All Judges Concur
Every Citizen Must Defend
His Government Is
Judgment
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3—(AP)
—The rule that every citizen must
defend his government “against all
enemies” was laid down today by
the Supreme Court in deciding that
land grant colleges may compel
their students to take military
training.
The action of the high tribunal
was unanimous in settling the old
and troublesome controversy of
military training in the land grant
colleges. These schools are so
called because the government
gave them land formerly belong
ing to the public.
U. of C. Sustained
The decision sustained the ac
tion of the University of California
in suspending last year Albert W.
Hamilton and W. Alonzo Reynolds,
Jr., who claimed exemption from
drill on religious and conscientious
grounds.
"Government, federal and state,”
said the opinion delivered by Just
ice Butler, “each in its own sphere
awes a duty to the people within
its jurisdiction to preserve itself in
adequate strength to maintain
peace and order and to assure the
just enforcement of law, and every
citizen owes the reciprocal duty,
recording to his capacity, to sup
port and defend the government
against all enemies.
Courses not Compelled
The court made it plain also that
:he land grant colleges are not
compelled by federal law to offer
compulsory military training
courses.
Although no major dissent was
expressed, Justice Cardozo deliv

Students9 Faculty Will Lose
Dignity at Christmas Revels
CANT A CLAUS KARAFOTIAS;
^ king of the elves, Barney
Clark; master of ceremonies, Dr.
Philip Parsons, carols, tumblers,
memmers, kegs of cider—dancing
to a snappy jazz orchestra—need
more be said to induce students
and townspeople to attend, and
more than that, to take part in
the annual “Christmas Revels” ?
The party, the last social event
before fall term exams, will take
place December 15, on Saturday
at 8 o’clock in Gerlinger hall
which will be transformed into a
fit place for the celebration of the
holidays, with decorated trees,
bright lights, mistletoe, and all
else that goes to make a merry
Christmas celebration.
One of the highlights of the eve
ning will be the presentation of
“fitting and proper” gifts, other
wise known as “lemons” to var
ious people on the campus—both
students and professors. The
name; of the fortunate ones will
be a secret and a surprise to the
recipients until the evening of the
party—but then, perhaps the gifts
will be a surprise too! Especially
since Barney Clark, the Innocent
Bystander is making the gift se
lections.
Since Christmas is a time of sur
prises, the rest of the program is
being kept a surprise, but without
letting the cat out of the bag, pro
fessorial dignity is to be discard
ed for the evening, and several
popular professors will put pro
fessional dance troupers to shame.
The party is to be a no-date af
fair, campus clothes in order, and
price of admission — 15 cents.
Townspeople are invited, and there
will be a gallery for those who
v/ish to watch the revelers make
merry.
Anyone who wishes to partici
pate in the program of planned
entertainment is urged to get in
touch with Henriette Horak, gen
| eral chairman of the event.
Dunn Finds Error
In Ripley Column,
'Believe It or Not
“ ‘Believe It or Not—by Ripley,
a daily feature appearing in papers
of the country, unjustly pictured
King Pyrrhus, one of the greatest
kings of ancient times, on Novem
ber 14,” said Frederic S. Dunn,
professor of Latin in the Univer
sity, yesterday.
Ripley portrayed King Pyrrhus
with a contorted, disfigured face,
while the bust of King Pyrrhus in
the Museo-Nazionale in Naples,
shows him a man with no facial
disfigurement, but with marked
character in his face.
King Pyrrhus had not a regular
set of teeth, but in place of them
one continuous bone.
In an explanation, Ripley says
that Plutarch describes King Pyr
rhus as rather terrible of face, as
he had not a regular set of upper
teeth but in place of them one con
tinuous bone with small lines on
it resembling the division in a
normal row of teeth..
Plutarch also described Pyrrhus
as the “Fire eating conqueror of
the Romans,” but history confirms
the fact that at no one time was
he completely victorious over the
Romans, although he had several
times defeated hem.

* A Word a Day
The Easy Way\
Suggests Smith
Have you always wanted to in
crease your vocabulary? Do you
want to be sure of precise mean
ings and correct pronunciations—
to be able to use confidently words
you have skimmed over in your
reading but cannot honestly say
you really know? One of Prof. S.
Stephenson Smith's answers to
these questions is the "Word-a
Day" pamphlet, which his classes
will use next term.
The “Word-a-Day,” published by
the John C. Winston company, is
designed to make fun out of add
ing a new word every day to one’s
vocabulary. One word-ticket con
taining a difficult but common
word is to be torn out of the pam
phlet every day and slipped into
the reader’s pocket. The book in
structs him to use the word in his
1 conversation and at the end of the
day place the ticket into the wal
let on the last page.
The pamphlet also contains '
quizzes on spelling; geographic, !
historical, and scientific identifica
tion; hyphenization; pronunciation; |
correct use; and synonyms. Mr.
Smith has a supply of the book3,
which are free of charge.

sor of English, will read a group

to the sentimental.

Higgins, sophomore in English, is
