Also, it is high time for Legion leaders—freed from political worries—to re-study and revise some Legion attitudes. Toward peace movements, for instance. Le gionnaires have sworn in their inner souls that war Must never happen again; but the Legion has been jock eyed into a position that is dangerously close to opposi tion to peace movements. 'Toward labor likewise. Its leaders have been too ready to see red `Ccrintinim in all labor troubles—and thus often bare blinded themselves to real issues in vo:ved. Many Legionnaires belong to the laboring class es; but in the public mind the Legion has been jockeyed into a position of opposition to organized labor. WE'VE GOT A FIGHTING CHANCE! Anti-war sentimeLt on this campus has definitely come to a head with the formation of the Student Peace Action Council. After several years of,Armistice Day mobilizations which began and ended with speeches on all phases of the war question, a. permanent group for the expression and direction of student peace opinion into action has been formed. In the past a mobiliza- lion has meant oratory. Some few Aincere persons occa sionally thought seriously about doing something, but didn't quite know what. Everyone obviously is opposed to war, but it usually_ ends there.' Isio one does anything about this opposition. Students, youth, the stuff armies are made of, has beeri k sitting back and letting the war machine, the loyalistic, pat4O - tia:"psyclgology'iweep- Over •heM, en ry them bite:. War,' and leave them with a wooden cross as a marker. Those who th!-': r.bout such things ask, '7hat charge do we have against the war mongers and the propaganda machines?" We've got a fighting chance! For every bit of propaganda the war machine turns out, there's an equal amount turned out by the peace propagandists. For ev ery dollar spent on furthering war, there's one to match it on the prevention of war side. The smart person doesn't wait for a calamity to come, he anticipates it and forestalls it. Enough of this stalling around, and making state ments without doing anything. Let's get out from be hind the eight-ball and support the Student Peace Ac tion Council! "LET'S LOOK AT THE RECORDS" When it was announced last sear that the College had received a gift of 824 records; together with their scores and a special reproducing phonograph, many sta. dents hoped, natura:ly, that they would be given an op .7 ' portunity to hem• them. Such'expectations could scarcely be characterized as extravagant. Nevertheless, the system under which tbeie records were placed was such that many students find that they have classes during all but an hour or .two of' the time in which the . lll , lSie is available for use: So pleased has the College been with this gift that they have weekly emp:oyed live dollars and sixty cents worth of N.Y.A. workers to play records for the huge total of sixteen hours a week. Numerous appeals to enlarge this schedule, particu larly with a view to making the records available for use in the evening, have been given due consideration— and nothing more has been done about it. The records, it is claimed, most be kept under the constant stu:veil- mice of the Student Union office. Since this agency closes at 7 o'c:ocic, the opportunity formusic after that hour is definitely precluded Two remedieS for this situation immediately sug gest themselves. The first, and most, sensible, is to place the records in the room in which they are played. The usual objection offered against this change, that by do ing this no responsible person would be in charge of them and that therefore they would soon be lost, seems just a little illogical. Under such an arrangement there would be no possible reason for removing the records from the room. Anyone who now wishes to make off with a Beethoven symphony need only sign a fictitious name at the Student Union office, collect ;the album, and disappear down the back stairs of Old Main. The second remedy is for some organization, such as Purple Quill, to arrange concerts on three ox four nights during the week. An official of the group could. take out the records during the day and be held respon sible for their return. When one or the arts begins to show signs locally of raising its languishing head, interest, not indifference, would seem to be the indicated treatment. Fun in College :Alargy Rees rode back to' school on the bus Sun day night with a buy from her home town. The lad walked her up to the Kappa house but the front door was locked and they decided to try the fire escape. This effort was also futile because the entrance at the top was locked. Descending the tire escape with Margy's suitcase, they were accosted by one of Mr. Ebert's G-men, namely n campus cop. It took them. half an hour to explain to him that they were not eloping. This is just to confirm the rumor that a bunch of the former Chi U's. are bolting the Pi K. A. bed and board (which are practically the same at the Pi K. A. mailer) . ... Most pitiful sight at registration: Dick Scheiman trying to borrow the last five cents of his fees . . . Chick Werner, who was helping out during registra tion, was worried when he found a kid who hadn't graduated from high school trying to register . . .

Thoughts while stalling: Is it purely a figment of our over•-wrought imagination or do George Smith and Harry Springer actually sigh when T. C.

It is based on the nontagu:Capulet thethe; the children failing in love de spite the enmity of the parents. Even the hilling of the girl's father by Bar rymore, the boy's father, doesn't de stroy the romance, and there's a hap py ending, as always. Supe7r-xoper-super!

Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy are co-starred, and the support ing cast includes Reginal Owen, Al lan Jones (Scranton lad), James Ste Fart, Alan Mowbray, and Gildn "Shimmy" Gray. This romance of the North Woods is as tuneful as the first co-starring picture of this popular pair, what with such tunes as "Indian Love Call," "Bose Marie,". "Song of the Mounties," "Serenade Just for You,'' and "Pardon Me, Madame." A chor us of 500 sing the "Mounties" num ber and any number of Indians take ,art in the totem dances that add to epectacular effeet. The story is one of conflict between love and duty, with the Mounty cam ?died to arrest the brother of the roman he loves, even acing her to :end him to her brother.
