Should _that time atone, millions of Americans would spring up overnight to de- fend their eonntry from the enemy Rot, say the advocates of eumpulory'ntilitury train ing, we need oftieers capable. of leading the wne. True. But don't we have an army? A navy? A marine corps? Military, training schools? Naval am doilies? And can anyone .say—truthfully, honestly, sincerely—that two years of compulsory military train ing in the 'R. 0. T. C.gives.to a man the ability to lead a company in a REAL war? Can anyone deny that It is necessary to take some thing more than the -basic course in military training in order to become an officer, an able officer? If it isn't necessary, then why do we have so-called "advanced" courses in military training? And if students are so interested in military training as to take the OPTIONAL ADVANCED course, isn't it only logical to believe they would be interested in taking an OPTIONAL BASIC course? The ease for compulsory military training seems to he shaped like a doughntit, with all proof and all-common sense in the center The Collegian does not oppose R. 0. T. C.. because it is military training. The Collegian opposes R. 0. T. C. because it is COM PULSORY MILITARY TRAINING. SHRINKING BUILDINGS IT JS MORE than interesting and enlightening to note the changed in the expected building appropriations as quoted • State and...those, 'those quoted—recenly. Largest. (IC:1'0101C in the appropriation from P\VA funds is the aliment allotted to the new Library. Ap proximately the fonds for this building have been slash ed from one million dollars to $500.000. Slicing. in half the amount for one of the moM, portant structures is a serious blow to the purpasz of expansion. The old library houses approximately 275,- 000 books. A new library without wings,will house but :100,000. It has been interesting to note What happens to half-finished buildings. For example take the Textile Chemistry and Main Engineering buildings—both or iginally slated for wings. The present library is too small and inadequate for the present student enrollment. 'With other btiildingq going up,.that need will be amplified. That is but one example. Take a look at the general trend. The figures are furnished by Col.' Augustine S. Janeway, chairman of the State Authority.

After about two months, lie scrutinized them carefully, and asked one (we don't know which) the following: "Are you two sisters?" lionseparly After All Bun Anderson, lihi gam, has really been perturbed about hnuseparty, we learn. lie had a gal all i pieked out to ask, and then found that he hadn't' the where withal to proceed. (This is •by no means to be con strued as a sheriff's sale.) This was' right along the general opinion among coed= that there was no houseparty.

Mr. Cllsarkhnow ing that - Mr. Anderson land no dale, proceeded to tin Mr. Anderson up with one.

As they would agree in the terms of the Wyand, "They are being so—000000eeed." TO appease this wrath, there is a move afoot to swill the whole situation by allowing W. S. G.
