Taking advantage of the few re maining hours in which what we say still goes, we've re-run the files, picked out a handfull of representa tive Quips, from over a hundred such columns, and sent 'em down to go through once more.) Mad Monk One history student, according to Dean Bradshaw, thought that the an cient city of Pompeii was buried un der an overflow of saliva from the Vatican. Conscientious English Prof George McKie was taking up Shakespeare in Sophomore English. He leaned over his desk to Sigma Nu John Ramsay. "Mr. Ramsay, you've probably read much of Shakespeare before now. Have you read Romeo and Juliet?" "Yes, Sir," came Soph Ramsay. "I've read both of them." Infinitely Crooked The meanest man we ever knew built a crooked fence for his pigs. In fact he built such a crooked fence that a pig, crawling completely through, always came out on the same side from which he started. THE PLACE OF THE TAR HEEL T f,w:.

By some strange chance the Con federate soldier got hold of a copy of Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables" in the original French. One prisoner had just settled down to translating the heavy volume when up to him fast dashed his Yankee guard, bayonet in action. To shreds he tore the French book, cursing. He stalked off fiercely. "Some, more of - that damn Confed erate code." teaches her English in record times, listens to her sing such distinctively unnative songs as "Coffee and Kisses for Two," and eventually settles down to a happy life in the jungle with Dorothy. Throughout the film there are traces of the usually fine directing of George Archainbaud, and creditable support by the featured players. But we doubt if the author ever lived in a jungle and if he did he should have stayed there. However the bill is strengthened by the latest episode of "The March of Time." The current film deals with Hitler's Austrian campaign (Nazi Conquest) and with national penal conditions (Crime and Prisons). The most notable advance in the human izing and critical interpretation of news, "The March Of Time" should not be missed. "Women Are Like That" (Tues.) is the latest Kay Francis production. Miss Francis, although still addicted to dropping her r's in confusing ar ray, is sophisticated and charming as usual. Pat O'Brien, and the rest of the supporting cast, are adequate. Al though the story is not up to the usual standard of those which these two stars have been given to work with, their admirers will find ample satisfac tion in their performances. Miss Francis is begowned in a number of Orry-Kelly creations, which should please the ladies. The eternally gracious Irene Dunne returns to the local screen on Wed nesday and Thursday in the comedy piece "Joy Of Living:." Aided and abetted by four new Jerome Kern songs which Miss Dunne renders in near perfect style, the film is a plea sant light entertainment.

We were supposed : be protecting the economic liberty of our co zens then too.- The foreign policies adopted by the presidert are supposed to protect the majority, rather than the minority investors in foreign capital. Do you think that such policies which require th sending of American war ships into foreign waters to act as convoys is for your benefit Do you thir.& that we could narrow on the president's state ment by attempting to eliminate the military im plications for American investments abroad? Answers the Effect On the problem Mr. H. Comer, secretary of the Y.M.C.A., said: "Your question involves one of the basic policies of our government. In the past wTe have protected our foreign investments with military backing. The recent reciprocal trade agreement is the most concrete step in the direction of substituting reason for force. If oiir citizens who travel or invest in foreign countries did so realizing that they do so in accordance with the rules of that country, much of our trou ble would be dispensed with. If that attitude U ever adopted, we will get away from our old policy of following citizens whether they are in the right or wrong." Miss Rachel McLean, newly elected vice-president of the Y.W.C.A., said: 'America definitely should not protect her foreign investments abroad. In times of crises, I think American investments should be sold out to the foreign government. In any event, the American government should not be responsible for privately owned concerns. I would recommend legislation to this effect." Sanford Stein, Buccaneer verse editor, said: "I believe that Congress should pass legislation which will definitely let business men know that they are carrying on trade in belligerent nations at their own risk. For example, the American government will not be responsible for any ships bearing cargo to countries at war that happen to get themselves blown up. I realize this solution is very unoriginal, but, frankly, it's the only one I can think of." Stupendous The YMCA's tattered and torn bulletin board once a few years ago held this short announcement, neatly typed on white paper: Eskimo Spitz Pups But between this caption and the address of the kennels, some smart alec had scribbled: "Admission 10 cents." Immediate Reply Which discussion of newspapers brings up a matter which Battle's Ed die Kahn has taken great pride in ex plaining to the campus. It seems that one day last week the Charlotte Ob server ran the streamer: HITLER CALLS ON GOD FOR HELP. In the headline drop the paper con tinued something like this: VOTE.

This desire of the people for peace is earnest and sincere. But the wish alone, how ever sincere, is not enough. If peace is to be at tained there must be a positive program of action on which all the people can be united. The ques tion of peace, no longer confined to college de bating societies, has became a question of imme diate, practical concern. We of the American Stu dent Union, along with other progressive student, labor, and professional groups, present as our an swer to the question of peace a positive peace policy based on collective action of the peace-loving countries against those who are destroying peace, the fascist aggressors. Any realistic approach to the peace problem to day demands a recognition of the difference be tween the aggressors in war and the victims of aggression. The German and Italian invasion of Spain and the Japanese invasion of China can no longer be ignored. Since the Japanese appropria tion of Manchuria there has been a long string of fascist aggressions and conquests. Only a fe weeks ago we witnessed the Nazi seizure of Aus tria. It has by now become plain to all that a Policy of yielding and of concessions has not averted war but merely given the war-makers & opportunity to extend the area of their warfare. To prevent the further spread of war and to stop the wars now in progress we must stop those who are making war and spreading war. It is not necessary to resort to military force for this. K is only necessary to give aid to those who are already combatting the fascists and to stop ail aid, direct and indirect, that the fascists are no receiving. The Spanish and Chinese people are fighting our battle. If there was ever any doubt about this, it has been dispelled by the establish ment of fascism in Brazil and the spread of it to other South American and Central American (Continued on lak page)
