Puckle, Smith Discuss Policies Both the United States and Great Britain are empires, and the only difference is that they admit it and we don't, according to Sir Frederick Puckle in his dis cussion with Robert 0. Smith of British and American colonial policies, which opened the 1947-48 Community Forum series in Schwab Auditorium last night. Sir Frederick went on to point out the outstanding similarities and differences of British and American colonial policies. Sir Frederick concluded with several criticisms of American policy. Among these were his at tacks on our "holier-than-thou" attitude regarding other empires and lack of realism in our ap proach toward colonial problems. In answering these criticisms, Smith pleaded guilty to the accu sation of our preaching as though we weren't an empire. He pro tested that we weren't completely lacking in realism. Our policy is growing more realistic, but our method of explaining this policy isn't. Mr. Smith also criticized Brit ish policy. He said that the Brit ish lag, especially in the present period of change, and they also lack imagination.

Today I saw Owl reserves run on the field with their left wings wrapped up in slings. When I inquired, they told me the reserves are trying out the "single wing" on the varsity. Caught a glimpse of Phil Slos burg down town. He was in a sporting goods store buying hiking boots and a knapsack. He told me he was headed for a grocery to buy lots of food. Seems he expects a slow trip over the Seven Mountains. Philly alumni spirit took me by surprise after the dull times of other years. A Blue and White-clad woman thrust a pack of Camel cigarettes into my paw and told me not to for get the smoker at the Adelphia. She doesn't know that I don't smoke camels—l eat them. You know, so far the Cougar. Bison and Ram haven't given me any trouble. Saturday night I'll probably be handing out Owl feathers. But that stench that hit me last night from out of the Southern breeze s ' didn't smell like lamb. 'That goat won't get my goat.
