A definite threat was handed
the fourth estate of the Tar-
Mags yesterday when the crook
ed Yackety-Bucs went the bet
ter team one better by sub-sub
sidizing Pete "Poison" Ivey, ter
rible end.
Ivey, according to the Tar
Mag bram trusters, was first
subsidized by the Yackety-Bucs,
but, as turn about is fair play,
the scribes bought him back,
Yesterday's developments will
probably be conclusive according
to Claude "Rank" Rankin, annual
half-wit.
Unwanted
"We didn't' want him anyway "
said co-generals Bob "Front"
Page and Phil "Tack" Hammer.
"Neither do we," it was rumored
echoed from .the practice field.
Another purchase was also an
nounced yesterday by Rankin.
"We have just closed the deal
with Alex "All-America" And
rews who was stellar backfield
man for the "Lying Lawyers."
Jake "Bump" Snyder will
prove utterly useless in the line
for the Yackety-Bucs. He was
included in the law school deal
of yesterday, according to Mr.
Rank. Jack "High" Lowe, of last
year's annual staff, has signed
contract to play full-back."
This completes a full house," said
Coach Bill "Huhky" "'Anderson.
"Despite the unorthodox, dis
honest carryings on of the Yack
ety-Bucs, our team will be the
acme of honest and integrity.
Our motto: 'Don't pay for the
best,' " misquoted Tar-Mag
Page.

troduced at the Pi Phi pledge
dance in the Carolina Inn this

A late news flash from the
special meeting of the campus
peace committee which con
vened last night at a last min
ute call from chairman Bob
Russell revealed that Joe Bar
nett, was elected student rep
resentative to go to Washing
ton, November 11, and join

ca meeting with various na
tional officials to express to
them student views on the
prevention of war. Mac Smith
was elected as an alternate
delegate.
At 10:15 this morning all
classes will end for a full hour
period to make way for the
mighty student mobilization in
the cause of oeace -a mass-
meeting in Memorial hall pre
sided over by Jack Pool, presi
dent of the student body and ad
dressed by two students, Bill
Carter and Harper Barnes.
The assembly will be opened
by a two minute period of silence
in memory , of the men who were
killed in the World War. Bill
Carter, graduate student who
holds -a fellowship - in social re
search here, will be the princi
pal speaker. After his gradua
tion from Harvard in 1931, Car
ter was connected for two years
with the League of Nations in
Geneva where he studied inter
national relations.
Carter to Speak
Carter will speak on "Citizen
ship and the War System." He
stated that he will not offer solu
tions to the problem of war, due
to the limited time, but will con
fine himself to presenting the
problem and its dangers to the
student, who, tucked away in
quiet, peaceful college environ
ment, may find himself sudden

CAMPUS KEYBOARD
rrhe volumes that have been
written on war and peace leave
little for us, mere youths, to say
about the matter. But an uncon
trollable urge to add our juve
nile views impels a somewhat
different sort of viewpoint on
this day of protest against war.
Por the thinking youth, there
has never been written a more
gripping, a more realistic pre
sentation than that of William
Lyon Phelps several years ago.
"Christ or Caesar?" asks . Dr.!
Phelps, and in those three -interrogative
words youth finds the
real essence of his problem to
day. Whether we live by our con
sciences, whether we will strive
as Christians to a better . life,
whether we will always keep in
mind our goal of happiness
which only peace can bring
those are youth's questions.
When politicians and moneyed
interests and despotic dictators
throw their tremendous and in
sidious forces in an effort to
make nations fight for the dollar
or for silly ideals or for lying
catch-words, youth must never
fail to put ahead of - all the
Christian motto, the Christian
method, before the coarse and
destructive ideal of nationalism.
Never must we lose sight of
the reason for our coming Ar
mistice Day memorial services.
It is not to commemorate the
glories of the bloody and raven
ous destruction, it is not to eu
logize the noble statesmen who
slashed us into armed conflict.
No, it is to pay our respects to
the poor tricked , humans who
sacrificed their lives that un
christian men might put to
test their tenets that man is
greater than his Creator.
We do not know whether we
will be able to repel the patrio
tic" spirit of war times or not.
The choice between 10 years in
prison for "un-patriotic" pro
test against war and fighting
for the "glory of our nation" is
a difficult one to make. Our
only prayer is that America will
educate its people to the Chris
tion conception that peace on
earth should be the most prec-"
ious dictate of our collective and
individual conscience. P. G. H.
