Join the War Against Syphilis
The United States is fighting a war. Not as in 1918 by the mobilization of men or the erection of barracks but rather by the assembling of modern medical equipment and services to cope with a domestic enemy. The war is against syphilis. The commander-in-chief is Dr. Thomas Parran, surgeon of the United States health service. It is not an undeclared war—the dissemination of all information concerning the disease is vital to the success of the campaign.
As an enemy, syphilis has no equal and there are no Gold Star for the mothers of its victims nor decorations for bravery of those it lays low. It is the greatest contributing factor in filling our state institutions. Its toll is insanity, blindness, disability, and death.
Last year the University Health Service joined the national fight to overcome the disease by providing for blood tests for University students. Wassermann tests were given to fifteen hundred students. Arrangements for their treatment were made immediately. It meant the saving of five persons to society
This year when physical examinations were given to new students, the Wassermann test was available to those who chose to take it. Eight hundred new students elected to take the test. Of this eight hundred, two cases of syphilis were found.
No one can be certain they are free of syphilis until they have taken the blood test. It is offered here under the best possible circumstances and is free to every student.
Did Sumner Wells Suggest An American League of Nations?
Warning the world that the United States will not only defend itself, but is preparing to keep the entire western hemisphere safe from any threatened attack, Summer Wells' speech Sunday indicated that inter-American ties will be strengthened. Since the International Conference of American States is to convene at Lima, Peru December 9, stronger Pan Americanism may be the direct answer to Hitler's aggressiveness, reasserted in his verbal dressing down administered to democracies Sunday, and Britain's apparent fascist tendencies.
Spanning a full half century, the first such meeting of American states was held in Washington in 1859 mainly through the initiative of Secretary of State James G. Blaire. Throughout the five conferences held before 1933, the traditional North American approach to the conference table has been in terms of economic and commercial advantages and that of Latin American countries has been largely political
When the 1928 conference was called to order at Havana, the United States was involved with South American neighbors on at least six fronts. American marines were fighting General Sandino's irregular troops in Nicaragua, treaties dictated commercial terms to Cuba, Haiti, and Santo Domingo. There was trouble with Mexico because of the land and oil law controversy, and treaty negotiations were under way with Panama.
Although the last two items still demand clarification, the United States opened an entire new chapter in Pan American relationships at the Montevideo conference in 1933. The Good Neighbor policy was tentatively introduced by the Hoover government and has been enthusiastically adopted by the succeedi n g administration. Three years later at Buenos Aires, President Roosevelt assured further reversal of the United States' interventionist policy in the Carribean.
Summer Wells said the conference, December 8, would be important in view of the ugly war scare this fall. Other factors also suggest a common policy for the New World. Among them is Latin America's gradual retreat from Geneva and the recent backfire of Italian and German propaganda in South American states.
With collapse of collective security in Europe, the moment may be at hand for strengthening political ties in the Americas. Ancestry of the idea for an American League of Nations goes back to Bolivar himself. President Wilson and Colonel House entertained the suggestion in 1914 and 1915 and Baltasar Brum, former president of Uruguay, vigorously propagated the idea which was actually introduced into the Fifth Conference in 1923.
Although formerly marked by failure, now, as suggested by Summer Wells, may be the propitious time to solidify Anglo Saxon and Latin America into some sort of international guarantee.
Hutchins' Criticisms Not To Be Taken Lightly
Throwing down the guantlet has been the chief occupation of Chicago University's Robert Hutchins the last few years, and it is not
surprising that he left a blazing one in front of the Hoch Auditorium rostrum last week. His analogies were apt and his phrases stinging. The four "cults" he chose to describe must have squirmed under his keen attack.
It may be questioned with reason, whether his speech accomplished any more than that. The gauntlet seems to have been flung down without benefit of much explanation. But probably he intended his speech to be understood against the background of achievement recorded at Chicago University.
Dr. Hutchins is not one to undertake lightly the project of gauntlet-flinging. Such action, for him, is a deliberate one, based on a lifetime of consideration. And he has reached national prominence by the vigor of his ideas. He has strong support among thinking educators everywhere. One may reflect at considerable length before venturing to interpret his remarks—certainly it would be wasteful to cast them off hastily as either "backward" or "radical."
In general, his thesis is that education is not doing its job; that it needs to be reorganized and unified into a more effective whole. He wants to apply logic to the problem, rather than accepting tradition without criticism.
Though it is difficult to agree with all of his sweeping assertions, his charges cannot be gainsaid in one field: the college of liberal arts. Every liberal arts student can look into his own experience and find there many instances of dissatisfaction and doubt. There is no unity. There is no efficiency. There is, fortunately, little actual pretense that a graduate will possess a "liberal background."
This is more than a mere "feeling" on the part of the students. It is no revolutionary thesis. It is corroborated by thoughtful administrators. The University Senate made a similar investigation which pointed to similar conclusions. The Carnegie foundation recently made scientific tests in Pennsylvania and the results were embarrassing even to those acquainted with the conditions.
The possession of a college education today means less than it ever did. The charges of inefficiency, disunity, and waste are not wild charges but point to an admitted need for farflung change. That Dr. Hutchins threw down the gauntlet is not enough. It should be taken up.

notes 'n discords
My, how my files. Just two years ago we cast our first vote for president. So certain were we that the millennium was at hand that we could mobilize and secure the power of Capitalism" in order to share more widely in the more abundant life.
Today, however, we are not so naive. We don't expect the millennium until late in 1940.
Thinking back, we are of the opinion that book publishers got away ith murder that year.
The wintry blasts of yesterday may have been, as the Star said, only a seep at winter, but they certainly elit like a double feature.
Then there was the student who wandered into the Homecoming Varsity Saturday night and left at interment. The student got a ticket to track by the beauty of the place.
Bill Fitzgerald, former Kansan sports writer, thinks there should be a red investigation at Haskell. Fitzgerald, who has done some interesting research on the subject, claims that the first red scare swept America right after the French and Indian war.
Leni Riefenstahl, German movie actress now on a visit in America, admits that she is Hitler's friend but "no, no, not his girl friend." Let's see. How many negatives does it take to make an affirmative?
