February 28, 1942. Number 10. “Youth Marches” Today youth marches in all parts of the world—youth inarches out into the night, into the unknown to wage a harsh and merciless duel with aggression, tyranny, and death. From the farm they tramp with young determined feet, from the cities from the mountainside and valleys come the youth of America' come the youth of the world to strike their blow for what they believe is right, for a cause they have lived for happily a cause that they will die for proudly. They come by ones and twos. One family yields up one son- two brotl^rs are the living sacrifices of another family for peace and freedom. More and more join until finally a great army has gathered to prepare for the terrific task before them a continual period of study and preparation must be undergone; work hard grueling labor, must be faced. Intricate machines are to be studied and manipulated .until they become the servants of the skillful soldiers who operate them. At last these young soldiers are ready to march. If they come back it will u/? ° world; if they do not come back their brothers will live in peace and freedom. Those who follow them will live freer; they will have gained by the sacrifices of the youth in arms. For almost two thousand years another army has been marching. Across the years comes the echo of determined, broTO feet, echoes that have spread around the world and freec. end souls of millions under the tyranny of sin. This week we have seen the young Christian soldiers pre paring for the onslaught against sin that is to follow. They are preparing now, but while they are preparing for that great task they have the privilege of attacking the aggressor right here at Mars Hill college. You have heard them talking to you this week; you have heard the message that has prompted them m the eternal war against sin. They need reenforcements. They shall have reenforcements I Nothing can halt the drive of on army such as this, an army consecrated, determined, brave, and above all, young and strong. Keep your eyes on them, they are the generals that will lead you to victory. They rmarchl Fall in step! Your weapons are within you. Youth has ;marched in the past; today—youth marches! —J.F.W. ,Much Ado About Nothing ; Are you a man or a beast? You resemble a modernistic .conception of college students in appearance, but your actions jdenote that you belong in a different category. Fellow students, jthat's we'uns to a tee. j What good will it do to push and shove before entering jthe dining hall? It is typical of starved animals. What is the ^use of ruining many dollars worth of shrubbery and actually J injuring part of the impatient herd by stampeding through the jbroken^ fence around Mrs. Shaw's rose garden? Many of the j plants in the garden itself have been ruined. Stop and consider, i Beautiful roses grow there in the spring. It is true that man does inot live by bread alone. You do not hoye to pretend he can't 'do without it three more minutes when the time to eat rolls •around. Are you afraid you won't get just the seat you wont? pif all of you would take it easy, you could get your regular :seat. Nearly everyone sits in the same place now anyway, rMother Johnson says that if every man would consider himself la delegation of one to see that his immediate neighbor does not Ipush, there would be no pushing. * Then there is the matter of grumbling over food. Transfer rstudents here this semester tell us we have better food here jthan is served at three different large universities represented tamong their number—and they're not cobbing anyone, j One more matter for the so-called rustics^-or whatever they lore called—If you don't hove a date, those who do have dotes [would appreciate it if you would not come around Edna Moore jereating so much disturbance. Gentlemen are never con- ■spicuous. You might make your presence on the campus felt lin a less bombastic manner and thereby enjoy some of the Tun yourself that you seem to envy others. P.S.—If any of these shoes fit you, wear them! —B. C. By East ■ It is true the early bird catches the worm; but what about the early worm? If we could keep our thoughts always as pure as when they see the earth covered in a blanket of snow we would be come civilized. It is more desirable to be the goat that leads the sheep than to be one of the sheep, if the goat leads them right. The motto of the modem girl, "Keep 'em sighing"; the motto of the modem wife, "keep 'em buying". A straight line is the smartest distance between two. Give some girls their cos metics and they are rambling camouflage units. It is much easier and much more satisfactory to work for something similar to that possessed by an acquaintance than continually to envy a friend because of that pos session. No one can read your mind, but your actions are pretty good manifestation of what is going on in your mind. It is not necessary to hate your enemy; rather, regret that he is not on your side. Each letter you write home is a reiteration of your appreci ation for your parents, unless you ore asking for another five dollars. In that case they may sometimes believe that you feel them indebted to yoy for the privilege of being your parents. i God does not hear your grammatical errors when you really pray. Why should you worry what the audience thinks? You're not praying to them. Two times two is fourteen in Germany if they decide it is the best answer for the party. Two hours a day keeps the delinquent list away. Girls’ Grooming Guide If spring has sprung And grass has rizz, • I wonder where the flowers Are you ready to be a flower of the spring? Of course it isn'. time to be talking about spring clothes just yet, but remember Pearl Harbor! "Keep 'em fly ing" is the key phrase now so economy must be the yard stick for our spring wardrobe. This generation must be con servative, and clothes certainly come first with us on that line of defense. But to stay in the front and not be shot down is another item. What I'm telling you now applies to year round; so put on your hot and wear it! You don't have to buy new clothes if you're smart. By care fully studying fashion maga zines everyone of you con find ways and means for making over last spring's wardrobe. Woe be unto you if you wear it without making it over though.

Get a new slant on living charm ingly, and others will see how much your personality has im proved over night. Study your campus heroine, and you'll gain a knowledge that will aid you in smoothing the rough edges of your "dressed-up" appearance. Summarizing: be in style, spotless, pressed and with your best dress forward. Next week we'll talk about "your SHE SNOO) TO CONQUI By Crackle Dear Folks: We still have snow—sev inches today, in fact.

Why is this? Is it because they do not know of the existence of our fine music library? Well, that is hardly possible. Then it must be that the students simply do not seem to find the time. There must be some hour or port of on hour during the day in which every student, no matter how heavy his course, could go to the music library and give the librarian his request. If you do not know what to ask for, there is a cord catalogue containing the names of hundreds of compositions that ore at your disposal. There ore some who over play^ certain records. That is all right, but why not increase your knowledge of one of the world's most essential arts while you have the oppor tunity?

Now Miss Buck gives us another picture of China— a picture of war and its effect | upon the everyday Chinese people. The characters in thel story have been carefully se lected and ore brought to the reader^ in a very real way. The story itself is interesting and | satisfying. The setting is in the home i of Ling Tan, a prosperous Chi nese farmer. With Ling Ton and his wife live two sons, Lao Ta and Lao Er who also hove wives.
