CATURDAY the Board of Regents reaffirmed Its previous stand In favor of compulsory military science on this campus. Regent Marsh, the only member of the board opposing the compulsory fea ture of drill, made his final protest In that meeting. His term expires this year. For several years rather loud but actually weak and Impotent protests have been made against com pulsory military drill on this campus, but actually nothing has ever been done about it. The problem has become a toy of sentimentalists and people with out hobbles. Others are regarding it seriously, with dignity, and are accumulating a background of knowledge with which to supplement action in the future. The former have never gone far enough to realize that the situation Is packed with dynamite and that participation In anti-military drill activi ties might some day result in personal misfortune. Pacifist clubs on numerous campuses of the United States have waged war on military science, in most cases expressing the desire to eliminate the compulstfy rule. Some of these organizations have achieved a fair degree of success, but most of them haven't Such clubs are inclined to point with pride at the University of Minnesota, where military drill was made optional last spring. Student pacifists, however, weren't responsible for the ruling. As matter of fact, the Farmer-Labor party of that state was responsible for the move which abolished com pulsory military training. That group got a ma jority in the Board of Regents, and then proceeded to act. Student pacifist clubs might take a lesson from the Minnesota developments, and methods Of at taining results. Those desiring reform acted thru already-established channels. Pacifist clubs exist in virtually every college and university of this country. There has been seeth ing and bubbling aplenty, but very little notlceablt accomplishment. . This campus saw the establishment a year ago of what was called a Peace Action committee. The organization of the group was particularly approp riate at the time because application had been made shortly before by the university for PWA funds with which a new armory would be erected. The funds for construction of such a structure were not granted, but the Peace committee was not respon sible for the refusal on the part of the Federal gov ernment. Faculty indignation and certain disagree ments In Washington accounted for the lack of suc cess in the application of the money. The main fault which accounted for eventual extinction of the 1933-1984 Student Peace Commit tee was the fact that publicity was the main aim of the group, while peace action was secondary in importance. Then too, the group took it upon Itself to start a county setup before a campus organization was out of its infancy. Any organizer will tell one that such methods constitute poor strategy, Again the impatience of students hampered them. Military drill exists on the campus because of conditions that are prevalent elsewhere, mainly eco nomic conditions. Students can regard the local de partment as a symbol of the whole damnable mili tary organization of the world. Gradually students pacifists are arriving at the conclusion that they shouldn't center their efforts at reform on local objectives and only those. The Nye munitions Investigation, the direct contradic tion of popular feeling embodied In action of state and foreign affairs departments thru-out the world are bringing home to the students the fact that na tional organization must be established and national objectives agreed upon. Meanwhile, as symbols, local military depart ments have rreat nuisance. At teachers of citizen ship, obedience, loyalty, trustworthiness, courage, and even military drill they are hopelessly lacking in effectiveness. Explanation A$ Prcjiti. A Hard-pressed Freshman writing in today's Student Pulse column has every right to know where the profits on Freshman caps go. Innocents society is in charge of this sale each fall during registration time. All campus organ! zations are financially supervised by the Student Activities office staff, so there certainly is no per sonal graft or rake-off in the deal. During the year Innocents society sponsors mahy activities, functions which it and most other people on the campus feel are worth while. To carry out this program money is needed. Why should the Freshmen pay the toll? Because each year the first year classmen buy caps, meaning that In the end every man in the university has done bis bit, or rather two bits, in supporting traditions of the university and perpetuating functions in the way they should be continued. Some of the activities which must be financed by profits gained in sale of caps are Dads Day, un doubtedly one of the school's most worthy tradi tions; Homecoming, another worth-while function; and rallies, which entail a good deal of expense. In connection with the rallies come the ' yell-leaders outfits and megaphones that add still more to the budget. We hope that we have satisfactorily answered your question, Freshman, and thank you for giving us an opportunity to explain. A Century Of Progress? gOME kind contributor, preferring to remain anonymous, left this choice bit on the editor's desk. It was entitled "A Century of Progress?" and Is here reprinted. The nameless helper stated thst it is an excerpt from Popular Science maga zine. Following is the clipping: "There are persons who constantly clamor. They complain of oppression, speculation, and per nicious influence of accumulated wealth. They cry out loudly against all banks and corporations, and all means by which capitalists become united in order to produce Important and beneficial results. They carry on mad hostility against all established institutions. They would choke the fountain of in dustry and dry all streams. "In a country of unbounded liberty, they clamor against oppression. In a country of perfect equal ity they would move heaven and earth against privilege and monopoly. In a country where prop erty is more evenly divided than anywhere else, they rend the air shouting agrarian doctrines. In a country Where wages of labor are high beyond par allel, they would teach the laborer he is but an op pressed slave. "Sir, what can such men want? What do they mean? They can want nothing, sir, but to enjoy the fruits of other men's labor. They can mean nothing but disturbance and disorder, the diffusion of corrupt principles and the destruction of the moral sentiments and moral habits of society." Danil Webster, 1838. Appended to the clipping was the contributor's statement "and yet how modern." We thank Anonymous for his or her contribu tion. If there was supposed to b some undercur rent of meaning for only the editor to detect, he wishes to state he has failed miserably. Political speeches, even though hallowed by time, are still political speeches. If there is a lesson to be gained from this offering, what is it? If there isn't, thanks anyway. One needs a good laugh very frequently. The editor still believes youth should cherish ideals and liberal thought STUDENT PULSE Uriel, ronrlae runtrlltutiuns pertinent lo muHert nf atudeut life and the university are welcomed by thin department, under the usual restrictions of sound newa paper practice, which excludes all libelous matter hiu! pnrsonal attacks, betters must ba signed, but names will be withheld from publication Is ao desired. Where Does the Money Co? TO THE EDITOR: I'm 'not a wild eyed radical who wishes to up set all traditions sacred to this institution nor am I an Inveterate tightwad trying to chisel my way thru. But I am a penny-pinching freshman, not by choice but by necessity. Now in behalf of all others whb are as de scribed in the preceding paragraph I wish to regis ter a complaint These red freshman caps are en tirely too expensive. Imagine paying fifty rents for a cap which you can buy anywhere else for two bits. Where does that other twenty-five cents jo? It is a well-known fact that these caps are bun dled by a monopoly. Each freshman is virtually required to get one. What happens? Those in charge knowing that no one else can sell these caps With the "38" on the front ask four hits for them and get it. At the same time one can get a cap similar to these for two bits. 8o I know that they are entirely too high. Now, wise guys, answer this question. Where does that other two bits go? Tours for more and cheaper traditions. A HARD-PRESSED FRESHMAN. OFFICIAL BULLETIN Student Council. The student council will meet Wednid7 afternoon at a o'clock In room 9. University hall.

Johnson believes that altho only about one-fourth of the student body reads the edi torials of collegiate newspapers that the leaders on the campus are sufficiently interested to do so, and that from them could spread any movement of merit. Such persons, Johnson asserts, are interested in progressive action, and would ex ert their influence in favor of it That "it is doubtful if any move ment concerned with serious in terests would succeed on an Amer ican campus" is the opinion of Prof. Gayle C. Walker, chairman of the school of journalism. "Such a movement," states Professor Walkpr, "must have enthusiasm, and you can't generate enthunlasm on an Ideal." Mr. Walker believes, however, that the "trend of the times is toward youth movements." and that the student of today is more interested In economic, political, and social questions thun the stu dent of five years ago. Somewhat the same doubt as to the possibility of reaching the mass of the student body is ex pressed by Violet Cross, president of Mortar Board. She believes, nevertheless, that the "thlnklrc, percentage of the student popula tion" would be appealed to, and would be interested. She feels that if the movement is attractive enough to Jnterest the students," that the press is the best means of publicizing it. It is her opinion, however, that it Is more difficult to arouse enthusiasm in nstlonal and international affairs on a cam pus, than in a local problem. CHANTS By MEREDITH OVERTECK.

Last year Armand was seen In "The Late ChritofKr Bean," "Dinner at Eight," "Another Language," "Counsellor At Law," "Dangerous Corner," and "The Curtain Rises." As one of three brothers In "The Shining Hour," the prominent col legian plays the role of David Lin den, so fsr the most difficult part ever attempted. He likes this role the best, of any he has played thus far. As' his life's career, Armand has chosen the theatre; so, when he Is a matinee Idol en Broadway, we can say "I knew him when ."
