Townrend Swaim 17 Manadior Editor This Issue._ Newts Editor Thin Friday, April 3, 1936 THE FIGHT AGAINST HEARST It is significant to note that the small community newspapers have taken up the fight against William Randolph Hearst. The April 1 issue of the Punxsutaw ney Spirit carries a leafing editorial condemning Hearst for his activities. It is these small town newspapers that will deal Hearst the most devastating blow in the long run. Once they have set theniselves down to deriding that dicta tor• of public opinion his power will be greatly lessened. They can, more than any other agency, successfully show the "man in the street" the fallacy Of what Hearst proposes as "Americanism," and tear through his camouflage of flag-waving. It is seldom that these small toxin newspapers print editorials against anything such as the Hearst chain. Most of their editorials are what newspapermen called "calmed;' editorials Written by news agency men dealing with practically non-controversial sub jects. It is therefore, a big surprise to the readers of such a paper to find a locally written editorial so vigor ously condemning. Hearst. This surprise, more than anything else, makes them realize the seriousness of the situation. It is when these "home town" papers begin blast• ing away at something for from being trivial that the rather stolid and placid "public" begins to awaken to *hat is going. on It is also significant to note that the news stories concerning the investigation of Hearst's actions by the United States Senate are far snore damaging than any number of editorials PEACE FOR THE PEACE MAKERS If it were not for the tremendous importance of the issues ht stake the wrangling between the local , peace organizations would afford a disinterestsed observer little but chuckles. Unfortunately, however, where peace and war are concerned there can be ho "disinterested obseivers.' More unfci.tsinately, sinless some degree of harfnony can lie esablished between the Student Peace Atcion Council and the American Student Union, the present "non-cooperation" will develop into actual op poSition.: When that happens it is fairly evident that the student body will begin to appreCiate the ludicrouSneSs of two peace groups fighting each othei and dismiss the Whole movement as a joke. The mind of the student body acts that way. To understand the recent friction it is necessary to see how it developed. When the student mobilization against war was planned lust fall two grOup's here took the lead. For a short time there existed some degree of cooperation between them, but when the one group tried to gain control and failed the breach between them widened until, when it was decided to set up a perman ent ciigailization, the two elements had completely brok en with each 'other. One groin), under the protective wing of the Chris thm - Association; organized the Peace Action Council, on organization which already has accomplished a great deal. It has brought Smedley Butter and Frederick Lib by fir speak lure and has done other constructive work, its Peace Emphassis week and Peace 'Bond drive being most . notewOrthy. , . The otlier group, after a briedife t4,..the`M . Student League, has now organized a's a local chapter of the American Student Unioh. This organization, ac cording to its oivit publicatioh, the Student Aduoertie, is the "first full alliance of progressiVes, liberals, .and radicals in American life." Its program includes S. Peace Strike on April 22 and the local chapter is Making Plans to sponsor one here. Because of the unfortunate connotation of the word "strike" and because it is afraid of a repetition of last spring's demonstration, which eventually degenerated into a Communistic exhortation to "thin* off the chains of Capitalism," the Peace Action Council, unwilling to risk its reputation for respectability, refused to co operate with the A. S. U. Realizing how important its aid is, the A. S. U. has Made repeated efforts to enlist it. The Council's answer, implied if not stated, has been that since previous connections between the two groups have had unfortuhate conclusions, another union is like ly to end in the same fashion. Although understandable, this attitude fails to take .into consideration one inniortant fact. Previously the group WhiCh now makes up the A. S. U. was an hide pendent one. It now has national - affiliatioiii with a liberal but sane organization behind it advise principles it is bound to regard. Whoa the Student Advocate an nounces, concerning the proposed 'strike, that "Every effort is being made to enlist the aid of college ad ministrators in the gesture," and that "it is fatal to set up a breach between 'peace education' and sustained, uit. remitting public action," it would seem apparent that the Council could cooperate With the A. S. U. and run hut little risk of marring its own reputation for respec tability. But whether or not it enlists the Council's aid, it devolves upon the A. S. U. to demonstrate its capacity to Pat on an orderly, rational, and sensible Peace Strike on April 22 and to prove to certain Conservative souls that Peace Strikes and the A. S. U. are not synonamous with Red demonstrations and Moscow. If that is done and we have two strong groups working toward the same goal, in harmony rather that in opposition, the local "peace situation" will be shotving signs of defin ite improvement. —4. B.

We were not listed on the voting machine and the powers refused to issue the old fashioned paper ballots to several champions of a lost cause who wanted to vote for us. Somehow we can't get worked up into being very vindicative about the whole thing, but here are a few of the exposes tic promised if defeated: The Gables is the women's dorm where the gals mast have their monthly copy of "Breezy Stories" ... Old Main Second floor is still the favorite spot for week-night dates ... But it will soon be warm enough to go up on the baseball field . . . Dart Henderson is the culprit who late-dated Drake :.. Leo Houck is the faculty's champion poker plat ... and George MorriS takes first homirs as n borrower of tuxes . Doc Dunaway's idea of an old reprobate is 'a person Who smokes cigarettes before breakfast ... We had always supposed it was the type of person who would drink raw gin in the. middle of the afternoon . . .

The sweetest job of arranging is the incidental music Hum Fithburn wrote for the Cold Room scene to represent the desperation and chaos of Black Fri day on the stock exchange . . . He has part of the band playing in waltz tempo While the rest plays 2-4 and the result is a triumph in cacophonous effective- Little Jean Kolar and Helen Rountree ai•e the only two left in the chorus who have been in the line up for four years . . .
