over-emphasized if horror can be over emphasized. But the thing
that changes a shrinking dread to a mad zest for the excitement
of war is newspaper publicity. The dreaded things of war are sel-
dom recited in a newspaper they emphasize REASONS they
talk patriotism. And we hear the truth sometimes from the lips
of those left alive from the book they sometimes write.
Today the world is sane. Boys and girls men and women-
unprejudiced by publicity still can see what they want. May
we always remain the same even should Hearst change I The

PROFESSOR. WHAT'S VOIR RATE?
An investigation made by the student publications at Texas
University of what student. really think of their professors start-
ed reverberations echoing throughout the contemporary collegiate
press. Some of the student papers a bit contemptuous titled
their editorials "What That Again?" Others wondered shyly
what such a survey would uncover on their own campuses. A
few others hitched up their galluses and tried to lay the qualifi-l
cations that made up a good teacher. The Daily Maroon of the '
University of Chicago laid down seven sensible requirements"
which professors and instructors should strive to obtain. Fol-
lowing are these requirements:

A lucid example of the latter type of crossing of social tracks
which involves entire nations can be seen in Africa at the pres-
ent where the entire northeast section of that continent is the
scene of bitter dispute between one people who have inherited

It seems that the Daniel Baker exes
were well represented at Sherman last
week end. Although they were few
in numbers they easily made up this
deficiency with the noise that they
made if we are to believe reports
that come drifting back over the
grapevine route. This galaxy of ex-
students that we are referring to was
composed of the one and only Abe Da-
vis the very genial Emory Murray
and our old pal Joe Trammel. A story
connected with one little incident on
the trip has to do with a wire fence.
The first time that the story was told
the fence was five or six feet high
but with each re-telling of the incident
the fence gets higher. We wonder how
high the fence will eventually be! At
any rate a good time was reported by
one and all.
Mention of Joe Trammel reminds
many an ex-student of the day in Abi-
lene when a scrapping band of Hill
Billies smothered everything that a
highly-touted Simmons team had to
offer' and defeated them by an over-
whelming score. Notwithstanding his
size. 'Guts" was all over the field that
day and into every play. Most notice-
able was his play on punts when he
and "Ug" Montgomery would invari-
ably be right on top of the Simmons

for him. The old bell caused quite a
loss of sleep In Brownwood that night!

thing interesting!" These and many
other .questions present themselves
each week. And the same old stuff
kepes going in.

FREEDOM OF THE COLLEGE PRESS
The press of America is free. It has cast off its fetters and
chains and it lives to speak the belief prompted by its heart. Log-
ically the college press of America is also free. No restrictions
say the written laws of our land.
So the college prints what it likes with a few minor excep
tions.
The college authorities must remain inviolate. Like the king
Hitler and Mussolini they can do no wrong.
College traditions must carry on unflayed. However moth
eaten however absurd they may become they are a thing of
beauty and a joy forever. Such they must remain.
Anyone or anything connected with the school income is as
Caesar's wife above reproach. Criticism of state officials is jour-
nalistic heresy and lo! the poor cub who commits the sacrilege.
The newspaper as a student organ voicing student opinion in its
truth and entirety is quite securely tied by purse-strings.
There must be no department infringement on publicity. The
paper make-up is entirely in the hands of the editor. He has
carte-blanche and all the latitude in the world but if Depart-
ment A crashes into print for half a column Department B and C
and D must be given equal space of equal prominence with the
result that major stories have to be sandwiched in between quiz
announcements and minor conventions.
To insure undeviating parade of the little line the paper is
supervised. And if it is not a good little paper its gets no supper.
Furthermore if it continues to be a problem child it is put quiet-
ly out of existence and only those complain who still believe in
the fable of untampered publication.
The press is free. So is advice but somebody usually pays
for both of them in the end. Lass-O.

The water district's application to
the PWA is for funds to construct an
irrigation distribution system in Pe-
can Bayou valley below Brownwood

His recommendation for a continu-

"The men in the camp have been
employed In improving and beautify-

park is adjacent to a wonderful lake
belonging to the Brown County Wa-
ter Improvement District. With pro-
per Improvement this park will be one
of the great attractions of all this
Southwest territory.
"It is highly desirable that the camp
be maintained at this point for an ad-

largely destroy the value of the work
already done. I very much hope that
you may be able to authorize its con-

WAR?
The attitude of the average college student toward a war in
the near future is much discussed and written about in contem-
porary literature. It is discussed we venture to say by college
students as much as any other one subject and opinions vary lit-
tle. The differences are all on the same side "We want no war !"
Two generations ago just previous to the World War young
men and women were of a similar opinion. Then miraculously
and almost overnight opinion changed. The nation was in a
fever of excitement.
columns. It is true that war-making
machinery is held together by a very
thin rotten thread; but as I said be-
fore if the Ethiopeans continue to
turn their backs on Ethiopia the war
will be over before the League of Na-
tions or England can do anything
about It. England must certainly want
Italy to keep her hands off Ethiopia
but unless she docs something soon
she will have no reason to attack
Italy. However Dr John says that
power never lacks a reason. So what!
Maybe another world war maybe
not! I don't think so. Anyway I re-
fuse to worry about It.
Even though war should spread
throughout Europe and Asia we
Americans have every reason to be-
lieve that WE will not be drawn into
the conflict. President Roosevelt does
not want war. Congress does not
want war. And best of all the great
American people don't want war.
Nothing short of an Invasion would
stir our fighting blood which if stir-
red would mean the downfall of any
foolish aggressor.
