G. W. Rosenlof
Announces One
Day Vacation
Despite various rumors circu
lating about campus, Thanksgiv
ing vacation will be held on Nov
30 only, as reported by Dr. G. W.
Rosnelof, registrar.
Only one day will be allowed
for vacation, and no action has
been taken by the faculty to ex
cuse student absences on Friday,
Dec. 1, or Saturday, Dec. 2.
The holiday is officially sched
uled for the 30th because, stated
Dr. Rosenlof, "Viewing the ques
tion of a week end vacation from
the angle of everyone concerned,
it seems best not to change the
calendar-scheduled vacation.
Changing it would not only upset
calendar dates for commencement
activities, but would not be in
harmony with the government
requested acceleration program,
nor the congested traveling con
ditions." UN Band Joins

Lentz, will join with units of

Lewis Browne
Tells Audience
To Grow Up
Lewis Browne, author and lec
turer, told a large audience of
students and townspeople at the
university convocation in the
Union Thursday morning that a
world of plenty, generosity, and
kindliness can be a reality if
people will stop thinking in the
past and grow up mentally and
psychologically in order to keep
pace with the achievements of
modern machinery.
Speaking on "What Went
Wrong with Civilization?",
Browne said that modern man
has a cultural lack of ability to
adapt himself to reality. He
pointed to architecture as an ex
ample of living in a world of
modern conveniences but still
looking to the past.
The obvious cause of the war,
he said, was the rise of Adolph
Hitler. Hitler's rise followed the
downward curve of employment
in Germany, Browne declared.
Americans did not follow a
Facist leader because the people
could fall back on their savings
and because the WPA, however
faulty it was, kept the population
going during time of stress, he
said.
Browne emphasized that it was
up to young people to learn how
to live in this new world. Some
thing went wrong with civil
isation because people didn t
realize that this is a new civil
ization. "Let's have a psychological re
volution and grow up," he con
cluded. Calling All Help!
