FOR FAITH
The enormous expenditures and the great
sacrifices made by parents and instructors to
accomplish the aims of education seem to be
the greatest outrage perpetrated against the
people of this state in the face of an announce
ment made by the Union yesterday. That 17
volumes had been taken from the browsing
room comes as a sneer against the improve
ments and advancements being inaugurated in
our present system.
To discover that people can mount to the
university level without first learning and
having imprinted indelibly upon the fore
most portions of of their conscious and sub
conscious minds the basic precepts of hon
esty and truth, shows a definite fallacy in the
educational design. Of little value to the
world is an educated thief or an aesthetic
murderer.
Little confidence can the businessman of
a few years hence have in his associates when
lie has the sad realization that it is fear alone
that keeps them on honorable side of the line.
Civilization has made small advancement when
it is policing that makes for righteousness.
It is with deep regret that, as in all cases
of lawlessness, freedom is the price to be paid.
With pride Ihe Union opened its Book Nook,
unsupervised, to the comings and goings of all
interested students. With a sad blow to its
faith in youth, it must now institute restric
tions and trust in no one. It is not the thieves
who will suffer, but those who longed for the
companionship of books, those who found new
worlds and unbounded enjoyments in the cul
ture and ideas of the writers.
These books were not taken by a self
styled criminal. They probably were not re
moved from the book room for the monetary
value they represent. But those who have
taken them are thieves none the less. Not
only are they thieves of books, but thieves of
other people's freedoms and rights.
In the name of decency to your fellow
men, in the name of a possible spark of decency
still left in yourself, we entreat you "bor
rowers" of these books to return your loot
and your honor.

Columbia, gave an account of the
same adventure in a recent letter
to Professor Schramm.
"I was about 20 minutes out of
camp when we were ambushed
from ground higher than the
trail," Spoerry wrote his father.
Saw arrow in his back.
"I felt something strike me from
behind. Turned around, saw the
boys scattering, and an arrow
sticking in my lower back. I went
for cover too, but not knowing
exactly where the Indians were,
you can't always depend on cover.
The three watchmen with me fired
most of their shells. Two fired
all of them and one had one shot
left. I had a 38 revolver six
shells in the gun and three in my
belt.
"I used nu shells seeing no
Indians. I gave my gun to my
headman, and he used about six.
We picked up about eight arrows
after the attack. One native was
hit. He was leaning over forward
and the arrow passed the back of
his head and struck him in the
back, going in about an inch.
That's all I thought mine had pen
etrated, but it later proved to be
seven inches, including two barbs.
Walked back to camp.
"We cut out most of the arrow
in the field and walked back to
camp with the rest of it in me.
The arrow was removed in camp
by our Colombian first-aid man.
He and I were made ready and
went to Rio de Cro by boat. From
here they took me on a special
boat to Petrolca, usually a 16 hour
trip, which this time took over 19
hours, i then went a few kilo
meters by scooter and truck to a
waiting plane and finally arrived
at Barranquilla where I was met
by a waiting ambulance and a
physician."
The university has a third rep

who was graduated in 1929, is
also a geologist.
