Neither system would be acceptable to the people of this country, he said this/Week, revealing that he was one of 60 educators whose views on Communism were sought by a newspaper syndicate. The American people would object te Fascism because they do not like to be ordered about, he declared. “The President of the United States for a few days seemed to be proceeding as a Fascist dictator when he ordered airplane contracts cancelled,* said Dr. Moore ‘The American people are almost unani mously behind him, but they were not behind him in that action and a stern murmer went ap that he was not proceeding by due process of law. .

A move is now 1 underway at the University of Texas for the combining of the school's minor holidays into such a vacation as we now enjoy during the spring recess period. il \ Such a move for the combining of all tbt, holidays of the school year into a period of four days, we dare shy, would be welcomed by the students of any of our neighboring schools, but so far we are the only ones to enjoy the holidays after w-hich the other students are working. .And since we are the ones who receive the benefits of a spring recess, shouldn’t we make the best of it, whether it be looking for a position to go to after school is out, four days at home with the family and. the sweet young thing, or staging at school to enjoy the Ross Volunteer festivities. “I think somebody must have been spoofing the good doctor.
