Of Owl Alumnus
PollowHiitf the election Monday in
which the student body failed to
overrule tho Student Councils decis-
ion to combine the Rice Owl and the
Alumni News, the council Monday
afternoon placed the student side of
the publishing of the new magazine
in the hands of a committee compos-
ed of Harold Marsh, Jr., Graham
(taker Student, Bob Cooke, senior
representative to the council, and
George Forristall, treasurer of the
Student Association.
The students voted 281 to 205 to
overrule the Student Council and halt
the merger, this majority was short
of the three-fourths vote required to
veto an act of the council.
Alumni Representatives
The alumni association Thursday
appointed Fred Shelton '20, instructor
in French; Bill Hudspeth 'tig, with the
Gulf Publishing Company; and
George J. Winston '28, insurance
salesman, to represent the alumni on
the controlling committee. The sev-
enth member will be Weldon Caba-
niss, executive secretary of the alum-
ni association. These three ap-
pointees Friday afternoon announced
their acceptance of the positions.
This committee, the council decid-
ed, will have full charge of publish-
ing the magazine. Under the commit-
tee will work editor Ben Blanton,
former editor of the Owl, who pro-
posed and was the chief backer of
the plan which has resulted in the
formation of a new publication, the
Kice Owl Alumnus.
Saunders Replaces Tilton
As business manager replacing
Jim Tilton, who withdrew because of
scholastic deficiencies, the committee
chose Oavid Saunders, present as-
sistant business manager.
Next year, the council decided,
Carey King,' present assistant edi-
tor, and Saunders will serve as editor
and business manager. Thereafter the
editors and business managers will
be chosen by the committee
The council left the choice of Til-
ton's successor to the committee, and
since the alumni has as yet taken
little part in the affair, the decision
was placed entirely in the hands of
the student members of the commit-
tee. Marsh, Cooke, and Forristall se-

Lover Finds Way
"Love always finds a way" or
"Courtship under supreme difficul-
ties." That might be the title for
this tale about a Holy Cross College
student who was struck with the
loveliness of a co-ed pictured in Col-
legiate Digest. It was love at first
picture, as it were.
Since the co-ed was not identified
in the caption describing the photo,
this inventive lover just clipped the
picture, pasted it on an envelope, and
wrote tho name and location of the
college beneath the clipping. Inside,
of course, was a request for an ans-
wer, etc.
Yes, believe it or not, Lucille Tru-
deau, a student in Mundelein Col-
lege's skyscraper on the shores of
Lake Michigan in Chicago, received
the epistle promptly.
And now there's quite a steady
flow of letters between the Windy
City and Worcester, Massachusetts.

Truth In Germany
New Yory City—(ACP)~The Col,
lege of the City of New York has
gone into mourning over the death
of learning and the search for truth
in Nazi Germany.
As a protest against Hitler's treat-
ment of scholars and students in Ger-
man universities, the City College
faculty council has given approval to
a plan to drape in black the flags
of German institutions which hang
in the great hall of the main building,
In suggesting the move, a joint
student-faculty committee said:
"We of City College, who serve
scholarship, must understand the an-
guish suffered by the faculty and
scholars of German universities.
They have our sincerest sympathy.",!
The committee also approved the
following inscription, which will ap-
pear on the black drapings: "With
profound sympathy for the real Ger-
many and faith in her early restor-
ation."

A Symposium Why did a majority of Rice stu-
On The Owl dents vote against merging the Owl
with the Alumni News? Either they
want a humor magazine at all costs, or they do not be-
lieve the plan will produce a good magazine. At any rate,
since the majority did not constitute three-fourths of the
voters, the council's decision stands, and now that the
merger is definitely adopted, there are three points to
consider.
The Question of the Majority
It has been claimed that although the students did
not vote the three-fourths majority necessary to over-
rule the council, yet the council should bow to the popular
opinion expressed by the simple majority and voluntarily
revoke its decision.
This suggestion came before the council at its meet-
ing Monday, and the members decided to let the decision
stand. It will be as well to try the plan for a few issues,
the remainder of this year, and see if the students like
it. The council has carefully kept the matter under its
control, and the alumni association is willing to relinquish
its interest in the magazine at the council's request.
If toward the end of the year the students strongly
object to the plan, they can present another petition for
an election on the plan, and this time a simple majority
would probably be enough to persuade the council to go
back to the former plan.
Should Students Pay?
We do not favor students paying a compulsory fee
for the new Rice Owl Alumnus. Although we believe
every attempt will be made to please the students, the
magazine is actually less than half under student control,
and that control, through council representatives, is less
direct than the election method.
The Owl Alumnus will not be sufficiently a student
magazine to justify compelling tho students to pay for it.
To forestall some of the iomebacks on this statement, we
say that we think a good case can be made omitting the
Owl Alumnus from the blanket tax without disturbing
the tax as a whole, but if pressed we will admit that we
are not overly in favor of any blanket tax.
And Nobody Cares
But it doesn't make much difference what happens
to the Owl, anyway. Less than five hundred students, half
of them freshmen, were interested enough to vote in the
election Monday.
Blanton and other proponents of the plan, however,
are anxious to create a magazine which will be a credit
und a help to the Institute. Might as well let them try.
Nobody cares anyhow.

God Save Instead of merely "America for Ameri*
America! cans," it has now got to "the universe for
Americans."
And we know because we hear pretty often now the
fervent tones of a song entitled "Qod Save America."
This song isn't intrinsically any woVse than "Qod Save
the King," but the way it is sung is a personal kick in the
pants to Hitler and Mussolini and Stalin, and, we think,
also to the people of Germany, Italy, and Russia, and
maybe some more that we haven't thought of.
The thrill in the singer's voice as she pronounces the
fatal words convinces us that she is consciously damn-
ing every country in the world except the United States.
The sudden popularity of this ditty indicates an un-
healthy American attitude: America calls for salvation,
and at the same time warbles that everybody else is al-
ready far beyond the reach of the deity.
America isn't the only country that may hope to at-
tain prosperity or existence or whatever it wants. In fact,
no asbestos-lined armor is going to protect one country
while the rest are ashes-bound.
Americans who cry "God Save America," and worry
not about the rest of the World are not doing anything
conducive to the continuance of civilization.
O
Dies By Congressman Dies and his committee
Name And are supposed to be investigating un-Ameri-
Nature can activities. Nobody knows what un-
American means. If it means anything, it
means intolerant, for the best statement of Americanism
in the constitution guarantees freedom of press, speech,
thought. No political belief could be said to be un-Ameri-
can.
If the Dies committee should be investigating any-
thing, which nobody can tell until after the investigation,
it should be investigating intolerance in the United
States. We suggest:
Race prejudice in America, even in the South.
Prejudice against amending the constitution.
Prejudice for the framers of the constitution as the
supreme politicians who solved forever the problems of
government.
Prejudice against any political belief spelled with an
i-s-m at the end.
Prejudice against people who don't go to church.
Prejudice against women drivers.
The activities of the Dies committee.

Beauty And Next week, the week before the election
Serenity of the May queen, is annually a season
when strife runs amuck and good will
is shown up for a faker. The unpleasant discord has been
caused in part by delicate coed throat-cutting and in part
by downtown newspapers which have expanded the smoke
from an ordinary fire.
This year, fortunately, factional strife is absent.
With the Women's Council led by a girl with ideas and
ideals who wishes to have the May Fete a thing of beauty
and a joy forever, all parties are content to let the elec-
tions take their normal course. A happy situation.
The normal course of the elections, of course, may
not result in selections which would please either Phidias
or Petty. Although both Societies and independents have
realized that May Fete elections are no place for party
politics (i.e., the groups are upholding no theory or sys-
tem, no cult of beauty), yet the elections are still as much
like popularity contests as beauty choices.
Let us put in a word for an election on beauty. As
we have said before, beauty is skin deep, its own excuse
for being, truth, and a mutter of opinion. Let each voter
name the girls he honestly things most beautiful. Let
each voter name the girls she honestly thinks most beau-
tiful.

"Youth must make up its mind to participate in pub-

Dykstra, University of Wisconsin.
The Wheels Go Round And Round
Political Opinion
Students Evenly Divided , Neutrality Impossible
On Selling To Democracies Kditor of Thresher,
By Student Opinion Surveys of
America
Austin, Texas, March 2—American
foreign policy has flared in head-
lines recently with President Roose-
velt's announcement that the United
States is helping the democracies of
the world to keep in stride in the
European arms race. American pub-
lic opinion approves, to 2, according
to the Gallup poll. But college stu-
dents'' are pretty well divided on the
issue.
By the very slim majority of !i.8
per cent, American collegians last
week voted in favor of selling war
planes to democracies and not to dic-
tatorships, it is pointed out in a
national referendum conducted by the
Student Opinion Surveys of America
for this publication and other coi
operating college newspapers.
Although students have been found
usually more libera,! in their views
than the average citizen, this time
they have registered their opinions in
the closest poll of the twenty-four
subjects used to date by the Student
Opinion Surveys. Perhaps students
are more apprehensive of the fact
that if such a policy leads this
country into war within the next few
years they will be among the first
to be called to the front.
The question asked of a carefully-
selected cross-section everywhere
over the nation was, "Do you ap-
prove of the United States selling
planes to the so-called democratic
countries and not to the so-called
dictator countries?"
Approve 52.8';,
Disapprove 47.2':<
As January ended the President
blankly sold the senate military af-
fairs committee that the United
States should aid Britain and France
in thwarting the objectives of the
Rome-Berlin-Tokyo axis. Shortly be-
fore it had been disclosed that with
the President's blessing France had
been sold tlOO latest-type military
planes.
Students who agree with the Presi-
dent state that the democracies must
Stay together at any cost in stem-
ming the tide of Fascism. Others be-
lieve the sale of aircraft will help
economically and will aid the in-
dustry.
On the other hand the majority of
those opposing say we should sell

in this vvay give England the jilt

fact that she is still a European
power and that our frontier does
not include her.
Of course our frontier does not in-
clude England. But we cannot help
sympathizing with her when we see
the terrible economic struggle iu
England today against Fascism, Eng-
land needs Oelp to remain a democ-
racy. Could not the United States
furnish a little of that help?
And when the United States is
drawn into the next war (neutrality
is an impossibility) it is quite Obvious
that we will fight along side some-
one and that we inusti be prepared to
do our part of the fighting.
Would it: not be giently to our
advantage to be on friendly terms;
with England? Good Lord, look -at
what would happen if we opposed
England: British Honduras would af-
ford an excellent base of operation
against the Panama Canal which, in-
cidentally, could be blown to bits
with a small handful of bombs. Then
the British owned Falkland Islands
control the water route around the
southern tip of South America.
This would certainly put the Amer-
ican fleet in an embarrassing posi-
tion, as we have not yet discovered
the Northwest Passage. But our
friend Mandville would make light
of all kinds, " 'Tis nought," says he.
Another part of our foreign policy,
according to Admiral William D.
Deahy, is the protection of our inter-
ests and nationals abroad. We have
