Much has bean written about how the

greater interest in their studies, but
written or said about the collegiate dead Wood, the
digging, useIr*s appendage which slows thd.pi ■
grass of say college or university.
Most of these parasites fortunately are Wimmat
ed in the undergraduate years. Slimes sad sophs
boob find that they must either study to ifmaia in
school, or be aakec to leave.
Nevertheless, mdeh deadwood remais* and
menaces all collegiate life. It is this element that
runs around in sporty ears and incites others to
loaf. This is the element that the public aeM; tUa la

THE STUDENT FORUM
(Editor’s note: This is reproduced exactly
the article came to The Battalion office. The editor
ial "Underhanded Politics’’ was written by the Odi-
in-chief, ss is customary, and represented the edi
torial policy of the psper in that it was int

TO THE BATTALION:
UNDERHANDED POLITICIANS LNDKR
\ HANDED I T I
What has seemingly turned into s hot political
issue had Hts beginning when the Tuesday
failed, intentionally or otherwise, to carry
count whatsoever of the annual ball of
organisationswell known to have been
the Infantry Regiment for the simple reason that
It has been the only organization to hape been
completely neglected in the Tuesday Battalion.
That week u representative of the paper asked for
a writeup of the affair, which was promptly pre
pared and together with pictures of the Orchestra
leader sent to the Battalion Office well ahead of
"going to press.” A satisfactory explanation has
been given for the omission of the pictureaj but, as
yet, none for the story. .
That issue of The Battalion may have been
tight, but it eras tightened with a wedge of an
announcement of the candidacy of a candllaU for
editor which received as mi^ch space as wap finally
allotted to the dance in the Friday issue.
The “clique" is not inierestod in whether the
omission was due to the inability of the Upe-col-
umns to stretch or to the deliberate action of the
editor; the fact remains that the Infaatryj
Sophomores, and Freshmen have suffered pn addi
tional assessment to cover u substantial lorn caused
by the omission of a very important announcement
especially for the benefit of day students, causing
an unexpected and hard-felt slump in tklert sales.
r At this pqint we wish to plagerixe a bK on the
wonderful Tmeday editorial by stating that the laid
clique is not 'well-defined—AND ANY RUMORS
j THAT IT IS SET IN ITS POLITICAL P0UC1ES
! ARE BASE XIES USED AS UNDERHANDED
CAMPAIGN MUD-SLINGING IN THEM$ELVES.
But we also want to add that it is possible to
build up a political sentiment as powerful and a?
far-reaching as any begged for by the recurrence of
articles such as Tuesday’s editorial.

went over the heads of the War and Navy depart
ments in sanctioning the sales. A survey of the ;
administration foreign policy leaves little doubt
that the President favors active cooperation with
the democratic states of Europe,” affirmed the
University of Minnesonta “Daily.”
A broader implication is seen by the Harvard
University “Crimson”; “Isolationist senators who
picture economic support of Franc, symbolized by
presidential approval of the sal* at some 900 air
planes—as leading the American people down the
road to war, ignor America’s stake in the peaceful
resolution ot European difficulty. Realistically
speaking, it is futile \p talk of isolation. Inescapable
is the conclusion that America, by reenforcing pos
itive resistance to the totalitarian state*, is pro
moting in the only practical Map.possible her own
peace and security.” !
