Students Over Nation in the

"Reds” or “Pillars of De
fense”
The International Student Serv
ice, with 200 college leaders in at-
tendattce, met on the campus ot the
New Jersey College tor Women at
New Brunswick and discussed
‘^How Students Can Serve Oemoc-
racy.’’ The group Is admittedly
socialist, IsolationlBt and pacifist
as welt as liberal." This group
did no "demanding" or “denounc
ing” ot its government, but sought
methods by which it could serve.
Attending, also, were 150 delegates
ot the National Student Federa
tion. which is considering sever
ing its connection with the red-
tinged American Youth Congress.
The group. In general, favored aid
to Britain, and in many of its
stands was opposed to those taken
by the ASU.
However, at Annapolis the stu
dents were sad. The Navy pro
gram gave them only a day extra
for their vacation instead ot Ihe
usual two weeks.
Con/es.tlOTis of a J/ozI Student—
Admitting that he was "a good
Nazi" and that he believed that
“right makes might," Karl Schmir-
ing. a Denver University student,
received an order from tbe Depart
ment ot Justice expelling him trom
the United States. It was reported
tliat he was so advanced In his
studies that his professors could
not teach him anything. This slx-
toot-two, 18-year-old youth was ac
cused ot trying to organize a Hit
ler Youth Movement In this coun
try.
A ifatler of Theory—Three years
ago Sturge Stetnert, 21, wrote an
essay on the "Rights and Duties
ot Citizens Under the Constitution
of the United States." With it he
won a scholarship to Temple Uni-
vei-sity. He tailed to register for
tile draft and has been indicted.
His scholarship was cancelled.
Hojo to Get a Library Five
Waived—A fine of $730 on an over
due book, “Aucassln and Nlcolette,"
was waived l>y the Univei-sity ot
Texas library tor It was glad to
get back the fitty-cent copy of this
book after forty years ot waiting.
Students and Defenne—In sixty
live engineering institutions a pro
gram designed to give Intensive
training to youths as defense in
dustry technicians is being started
by the Government immedlatoly,
with a 89,000,000 appropriation to
linance the enrollmeiit ot about
25,000 students in 260 courses. . . .
The students will have tlielr tui
tion paid and will be drawn trom
the ranks ot tiie unemployed, hut
must show some evidence of pre
vious technical training. At Penn
State College S.OOO workers will he
trained in special night classes to
furnish ti’alned engineering special
Ists in defense industries. . . .
Thirty-four educators and reaearcii
scientists reqtiested President
Roosevelt to declare a state oE
emergency and the enactment ot
legislation that “will be equivalent
to full Industrial, military and
naval mobilization." Moat ot the
tramers of this statement wei’e
members ot the Princeton faculty.
They expressed tear that many
Americans do not really know how
grave Ihe situation is and have
shown too much over-confldence in
our defense pi'ogram.
College lleadllnes—Dr. Fredei ick
R. ICeppei. president of the Car
negie Corporation ot New York,
declared that there were tar too
many universities in this country,
and he predicted that many ot
them would disappear because the
country cannot afford them. . . .
Dr. Raymond Walters, president of
the University ot Cincinnati, re
ported that freshmen had dropped
lu the colleges of our nation l>e-
cauae of a declining birth rate and
rustricted immigration. There was
a 1,5 per cent drop In tiie liberal
arta: S.-i per cent in agriculture,
and 7.4 per cent In teachers' col-
legea. Eurollments, as a whole,
however, have increaaed by about
2,S00.
If you go to the -Virginia Union
campus you might be surprised to
see u part of the World's Fair
there. Tho major portion ot the
$700,000 Relglan Pavilion at the
Now York World's Fair has been
given to the University and will
lie reassembled on tiie campus to

SPORT SCOOPS
The start of this semester Is
really like a new year to us as stu
dents. We all tackle U with re
newed determination to make a
better showing than ever; we
create mental schedules and pic
tures of ourselves doing better In
all ways. We have to be right on
our toes, so we plan to get up tor
breakfast, eat all meals, study reg
ularly. and sleep enough to keep
us alive and interested in every
thing tliat'a going on. Physical
health being so necessary to a well-
rounded college life, let’s keep
these simple “rules" which we lay
down for ourselves—they’ll help us
keep the other resolutions. Exer
cise ought to be part of the daily
schedule. We all recognize thia,
but too tew ot us carry out this
part. There are horse shoes, arch
ery, and badminton fit your dis
posal at this Immediate time. Ot
course, there Is the oldest and
most satisfactory exercise ot all
times—walking In good, clean,
fresh air. There Is nothing milder,
nor yet ((ulte so much “the pause
that refreshes.” Pause for halt an
iioui' a day and walk. The results
will surprise and please you.
Now, if you are intereated in
our special sports, which give us
a little more than the needed "daily
exercise," basketball ought to be
near the top place In your extra
curricular activities. Evidently,
there are many who are very In
terested. according to Nancy Cal
loway's records. I heard iuite a
i>it about the pi'ogresa of the Fresh
men. so I went over to view llie
Sophomore set-up. It really looks
good! The Juniors, the next night,
spent their time going through the
much-needed routine practice. The
games promise to be among the
best we've ever had. Incidentally,
liei'e’s a little story that might be
ot Interest. Tbe Senior team at
tbe time when this year’s seniors
were freshmen, had been cham
pions tor three years. Freshmen,
does history repeat itself? Well,
we shall see. as the Juniors have
had an eye on that championship,
and the Sopliomores are not merely
“looking on," the games will prob
ably start within a week. (Here
we pause to make note that it you
ahould ever want anything at
tached to the ceiling call on the
basketball manager. Her ability
to scale the gymmisium wall la
truly astonishing!)
The A, A. Board is asking, again
about the prospecta ot an inter
class volleyball tournament. The
board thinks It’s a really good
Idea, and many have spoken about
it. What do more ot you think
about it? You know, this would
help the “odd and even" competi
tion. it's getting quite close, and
evei-y little point counts!
Before closing the sports news,
hero's a reminder about tbe com
ing and very aoon, too—crooking
activities. Get a lot of sleep now—
you'll need it!
