the general problem of aid to Brit

By Marjorie Brunlng.
A former manaeitifr editor of
the DAILY kept an appointment
in our offices yesterday. He has
kept appointments in government
headquarters an over Europe, on
the scenes of today's greatest
drama, world war u, at timer s
invasion into the Low Countries
and France. He is Will McGaffin,
foreign correspondent for the As
sociated Press.
Sneakine- auietlv and sincerely,
McGaffin answered with emphasis
the question of the day, "Should
America send an aid snore or war
tn England?" His answer was the
same as the conclusion reached
by the student panel discussion
on the same problem Friday. "1
can't over-emphasize," he said,
"the importance of sending aid to
Britain. Britain neither needs nor
wants man power as they already
have two million men with noth
ing to do but eat because they
have no equipment for activity.
All that was destroyed at Dun
kirk. What they need now is
pmiinmAnt and thev need it
i i' -
badly."
Just back from England.
McGaffin has lust returned
from England and believes that
the war thev are nzntine is as
much ours as theirs. "We're next
on Hitler's list," he declared. "If
Britain falls, and she won t if she
gets immediate help, the next
point of attack will be North
America, with South American
bases as the logical point from
which the attack win begin.
"Of course," he continued, "it

Daily writer reveals how he
passed a final examination
By Bob Aldrich
Bv popular demand from the
editor -I have decided to let down
my hair (no easy job, by the way)
and tell how I once passed a final
exam. This should be an inspiring
lesson to all little boys who want
to be president some day, though
Just which way it is going to in
spire them, I don't know.
An article In the Indiana Daily
Student professes to tell "How to
Study for Finals.'' Combining (a
nice word for stealing) this article
In my treatise, 1 am about to tell
all on this fascinating subject. So
pull up a chair, find a good pic
ture magazine " to look at, and
we'll let nature take Its course
and I wish nature was taking a
couple of mine.
Where to study
First the article says ; "Study
In a room relatively free from .vis
ual distraction." Now in the first
place, there has never been any
thing in my room worth looking
at except my roommate's girl's
picture and that is distracting
only In the sense that it mak
me wish he would get another
girl.
Secondly it "ys. "Be comfort
able hut avoid becoming too com
fortable." Now, I ask you, how
can anyone be comfortable with
out being too comfortable for
studying? The only answer Is to
get one of those Indian fakir bed
with a lot of nails in It. I don't
say I recommend it. I Just say
it's the only answer. After all,
you've got to figure out some of
this yourself.
How to review
Thirdly, it says "Review the
main points and avoid memoris
ing details.'' Obviously the guy
who wrote this never studied un
der .any of my profs. None of my
profs give two-bKs-ln-hell far a
