Self-Satisfaction We are often prone to regard ourselves as being pretty nice peo ple when we go to all the meet ings we are scheduled to go to and attend our regular classes, and every now and then contribute a bright (?) idea to discussion in class. As long as we are going along on this level we feel we are doing all right. Maybe we even hold an office in our class; now we are getting some place we tell ourselves. We pat ourselves on the back, mentally, whenever someone speaks of the leaders on campus, and maybe we even pic ture ourselves as such. And so it goes in the minds of many of us. But suddenly we are knocked out of our complacent little hole by such world shaking events as the atomic bomb, the conference of State Department leaders in Lon don; and here at home the coal miners’ strikes, the dispute be tween capital and labor, racial dis putes, and so on down the list. And what do those events have to do with us as college students? Just this, we are vitally affected by the things which happen in our country and in our world. If we are not now affected we will be, and it is our responsibility and obligation to get out of a rut and find out what is going on in the world—not only so we will be able to discuss events intelli gently. but also so we can help mend the broken lives of people which have been wrecked by the war. What kind of a school, what kind of a town, what kind of a community, what kind of a world do we want to live in? We will make it what it is by our interest and participation in its affairs. But how about a new perspective of life; one in which you consider the other person’s point of view— the laborer, the negro, the under privileged,. the displaced persons, the conquered peoples, returning veterans of all races, our parents. All these are citizens of our world and their lives are intertwined With ours by a common concern for the affairs of men. How about it students? Do we want to be world citizens? — BETTY MOR ROW. Invest in Victory Bonds Compliments of A Friend National Poetry Anthology Contest November 5th has been an nounced by the National Poetry Association as the closing date for the submission of manuscripts for the Annual Anthology of College Poetry. Dennis Hartman, Secretary of the Association, writes of the pub lication, “There are no charges of fees for the inclusion of verse in the Anthology. 'The recognition afforded by publication will reflect definite credit, as well as afford satisfaction to students who see their work in iprint. We wish to 3timulate creative writing, and to promote original thought.” Because space is limited the judges give more favorable consideration to shorter poems. Details of the submission of manuscripts can be secured from Professor McCutchan, head of the Department of English. Mr. Mc Cutchan has expressed the hope that several students will be in terested, especially those who have had experience on The Quill. According to Mr. McCutchan there is nothing in the rules of the Association which precludes the submission of work already published in college magazines or papers. Copyrighted material would not, however, be eligible. 36 Investments In Peace There are a lot of investments you can make these days—some pay off in money—while others reap large profits in human wel fare. So why not choose the lat ter for a change, and put your dollars in the WAR AND COM MUNITY CHEST Campaign which is beginning now. The following is an excerpt from a bulletin recently put out for the Chest’s annual campaign. Watch your bulletin board for more information to see why your money is so urgently needed, and why it is your duty to contribute your share. “THE WAR IS OVER” Civilian restrictions are being lifted daily, but to millions of our boys who have won the greatest victory of all time the sound of the bugle is very real, as they wait for weeks and months for an opportunity to come home. The war is still very real to thousands in hospital wards, and we must remember those who are assigned to the large occupational forces in Europe and Japan. To them, home is still far away. You can only reach out to these boys through the U. S. O., a War Chest agency. ’The Army and Navy have requested that the rr Rats" Convicted By '48'ers There have been dedications the world over, but never one to compare with the one that has just taken place on Queens cam pus. The homage paid to Mickey and Minnie Mouse by the juvenile class of ’49 far surpassed any thing this campus has ever seen or hopes to see. Attractively clad a ’la Mickey and Minnie Mouse, the freshmen scampered around the campus in hordes trying their best to steer clear of the Sophomores whose minds were filled with devil ish plans for the lowly fresh men. Many sophomores took advan tage of this opportunity that “knocks but once a year” and their clothes were scrubbed lily white by the freshmen who ac companied their drudgery with their stirring rendition of “Boogie Woogie Washer Woman.” The close of day found the freshmen occupying their regu lar chapel section, but the faces of the Chapel Choir had changed to those of the Sophomore class and the blue robes of the singers had changed to the black of a very determined jury. One by one the defendants were called forth and in spite of the desperate efforts of the defense, the cringing crim inals were made to pay in full. As the court was adjourned the tired but relieved rats made their way back to their halls. As the moon rose in the inky sky a squeaky rendition of “Praise ’48” wafted over the campus — the Freshman Class was at p>eace.— ELEANOR BATES. budget of this agency be increased to help solve the morale prob lems which will arise under such conditions. Hundreds of our victorious men and women are returning to our community daily. You cannot wel come each of them nor assist them in their readjustment to civilian life, but your support of the Veterans’ Information Center through the War and Community Chest, will provide every oppor tunity for these men and women who have served their country so well. The liberation of the Philippines and other occupied countries throughout the world have revealed a story of disease, starvation and destitution never before experi enced. We cannot feed the whole world, but we must send the maxi mum assistance to these people, or the peace for which thousands of our boys have died will have been in vain.

AGNES “BIG SISTER” My dear Miss Tillett, how do you do— I’m Lillian DeArmon, a student for you. I must confess, to begin this tale— This subject, English, I’ll probably fail. You see. Miss Tillett, it’s just this way, I’m just plain dumb, to my dismay. Such all started eighteen years ago. The tale I relate to you just so: On August sixteenth, the year, ’27 I appeared as a bundle from heaven. My Pop and Mom were then very happy. Little did they know I’d turn out sappy. Thus the years passed and I went to school But like in the song, I was “dumb as a mule.” Twelve long, hard years with books I spent. Yet to catch on to what’er they :meant. But the teachers all tried with patience kind. Finally I graduated and all was fine. But then it happened to occur to me That someday in life I’d need a degree. A higher education and what it means Is just the reason I came to Queens. So here I am, a problem for you— My dear Miss Tillett, how do you do.
