For Glory, God, and Duty

Editorial comment on Mussolini’s African
undertaking has analyzed his motives and objec—
tives from every conceivable angle, but very
little is being said about the motives of the
Italian people. After years spent in bolstering
up our belief that the people of the world don‘t
want war, we are suddenly being confronted
with pictures of the smiling faces of young
Italians dressed in uniforms that accent ate their
rugged masculinity, sailing away to taste at first
hand the horrors of war, and obviously liking it.

In explaining this peculiar phenomenon we
really have very little to go on. Back in 1917
every one believed that the Germans were a dc-
praved race who delighted in nailing‘babies to
the sides of barns, and it was thus easy to un-
derstand how the Kaiser could raise an army to
invade Belgium. But the Italians—aren’t they
the people who are always singing those light
hearted songs?

’Can it be that these care—free folkhavc been
persuaded that the Ethiopians _ e '
thing to deserve being blown to gory bits in their
mud huts by aerial bombs, men, women, and
children together? 01‘ maybe they’ve been hold—
ing out on us, and while we were sincerely re—
nouncing war as an instrument of national
policy, they had their fingers crossed and were
merely waiting for a chance to play soldier with
somebody who could be counted on not to play
back so embarrassingly in earnest as to drop a
few bombs on mama and the kids back home in
Rome.

in the face of the sure knowledge that a real,
bigtime war between two powers with modern
military equipment will leave civilization totter—
ing, if not actually fallen, we still find young men
like ourselves willing to follow a man of iron as
he plays with fire in defiance of the world. Be-
cause they have been told so, they consider that
they are acting in defense of their country, de-
fending her from the injustice and greed of her
traitorous allies.

And in America the same press that sent us
into a war with Spain to avenge the sinking of
one of our ships by an obscure military sect
whose motive was probably not even clear to
themselves, the same press that built up the Ger-
man atrocity legend and sent a million Americans
overseas to make sure that our munitions mak—
ers would not fail to collect for the materials
they had supplied to the Allies, is urging that the
young men of the nation prepare to defend it.
When it needs defending is apparently to be left
to their judgment; we, like the Italians, must be
ready to go when we are told.

he still draws cheers. But not so long ago, George
M. Cohan was drawing cheers with another
“Over There”.

It was the first street fight of the season, and from
the center of a swirling crowd of sophomores come the
voice of the freshman caught withdut his toppel‘flupm

“Thirty- mine!” he shouted, and on a iising intlcction.

“Thirty— nine!”

But came no answering call, no hurry of rescuing

Pl KAPPA PH}

The house is now at the height
of Rush Week.

The dance Saturday night was a
huge success. Roy Gordon‘s orches-
tra furnished the rhythmic music
that everyone danced to their
heart’s content through the whole
evening. Many Pi Kapp alumni
danced once more in their old
haunts.

The Monte Carlo party was well
run by our alumni, Brothers Even,
Goldsborough, and Janak. Every-
one had a good time trying to in—
crease the amount of their phoney
money at the various games of
chance.

Brother Leake, our National Exec-
utive Secretary from Richmond, was

,1 very much in prominence around the

house, and his southern jokes made
a big hit with the rushecs.

Pill KAPPA SlGMA

Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Phi Kap-
pa Sigma is in full swing and bus-
ily engaged in the many and va-
ried activities of “Rush Week.” The
dance held last Saturday night to
the tune of Don Nash’s orchestra,
and the banquet on Monday night
were overwhelming successes. These
functions were both well attended
and the dance drawing over 75 pe0~
plc.

We also wish to thank the alumni
and “Mother’s Club” for their splen-
did cooperation during the past few
weeks.

TREANGLE

The hectic period through which
we are passing restricts our activ—
ities to rushing alone. We know
that the Freshman Class will say
the same.

Nevertheless we have had quite
a few alumni visit the house to as
sist in the rushing. A goodly num—
ber of them attended the rush dance
last Saturday night.

We sincerely hope that our guests
of the Freshman Class did enjoy
themselves at this dance. if on-
joyment were to be judged by the
number present, we know that they
did.

It gives us great pleasure to an‘
nounce the pledging of Carl Peter-
son, E. E. ’37. A great crowd en-
joyed the music of Roy Lind and
his orchestra at our first Tush dance
last Friday night. The freshmen
were adequately supplied with dates
since there were a bevy of beauties
from the sororities of Northwestern
campus. Alfred Mal, graduate of
thisChapter, and prominent Chicago
Industrial designer, has been spend—
ing a great deal of time at the house,
as has Spencer Gone, and Fred Schu-
ler. Twick Davidson and John Davis
warmed up with a round of golf last
Saturday in preparation for the an-
nual fall school tournament.

Massachusetts Institute of Tech»
nology has planned a further adven-

g: peering with the and so»
cial aspects of life. This is a ful-
ther development of the same type
of basic principle fundamental to
the establishment of the engineering
science course at Armour Institute.

In the September 15th issue of the
New York Times, Doctor Karl T.
Compton, president of Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, described an
experiment which they were conduct-
ing to establish the cultural value of
a sound technical training.

Both Massachusetts and Armour
Institute of Technology have recog~
nized the values of a broad educa-
tion in basic engineering principles
when they are combined with studies
in economics and the social sciences.

The advantages of these addition-
al studios in the engineering curri-
culum can be easily recognized by
the increasing importance which the
sciences play in the business and so-
cial world. It will bring into de—
mand the engineer who possesses
the ability to unite his work to the
public relations which he will meet.

 

 

are being made 101' an active and
successful season. The year’s events
opened with our Annual Smoker
held last Saturday night at the home
of Gus Freund at which time pros»
pcctive members were introduced to
the organization and the alumni.
Stanley Bernstein, our past Prior,
who graduated last June, is now
Proportional Engineer for the State
Highway Department at Peoria, Il-
linois and visited us last week.

With Professm Hemy L. Nach-
man and Coach “Sonny” Weissman
as guests of honor, the Rho Delts
ushered in the rushing season with
their first smoker of the semester.
Professor Nachman spoke a few
words to the guests, actives, and
numerous alumni, and was followed
latei by Brother Syd Cole M. E. ‘24
with his famous and oft repeated “i
side outside” story.

Ping-pong, pool and bridge along
with just “plain talk,” and also
doing justice to the “smokes” and
refreshments were some of the fea-
tures of the evening.

KAPPA. DELTA EPSILON

With the new house at 3251 S.
Michigan Ave. in good shape for the
coming,r year and rushing now under
way the fellows are looking forward
to a hectic social season.

Last Friday a Rushing Smoker
was held at the house. The evening
consisted of movies of last year‘s
Rush with various scenes of other
school activities, ping-pong, cards,
and refreshments. By all accounts
the affair was a great success.

Brother Morton Fineman has left
the Institute to matriculate at Chi~
cage University, where he is ma-
joring in chemistry. We all Wish
him success in hisi"chosen profes-

 

sion.

 

 

 

One of the important functions of
this column is to mention the re-
sults of judgments, and in so doing,
only mentions can be mentioned;
half-mentions and socks cannot be
mentioned, because if they could be
mentioned they would not he socks
or half~mentions, they would have to
be mentions.

 

Therefore, when we mention the
results of the summer problem, ”A
CANOE TRIP,” only the mentions
will be mentioned. The recipients
of the mentions were the two
SCI-IREIBERS, PFENDT, VAN
SCOYOC, and WEITING.

 

Mr. BEERSMAN established a
new precedent by allowing a stu-
dent jury to judge the senior sketch
problem for a “FIRE HOUSE.” The
jury was headed by A. J. ROSEN
and the judgment and criticism was
very accurate. The two highest rat-
ings were those of WEITING and
OLSON, who received a one and
two, in that order.

 

Mr. McCAUGHEY became very ef-
fusive while cxpounding the theory
that a ballustrade made up of con-
trasting darks and lights was very
interesting. However Irv ADDIS
seems to prefer the kind that looks
like a picket fence, at least that is
the way he designed a ballustrade
for “MAC”.

Teddy HOFMEISTER took one
look at the men in his MODELING
class and decided to give them a
course in culture. The reasons are,
Teddy says, not only to give the
follows some really hot dope on Chins
ese Philosophy, but a little of the
aesthetic side of architecture, to say
nothing of exercising his voice.

The Juniors finally got together
and after a little hemming and haw-
ing, elected Al RAMP massier of the
class, and Ed SCHMALTZ as sou-
massier. They have also automati-
cally become massier and sou—inas-
sior ol’ the A. A. 8., and are plan-
ning some interesting affairs for that
organization, namely smokers and
dances, but no stag parties.

 

That little ray of sunshine Vic
CHIAPPE has gone in for pugil-
ism and has been running around
the department looking for someone
to fight. If he is really that vicious,
we will not tell him that KICHAVEN
and SALETTA, for lack of some-
thing better to do, have been box—
ing and are looking for a new
sparring partner. As this is not an
advertisement, if Vic sees this, he
need not apply.
