Petty, Weichertand Wallace
IVill Enter Drake Relays
Tomorrow at Des Moines, Iowa,
three Rice Owls, David Weiehert, J. C.
Petty, and Bill Wallace, will enter the
Drake relays, one of the largest relay
meets of the year. The Owls will not
be represented in the relay events.
The Owl relay team returned to
Houston this week because of injuries
to "Sirioky" Brothers and "Doe" Metz-
ler. suffered last Saturday at the Kan-
sas-relays. Minus the services of ihese
two stars, .EmmcM Branson. Owl
coach, was unable to enter his, team
in the Iowa meet. ... ■
Weiehert, star pole vaulter of the
Owls, will enter that event. Petty
will enter the discus. Last week at
Kansas Petty threw the discus 154
feet to set a new meet record. He is
favored to wit) h specialty again to-
morrow.
Bill Wallace will again compete in
the 120-yard high hurdles and has an
excellent chance <o win that: event.
Last Saturday Wallaces- starting
blocks slipped as he got off, and he
was slowed in starting so that he was
not able to overcome the handicap.
This meet has attracted one of the
largest fields of star athletes in its
history for the meet this year. One
of the featured races will be a spe-
cial mile race between Glenn Cun-
ningham, holder of the present World
record in the mile, and Dawson of
Oklahoma, conqueror of Cunningham
last week at the Kansas relays. Many
other individual stars are entered, and
it is probable that several meet rec-
ords will be lowered tomorrow.

Dear Editor:
Last year there appeared an article
in the Engineering Show Edition of the
Thresher by this writer, the contents
to the effect that the ridicule spent
upon the Engineer must come to an
end. Since that time there have ap-
peared in the same paper a number of
attempts to keep the pot boiling. It is
far from any engineer's intentions td
continue a feud, but enough is enough.
In a feature of a few weeks ago a
certain uninformed author was so bold
as to state that the engineer as a busi-
ness man or as a follower of his pro-
fession comes at the bottom of the
"successful" ratings, Any active busi-
ness man can truthfully say that en-
gineers or men with engineering train-
ing are the most competent arid effi-
cient men to fill not only positions fit
for their particular training but also
the most responsible executive posi-
tions. This is not only a boast but a
statement of facts. All industry today
is built around the engineer and the
developments he has made- Of course
there are the entrepreneurs and work-
ers which are indespensible (it is a
damn shame that we senior engineers
have to sit through a dull lecture three
times a week when it could hove been
as easily accomplished during the un-
knowing age of the Sophomore).
This writer also mentioned the pres-
ent prominence of the engineer in the
last year's article. Everyone has par-
ticularly noticed the large number of
engineers at the Saturday Nite Hops.
Reference is not made to particular
cases but to the general conditions that
exist. It is with firm belief in the
truth of the above statements that I
say that any accusations of seclusive-
the Owls will
travel to . Dallas to meet the S. M. U.: ness are unfounded and without ex-
tern)! in their second match of the year i cuse. The only possible opening stud-
..with,!' eojiferetw opponent. Hess, wl)0 j ents have is that our courses are so

gret, that wo engineers would like to
spend more in the realms of the
Academc. but there is an insufflcieiicv
of time, as it now is, for the engineer to
spend the required time in the neces-
sary places much less join others in the
rare and delightful i intrigue of a bit of
a chat.
It is with hope and profound sin-
cerity that I beseech the almighty Aca-
dem to lend a moment's time to a sec-
ond thought when about to make the
proverbial reference: "Well, he is an
engineer and stays in the ML all the
time".
N. G. NEER.
Eighty Per Cent—
(Continued from Page J)
I do not say this with any bitterness.
I myself am not suffering. But others
are. Splendid young Italians, healthy,
rational, educated, And the search for
jobs terribly disappointing for no
other reason than that tens of thou-
sands of their young fellow-country-
men have clearer jjheist credentials,
direct or indirect, than they have."
That suggests the old party prin-
ciple, 'To the victor belong the spoils'."
"It unquestionably, in many in-
stances, has that character in prac-
tice."
ALL GOVERNMENTS ALIKE
"Is there any conceivable form of
government which would be different
in that respect?"
"Human nature being what it is,
probably not; but ho one ever can
eradicate resentment in a thinking
country where all the power, emolu-
ments, and numberless advantages of
government are confined almost whol-
ly to a privileged elite."
"Even if that elite be of acknowl-
edged high morality and competence?"
"Even so. But there is always a
question about the high morality of
privilege, I think there is a higher
morality in fairness, in equality of
opportunity, among persons equally
subject to the burdens and the de-
mands of government, It is not only
the elite who, for example, must pay
the taxes or fight the battles of a
country."
FASCISM EXPENSIVE
"Are youp taxes in Italy high?"
"Very. Faslcsm is clear-headed,
courageous, efficient enterprising,
smart in appearance, all-ramifying.
Whether it he more ex-
however, than other forms of
government, even lest efficient forms,
probably may be doubted. It it not
the quality or cost of Fascism to
which its opponents object; it is Fas-
cism's excluslvlsm and denial of the
right of freedom of conscience and
mind,"
"In what way is liberty of personal
movement hampered in Italy?"
"Well, one's whole life is constantly
under official observation. One's af-
filiations are watched. Perfectly in-
nocent fellowships may excite suspi-
cion. You dare not go exploring, in-
tellectually, in Italy as you might wish.
If you Want to go abroad, you must
say why and for how long, and you
must convince the authorities that
your proposed journey has no impli-
cations unfavorable to Fascism."
MUSSOLINI NO CAESAR
"Should you call Mussolini a Caesar-
ist?"
"His rule has Caesarist aspects, but
he is not a Caesar. One must remem-
ber that the great majority of Italians
are with him. True, they have no
part in politics. It is not in the least
their affair, But they admire their
brilliant and fearless leader and are
ready to support him with their for-
tunes and their lives. A public man
like that cannot be called a Caesar.
President Roosevelt has great personal
power, yet no one calls him a Caesar.
He got his power, to be sure, consti-
tutionally, as Mussolini did not; and
what the Congress gave it can take
away. lU(ly has no parliamentary de-
vice for taking away the authority of
Mussolini. Still both executives, in
reality, are the servants of public
opinion."
"If Mussolini lost the confidence of
Italy, could he carry on?"
"I doubt if any ruler in the modern
world could carry on very long with
his country against him."
PLEA FOR LIBERALISM
"Are you yourself against Fascism?"
"Only in a qualified way. I appre-
ciate its great qualities and its great
service to Italy. My feeling is, never-
theless, that the regime could be lib-
eralized with benefit to both itself and
the country."
"Is any such liberalism in sight?"
"I cannot see it."
"Are the academic youth of Italy
against war?"
"Yes; all Italy is against war. We

do, however, have a great regard for
the efflciencies of body, moral#, and
mind which make successful w&rf&ro
possible. We like strong bodies, firm
wills, and capable minds. We want
such an Italy as will not invite ag-
gression or wrong. But we hope and
work for peace. We desire strength
in order that we may be an effective
influence for peace. Distinguished
Italian capabilities, we think, ought to
play a creditable role in the great
drama of peaceful human progress."
NO CONFIDENCE IN LEAGUE
' Have you confidence in the League
of Nations?"
The young man smiled and shook
his head.
"On the whole," he saidi "we are
struck rather more by the League's
ineptitudes and futilities than by its
solid achievements. We want to see
more international disinterestedness
and thoroughgoing purpose in the
League's work. Perhaps one day
what it does will be worthy of what
it dreams. Its latest activities, one
must admit, have been its best,"
"Should you favor a movement to
make the youth of the world better
acquainted with one another and to
bring some sort of unity into their ef-
forts for the general welfare of man-
kind?"
"Ah, that would be a much more
promising thing than the League of
Nations or any of the pacts! That,
eventually, would create the interna-
tional psychology which the League of
Nations and the pacts now need and
lack! Of all persons, I suppose, the
young are the freest from prejudice
and the most truy idealistic. They
are not soured. They are generous.
They are the heirs of at least what
light the world has. And they have
the courage to march. Perhaps, as
myself a young man, I should hesitate
to say these things. But I believe
them. And what is more desirable
than that one should speak as one's
emotions and convictions command? I
am heartily in favor, and every young
man I know is heartily in favor, of a
union of the hearts and minds of the
youth of the world for dealing with
all its problems and interests from

Jim said heyd smoked a lot of ciga-
