Christmas Bells Will
Still Peal Merrily
“Peace on earth, good will to
ward men.” That’s what the
bells will be ringing in exactly 15
days.
And are we going to be a party
to this seeming hypocrisy? Are
we to continue laughing and jok
ing while our bafck yards are
blown to bits?
Americans shout “Yes.”
The strength that comes from
unity and the morale that rises
from good-naturedness are two
main stays of any country in any
war.
Last week, each of us had our
own ideas about situations; today,
our ideas are one. At such a time
as this, it is neither patriotic nor
sensible to do other , than support
our government. American blood
has been shed, Amterican ideas
and ideals flouted, American nav
al and military, forces attacked.
What about our democracy, you
query, if unified thinking be in
order? Through this democracy
—government by, for, and of the
people—the majority has decided
who shall lead. We can be staunch
adherents to democratic prin
ciples if we do as our leaders
deem fit.
Our ’officials tried .to avert the
inevitable,but other forces—name
ly Hitler—prevented peaceful
settlement. Now that we are in
the mess, our best stand is to act
as wisely as we can.
We, the women of this College
have not been sitting idly by
while time carried us further into
the conflict. We have knit for
the British, contributed to drives,
and worktejd for the Red Cross. In
doing these things while others
were at war, we have gleaned a
preview of the part we can play.
Last Spring, WSGA called for
coeds to sign up for defense
courses. During this semester;
organization for these courses has
been underway.
Next semester, four or five of
these courses will be offered.
They will include practical things,
material that will be of definite
use to us. It will soon be time
to re-enroll for these courses. Tak
ing as many of these as possible
we would be helping both our
country and ourselves in this war
that demands exact knowledge
and concise thinking.

handled by their respective men’s
and women’s judiciary bodies.
It was stressed that groups such
as IFC and WSGA will still han
dle their own particular drinking
problems, whereas , the 1 Qabinet
sub-committee will hear only
specific cases of mixed drinking.
In cases of mixed drinking in
fraternities, IFC would have jur
isdiction over the fraternity, and
Cabinet over individuals involved.
As stated in the last clause of
the resolution, Tribunal will still
have jurisdiction over men’s
drinking charges and WSGA ju
dicial over non-mixed women’s
drinking.
On presenting the code Lehman
pointed out that such a resolution
was needed as a blanket regula
tion to coordinate the various
campus judiciary bodies, and to
help relieve confusion created by
the independent judiciary groups.
It was suggested that mixed
drinking violations shall be re
ported to the assistant deans' of
men and women. .
