ISEWS PARADE
by
Man In IVtt'ixMi
Acceptance.
Tension relaxed somewhat in
Europe yesterday when Hitler ac
cepted the league's invitation to
discuss the international crisis
aroused by his remilitarination of
the Rhin'eland. Immediately fol
lowing the receipt of the telegram
announcing Germany's acceptance,
Maxim Litwmoff, Russian repre
sentative to the league, attacked
Germany saying that her recent
action was merely a smoke screen
for future aggression.
England is opposed to any form
of penalties against Germany
whil France insists upon punish
ment in return for her cooperation
with England In applying sanc
tions to Italy.
Possibilities of war seemed to
be considerably less than ten
days ago when Hitler marched
his army into the Rhineland.
Last week Lloyds refused to
quote odds on war but this week
are willing to grant odds of 5 1-2
to 1 against war in the next six
months

ing or lamenting. There were no
leaping headlines telling us that
we were at last in the era of per
petual peace. Why? Because
eveiyone tamihar with the bill
knows that it i not sufficient even
to keep us out of war.
Obviously, thei-eare some actions
of society which are so intimately
bound up with human nature that
no legislation can alter or prevent
them. The eighteenth amendment
was an attempt to improve the
status of society by legislation and
it failed. Internationally speaking,
there are almost as many treaties
broken as there are treaties made
treaties subscribed to in the
greatest sincerity, but continually
changing circumstances altered
past judgments and undermined
past faiths.
Legislation that pivents the
shipping of certain materials of
war or the limiting of the amount
of ci-edit to a warring nation rep
resents one method of attacking
the problem of prevention of war.
This is the isolationist policy of
keeping out of foreign entangle
mentsthe policy which, if carried
to its logical conclusion, would
make America as economically
self-sufficient as a fourteenth cen
tury French manor and would
carry he back almost as far as
that.
Since in this modem world space
and time have been decreased
greatly, isolation is neither desir
able or praticable: and the pres
ent policy of passing a law de
signed to keep us out of war is
like passing a law to stop dring
ing. The goal is right, the road
is wrong.
s
What was the immediate cause
of America's entering the World
War? Was it the shipping of arms
an munitions to the belligerents?
No! It was the sinking of neutral
American ships without warning
that lighted red flames of hatred.
Was it the loaning of huge sums
of money to the warring nations?
No! It was pictures of wanton
destruction of French villages, of
weepir.g French women, of desti
tute French urchins. It was slo
gans "make the world safe for
democrarcy," "a war to end war."
and so forth that swept the
emotions of the American people
to fear, anger, hstred and revenge. j
It was propaganda that duped the
intellect and short-circuted the
reason.
Wars are not fought to get more
land or to sell munitions: they are
fought to save the honor of a na
tion, to display power, heroism,
and patriotism In short, the real
intent of warring nations or those
about to war) is masked with
subtle phrases, written with acid
instead of ink, designed to bring
about the inhumanly desired end
in a humanly desired way.
One of the first steps, therefore,
to maintain external neutrality, is
to maintain internal placidity.
This can be done (and we are in
the process now) by long years of
educating the members of society
to be tolerant of other individuals,
nations and races; this can be done
by enforcing the first amendment
to the constitution to insure that no
individual or no group is pre
vented from truthfully and ade- j
quatelv presenting th "other side" l
of an international question. False
propaganda must be chained not
commerce or finance.
Wp have had laws designed to
prevent murder from the dawn of
society, but we still have murder
and will as long as there are men
who remain crude animals, uncul
tured, unsocializpd. When men
learn to live peaceably in groups,
they do not war among themselves
but among groups: and when these
gioups grow into nations, they do
not war among their groups, but
among nations: and only when or
if they grow into a world society
will there be peace on earth. . .
We thought we had an organiza
tion that could handle war-like
situations with an iron hand and
the League of Nations was, in fact,
successful in a number of cases.
But the league lacks power. Let
the league consist of the world's
best governing men the rulers.
Instead of their representatives
If that governing body is to have
blood of iron in its veins.

College students, more than any
other group, want peace. They
re disinterested enough in world
affairs to be impartial. They have

The effect the increased returns

proposed tax program was not yet
known but Washington is hoping
that processing taxes will not
have to be levied.
I eterans.
Students at Princeton and Vas
sar express their contempt for war
by organizing an association for
"the veterans of future wars' and
"the Association of Gold Star
Mothers of Future Wars." They
immediately began a progTam to
get a bonus and the Gold Star
Mothers started to seek trips
abroad for young women to view
the prospective graves of their fu
ture sons.
The founders expressed the in
tention of making the group an
intercollegiate organisation.
Planned Loafing Might
End Student Cramming.
Two thousand years hence eth
nologists, delving into college-mid-derns.
will dig out such artifacts
of Homo Universitas as the cram.
The cram is a dull, boring weapon
used to bar sleep from the study
den. It is used to pound, stamp,
and otherwise insert into the Uni
versitas. head enough assorted
facts to pass exams.
This cram, psychologists tell us,
does aid students to pass a factual
examination. But most of the
facts are soon forgotten. Long
time retention suffers. The cram
too, helps little in courses in which
a student must interpret theories.
The moral, professors say. is "Be
prepared'' all thru the quarter.
In this boy-scoutish fashion col
lege students ai-e politely rapped
on the knuckles and told that if
they would have planned their
work from the beginning of the
quarter they would not have had
to cram.
The trouble is that classwork is
not education. A conscientious
student, interested in satisfying
the academic world's own criterion
of success good grades while
getting an education is in a dilem
ma. He drives himself thru un
interesting courses hunting pre
requisites, foregoes outside of class
activities, and interprets or thinks
little because thinking wastes col
lege time.
Harvard university gives its stu
dents a period of freedom before
each seige of examinations. There
collegians have a few weeks to
interpret factual knowledge, catch
up on recommended reading, tack
unrelated courses together. A pie
examination study period allows
time for study when a student is
mentally set for learning. Minne

A Real University
Graduate Matter of Idling.
Walter F. Crowder. of the Uni
versity of Iowa faculty claims peo
ple do not idle enough. He urges
bigger and better loafing for every
one. It would be a great thing. Es
pecially do college students need
time to idle, to think things out at
their leisure. In that way does one
leam.
Mr. Newton was idling under a
tree when an apple descended to
hi bead. He discovered the law of
gravity. Benjamin Franklin idly
flew his kites. Master John Watt,
in moments of leisurely loafing,
wondered what raised the cover of
the tea kettle. Great idlers, these,
A student isn't graduated from a
university with a factual knowl
edge of the world. Even if he
were, that wouldn't be education.
College properly teaches a student
to mull over facts, think things
out weigh theories. That takes
time idling time. There is some
thing out of balance in a college

curriculum which cause a student

A university, too, should teach
one how to enlov life. "Culture," Is
an overworked word. But it takes
a virtuoso idler to loaf thru sym
phony concerts, current books,
Einstein dramas and other "good
cigar." A proper university cur
riculum should not disallow time
for lofinr. It should teach the

American visitors to England
sre often much impressed by tb
fact that every cottage, every
home outside the great city areas,
has an enclosed garden, usually at
the back, an outdoor living room
where the family can enjoy a no
cent privacy as real as that within
the house. The typical American
lawn on the other hand, is not en
closed. Often a man cannot distin
guish where his land approaches
the property of his -neighbor. This
difference in gardens is signincam
of a difference in the American
and English philosophies of life.
The Englishman uvea in a
crowded world, Hs la compelled to
rub elbows continually with his
fellows there are so many of
them. His genius has consequently
developed in social rather than
mechanical knowledge. He naa to
learn, in order to survive, how to
get along with others. But his so
cial wisdom has impressed upon
him the necessity of privacy. The
man who can enrich his life in tne
seclusion and peace of his own
garden is most likely to live wisely
among his fellows. He has the
physical requisite of developing
himself. And he has the precious
opportunity to be alone in a beau
tiful place.
The college student would do
well to consider the lesson of the
English garden. Instead of striv
ing so strenuously for personality,,
for social recognition and the ex
ternals of popular success, he had
much better make sure of him
self. And one can shut out the
world occasionally and bo with en
thusiasm that which he really is,
who has a garden in which he can
enjoy himself, that one la moat
likely to develop that self respect
which Is essentlon to social dis
tinction. And self respect, Ilka all
other kinds of respect, is based
upon knowledge and acceptance of
truth. Daily O'Colleglan.
QUOTABLE QUOTES
I By A.soclatd CollSKlat PrMS.l
"The educated man has proved
a constructive force and at the
same time a conservative force In
the state, a bulwark against shal
low counsels and vain proposals,
Statesman Balnbridge Colby calls
upon college men for straight
thinking and steadying influence.
"Today men are not employed
because they hold a college degree,
and society has been forced to look
for spiritual values in the char
acter of educated men. Many col
leges have been reduced to a loaf
er's paradise, with the students
looking only for good positions
and social standing from their edu
cation." Clemens M. Grankson,
president of August ana college
(Sioux Falls, S. D.l, believes im
portance of college degree has de
creased because colleges fail in
spiritual and moral training.
. .
"I am in hearty accord with you
when you say we should encourage
youth to express itself on matters
of education, business and govern
ment. I have observed that youth's
la.-'' of practical experience is fre
quently compensated by idealism
and sense of justice. Today, more
than ever, we need the stimulus
of a youthful approach to the se
rious problems that confront our
country." President Roosevelt ap
proves a youth essay contest.
"Neither will we ever compro
mise our opposition to having 'free
speech' mean that a man can do as
he pleases under the university's
protection, sneer at religion oi
bring in political propaganda."
University of Pittsburgh' chancel
lor, John G. Bowman, tolls Penn
sylvania's Governor Earle to Jump

"Today It almost takes a cipher
expert to read the handwriting of
the average school boy," The edi
tor of the Harvard Alumni Bulle
tin announces, sorrowfully, that
the typewriter has come to stay.
"Industrial firms are once again
sending scouts to the colleges,
seeking prospective employes."
Prof. Donald S. Parks, Toledo uni
versity personnel director, points
to a ray of sunshine.
.
"Washington's boyhood has been
distorted, his public career has
been misrepresented to further the
selfish political interests of his
successors, and his historians have
deliberately fallfied the things he
said and did in order to present a
picture of the 'Father of Our
Country' as a man without a
fault." Prof. James B. Hedges of
Brown Indulges in a little debunk
ing. .
"America is a well watered
country and the inhabitants know
all of the fishing holes. Tho
Americans also produce millions of
automobiles." So says former
President Herbert Hoover, con

Comments on Music
By Associated Collegiate Press
Miss rinher. columnist at Los
An coles Innlor college. Is some
what discouraged with Prof. Rol
lln F, Charles of Franklin and
.Marshall college for his recent do-
flattonarv remarks concerning a
sonar which Miss Ptnher rather
likes.
The song is "The Music Goes
"Round and Around." This is false
propaganda, says Prof. Charles.
While the music may come out
"here," it simply does not go
round and around Inside the horn.
There just isn't any music at all
until the sound waves reach the
bell of the horn. Then the air
column and the instrument itself
oscillate to produce the tonal ef
fect.
Miss Pipher is discouraged be
cause she has been experimenting
with the new conception of the
song. Her efforts have only
brought her to, "the air column
goes round and round and it oscil
lates here." She doesn't care for
it.
Columbia's Prof. Colin G. Fink
believes universities should have
less "'blackboard scientists," more
practical laboratory workers.

ODAY as you read this newspaper
faster tempo is sweeping over
America. Headlines shout the news!
Motor car sales increase! Building tom
ahead! Steel production advances! Industry
moves forward on every front.
But what, you say, has this to do with
men's clothes? The answer is every thing1.
Consider this seriously you men who
are just "getting by" with a second or
third-year suit:
These are no times for shiny seats and
elbows. These are no times for shabby,
misfit clothes. You've waited a long time
for the opportunities that are now close
at hand- You can't afford to let personal
appearance stand in your way.
Frankly, you're expected to look abreast
of the times as well as think abreast of
the times. And clothes right clothes
can equip you with the self-assurance you
need to step along with any company
Fortunately you can have the coun
try's finest clothes without spending a
lot of money. Some men don't know this
and make the sad mistake of paying
the exact price of a Hart Schaffner &
Marx suit for clothes of inferior style and
quality. Since you're paying the price
why not get the quality? And speaking
of quality we've never had a finer col
lection of superior suits in our store than
the new 1936 Hart Schaffner cV Marx
clothes just received.
Spend fifteen minutes here browse
through the smart spring styles and colors
look at the price tags and you'll know
better than any words of ours can tell you
why millions of men who must look right
always wear Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes.

Stripes are the most important style
development of the season!
Every well-dressed man's wardrobe should contain a striped suit this
spring and this is stripe headquarters. Not only are stripes important
but double-breasteds are preferred and the broad-shouldered trimness of
this coat with the fuller lapels insure perfect smartness at moderate cost!
