Most every system of education
provides for extra-curricular ac
tivities. Those activities are pur
posed for the student who is in- I
tercsted in doing more, whether
that which he does is worthy or
not. These outlets are designed to
promote leadership, co-operation,
a sense of judgment toward other
people, and, we suppose, a demo
cratic spirit. Wether or not these
purposes are filled is incidental in
this day of reverberations.
Forced hy the old adages, "if
the shoe fits wear if or "be con
structive rather than destructive,"
then, we will say that student
politics are a pood thing. We will
say that they promote leadership,
Co-operation, a sense of iudpnicnl
toward other people, and a demo
cratic spirit.
Since we Corn Cobbed all day
yesterday, let us continue in
this light today. Let's inject
politics into the Corn Cobs, more
than they have at the present
time. The time is right for the
Corn Cobs to reorganize to re
organize differently than they
have during the past few years.
The present state of the Corn
Cob 's not ihe fault of any one
individual in that organization
at the present time. The Cobs
have been tiescrepit on this cam
pus for several years.
Poltirs the Alternative.
If anyone is to be int crest od in
Corn Cobs, then, there must be
politics. Kvcn the junior-Senior

sity convocation."
I made that statement this
morning when I thought of pre
vious trips down to the coliseum
in an attempt to get some good
out of the time for which classes
were dismissed. Then I read the
"rag"' and the periodical gripe
passed along by the Campus Can
dor Column this time, about stu
dents who do not go to convoca
tion, had its desired effect, and I
determined to go and try again to
get something out of it.
I have gona to my last univer
sity convocation.
I repeated that statement em
phatically when I returned home
this morning, cold, wet, and dis
gusted; defeated again by the
atrocious speaking system in the
coliseum. Those who stayed at
home and listened to the speech
by radio, tell me that it was very
good, but from the few words 1
caught from my perch on the edge
of a hard folding chair, I couldn't
tell.

He's a Man Hitler!
And now Austria contracts the
nazi infection. Central Kurope
becomes the focal center for what
F.ngland and France view as one
of the most virulent forms of po
litical diseases. Hitler seems thus
to have put over his proMsition
at his recent Vienna parley. At
any rale. Chancellor Schusehnigg
is admitting nazists to the Aus
trian parliament and more than
2,000 nazi prisoners are liberated.
France and Great Britain are
not going to do anything about it,
however. They are just now re
lieved to have signs of peace be
tween the two countries who
rather hold Kurope's fate in the
balance. Italy hails the move us
a strengthening of the Rome-Berlin
axis. Hitler has guaranteed
Austria's independence, but the
opening dodge has been made, and,
all in all der fuehrer has plaited
himself in a pretty fair position
