For I.S.A.?
Why should 4,700 students take money out of their own pockets to pay for the amusement of a social organization of some 600 to 800 members?
Last year the Independent Student Association received $300 from a reserve fund administered by the Central Activities Committee. It received an add'l $100 from the Men's Student Council this semester to buy intramural equipment for members of the L.S.A. At present the organization is seeking $112.50 from either the reserve fund or the M.S.C. to purchase more equipment for its basketball-playing members.
Money for the reserve fund and that of the M.S.C. comes from the sale of activity books sold to all regularly enrolled students. As a result, whether you belong to the L.S.A. or not, your money helps to buy amusement for its members.
When it received the $100 from the M.S.C,
this fall the L.S.A. agreed to match every donated dollar with one of its own in expending money for the intramural equipment. The L.S.A. has spent all of the M.S.C. money for touchfoot equipment and only $20 of its own. That simply isn't cricket.
The I.S.A has declared itself to be a social organization. To quote Louis Fockele, last year's president of the organization: "The I.S.A is an organization the purpose of which is to improve the social relationships and activities of independent students." Since it is a social organization representing a minority of the campus and similar in structure to various clubs, sororities and fraternities, no good reason can be found why non-members should contribute to the social amusement of I.S.A members other than to lend them moral support for their worthwhile cause.
Giving the independent group money while excluding other social organizations from the same mama is inequitable. Let it, as the rest, stand on its own feet and pay its own way, beholden to no power that happens to be doing out the cash.
Easy Money And Chumps
The football parlay racket reaches a new peak each fall with the system concentrating on collegiate gamblers. The proverbially broke college man is always looking for some extra money, and the chatter of the middlemen students attracts his quarters and dollars.
It is an easy matter for big-city gamblers to persuade students to pass around among their campus-mates these "pick-em" cards and parlays. These local middlemen receive their small cut for doing the distribution and collecting work. All of the betting games are not of outside origin; some canny students have started up their own betting cards and are pocketing the profit, thus keeping University student money in the University circle.
Football pools present a gambling problem second only to ready money betting on the street. It is well-known that credit-betting is allowed in circumstances when ready money betting is forbidden.
Football pool: being conducted on a credit basis plan and through a centrally located post, come under the lenient laws of credit betting. They are not lotteries because lotteries in law must depend wholly upon chance and the football coupon-sender, selects certain teams as winners, exercising a choice which assumes a certain skill or knowledge.
Sums as low as 25 cents may be bet, and the operators who retain 10 or even 20 per cent of the money can afford to be scrupulously honest—their profits are enormous.
The football pools, described as football's newest by-product, play an increasingly important part in the life among students. The quoted odds are terribly against the picker and even if per chance he or she did win, what legal action would they have to collect winnings? In England it was estimated that football pools take about 20 million pounds a year, and in America $2,000,000 changes hands every week in these pools. But neither England nor America has done anything about this wholesale robbery.
The problem that confronts the University officials is how to keep these contact men from making stooges out of the middlemen students, and to warn the students against making chumps out of themselves.

International Policemen
Uncle Sam's trouble-shooters, the U.S. Marines, paused last week in their busy schedule to observe the 164th anniversary of a highly dramatic career. These swashbuckling "leather necks," as they have been good-natured dubbed, have been America's nearest romantic approach to France's famed French Foreign
Legion, England's rampant Royal Air Force, or Russia's colorful Cossacks.
They are truly international policemen. During the long years of their existence there has hardly been a year in which the soldiers of the sea have not carried Old Glory ashore in the name of Uncle Sam, either to protect American lives and property or to carry out some sort of naval enterprise backed by our government. Without a more than fair knowledge of geography it is hard to comprehend the out-of-the-way places of the world where the marines have served. A few of the outpost scenes of operation have been: Japan, China, Korea, Abyssinia, Sumatra, Tripoli, Egypt, and the Marquesas and Fiji islands. Nearer home they have taken over "situations" in nearly all the Latin American states and islands.
The marines' duties have been nearly as varied as their travels. Besides serving on both land an sea during the six wars our nation has waged, these gallant leather necks have suppressed piracy, built and captured troops, quelled revolutions, preserved order in times of disaster, punished savages, and helped in the building of the Panama canal.
Uniforms have kept pace with this colorful history. When this military unit was first organized during the American revolution its red and green coats, light colored breeches, and buckled shoes made a brilliant picture among the more somber clad continentals. A little later leather stocks were adopted to be worn about their necks, and a distinctive touch that led to the nickname, "leather necks." Off and on through their gallant period of service these men have clad themselves in red, green, blue, grey, gold, khaki, and various shades and combinations of the same.
Here's a salute to these globe-trotting soldier-policemen. A care-free lot that seems to have so much fun in a messy military world. A chivalrous band of knights, who use machine guns and rifles rather than lances and spears.

ON THE OFF B-E-A-T

Campus note: The Shack's new electric clock is gone because it didn't go.
The French war ministry issued a two-word communiqué yesterday it was "Quiet night". The censors simply have no noise for news.
This department has been unable to confirm the rumor that a police officer is stopping student speeders and asking; "Where do you think you're going—to the Phi Deit house?"
A record among the smaller countries has been set by Finland, Belgium, and the Netherlands. They have been figuring in the news lately and they still exist as distinct entities, too.

Posture, 1822-1895, of France probably did more for humanity in combating diseases than any other man. He laid the foundation of modern stereo-chemistry, and saved France thousands of dollars through his successful experiments with silk yarn, silkworm oil, and wine. His greatest achievements were the triumphs over anthrax and hydrophobia.
Crookes, 1822, 1919, discovered thallium, separated uranium -x, invented the radio-meter, and the Crookes tube, a high vacuum tube in which he studied the cathode rays. Besides being knighted Crookes held the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1907, received the order of the merit, and was president of the Royal Society.
