Why?. Taft Says Great U.S. Land Army W ould W eaken Defense T HE CRITICAL foreign situation has re duced local matters to secondary impor tance, but there is a policy of the fiscal of fice that we feel obligated to submit to the court of public opinion. Students who have been late with their fee remittances are aware of the fact that a penalty accrues at the rate of one dollar per day. If the fees are not paid within a prescribed period, the student is summarily dropped from the rolls of the College. A close examination of this policy gives rise to several questions. Can we consider a practice legally and morally ethical that makes ordinary usury appear no more intolerable than a Sunday School picnic? Why exactly one dollar a day, or if one dollar is good wouldn’t two be better? Since the fiscal office has the By ROGER D.

T HERE is some talk of going back to the “two ocean” concept in order to avoid intimate contact with European, intrigues and wars. However, airpower and the shrinking globe have invalidated this idea once and for all. Where the Russians strike is purely a matter of choice, not a matter of convenience. Washington is as vulnerable as Paris. The shocking part is the difference be tween European and American ethics in re gard to diplomacy and war. Trade with the enemy is old stuff in Europe. In World War II, Switzerland did a flourishing busi ness handling our trade with Germany, and handling German shipments to the Italian front over their neutral Alpine railway. Other equally shocking events could be quot ed, but it is just a matter of ethics. In view of these facts, security is on the way out. Europe has lived with uncer tainty for many generations, and conquer ors can come and go as long as business is good. Incidentally, history shows that treat ies in Europe are observed only as long as benefit accrues to the parties concerned.

Republican A much-heralded contest chal lenging the election of Rep. Ed-, ward T. Dicker of Dallas, the legis lature’s lone Republican, failed to materialize. Dicker took his oath of office along with the other 149 House members, wiped his brow, and took the seat now definitely his. “What a relief, what a relief,” Dicker sighed. There had been talk of a challenge on the basis he was not a poll tax holder when elected. Dicker is the first avowed GOR Texas legislator since 1933. Four bangs with a heavy iron headed gavel actually started the session at 12 noon sharp in the House. Secretary of State John Ben Shepperd told the members: “No other legislature in the his tory of Texas has had such a great opportunity for real and lasting service.” LI’L ABNER So This is the End By Al Capp Austin, Jan. 10- Emmett Trant, Jerry Clement, Bob Hendry...-.™.
