The Student Looks At War Up to now the citizens of the United States have been making money on the European wars and on the Sino-Japanese conflict, but now the oriental situation is beginning to interfere with the trade relations of Japan and the United States and of China and the United SUtes. So American citizens are beginning to put up a squawk that something should be done about the situation as it is interfering with their commercial ^lations. As long as a market was offered fur scrap iron and other war materials there was very little complaint, but the de- •truction of their property, after they have been warned to salvage what they can and to get out, puts the affair in a different light al together. The supplies of raw •ilk, which have been coming from these two countriei, begin to look as if they will soon be stop ped if the boycott on Japanese imports becomes effective. The United States became in- -volved in one war to make the world safe for democracy, and we have not yet recovered fully from that war. If we are plunged into another nonw, we will per haps never recover from it. Dur ing the World War, billions of dol lar* were loaned to other nations by the American Government, and as yet only one country, Finland, hat paid up its war debt to our governmeni. It is said that the allied powers won that war, but we lost in that our government was left holding the bag, and thousands of American soldiers are lying buried in France today ae a result of “the war to end all wars and to make the world safe ioT democracy”. The last war was caused by propaganda which was put out in many cases by munitions manu facturers who make their money M dealers in death and destruc tion. Much of that same propa ganda is being put into American newipapers today for the same purpose, and the American public would in spadms of patriotic fer vor send its cream of American manhood out to die in a foreign country, while fighting somebody else's war. The many thousands of young men who are now in colleges and universities through out the nation would be put into uniform and sent out to become targets for the machine gunners to practice on. The average col lege student, the potential soldier of tomorrow, does not entirely realize what is going on, and few ■tther people do, but when some other countries’ dispute begins to prepare us for permanent resi dence in skull orchards in a for eign country, it is time to wake op and do something about it. WHY COLLEGE, ANYHOW? I do not pretend to be an edu cational authority. I do not as sume a kn wledge of the inner workings of educational admin istrative forces. I am but one oi many sheep masquerading un der the name of “college students” who are herded into class at cer tain hours, turned out to fleetinjj freedom a few units of time, an'l thrust into darkness on the dot of eleven o’clock. 1 believe that I am a normal in dividual, unafraid of responsibili ty, and quite capable of giving myself enough sleep, enough study, and not too much recrea tion. I derive much pleasure and a sufficient amount of knowledge from my classes. I receive good grades. But why is it “the thing" to go to college? Why it is that certain large industries of the United States will hire only those who are possessed of a frail diplo ma signifying four years of rou tine classes of doubtful value? If an individual has specialized, if he is excellently lilted in a speci fied field, why is it necessary for him to have acquired an A. B. for him to receive the opportunity to use his training? I can very readily understand the necessity of thorough training in the field of teaching, but why is it so es sential in certain fields of busi ness? Can not a girl be of suf ficient mentality, innate poise, and common sense to be successful in a secretarial position without having spent four years in a group of ultra-sophisticated girls, or in a school of football ruffians and admiring co-eds? What of this dubious admoni tion that only college graduates can secure jobs? What of the university men working as office boys in New York’s lofty offices? Would it not have been better for them to have devoted their whole time to a special subject in which they are much interested, and in which they have definite apti tudes? A well-'ixiunded college curriculum, you may say, leads to a wealth of conversational ma terial. Does one make a living on conversation? Is there some adjustment that I have failed to make? But why college, anyhow? The fairer sex should rise and give Eudora Ramsay Richardson a healthy cheer for her article in October’s Forum entitled Intel ligent Husbands Wanted”. It seems to be a milestone in female thought. I found the article in the library and immediately showed it to a boy at the next table. Bah! there’s na su.h thing as an in telligent husband; intelligent me' don’t marry”. Not saying wheth er I grant this cynical soul his point or not, I still recommend the article as interesting reading. She says: “Men have wasted a deal of breath, paper, and ink describing the ideal woman. So it happens that women, trying valiantly to become ideals, have neglected the important task of being them selves. As a matter of fact, men haven’t really known what they wanted. So women have been put to much trouble to no good pur pose.” Below is a list of nicknames of students on the campfis: 1. Who is “Clabberhead”? 2. Who is “Rattlebrain”? 3. Who is “Porky”? 4. Who is "Batiste”? 5. Who is “Windy”? 6. Who is “Stooge”? is 7. Who is called “Morning, Noon, and Night”? 8. Who is “Ice-Water”? 9. Who is “Bunker”? 10. Who is “Squatty”? (Answers on Page Four) ANSWERS TO LAST ISSUE'S KAMPUS KWIZ I As A Knave Sees It I I wish every student would look at the pictures and cartoons in this month’s issue of Current History—after you have read “Lil Abner” and “Popeye”, of course. I hope the more ambitious of you will read the titles. They reek with war. It seems useless even to attempt to shift our eyes in our usual tactful American way. The generation before us let someone else look for them in 1916. They proved they were fno different than all men before them. They too accepted the knowledge of the supernatural few as their own, and called themselves progres sive, while refusing to recognize the worn bait thrown them. Will we continue to turn our backs upon the Far East and drop our eyes? We can’t look across the Atlantic and fail to see Europe’s six-year-olds drilling in the sun. It’s nothing new; the Spartans did it. If it’s true that we are looking only for something new then another war would change the figures in the war debt. Would some kind soul kindly hand me a good substantial soap box? Thanks! I hope the young pup on the campus which has been christened “Peah^fld” appreciates the Uto pian settlement it has suddenly stumbled upon. Someone accepts the responsibility of feeding hiin every day. I don’t think any >ne person has fed him twice. That’s the Christian spirit for you. 1. Dr. Rhine, of Duke Univer sity. 2.

COUNCIL AND SENATE ANNOUNCE LIBRARY RULE At a recent meeting of the com bined Senate and Council, it was decided that these two governing ^>rganizations should take the re sponsibility of keeping order in the library. The Student Body has been warned of the intentions of the Senate and Council, and in prder to make the rule of quiet ^n the library completely effec tive, a fine of 25c has been and ,will be imposed upon those who fail to abide by the regulation.
