Powers %IS Caroline T 5 ,on 111in/wing Editor This I?sue_ Noss Editor This isime Tuesday, April 28, 1936 COLONEL LEDERER AGAIN In his answer to the editorial in last week's Cot LEGIAN, Colonel Lederer has, we feel, misunderstood our position. We do not kooo' Colonel Lederer's stand on the war question, but when we see anyone brand as "Too ridiculous to give it thought" the statement that "War has no place in Christianity and it cannot be justified in the eyes of Jesus Christ," our immediate'reactionis to consider that person opposed to the pence movement. If this was an error, if Colonel Lederer was really in favor of the peace movement, ours was probably an error which most of the readers of his statement also made. We felt that unless he were opposed to the peace strike and similar demonstrations he would scarcely de nounce, in such vehement language, another person speaking in aver of the movement. As a rule workers for peace try to compose their differences privately. The cause is not aided by public bickerings over minor is sues. If Colonel Lederer was really motivated in his at tack by ideals of peace, then our feeling in the matter is that he showed poor judgment. The Col.t..xa.A.N , has no intention of defending the statements' of Reverend Carruthers. The other letter which we publish does a good job of that. Neither have we any intention of attacking Colonel Lederer personally through his war record or of - aligning him' with "d'Mr. Hearst." , We simply feel . that his' attitude:toward'lVar might be a little different if he had seen More extensive underfire service. And if we suggested that he might have been reading Hearst editorials it was not, as he ays, because he requested "the right . . . to express (his) views in discussion," but it was because the views which Colonel Lederer. scented likely to express were suspiciously akin to those which fill William Randolph's columns. Of course, the Colonel may have arrived at these opinions without any outside influence. Although we still feel that the position of Chris tianity upon war is scarcely. a suitable debate topic, the COLLEGIAN, in order perhaps to demonstrate to Colonel Lederer that no attempt has been made "to muzzle" him, is willing to act as a sponsor to such a discussion, pro vided there is someone willing to oppOse him. Reverend Carruthers has already expressed his unwillingness to do. so. If no other champion appear's, we will, assume that no one feels that the Colonel's statements are worth taking seriously. • In implying that Colonel Lederer had seen; no over seas service the COLLEGIAN was in error and guilty of publishing a statement, fram what at the time seemed a reliable -source, without properly verifying it. For this Mistake apologies are extended. TO THOSE WHO ARE interested in knowing more about the facts concerning the ROTC "gauntlet" episode here this winter, we recommend the article in the cur rent (April) number of the Student Advocate, entitled "Storm Troops at Penn State." A cartoon by Jim Du gan illustrates the article. "LA VIE" EFFICIENCY For the first time the senior board of La Vie, as an nounced last week, will be made up of an art and edi torial staff, the business staff now being eliminated. As a result of this consolidation, the senior board.has been cut to thirteen members. This fall it was decided to try the experiment on the junior board of combining the work-of the business and editorial staffs. This was a logical step, since near ly all the duties of the former had disappeared and its only important function was to take charge of senior photographs. During the past year the junior candi dates all did the same type of work with quite satisfac tory results. Under the new set-up there should be a more com pact organization with a resulting elimination of waste effort. Probably the staff could be cut still more with out any loss in efficiency, but the, saws which lop off lucrative jc,b.- move exceedingly slow on the college campus.

Dr. Edmonils continued by saying that the tremendous social change that has occurred during the last 50 years has given people more time for avecational interests. "There are . 3 principles that should govern the relation between vocations and avocations," Dr. Edmonds said. "They tire balance, change and serv ice. In' vocation there is a duty o perforni while in avocation there is a chance to' develop character and personality: You should not overem phasize either one, but keep a balance Isetween them.

Ile expresses it by having, Hosea Biglow, a charac ter in "The Biglow Papers, First Se ries," speak in dialectic but crystal clea• verses. These papers were pub lished 90 years ago., If Don Car ruthers is a "sensationalist" so was Lowell when it was even more un popular to speak, honestly. Lowell feels: "Ez fer war, I call it murder— There you hey it plain na',.stlat I don't want to go no furtkr Than my Testyment fer that; • God htz sed so plump on' fairly, ' It's en long en is broad, An' you've gut to get up early Ef you want to take in God.

The whole matter is not for debate, but simply knOwing the Mind of Him, ,vho would not even allow a friend to :njure the ear of an enemy in the Garden of Gethsemane. I quote from The Way by W. P. Merrill, "Is this_ not the way we too .ften think of Jesus.? We admire Him beyond words. But we _would not be such [dais as to do actually Ant He says We call Him 'Lord' and then do as we please. Then we wonder why Christianity is so weak." Sincerely, Robert W.

W. Carruth ers may I call your attention to the facts which inspired this challenge. As you will' please notice, I, did not take exception to anything which.had been stated at the Peace Meeting re garding War other than that which was said with reference to the Reli gion of Jesus Christ. My challenge to the theologian is, not political, economical, or militaris tic based upon, my affiliations with World War organizations. But it is based upon my interpre tations of the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Once upon a time we were lead into zealous beliefs by the Clergy without the privilege to Study God's word, but now we have'the Bible in simple lan guage to read, study, and fulfill, with out, the aid.of• the theologian. With this • privilege we hmie been granted the right, in this free coun- Lry, to express 'our views in , discus sion and open 'forum. The right I requested, Mr. Carruth ers to fulfill, and because of this re quest you align me with a Mr. Hearst and attack me personnally thrti my War Record. This queStion is one of the most fundamental questions confronting the student body and yet you try to discredit my citizenship responsibil ity. . It may be permissable to run some loose statements in the news column of a newspaper but the editorial col umns should contain the truth. For your information I could net belong to a - Veterans of - Foreign Wars orga nization unlesS I had Overseas duty. Further, us ,an 'officer I was' subjectlo the orders of -my superiors but whey ever those orders designated I should be, found, me there, performing- my duties in an honest and loyal manner. Even though you may not agree with me in principles you should not' try to muzzle a man or attack his personal record unless he violated some law of society. Respectfully, , Eugene H.
