MEN IN WHITE ... was the cry issued by the
major-domo of the rally committee last week,
filled with those thusly attired. The rally group
then found it necessary to fill the section with
women who had previously been barred from
the main portion of the rooting section. Such is
fate . . . Rooting section short shots t Bronze
Knuckles to those numerous boneheads in the
section who couldn't master the simple "art"
of participating in card stunts . . . Numerous

Those who go thus half-limping in Pharisaical

the classes, nearly all the social and non-social
organizations, and from a segment of the faculty
itself This publication agrees with the basic tenet
of these folic—that the collective college car is
too much turned to the still .small voice" of the
downtown cash register Croesus—but. it cannot
condone the diametrically opposite actions of
some of these people, who, whenever they find
themselves in a jam. trundle down to Fulton and
beg fot everything from free corsages and theatre
passes to merchandise orders and two-pants suits
—to help put over a super-whatevcr-it-is.
It is unfortunate, in the first place, that although this college has grown to a size where it
might logically be expected to be somewhat independent in action, it nevertheless continues to
predicate its every move on "What will the business men think? Can't wc keep this contract in
town? Mr. So-and-So was awfujly nice on that
project last year." The stock argument is that the
college is patasitically living off the community,
and that, although it is permissible to bite the host
rather deep once in a while, it nevertheless is common sense to "play ball" and "remember the local

sometimes wonder if it wouldn't be better in the
last analysis to refuse all of the juicy scholarships,
all of the lush donations to funds, and all of the
general good-will cash which inexorably ties us
to the interests of the donors, and do what wc
wanted when we wanted for awhile.
Only the naive can hold for long the position
that all such "aid" is entirely altruistic, and motivated by a desire for a "greater Fresno State"
as such. Most business men, if you get them down
to brass tacks, will acjmit earmarking a certain
amount of their budget each year for "the col-
lege"—be it in the form of scholarships, dinners,
awards, advertising, or what not—and when they
say "giving to the college"they really mean INVESTING. They want a greater Fresno State for
this understandable and legitimate reason: More
students means an increase in the million and a
half dollars brought into this city every ycarby '

promoting a better athletic squad, a more renowned faculty, or a more desirable extra-curricular program, well then, were willing to give

either the Dutch or the Allies generally. The phrase "capable of

BUSINESS-LIKE APPEARANCE
As the entire Continent chafed under war rations, "army life,"
and galling inactivity, Paris reported the first business-like appearance of German bombers since the beginning of the war. The
invaders were driven off by ailti-aircraft fire.
POOLING RESOURCES
Best recent example of stopping-moaning-about-the-recession
and doing something about it, is the gala opening of the largest
cooperative hosiery' mills in the world in Philadelphia. Five hundred
and fifty workers got tired of their two-month layoff, and by pooling their meagre resources by hook or crook opened the mill under

Bulldogs Make Ready to Invade

Individual blocking but no mass scrimmage has been ordered by
Coach Jimmy Bradshaw for the varsity this week following a 27

Bradshaw was quite generally pleased with the type of game displayed by the Bulldogs against the Pilots to judge by his statement: "They did well, although than

all during the present football season have been
taking a beating at the hands of students who
have complained of the privileged few who were
receiving gravy in the form of Association jobs
at the football games. Officials announced last
week that scores of jobs paying as high as a
dollar an hour were open, and then had to import high school students and outsiders to fill
the posts. Although peeved at the lack of consistency on the students' part, the plea for students to come dip into the well known gravy
plan is again open, and unless a radical change
takes place, will remain so until the end of the
football season.

Most of the unsolved national problems of
Eastern Europe are of a complicated natu*. and
it is doubtful whether all of them can ever be
solved on the basis adopted by the Peace Conference of 1919. which was that of taking the
main nationalities and carving up Eatlern Europe into sovereign stales, one stale to each
nationality . . . The Treaty never recognized
any intermediate stage between full- sovereignty
and no sovereignty.—C. A. Macartney in The

Many a smoker has switched to Camels because his value-sense
applauded the thrift of getting more puffs per pack, Bui...
that's only one small part of the story of slow burning. You get a
lot more than savings! Youget iwira mildness! Common sense tells
you that a fast. h\r>, hot-burning cigarette will not smoke comfort- t~
ably or yield a delicate taste and fragrance. And that slo-a^burning \
tobaccos naturally would be mild and mellow. You get extra coolness. You needn't be a scientist to know that the slower tobacco
bums, the cooler the smoking. You get extra-fine flavor. Excess heat
ruthlessly destroys the subtle elements of flavor and aroma. Slow-
burning Camels tell their own taste-talc! So... for thrift and for
a smoking thrill.. .light up a slow-burning Camel!
