COMPULSORY MILITARY TRAINING
- Lately there has been much controversy at several of the various land grant colleges in regard to compulsory military training. It seems that some students desire the discontinuance of it for one of two reasons: one, because they just don't want to give the time and exertion necessary for military science and training; or second because they are really profits. But it can safely be said that in the majority of cases the former is true.
Last Nov. 19, the Association of Land Grant Colleges, meeting in Chicago, adopted the report of the Committee of Military Organization and Policy. In adopting this report the association "stands squarely and strongly by the official military policy of the nation as embodied in the National Defence Act."
The keystone of this act is the constant maintenance of an adequate supply of reserve officers and the most economical means of supplying them. Better officer material does not exist than the student bodies of these colleges. They are prepared for their reserve commissions with no interruption to their civil employments and with gain rather than loss to their educational development. Military training is training in organization, in leadership, and in command, which qualities are of utmost value to college youth. Because of this the Association of Land Grant Colleges does not desire to abolish compulsory military training in the respective institutions.
THE COMMITTEE REPORTS
The special committee that was appointed by the house in the last congress to investigate the air situation and Colonel Mitchell's statements has completed its work and submitted the report. It is interesting to note that the committee has arrived at the same conclusion as that of Mitchell, that is, that "the army and navy are and have been conservative, if not backward, in recognizing the great importance of air power."
Colonel Mitchell was only a subordinate in the service of the United States, yet he dared to speak out concerning this project. He saw what the problems were and did not hesitate to make known where the trouble lay. He was court martialed for this freedom of speech. Still he knew that he was speaking correctly on the aircraft problem, and he was confident that on looking into the affair that the committee would discover that he was right.
THE COMMITTEE REPORTS
If there were more men of the Colonel Mitchell type in our country today there would be more efficiency; however, as it is, minor officers dare not speak, for fear they will lose their positions.
AND NOW CHRISTMAS
In Christmas taking its place among our-should we call them behemished, holidays? Thanksgiving has come to a place where its strong-cot out appeal is to our stomachs. Easter time is remembered—not as it should be remembered—but by rabbits and eggs, and such. We mercenary Americans have apparently almost forgotten just what our own—our very own, holiday, the 4th of July, is commemorated for.
And now Christmas, the most re
vered of all, seemingly by the common consent of almost everyone concerned, is fast falling into disrepute at the hands of us "dollar chansers." Not that the spirit is unrightious, exactly, but aren't some of us liable to forget the true spirit of the occasion?
AH HA!
At last a defender of the jazz era has come to light in the person of Max Reindhardt, well-known German stage director. It is his belief that America has found the way to true self-expression through the medium of modern syncopation.
It is refreshing to find one critic who is frank enough to admit jazz has its good points. Certain it is that America has been the pioneer in this field in which foreign attorneys at initiation have been unsuccessful. If it is true that a nation may express itself through the medium of music, then our country has succeeded admirably.
Undoubtedly jazz has its bad points, yet it expresses the enthusiasm, the rush and burtle of our daily life in a manner that is characteristic o' the American people. It was only to be expected that the abounding energy and "pop" of its inhabitants find an outset in some typical form. And, in developing jazz, America has not only expressed her own national temperament but she also found the proper medium for the expression of the spirit of the modern age.
Whether or not jazz will endure in its present form is doubtful, yet if it has done no more than to serve as the outlet of a nation's feeling for rhythm, it has served its purpose. At least, it is one institution that can be called, in all fairness, our own.
--any two students meet both call out, "What'd you jay?" as quickly as possible. The one who gets through last must then think of something else to say. This is a hard task for any student. If both say the phrase at once, it is a draw, and they pass on, as no thinking is necessary.
Book Notes
"Three Housing Chefs for the Kidle Boys" by Corry Ford. $20.00. The recounting of the boy he chooses of yourtyear are with us again to add cheer to our holiday reading, and Corry Ford is the pilot who conducts a tour through North woods and purple sage, and then back again to dear Merriwoll Hall. The reader may be at a loss what it is all about if he stops reading long enough to consider, but once he has opened the front cover, Gluyas Williams has drawn Tom, Dick and Sam in his unusual manner for which he should be drawn and entertained, or otherwise fittingly rewarded.
Harry's Ford has been responsible for much entertainment, but Carey Ford leaves the jolt out of his humorous contribution. It's burlesque, of course—but it is not coarse—and if you so choose to do, you could permit your maiden nunt to retain her faith in your expectant honeunt to retain her faith. You will not waste such rare opportunities on a maiden nunt, however.
You will read it yourself, and then insist on passing the book on to that friend of friends who laugh at the jokes which you like, for you Know that he will split a wrb over this one. He will give a gift for any of num 16 or 06, "Three Reading Cheers for the Rollo Boys" could not be improved upon.
Because of the wave of fraternity house burglaries which resulted in the robbing of five houses in one night, the police steps were taken to introduce drunks against future robberies. It was suggested that volunteer fraternity watchmen patrol fraternity and sororities for a period of thirty days or more.

Geology professor pointing to lakes on a map: "Are these lakes artificial?"
The customer waited patiently for his food at one of the restaurants near the Hill. Finally he looked closely at one of his fellow waiters, and growned: "Gooh!" that cook must have a wonderful memory."
"Yaw, they're dammed lakes," murmured the scholar.
A certain professor had just handed a detailed outline of the course to each of his students.
