Meanwhile in America, congress
still considers in committee the
neutrality proposal, delaying ac
tion till public opinion can be felt
out. And public opinion, so all the
polls indicate, is overwhelmingly
in favor of the repeal proposal. It
would seem that the American
public has already gone to war.
For already, large numbers of the
American people have come to de
test the German government, the
German people, the German tradi
tion.
Story of hate.
This Is not a new story; it is old.
It is a story of hate, a tale of war,
an all American novel. It is the
true revelation of a "peace loving"
America which has just gone to
war.
War is a technique, and usually
results in censorship to coerce peo
ple, in horror stories to inflame
people. But in America we are al
ready co-reed, already inflamed;
all we need do is to declare war.
For we are already convinced that
the allies are fighting the cause
of justice, that Germany is an ag
gressor. We are already inflamed,
incensed over the "plight of justice.

Cunningham, president of Inno

that enrollment in German classes
has declined sharply, and that
there has always been a marked
resentment among townspeople
against the German department of
the university.
What of America.
Notice the Dorothy Thompson
Blain Moody stories about Russia
and Germany whipping the allies,
and then with the aid of their
navies, embarking on an expedi
tion to conquer the Americas; or
the president's statements that
submarines were lurking off the
coast of Virginia.

American attempt (directed by
Sumner Welles, state department

or the sparkling efforts of that
shining example of patriotism, tne

Pan-American history black.'
But while Mr. Roosevelt and
Mr. Hull are raving about injus
tices in Europe, why don't they
explain the great suspicion facing
American diplomats in the Pan-
American conferences and in the
present inter-American confer
ence at Panama City. And the
Panama Canal which we are so
concerned about why don't we ex
plain to Germany that we were be
having in a just and passive man
ner in fostering the Columbian
revolution which gave rise to the
state of Tanama. Why don't we
explain to Germany the compati
bility of our Monroe doctrine in
the Americas, and our policy of
open door in the Far East, our con
stant demand for the integrity of
China.
And speaking of integrity, what
about our marines' jaunts to Santo
Domingo, to Haiti, to Cuba, to
Nicaragua, to a dozen other little
Polands and Czecho-Slovakias"
who were overcome by the big
brute neighbor, whose men were
murdered by playsome American
soldiers, whose women were raped
by some of the boys on a spree, as
one governmental communique
from Santo Domingo puts it.
Help the Weak?
Good neighbors? What of our
"coercive crush" of the students'
government In Cuba in 1933, be
cause it was opposed to American
sugar interests. Try to tell Mexi
co, or any of the Caribbean na
tions that Uncle Sam is out to
help little boys become strong,
and to civilize little savages.
But Warsaw burns; the whole
of eastern Europe and the Balkans
is now out of control from the
English point of view; the path
way to India is threatened by a
Turkish or Russian push into Per
sia; the British blockade is not
very effective, and the western
front is becoming another battle
field. America is the answer, and
allied diplomats, and journalists
are trying their best to insure that
this answer will be favorable to
them.
Sweating gets one farther than
swearing.
Educator writes
article that laud
those who think
Textbooks are not substitutes
but stimulants for thinking, says
Harry Weekly, former Custer
county superintendent, who is now
doing graduate research in the de
partment of secondary education
at the university.
In answer to the increased agi
tation today to throw away the
textbook as an obsolete teaching
aid, the Nebraska educator de
clares in the current issue of the
Nebraska Educational Journal,
that science has proved textbooks
neither unnecessary nor injurious.
He points out that if by some
magic power a pupil could be made
to do his thinking first, and seek
the aid of his book second, there
would be no textbook problem.
"But," he adds, "an antiquated no
tion persists that the teacher and
the textbook should do the think
ing, and the pupils the remember
ing" The current movement towards
pupil-teacher . participation in
building the curriculum around the
student, is lauded by Weekly.
This promises to prove much," he
states. "It establishes a huge uni
versal laboratory that no amount
of money could endow in a college
or research institute."
"In the Interim, those who would
discard the textbook might do well
to weigh the consequences of burn
ing their bridges and rushing with
undiminished speed around a blind
corner into a possible dead end."
The University of Chicago has
an endowment fund of $65,400,-000.

fast, tis true, but
have you heard
GOLD'S have
a brand new stock of Sloppy Joe
sweaters and plaid swing skirts.
You know why they had to order
a whole new stock? Because
Sloppy Joe sweaters are so popu
lar around here that they were
completely sold out and every
time they sold a sweater ,a plaid
skirt went too. These skirts come
in great big horse blanket plaid
or little colt blanket plaid and
those long, loose cardigans with
grosgrain binding and white pearl
buttons come in natural, moss
green, powder blue aqua, Bordeau
wine and maize.

that Sunday night doesn't give a

perfect results. They have a repu
tation for turning out princess-
Uke perfection in coiffures and
have yet to encounter the head
they couldn't beautify.
Naturally you strive to look
your best on special occasions like
Sunday night dates but have you
ever wondered how you looked to
that one and only on Monday
morning in an eight o'clock class ?
guess all of us sort of let down
when it comes to dressing for
classes but the book on "How to
be Beautiful" or something like
that says that's bad. Males seem
to be very sensitive to sudden
changes and the shock of seeing
his Sunday night special a wreck
on Monday morning is very likely
to send him off in the opposite
direction. Take heed, gals, take
heed.
Well, speaking of school and
school clothes reminds me that
