All sifntd edltorUM art the opinion, of the editor and
ihoald aot construed to reflect the view, of the ad
miniitratloa " ! the university.
And You?
Taps will sound over the nation today as
the cities and villages, Hie aged and the youth
pay tribute to World War I dead. University
exercises will be held this morning at the pa
rade ground west of the coliseum
Altho this Armistice day finds the world
in another war, those men who fought and died
for the same principles we fight for today
should not be forgotten. In a sense we are pay
ing tribute not only to those who died in World
War I but to all defenders of this country
those who fought at Bunker Hill, Gettysberg,
San Juan, ajid more recently in the foxholes
of Bataan, at Pearl Harbor, Wake Island and
the Solomon Islands.
The commemoration of Armistice Day is
somewhat inconsistent with the world at war
and for that reason we should give up some
time today to consider what we have fought
for in the past and what we are fighting for
today. Too often, in the rush of school life, we
are apt to forget that while we are here in
school, men are actually giving lives so that
schools may exist as we believe they should
exist.
The university has declared a two hour re
cess from classts so that students may take the
opportunity to remember the war dead. Every
student should feel it an obligation to attend
the services today and share in the ceremony.
Students who coke or do other unimpor
tant errands during the two hours this morn
ing, should feel a little guilty that they did not
take a few minutes to remember the meaning
of the. day. Those students who will not attend
the ceremony this morning are those students
who take every opportunity offered by democ
racy but who never give any serious thought to
its continuance or wen Deing.
I By Gene Bradley
The Raver
(In collaboration with Edgar Allan Poe.)
Once upon a midnight dreary,
Whie I pondered weak and weary,
I heard a tapping, someone gently rapping,
At my chamber door
Only this and nothing more.
My complexion started paling
As I heard the lonesome wailing;
The wail of sin, or even Error Flynn,
Sounding through my floor
Only this an nothing more.
Slowly then I passed the staircase,
Hearing sounds that made my hair raise;
I was fearful, fearful lest I get an earful
Of my fate which lay in store
Only this and nothing more.
Then I saw a body gasping,
Gasping there and slowly wrasping;
I heard it moaning, someone loudly groaning,
Splashing blood upon the floor
Only this and nothing more.
While this body THEY were trouncing,
Down the stairs a head came bouncing;
It jumped the gap, and landed in my lap:
Capitol to Campus
Richter I
Deflate Preis T
By Jay Richter
Associated Colle
NYA and Colleges
WASHINGTON. (ACP).Contrary to some
opinion, college students can still get consid
erable aid from the National Youth Adminis
tration. The NYA appropriation for this school
year was cut from 11 to 7 million dollars but
the amount available to each student remains
the same as it was before congress trimmed the
agency's sails.
However, no aid is forthcoming for stu
dents who aren't enrolled in courses which aid
successful prosecution of the war. , Courses
which so qualify arc designated by college ad
ministrative officials.
A minimum of $10 per month and maxi
mum of $25 may be earned by an NYA student,
altho the Washington office of NYA is putting
up a battle in congress for a maximum of $'
$40 a month. The idea is that now, if ever,
competent students should be given every op
portunity to develop skills desperately needed
in war time.
Negro students in some colleges cannot ob
tain NYA help. But, happily, these students
can apply directly to Washington for aid from
NYA's special Negro fund, no credit to the col
leges which make such procedure necessary.
Money No Object ...
Old economic garb no longer fits the shape
of things. As the war so glaringly demon
strates, money is beside the point when it
comes to mobilizing the real wealth of a coun
try to fight a war. -Take the case of the gold
miners who were recently removed from their
jobs by the WPB to be placed in zinc, copper
and other mines.
And take, that abused phrase, "but what
about the public debt?" We have come to
recognize that "public debt" is not necessarily
a "bad" phrase. For a public debt is not only
a debt (bad word) but an investment (good
wordl! And a big national debt isn't some
thing we owe outsiders; it's in the family, a
part of a government which is the people them
selves.
From the trend of thinking among Wash
ington economists, it's a good bet that during
the war and the post-war period, the national
budget will be used as a balance wheel for the
nation. When times are good, the debt will be
whittled down thru taxation; when they are
bad. taxes will be reduced and money taken
from the treasury to get us out of our dol
drums. Which is nothing unusual. It s only
that we've taken it so hard in the past. .
According to these same Washington
economists, we may expect a period of one or
two years immediately after the war when in
flation pressure will be terrific. As one of
them put it, "We'll be swimming in a tremen
dous lot of cash," i: e: the money we're laying
by now.
To arrest this expected boom, the govern
ment will hold down buying power, thru taxa
tion and by withholding some of the war bonds
we're buying so furiously now.
Because people will have a lot of money
to spend in the post-war period, there will be
a big boom in heavy industry. It has been esti
mated, for example, that there will be an im
mediate market for 9 million automobiles,
which manufacturers have said they can turn
out inside a year.
Education Elsewhere
Hungarians arc "alarmed" over a rumor
that the nazis are about to teutonize their
schools.
(And well they might be.)
A nationwide bayonet exercise, sponsored
by the Japanese Students Athletic association,
was held on the isle of the rising sun recently.
Premier Tojo contributed a trophy to "en
courage the spirit of students under wartime
conditions.."
I
By Bob Miller t;
Believe me, I was filled with horr'r
Only this and nothing more.
Hoping death would pass this buy by,
I rushed from the House of Phi Psi ;
I started slipping, something sihny dripping:
Blood and brains and gore
Only this and nothing more.
So I fled that midnight dreary,
Eyeballs gone and body weary;
I dodged those guys with long blue knives,
And swam away from Death's black shore
Only this and nothing more.
