Cheers and Then Jeers
"Ninety-odd pieces playing at the wrong time." That is practically all we got from the University band at the first football game Saturday.
Not long ago there appeared in this column an editorial complimenting the band on its growth, appearance and musical technique. We still believe that the band is a great asset to the University. But there is a right and wrong time for it to play at a football game. For example:
Over the public address system there came an announcement of the mile race between Cunningham, Lovelock, San Ramani, etc. The runners were bunched, the final drive was on, when suddenly Professor W. raises his baton and music from the band draws out all other sound. Then again Bill Townsley head leader, announces a yell to the student body. He raises his hands, fills his lungs and lo and behold the strains of an overture float across the football field. Numerous times announcements from the loud speaker, of interest to the fans gathered, were completely blotted out by the band.
We feel that the cheerleaders, the announcer of the public adress system and the band should work out some plan whereby each shall appear in their turn. Perhaps it is not necessary for each to perform every time play is stopped. Maybe a list of things that might happen on the field could be made out and when one of them happened the agency designated to perform at that time could carry on. That is, say for example, one of the players is injured and is carried from the field this would be a fitting time for the band to strike up a march or a dirge as the case may be.
In all seriousness, thinking only of the students and the other football fans present we ask that some cooperative班 be installed to lessen the confusion that arises when three separate agencies of a football game try to go through with their act at the same time.
Scene I. Same Old Act
The curtain has gone up on the semi-annual comedy of nations. The first scene, now being acted, reveals the newspapers printing the sad tale of the United States government sending out war debt bills to defaulting nations. A list of these nations is included with the amount each is behind. A hot and bothered editorial comments nastily on the devious ways of foreigners, with the exception, of course, of honest little Finland who always comes across. This particular scene is becoming traditional.
However, the rest of the play has been rewritten slightly this year and is funnier than usual. A brief synopsis is in order. In the first place, some of the nations are in the market for another loan. Italy needs money to carry on her missionary work in Ethiopia. France is reported to be in the market for a billion dollars. For this reason, these countries may come out with some proposal for reducing their debt. (Observe that this "reducing" of the debt does not contain any promises for paying anything on it, and is merely to show us they are still thinking about us.)
At any rate, it will be fun to take seats in the gallery and watch the plot work itself out to its inevitably fruitless end.
Be as that may, the really humorous thing about the whole affair is that we couldn't lend them any money if we wanted to. In 1934, Congress put a curb on our inate generosity by passing an act that no citizen or the country as a whole could loan money to a defaulting nation.
There is not the element of tragedy in this which some might expect to find. Those who worry about what may happen to the poor starving French and Italians whom we are depriving of bread, should save their tears. They have only to go to the movies and see a news-reel, to realize that these poverty-striken individuals would never see a soa or a lira of anything we might loan them. It would be necessary to use this money to build beautiful new airplanes to carry bigger and better bombs; to construct huge new cannon; to manufacture little round hand grenades, etc., etc.
We Pat Our Back
This week the Hullabaloo was chosen, along with 23 other college publications, for the honor of exchanging papers with the U. C. Tait School of Journalism. Capteo Kape at the tip of South Africa.
Not wanting to brag but feeling that we have a right to be proud since we are among the 23 college publications chosen to exchange papers with the U. C. Tattle, published at Cape Town, South Africa, we give you this item from the Tulane Hullababoo which expresses our sentiment.
When you consider the vast number of college papers which must be published in the United States each week, you will realize why the Hullabaloo feels a little flattered.
And when you consider the number of universities in the United States, you realize that Tulane University itself should be proud. For the selection wasn't based on the quality of the newspaper alone, but also on the type of university of the university from which it emanated.
No, we don't care to brag. But we do feel (and we think, really) proud.
Strikers-Aged 14
Three stories of children on strike were carried in a recent issue of the New York Times. The reports were date-lined from Carapbell, Ohio; Jasper, Ala.; and the Bronx, in New York, three widely separated locales.
A close reader of the papers knows that the above cases are typical of marty others throughout the country. The cause usually listed is that of the removal of a favorite teacher or superintendent. But the immediate cause is relatively unimportant. It is the methods of dealing with such cases that should hold our attention.
These methods range from the reasonable to the near insane. Some authorities are willing to investigate the strikers' claims or at least try to explain their own position, in the matter, but others are not so sensible.
In the Campbell, Ohio, case, tear gas bombs were hurled at the assembled students by the police. It would be a logical course for patrons who are eager to suppress. Communism to arrest these officers of the law. Communist agitators. There is no better way to make Communists out of children than by treating them as criminals. Boys and girls who have no theory of government will form one when the first fumes of gas hit their nostrils.
In the Bronx case, the superintendent said "persistance in strike will mean prosecution for truancy." and he added, "It's just a routine thing with us."
That attitude is almost as bad as throwing tear gas. A similar state of mind led to the French Revolution. It is not a routine thing and it presupposes that children are animals, not individual human beings, and that they can be trained to jump through the hoop although it may be necessary to crack the whip once in awhile.
As the number of cases increase, people will begin to get panicky and do something drastic. This will be unfortunate. A sense of justice is the only weapon that is necessary in such circumstances.
As we indicated those were the days when confidence men operated as such and took the risks. Now they've gone into politics and all the risks are taken by the taxpayers.

Fires Have Played Important Part in History of Fowler Shops
That long low building with its swinging doors which you pass most every day on the campus isn't a nauton, it's Fowler Books. To most of us it's just another building and just what we is or about its history, we're a built in
By Rob Richardson, c.37
Besides honoring the Division of Military Science and Tactics, Fowler has a complete metal working shop, a patented piece of equipment, several classroom and a locker room. There incipient engineers learn the practical side of metal working and the technical side of the machine.
Until 1803, the engineering shops were in the powerhouse. When the powerhouse was destroyed by fire, incidentally giving the University a near two weeks vacation for lack of heat and power, it was decided to make a separate shop building. George A. Fowler, a Kansas City parkger gave him permission to construct the new shops to be ramed in honor of his father.
The building with some 4,000 feet of floor space was equipped with new machinery purchased out of a $25,000 loan made by citizens of Lawrence and Kansas City. The new shops added to the campus' prestige of the Engineering School.
On May 9, 1918, just three weeks before the building was to be turned

Republicans, Democrats, Socialists, Liberals, or what have you. All can be found on the University campus. No matter what may be your political, social or economic belief you can find a few like you on the campus, who are always ready to band together and form an organization of some kind. Students meeting in clubs than having a lot of embryo Stallus, Thomas, Landons, or Rosewood standing on sox boxes along the streets of the Campus shouting their wares at the top of their voices.
Not so long ago we were wondering what had become of the Liberal Club, those gentlemen who last year displayed what some of us termed a "slightly reddish hue." We note now that some of their membership has carried over into a new organization or made a new name. The American Student Union. Five points are embodied in the program of this organization, namely; a definitely non-political stand against war, fighting enforced military training and such organizations as the R.O.T.C.; opposition to any racial, class or sex discrimination; a drive for academic equality; a commitment to social action; democratic control of NYA; and a stand against these forces which promote fascism.
It is interesting to note that to be a member of the organization one must agree fundamentally with only one of the above five points. We would hate to attend a number of meetings and find that the point with which we disagree will never discussed. Never can tell what will come to light on this Campus.
over to the government for use in training soldiers, Foiler Shops burned the loss was about $10,000 to the building and some $18,000 to equipment. Naturally much anti-German propaganda was afoot at the time and much was made of the fact that the destroyer was destroyd just before beaten when over for military purposes, governments were fighting the fire, guards were placed around all the University buildings.

Plans for the reconstruction varied. One plan was to make the building into a common building to serve a purpose similar to that now performed by our Union building. It was to be known as the Free State hotel, in honor of that historic Lawrence establishment which had itself been burnt. For some reason the building was reconstructed almost as they had been before the fire

Through all its tragedies, the Powder walls have stood to be rebuilt and after each repair business has settled down as usual to the monotonousrum of lathes, th heat, the hias of welding, the smoke, the stench of coating in the foundry, helping to make more engineers.
