From the past . .
A militant challenge
Ivy Day saw 13 red robed Innocents tap the
most outstanding junior men on the campus to fill
their shoes. And with the initiation that followed,
those Innocents turned in their robes. Their work
was done.
But significantly enough before that society
dramatically revealed its 1942 membership, it had
issued a challenge to Innocents of tlie future and to
all university organizations where Politicus can or
does influence the selections of members. The chal
lenge they issued will not soon be forgotten.
That group placed honor and fair play over
greed and partisan leanings; it placed university
over fraternity. That group elected for the first
time in many years a society based upon merit
and merit alone. They did a job that even uni
versity officials were skeptical that any student
organization could do. The deserving were not
left out; no ill feeling or stench follows the Ivy
Day tappings; honor was given where honor was
due.
To maintain the society on this basis in the fu
ture is indeed a challenge to any future Innocents
group. But the challenge goes even further. For
the members in this year's society held their offices
to be more than senior honors," they were to them
opportunities for service,
did render.
They officiated at the most successful fresh
man reception in many years; they secured the re
organization of parking stalls, alleviating a cramped
condition that has been a traditional campus sore
spot; they took over the politically ridden Junior
Senior Prom, booked a big band and made the party
pay cut. And finally they sponsored a drive to in
form the students of the needs of this university
and were instrumental in organizing the Senior
Council. Activities of this sort will commemorate
the non-partisan and inspired work of this year's
society for years to come.
A trail has been blazed. It has been shown
that politics need not govern honorary organiza
tions on the campus. And the record of the grad
uating Innocents at last reveals the society as it
is, a society above politics, bent upon service and
leadership throughout the school. With the new
members chosen on the bases of merit and leader
ship, we can be assured that if any group can
.continue the example set this year, the present
group can. If the new men are the men the out
going society believed them to be when they
chose them, they will accept the challenge and
raise the name of Innocency to even greater
heights.
For a combination of good men, of high ideals
and a firm belief in justice cannot fail to produce
commendable results.

went inside to serenade Miss Por
ter. While inside the Sig Alpha
let air out of their tires and
brought l!bses to the front to
drench the celebrating DU's.
'This is too much.'
Tn the words of one of the at
tacked, damage to their cars was
more than they could stand. "DU's
don't care much about these
squabbles, but when trampled
around they are going to answer
blow for blow."
With Meier himself leading the
fight, the DU's already soaked to
the skin, counter-attacked the op
posing coalition, exchanged a few
blows and in what ljecame a tug
of war tore the hose in many
pieces.
Surprise in the fight to the Sig
Alphs was 05 pound Hugh Wilkins
who seized the hose from behind,
gave battle to some five fellows,
and succeeded in drenching the
lot before odds overcame him. Vnl
Anderson, Wally Munson, Leonard
Dunker and Marvin Athey came
to his assistance and gave what
onlookers described ns a particu
larly good account of themselves.
Then came the police.
Police finally brought order and
got the stalled traffic in motion.
A service truck appearing on the
scene filled the candy pussen'
tires and the delayed procession
moved homeward.
More than 200 persons filled the
street, including sorority girls and
members of neighboring fraterni
ties out to watch the fracas.
"There is no hard feeling," repre
sentatives from both sides de
clared. "It was the culmination of
a feud between the Sig Alphs and
DU'a which arises whenever the
latter has a candy passing on
sorority row."

The leaders speak
Saturday the triumphant nazi
army paraded thru the streets of
Athens under the watchful eye of
Marshal List, nazi Balkan com
mander. Sunday Hitler harangued the
Reichstag in the famous Kroll op
era house in Berlin. In that speech,
he accused Prime Minister Church
ill of "committing the greatest
strategical error of this war by
thinking Italian reverses in Af
rica had made it timely to trans
fer the war scene to Greece."
He neglected to mention that
the English had iron-clad treaties
for mutual defense with Greece,
and that the war in Greece was
deliberately precipitateed by the
Germans at a time of their own
choosing, and not that of the Eng
lish. The bulk of the Hitler speech
consisted of boasting of the Ger
man successes in the pasL and the
prediction of eventual German
success, regardless of the coali
tions that might be formed against
her.
Lenders in this country, how
ever, gave definite evidence that
past nazi successes have not les
sened the arder with which the
war against Hitlerism is to be
conducted.
President Roosevelt, dedicating
Wilson's birthplace as a national
shrine, declared that the American
people had fought before and were
"over ready to fight again" for
the existence of "democracy in
the world."
The chief executive praised Wil
son's faith in the democratic way
of life and expressed his own
faith that democracy would
emerge triumphant from the
"tragic conflict which the world
witnesses today."
Speaking in Nashville, Wendell
L. Willkie predicted the eventual
victory of democracy, and declared
that within three to six months,
the United States will be turning
out more armor and armament
than Germany.
