For Greeks Only
Last week saw the presentation of the
scholarship cup, and again we settle back
into another twelve-month’s scholastic leth-
argy, However, we feel that the silver tro-
phy has a nobler purpose than that of a
“dust-catcher extraordinaire’ on the man-
tel of one of the several houses, because
it raises scholarship from the level of indivi-
dual effort to that of concerted group
action. But we do feel that it has failed in
the aim, for most of this very fine incentive
has been lost because the spirit of competi-
tion has been lost amid the extra-class
struggles of the various organizations,
While seeing her name on the Dean's
List may be important to the sorority girl,
and making Signum Laudis may be a thing
of primary importance in her young life,
attaining a respectable place on the scholar-
ship list indicates not only personal pride,
but a justification of her sorority. If you
think that a B average is a synonym for the
word “stooge,” may we suggest that you |
pledge a country club rather than a soror-
ity?

“War is Beautiful”
_—_____-COMMENTSTATER:
Recently I was delightfully surprised to discover
an article in the Reader's Digest which gave a whole-
somely new angle on the topic of war. Besieged as
we now are by literature for peace, peace movements
and the like, an article calling war beautiful and good
fun is stimulating. Described in beautiful language
by an advocate of war, warfare becomes a thrilling
romance,
Despite what bigoted peace organizations may say, |
there are Innumerable reasons for war, the most im-
portant of which are the economic reasons. When a |
nation is left to itself and undergoes several genera- |
tions of stagnant peace and quiet, it is a well-known |
fact that economic depressions crop up. A good, en-
ergizing war stimulates prices, sends wages up, and |
brings to many nations millions of dollars in gold and |
accounts receivable. Surely, increased wealth is not
an evil. Wars also tend to reduce the world's popula-
tion, as many people know. Overpopulation is a great
hazard. When the birth rate is high it surely follows
that some of this excess population must be elimin-
ated, and warfare can do it. In order to have more
successes at warfare a nation must have many soldiers
so therefore the birth rate must be higher which is
| good because the more people there are the more
chance there is of overpopulation and this in turn
makes for more soldiers to fight so that overpopula-
tion can be overcome. This may sound a bit com-
plicated but the fact that this system is very workable
proves its merit.
War and preparation for war builds up a nation’s
wealth by government purchase of explosives and metal
for gun and ship building. Unemployed are given |
work and beautiful navies come into being, with majes- ,
tic dreadnaughts built as only man with his divine
power could build them. Mere preparation for war,
however, entails the employment. of numerous soldiers
and sailors who spend their days doing practically
nothing. It is the crowning climax of real war which
can stimulate them and build up their morale,
This leads me to say that war is the people's best
arouser of spirit, What person looks bored with life
when a war is declared? Wars take people out of
the bothersome humdrum of their everyday lives into
a life as exciting and enchanting as any story. Young
men are given opportunity to show their bravery and
to die young. Imagine yourself a young man on the
battlefield, dying. Think of the joy that would surge
through your heart to know that there will be people
in your home town who will mourn you and be proud ,
they knew you, |
There fs little, very little that I can say about the |
beauties of war, after Mr, Vittorio Mussolini's superb |
description in his book War is Beautiful. As the eld- ,
est son of I] Duce, he had the chance of fighting in
the Ethiopian conflict. He especially remembered one
incident in which he dropped a bomb on a group of
horsemen and watched the results with interest. The |
spectacle reminded him of a rose slowly unfolding its
petals—a deeply red rose, no doubt. Imagine the
Graceful swoop of the bomb as it comes down, the in-
congruous beauty of a mother picking up what's left
of her child, the thrilling flashes of fire in the night.
What a life it must be to live among these things, and
to see for oneself the beauties of war.

Personal
Viewpoints
So we're back in our small
little groove this week with
thoughts tired and jaded after
tripping over eighteen ems of
space last week, Right now
we're trying to think of a sub-
ject—yearning for an idea and
yawning over thinking of one.
Do you remember Canute’s
Cuthbert and how he grew, He
and his sister grew in stature un-
der the tutulage of the M. A. A.
and W. A. A. muscle binders. As
Cuthie becaine more and more
Atlaslike, Anastie’s weight-toss-
ing ability grew. As these Corn-
cob twins studied more and
more, and passed courses, and
made honors they felt they were
accomplishing something, How-
ever, one day this happy family
had a serious problem arise be-
fore them and they looked for a
means to cope with it. They
looked in their math book and
their history book and chem
book and language text, and per-
used their stock of English liter-
ature and found naught but an
extra layer of dirt which requir-
ed extra ablutions and a few cold
bare facts that needed relearn-
ing. Their backs became strain-
ed with the lifting of heavy
books and this added to their
woes. What did they need? The
answer is simple—just a little bit
of common sense philosophy of
living.
A few years back there was on
the State college faculty a man
named Kirtland who was noted
for his ability to make the mem-
bers of his class think. We've
often wished that our Corncob
friends had been but a member
of one of his classes. A real need
of State college is a thought pro-
voking course that is not con-
nected with our major or minor
or a professional course but
rather one that is solely there
to make us think. If we could
but get a general working back-
ground of philosophy to use in
our thought trains we think we'd
get by all right when this ex-
treme case of thinking arises.
The trouble with us {s that so
very few of us ever really give
good solid time on thinking of
our own problems. We accept
the vital facts handed us by our
friends, family and faculty with
Uttle attempt to test these ideas.
We say that we're skeptics and
yet invariably the only thing
that we're skeptical about is our
own ability to be skeptical. I
really believe that a course sup-
ervised by the right faculty
member and coming during one
semester of our freshman year
would mean that n student at
State would be more mature at
the beginning of his sophomore
year and also he'd be better ad-
justed to the world of teaching
when he graduates,
Enough of the serious—we've
heard that some of the freshmen
have been thinking of our pro-
posal of last week that they
sponsor a tea dance or an in-

John O'Brien stressed the fact
that if the men at State don't show
intramural sports, as is presented,
will be a total flop.
At the meeting there were a total
of ten men present. This number
will not suffice to carry out the
practical program offered the men
in intramural sports.
In the past the men have com-
plained that M, A. A, and Intra-
mural council didn’t offer them a
full sports program. Now, when a
varied program Is offered them, they

Because of the fact that there
seem to be more group house spirit
shown in intramural sports than is
shown by any individual spirit,
M, A. A, plans to conduct a meeting

next week.
M, A. A. believes that in this way
the plans of the Winter intramurals
will be a success for the men.
At last Monday's meeting some ad-
ditional plans for swimming were an-
nounced, Every Wednesday the pub-
lic baths at Ontario and Central will
be opened to the men free with the
nominal fee of ten cents for towel
and soap.
At the present, twelve have signed
up for the swimming. A manager in
charge of this program will be ap-
pointed by M, A. A, from those who
show interest.
During the week, there will be a

Brubacher to Speak
In Assembly Today
This morning's assembly will fea-
ture a discussion by Dr. A, R. Bru-
bacher, president of the college, ac-
cording to the announcement made
by Warren I, Densmore, president
of the student association
Dr. Brubacher will speak about
‘the extension to a five year pro-
gram and its general implication to
the general college ewriculum and
administration.” At this time Dr.
Brubacher will attempt to clarify
questions which have been in the
student's mind since November when
the first news of a five year program
was given to the student body.
Dr. Brubacher's address will be
the first official release of any in-
formation concerning the new pro-
gram given to the student body, The
student body has, however, heard
many rumors which will either be
affirmed or denied in this morning's
assembly
