Dye Jr.,, head •bf the English literature department here, "Those who would discard liberal studies entirely in times ,of crisis are either ignorant of their value or among those shortsighted • folk ,who are continu ally substituting expedience for principle and ex perience. Liberal studies have less to do than those studies concerned primarily 'with the so called material of war: Food, munitions, and ma chines. But worker and combatant, too, should yto:; be mere robots. making munitions, producing fo(.d, and driving machines, but rather men and women bending every effort for a democracy hi which they thoroughly believe. It is the purpose and the task of the liberal studies to provide such persons with the ideals that will enable them to carry on their appointed tasks with courage and in lelligence." Smoke In Your Eyes Once upon a time when the Indians inhabited these hills, putts of smoke went up as signals to inform other tribes of important events which were of vital concern, to their neighbors. And when they smoked the peace pipe, it generally was a round a fire in the open or in a big wigwam, whose opening at the top left the smoke escape. Today times have changed, Only chimneys of buildings, trains and boats belch clouds of smoke in. the air. And when people gather around for recreation they smoke mostly cigarettes. But Rec Hall has no big opening. at the top to :fcee the air of its smoke haze. Any persons watch jhg the basketball game have to pierce through the fog-like air to identify the moving blurs •on the lia,:ketball floor. No, it's not quite as bad as all that, but smoking is IRec Hall does make it both stuffy and hazy. With several thousand persons in the stands the ;Air is almost certain to become stagnant, a condi. lition . which smoke only aggravates. Another lit tie item to consider is the fire hazard, although the ;;pacious gym isn't exactly likely to go up in smoke )4(e the stands often seem to do. Tonightis the Army-Navy basketball game, ioici next semester will see a 'lot more: h the per .l:on next to you pulls out a cigarette or pipe and •; .tarts smoking at the game, remind him this isn't lioston, and it would make the evening a little )store enjoyable if you could breathe and see the 1-einember that person whose name appears in otv.ost as many places. as President Roosevelt's— l!so:z,:ro king.

Crowing achievement of the' weekend. And expensive, too. It cost exactly $71.50. And in the end they didn't get the tree they were after. It appears that, with the shortage of Christmas trees becoming acute, several pledges of a house (we won't divulge the name for personal reasons), started out at 2 a. in. to get their house a tree. After several close shaves with the local gendar- . merie, they lost. One of them got caught. Squire Hart's judicious decision in the matter was in di rect opposition to the pledge's hopes. Payment has been made, though, and the source of the sad plight, formerly the property of the Centre Hills Country Club, now rests at the Lytle's Addition Nursery School. We hope the kids have a swell time. It cost somebody plenty. Whew!! The remark of the week rests to the credit of one Ridge Riley of the Public Information depart ment. After Collegian's spokesman, Julius Cassius; had related the sad plight of Collegian's outstand ing award (no senior and no award) at' Saturday night's basketball game, Mr. Riley sitting close by, chimed in with the sparkliDg remark, "We're glad YOU made it, Milt." • The Challenge Still Goes Louis H. Bell The usual Froth brawl was held Saturday night, as if everybody didn't hear. And as usual, the frothies one and all were about proudly proclaim ing their astute abilities as guzzlers. s4:i loudly were they acclaiming their prOweSs that Ye 'torn er Hotel's management was forced to call Chief Frothie Berkov into the halls to ask for a slight diminuation in the racket. Berkov was in the pro cess of swearing up and doWn that Froth Men Can hold their- liquor when three of them staggered out of the banquet room. One of them added to the Chief's boast by promptly falling down the three flights of stairs to the street. Goodness gra cious! And Now . . , . Gene Yeager Sigmapi's complaining again. He says he never gets his name in Collegian any more. Sorry Gene. We'll try to make it seem like old times again if you'll keep going out with Evie Williams though. How's that? Beginning next week, we trunk we'll turn this column over to Bill Christoffers Beta who is around the Collegian office until all hours anyway because of some of the comely wenches who help put the. rag on the nress the first of each week. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN we, .51te Women This Time -You Can Talk "Loose lips may sink ships" and "Vence is golden," .but a few words spoken here and there may sometimes be of value. The Curtiss_Wright Corporation has been interviewing coeds for its course which will begin here next semester. At first limited to junior and senior women, the course will now be open to graduating coeds, alumni, and second semester soph . - omores. Requiring only a one and one half years' training in basic mathe .matical or engineering courses, Curtis-Wright will prepare women for the propeller and air-frame departments of their factories. In terested coeds should make ap -pointments at the office of the dean of women. These facts are not well-known to all persons who once obtained degrees here. Your talking may be beneficial 'here. The noising about of this information•will be appreci ated. If you're looking for a topic of conversation over the ;holidays, here's one which deserves broad_ easting.
