DEBATERS:
OUR SHOWDOWN
Continued From Page 1
THE DEBATING GKO,UP has admitted
a surplus of .approximately ‘ $450, at the
.present tun?. IVue enough Forensic Coun
cil curtailed .its program somewhat and
slashes its budget more .than 17 per cent
last year. - • 1
Vet, how noticeable was this' reduction
‘to ,tHe average member of the student
body? Many of-them are not even aware
that, a 50 cent .debate fee is being paid an
nually. Still-others either do not know or
do not cape whether the debase team takes
10 trips or 100; whether Noijman Thomas
or Tony Galenlo appears here; whether five
cents or twenty-five cents is spent for a
cigar
Even with the $460 surplus expenditure
figures'reveal that more might have been
saved had the dignified debaters lowered
themselves to the “traveling tramp” class
of thp Penn State Glee Club.
faking comparative figures on separate
major Eastern tours by the respective or
ganizations, the Collegian found:
The three-man debate team traveled by
Pullman, while the 80 musicians went by
local bus, " ■■
The'debaters stopped at one of the more
exclusive New York hotels.for the sum, of
$23.20 for two nights, while the Glee Club
doubled up as best they could with al
umni or friends of the College.
, The orators suffered no ill effects from
hunger, obtaining three square meals a dav
for $6.5(1 on one occasion and $6.20 jin an
other, and evOn humbled thepiselves to oc
casional “midnight snacks.” The Glee Club
was “charity fed.”
Laundry, valet service, tips, and the like
seemed but incidental expenses to the de
baters, but the Glee Club paid for its own
laundry, carried its own luggage, and
tipped from its own feeble treasury
NEXT WEEK, the All-College Cabinet
will again have an opportunity to consjder
Hus debate fee. Under the new constitu
tion, the Cabinet, in conjunction with the
Interclass Finance Board,' will, have the
power to split this fee if it so desires. Its
action will, of course, be subject to the ap
proval of the College. Adminstratiop.
If consideration is to be granted to the
Glee Club it must be granted NOW. ’Any
further postponement of a controversy,
which has already been too Ipng-ivinded
over’a span of years syould provoke more
"heated dispute, greater ill feeling, and less
chance fop any decision.
: Student leaders in the Cabinet -vyitji the
courage to fight for ther convictions mbst
settle the issue once and for all.

that funds should be provided for

claimed he could see no logical

Flexible Policy Seen
As Key To Neutrality
By ADAM A SMYSER
, American neutinlity in the Second World War depends largely on
the nation’s ability to adopt a flexible foieign policy, Arthur H. Reede,
assistant professor of economics, said yesterday
{Whether or not American (lemo
crncy could survive,war, he said,
would likely he determined by the
length ,of the conflict, the extent
and permanency of political and
economic adjustments made dur*
ing the war, and the extent of mal*
adjustments—such os depression
—which are bound to follow
Legislation Unsatisfactory
Reede pointed out that the pres
ent neutrality legislation is unsat
isfactory and urged that any in
flexible legislation is likely to take
us Into war While our 1917 leg
islatinn as applied to Europe may
he satisfactory to many, it would
work against China if the Presi
dent were ever tp recognize that,
was war in the Far East, he
showed
Axtieulrality hoard which could
adjust national policy to suit the
shifting needs of the times was
mged by the professor “Ideally,”
he said, “this would be composed
of two cabinet members, one sen
ator from each party, and one re-,
presentative from each party”
However, he .considers this propos
al politically impractical
Responsibility in One Unwise
To vest sole* responsibility for
the United States foreign policy in
one man, the President, was prov
en unwise In 1914-17, Reede point
ed out The present Congress
feels this, be thinks, and is unlike-
Uv to vest such power in President
Roosevelt.’ .
Besides flexibility of our foreign
policy,, factors which are likely to
affect our entry into wai, Reede
stated, are tije" length of the con
flict, and how the Allies fare.in
their campaign ’
- “We have never yqt stayed out
of a long European war,” he stated,
citing ..the undeclared naval war
with France in 1797, the War of
1812. and the World Wiar -
“Will, Fight for Allies”
“It is safe to assume,” lie con
tinued, “that we will fight for the
Allies rather than seo them beaten
by Geimany After all! our Mon*
toe Doctrine has been more of an
Anglo American' declaration than
an American one with the result
that we aie not likely to stand bj
and see England, defeated ”
Should we enter the war, Reede
saTd, 'the fate o£\. democracy will
.depend l bn how far-reaching and
how permanent government con
trol becomes The longer the war,
the less tbe probability that the
dictatorial organization setup dur
ing its progress is Hkely’to he re
linquished, he said

We jWomen
HJOUSEPARTY IS LOOMING,
and, as'usual, we women have a.
lot of advice to give, especially ta
‘the freshmen who are supposedly
new to it all ' .
For one thing, freshman women
should be a little careful about how
and whpn they make dates J for
houseparty To them, it may seem
Just like making any othei date,
but theie leally aie a lot more
things to considei Saying "yes'’
to the first student-union-dancei
who asks you to a housepnity may
mean a miserable week-end
Houseparty isn’t one date'; it is
rathei a succession of from three
to ten dates, one light after, the
other So • when you accept a
housppni ty'bhl, don't take the first
one offeied to you unless vou
think vou will enjoy spending that
much time' with the person If
you say “yes” at youi flist Stu
dent Union dance, you’ie liable to
wish vou could change youi mind
several times befoie the week-end
arrives
And if you don’t get, to this
