another economic gesture, directing
heads of departments to cut expenses
and spend less than their budget
demands.
This is the second economic gesture
the President has made in seven
months. The first was made just be-
fore Congress convened last winter.
No economies followed. On the con-
trary, expenses went up. The first
economy gesture was not taken
seriously by department heads or by
anyone else who knew anything about
the facts. There is no reason to be-
lieve the second will be taken any more
seriously. There is, however, extreme
ly good reason to believe that, as
was the case last time, as has been
the case every month since the New
Deal was inaugurated, expenses will
go up and, regardless of increased
revenues, the deficit deepen.
Such has been its consistent record.
Repetition Of the economy order at
this time serves a dual purpose. For
one thing, it is essential for pur-
poses of the campaign, in which one
of the main charges against Mr.. Roose-
welt is that, in violation of his pledges,
he has wastefully expended uncounted
millions of public funds and piled up
a debt which threatens national SOL
vency. For another thing, is shared
headlines with the Farley announce
ment the morning after, and made that
incident seem a little less bold. The
fact about the Farley business is that
it is not worth while blaming Mr..
Farley. 1t isn't his fault. He has
not only been willing, but expected to
get out right after the Philadelphia
convention. The man responsible for
his continuation as Cabinet officer
and campaign manager is Mr.. Roose-
welt. If this is a bad practice
most people agree that it is-the man
to blame is Mr.. Roosevelt, not his SUBJ
ordinate, who cheerfully would jump
out of the window if told to by his
chief. The three months furlough in
this case is Mr.. Roosevelt's concession
to public feeling, but it is a very
slight concession.
The economy gesture, while it will
bring no results, perhaps serves one
useful purpose. 1t calls attention to
the fact the Federal finances are now
an impenetrable jungle in which no
one seems able to find firm footing or
agree on the facts-not even the New
Dealers themselves. For example, at
the Philadelphia convention, Keynoter
Barkley, whose speech was regarded
as highly important, placed the ma
tional debt at thirty-one billions. A
few days later Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau put it at thirty-four
billions. The Republicans, by adding
in the Home Loan and Farm Loan
bonds, guaranteed by the Govern
ment, very much higher still. There
are some New Dealers who, by esti-
mating the liquidation of the RFC,
leaving out the guaranteed bonds, de-

Orangeade Madness

strenuous exercises, you soon become
light-headed and ready for fun,
However, orangeade does not dull
your mind as do drinks of other
descriptions.
4. In this way you work off the
excess vigor, and therefore, you are
bound to be whacky.
Now you are acquainted with my
most extraordinary hypothesis, but
still unacquainted with its meaning,
I fear. Nevertheless, to round our
sermon, I shall ask you, 'What
would you rather be, a drunk or a
whack?" A whack is a person under
the influence of few quarts of
orangeade who feels so full of life
that he tells amusing stories and
does amusing things. On the other
hand, a drunk is a person under the
influence of a pint or two of in
toxicating beverages who is so under
the weather that he may tell some
amusing stories and do some anus
ing things, although he is unaware
of it.
I'd much rather stick with the
old standby, orangeade, and be call
ed a whack.

Senators Discuss
Alumni Dancing
From The Pioneer)

The senate held its regular
monthly meeting recently. At this
meeting nominations were made for
a freshman representative on the
senate. The senate nominated a
boy and a girl from the freshman
class. These nominees were Doro-
thy Poole and James Ferguson.
The much discussed question of
alumni dancing was brought up
Since all the senator's were in favor
of it, the difficulty lay in deter
mining how to secure it. AS the
Board of Trustees of the College
does not meet until January, it
was decided to postpone the matter
until that time.
The purchase of senate keys wa,
also discussed. The senate decided
to order keys of the same design as
those gotten last year. Those eligi-
bic for keys are the senator's and
the faculty advisers.

(From The Pioneer

The international Relations Club
held its regular meeting in DR.. A.
K. Faust's classroom.
After the short business meet
ing, the president, Herbert Stool
man, turned the meeting over tc
Edgar Barr, head of the program
committee. The program for the
evening had as its central theme
"War on Peace" and consisted OF
talks by various members of the
organization.
Henry Farley spoke briefly a.
long the miIitaristic line of thought
He quoted Arthur Brisbane fire..
quently, stressing the power ane
deadliness of the implements Of
war which are being manufacturer
in the world today, and the east
with which almost any nation
could attack and virtually wipe
out the United States, destroying
whole cities at a time. He mention
ed the fact that since other nation.
are establishing naval bases at diff
ferent points, it would mot be
amiss for the United States to USE
the Midway Islands as an air base.
thus strengthening our defense.
Miss Ida Whisenant, in her talk
along the practical side of acquir-
ing peace, asked several question:
to stimulate thought. Who is the
true pacifist? Is he the person who
will not fight under any condi-
tions? Do pledges made by college
students saying they will not enter
into wal really mean anything? Il
it possible for the nations of the
world to actually lay down their
arms and have world peace?
Edgar Barr illustrated the fac,
that as long as nations continue tc
rearm, and to build larger and bet
ter air forces. they r going tc
find some use for them.
After the program there wa an
open discussion at which time cur
rent news Of the day was discussed
DR.. Faust gave a report on some Of
the interesting things spoken by
the natives of Mexico who spoke
at the Rotary Club in Salisbury
He also called attention to the fac,
that the I. R. C. shelf, located in

Indian Gridders Unable
toWithstandD determined
Colonial March
(From The Pioneer)

The game Catawba Indians went
down to defeat at the Capital City
last week when they bowed to the
George Washington Colonials by
the score of 500.
The Colonials had too much re-
serve power for the Indian pack,
and this element proved its worth
by pushing owe twenty-six points
in the final quarter. For three
quarters, the Indians held their
superiors to four touchdowns. The
fourth quarter saw a tied Indian
tribe face a strong and fresh COL
onial eleven; the result was that
the latter scored four touchdowns
before the final whistle blew.
The Indians penetrated the
George Washington territory only
once during the fray, when the
second period saw them march to
the Colonials forty-two yard line
after breaking up the %latter's
march to Catawba's six. Cotton
Goodman, intercepted a G. W.
pass on his W goal line, and ran
the ball out to his t~wenty-six.
Clark then passed to Horn on the
forty-one. The pass was ruled
good because of interference by a
Colonial back. Clark then passed
to Goodman for a first down on
George Washington's forty-five.
Sammy Pritchard ran around end
for threee yards, taking the pig
skin to the forty-two. Two more
plays failed to gain, and Catawba
was forced to kick, thus ending
their only threat of the game.
The first quarter saw the In
dams hold the Coloniais to a lone
touchdown. The home team took
the ball on their own thirty-five
yard stripe and marched sixty-five
yards up the field to hang up six
points. The try for the kick was
not good.
The second quarter opened with
the Colonials deep in Indian terri
tory. The G. W. passer threw
one intended for his end. 1t look
ed like a sure score but Enoch
Goodman leaped high in the air
and intercepted it. He ran TWEEN
ty-six yards before being downed.

(From The Pioneer)

lOlll Lie IOllCClJ
In assembly period the nominal
lions for freshman representative to
the senate were held. Those nomi-
mated were: James Ferguson, Dom
aid PETER. Nancy Horn, John
Church, Betty Mowery, and Doro-
thy Poole. \
The election of the freshman
senate representative was held on
the following day, tuesday, during
assembly period. Each freshman
wrote on a slip of paper che name
of the person whom he wanted to
be elected. These slips of paper
were collected at the end of the
period and later divided and count
ed. Out of all those persons who,
on Monday, were nominated, the
one receiving the largest number of
votes and thereby becoming the
freshman senator, was James Fer
guson.
While the election was being
held, several speeches were made by
certain members of the student
body in support of the candidate
whom they considered to most cap
able of holding the esteemed and
important office of Freshman Sem
ator. Among those who made
speeches, whether long or short,
were: Katherine Choate, Majorie
Grant, Henry Farley, E. K. Whit
ner, and "Doc" Newman.
Perhaps the most vigorous as we'll
as the most enthusiastic speech was
the one delivered by Henry Farley.
In it he praised highly the principles
for which John Church stood. An
other interesting as we'll as pointed
speech was delivered by E. X. Whit
ner in favor of Donald Peiffer.
The election of James Ferguson
as the freshman senator came as
good news to his many faithful
supporters lot only in the fresh
man class, but also in other classes

George Washington Vanquishes
Indian Tribe by 500 Win

The Indians continued their drive
which ended on the Colonial's
forty-two. A few minutes later,
after an exchange of punts, Char
ley Clark's punt was blocked by
Stapleton, and the big G. W.
guard recovered and ran for a
touchdown.
The Colonials scored again just
before the hail ended. Turner ran
the ball to the Indians one yard
line. Vic Sampson then took the
ball over for the last score of the
half.
The fourth touchdown climaxed
a sixty-five yard Colonial march
Hanken, on an end run, paced
t~hirty-two yards to the Catawbs
three. On the next play he took
the ball over the final stripe.
Fresh material proved too much
for the firing but hard fighting
Indians, and pushed over -four
touchdowns before the game end
