THE COLLEGIAN
War News—
(Continued from page seven)
certainly bring a heart attack on
the Nazi stalwarts. Condeming
the war in Asia the pessimists say :
it will continue for two or three
years. The moderates see eighteen
months more of combat. The op
timists one year.
A Sudden Armistice
The outcome of an abrupt term
ination of hostilities would have
great economic, political and so
cial significance. Literally mill
ions of jobs would vanish. Large
scale unemployment would pro
duce a shock equivalent to Pearl
Harbor. Incomes would be cur
tailed disastrously; and a new
way of life would have to be as
sumed on both the home-front
and among the men in uniform.
Domestic political issues would
be rushed to the forefront, new
peace-making leadership would
be called forth without adequate
intellectual or moral prepara
tion.
A quick peace in Europe would
mean probably 600,000 of our
service men hurriedly sent into
Germany, and upwards of 2,000,-
000 moved to the Pacific to expe
dite the campaign there. The rate
of demobilization would no doubt
be somewhere between 200,000
and 300,000 per month. This will
mean new and difficult disloca
tions, and our problems of move
ment, supply and policy-making
would be as challenging as ever.
We did relatively little in the
first World War, and our part in
determining the peace terms prov
ed to be relatively minor. This
time we have done much more,
and our authority and prestige
at the peace table will be propor
tionately greater. Our leadership
in the war is a symbol of our
potential' influence in the build
ing of the new world order. Al
ready we are, indicating to both
our allies and enemies that we
favor a league to enforce peace, a
world bank with a fluid fund to
lubricate world trade and a firm
international agreement regarding
aviation, communication resources
and world-wide commercial ex
pansion.
Finally back to the war itself.
Only death has mastered the Chin
ese to Hengyang. We have sunk
500 enemy submarines. Since D
Day alone we have destroyed 2,-
000 enemy planes. The Axis cas
ualties are amazingly high on all
fronts. We have proved the super
iority of our equipment, man
power quality and industrial ma
chinery. Looking always for the
obvious from us, we have de
livered against the enemy a long
sequence of surprises that have
shocked and overcome the best
that they could offer in the way
of opposition.
.' IWA and IMA are planning a
combination dance and scavenger
hunt for September 9. The dance
will be in the Armory, and those
wishing to participate in the hunt
will leave from there. Tickets will
be 35 cents and cokes will be sold
at the dance.
Skull and Bones
(Continued from page one)
tended to men prominent in var
ious campus activities.
Up until recent years, pledging,
was formalized with a “Tap Day" |
ceremony on Holmes Field. It was
here that Parmi Nous, also an up
perclass activities society, coop
erated with Skull and Bones in
selecting members. Important Col
lege administrators were' present
at the tapping. 7
Students who realized the poss
ibility of receiving bids to either
of the two organizations assem
bled on Holmes Field on the ap
pointed day. Representatives of
both Skull and Bones and Parmi
Nous then approached the pros
pective members and tapped them
on their shoulders, signifying the,
organization’s desire to have the
individual as a member.
Both hat societies alternated in
tapping. A tap on the sholder toy
a Parmi Nous member disquali
fied the student for admittance,
into Skull and Bones, and vice
versa.
Art Exhibit-

and indistinct a figure % marches

■For the reporter “John Brown”
by the noted artist, John Steuart
Curry created the most vivid im
pression. It is the embodiment of
fanaticism. -
'Symbolically the characteristic
ally spiralling cloud .of a tornado
rises in the background. The
strength of the abolitionist’s emo
tions radiate from his eyes.
For any person to attempt to
tell the public what reactions they
should get from art is as ridicu
lous as the commentaries on music
programs which attempt to in
terpret the selections! Art is a
personal matter. Only by visiting
the exhibit in the library will the
reader be able to decide whether
he agrees with these impressions.
