COLLEGE EDITOR
OFFERS WAY TO
AID UNEMPLOYED
Black Suggests Tat College Student
Contribute One Penny With
Every Meal.
By College News Service
New Orleans, March 23. A
comprehensive program where
by college students may cooper
ate in giving unemployment re
lief this week was proposed by
Temple Houston Black, editor of
The Maroon at Loyola Univer
sity of the South.,
He announced that he would
immediately communicate with
other college and university pub
lications throughout the coun
try, setting forth the following
plan:
"That in every cafeteria (or
lunch room) in every university
of the country there be x placed
on the cashier's desk a 'mite box
in which each student will be
asked to contribute one cent for
each meal he or she eats in the
lunchroom. The returns that
are garnered in this way are to
be turned over to the local wel
fare committee in the city in
which the university (or college)
is located, and the money will be
distributed by this organiza
tion."
Editor Black said he was in
spired to urge this program as a
reply to charges that college stu
dents do not think and do not
concern themselves with other
than purely campus problems
The response which greets The
Maroon's plan, he believes, will
be the answer to these charges.
Columbia Graduate

Paper In Braille
Bernard Krebs, 20-year-old
New York university journalism
student, who has been sightless

to publish a daily paper after
graduating from school. The pa

current news of the world.
' Provided Krebs' plans ma
terialize, the plant is to be lo
cated at some central city, such
as Chicago or St. Louis, to facil
itate rapid mailing to the sub
scribers. Should the paper be
subsidized, subscriptions are to
be free.
Special articles of interest to
the blind and current events
would comprise the major por
tion of the newspaper's contents.

D.A.R. DENOUNCES
KIliPATRICK for
ANTI-WAR TALK
President Butler Accused of Harbor
ing Professor of "Un-American
And Dangerous Teaching.
By College News Service
New York, March 23. Edi
torial commentators this week
probably would suggest that
President Nicholas Murray But
ler of Columbia university was
between the devil and the well
known deep sea were they not
fearful of libelling the parties
thus personified.
The first salvo was fired with
machine-gun vengeance by the
Daughters of the American Rev
olution, represented by Mrs.
Evaline W. Northrop, a member
of the Committee on National
Defense. She accused President
Butler of harboring a faculty
member responsible for "un
American and dangerous teach
ing." Militarism Denounced
She was referring to Profes
sor William H. Kilpatrick of the
Columbia university Teachers
college, who in a recent address
described D. A. R. members
as "professional . patriots," de
nounced military training in
schools as "morally vicious," and
assailed the custom of saluting
the flag as a subtle means1 of
keeping the war instinct alive.
To Mrs. Northrops' protest,
which set forth that "such doc
trines as these must give great
joy to the ever-active Commun
ist citizens of this country,"
President Butler replied :
"I invite your attention to the
fact that a university is the
carefully protected home of free
dom of thought and freedom of
speech, that its object is to seek
and proclaim the truth as a
scholar may find it, subject only
to the limitations set by good
manners and by good morals.
Professor Kilpatrick is an Amer
ican gentleman and scholar of
high standing and deservedly
wide influence. His associates
in the University take pride in
his service and his reputation."
Hardly was this stinging re
buke off the typewriter than a
new explosion rent the academ
ic atmosphere.
Butler Called Fascist
"Nicholas Murray Butler, the
president of this university a
liberal so-called, a progressive
is a Fascist by nature. His pur
pose is to establish a Fascist
dictatorship in this country. . . ."
Thus spoke page Mrs. Nor
throp quick ! Israel Amter,
New York Communist organiz
er, before the Social Problems
club at the university.
President Butler did not re
ply to Amter.
Meanwhile, the editorialists
re-surveyed the battle ground
and decided that the famous
Columbia prexy hadn't been "put
on the spot,"; after all. He was
simply the innocent bystander
who got shot.

general elections shall fall, un
til the date is changed in future
years, on the third Wednesday
after spring holidays unless un
forseen circumstances require
a change. Any such change

THREE STUDENTS
INJURED IN FEUD
OVER KIDNAPING
Reprisal of Kidnaping Missouri
Co-ed May End
Death for One.
in
Three engineering students of
the University of Missouri were
injured yesterday when shot by
a fellow student who had helped
"abduct" a Missouri co-ed. The
feud was the bloody culmina
tion of a rivalry of long stand
ing between the schools of law
and engineering, a rivalry that
developed from innocent pranks
to pistol play.
Frank Luckey of Columbia
was' in a critical condition from
a bullet wound -in the stomach.
Burnis Frederick of Union Star,
whoadmitted he fired the shots,
also was taken to a hospital suf
fering a possible fracture of the
skull, inflicted, he said, by a
group of students who attacked
him near the campus just before
the shooting.
Last Saturday afternoon Miss
Mary Butterfield of Kansas City
who was to have been crowned
St. Pat's queen at the engineer-'
ing school's dance, was "kid
naped" as she was leaving her
sorority house and was held cap
tive until almost midnight, when
she was returned to the campus .
too late for her coronation as
queen.
