PAGE TWO With The Editor It .would be nice if one could i.'lame John L. Lewis and his striking coal miners i'or the lack of heat in the Pollock Circl c Dormitories but that isn’t the case. Splinterville boys, returning from the Thanks giving vacation Sunday night, received a very cold reception. Perhaps the College has some reason for not having a merry blaze going in each and every 'furnace. The tact remains: the boys came back ;( rid spent a cold and shivering night. The biggest difficulty seemis to be the present pystem of firing the 'furnaces. At eleven p. m. th% fire is banked and isn’t touched until the next i'norning—after the dorm residents get up.~ ißanking a Tire may be accepted practice in sub stantial, well-built structures. But the chinks and draft's are too numerous in Splinterville manor. Three blankets and a coat aren’t quite enough to keep warm under sudh conditions, but a lump of coal occasionally during the night would help. Miami was n ever like this.

Stu dents who use artificial stimulation, prior to examinations, of excessive amounts of strong coffee, Nod'oz or Caffeine Tablets, are surely whipping that old tired ibeast. This type of stimulation results in a short lived 'brilliance followed Iby a depression of thought processes which are frequently responsible for the individual not .writing on his examination papers, in coordinated' fashion, the knowledge he has of a given subject.

The story, written 'by a student .of the College who visited in both countries this past summer, pretends to 'be impartial. The net result of the article, -however, is to paint as black a picture of Russia as possible. . - - ' The greatest single wrong committed by the writer was lo overlook all mention of the com parative forms of government and standards o! living in Poland and Denmark, both now and be fore the war. There never was any possible comparison be tween tire two countries. 'For centuries the peo ple of Denmark have been ■wealthy, well educated, and progressive, and have lived under a constitutional monarchy. Poland, on the other hand, has been a morass of poverty, illiteracy, and backwardness! under a .feudal system of government. To blame Russia, who now controls Poland, for all these .wretched conditions is to disregard ten centuries of history. The second wrong committed in the story was to base it almost entirely on information, from only one type of informants. The writer does not speak 'Polish: His material for the story came from 1 people in Poland who spoke English. These people were almost entirely from either the educated class who would resent a dictatorial form of government under any nation’s rule, or from Poles who had once lived in America, and had gone back with their pile. Naturally these people are bitter at the Soviets for penalizing capitalistic enterprise and confis cating accumulations of wealth. Had the writer been able to -talk to a few peasants who now own a (few acres of land —ones who had owned none under a feudal Polish lord 'before the war— his attitude might have been different. ■Another slam at Russia comes when the writer tells of eating cake and ice cream one afternoon, and finding out later that this was “illegal” on that day of the week. Til's hints at the existence of rationing, but does not make clear the strict ration program- needed to feed a starving people and an occupying army. Eating ice cream there on Thursday was no more illegal than was driv ing your car to the movies in the United States during gas rationing, or eating meat on Tuesday in Canada during the .war. ■ picket lines at two Oakland de partment stores.
