What has become of the five-galler but which only a few years ago was the distinguishing mark of the sensor engineer on the Hill?
The lawyer still twirls his cane and assumes a gait and demeanor appropriate to the importance of the wearing of the cane. The journalist still swishes along in his overgrown corduroys, at least while his other suit is on. He informs the whole world that he is, or wishes to be, a journalist.
But what of the engineer? Recently an investigation was conducted in an attempt to learn why they discarded their conspicuously distinguishing bead gear. Many different opinions were offered.
Various Reasons Given For Discard of Big Hat
One reason given was that the hats tended to give the campus an atmosphere too much resembling a western cattle ranch. Another ventured the opinion that it offered too good a target for snow balls and other missiles. Still another said it cast too heavy a blow and bleached him until he was unable to meet properly the viscosities of an curtainer's life.
Finally the investigator conceived the bright idea of asking some of the engineers themselves. But he gave up in despair when the first one asked replied that he didn't even know the engineers had ever worn such hats.
Speech Regarding Upheaval in China Given at Forum
Upton Close Says America China and Russia Are Great Nations of Future
The present uveival in China is only part of an immense movement spreading from Carie to Tokio, according to Prof. José Hall, of the University of Washington, who spoke at a forum Friday afternoon, Mr. Hall is perhaps better known by the Journalists' Association Professor Hall has recently returned from the Orient where he spent eight years.
"The three outstanding phases of this movement are cultural, political, and social," he said. "In Japan the social phase is to the fore. There, the leaders look forward to an international ecociation. China has not yet achieved such a phase, but in present dealing with political and cultural disturbances.
Wu Not a Militarist
"The Nationalists got their start at Hawke when Ww's own men deserted him and invited the southern allies to join them, because he pretested in standing up for the foreigner, in spite of the trouble made by the foreign ship owners which resulted in the bombing of the English, and the death of 500 Chinese.
"The yeur leader of the Northern army is more interested in tennis and jazz dances than in being generalissims of an army. He, like everyone else in China, was surprised by the Southern, or Nationalist, forces, who had been organized for 10 years, suddenly began to make bandy.
"This is the manner in which the other Chinese cities have been taken. It is the way Peking will be taken. The Nationalists have not done much fighting. Wherever they go, things are turned over to them.
"With the bombing of Hardware, the Chinese were not put in their place as the English intended them to be The Chinese demanded indemnity and an apology, and for the first time in history, they got it.
Chinese Demand Indemnity
"The National party of China is Bolshev, although it is not communist. Many persons do not understand "Bolshev," and Professor Hall.
"Bohkivism is a political theory of government which provides for one responsible party in control of the state. It has nothing to do with economics, and therefore may be communicative or equitatic, or neither, but economic party claims to be democratic within itself, and has no opposition nominee."
"The three main planes of the Nationalist platform are: China for the Chinese; a nation under the control of a unified form of government; and the growth of industrialism with full protection to the worker.
Pronaganda Organized
"The Nationalists have a propaganda artist, who made use of the organisations already formed, by reforming them into units of the Nationalist."
"The have formed the guilds, which are 3000 years old, into labor unions, and have taught the use of the union system to the men." Their other weapon is the boycott.
"England is纹绣 of bearing the white man's burden. She wants America, the only country with the man-power and money to do it, to take up her position and go into a war with China unless America takes the burden of it.
"For the last 300 years this has been a white man's world," said Professor Hall, "but this world is due for a change. The next 35 years will find China, Russia, and America as the three greatest nations."
