Make 1930 A Success
We are at the begirihing of a new year with everything before
us, twelve months in which we can better ourselves, or we can
remain in, the same "old rut,"4 What are you going to do with
those twelve Months? Have you definite plans that you honestly
propose to carry out, or arc you goign to continue to drift along
in the same Jold way? ; ' , r. ' , :
As we glance back over the past' year, isn't it distressing to
thijik of allthe things that we planned to do and yet to knew
that they- are not started. We have twelve months in which to do
something, before another new year rolls .around. When next
new'year's day comes around, we should ;be a.J)le to look, back
and say, "I have accomplished something." Let us strive to make
^ ' V
this! year the best, twelve months that has ever passed.

Today Is Yours ,
The past has revealed to you 'its secrets, the future hangs over
you like the mist of the morning, but-the present is clear and dis-
tinct as"the mid-day sun. Therefore, "you are the master of your
fate, and you-are the captain of your eoul." Every day is the
beginning of a new epoch iii your life,.
With the coming of every morning's sun comes-a new oppor-
tunity; The future is resplendent and shining with new things
to1 be accomplished. We are standing on the threshhold of a new
era. Literature, art, science, and commerce have: just begun.
There is no frivolity. There is no'limitation. ; , ■ '' , ,,
The inventor, the ^genius, and the creator have just started
their wwk.^Jjere'are;. a e4t©r;thingi -to' be/than have ever been.
_ You

!. The ethics of the world teacher must be planted in the hearts
of men.: You have 'a. "new leaf" before you. Be true and honest
Rath yourself. Get a good education because tomorrow holds
higher goals than today which can only be coped Svith- through
: better training-. Yqu^- school days, represent your foundation and
thay you build one-that can withfstarid the punishment" of life's
hard knoclcs and stand out tp^win fine accomplishments.

Friendliness
A man without friends is like a ship without a rudder. Many
people, both men and women, have tried to go through life with-
out friends or comrades. It is practically impossible. Friendliness
is the food df your life. You can not1 do without it.
( No Matter how important your friends are, be ,sUre they are
of the right, kind. A "fair-weather" friend. is worse than an
enemy. He or she will pretend to be your ,staunch supporter until
your fortunes change, then they kick you harder than anyone
eise. Be careful in choosing your friends, but when you have
choserf them, be true to them. '
Be cordial in greeting your friends and associates, They will'
appreciate it, and it will'make you feel better.
Exchanges
The J-Tac receives a goodly
number of exchanges. We are ex-
changing publications with some! of
the most important colleges and
high schools in the state, and of
course, we can say in the nation.
We get a great benefit from these
publications. The value , of these
publications can not be ' estimated,
In the l.ast issue.of the Collegian,
we noticed a very exciting and sad
Christmas. We feel sorry for the'
bridegroom. This story may give
rise to an inspiration to some com-
ing novelist to produce the greatest
novel of all time, even greater than
Les Miserables: Even the J-Tac
staff has received an inspiration,
which may be noticed in the great-
er quality in this issue.■<
From "The College Star", we ob-
tain very valuable information a-
bout the college in the hills of Ken-
tucky. This college bears the name
of "Bena' College, the Mirror of the
Mountains." We are interested in
this- college, because we hear that
the students, work. The students
work to pay the expehse of running
the college.
The J-Tac staff appreciate the
help which our exchanges gives as,
and hopes that our publication may
b,e of ,help, ,to the. publications of
other colleges.
"C" Company
Well, gang, we received the "Ex-
cellent Banner" last Friday morn-
ing, We knew all the time that we
could do it. We are as good as any
of the other companies, and we
have proved it now. Of course we
think that we are the best com-
pany. This is true and will remain
true if we stay in there and light.
Drill gang! Straighten up and fight.
Prove that Company "C" is better
and can remain bttter- than any
company on the field. We can do
it; therefore why not?

(By Captain M. W. Gray)
An editorial appearing recently
headed "World Peace" is indeed "a
beautiful thought, or should I say,
a beautiful dream? By reading'
this article one is in danger of be-
ing carried to such lofty heights
on the wings of optimism that one
may never return to earth and
bare facts again. , , .
The editorial states that the man-
ufacturer of large quantities of
munitions of war encourages war,
and that those trained along mili-
tary lines want war, as they desire
their efforts utilized. May I say
that the present writer has served
30 years in the military service
and believes that he is in position
to judge more accurately than
those with less service or no ser-
vice at all. -
The writer's observation of the
trained soldier is that he/ of all
persons, is the last to encourage
war. Does not the brunt of all
wars fall to the lot of the well-
trained soldier? Is he such ah ab-
normal person that h'e prefers the
horrors of war to the comforts, of
peace? Is there any-\pleisure in
going without; food for days; ah|d
sleeping in muddy shellholes' and
having some one shoot at you while
doing so? Is "there anything nice
about having your friends, rela-
tives, and loved ones killed? No,
my friendsWar is- just what pen-
era! Sherman said it was (and his
definition was lightly put:1)/, There
is only one thing wprse than.war,
and that is for .people of a coun-
try to sit idly by and let the wolves
of the world ravish their .country
and destroy their homes; that
would be worse than death.
Nd, we are not ready to. do away
with all national defense, and1 will
not be'for some. time. We have
not advanced to that stage of'id-
eation and civilization where we
can afford to do so. ..
The following headline appeared
in a local paper recently: "Shadow
of Italy's Duce and Dreams of Con
quest Qloud Naval Parley Table."
Bear in mind, please, that 'Italy
belongs to the League of Nations
This article goes on to say: "it.iis-
solini, Italy's dictator, is giying th
Old World the Worst case of goose
flesh it has had since the days of
Napoleon." Treaties and agree
ments wili Be treaj^Cas^fit.a s^Sap
of paper-foif some time to qome
yet, a! they \vere \ treated by the
Kaiser in 1914-191&. It,'is still a
.cftserof-the' survival of the fittest.
The only way we believe .peace
is to fight for it. A country',that
is well prepared for War is, a coun-
try respected by all nations. Just
as long as individuals will disagree
nations will disagree. .Are not na-
tions made up of individuals?-'
The editorial on World Peace
states that our boys thought that
they were fighting a war.to1'.end
war, and that-if they we're not,
they die<l'.in.vain. I want- tQ,-i?ay.
in answer to this that if our boys
thought that they were fighting ' to
end war they nevei- said so ,in:.this
writer's, presence; and as to this
writer, who . went through it" all,
such a thought never entered his!
mind. _ /':-!■
And as to our boys, dying in yain,
I might ask, did General Washing;-
ton and his followers think that
they were fighting a war to , end
war, and did they fight and die, in
vain? Also Crockett and his fol-
lowers of the Alamo, the greatest
heroes of all time, did they die in
vain? I believe that the, soldiers
of the late war had one predomi-
nate thought in mind, and that was
to subdue the Kaiser and, his fol-
lowers and by s'o doing bring peace
to the world and to show Germany
that she could not disregard ^trea-
ties, agreements and international
laws in general and go Unopposed.
The great .majority of the citi-
zens of the United States believe
in adequate defense for. our coun-
try, but these citizens are not or-
ganized, while those ;that believe in
World Peace or peace at- any price
are far in the minority bj.it are well
organized and entrenchecj. ,;t l^et
those that preach .^orld" * 'Pea'£e
please give us a stabilized, logical
solution as to how to attain it,-and
we will all be happy and will fall
in line; but unless they can do so,
we are unwilling to trust our coun-
try and homes to the good behavior
of others. - i
We can observe the,uttor ijripps:
siblity of World Peace at this; time
by merely coming into contact with
folks in our every day life, in the
sopial and business world. W^'will
have World Peace when hatred,
jealousy, and selfisnness. are driven
from the hearts of men, ami i hat
will be when the Prince of -Peace
reigns supreme here on this old
earth of ours and the Prince of the
present world is chained and
thrown into . the bottomless pit.
Then, and not until then, will our
dream of World Peace, be realized
and the Utopian form' of govern-
ment that we have so long hoped
for, begin. "■

Passmg- In Review
By COBPOEAL PUNISHMENT
The effects ■ of :the holidays seem
to be slowly, wearing off. ■ ;
,We wonder how the report cards
looked to the ones who made all
"As" or the honor roll. General
Bule remarks-that he never saw
one of his own unless it was patri-
otic. That is, it was in red, white
and blue.
There is a slight rumor out that
Mr. Garrett is going to give a real
test in Spanish. (The test will not
be slight!) , . , ,.
Probably a few improvements will
be made in three of the letter com-
panies .before the competitions. ;Oi
course, only a few little things such
as the, mandal;C?f . arms, ; and the
movements involving marching will
need more precision and snap. -How-
ever, it isf supposed that the1 dis-
cipline could, be improved in some
Way to a slight extent. . ; ;i
