From that window we could read the in scribed words: "For Liberty and World Peace." It seemed to us that instead of that high sounding cliche, there should have been chis eled these words in the fashioned stone: "For Hitler and Hell On Earth." It is a boundless shame that those for whom the monument was constructed were betrayed by others and themselves. The next time we hear some loud mouthed, myopic gentleman in a black top hat bark supposedly noble senti ments we will remember the monument and the futility. Losing Money? Callcott Finds Out Some Things Among the most novel adventures ever taken into the decimal pointed realm of statistics was that of Professor W. H. Callcott of the Uni versity's history department. Before we proceed with the dynamic details it is proper to mention that Callcott is not addicted to statistics, not one who reduces the course of human events to cold ratios. In fact, he is an author of note-and therefore a good reporter-who has written a boisterous bi ugrapihy of "unt Aimi, Cl famous lKlex ican general. But, in the role of statistician, Callcott this week proved that each Carolina student pays $1.30 admission fee for every class he attends -or is supposed to attend. For further details on how Callcott arrived- at this figure we refer you to page one of this issue. Of course, what the professor was attempt ing to prove was that the students lost plenty of mazuma by cutting classes. Inveterate "cut ters" were probably amazed to read about their financial loss, and probably gloated over the fact that no system of rebate is available here. By cutting one of Professor Callcott's classes the student perhaps loses more than money; he misses fifty minutes of life and blood history, almost as interesting as a dime novel. Callcott has the right to bring up the monetary value involved because he gives the students their money's worth. But some professors do not. And if you attend one of their classes you are paying a high rate for the popular privilege of slum bering between syllables. Lights At Last Let There Be Traffic Lights. Despite the fact that we are getting a college education, we are still very vulnerable to speed ing automobiles, especially those which roar through the streets adjacent to the University. So, it is with elation that we learned about the city's plan to finally erect traffic lights at intersections here. 'Where they are most needed are on Green Street, along which travel, at reckless speed, a myriad mob of Barney Old fields. Traffic lights are an essential, not a luxury -because human lives are involved. Press To Radio McGrath Leaves The Gamecock Today, for the last time, you can read the "Press Previews" of the garrulous Ed McGrath on the sports page. Ed* has resigned his post, for he is now a member of the announcing staff of the new Columbia radio station WCOS. Those who have enjoyed McGrath's 'comments on sports may continue to do so by giving the radio dial the right twist at the right time. The staff wishes Ed lots of luck in his new venture, and hopes his programs are never interfered with by- stral voices. Next week we will present the first -Qame cock sports column of thie. hatless Richard Frick. 14 .4iW\1SOMATICS~ . Sor.

RORM Entered as Parade Of Opinion (By Associated Collegiate Press) War A new note has entered the opening-of-the year editorials in the college press-a note that is ominous and fearful in contrast to the usual happy welcomings of other years. Al most without exception, first issues of the col lege newspapers for this school year chrry warnings to their readers to keep a weather eye on the war and diplomatic movements of the world, and to study with renewed interest the causes of war and the ways and means by which the United States can keep out of armed conflict. Many college editors are making good use of the analogy between our battles of the grid iron and Europe's battles on land, sea and air to point out the advantages of United States collegians over the youth of other lands. Here's how the University of Tulsa Collegian put it: "Today, students find bloodshed and heroes enough on the football field. Today, boys working their way through college as a result of the last war know that a war boom is a fickle, unstable thing. Today co-eds realize that glamourous uniformed troops lead to very unglamourous breadlines. Today, T. U. stu dents say flatly that they will refuse to fight." But, says the Gettysburg College Gettys burgian, "It is hopeless to expect that we can ignore the dangers of a widespread conflict even 3,000 miles away. . . But it is not necessary that we digest the specially prepared propa ganda directed at neutrals needed to help in the conflict. Let us keep our minds open, our hands clean, and our country free and neutral for the development of our own civilization." There is a general feeling among collegians that we must stay out of this war, come what may. The anti'-war oaths popular some two or three years ago seem to be cropping up anew. Listen to the University of Richmond, Col legian: "To the man who says we can't stay out of war, say: 'We owe nothing to Britain, and we have nothing to fear of Germany. We can stay out of war; we must stay out of war; we will stay out of war!" A second to this motion is made by the New Mexico State Teachers College Mustang: "We say, it's Europe's war, not ours!" And that seems to be the general collegiate opinion today. Neutrality United States college students-some 1,400, 000-strong-returned to classrooms and cam puses last month amid a loud chorus of wvarn ings and imnplorings. They were warned by the press and the presidents to maintain an openf and thinking attitude on the present European wvar. They were implored to use their every influence to keep the United States out of the war and to bend every energy to a sincere study of the world's problems and how they can be met. From the surveys that have appeared to date, it appears that the average collegian has heeded these warnings and these commands. He maintains that he does not want to go to war, that he wants the United States to remain neutral. But he seems to have no objection to the United States selling goods of all kinds to the warring nations, so long as it is on a cash and-carry basis. First real objection to the President's proposed neutrality act changes was made at St. John's University, where 050 students signed a letter to the Chief Executive protesting "a new partisan neutrality act with out first consulting the people through the medium of a referendum." This movement has not yet gained much headwvay. College newspaper editorial opinion, though about evenly divided, seems leaning toward the President's proposal that the neutrality act be changed to provide for sale of materials to belligerents that can pay for it and transport it from our shores. Whatever their position, most editorialists implore the issue to be divorced of politics, and ask that the legislators think calmly and sanely on the issue that may decide the future of our democracy, Most stronglyt do all editorials affirm the fact that United States collegians do not want to fight on a foreign soil, but thiey will bear arms if our own land is threatened. Just how strongly entrenched this belief Is wili be de termined in the dark days of propaganda that lin ahead.

This has been noticeable in this past issue and some issues last semester. When a man 's name is signed to a thing without his consent it is a pretty bad offense. Sometimes an innocent person is made to suffer, as in two instances to my knowledge in the past six issues of The Gamecock. The Gamecock is an agent of the University and the University is a part of the state and cannot be sued but somec of you may cost a "boss" considerable money in a law suit someday.

The place for comedy is in "Mus cdin' In" or some such column. If you are going to have it some place else you should fix it so that people will know that it is satire and not written by that person. A byline or a caption of some sort will be sufficient. It will be to your ad vantage to think of this in the fu ture, I believe. I'm not going to sign this, for one reason I don't want the pub licity and I think this is enough. I know and you know that these are satire but every one doesn't know it and just so you won't hurt an innocent person in the future and hurt yourselves, I wish you would take this little bit of meddling in your affairs.
