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

NYA Students Must
File Correct Reports
Students who are employed by the
N. 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).

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.

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."

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.
Meetings have already been held
with all the girls who are in charge of
the honorary student organizations
aiding in gathering the money. 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. It
was decided at this meeting to begin
the alumni and faculty drive Friday
morning, this department handled
through form letters to be sent to
all alumni of the University. 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.
Any persons who wish to make their
contributions before the drive begins

1 On Preparation For Law
Member Of The Bar Emphasizes
Need For Cultural Back
ground
i The Honorable Douglas McKay,
- member of the Columbia bar, was
I guest speaker at the meeting of the
y Euphradian Literary Society Tuesday
night, October 22, using as his sub
ject "Preparing for the Bar." 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.
