COMMENT
were
can
We hold no fear of parody
From friendly stars above;
They twinkle out a melody
That is our song of love.
Great white clouds do us surround
Full-blown sails they show;
They seem to gather all around
To ask where we would go.
FANTASY
From the highways of the skyways
Into a billowy cove
Exploring heaven’s byways
We guide our ship of love
Below, the gently rolling hills
Are etched in tiny squares
Where we have left our earthly ills
And all our earthly cares.
War is a terrible scourge on civilization. Roosevelt did not
have to tell us that he hates war and Sherman did not have to
tell us that war is hell in order to make us understand that it
is not something pleasant and desirable. Man has an almost
instinctive fear of war and the terrible sinues that flow from
war. He understands that war brings with it terrible suffering,
loss of life, forced economy of living, hindrances to liberty, and
tremendous national indebtedness. In addition to all of this, he
must face the terrible realization that wrar is not, as a rule, the
doings of the common people who fight the wars, but rather
the product of selfishness and greed on the part of a certain
few satanic individuals who stand to realize material gain by
war. All of these horrors of war, along with the deplorable
debasement of the morals of the people, almost lead us to adopt
an attitude that war is something to be avoided under all cir-
cumstances.
But in our love of blessed peace we must realize that there
are certain times when war is right and necessary. Father O’Hara
of Notre Dame told the people of the Americas the other day,
“In our craving for peace, let us never forget that there are
things much worse than war. Disloyalty, softness, and cow-
ardice are of these worse things.”
Father O’Hara is right. He points out to us that though we
hate war and shun it as the terrible plague that it is on civil-
ization, there are times when we must accept it, with all of
its terrible effects, in order to uphold principle that is greater
than either war or man. Father O’Hara would join us in say-
ing that we hate war for the hell that it is. But we must join
him in fighting for principle.
Away from failure, fear and force
Here we shall happy be;
And so we ply our carefree course
Upon this boundless sea.
Dear In the Audience:
I’m sure you are expecting too
much from some of our local “gen-
tlemen” of leisure. They do not real-
ize that a bird in the hand is worth
two in the audience. But I heartily
agree with you when you ask that
something be done for the sake of
those who love their drama and take
their buskins seriously.

Storm sweeps Texas.. . Ice covers
the campus... and many of our form-
er friends are giving us the cold-
shoulder. . . We don’t know just why
... for some it’s because we have not
spread the publicity thick enough...
for others it is because we have given
them too much publicity. But now is
the time for New Year’s Resolutions
and we are here to tell you that we
have made some — and broken some
too. We’ll not tell you just what these
resolutions were. We will add, how-
ever, that Campus Comment still flies
the storm-warning signal. Campus
Comment continues to be in the midst
of the storm area of all collegiate
activities.

Dear Old Sport:
We were about to congratulate the
boys ourselves as well as those who
are actually in charge of the diffi-
cult task of running off the intra-
murals. As regards the two-man con-
trol of the game—it’s a good sugges-
tion.-
But if your thought’s deflected,
And your line is just balogna;
Before you are detected
You better use a pony.

Disregarding the fact that the recent king of England abdicated
his throne for a woman previously married and divorced, we
discern in the man all the earmarks of an individual deserving
of the admiration of all fellowmen. Edward resigned his royal
place, not necessarily for the sake of Mrs. Simpson, but more
particularly for the fact that he was not and could never be a
“Yes” man. Familiarity with old English Parliamentary customs
deems to one of judgment that-the kingship relegates its owner
to an existence of subordinated agreement. This Edward was
man enough to forsake, in the desire to see his fellow country-
men fare better than he could perhaps assure them. Restricted
as he would undoubtedly have been, his tours to the' slums, his
oft-repeated beseechments for aid to those occupying the lower
levels of English, Irish, and Welsh society would have gone for
naught. In the hope of rejuvenation after abdication Edward
abandoned his heritage. His motto, “I Serve”, depicts the man
as he is—one who cares naught for the frivolity of the royal
throne, rather is he interested in the general welfare of his peo-
ple. Weaving a sympathetic cord in the bond of brotherhood in
There are those who study dearly
In their attempts to pass;
And others work sincerely
To make high marks in class.
Dear Editor:
Many hard things have been utter-
ed concerning the spirit of the boys
with regard to intramural sports. It
isn’t true and I can prove it by the
fine response that has been given
since the inauguration of these sports
in touch football and basketball.
There are one or two things which
bother me in regard to these sports:
will there be a championship play-
off? The other thing regards ref-
ereeing. I think that there should
be two men in charge of the game.
Sincerely,
The Old Sport.
Dear Editor:
They surely had me fooled. I used
to think that Jesse James got away
with a lot. But this James fellow was
just a piker: some of these local
yokels who are too gun-shy for the
stage could have taught little Jesse
plenty. Everyone in the Hall knew
who was causing all the disturbance
and the only ones who suffered
the poor thespians. All that I
say is that if we want the public to
see us on parade, we ought to be
gentlemen — or at least, pretend to
be such on the nights that the folk
from the town invade our privacy.
Yours,
In the Audience.

■ million dollars. It covers three square blocks... Even the windows
have panes in them... The five greatest money-making films
of 1936 were: Modern Tinies with Charlie Chaplain; San Fran-
cisco; with Clarke Gable; Swing Time with Fred Astaire and
Gingei Rogeis, The Great Ziegfeld with Wm. Powell and Myrna
Loy; and The Littlest Rebel with Shirley Temple... Chaplin’s
film is expected to earn $4,000,000... And if you think those
zei o marks after that 4 mean nothing — you’re crazy...
Little Helper suggests: sometimes ink stains can be removed
from hands by rubbing them with the inside of a banana skin.
And banana peels make good slippers too — A lot of our best
people are falling for them... When a person drinks liquor up
above 15,000 feet altitude, the alcohol has a double kick and
the effects last longer... In other words, you feel that much
higher...
Science has invaded the fields of agriculture... With liquid
chemicals, shallow tanks, and artificial heat replacing the old
means. By such a method Dr. W. F. Gericke, plant physiologist
of the University of California, cultivates strawberries and to-^>
matoes, without soil, the plants growing to heights of 15 and
25 feet... Some of our friends feel that scientists would be more
humane if they would discover a sure-fire hair-raiser — and we
don’t mean sensational fiction...
In 1912 Babson predicted that the Republicans would lose the *
1932 election... A common complaint, “stitch in the side,” has
been given a scientific airing and is now known to be only
crossed thoracic abdominal breathing... The total American in-
come for 1936 was 60 billion dollars... Recent tests at Johns
Hopkins’ University that women have little concept of time
they,must have timed the co-eds when they said: “Wait a min-

condemned man may choose a firing squad or a noose... We’d^ft.
take the firing squad because we always believed that No noose
is good noose.
