53 Bandmen Strut
At Wooster Battle
Fifty-three hand members traveling in two modem buses journied to
Wooster last Saturday to perform
at the Bowling Green-Woostcr football game.
Before the intercollegiate contest,
the local band strutted to the field
and formed the outline of the state
of Ohio. After the map was formed
the Wooster band marched in and
formed the letters "USA" within
the map of Ohio. During these formations the two bands played "God
Bless America."
During the half interval the Bowling Grfi 11 musicians made a "W C"
formation playing a medley of Scotch
tunes during the procedure and then
transformed into a "B G".
The Wooster band also made some
formations during the intermission.

"Japan is not a threat to the
United States but is only a nuisance,"
Jimmy Young, INS Tokio correspondent, stated in a lecture sponsored
by the Kiwanis club, Thursday night.
Japan does not have the oil to keep
the axis running and what it does
have is coming from the United
States," Mr. Young continued.
"We need not fear Japan because
of its involvement in China, its fear
of Russia, its general disunity, and
its lack of commodities," Young
said.
"Japan is internally weak, having
had six cabinets in the last three
years and the present cabinet is so
weak that it cannot resign," Mr.
Young said. "There are five factions in the government; the storm
troopers are now in office." Education is based on the American system, the array on the German system, and the navy on the British
system. These three things are always in conflict."
"The Chinese have a sense of humor and are playing a game of ring
around the rosie. There are over
a million and a half Japanese in
China but they are unable to get responsible people to control China."
Young pridicts that the Chinese
will never be conquered for they
will never give up. Japan cannot
occupy what she now holds. It is
said among newspapermen that they
can hold no farther than a rifle bullet will carry.
"Japan will probably not declare
war on anybody," Young Mated,
"However, they might go into the
Dutch East Indies." Japan has a
strong navy, especially destroyers
and air craft carriers. She is now
concentrating on submarines, torpedo
boats, and air craft carriers."
Young
was
manager of the
Japan Advertiser, a Japanese newspaper, for a number of yean but was
imprisoned for printing facts about
the government. He was held for
"investigation", spending 61 days
in solitary conflnment.

Foreign War Forms
Stiff Problems For
College Libraries
NEW YORK - (ACP) - Europe's
war is posing a difficult problem for
American college libraries.
Robert Bingham Downs, director
of the New York university libraries,
declares it is extremely hard to keep
highly necessary collections of foreign periodicals and bonks up to date.
In view of the exodus of scholars
from Germany, some quarters have
raised questions as to the present
value of German learned publication. But it is the general feeling
among educators, Mr. Downs reports,
that at least tho leading journals in
several fields of knowledge should
be continued for the present.
'With the coming of the wur foreign currencies have fluctuated in
value, insurance and carriage have
steadily increuscd in cost, and deliveries are slower and more uncertain," says Mr. Downs. Advance
payments have been required on serial subscriptions, with no assurance
that publication would not be suspended before the subscription cxI iration date. The workings of the
British embargo have not always
been predictable, though the interference has been less noticeable perhaps than during the World war."

Dying Grannys And Faulty
Alarms Blamed For 'Slips'
By CLARK MUNCER
Class cutting is on the decrease at
Bowling Green State University despite the fact that about 80 students
apply daily to the dean of students
for class entrance permits, according to Dean Arch B. Conklin.
These figures on "class cutters"
are an estimate based on the numfcer
of excuse pads used daily by the
dean's secretary.
About one pad
of unexcused absences and their duplicates is consumed daily, and an
average of two excused absence pads
of the same size is used every three
days.
Although approximately 68
excuse pads have been filled out
since the beginning of the semester,
Dean Conklin believes that this represents a lower percentage of cuts
than have been taken in the past, and
due to the fact that many of the
limited number of cuts have already
been taken, unexcused class absences
will probably be greatly reduced for
the remainder of the semester.
Most of the unexcused cuts occur on Friday afternoon, when students going home for the week-end
leave as early as possible, getting the
jump on the rest of the "suitcase
parade." Also a great nutnber of
the familiar pink entrance permits
are given to students whose faulty
alarm clocks force them to miss
their eight o'clock classes.
These
cuts will be decreased when the dollar entrance fees for over-cutting go
into effect
Illness accounts for the greatest
number of excused absences. Cuts
caused by health reasons are the
greatest problem of the dean's office
as far as class absences are con-
cerned.
With the addition of another nurse to the health service, the
problem is expected to be somewhat
relieved.
University trips account
for a good share of the excused cuts.
Overl30 students have been excused so far this semester to go on
trips. Family deaths, the only other
accepted excuse for class absence,
arc comparatively few.
On the
whole, excused absences maintain a
steady rate over a period of years.
Any variation in class attendance is
due directly to the change of percentage of unexcused cuts.

Schools Should Meet Economic Change
Says H. G. Hayes At A. A. U. P. Meeting
America is headed for an economic
change, and the function of the university and the teacher is to prepare the student and sooiety for thi
change, according to H. Gordon
Hayes, professor of economics at Ohio
State University, who gave the opening address at the fourth annual regional conference of the Ohio-Michigan chapter of the American Association of University Professors
held at Bowling Green State University last Saturday.
Approximately 110 members representing 40 colleges and universities
in Ohio and Michigan attended the
conclave. Professor A. J. Carlson,
former president of the Amorican
Association of University Professors
and teacher of physiology at the University of Chicago, who was to be the
principle speaker of the convention,
attended the opening ceremony and
then left the meeting, explaining that
because he had just attended several
regional meetings in the east, he felt
too exhausted to give hiB scheduled
address or take part in any discussion.
The conference was opened by Professor G. W. Allen of Bowling Green
State University, president of the
local chapter.
He introduced Dr.
Frank J. Prout, president of Bowling Green State University, who gave
a brief welcoming address. He then
introduced Professor Nicholas Mogcndorff who presided over the morning
session.
Professor Mogendorlf In
At The
Local Cinema
turn introduced Professor Hayes, who
spoke on "Educational Problems in
a Changing World Economy."
Changes in the world economic
structure are inevitable, Hayes warned, and it is the problem of the school
to prepare society for these changes
and to influence the changes themselves. The school, he pointed out,
has three definite functions. These
are: 1. To guide and direct changM
now under way, 2. To prepare the
student and society for inevitable
changes over which the school has no
control, and 3. To help direct coming
changes.
Hayes went on to say that present
society is being faced with some form
of collectivism.
He disagrees with
those who believe that a planned
economy is a breach of the Bill of
Rights, and that free enterprise is
necessary to a democracy. ^ Many of
our so-called "civil liberties" have
all ready fallen in the interest of the
common good. For example, if one
owns a house in the country, far
from other homes, he may burn it
down if he wishes, but he would not
be allowed to do such a thing in a
crowded city where he Would endanger other property. This cannot
be called curtailing democratic rights.
It is the duty of teachers to investigate these problems thoroughly and
honestly, and to give true unbiased
results. We must "serve our times
without yielding to them," he concluded.

Fragments Of Thought
By ALBERT I_
Suppose we forget about politics thu week and
ponder over a few fragments of thought concerning philosophy of life. If we do this by way of
extracting tid-bits from the writings of various
men, we have an interesting collection of contradictions.
Robert Milikin submits that the altruistic ideal
is so contrary to the animal within us that it is
not strange it has found little place in the world
in spite of Christianity. He speaks of two kinds
of immoral conduct. The first is the result of
indifference and tnoughtlessness, and the second
is the refusal to do that
which is felt to be right.
Conscious of the progress
of science, Milikin denies
the old God of whims and
caprice and speaks now of
the God of order. The duty of man is to find this
order. At first sight this
would seem to be a denial
of free will, yet Milikin
would have us believe that
while the individual has it,
society moves by fixed laws. An example of the
latter would be found in the ability of an insurance company to predict the life span of an
individual through study of trends in mortality
statistics.
Theodore Dreiser finds himself unable to think
in such high planes. He interprets life as selfcentered interest whose "single and especial
business is to exist each at the expense of the
other." Then he goes on to add, "nor can I
imagine any other explanation of life that would
be true, or important if true." Br-r-r—too cold
for me.
BOUCHER
Beatrice Webb denies the existence or possibility of conflict between science and religion;
they are concerned with different worlds. "Science
deals with the process of life; it has little to say
of the purpose of life." It is not the responsibility of science to answer the "ought" of life.
Webb emphasizes this distinction by observing
that although "in prayer it is emotion, not reason
that seeks an outlet, if no hypothesis can be
proved or disproved (as in religion) and yet
some hypothesis is necessary as a starting point
for thought or conduct, then the individual may
choose for himself."
Ralph Inge offers an interesting thought on
the subject of evolution. It will be recalled that
Rousseau felt that man is naturally good and
that it is by our institutions alone that man becomes wicked.
Presumably he would have us
believe that through the process of evolution we
will ultimately find a system under which the
innate goodness of man will find an outlet. But
Dean Inge has no such confidence in evolution.
He reminds us first, that "beyond Jesus of Nazareth man will never advance." He continues
"there is no law of progress, and evolution will
not exempt us from struggle to the end." For U
must be remembered that "the devil too has been
evolving."
It has been written that "faith is the sul>stance of things hoped for, the evidence of things
unseen." With certain modifications this is
probably what most of us have in mind when we
speak of faith. John Dewey finds this unacceptable and writes, "faith in the newer sense signifies that experience itself is the sole and- ultimate authority." He would revolt against what
Irving Babbitt has called an authority that is
"anterior, superior, and exterior" to the individual.
And so it is that as we read and try to under-stand the meaning of life, our confusion only
became increased. Instinctively we rebel against
reformers advising with George Nathan that
"a man who has reformed himself has contributed his full to the reformation of his neighbor."
And to those who would tear down the past we
say with Gilbert Chesterton, "we have no business destroying anything until the reason for
its existance is understood." Janus-like we both
cling to the past and look to the future.

Immediately the papers are branded imOUR ADVERTISERS
potent by a great number of observers.
To some degree this is right.
Editorial analysts have long known that
newspapers do not mold opinion—that
they can not sway John Q. Public to vote
this way or that— or to make him change
his mind about a public issue. If anything,
newspaper editorials, at their best, reflect
intelligence. But the mass of American
dailies, in the last election, stuck out their
necks and consequently had their heads
lopped off.
In dealing with such a controversial
subject as a presidential campaign, the
best they could have done, in the interest
of good journalism would have been to
present both candidates with their policies and governmental theories and to have
left the editorializing to the reader.
The stand taken by the American press

in general in the last election is not altogether unfathomable. The newspaper

business has grown and has been for*many
years a big business; chains have developed into great corporations, representing huge capital and the moneyed
class. Willkie's policies, in general favored the big business man, consequently
the newspapers, that is the publishers,
thought they would gain more by electing
Willkie.
It must be pointed out also that the
newspapers, the editorials, represent one
man's opinion—that of the publisher and
his immediate colleagues and not the opin(Tickets given for car wash good for 30 days)
ion of the newspaper staff, nor the opinion of the paper's clientelle.
This does not mean that the daily paper I
is altogether ineffective, however; it does
not mean that newspapers do not give intelligent reports—it merely means that
the publishers and the men that own
newspapers have political affiliations.
The newspaper is only one of the many

estly say "I voted for Willkie, or 1 voted

The national press will continue to influence the American citizen in its own
way but it is not a molder of opinion; it
should disseminate information and reflect intelligence.—A. F.

Archery is over for
another season, but
the sport presented its final swan
song in the all-college tournament
ending last Saturday in which fiftyfour coeds participated. The round
shot was the Junior Columbia, that
is, twenty four arrows from the
twenty, thirty, and forty yard line.
The sophomores seemed to rule the
tourney as they took the first five
awards. In first place was Pat Pratt
with a score of 413 out of 71 hits.
Pauline Aeschlman won second place,

Brudxinski's placement

WHAT A MAN in a bowling alley! He was the "boy
wonder" a decade ago. Today, with a long list of national titles at bis belt, the bowling world still wonders
just how he gets such pin-blasting power and such hairline control... such extra power and extra control!
,
No question, though, how Joe Norris gets the extras in
his cigarette. He turned to the slower-burning brand...
Camel... for extra mildness and found several other
pleasing extras as well, including extra smoking.
Slower burning... coillier tobaccos — what pleasure
they can add to smoking! More mildness and coolness
because Camels are free from the irritating effects of
too-fast burning. More flavor —because slow burning
lets the flavor come through. And along with extra
pleasure—extra smoking per pack (see below, right).
