Want To Learn About Socialism?
Socialism. Is it good or bad? From time to time
on the campus this question arises in student con
versations and class discussions. It seems many
student are curious about socialism, its theory and
its practice.
As political science students and interested peo
ple, we have carried on research about the matter
of socialism, and have decided that it is a morally
right and humanly practical doctrine. So far we
have failed to find any basis for the common mis
conception that socialism is in any way subversive,
undemocratic, or too idealistic.
We wonder if we are alone in holding these be
liefs. Are there other people on the campus who
in general share them with us? There must be
some value in socialism, for it to have won the
support of as many people in a democratic country
as it has.
We should like to listen to the opinions that
other students, townspeople, and faculty members
A LETTER TO THE EDITOR
hold regarding socialism. Therefore from an. edu
cational point of view it would seem desirable to
hold a discussion on the subject. In this way we will
all better understand the basic tenets of socialism
and have an opportunity to hear the opinions, pro
and con, regarding it.
For these reasons we are sticking our necks
out by sponsoring such a discussion to be held in
Westminster house at 7:30 p.m., April 14 (Wed
nesday) .
The Emerald in a recent editorial criticized the
seeming lack of student interest in political af
fairs. We hope that this lack of interest is more
apparent than real, and that those with a real in
terest will attend this discussion. To think clearly
on any question, it is first necessary to understand
both sides of that question.

campus etiquette chairman de
cided it would be a “sports affair,

dresses and men, suits.”

chairman of that dance.

“Black Magic"
“Black Magic” was the 1943
theme with Marty Pond as chair
man. Novelty of the dance follow
ing “Black Magic” was selection
by each house of three favorite
tunes of the students. In 1945,
students danced in a “Holiday Inn”
atmosphere accentuated by mur

Problems cropped up two years

the basis that murals portraying
