news must spread fast down in south carolina for soon the neigh boring towns began to print edi torials about a new radical repub lican group at clemson which was raising all sorts of things the liberty leaguers began to send in resignations but still the pa pers were aroused to stamp out the revolt in the ranks the school pa per joined the attack and the cadet colonel sent an apology to senator byrnes climax clemson minds confused to quote the clemson paper taking advantage of the cadets at a time when people's minds are more or less confused on political matters officials of the american liberty league carefully carried out their well-laid plans — shame on you mr williamson — and slow ly gained a foothold at clemson a veritable cradle of democracy liberty league officials have sug gested that further attempts at ex pansion stear clear of clemson and the country of john c calhoun since the return of watch charms and resignations burdened the staff by frank n kemmer lehigh liberty leaguers are as numerous as new leaves on the trees but it isn't often that a mem ber can boast that his activities with the organization have led to pol itical furor accusations and apolo gies in another school but robert a williamson bus 38 tells the results of his casual sending of a membership card to a friend at clemson college clemson s c down south where everyone is a nigger or a democrat to quote the friend the membership card arrived was sent in and many others re turned in chain-letter fashion to get recruits to the liberty league ranks soon 150 cadets had signed their souls away for the organization they didn't read the papers they signed — but it was a damned good thing to have a watch charm and they were minors anyway man reads pamphlet soon the well-known literature spread and accidentally a fellow down at clemson read one of the pamphlets perhaps thinking it was an occasional assignment and egad — what's this — it panned the research men

working the government should have as small a refereeing power as possible said dr ward l bishop associate profesor of economics at a recent dinner of the northamp ton county banker's association in the hotel bethlehem bishop went on to discuss the economic fallacy of the 30-hour week he also declared that the il logical idea of growing wealthier by working less rests on three faulty assumptions and that the redemy for reduced demand of la bor and unemployment is to divide the work so that all may share he said first if the economist knows anything at all he knows that there is no such thing

approval of arcadia's action in le galizing election combines karl jacobi bus 37 president of arcadia in commenting on the action said combines should exist as nothing else is practical thomas k garihan former pres ident of arcadia stated arcadia faced two alternatives enforcement of abolition i personally feel that if there is a rule it should be en forced there is no such rule as the one arcadia has miserably fail ed to enforce because of no means of enforcement i believe that pos sibly there will be better govern ment for there will be an interest in the government and it will be an honor to receive the presidency of a class eichner's comment was the le galizing of combines will bring to lehigh politics the power and ma turity that is necessary to successful government i am in favor of all electioneering at and away from the polls bernard weiss c e 36 pres ident of tau beta pi said i do not think that the idea of combines is a bad one they have existed as long as can be remembered and as long as they have existed actually they might as well be legalized now the candidates will know what they have to fight against dean mcconn refused to com ment on the ruling originally i was against legal izing combines but if it works for a better system of government i think it's all right but it has to be proven to me if it results in split ups among the student body it's no good said vincent j pazzetti 111 president of the class of 37 when asked by the brown and white what he thought of arcadia's move to legalize combines harry milbank president of the class of 38 stated i feel that com bines really existed in the last elec tion so i see nothing wrong in le galizing them the president of the class of 39 frank rabold answered it seems to me that if you do that sort of thing you're bound to get the strongest in office because if all the living groups band together they will refuse to support a man who's inferior i believe that it's bound to give the dormitory men a chance o.d.k chooses 10 is named president nearly all tickets sold to 29th annual concert the twenty-ninth bach festival held in bethlehem marks the anni varsary of the birthday of

the brown and white was given the first honor rating in the re cent critical survey conducted by the associated collegiate press for college newspapers although this gives the brown and white a rat ing of excellent it is one place lower than last year's judgment i attribute his drop in rating said kenneth k kost associate journalism and junior adviser to the weakness of the executive com mittee and staff during the first semester when the issues submit ted for this contest were published however the increase of entries over last year has tended to raise the standards set by the papers themselves this lowered the grade of many excellent college papers among which was the brown and white according to fred l kil dow director the lowest score gained by the lehigh paper denoted a lack of news ingenuity and originality of course interviews were few and feature writing was low in quality these and a general drop in all around ability gave the brown and white a score of 745 as compared with 800 received last year in spite of a bad start the paper has shown noticeable improvement during this past semester while the paper failed to secure one third place in the fall
