O., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1935 Founded 1908 College Et Denot In Editorial Comments Italo-Ethiopian Conflict Chief Sub jects of Discussion During Past Weeks (By Associated Collegiate Press) Armed with a complete understanding of the origins of war, and of the methods used to embroil the United States in the last great war, American college editors are giving notice that they will not be so easily led into rah-rah jingoism in the event of future conflict. Probably no news event of the last few years has received the attention being given Italo-Ethiopian dispute by the Col lege press, and a count made by the Asso ciated Collegiate Press shows that de nunciation of war has been the No. 1 subject for editorial comment for the past several weeks. Daily Herald Speaks "With the Italian-Ethiopian conflict well under way and war and devastation following in the wake of the Italian ad vzince," says The Brown Daily Herald, "it is noticeable that as' yet there has been little propagander in the way of pictures, feature articles and editorials which are aimed at turning American opinion and emotions one way or the other. "Although very early for such an affair, there are no posters showing mothers with babes at their breasts being stabbed by bayonets or any of the similar rot which was prevalent during the early (Continued on Page 5; Column 4) -U. e. 0.

Y. A. are asked to be careful in filling out their time reports. It is very necessary that these reports be filled correctly, and that they be turned in promptly by 1:00 o'clock each Monday and by 5:00 o'clock on the last day of the fiscal month which comes on the 12th, according to M. D. Arant, chief clerk. Particular care should be given to fractions of hours. Students are ad vised not to report fractions of hours, as all time reports containing mistakes will be turned down and sent back to the employe in the future. However, if it is absolutely necessary to report fractional parts of hours, decimals should be used and the fraction should be recorded to the nearest tenth part of the hour. Thus, 50 minutes would not' be reported as 5/8 of an hour, but as 0.8. Decimal fractions should always carry the zero preceding the. .decimal point in the manner above (not likre this:.8). litors mnce War Query Is Announced Council Elects Officers Query For This Year Will Con cern Power Of Congress And Supreme Court The query for debate in all colleges of the United States, as announced this week by Pi Kappa Delta, national honor ary debaters fraternity, is: Resolved: That Congress should have the power to override, by a two-thirds majority vote, the decisions of the Su preme Court declaring laws passed by Congress unconstitutional. Tryouts for the local team will be held early in December, according to Bruce Littlejohn, ex-chairman of 'the University Debating Council. Work on the debating schedule will be started im mediately, with a view to carding such schools as Harvard, Yale, and Oxford. Representatives of the latter university will make a tour of the United States this season. Sam Cleland of Mountville, and Frank Jordan of Columbia, were elected chair man and secretary-treasurer of the coun cil, respectively, at a recent meeting. Cle land is a member of the Clariosophic Society, while Jordan is a member of the Euphradian Society. When the national query for debate was first chosen widespread protest to the wording was voiced, and a change was requested. After reconsidering, the committee voted unanimously to let the wording remain as proposed. The query is selected by a vote of all chapters of Pi Kappa Delta, of which there are ap proximately 140. Negotiations were instituted last year by Bruce Littlejohn to secure a chapter for the University. -U."U.s. Morse Discusses Parental Thinking To Orangeburg P.T. A. Professor Wonders If All Parents Are Human Beings Are parents human beings? Dr. Josiah Morse, professor of Psy chology and Philosophy at the Uni versity, recently discussed this ques tion before a meeting of the P. T. A. in Orangeburg. "Whether or not we call parents human beings," Dr. Morse declared, "depends on how we define human be ings. If they are creatures that walk upon two legs, parents may qualify, but ducks and geese also walk on two legs. Obviously they must be more than creatures who can talk, because p)arrots can do that. In a cynical mood we might define humans as those beings wvho are proud, hut the simple peacock equals them there. "It becomes necessary then to say that human beings are those that think logically -and rationally. Here is where a great many parents fail to come up to specifications. It is sur prising how many intelligent people, people who conduct their business along the soundest and most nmodern lines, fail altogether as parents. "The trouble is this-in business or professions these intelligent people think rationally, but when they deal with children they think emotionally. This leads to grave errors and mis takes that make it obvious to all but the parents that the child is being dealt with in the wrong manner. If the parent thinks only in an emotional wvay of his children, he is almost sure to dleal with them too leniently or too harshly. "Trhe most turgent need in the home, then, is that parents teach themselves to think of their children in the logical manner in which they consider other problems," Dr. Morse concluded. "When all fathers and mothers do this, they may look upon themselves as beingr full-fledged husman." KSK To Be Pool C Fraternity Plans To Make Concenti Alumni With One Dollar Ai To Be In Gam The student drive led by KSK for swimming pool funds will open Mon day, according to John Mozingo, chair man of the committee in charge of col lecting the necessary funds.

Di rectors of the drive have decided to make The Gamecock office the general campaign headquarters, and respon sible persons will be in the office from 10 'til 12 and 2 'til 4 every day. The final meeting before the drive was hel last night in the Law Building for last minute perfection of plans be fore the real campaign begins.

Each student will be asked to give at least one dollar. The Gamecock will print each week a list of all contributors, alumni and students. It has also been planned to give permanent recognition to all don ors, in a manner not yet definitely decided on by the committee. Dr. Baker has given KSK permission to guarantee swimming privileges to all faculty, alumni, and students who fi nancially assist the cause.

Mem b hers of the Clariosophic Society were , present as guests of the Euphradians. - The speaker emphasized the need of l a good cultural background before be e ginning the study of law, and urged - aspirants to the legal profession to acquaint themselves with the use of the typewriter and master either a conventional or an original system of shorthand. He said that these things afforded unlimited convenience in both the court room and the office, v The occasion grew out of a resolu e tion proposed in the hall, October 15 e by Walter Solomon, law school senior from Charleston. Upon adoption of the resolution by the society, the pies ident, Clyde M. Gaffney, appointed a s committee composed of Mr. Solomon, s Donovan Ham, and Bratton Davis tc _ execute the provisions of the act by obtaining guest speakers either from - the faculty of the law school or from - the Columbia bar. Two new members were initiated into the society. They are Frank B Woodruff and Irvine Welling. A resolution was offered that the society "look with ricfavor non the using of armed forces by any public r officer to further his position in per sonal grievances." After bitter dis cussion the resolution was rejected. Carolina To-day By Hunt Graham Economy The best part about the Fair was the choice hot dogs. and hamburgers which were so tenderly cooked and sold at such reasonable prices. Twc d University students were only charged 90c for two hamburgers and a dope Now where could one find a place any - cheaper? After the two suckers had paid Y their bill, one of the more enterpriz r ing asked: Y "When are yotu going to move outi e WVe just bought the place." Good Losers Cheering at the Erskine game was far superior to that of the Clemson massacre on the part of Carolina students despite the fact that the cheer leaders worked just as hard during both frays. We y suggest that a rule be passed a whereby Carolina students only be s allowed to yell while winning. r This will eliminate us from the category of hard losers. Tort .
