drill to study a hit of modern history. Ile might. have found out that a strong army and navy is no assurance of peace, a statement which he makes in his editorial. 'He might have dis covered that the strong army and navy policy for peace only precipitates an armament building race and ,alna tionalistic hysteria which cannot: bat 'end in War: Of course, we 'are not saying that he would have found these things out. We faintly suspect that he has swallowed preparedness propaganda of the militarist so completely that he has somehow lost his ability to think and interpret things for himself. , Is the nation with the strongest army and navy free from the fear of war, Mr. Gabler? Are you going to end war, Mr. Gabler, by building bigger and bigger fighting forces? Will not the other nations build bigger war forces upon witnessing your activities along those lines, Mr. Gabler? Everybody including you, we hope, Mr. Gabler, understands that a big army and navy must be built and supported by means of taxation. And, Mr: Gabler, isn't it true that the growth of the various na tions' fighting forces will never cease because of the fear and jealousy of one nation of another? And will not the already heavy burden of taxes become unbear able within a period of time, Mr. Gabler? That leads directly to revolution, doesn't it, Mr. Gabler? We won der, Mr. Gabler, could it be that you are in the pay of Moscow gold and are working from within? Without doubt, Mr. Gabler, your road to peace is a good• solid one with real foresight and foundation. (We'll see you in M05:0v,..) Mr. Gabler also advocates R. 0. T. C. for "Should anyone ever fight—go to war—if need he, without know ing a few basic principles of warfare?" Perhaps if Mr. Gabler were to study a little of economics he might find out a few more truly basic principles of. warfare than the military department will teach him. Perhaps, then he would not be quite so sure that armaments lead the way to peace. We dislike writing entirely derogatory editorials. Mr. Gabler is entitled to sonic praise. We are very hap py that in his other editorial Mr. Gabler came out strongly against cribbing in examinations. Keep up the good work TO CERTAIN PROFESSORS If the Christmas project sponsored by the women students is successful this year it may prove to be a tangible reply to the incessant challenge of many pro fessors here thnt the interests and - activities of Penn State students are exclusively concerned with Penn State. The challenge also infers that Penn State stu dents know next to nothing about what's happening in the world beyond the campus gates and what's more— they care less! This project, however, tells a different story. It aims to supply the Christmas gifts which store than ninety small orphans have asked for in their Christmas letters. It aims to give these children of Mifflin Count:) , 'the few things which, above all else, they hplie to find on Christmas morning. But these children are so far from Penn State's campus that in all probability no Penn State student will ever see or hear of them again. Granted that the professors' challenge was a fair one—isn't this a fair reply? Frank Sullivan's Cliche Expert • Visits The Penn State Campus: —Mr. Arbuthnot, are you prepared to testify concerning the use of the cliche at Penn State? A—l will make mention of some of the linguistic atro cities I have observed at this institution of higher learning. Q—Very good. Now, Mr. Arbuthnot, where is Penn State? ' A—Between the widely known Seven Mountains and the. Bald - Eagle Mountain close by the Allegheny csearpment. It nestles . here. Q—What is Penn State? A—l beg your pardon? Q—l mean, Mr. Arbuthnot, how did the Reverend Buchman refer to Penn State some years .1 , 9g0 aft er leaving here hastily? A—Oh, as a cesspool of sin. Q—Of course. Now what can you say of the student body? A—The male constituency in . general is divided into two groups il(1.) B. M. 0. C.'s, and (2.) goons. As a subdivision of the first group there are campus politicians who ride on the gravy train like Joe Swift, Briggs Pruitt, Woody Douthett, and Fred Young; and also athletes like Bob Weber, Bar Riley, and Rus Criswell. These lat ter are gridders, knights of the hardwood, mit men, etc., according to their specific form of ath letic endeavor. Q—How about the goons? Richard E. Lewis '37 __Johnson Brenneman '37 A—They are also termed stooges, mugs, grinds, and twerps.. These arc people like Goofy McGovern and Jack Cochran. This group in its multitudin ous ramifications also includes Corner Room habi tiies and members of the local literati. Q—You haven't mentioned any women students. A—They are pashy biscuits, Kappas, or sad jobs. In the first group Winnie Feldman, Nancy Drake, Marion Ringer, and Doris Ramage may be men tioned. Q—Let's pass over the last two groups. A—Okey doke. But the term is "skip," not "pass over." Q—How does one refer to any young woman visitor to this campus who lives farther away than Pine Grove Mills? A—She is a houseparty queen or simply an import. Q—And do the students study? A—Definitely. This is necessary so that they can know their courses cold and hit bluebooks. Q—Da professors ever give students failing grades? A—No. They flunk, bust, or screw them if they do not show they are good eggs by zipping them. This happens when hand-shaking and apple-polish ing don't pan out. Q—Are dances held? A—Yes.

A—lt unleashed barrages of powerful aerial attacks and smashing line drives to eke out moral victor ies over formidable opponents.. Q—What can you say about'our athletic policy? A—Penn State quit building a grid machine and start ed to mould 'charactet: by a simon-pure policy of athletics for all and non-subsidization. Q—Do- you mean that the football team works for nothing? A--Precisely, except for the two square meals' a' day, hearty cheers, and rousing send-offs that they re ceive (hiring the season. Q—Who is Adrian 0. Morse? - A—A source' close to the President.

Mar row '39, ' ILetter, Box To" the Editor: . — . ' 'Brigadier-General Charles H. Sher ill, American representative on the International OlyMpics Committee, is a liar. When he'says that he believes in "sports for sport's sake," and has "no interest in the internal affairs of Naki Gerniany - (tir'Of any other coun try)," he doesn't' mean a word of it. On the contrary, General Sheri)l heartily approves of mixing politics and sports = When under fascist au spices. Let's look at his record. He has worshipped Mussolini ever since he met his "Fascist Hero" at Rome back in 1923. His 'book, "Bismork and Mussolini," Sherill dedicates "To Ben ito Mussolini, ardent Nationalist and World Leader." What he thinks 'of fascism itself is also interesting. Froth Scribner's, 1923, we quote his statement: "In the lead .are the Fan eisti, those gallant .Black Shirts whom modern civilization Will applaud; and if need be, follow." The' N. Y. Times (Feb. 28, 1935), reporting a speech made by General Sherill before the Women's Roosevelt Memorial associa tion, says: "He extolled the patriotic services performed in Italy by the Balilla, or Fascist Youth Organiza tion, and suggested that a similar spirit of usefulness 'might be devel oped in organized groups of Amer ican youth." This- same Balilla was created for Italian 'boys between the age of eight and ,fourteen to give them training in drill and manual of arms before they are eligible for regular military service. That's the 'sort of thing that General Sherill would like to bring' to America. And General Sherill ' is busy defending Mussolini's "civilized" war in East Africa, Italian airplanes are raining down bombs arid 'poison gas on de fenseless villages of men, women and children. ' — ;:: . '- But although . Mussolini _is his first love, Sherill is alsocultivating a high regard for Hitler. As a:member of the International Olympic Committee, he visited a Nazi rally at Nuremberg • ..- 11 0* LOCATION AT - OLD,'IIIiONTGOMERY BUILDING New Line of Merchandise HARRY SAUERS W. R.

Herr Hitler, whose reputa tion as a sexual invert goes undis puted, is "a man of great personal charm," according to the general. Nor was Sherill there merely in the role of an "impartial sports arbiter." For, according to the N. Y. Herald T rib . Oct. 9 193, Paris .edition, "In General Sherill's opinion, Russia is the contemplated field for future Ger man' colonizatiOn." The general did not find this out while talking . sports. How can a man -who -believes in Fascist dictatorship, imperialist and Jew baiting be an appropriate spokesman for American ideals in sports or anything else for that mat ter.. Robert Goldsmith '36 CINEMANIA "The Melody Lingers On," starring Josephine Hutchinson of the enchant ing smile and George Houston of the stirring voice will be the attraction today at the Cgthauin. A story with an operatic, background, it has to do with a young American girl, a sic student in Italy, who falls in love with an operatic, star on leave. He is killed in action and the girl leaves her baby in a convent.. The girl gains fame but not happi ness, beca'use she is unable to claim her son. She finds a bittersweet-sat isfaction finally when she witnesses the son's sensational operatic debut at the La Scala. John Halliday, Mona Barrie, and Helen Westley arc also in the cast. James Cagney, in "Frisco .Kid," gives a performance that is equal to, if not better, than his triumphs in "G Men" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream." This latest opus, the Cath aum offering for tomorrow, is a salty tale of the Barbary Coast in the early fifties, days of the gold rush. Cog ney is cast as a rough sailor who gets control of the San Francisco un derworld and rules it with an iron hand. After a reign of terror and corrup tion, the underworld is beaten by the vigilantes and Cagney is saved only through the intervention of Marga ret Lindsay, cast as the editor of a Frisco paper.
