During those two weeks, a lot of hours and a lot of grade points can be won or lost, and it is to your best advantage that you win them, not lose them. Admittedly, as the semester’s end ap proaches, coming social events and other distractions may take your mind off of your books, but be that as it may, your primary purpose in living on this campus is to get those old g.p.s. Plow in, boys, and ’twill be a great day tomorrow when we have successfully closed the door on this semester, advanced a notch in our rating on the campus, and can get a new start with a new schedule of new courses. Something to Read New Books The Library has received three new books on the subject which, next to winning the war, is the most important one before us; that of winning the peace. Edward H. Carr’s Conditions of Peace is concerned both with the fundamental issues at stake in what he explicitly calls this revolution and with outlines of policy after the war. He sees the revolution, which began with the first world war, as being against certain nineteenth cen tury practices: liberal democracy, national self-determination, and laissez-faire econom ics. The new democracy, which is to be born out of the revolution, must interpret the terms “liberty” and “equality” in economic terms. Political rights must win over eco nomic power, and the benefactors of democ racy must assume a responsibility for mak ing their self-government work. In discussing the roles of various na tions after the war, Mr. Carr, an English man, is concerned with the part Britain will play at home, in her relation to conquered Germany, to Europe, and the world. That it must not be the part of an isolationist he is positive. The smaller democracies of Eur ope may well take exception to Mr. Carr’s plan for the continued power of a few na tions and the submerged roles of such coun tries as Holland, Denmark, and Belgium. Peter Dr'ticker in his persuasive, intel ligent book, The Future of Industrial Man calls himself a conservative and this study a conservative approach. To those who vision with dismay the appropriation of industry by the state his conservatism will be heart ening. Mr. Drucker acknowledges Industrial Man as the man of tomorrow, but he warns us that we have a task in giving industrial man the secure knowledge that his life— bound up with industry—has both dighity and meaning. If we fail to do this we must given Industry to the State. In The Principles of Power Guglielmo Ferrero explores his background to show how he arrived at what he designates as the two kinds of government, the legitimate and the illegitimate. He had a first hand knowledge of an illegitimate one, Fascism, because he watched Mussolini come to power in his native Italy. He was astonished at the brutal acts of the new masters: acts which indicated that the government, though all powerful, was afraid. He concluded, however, that fear is always present between gov ernment and its subjects. When a govern ment is accepted by the people; when it is not dependent upon force and terror for its survival, it becomes a legitimate govern ment. QiiotaMe Quotes “During this most critical period in our his tory, national unity is of extreme import ance. For the purpose of winning the war and protecting our national interests, it is imperative that congress receive the respect and enjoy the confidence of the public to which it is justly entitled, and of which it is proving itself worthy.” Dr. George S. Ben son, President, Harding college, calls for a lessening of public criticizm of congress. -THE BATTALION- Open Forum PRIVATE BUCK By Clyde Lewis TO THE AGGIES When you go You leave the Academic Building With the flag waving high and Sul Ross Standing bravely in the sun. You will leave your Post Office box, Metallic and shiny, that has held Many letters from home and a few From “Up Denton Way.” You leave your roommate, And your roommate’s kid brother, and Your Battery Commander, and his Bud dy, And his roommate’s Buddy. You leave that corner room You have been so proud of—the calendar You put on the wall, and the funny sticker That has been on the door for years. You will leave the moonlight walks back To the Dorm that came after a show, Or a “Town Hall” at Guion, Or a dance. You will leave Kyle Field And the yelling mob of friends at a Home game, and everyone singing THE SONG. You will leave the drill field, too, The review on Armistice day — the hushed Silence and the salute^—and the Final Review when you saw your bro ther Cry and couldn’t figure it out because You weren’t even a Fish then.

Military weddings are popular during war time and they furnish more pageantry than the usual formal type. The head groomsman usually directs the rehearsal and the military orders for the wedding. An invitation is a nicer compliment than an announcement; it should include an in vitation to the reception. Announcements should be sent, when there have been no in vitations issued—they do not require gifts. The bride-to-be and her mother select, the invitations and mail them, but the groom-to-be must furnish his guest list to be included with that of the bride’s. The trip back to an army post may, in many cases, furnish a nice honeymoon trip and save on the expenses, too.
