Football vs.
Baseball
Tomorrow the World's Series begins, the opening guns of the football season have already been fired. Once again the famous argument on the respective popularity of the world's two most popular sports comes before the publie.
For decades, baseball has been called "America's favorite game," but in the past few years, most sports pages bear witness to the strong competition that football teams are putting up to attract the sports-loving crowds. Notre Dame opened its season with Purdue last Saturday with the largest attendance ever witnessed at an opening game in Notre Dame football history.
The question is whether or not the usual huge crowd will wait a day and a night in line for tickets to the 1939 World's Series; will baseball remain the chief relaxation for tired business men. In recent years, the size of crowds at the first game of the World Series has slipped in comparison with the opening football games each season.
All signs seem to point to the fact that football has made a definite gain in popularity among the people of America. There is no doubt that if large football games were played in the same stadiums that the big-time baseball games are played, the crowds would tally in size. Football is worked on an amateur collegiate basis which makes comparison with a professional commercialized sport rather difficult.
As far as University interest is concerned the two major sports are football and basketball with baseball merely one of a group of spring sports.
Neutrality,
Dream or Actuality?
The argument against the present embargo on munitions, based on an assumed unfairness to the allies at the same time that it helps Hitler, is without grounds. This argument decries that we must treat both Germany and her opposition alike as far as the supply of materials of war is concerned. The benefits we have must be distributed evenly to those who can use them; hence, the arms embargo is unneutral since it is to the advantage of one side, to the hindrance of the other. This is more rhetoric, an argument without the knowledge of such factors as international law, diplomatic practice, and neutrality rights.
In the first place, any country which expects to derive benefits from America must have several elements strictly to her advantage; 1) a favorable geological position; 2) strength of arms both land and sea; 3) ability to come to our ports and get the desired goods; 4) ability to pay for those goods and return home. The items mentioned serve to show that under American neutrality one country is bound to benefit more than another. American neutrality has never, nor can it ever possibly, mean equality in profit to every warring nations which could use its services.
The President declared in his Proclamation of Neutrality Sept. 5 that "The United States is on terms of friendship and amity with the contending powers." This could not possibly be so if he was speaking for the American people. The large majority of Americans, as shown clearly by recent polls, despise Hitler and his despotic regime and nothing in American neutrality laws forbids such an attitude.
Neutral nations have the right to sell arms to belligerents by decree of international law, but the exercise of this right is dependent upon legislation by its governing body, by Congress in the United States. Hence, the embargo on the sale of munitions to warring nations by the 1937 Neutrality Act is not "unneutral." as legislation. The act was passed before the nations went to war at a time when the United States was not propagandized to any extent. All governments recognize the right of any independent government to enact such legislation, and every government has the power to regulate its own commerce in the way it sees fit. If the United States feels it is necessary to ban the shipment of arms that action is solely the business of this government.
Under the neutrality Act the United States, by right of international law, practice, and history, sets up three tenets as to her actions: (1) this government, for the time being, will take no part in the actual warfare; (2) the U.S. will assure the belligerents that the duties of a neutral will be adhered to by this government and persons under it; (3) the U.S. will claim certain rights as a neutral.
As to the latter point; we do not know exactly what rights America will assert. At present, they are not closely defined, but they may range from action by the President in tendering his office for arbitration to legislation concerning the shipment of arms. These rights will be made more definite as time passes.
Peace must certainly have its price. The
American people would do well not to speak lightly and unguardedly about America's neutral rights over nations engaged in a war.

To the Editor:
I'm in favor of independent student organizing, and I believe the LS.A. is probably an asset, political and social, and especially to the organizers of the party, but why should the Men's Student Council donate $100 to
The M.S.C. does not give funds to the Greek groups, so why should it pay off its Barb voters? Activity funds are used by the Council, and those funds are contributed not only by LSA. members, and security and fraternity members, but by unorganized students. In the name of fairness to the student body as a whole, why should campus funds be used to buy uniforms for LSA. members? Why should these funds be used to its members like every other organization does?

Four Women Get Practical Training in Model Home
Four University women recently changed their address. No, the dean of women didn't tell them to. It's all a part of their education.
Each semester, two groups of four women enrolled in the home management course move into the house for a period of six weeks. Each has her own duties and work is divided into four divisions, the cook, the assistant cook, the bookkeeper, and the housekeeper.
There's a little white six-room house behind and below Blake haul that is known as the Home Management house. Built in 1930 to give senior home economics majors some practical experience in managing a home, it has been used each term since that time.
The cook and her assistant plan the meals, keeping within a moderate budget and providing a balanced diet. The bookkeeper watches the financial side of the house, keeping bills paid and budgeting the money available. The housekeeper makes the beds, dusts the furniture, and does other miscellaneous work around the house.
