This crisis is not a sudden thing. The most gifted people in the world have been predicting it for a num ber of years. Henry Adams, in 1898, wrote to his brother and pre dicted such a happening. He said that everything in Europe was in a state of change. Miss Thompson went on to say, "This crisis of the west has been greatly accelerated by two world wars." She feels that the peace arrangements made after the wars also contributed to the disintegra tion of Europe. Americans are an impatient peo ple and the United States took the lead in World War I in raising the banner of self-determination of nationalities. As a result of it, we broke up Austria-Hungary, one of the great states of the time. After the first world war there was an enormous weakening of Europe, and France and Germany refused to reconcile themselves. Beside wars, there were other things which contributed. Western man was a revolutionary force. Western man brought his own eas of freedom, whether he anted .to or not. As all the na tions trained administrators, they sent their sons to be educated and they brought back the Western ideas of freedom. The desire of Asia for self-gov ernment was a natural result. It would have been well if it had een, postponed, but it was accelerated. It is a fundamental revolution. The Communists have . actually only taken advantage -of seeing what was going to happen and aiding it. Miss Thompson feels that we should talise that the_ Bolsheviks came into power as the only peace party at that thpe. The revolt of Asia was inevitable. It was a re volt against western rule and west ern man. There is another revolution, that of the industrial workers, which is not to say that they are Com munists, because very few of them are. Their demands for an equal say in society is logical. She emphatically declared, "The American mission is to abolish the proletariat." The Communists have discerned these things. "The time we are in now is the time the United States emerges as the great power In the west, the only power i the west, the only nation in the west, except possibly Germany, with surplus energy." )iscusses le West' s Barker s of the west ?" asked Dorothy ournalist, while speaking in t 10 a. m. western civilization was born lediterranean in Greece. With Student Council Proposes New Football Plan. The Student Council has sub mitted requests and recommenda tions on the football ticket situation to the Athletic Committee of the Board of Trustees. They recommend first: that each student be admitted to football games by a single student activities card with his seat number based on class standing (seniors nearest the fifty yard line) stamped on it. The council believes that the ticket office should have rosters pre pared by the Machine records of flee indicatiing the class standing of each student. This will prevent lower classmen from obtaining seats reserved for upper classmen. Second: That students desiring to purchase season date tickets have two adjoining seat numbers stamped on their cards. Third: That the picture of each student be on his activities, card. Fourth: That as many date tickets as possible be alloted to the students. The advantages of this plan would be to eliminate. scalping. Students taught- epngewold lose admission privileges to the remainder of games. It would also eliminate non-students from the student section. The cost of producing cards would be reduced as it would eliminate the book which has been used with the card. The photo of each student could be used for the "Garnet and Black," files of the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women, and the University News Service. The cost will be shared and the price will be nominal be cause of the quantity.
