Armistice Day 1941
Today in the coliseum 2,000 uniformed cadets
from the ROTC ranks will gather to pay tribute
to those who gave their lives in the "wht to end
all wars," that ended with the Armistice of Nov.
11, 1918. Those 2,000 cadets corne from classrooms,
drill fields and camps where they are learning how
to fight this generation's "war to end all wars."
Today we pay tribute to those who died twenty
years ago for the principles that are again en
dangered. As we watch today's program in the
coliseum and hear the salute to the dead, let us
also pay advance tribute to those cadets who will
soon be fighting for those principles.
Join the Red Cross
Today Red Cross starts its annual nationwide
roil call drive. The Student Council, recognizing
the part that the Red Cross organization will soon
play on battlefields where American soldiers are
fighting, is conducting for the first time a campus
membership drive.
Because it is the youth of the United States who
will be most affected by any aid the Red Cross
will give during the war, it seems appropriate that
youth should have a large membership in this
organization. For this reason, it seems that youth
as represented by tha students of the university
should do everything possible to make the Student
Council drive successful. While a dollar seems a
great sacrifice to many students, it is minute in
comparison to the sacrifices that our soldiers, sail
ors and airmen will have to make in the war.

Behind the News
By Oavid Thompson
What to Do
Have you ever been on the horns of a dilemma?
Have you ever come to a fork in the road only to
find both roads a quagmire and the road back
blocked by a flood? That is the kind of a position
that the IT. S. finds itself in today. If we stay in
the war against Hitler as far as we are now, or
even go further to defeat the Nazi menace, we are
faced with the awesome task of reconstructing
Europe, a Europe that will have been ravished by
a long war. If we let Hitler find the Axis go on
and win without any further participation on our
part in this war, as some would have us do, we
would be left alone to face an all powerful and
domineering Germany under Hitler, blown up with
power and seeking new fields to conquer. Oh yes,
there would be a temporary lull while the "New
Order" in Europe, Africa and Asia took a breath
ing spell, but when that was achieved what assur
ance have we that the Western Hemisphere wouldn't
be next. Only the assurance that a perpetual state
of strong defense, maintained at a tremendous
cost over a long period of time with the odds
against us, meaning the combined resources of
Europe, Asia and Africa, growing greater every
year would give us.
Neither course presents a very pleasant pros
pect, does it? Nevertheless that is what the
American nation is faced with, and has to choose
from. At this point that decision has been made
already, at least to all practical purposes. Our
navy is at battle stations in the Atlantic, our
merchant ships already have Congressional authori
sation, lacking a few details, to arm and defend
themselves in the Atlantic. I don't see how any
one who faces reality at all can say that the U. S.
is not already in this war.
The most satisfactory way out of the dilemma,
that we and the rest of the world find ourselves in.
would be to have Hitler fall without Germany, as
a nation, suffering a military defeat. The question
is, can you separate Hitler from the German na
tion? That question cannot be definitely answered,
of course, but if it could be it would be a most
satisfactory way out Rumors, and they are merely
rumors, from Germany in the past few days indi
cate that the German army leaders would like to
toss out Hitler and the Nazi party if they could
be assured that Britain would conclude a com
promise peace with them on this basis. The success
of that rests on two large "IFs" ... If the German
army leaders could toss Hitler out and retain the
support cf the German people, and if Britain
would accept a compromise peace if Hitler was
out of the way. None of us are in a position
to answer either "IF", but looking at it from a
purely theoretical point of view, it would be the
best way out of a world situation that will of
necessity leave the world in a state of chaos
otherwise.

Willi Requirements lowered
U. S. Civil Service Appoints
Naval Ordnance Inspectors
By Marjorie May
A "dry" campus night club no stags admitted
is the innovation the Texas Student Union made
in their program last Friday. "Cover charge for
the four hours entertainment will be 26 cents a
couple," the Daily Texan reported. "Reservations
are limited to 360 persons.
"Flanking the dance floor will be one hundred
varied-sired tables, each accommodating parties
of two to twelve," the Daily continued. "In addi
tion to a soft drink bar on the terrace, the room
will feature prompt table service.
"This room the Longhom Room was resigned
by the Union Board of directors to replace the
All-University Dances, which have been discon
tinued except when "big name" bands can be se
cured to play for them."
The National Red Cross drive, starting on UN
campus this week, has already made progress at
Baylor. "A call was issued yesterday at noon for
Baylor girls to sign up or a Red Cross home
nursing course," stated the story printed in the
Daily Lariet. "They would have to give 20 to 30
hours of their time, they would receive no credit,
no glory, not anything.
Within three hours after the call had been is
sued, 111 girls had signed their names. The Red
Cross had expressed its wish to get at least 20."
From another part of the south cornea a report

Appointments are now being
made by the government civil
service commission for inspectors
of naval ordnance materials and
for junior inspectors, according to
an announcement made by the
commission this week.
No written examinations are
given for these positions but ap
plicants are being rated on their
education, training and experience
as shown in their applications.
Anyone under 65 is qualified to
apply.
Any university student desiring
further information should secure
forms from the civil service com
mission at the post office or get

The membership was raised to 75

At this time the Guild decided
to build their own $35,000 house.
