EXCERPTS FROM THE BEST
COLUMN OF THE WEEK
(Paragraphs from the Daily Half-Colyum written
by Dean of Men Warnock for the Centre Daily Times.)
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 . . .
Paul Thompson had the anxieties attendant to the
business of becoming a father of a 10-lb. boy to worry
him along with his exams last week . . Add sub
versive influences: Bill Douglas, Sigma Pi wrestler,
has joined the American Liberty League and is pass
ing out the pamphlets that flood his mail box .. .
Aside to Joe Swift: the pashy love missive you
may or may not remember writing in a local pretzel
house with Vernik and Henderson the other night is
in safe hands . . . Now about that Senior Ball
ticket . . .

warth's latest is Reed Ferguson ... Bunny Heagney
is back from a semester spent on a scholarship at
Michigan .. . Suggested title for all freshman
themes this month: "What I Did Between Semes
ters" .
A person we feel increasingly sorry for as the
weeks roll by is Mr. Harry Seamans of the P.S.C.A.
The middle of last September he predicted that 'lle
Nazi government in Germany will be bankrupt by
Octooei• 1, 1935." And look, here it is February al
ready yet. Yoh! .
Mike Zeleznock has been receiving letters from
all over the country about his series of articles on
"How to Box" which he and Brutzman wrote last year
. . . The stories are syndicated on a "Boys' and
Girls'" page edited by Boyce Morgan '26 . . .
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. Benton,
long-haired math prof. strides past their barber shops,
head erect, a book clutched over his heart?... Froth's
expose of The Maniac and Campy had us worried un
til we remembered that nobody reads Froth. . . . We
have always wanted to meet G. L. Trembley, instruc
tor in fish culture .
In ease they don't realize it, the Phi Psi's are har
boring a dirty capitalistic pledge. When asked - to take
a hook up to Mae hall for an upperclassman the other
night Bob Frankenherry called a taxi and rode both

somebody that doesn't speak English or, doesn't be
