THE ACTIVITY MAN
A much maligned person in some circles of the University world is the so-called "activity man." Pseudo-student intellectuals sometimes take delight in lampooning the student who devotes much of his spare time to extra-curricular activities. In the minds of some, the man who interests himself in such things as fraternity affairs, campus politics, Y.M.C.A. circles, or outside journalistic endeavors, is wasting not only his own but the state's money.
Ever since an American author was responsible for the coinage of the literary term "Babbit" in referring to the activity man's counter-part in the outside world, the expression has come to bear some significance to student life. It is now common to make slightish reference to students whose interest rest in other than intellectual pursuits, as student Babits. The question now is whether such criticism is entirely justified. Surely factors not ordinarily considered in such discussions may be introduced to show that it is not.
In support of this content it should be tp畏 in mind at the outset that a University exists primarily for the purpose of adding to the intellectual development of the state. It must also be recognized, however, that the present order of American life demands a great deal more from its partakers than pure intellectual love. If we are to develop along progressive lines, the intellectual, and the practical leaders must work side by side. Just as the small business man in the outside world fills a need in his community; so does the college activity individual add something to the school. Therefore if both brains and energy are welcome in any field, they may go side by side in college. Consequently the fault resists not entirely with student activities, but in large with the warped directions such things sometimes take. Over-development or emphasis in one field will result in stodgyness or a limited outlook on University life.
BASEBALL IS STILL KING
Today major league baseball makes its debut for the 1933-34 season. Thousands of people in the large cities will flock to the ball parks to witness the opening games.
The past few years have not dealt lightly with most forms of professional entertainment. Mr. and Mrs. Public have been not quite as willing as previously to pay the price; they have been inclined to begin their economy program by doing without the pleasures they had heretofore derived from entertainment of various kinds. As a result, those people accustomed to making their living by providing those pleasures have found their incomes diminished or cut away entirely.
Professional baseball, of course,
has suffered its share of smaller
crowds and necessarily lower
prices. Many of the minor leagues
and associations have been forced
to consolidate, or disband entirely.
Players' salaries have been greatly educated.
In but spite of difficulties, professional baseball has survived as America's national game. The major leagues this season will probably play to crowds greater than those witnessing any other sport spectacle. Professional boxing draws occasional record gates, championship football games show a high attendance figures, but major league baseball remains the greatest day-in and day-out drawing card in the sport world.
THE EAST-WEST REVUE
For the past seven years the Comopolitan club has presented its annual East-West revue. Through this yearly presentation, the members of the club gain appreciative recognition, and at the same time they give opportunity to minority groups and races on the Hil to display the type of entertainment popular with their own peoples.
A better understanding among the various races and nations of the world is today an absolute necessity. Before this understanding and acceptance of the ideals of foreign nations can possibly be achieved it is necessary to break down prejudices and misconceptions of the manner of living in foreign lands, that have previously colored the thinking processes of all too many Americans. Until the people of this country succeed in disrelling from their
minds ridiculous prejudices concerning race and color, the work for a better international understanding will be hindered. Therefore the Cosmopolitan club is to be congratulated for its practical and successful endeavors.

COLLEGE PEACE MOVEMENT
All over the world, in the colleges and universities youth is seriously considering the problem of war. In many schools it is carrying on active campaigns for a wartime peace movement.
In Europe, war clouds have hovered for several years. The threats of armed conflict have been diverted for the time, but people are asking themselves how long such temporary measures can be effective. Fundamental changes will have to be made in the world to preserve peace.
It is the task of the college men and women of the world to furnish leadership. Fifteen years ago 37,494.186 young men gave their lives for a cause which they thought was worth the supreme sacrifice, a war to end War. Neither lives, nor gold, nor all the resources of the world will buy peace. Perhaps civilization will be unable to survive another war. There are today concealed instruments of destruction so terrible as to be inconceivable.
Although college men and women cannot prevent another European war, still they can do much to prevent a repetition of the horrible mistake of fifteen years ago. Thinking youth must do its part in leading the nations toward a courageous realization of the futility of war. It will mean combating the propagandists who so readily excite war hysteria from the safety of their easy chairs. It will mean showing the world that an artificial prosperity created by war is not a true prosperity. It has often been said, and rightly, that old men make the wars and young men fight them. Youth of today is coming to the realization that it is far more patriotic to say to these ill-informed citizens, these militarians, these propagandists and these so-called patriotic societies. "We are thinkers, not fools; we have the interests of our country and our civilization at heart. We want enduring peace."

EVEN IF THE FLAG DOES WAVE
Determination of members of the Oxford Union at Oxford University England's most select institution or higher school, that never again wouls they fight for "country or king" has been followed by similar votes in other countries. The University of California schools, including the University of Southern California.
The movement is important, although students know their resolutions will not prevent their countries from drifting into the war. The important thing is that the youth of the world is interested in proclamations. And one rememberes too that such resolutions were not passed in the years before 1914.
If the world is again seized with a mania for war, and the call goes out for volunteers, there will be plenty who will go trusting that they are sacrificed and called glory of their country. But it is also safe to assume that these thousands of youths who are awake enough to realize the hopelessness of war as a determiner of human destinies, and the tremendous human and economic waste which results from armed conflict will form a militant and sometimes sane reason of sanity and reason—Oklahoma Daily.

SVNOPSIS
Copyright, 1932.
CHAPTER I - "Lon" Bolekman, big timber operator, ordered by his physicians to take a complete rest, plans a three month trip abroad. Promises John John, just commencing in the business, are broken, for no apparent reason, and the young man is indignant. John John and other business associates of Bolekmann cordially dislike, is a bone of contention. Father and son part with
CHAPTER 2. — At Shestring, his train delayed by a wreck. John is ordered to leave at once. His refuses. He realizes it and realizes it is a case of mistaken identity. John learns his father is believed to be out to scure the richicks lumbering. He leaves with him, leaving he seeks employment with that company. At the office he finds Gorbel and he informs him not, Gorbel does not recognize him. The girl is Ellen Richards, owner of the company. A letter he carries gives him a nap being dropped inadvertently, and John, knowing the feeling against his wife, allows Ellen to believe that is
CHAPTER III—Ellen engages John as her former A. II series of underhand wrestling against the richer members of the Richards company culminates in the deliberate wrecking of a loco-omnibus.
CHAPTER IV—After heroic effort, he pulls himself back. John, attributing Ellen's bravery under the conditions, begins to have a sentimental attachment for the girl, which prompts her to make her move.
CHAPTER V. *The* Richards barn and architecture in a new fire. In the fire, he realizes that he outed the dead body of a stranger. He realizes the fire was set, but retires to study the fire with his son, such as an attack. Siecole and Sheriff Bradshaw arrange to work together on
Sounds of saw and hammer filled the air. Men moved methodically from place to place. On the anges of yesterdays' farm, a new, rough structure grew. And Ellen Hileback, as she watched the framework grow, watched the roof go on, watched shooting slapped into place and held and milled snuffed with misted eyes. Who wouldst, seeing your men work that hard, move about quiet, assured, component, directing it all for you!
The barn would be habitable for the teams that night; a few hours of work by a dozen men tomorrow would come under fire, and the bad having become pressing, and John welcomed the chance to ride that far with Eilem. He would return on a trip.
They were at the crossing a time while Tiny tinkered and John watched Ellen viewing the long strings of loads, taxing the storage capacities of tracage, waiting to be moved into Kamp, where she was going little train of her own logs they had dragged up the grade, and her shoulders slacked significantly.
"A feast for them," she commented,
"and for us . . . famine."
The look in her eyes wrenched his
heart.
Her hands closed on his tightly and then she was gone. He stood for a moment, then turned towards Showingstir, steam shut off now, as they did slow the stiff grades.
Feast or a famine! Not his father's doing, this; Gorilla's probably, but the stuntment was real and acute. The look she covers from the look on the girl's face.
He walked along a switch filled with loaded cars awaiting removal to the Bollpak & Gorbil mem. Not since the blizzard had the branch been moved to make room for more coming in from the Bollpak & Gorbil camp. He moved to make room only by the Richards empires, but he commanded him. He counted the car standing there. Twenty-two there were two, two of them standing, enough for a four-day cut. If those belonged to Ellen now . . . The car wheels were blocked because the stairs were too low, enough for a four-day cut. He eye one of those charshed knick which supplemented the hand of man-set brakes as though he had never seen such a dutchmen's way. He whistled timelessly to himself. He after a moment, and said
"Fire . . . fire's best fought with fire!"
He talked with the crossing tender of the track difficulties, outlined temporary repairs. The man asked for the next night off apologetically; his wife wanted an evening of movies; his brother wanted a party heavily than even he was wont to grant favors to men. . . . He had a nian had John.
He had noticed that the Belkamps and Gorbel man, who had ridden in the caboose, was hanging about the crossing. He walked with a pronounced limb, and as John and the tender started for the carriage, the gas leaking from his approach.
"Jim, isn't they making a run from Kampest this evening?" he asked.
"No; had grouble in the yards," the tender said.
"My hard luck, then!" the man said. "I ought to 've telephoned and found out." He looked at camp. "Toa chance, get back getting to camp."
"Ride in on the speeder with me, if you want."
That was agreeable to the stunner. A mile out of the city, he looked toward the twilight towards timber on the horizon, his passenger put a hand on John's shoulder and
"Would you shut her off a minute? I got something to talk about."
"Mr. Steek," the passenger said, "the sherif told me about your fire. I listen to him and he says that he about it and how he thinks that man they're taking to Sasøring went into their barn while he was on duty and set the place off (trying to smoke)."
John threw off the switch; the motor went dead, and they rolled to a stop, there in the solitude of snow-blanketed chinions.
He paused.
"I try to be a decent citizen. I try to be loyal to the man that bites and pays me. But I like horses. . . . I am scared of it. I don't want wife says. I would say I = a horn boss for Kampfert, but I got this stuff跌 and can't get around so much. I'm tired for Gorgo in cams now. I don't want her to feed me, that feeds me, but . . . I'm descent!"
Something dogged about him then,
"What I will get to say in this; that a man who'll born horses alive don't
ocseere joyiity; noe nont oceare anything but the worst he can get! That's why I'm going to tell you what I know.
That man, under the planked in his shoes, was no good. He was no good. He just made motions of working. But he had to get up and comp. He and this man stood outside the window of my shop a long time. I went out and then went back to get help. I had to walk a little ways. I did not aply, but when I got back there, Mr. Stoebe, these two men were over by himself, drawing off by himself, drawing off gasoline!
He ended with a grim nod.
"They drew a jug of it. The man went out and walked down the track; 'Gorbel went in' and sat and drew back 'Gorbel went in' and drank. We haven't seen the man since."
"I understand Nobody likes to squawk, but in a case like this it's almost a man's duty."
John swore softly.
"That's what I figure, too. I . . . I made up my mind to quit working for Gorrell tonight, but maybe it will be better if I stay and take on the job to take money from a man like that."
"That's what they had?" the other whispered.
"I'll help all i can, even to stickin'
for Belkampk & Gorbel"—grimly.
"My name is DeLoung. When you want
me, send word."
"I will," he promised. "I don't like to get any man into trouble, but . . . it's the horses, you see."
"You stay on, John said. "I'll pass your story along to Bradshaw and he'll see you sometime when it won't give his hand away."
he ended with a grain bin.
"We found a broken jug in the ruins." John said. "A plain glass, galton lug."
(To Be Continued)
The other hesitated, then twisted his head in a nod of assent.

"We knew it was set," he said, as he turned to face the camera to run this thing down without any fuss. Now, if you tell the sheriff what you've told me, his job would be easier.
