'71 PHILOSOPHER COMES FORTH If we thought for a moment that the letter of the rugged individualist printed in our letter hex today re presented the sentiment of even ten per cent of the stu dent body or twenty per cent of the forestry school we would disco:A.lmm publication and take out membership in an anarchist society 4.4. the Liberty League. To those who would pooh-pooh the idea that Fascism can't happen here or wha say murderous ideas have no place in American life. the letter has quite a great deal of pertinence. Here is the philosophy of Fascism in its lice't flower. In Germany this noble scribe would be high in Nazi counsels, as ready for torturing Jews as far burning books. Here is the splendid Aryan phil osophy of Nazi Germany right in oar midst. It is only a step front the "Hell Week" that this barbarous cretin defends to the terror by night in the Ghettos and the intellectual centers of tortured Ger many..Gh;,en a resolute hand of such spirits with a will to power and we'd have all the refinements of Nazi enlightenment. If you want to know where the potential Fascist storm troops are now you need only seek out this "gentleman" end his pals, defending their right to bufn down buildings against "yellow Jewish hat men" at any bonfire. Or you may find them in more civilized form defending the manly benefits of "Hell Week." Un fortunately, our Nazi friend has neglected to affix his name to his letter, so our readers will be denied the ad•eeonte privilege of identifying hint on the campus. The whole technique of identifying Jews with cra venness, rapacity and racial inferiority is a Nazi ten et, without the slightest basis in fact. This feeling is and has been present in America. It motivated the bed slaiet lynchings of the Ku Klux Klan and the general mores mhieh deny Jews residence in our tony suburbs and do the "best" clubs. Our friend and his rapidly crystallizing Nazi movement in America are advancing this idea in its crudest, most murderous form. And yet this writer heard front the lips of an enlightened and well-meaning member of the faculty the conviction that Jews were poor sports competitors and that he looks for an "O'" prefix on a name before he has faith in the athletic ability of the person. With this idiotic and dark prejudice widely adhered to already , it only takes the impetus of homicidal halfwits like the letter writer and the growing despair of the middle class to establish it as a governmental philosophy. The COLLEGIAN and Frofh have been criticized for their ,constant hammering of Dirty Willie Hearst this year. We have done this because Willie the Rat is the articulated leader of American Fascism. Our moronic :orrespothlent does not know that he and Willie are mothers under their Aryan skins but they will rapidly iiscover their affinity for each other. It is the business every civilized human being to swat these children . af darknesss wherever they raise their horned heads. :)ur readers roust realize that we do not attack Hearst because he is Hearst but becauselii. and our gentle :orrespendent an! the prophets of American Fascism. The issues are coming out in the open more and ilorc every day. Intelligent people must make the Choice between civilization and Fascism before the ma jority even realize the crisis. Speculation as to the future activities of our scribe and his gong are in order. If he follows his profession -11 inclination out into the forests one is inclined to fear for the poor redwood trees. —J. T. D WOMEN ARE PEACE-MINDED Despite the fact that one co-ed at Miles Street dorm refused to buy at Peace Bond because her "boy friend" Wati a R. 0. T. C. officer and "what he stood for, she steed for," the Peace Bond movement has proved defin itely that Penn State women are more peace-minded than the men. Every woman's organization has bought bonds; as yet only fifteen fraternities have contributed and it is estimated that not more than twenty-five will. The women, comprising approximately one-fifth of the student body, have subscribed only twenty-five dollars less than the men. This is not particularly surprising—women arc traditionally peace-minded. Jeanette Rankin, the first, woman member of Congress, was one or the few to vote against American participation in the World Var. Women are one of the four principal groups advocating peace. Here again the old idea that every woman wants a man with a uniform seems proved to be only some body's .idea. Yet, it• seems rather strange that the majority of Penn State men, apparently so opposed to military training, will contribute nothing .for peace. Perhaps Street Scene: For some time there have been rumors .floating around about. a cc-ed at the freshman .women!s .dorm on the corner of West Beaver and South Burrowes who has been committing the nocturnal indiscretion of disrobing before a window at the Sront •of the house. This information journeyed farther west and farther south until it reached the Beaver House where Bill Balderston, Player, Thespian, swimmer, Peace Bond salesman, etc., heard it. Being a lad who favors empirical knowledge over the metaphysical vagaries of Scholasticism, he decid ed to investigate for himself. Several nights Inter on the way home he witnessed the rumored phenomenon. Re sauntered past the house on the other side of the street. Then he did an about-face and retraced his steps to thc.corner. The third time he was pass ing the house a boy and girl came out of the front door of the house. The fellow• looked at Bill and said: "Well, Balderston, don't you think it's about time you went home?" Bobly looked at the fellow by the light of the street lamp but didn't yeeognize him. Yes," he admitted, slowly moving away, "I suppose it is I , - Townsend Swann 17 Robert Grubb 717 Postcard: A postcard addressed to Chi Alpha ar rived the other. .day with this message: "Do you have a young gentleman living at your fraternity house named Richard H.

Evidently Mr. Nnegele won out because the Baldwin was used. All through the program we were afraid that Mr. Salmond's artistic temperament might take offense nt this slight, and cause him to act injudiciously. We can just imagine Mr. Salmond challenging Mr. Nee- r gele to a.duel to the death to be fought in the "Letters to the Editor" section of the Musical Observer. P. 0..

Considerable interest has developed in this series, and - keen competition is expected because the teams have established good records for thein delves in their respective areas. 9l :hough the Dußois center was started ally last fall, it has been able to pro-, duce a fine team. This tournament has been brought here in response to requests from the students in the undergraduate centers.
