Experience Ha Of Student T John was bored with the inactivity on the University campus, so when his friend suggested that the two of them take in a movie, John agreed. John lost interest in the cinema and began inspecting the specimens of hu manity seated on every side. His lone liness was increased by the fact that sev eral of America's future homemakers were boldly displaying their affection for each other right there in the audience. His nosey ears picked up a familiar feminine giggle some three or four rows behind him. Turning to better observe the source of merriment, imagine his gitters when he beheld the smiling coun tenance of the only girl who had ever fallen for him-that is to say, the only one who had ever hit rock bottom. He was very much agitated over the in cident, and the fact that a rough, burly sort of a hunk of masculinity had his long arms draped over the back of the girl's seat lessened his curiosity no whit. It had been nearly a year since he had spoken to the girl, although at one time he had felt that each was made for the other. He was determined to learn more about her, find out what she was doing in town, and how long she was going to stay. "I wonder if she is married, or has fallen in love all over again, or some thing," he mused to himself, adding "well I'll never find out unless I make an effort." The maid glanced in Johns direction. His heart squeezed itself real hard, so hard in fact that it hurt.

Or maybe she wanted to avoid him. Or maybe she was afraid to make any advances, what with that oversized monster piled around her, and all John ground his teeth, screwed up his courage, contracted his eyebrows, and began mapping out a daring method of attack. "Now all I gotta do," he growled men tally," is to write her a note, wait for her in the lobby, shake hands with her when she comes out, at the same time passing the note to her. If she is as sensible as she used to be she won't open it then." When the full drama of the situation broke over his fumbling intellect, he smiled gleefully, feeling that for the first time in his life he was having an ex perience. "I want to see you, and talk to you. Call me tomorrow at 9 o'clock," the note read, once he had scrawled it on the back of an envelope. He stood in the lobby, waiting for the unsuspecting dam sel to appear. It was chilly. He was beginning to regret his crazy impulse. After all she might be married, sure enough. You see, he hadn't heard from her in nearly a year. One cigarette. Two cigarettes. Three cigarettes. All of them hit the tile floor, and still no lady in distress.

(ACP)-A question naire skirmish recently embroiled men and women on the University of Pennsylvania campus. The Daily Pennsylvanian started it by asking the men whether they preferred pretty girls or smart ones, slinky or fluffy evening dresses, and other questions of importance in higher education. The girls countered with a question naire for women students which began: "Do you like intelligent men or the typical college boy?" -U, . a.

O. one bad heard. 1-e felt rather useless, kinda out of place, standing there in the cold where everybody could so easily stare at him. Finally he tossed discretion onto Main street, and stalked right by the door keeper, dowvn the aisle, and plopped him self as loud as lhe could in the seat right behind the young lady. WVaiting for the moment when Romeo's anm wouldi be farthest from his old flame's coat collar, lhe slipped the note into her lap, almost dropping it down her neck in the act. Very calmly she opened it, saw she couldn't interpret it in the darkened theatre, and arose .to go outside. But John didn't knowv what she wvas ristig for, so lie very prudently made his escape, joiined his waiting friend on the street, and made for the campus, all the time having a creepy feeling that some one was just before inserting the shiny blade of a stilletto, or something, betwveen his shoulder blades. "What a fool I have made of my self," lie mentally whlined, "Nowv won't she just enjoy herself wvhen she reads that note, haughinig at that silly fellow wvho usedl to date her." It wvas wvithi this little comforting thought that he drifted into an uneasy slumber, in which innumerable girls, sur rounded him, pointing their fingers and smiling indulgently at the "simpleton." A few hours elapse. To be exact it is 8:45 the following morning. "Wake up boy, there's a long distance telephone call for you down stairs," John heard his roommate shouting into his ears. And then over the wire, a soft, cooing voice, "Hello darling, you don't know what a surprise it was to me last night when I saw that tlae note wvas from you. Of course I'm not married. Oh, him. Don't mind him, just a mere acquaintance. Listen, I have plans for us. Will write you a letter soon, and tell you all about it. "Goodbye." John is still waiting for the letter, and slowly reaching the conclusion that all girls are alike--one man's arms today, long distance necking spree with another the next. --U. U. 0.

No Desire to Fight "You can't get people to fight until you make them want to fight, says the Ric Thresher, Rice Institute publieation, "ant Clemson Host To Press Group With Clemson College acting as host, the South Carolina College Press association will hold its annual meet ing today and tomorrow. Represen tatives frohi practically every college paper in the state will be present. For the past two years, The Game cock has not been a member of the association and therefore will not send delegates to the convention. Winthrop College was the scene of last year's assembly. The student pa per, published at that college, won first place in the state-wide judging, which takes place every year. It is the custom that officers of the organization be elected from the staff of the paper whose school is host. Joe Kinard, editor The Tiycr, Clemson weekly, is president this year. The last nine years The Gamecock was in the organization it won first place in the state-wide contest. --V. B. a. you can't make them want to fight until they are hypnotized with brass bands and oratory and drugged with copious injec tions of propagander . . . behind a great war is a great mesmerist." There is a tendency for the American public to favor the under (log, the Caul dron, Fenn College (Ohio) student paper points out, and from sympathy for Ethiopia to hatred for Italy is only a little step. "From righteous indignation to violent condemnation is but a step ! From violent condemnation to war hysteria is still less !" "II Duce has chosen Ethiopia for the opening scene of his fascinating produc tion entitled, 'Death to All,' but like all fast moving productions this one will re quire a change of scene," says the Drexel Triangle. "More than likely it will en velope all of Europe." Eventually someone will recall the ex istence of the United States. This will be the signal for the propagandists to take the stage and momentarily steal the show. Having uttered a series of meaningless platitudes the propagandist will drop from view . . . his simple task will have been completed and cannon fodder . . . will have been provided. Our excuse for entering the war will be to make America safe for something or someone. The true reason will be to protect large American interests." Similar Attitude "In 1914 our relationship and attitude toward the militants of Central Europe (lid not differ greatly from those of to day," says the Middlebury Campus. "It is true that munitions makers have been highly publicized in recent months and that an embargo on the shipment of arms and munitions to belligerent nations has been established . . . But exporters are prepared to continue shipments, saying that they MAY demand cash in payment. Bankers are mumbling that MAYBE they will not lend much money abroad in this crises . . . For the meagre profit on goods exported to Italy which annually are valued at only 65 million dollars, and for the fewv pennies of usury collected by our money-changers, the United States must risk grave danger of becoming em broiled in another destructive and costly major war." Wait and See "Wait and see," counsels another stu dent writer. "Wait and see. WVar wvil conme again to our count ry. War-crazed beasts will beat the drums of hate; profit mad capitalists will shriek for the blood of the enemy; dlamnable lies and filth will be broadcast by organizedl propaganda agencies ;the press will join in the mania cal furor; special interest will seize upot the radio to drench the air with outraged indlignant demands ; the wealthy class wil make a great show of patriotism as iF AQr Clevei Shop1 BUD YTou'd r possilI Lall are< garmne 'd r es from. - woolemn 1620 MA] Page Five forces the millions of under-dogs to don uniforms and shoulder arms in the name of God, home, and country; the weak willed millions will again succumb to the mad hysteria of war, and, in a blazing crescendo of hate, another country plunges forth on the headlong rush down the mad road to war and oblivion." The Columbia Spectator, however, sounds a more cheerful note. "The American anti-war movement was never stronger than it is today," says a Specta tor editorial. And . . . its pressure is being felt at Washington. Still, a further revitalization of the student anti-war movement, around this and other issues forced upon the American people by the constant threat of another world catas trophe, remains an urgent necessity." -v. s. 0.
