"By supporting the team as you are
doing so Fundamentally you are giv-
ing strength to the Sinews Of the col
lege and enriching your own lives by
participating in a deserving loyalty.
Those boys who face Sanford this
Saturday are our boys. They are
doing their best for our sake. And I
am happy to see that you are appre-
ciative of their efforts and with them
In the spirit. With your enthusiastic
cooperation I am sure they will have
increased cause for victory"
It was several minutes before the
cheering died out and the column of
marchers started back to the campus.
They rolled along singing blithely and
loudly and when they reached the
smoldering ashes of the fire they sang
"Old Colburn. Dear Colburn" and then
dispersed.
Lights burned all night in the base
ment Of Maddox Hall, where the
Offices of the Colburn Daily News were
located. Penn Halstead, while not
definitely opposed to foot ball as a
sport, was disgusted with the bally-
hoo and sentimental emotionalism it
stirred up. He had seen the placards
announcing the mass meeting in be-
half of the coming game with San
ford and had held up the Wednesday
edition in order to comment on the
rally and its developments.
The deans speech was just the
spark to set of the dynamite. Hal

the coach waved to the clamoring stu
dents, and as they headed for the
deans house down the road stretch.
McBriar dropped the window, pulled
down the curtain and tumbled into
bed.
Gathered in front of the deans
charming Colonial home, the students
sent up q thunderous round of cheers.
They could see the dean reading in his
study, through the delicately cur
tanned windows. His noble brow and
intelligent profile. set of by silvery
white hair and a kindly expression,
presented a pleasing picture against
the background of books. He smiled
with evident pleasure as he heard the
cheers.
Generations of Colburn students had
marched to his portico to give him
q cheer whenever they had any kind
of rally or a celebration. He loved
the younger generation, delighted in
its healthy optimism, its reckless
courage, and shared its poignant prob
lens. They knew this, and loved him
for it.
Slowly the dean rose from his read
ing. He went to the front door and
bowed his gratitude, happy in the
thought that they thought so much of
him. Heck Guyer, as spokesman for
the crowd. asked that he say a few
words about the coming game with
Sanford. Dean Sutten hesitated
minute and spoke. You men and
women Of Colburn," he began in his
soft. resonant, almost musical voice,
ARE the inheritors of a great tradi-
ton. Many hands, many hearts and
many labors have gone into the life
and soul, as we'll as into the physical
structure of this college. I cherish
1t dearly and I know you cherish
our alma mater dearly, for in your
hands and in the hands of those who
will follow you here in later years
rests her future.
And the foot ball team Is the living
representation Of Colburn on the field
of play. Our eleven epitomizes our
hopes, our traditions. our aspirations
and our spirit, and stands for all the
fine things Colburn stands for. The
success of our foot ball team Is a
fitting index to our vitality, our united
college vitality. And when speak of
success, do not mean necessarily or
exclusively victory. Rather do mean
the high spirit of aggressive contests.

by the cheer leader and suggested that

in deafening cacophony. Coach Nc
Briar had had a hard day at the
field and had retired for the night.
He heard q great clamor Of voices out
side his window and got out Of bed
to see what was the cause of all the
excitement. When he poked his big,
iron-gray head out of the upper win
dow of his house, the students gave
him a rousing cheer. McBriar smiled
happily and waved to them IN the
spirit Of appreciation.

we'll beat 'em by?"
Another rousing cheer for McBriar
reverberated among the caves of the
house. BY this time the coach was
thoroughly awake. He had had such
receptions before. He always en-
joyed such homage.
Men and women Of Colburn," he
began, thrusting out his prognathic
jaw and renewing his grip on the
window ledge, "the spirit you show
here tonight is the true spirit of your
institution. It Is the spirit that wins
for Colburn. Sanford cannot be un-
derestimated. They've got what va
might call tough team. We're not
expecting May party. We know
we're in for q tough battle. But with
the kind of spirit and loyalty youse all

The Presidents power program is getting

While it has met obstacles in the courts,

BENEFITS OF DISCUSSION

Coughlin may have all the aspects of a first
rate vaudeville show but it is really perform
ing useful social function in our lives H. G.
Wells, distinguished English author, pointed
this out when he landed in New York the other
day.
America. I think, is in a strategic position
for economic and social experimentation" said
Mr.. Wells, and think these debates are part
Of that experiment"
That is a sensible viewpoint We don't
know yet just how our New Deal is going to
work out, and the various policies and the
theories at issue will stand all the public dis
cuSsion We can give them.
BY promoting such discussion, these three
men are helping to make it possible for us to
decide wisely.

STANLEY REED

ME legal staff of the New Deal has long
needed strengthening. Appointment of
Stanley Reed of Kentucky TO be solicitor
general, therefore. will be welcomed by those
who desire the Administration to make a bet
ter showing in the courts.
II is a nOn-pOlitical appointment, a de-
served promotion for a man who proved his
bulliance as an attorney and integrity as a
public servant first as general counsel for
the Federal Farm Board under the Hoover
Administration and later as head of the Re-
construction Finance Corporations legal di-
vision.
The assistance which Mr.. Reed gave to the
Attorney General in the recent gold cases
doubtless paved the way for his promotion. He
will have many other opportunities TO show
his mettle at the judicial barricsdes, where the
New Deals fate ultimately may be decided.

the slope Of the Verdugo Hills Of Southern
California and came to Congress. Today his
once lyric soul reeks gall his Tyre Is stilled, his

The noise of Blanton of Texas and others

And Mooney-where was the circumstantial

The same applies to the blind. Unable to
compete with the more fortunate, the sight

crumbs OF charity during the depression.
The Randolph bill would enable many
blind persons to support themselves. II pro-
vides that they may operate newsstands in
all federal buildings and that they may bor-
row from the federal treasury funds necessary
to purchase equipment. paying back the loan
on easy terms.
It also provides for a survey of private in

No great sums are asked in the way of
appropriations ~ merely enough TO carry the
actual cost. Adequate safeguards exclude I'M

BY law than by executive order. 1t is not an

RIGHT TO BONUS UPHELD
BY OVERSEAS VETERAN

By Walter J. VoelkeI.
Will the guy who let Junior down
last week please jack him up again
so he may read this letter. The
writer often wondered, since he
heard from Junior, or Simple
Simon" which he should have
named himself, what sort of an ape
he resembles and from what he
originated. 1t has been said that
man originated from monkeys, but
I don't believe it. If this man Junior
had originated from monkeys he
would have some brain and intelli-
gence.
I fought with the Ninety-frst
division on the Flanders front in
Belgium and I'm sorry Junior was
not old enough to be with us. We
needed men like him, when those
clouds of gas came over, to blow it
back.
Yes, we veterans demand our
bonus and we are not asking for
something for nothing. We not
only worked for it, we fought for it,
we starved for it, we shed blood for
it. We slept in mud holes with our
hobnails on for it and yet we are
shown sympathy by being called
winners and squawkers, etc.
1t is a shame the combat veterans
had to fight for the Stars and
Stripes under which such people like
Junior, or Simple Simon, live.
Remember, Junior, 20 years from
now you can have your poll tax ex-
empted. Let him down again.

Legion Bonus Stand Raped

BY Allen NJ. Overton.
Some veterans and some poll
ticians by organization and bally-
hoo are trying to speak for the
majority of the voters in regard
to the immediate payment of the
bonus. But to say that they rep
resent the majority of the voters,
is, in my opinion, neither sensi-
BILE nor true.
Granted that the American Lee
gion voted in favor of immediate
payment, nevertheless it must be
borne in mind that in addition to
the veterans within the organiza-
tons that were opposed, there are
also many veterans who refrain
from afiliating themselves with
that organization due to the fact
that they have not confined their
efforts to caring for the diSa bled
men, but are doing all in their
power to get as much as they can,
as quickly as they can for a small
percentage of our population who
happened to be in the Army dur
ing the war.
There are millions of voters who
do not wish to lose what savings
and insurance they have due to
imitation, or to have taxes in

LEyELING WAR AND PEACE

TINE McSwain bill to eliminate war profits
Il will probably come to a vote during this
session of Congress. 1t would authorize the
President to freeze prices at levels as Of
date prior to the declaration of war, and in
that way-according to its sponsors-would
prevent profteering.
Congressman Frank L. Kloeb Of Ohio
pointed out the other day that such measure
would also make the transition from war to
peace less of strain on the country's eco
ncmic fabric.
The close of a war, he remarks, has al
ways heretofore brought a period of falling
prices, with a resultant depression Under
the McSwain bill, he argues, 1.-The nation will
move from peace to war and from war to
peace without serious disjointment of the
economic structure"
Anything that would cut the traditional
postwar crashes would certainly be step in
the right direction.
