Above All, Ladies and Gentlemen

Catawba students have long been renowned for their friendiness]
and spirit of cooperation, and for their evident great interest in each
other. In a school Of the organization and size of Catawba, it isl
natural that each student should know rather we'll a large proportion
of the student body. This is just one of the advantages of the small
college, and is an entirely desirable thing. Also, upon our campus ex-
lists a spirit of universal friendiness and of efficient social intercourse,
that the development of the social graces is admirably advanced.
However, in an atmosphere of this kind, let US not forget that we are
ladies and gentemen-not boys and girls. We are obligated to exercise
a certain amount of self-restrant at all times. Although there is mo-
harm in "a little nonsense now and then, it is we'll to remember that
frequent "horseplay" and %chldishness can do a great deal of harm to
those things which are held up as ideals to us here at college. We lose
much of that spirit of responsibility that should be developing within
us during the four years we spend at Catawba.
1t is not that we should all be "bookworms" and intelectuals, not
that we should lose any Of our sense or humor, only that we should put
serious-nindednes and consideration for others first. 1t is natural that
relaxation should take place after a period of intensive study, but
surely the rest can take a form not injurious to others who might de-
sire tt study. The day of the "rah-rah boys" is past, we hope, and al
new feeling of obligation, serious study, serious work, and serious play
has come in its place.
Of course, it is natural that the freshmen, being younger, should
and indeed, without them, Catawba would suffer for want of vitality
and vigorous growth. But, it is to be expected that when a student
reaches the junior or senior class, he will have developed a certain
amount of sober sIf-containment that does not go off on tangents
and every outside influence. 1t is from material of this latter type
that leaders, thinkers, and useful citizens ire made. College is a place
for development along all lines-not one or two lines. We should strive
to develop, not only how to 'have a good time" but also, how to get
the most done that will be to the benefit of oneself and to people at
large. Nobody expects us not to enjoy ourselves thoroughly; that is
actually an important aim for all of us. But, in enjoying ourselves, we
have to remember that there is a limit to "fun chasing" and that, after
all, those things which we are here for, an education, social training
physical development, and cooperation with Others, must necessarily
come first. When we learn that fun, in its time and place, is twice as
much fun, we have gone a long way on our road to happiness and sue

The Long Arm of Tradition
The long arm of tradition again menaces a progressive move.

The long arm of tradition again menaces a progressive move.
The student body by an almost unanimous vote declared itself in
favor of having the alumni return and participate in our social func-
tons. When dances are held Catawba students believe that the old
grads should be allowed to enter the gym and dance-not Sit on the
sidelines and listen to the music. Our social affairs should not be
limited to those who have not yet secured their degrees.
The situation is rather silly on the surface. In May the seniors are
welcomed to the dances with open arms. That September the long
arm of tradition shoves the new alumni away from the gym portals
Have these former students suddenly become individuals whose COM
pany is no longeS desired? The answer is obvously-NO. We impore
our alumni to attend all games, and to witness the presentation of the
Blue Mosques latest triumph. But if there is a hop in the gym
Alumni stay away from Our doors.
The old grads wish to attend the dances. By their overwhelming
vote Catawba students have expressed their viewpoint o this matter.
Then let's all dance! Wait a mnute-the long arm of tradition holds
fast the gym doors. Let's amputate and substitute the new arm of
progressevism. The students demand action on this question. Our elect
ed representatives, the senate, should heed the will of 407 Catawbans
by officially informing the proper authorities of the recent vote. Or
do we have to bother with petitions?
The next move rests with Mr.. Carolus and the senate. We, who
elected them, know that they will not fail US. The entire student
star the ball rolling. Soon it will gather enough momentum to whirl
past the long arm of tradition. ..
Let those who oppose the alumni returning to the dances state their
case. Surely it would be a pleasure to associate with our own graduates
at a social function. Who are the living examples of all that our
school represents? The ALUMNI. Let every day be Homecoming Day.
We are proud of those who have gone before us. Some day we will
want to return to the dances. Let's open the pathway right now.
The Thanksgiving dance should be another Homecoming occasion.
This hope can become a reality with the proper cooperation of the stu
dent administration and the college authorities.
Cas-. aside the long arm of tradition. Shake hands with progresavism

separate polls were being made, ma
tionally or by states and localities.
Combining the results of these
polls, the Cleveland News comes
to the conclusion that, if these
straws actually do show which
way the wind blows, Mr.. Landon
will get 307 electoral votes against
Mr.. Roosevelt's 220. Analyses of
the major polls by Others do not
bear out this conclusion. Indeed,
as the election day approaches, it
still remains anybody's guess as to
whether the President will be re-
elected or Mr.. Landon will 20 to
the White House.
All of the polls and straw votes
have been under more vigorous fire
than ever before. Polls which show
a decided trend toward Republican
victory have been attacked by the
Democrats and vice versa.
Much of the criticism of some of
the more important polls has been
based upon the allegation hat they
do not necessarily represent the
views of actual voters. Those
critics have maintained that the
only way to get an accurate fore
cast is to poll all of the registered
voters of the state or nation. The
Baltimore Sun undertook to do this
in the state of Maryland, with the
result that its straw vote, repre-
senting about 10 percent of the
voters, showed a heavy majority
for Mr.. Roosevelt. But, as an
eminent Republican commentator
points out, nothing is easier thar
for a well organized party to see to
it that its adherents record their
preferences, while the weaker or
ganization cannot do that so ef-
fectively. Where there is a strone
Republican organization the me-
thod of polling registered voters il
likely to show a Republican ma.
jority and vice versa.
And there we are. By this time
next week we ought to know whe
is to be the next President of thu
United States.

STORE the independent
We hear a lot about the decline
of the independent small retailer.
He is being crushed to the wall by
the great chain stores and mail
order houses, people tell us.
Mark Granite of Newtown,
Pennsylvania, thinks that isn't so.
To prove that the small independ-
ent merchant has as good a chance
as ever, if he is bright enough to
run a store at all, he has opened an
old-fashioned general store" in his
home town.
| attended the opening the
other day, when Mark was handing
out sticks of candy to all the
youngster in town. | am convinced
he is right in his general theory
that a good merchant, no matter
how 'little" he is, does not need tc
fear the competition of the
"chains.' It's up to Mark now tc
prove that he is a good merchant.
ATMOSPHERE =. makes friends
There is a character to every
store-and every other place
which, for want of a better word,
we call Atmosphere" Either the
surroundings create an atmosphere
which attracts people, or they
don't. The right atmosphere is a
more valuable asset than many
business men realize.
Mark GRANTEES new store has the
atmosphere of the country general
store of my boyhood. That is ap-
propriate in Newton, which was
the second tomn established by
William Penn. The people of this
part of Bucks County have a feel
ing for history. l think the new
"old" store will please them.
The merchandise is modern, of
course, but the fittings, down to
the plug-tobaccp cutter and the
round-bellied stove standing in a
box of sand, are such as our grand
fathers knew.

LIBERTY

There is only one fundamental
conflict in this world of turmoil
which need give anyone real con-
Germ. That is the conflict between
human liberties and dictatorship.
This is the conflict which is tear
ing the world apart. 1t is less acute
in America than it is anywhere
else.
Throughout the world great
masses of people are surrendering
their liberties of action, speech and
thought to the tyranny of absolu-
fist governments. In return for
what appears to be economic Sc
curity, the consent to let their gov
ernments do their thinking, direct
the conduct of their daily lives,
even prescribe their religious obser-
ances and interfere, in some ma
tons, with their most intimate do
nestle relations. People who live
under governments so controlled
from above tend to become less
like human beings and more like
driven cattle. And the experience
in every instance has been that in
return for the liberties which. they
have sacrificed they have never
gained anything Of value.
The greatest disillusionrnent in
this respect has been that Of the
Russian people, who submitted to
the autocratic control Of a handful
of Communist leaders and who
find themselves today living in a
condition of economic misery fal
more degraded than anything
under the old Czarist rule. .
There is oily one thing worth
fighting for. That is the only
thing for which a free people have
ever fought, individual human
rights and Liberties. 1t is to bf
hoped that the time will not come
when the American people are
again compelled to take up arms If
defense of the right of every ind,
vidual to live, act and think as he
pleases SO long as he does not inter
fere with the right of others to dc
the same.
We do not think that such {
crisis in the affairs of this country
is imminent, or that it is even fore
shadowed. We base this belief upor
our faith in the inherent common.
sense of a nation of free men ane
women who have thrived under thu
freest form of government that ha'
eve existed and who are today
better off economically, socially
and in individual freedom than thu
people of any other nation in tn
world.
No government is perfect, sine.
governments are composed Of hu
man beings and human beings ar
not perfect. But, a government
which is based upon the freely ex
pressed will of a nation of fire.
people not only comes nearer to be
ing perfect than any other from 0:
government can possibly be, but i
contains within itself all of tn
forces necessary to bring abou
such changes as may be required t.
bring it still nearer to perfection
So we Americans pin our faitl
upon the American system as W,
