R. O. T. C. BY FORCE
Get out your history books, American citizens, and make a note in the margins of that story about the Pilgrim fathers who founded a new country for freedom of conscience. Open up your song books, and put a very big question mark beside that "land of the free" in "America." Hunt up a copy of the Constitution and add the information that "While students have a right to a religious belief under the Constitution, they have no right to insist that they are entitled to compel the University to excuse them from taking military training."
Isn't that just too generous of the remarkable men who preside over the dispensation of justice in this great and glorious democracy? We are actually to have the privilege of believing anything we want—as long as we don't try to express our convictions in action. Just so we spend our time learning military tactics and carrying arms (not that anyone believes in war, of course, but we must be prepared to "defend our country against all enemies"), just so we fall into step without protest, we shall be allowed to hug to our hearts whatever beliefs we like about the wisdom or right or usefulness of war training.
The modern student is the young man who looks wonderful in a tux but entirely out of place in a cap and gown.
Well, children, don't take it too hard. It's just one more to check off your long list of things which must be unlearned about your country's pretty myths — and learned about life as it is really run.
ANOTHER STUDENT REBELLION
Apparently Huey Long made middle boot when he preclaimed recently that Louisiana State University "is my school. I made it." The university's president has demonstrated his abject subjec tion to the "Kingfish" will by ex pelling four journalism student and threatening twenty-six other because they objected to Huey' supervision.
Dictators must control the press and in spite of all our insistence on the freedom of the American press Huey has "his school's" paper under his thumb.
Students who take part in uprisings against governments are often considered empty-headed radicals who are simply hunting excitement. But the students in the Louisiana rebellion have the sympathy of all right-thinking Americans. It is gratifying to know that there are some in that state who have nerve enough to protest against the loud-mouthed senator.
Huey should be careful. It is when they use force to purge their ranks that dictators arouse the greatest opposition. Youth can be led more easily than driven and Huey may be hastening his end by cracking down on "his" students.
Says Slew-foot: "A bore is a person who thinks you mean it when you say, 'How are you?'
UNSUNG HEROES
Before the enthusiasm of intercollegiate football fans has diminished, sport authorities have begun selecting players for mythical All-American teams who have made football history this fall, players whose names have appeared in banner headlines from coast-to-coast for their spectacular running, their electrifying passing, and their beautiful punting. To these will go the acclaim and aplause of a nation's public for its heroes. Banquets, honors, and awards will be showered upon them in unending numbers.
Another group of college students will also read the announcement of the all-star team with interest. Pride will fill their hearts as they read that one member of the All-American team is from their own school, that another received honorable mention. That was great! Games had come and gone; they had witnessed every move of the team through critical, hopeful eyes. Now the season was over. There were no writeups and gold footballs awaiting the watchers; instead there was only the satisfaction of knowing that they had had a part in the heroes' success, those unsung heroes of 1934—the substitutes.
Besides taxes it's also practically impossible to dodge a boy on a bicycle.
GET IN THE FIGHT
For the past decade or so special Christmas seals have been sold to raise funds for fighting tuberculosis. The fact that this annual sale has continued for so many years is an indication of its worthiness. This year there will be a special sale of these tuberculosis seals on the campus for the purpose of raising funds to provide tuberculin tests for new students at the University next fall and to provide for tuberculosis clinics at intervals during the year.
In supporting this plan the student not only will be doing his part to eradicate a disease which only a few years ago was rampant in the world and was deemed almost extinct, but will also be contributing to the
efficiency of the health service offered students by the University
From Hollywood comes a report that the new color photography cuts off from five to ten years in the looks of the person photographed, and that the movie stars are clamoring for it. If past actions are any indication of the future, it won't be just the movie stars that mob the photographers
Boy Wanted
Wanted: A boy over 17 to take an apprenticeship that will bring him money and sudden death. Boy need not be cbed on above sixth grade; needs no home training, less he has the better. But he needs a stair, burgundied father dress and takes him and takes it out in hawking. Boy can drink and smoke abl and begin chasing around with the girls at all and leap to lie to parents in pool rooms.
From the Emporia Gazette.
Must be a coward who takes advantage of weak and unarmed persons. Absolutely necessary he will love good clothes and dumb, flashy and treacherous women. Must have no children to ensure the small conscience that center with his general dumbbell. If entertaining, sufficiently mean and lucky, promotion will come fast. From alley thieving he can begin stealing tires on Main Street, go into the hot car buship, get a run-ruining job that will take him away from home. He can pick up technique of banditry and find plenty of partners. From then on the way is smooth. A good wad attracts an entitle-pated, two-faced girl who will dump him for the next bigger roll. From that point until death he must buy another ticket and fill the position for which this advertisement is inserted-Public Enemy No. 1. The job is now temporary. Any boy applying for the job should start shooting craps in a wide open beer dive and continue along the road.

Ordinary citizens coming away from the movie, "Filtration Night," one night last week, looked twice at the button and braid bedecked band boys and their ladies mingling with the crowd. At first glance the ordinary citizens jumped to the conclusion that some of them were coming from a third dimension, stepped off the screen and were leaving the theatre through the front door.
Christmas is really getting nearer, Sororites and fraternities have started trading votes in the "Most Alluring Ced" and the "Most Fascinating He"

The attendance in chapel is becoming lighter than it ought. Students should take more interest in this religious exercise.

The subject of Prof. Candell's "talk" next Tuesday evening is "What Shall I Do With My Neighbor's Wheelbarrow?" Mr. Hamilton entertains the hope that the professor will conclude to return it.

The time for huncube is past; the time for action is at hand. Next month the legislature meets and the University will have to endure the bitterest fight it has ever known. It will be assaulted by those bumpkins who do not believe in "hifluitin edification." He will want to attack the friends of the small-fry "colleges" scattered around the state which have the audacity to be jealous of the University . . . The regents will ask for only one appropriation: $30,000 for a hall of natural history for Prof. Snow's department. We are asked to every friend of the University to go to work. Don't delay! Wake up! Pitch it!

Wonder what has become of the petition that the faculty sent to the City Council, praying for a continuance of the guard sidewalk to the foot of the Hill?

First He Looked High . . .
Then He Looked Low . . .
Then He Came to OBER'S
First he looked at a high priced suit but felt that it was too much money for the suit.
This particular customer was particular, indeed . . . set in his views on style . . . knew what he wanted in fabrics.
Then he considered a "cheap" garment . . . but decided it was too little suit for the money.
Then he came here and saw hundreds of fine suits at $25 that met his eye for color and his appetite.
The same opportunity is open to you today.

What's inside?
Yet when you buy books, you are concerned with what's inside them. And when you buy a flashlight, a refrigerator, a radio—you want wristband than whimsy buys. You want to know the inside goodness of those products, know it before you buy them, be persuaded by what's inside. You may hesitate between two flashlights. You can't tell by the appearance which is good, or which is better. Advertisements could tell you. They point out the undermethane of a product. The truths you can see, and the truths you can't see. The amount and strength of service to expect of what you see. Not just a refrigerator—but how long the ice lakes in it, how it makes lettuce crisp. And not only the now inside merits, but the future inside merits. It's these unseen nows and futures that make a product worth its price.
The woman who started out to fill her library only with books with red bindings, or books whose names suggest red—"Red Pepper Burns," "The Song of the Cardinal," "The Scarlet Letter"—made a whim the basis of her choice. She wasn't particularly interested in the merits of those books. Her aim was to fill up space.
Read the advertisements. Then you can know a product to its center—to its last chapter of service—before you buy.
Knowing the advertisements habitually/
means always strength-buys
Read advertising often
