Forsberg Vol. XVll MARCH 3, 1936 No. 3 The New Armour Last spring, hopes and dreams of Faculty, Students, and Alumni, seemed close to the real thing when the first plans concerning the trans- ference of Armour Institute to buildings near McKinlock Campus were made known. With the coming of a new spring, interests do not rest entirely with St. Patrick’s Day and Junior Week. When we look back on the bits of material that have been gathered over a long period of time, we may realize that a new Armour is pro— gressing. Each bit of important data is one more step toward our goal. President Hotchkiss is working on the problem and although nothing has been heard, the board of trustees is trying in every possible way to push through the plan. One of the former ideas was to obtain a large government loan to finance the expansion. With the elections coming on and the natural reluc- tance of the various governmental agencies to commit themselves, this method seems to grow more remote. Upon the many middle west indus- trial concerns who benefit by having well trained engineers seems to fall the job or duty of financ- ing a new campus. With the very noticeable upturn in business and the outspoken need for engineers this problem should almost solve itself. Wi’l‘ll omen EDITORS l America Participates (University Daily Kansan) Active agitation against American entrance into the Olympic games in Berlin seems to have died down, proving that the movement was not widespread or fostered by a majority of Ameri— can citizens. While the group back of the cam» paign against American participation undoubted ly had some justification, the wisest and best way seems to he to enter the games, making plain the fact that American entrance does not neces- sarily mean that we condone the Nazi political system. Although there was some discrimination against Jewish athletes while the German teams were being chosen, there are also several in— stances, showing that Jewish athletes were not excluded entirely. One member of the German hockey team was a Jew, and recently Miss Helen Mayer. former Jewish fencer in the 1932 Olym- pics, was called from her home in California to fence on the German team. These are only two cases but they show that the German discrimina- tion does not amount to total exclusion. The Olympics are international contests, car— ried on to promote international friendship and give athletes of all countries a chance to compete with others outside of their own particular coun- try, Not to participate because of political dif~ ferenccs would be to mix sportsmanship with politics and it is generally recognized that politics are not governed by any altruistic influences such as sportsmanship. It is to be understood that no one is trying to smooth over Nazi political methods. There are many incidents of Nazi persecution which are re- volting to the American principle of fair play and democracy. But it is rather narrowminded and shortsighted to incur the ill will of foreign countries by refusing to allow American athletes to participate. The A.A.U. has acted wisely in allowing American entrance.
