Others believe that training is unnecessary; there will be another war. to be sure, and we shall all fight and ought to light but we can get ready after war is declared. They mistake military resources for military preparedness. Others believe that there is nothing intel lectual in the training given the boys and that therefore it Ims no place in a univer sity. Fortlie same reason they would abolish compulsory physical education. Opposition on 1hc part of the students, many of them, can be traced to the fact that drill bores them. They are opposed to any physical or mental exertion as a requirement, whether it he military training, physical education or hnglish comp: 'on. As opposed to tin's’ groups there are those who thoroughly cm oy military training, would like to win com missions hut would like to do away with tin* compulsory feature because with the sluggards out the unit would he a much more efficient fighting machine. I believe that we shall have another war I do not believe that closing our eyes to the possibility or denying it will save us. I do not believe that military training will either hasten or delay the coming of war. I do not believe that military training makes men want war. I believe that until the economic, causes ot war are removed and uiilil human ntaure is changed so that the hatreds, vind ictiveness. greed, stupidity, and supers!itu tion. passions which I see on all sides of me, as well as love of glory, until these passions are dominated by reasonableness we shall have war. Hanson I oak a Holiday 1 ’ (■: • 11;;} j s I should lliiuk differently if f had 11(>1 lived through the late world war. Before we deelared war mleailist Oermany there was the same peace agitation that we have i low. The same orira ni/.at ions were work ing against military training', which then existed in the land grant colleges, and for the same reasons as now. But war was no sooner deelared than these same organiza 1 ioiis heeame madly militaristic and perse cuted with cruelty those of their own mem bers who still were of their former opinion and had the courage of their convictions. They hounded them, ostracized them, tarred and feathered them, and threatened them with even direr cruelties. Professors of his tory forgot all they had learned through years of research about evaluating evidence and poured out on their classes compellled to attend- British propaganda and the as sertions of screaming newspaper headlines as holy truth, b’eason took a holiday. I do not believe that I hi' days of war are over. And il we are to have war every dictate of humanity demands that we enter such a war prepared. If people would only read the military history of the I'nited States- which they will not they would learn that from the time of the llevolution until the time of I lie Rebellion not a decade passed without a major or minor war. that we entered every war unprepared relying on raw troops (with the possible exception of the Mexican War) and that in every in staller war was prolonged, treasure need lessly expended, and men slaughtered as a result of our unprepareduess. Trained Man an Army I'ldrained men are a mob. Trained men are an army. An army of a thousand men will put to flight a mob of five thousand and has done so innumerable times iu his tory, I nited States history included. 'The de feats of lmng Island. Camden, (Queenstown, Bladensburg, and Bull Hun are a few ex amples of the loss incurred by sending un trained men to the front. The brilliant suc cesses of the Mexican War were achieved by a small army of veterans. The military policy of the I'nited States in the past has been dominated by 1he Anglo Saxon prejudice that "standing armies are a dangerous menace to liberty." And because we feared this menace we have sacrificed thousands of young men on the battle field. Military training in our colleges was estab lished during the Civil War and further developed after the World War in the hope that the costly mistakes of the past might be (Inis averted. Il was thought that such train ing as the KOTC affords would remove the menace of a large standing army while af fording the protection of a eiti/.enrx siifl'i eieutly trained to avoid the inevitable sac rifice and defeat of raw troops. Whether this hope is well founded is a rpiestiou. But some knowledge of arms and military science is better than ignorance. In the end the men whould have to be trained, flic more rapidly and the greater the number that can be trained the greater the safeguard for the men themselves against hasty engagements, needless casualties, and prolonged wars.

Castles and Crowds in Spaing __. _By Howard Kessler ----— , No Sunshine Without Reign Gus related to me what he termed “an old wheeze" about Spain. “It happened when all the. na tions were making representations to the gods for the things they wanted most. As Spain's turn came her delegate submitted re quests for sunshine, beautiful wo men, fruits, and so forth, all of which were judiciously granted j her. On his way down to earth the I Spaniard suddenly bethought him self that he had neglected to ask for good government, so he hur ried back to Jupiter’s residence and pounded on the door. When he fi nally roused the chief god. he de li v e r e d tire request. Jupiter yawned, rubbed the sleep from his eyes and said, “No, no. I've given you plenty as it is. You’ll have to | do without the good government." So there it is. Whether by the decree of the gods or the misman agement of the people, Spain has blundered along without one first class era of beneficent rule, with the possible exception of the years 1759-88. when Charles III had things pretty well in hand. Most of the authorities today place the blame with the clericals, the army and the character of the people. A Spaniard, a (Utlhnlir Every Spaniard, if he has any religion at all, is a Catholic, and usually a. devout one. This being the case it might be difficult to account for incidents like the pil laging of 50 churches in Malaga alone (a city of 50.0001 during the eventful May of 1931. It might be difficult, that is, if you didn't know that such demonstrations were di rected not against religion in gen eral or Catholicism in particular, but against the priestly oligarchy who stand for- just about every thing the Spaniard hates. Since St. James himself led the way for Christianity in Spain, the church has played a predominant part in Spanish life. At first the c-ler cals dir ectly governed by intim idation and the Inquisition, which was only abolished a hundred years ago. Then they took up a position behind the throne, still pulling all the strings. They became politi cally supreme and when their power was threatened here they went into economies with the re A ny thing Goes By Dick Watkins - MICA I* — Willamette Park seems to be doing things up brown, bringing in various and sundry out side entertainment lately . . .

In addition, the Church controlled by means of its agricul tural credit banks, the production i and population of this mainly ag-' ricultural country. They paid no taxes, were free from inspection and regulation, gained (a small i item) a revenue of 8750,000 a year ■ by the sale of ‘'hulas" or papal in dulgences at a few pesetas apiece, | were given huge subsidies $8,000, 000 a year from the government, I donations, titles from wealthy Spaniards, besides the fees for birth, marriage and burial serv ices. Always, historians unani mously agree, they have stood athwart the path of progress in j Spain. But this is not intended to be a lristory and you can read these 1 things I write in any good recent i books on Spain. Sir George Young, who has written the best of these. ‘The New Spain”, has this to say: Church Is Persistent ‘‘Even a greater misfortune for Spain than the persecution of Pro testants and professors has been the persistence of the Cb urch in sacrificing to its own material in terests that moral influence by which it, and it alone, might have unified Spain and ensured peace- j ful progress. For the Crown never acquired and the Cortes (parlia ment) has not yet acquired such! an authority as could fuse the in- j tense individualism of Spaniards | end weld their ingrained sectional | sentiment into a stable and stead- | ily working state system. Had the 1 Church or any of the Religious Or ders associated itself with the ceivable that it might have sup plied the authority and association without which a corporative com munity and a planned economy cannot be constructed. It might, ir: other words, have taken the place of communism or fascism as the indispensable doctrine and dis cipline of such a new social order. This achievement was, in fact, ac complished by the Jesuits in or ganizing new states in South America; and the economic enter prises of this order in Spain itself show that the creation and con trol of a planned national economy would have been well within their capacities. But such a function ! was not foreseen a century ago when the Church aligned itself def- i initely with reaction. It has since j been foregone forever by a century ol cruelty and corruption. The Church, by concentrating its moral responsibilities has raised against itself a revolt that combines the ethical protest of the Protestant reformation with the economic pro gram of the proletarian revolu tion.” Slate Board (Continued from Pane Unc) ng' would not necessarily desig nate the sequence in which the irojects would be started, but were m indication of the relative weight, •vith which the proposals might be | considered by the planning com-; mission.

They Couldn’t Find the Cemetery The ancient Odd Fellows’ Ceme tery, that used to lie miles out of town, to reach which the slow- j moving funeral procession would j consume half-a-day in toiling' through dust or mud, whose en trance was once marked by three great symbolic Links until some one shot them down from across j the valley because they reminded him of Teddy Roosevelt's teeth or glasses,—the old graveyard, now so far within the very center of city limits and almost surround- I eu by the expanding University,— what is to become of it? The problem has been propound ed many times, the fraternal Order itself confesses inability to con tinue its upkeep, the City Council has fruitlessly considered its re moval and disinterment of the dead, but the cemetery remains. The students have never been asked an opinion. No need to do so. They know. The cemetery will re main, and the University would , greatly miss it. How different the attitude of the present day student from the jittery terrors that befell Mark Twain's heroes in their visit to the graveyard by night! I myself re call how the South Alder road to the Spencer Butte district at one time ran directly underneath the Masonic Cemetery Hill and how the moonlight was reflected from those white tombstones. I would shut my eyes and hold my breath I until Boxer and Fillyr had drawn us past in the hack. Haunted ? I should-say-so. Maybe it is yet. Again I draw upon the Eutax ian Column in The Guard, edited by Anna Patterson-Potter, 'S5. for a most inexplicable anecdote. “A few days ago, some half-dozen Laureans . . . were out enjoying a stroll near the University. In the ! course of their walk, they saw strolling near the graveyard, a like number of young Eutaxians enjoy'- I iJiS/SISISMSiSJSISISISEJSISISJSISEfEISfSjSffilE ing a walk also.’’ Now I ask you, wasn't that just too utterly utter? But where, the while, was Jake Auger or Johnnie Gimlet or Moth ei Spiller? To read between the lines, there was now a telegraphic signal be tween those Laureans and Eutax ians, that each group required the protection of the other. And they started, the “Laureans down the walk to meet their sisters, the Eu taxians up through the Univer sity lot to meet their brothers, and the result was that each party found itself in the place formerly occupied .by the other.” Oh! piffle! can you imagine it? Missing the cemetery by that nar row a. margin! Next in the series: THE OLD BRICK CHURCH.
