The annual Junior Week festivities here at lllinois Tech.
during its forty year history, has become the greatest and most

class of 1907 started the tradition to accompany the distribution

trouble with the printer’s schedule).

on the gruelling technical calcula-
tions thruct upon them 'by profiles»

tial form, the cone of the Student vs.

and on the testimony of Anne. Thu-

dict of guilty was rendered and
Math was sentenced} to die. Hang~

Since coming to lllinois Tech, Wit
has posted a mark seldom equaled

a junior he was also social chair—

Just what is all this talk about communism, leftisto, r
“miognidcd lihet‘alc,” and fellow travelers? The reacticncr
press ecreems daily warnings to the American oeoole to is,
up arms in defiance of their country against the tentacles

communism. Certain observers qui-
etly sum up the situation with a
more: “Nothing: to worry about»-
llearct, McCormick, Stellc, Winchell,
nod J. Edgar Hoover are all making;
mountains out of molehills.

What are the objectives of the
communists in America and how do
they set out to accomplish their
ends? To answer this question a“
critical survey was made of several
“liberal" publications. The analysis
of the editorial policy seemed to
yield two viewpoints: (l) The mere,
superficial, “means-to-tm—end” type
‘of editorial in which the publishers
have endeavored to very simply set
forth policies which would appeal to
many Americans as truly worthy
causes. (2) The very subtle policy
of creating disscnsions and weaken-
ing structureo and institutions from
within. For the most part this fea—
ture is presented to the public
through the meanc of (1).

Superficially the editorial policy

tioning-

 

of the red press embraced
taxes, higher wages, guarantor
nun} wage to come out of tho 391'
of corporations, and higher t
for the rich. ’

A more critical appraisal of it
communist’s attitude on these
nomic questions reveals their
structive intentions to break do
the economic structure of the coir
try. This is: accomplished by can

disputes which in many instan‘
served merely to drain and con

cote industry’s reserve capital.
Further well-meaning
which some sheets have strcc
are: wiping out the remains of f
cism in Europe; permitting filling;
settel its own affairs Without tli
use of our troops on the side of 3E 11
