The Perpetual Borrowers
He is in every school; he is in every phase of public and private
life; he is a nuisance; sooner or later everybody will come to despise
him; in time he becomes a criminal or a social hindrance, because he
fails to make his own way in the world. This indictment is directed
at none other than the professional borrower.
The professional boi’rower never provides himself with the neces
sary equipment for performing his daily tasks, and he is a “sponger.”
He saps out the patience, courtesy, and graciousness of his associates.
He should be condemned. To tolerate him is to place a premium on
inefficiency and slovenliness.
All students and faculty members are urged to fill out the Bat
talion ballot and return it before Saturday. A ballot box will be placed
in the rotunda of the Main Building for all ballots not collected by
first sergeants.
Give the questions your serious consideration before filling out
the ballot. Are the students and teachers here representative of peo-
file over the state? Do college students think? Do they have their
oycn opinions and views? We shall see.
FILL OUT THE BALLOT NOW AND TURN IT IN.

A campus-wide vote on prohibi-
ion, disarmament, compulsory mili
tary training, and birth control is
being sponsored by The Battalion
this week, in this issue. Colleges all
over the country have sounded stu
dent opinion on these subjects, and
great stress has been placed upon
the question of disarmament and
compulsory R.O.T.C., in line with
the current move for peace pro
grams.
Many colleges have voted down
military training, many have sup
ported it, and a recent poll among
the alumni of the colleges has
shown them to be almost unani
mously in favor of R.O.T.C. the score to six.
