Aside to Educators
There are a lot (if things wrong
with tliis country today. Econom
ically, politically, socially, we are
in a mess.
Not the least of the problcm
childron of the nge is education:
for a nation which fosters govern-
nient by the representatives of the
masses presupposes a people cap
able of thinking and deciding, of
speakin and acting - wisely, after
deliberation.
The agency by which an individ
ual is to be made into such ma
terial for the base of a govern
mental system is education, with
the accent on higher education,
colleges and universities.
Yet, with the increase of such
institutions, there has come a real
ization that education, too, has its
blind spots.
Our social system will not take
a grown man with a mature mind
and expect him to be a political
scientist from 9 till 10, a historian
from 10 till 11, a journalist from
11 till 12, and an economist from
1 till 2?
Yet we have an educational
set-up that will pick up a half
baked adolescent with a yet-to-be-developcd
mind and expect him to
do just that.
Can he assimilate any of that
mass of matei ial ?
What can conic from four years
exposure to such academic mumbo
jumbo? While we are cleaning our ec
onomic house, it might be a good
idea to take a peek into our ed
ucational closets. Maybe they could
stand a little going over.

It's Your Baby
With the news that the buffet
dinner has gone to join the "101
night spot," and the "book review"
in Umbo where all unsucegsfull
Union-sponsored projects go when
they die, it seems that it is high
time to stop a minute and check
up a little on this Union deal.
The Union is here today as a
monument to the decade of effort
of successive campus leaders,
Student Council members, PAHA
NKBItASKAN editors, political
pull, circumstances and PWA.
It is here to serve all the stu
dents. But a large portion of the stu
dent body ignores it ... or seems
to.
Your Union has three purposes.
It is to serve meals.
It has served them. The number
of students who have taken ad
vantage of them, however, is rel
atively small.
It is to provide recreational fa
cilities. It has. With blight ly less
than moderately-successful re
sponse. It is to be a cultural center. It
has tried to be. As if college stu
dents wanted culture. It sponsors
hours devoted to the playing of the
most beautiful selections of clasieal
and semi-classical music. A dozen
listen. The shelves of its library
are filled with the great literature
of the past, and with modern best
sellers. A handful come" to look--and
a few to steal. The number
who show up at a book review
wouldn'a make up a sextet.
It's your Union. What do you
want? M. K.

ful intentions of America has
been strengthened by her pepped
up army and navy. We are so
glad that the Americans must
approve wholeheartedly of our
little punitive expedition into
China for the safety of Japan."
A not-so-ardent German nazi en
tering his Berlin shop: "At last we
see that force is the only way. We
will not starve quietly. The Ameri
can expressions of brotherhood
shows clearly that even the ideal
istic 'citadel of democracy" is de
termined to grant us no mercy.
She slaps a 25 cent tariff increase
on our products so that we cannot
sell to her nor buy from her
what our people need to live on.
"When we threw over the kai
ser and signed the armistice the
Allies blockaded us into starva
tion. When we were a democ
racy they raised tarifts against
us so that we could not sell
goods. They drove us off the
gold standard, and yet they de
manded that we pay that blood
money called reparations. Do
mestic Germany met with noth
ing but economic warfare from
the Allies. Now we see that
only by bluff and force can we
make the Allies share part of
the gravy."
An F.nglish commoner fitting on
a gas mask:
"So we should have shown more
'national honor' and fought to save
the Czechoslovakia that America
was so anxious to establish. So
Hitler and the German army are
all a big bluff and the German air
force is something to be disre
garded.
"England has a 'lost genera
tion' even though America does
not. Austria, Memel and Su
deten were German weren't they '
The last war cost the world
10,000,000 men. Czechoslovakia
proper had about 6,000,000.
Isn't it quite a poor business
move? 10,000,000 men dead to
keep 6,000,000 under a particu
lar form of government? But
of course we've lost our Ideal
Ism and sense of honor."
"If national honor is made of
such stuff why doesn't the world
ereet our assurances of help for
Poland with hosanahs of praise?'
A blackshirted Italian deputy
"We can't understand the Brit
ish. Here we follow their example
as closely as possible, and they
protest. We go into Africa to
send missionaries among the peo
ple and abolish slavery just as
the English do and then we get
League sanctions. We fight
little skirmish with the native;
just as the Britiih fought th. Boer
war and the British hold special
cabinet meetings. What better
example could we follow than our

"We demand some of France's
colonics. But no hurry about it.
We are thinking in decades, and
keeping an eye on Hitler."
