Kangroo Kourt, horse tank
enforces ag overall decree
The Kangaroo Kourt Is new.
Never before has it been used In
connection with Farmers' Fair.
The court will be used this year
mainly as a result of the haphaz
ard tanking policy carried on in
former years. During the last few
years men have been tanked at
the discretion of a mob led by two
or three students. Because of the
danger of injury and the injustice
of it all, the Fair Board introduced
the Kangaroo Kourt.
The court is run by the police
committee of which Keith Shcr
burn is chairman. The offices of
the court are filled by members
of the committee. Edward Kloster
meyer is judge, Charles Yount,
sergeant at arms and Norm Davis,
bailiff.
Subcommittee.
Committees of members of the
police committee have been ap
pointed for picking up offenders.
These committees will be waiting
to pounce- on law-breakers when
they leave their classes.
First session of the court will
be held at 4 p. m. Wednesday, and
other sessions will be held when
the court deems it necessary. All
defendants have the right to have
any one they wish as their at
torney. Only differences between
this court and a regular court are
that a prisoner is guilty until he
proves that he is innocent and
there is no higher court for him
to appeal the case to when he is
pronounced guilty.
Offender's name, charges, and
witnesses will be turned in to the
police committee by any person
who sees anyone breaking any
rules set up by the Fair board.
Some of the offenses Include: fail
ure of any ag student to wear
overalls to all classes, whether on
the city campus or on ag campus
during this week; failure to re
port in order to be checked off
the efficiency's records on Friday
and failure to stay at work and
co-operate with committee chair

guilty will be a cold bath in the

Poets record
work on disks
NEW YORK, N. Y. (ACP). A
new method of publishing poetry,
with the author recording his verse
on phonograph disks as soon as
possible after it has been written,
has been developed at City col

Kimball Flaccus, who is in charge
of the phonographic library of
contemporary poets, the college
has already been visited by 16
American poets, some of whom
never before heard the sound of
their voices. The recordings of

Ships or $hiptcrcck$?
The question of protecting ship
ping on the high seas continues to
bulk large in the news from Wash
ington. Those who favor keeping the
line of ships to Britain unbroken
gained a victory Wednesday as the
senate foreign relations commit
tee turned thumbs down on pror
posals by Senators Tobey (r.,
N. H. and Nye (r., N. D.) destined
to restrict administrative action in
the matter.
The Tobey resolution would have
prohibited convoys, the one pro
posed by Senator Nye would have
allowed them only if congress ap
proved. The refusal to report the reso
lutions out for debate came after
Secretary Hull had informed the
committee that the state depart
ment was flatly against the pro
posals. Hull declared that it was
manifest that passage of the anti
convoy resolution would be misin
terpreted abroad.
Another phase of the convoy is
sue came to the fore when Presi
dent Roosevelt declared that Amer
ican naval vessels were not pro
hibited from entering combat zones
and that they would operate any
where deemed necessary for hemi
sphere defense.
This statement followed asser
tions that warships of the United
State."; navy, patrol bombers, and
carrier based aircraft are patrol
ing ocean stretches which figure
in the vital battle of the Atlantic.
Mr. Roosevelt pointed out that
because the area of patrol shifts
from day to day it was impossible
to define definitely the patrol lim

of naval operations, disclosed that
at some points the patrol was op-

The administration's action Is In
keeping with America's resolution
to get enough material to Britain
to defeat the nazi aggressors.
The fact no one should lose sight
of Is that the battle of the Atlan
tic is the decisive battle of the
war. A German victory cannot be
complete until England is de
feated, and before this can be
accomplished English supplies
must be choked off.
Those supplies will be choked
off only if this country falters in
its determination to carry out the
lease-lend bill. At the present
critical Juncture of the war, hesi
tation may be fatal faltering. As

"time is not on our side."
If the United States policy of
preventing an axis victory is to
have any chance of succeeding it
can only come by majority recog
nition c.f the imperative need for
action now, and not in the Indefi
