Management Business Manager Clem Thomas Circulation Manager Gene Matthews Faculty Advisers Miss Craig - Mr. Andrew - Miss Poovey Chewing Gum To hear a person chewing gum aloud With open mouth, gives me a nervous chill. It seems to me that he should be too proud To emulate a cow, who eats her fill. Then, rests and chews her cud by some small rill. I’d rather see that cow in pas ture green; She knows it is not better to be heard than seen. —Margaret Ryan Printing Shop Supervisor Mr. Daniel Manager Wallis Orr Typesetters: Henry Miller William Fowler George Buchanan. Press Man Sam Tweed The World Peace “Gesture’^ By John Wahonick The nations of the world met at Geneva, Switzerland, for the purpose of outlawing the greatest and most disgraceful of all crimes —war. The results of this meet ing was the formation of the League of Nations. It was the duty of this organization to pen alize any nation, or nations, who were guilty of aggressive action against the integrity and lights of another nation. Its role was to correspond to our present-day police force. Two powerful reactionary forces staked their all on this collective security union—one force, lives and souls; the other, material wealth. The former force represented people of every race, color, creed, and nationality in this world. The latter force represented the ‘ ‘mer chants of destruction and death.” Once again the masses lost out, for the would-be representatives of the people really represented the arms and munition manufact urers. We have just recently celebrat ed another anniversary of the end of the World Catastrophe which began in 1914. Twenty two years after this war—in which 17,000,000 men, the flower of mankind, not mentioning the women and children-- were de stroyed, we find the nations arm ed to the teeth. Europe is a veritable armed camp once more, as it was during 1914. All that is needed now is a spark to set off this frothing volcano. At this time it looks as if the spark is to be civil-wai'-torn Spain. The Spanish “Crisis” may prove to be the Sarajevo and set the stage for converting Europe into another gigantic slaughter house, n e League of Nations had casi .idide its imperialistic designs and underhand diplomacy, these conditions would not be confront ing the masses today. When this international peace ‘gesture” allowed Japan to in vade and conquer Manchuria in 1931, when Hitler was allowed to reoccupy and remilitarize the Rhineland, and when Mussolini was not kept from embarking on his Crusade to “civilize” Ethio pia, the League of Nations as a “World Police Force” was doom ed. To add to this consternation. Hitler and Mussolini were “per mitted” to break the Spanish Non-Intervention Pact, by aid ing and abetting the overthrow of the present Spanish govern ment, which was put into power by the Australian ballot system. This no one can deny. History has proved the League to be a farce, with thanks espec ially to the Hearst, Zaharoff, and Du Pont interests. The Skoda and the Krupp arms and ammu nition manufacturers were also an integral part of this great “busi ness” triumph. Their“business” is the destruction of mankind, and it will continue to be a thriv ing success for them until ignor ance, superstition, and selfishness are replaced with love in practice, not in theory. Kaleidoscope Human Interest-Comment-Events By Odell Salmon WORTH a FORTUNE Sentimental value cannot be weighed in material terms. Yet that which is connected with a person through years of associa tion, or that which is a gift of an intimate friend, may be valued; and that value will usually be comparatively low. But the owner would not part with it for a fortune. Associated value is the difference. Jewelry is a lasting and an ap propriate gift; more people there fore posses articles of jewelry with this particular value than keep-sakes of any other material. Yet such things as a book, a pen, atheletic equipment, a sweater, or desk articles are often among these “million-dollar sions. SO THEY SAY posses Haw, Jean Reigard: “Haw, Haw—Love, Love, Love.” Loraine Shropshire: (Eagtrly quoting some one’s joke to a Re publican ) “What is the color of Lahdon’s socks?” (Pause.) “You should know, because you were one of his supporters.” FUNNY, BUT THEY DRESS THAT WAY Ezry—“So you’ve got back from the big city, have you, Eben? What difference did you find between the city an’ the country?” Eben—“They ain’t much differ ence after all. In the country you go to bed feelin’ all in and get up feelin’ fine, and in the city you go to bed feehn’ fine an’ get up feelin’ all in.” Week-end stepping out for Bre vard boys requires only a few minutes of preparation, for most of them do not don a tux, nor do they even wear detachable cul- ars. And, consequently, ncnt of them asks Jenkins, Godfrey, (or whoever the roommate-but- ler may be) to get out the spats, arush off the top hat, ’ or refil the cigarette case. Rather dressing gets about as much time as a class assignment (about fifteen minutes). Few are particular about which suit it will be—(number one or number fifteen); a blue tie looks the same as a tan; any clean shirt will do, regardless of the color, unless someone who has a little taste is around to tell him that any col lege boy should have better taste than that. The shoes get a quick rub with a dirty towel, and any clean handkerchief will do for the apel pocket. But the hair—it always gets careful grooming; in fact, it is combed, combed, and re-combed. The girls like them anyway, so why dress so swanky. MOTHERHOOD BRINGS LL.D Mrs. Otelia A. Compton v^as recently awarded an LL. D. for motherhood. She is the single person to receive an honorary de gree for being a mother. But before many commencement pro grams have passed, other moth ers wil! be awarded similar de grees or the same. In the No vember issue of the American Magazine Mrs. Compton is the guest editorial writtr, and she has written an editorial that will be worth reading time of any girl. OFF-MOMENT THOUGHTS Onions and Depper are used in soup to keep it hot. Venus de Milo went a Irmg way before she learned that biting the finger nails is not a good policy. SMALL T0V;N STREET TALK MoFt of the “language of the street’ in the sniBll town which is 'ashed fort h by a mountaineer or backwoodsman (from the back of the woods) is difficult to re peat, much less to spell. Yet occasionally a high schoool girl (or escap-rd biddie) will pass the news-stand and rave about a picture of Robert Taylor. Very few people sprak to each other when they pass (that is, if they own a business or are connected with one), b cause they are en emies. There is always (unless it is terrificlly cold) a group of boys (drug-store cowboys) dis cussing a ly thing from athlet ics down to girls. Somewhere thsre will b^ a cjup'e of politici ans whooping it up to each other. A couple (several couples) of farmers will talk between clanks of the cud about when the hog should be killed, what wheat is bringing, or the amount of milk the cow gives. The women are crouched in the drug store, beau ty shop, or department store, reeling off gossip. A frantic man ran into a police station, and handing the officer woman’s picture, said: “My wife is missing! I want to find her.” Officer (after looking at pic ture)—“Why?” To have economy you must have efficency.
