ASB UNION EXPANSION APPROVED

A proposed $55,000 addition to the Student Union, to be financed by the College Corporation, was

approved yesterday evening at Student Council meeting. The corporation, which is composed mainly of faculty niembers, pro-poses to expand the Union by ex-tending the west side to provide

space for an enlarged Spartan Shop. The space now shared by the fountain and book store will

then be occupied by the fountain alone, with the new section de-voted to books and other supplies.

Revision of the student body constitution and by-laws is now completed, Milo Badger, president, announced. The revision was per-formed by a committee headed by Dave Webster of the Student Court. Copies of these by-laws are available for inspection in 1 he ASH office. �

All organizations holding off-campus activities were advised by the Council to provide themselves

with protection against outside in-trusion by the hiring of police or other law enforcement personnel.

Rules governing eligibility of patrons and patronesses have been relaxed to the extent that one

parent may qualify to serve where

four or more chaperones are re-

quired, it was revealed by Jan Hagerty, Council committee mem-

ber.

SIGN-UP OPEN FOR AWA SONG-FEST

Sign-up, is still open to groups of eight or more students for "Aut-umn Nocturne," which will be held November 30 from 7 to 9 p. m. in

the Little Theater. Applications

and the director. AWA is sponsoring the song fest,

which is open to all men and women. The groups may be mixed,

or all men or women. Songs are not to be original but the arrange-

ments may be original.

Cast Of Christmas Drama Progressing Despite Illnesses

Even with intermittent visits to the Health cottage, the cast of the coming Christmas play, "Out-ward Bound," is functioning still

and working out characterizations easily, according to Director James Butler.

Straying from the humdrum track, the plot of "Outward Bound" will satisfy audiences who yearn for a tale of real. human eniot ion and stirring adventure.

GOOD HUMOR Containing wholesome humor, it

is a very different drama dealing with the after-world. It involves nine men and women aboard a ship that is carrying them to the next world, although they do not realize they are dead.

The play will be presented as the 7th annual "Christmas gift to the community" and will be ad-mission free. December 6 and 7 are the dates of production.

HERE’S CAST Barring a number of colds and

other minor difficulties, the cast remains intact and is as follows: Al Johnson as Mr. Pryor; Barbara Vaccaro, Mrs. Cliveden Banks; Conrad Smith as Scrubby; Anne Hofting and Brent Morris as Ann and Henry; Jim Schaar, the Rev. William Duke; Shirley Wilber, Mrs. Midget; Jim Forster, Mr. Lingley, and Ed Cerney, the Heavenly Inquisitor.

Complete lists of the technical crews for the production have n yet been drawn op, so anyone in terested in scenery construction or design may sign up any time in room 159 with Miss Helen Minetta,

TECHNICAL CREW No experience is necessary. All

that. is required is a pair of jeans and the ability literally to "hit the nail on the head."

More workers are definitely needed, so sign up as soon as possible; the construction work has begun. The committees are as follows: props, construction, house manager, ushers, publicity. All work under the direction of Wendell Johnson, assisted by Al Johnson.

Student-Faculty Discuss On Conscription Today

SPAC SPONSORS FIRST FORUM�QF QpikkIER ON VITAL TOPIC: OPEN TO ALL�ROOM. 124

SPAC, the Student Public Affairs committee of the SCA on campus, will sponsor today the first student -faculty forum of the quarter on the question: "Shall we have military conscription?" The panel discussion will be held at I I a.m. in room 124, upstairs above the business office. Bob Huck, SPAC chairman, has extended an invitation to all students, and veterans particularly, to attend.

Speakers will Be Dean of Men Paul Pitman ,and George Stone, faculty members, and Jean Gren-baux and Dave Webster of the student body. Robert James, SCA executive secretary, will twt its moderator. Stone and Grenbaux, both veterans of the second World War, will support the issue, while Dean Pitman and Webster will take the negative view.

Stone, asked for a resume of his convictions, referred to World War I, during which he saw serv-ice in -France as a photography officer. He recalled the pitiful lack of training given to men being sent overseas then, and com-pared it to the training given the combat men of this -second World War.

WAR TRAINING FAILURE

"There was," he stated, "a mud-dle of concentrated training, but I believe super-intensive training has been in large measure a fail-ure." He suggests that we take up training now that there is no emergency, and make a serious study of how best to proceed in case of another emergency. "We should work for peace with all the energy possible. But we must continue our training, and so con-tinue our position of leadership."

CCF TO HONOR JUNIOR PEP -PARTY SPARTAN SQUAD SET TONIGHT 8-11 NEXT TUESDAY IN WOMEN’S GYM II )))) r11111, t he IlleIllhers of the Spartan football squad, the first annual "Football Banquet" will be held Tuesday evening at 7:30 in the Scottish Rite Temple.

Gold Star Memorial Will Be Fir Tree

Mu Delta Pi, campus veterans’

service fraternity, announced

plans yesterday for a memorial

tree, soon to be planted here in

honor of the college’s Gold Star

veterans.

The tree is to be a Santa Lucia

fir, and will be planted near the

main entrance tia the Home Eco-

nomics building. This site was

chosen because of its prominence, and because there the tree will not be disturbed when the college expansion program goes into ef-fect.

Details of the memorial project were worked ’out by Jack Daniels and Earl Motta before they re-signed their executive officee in

the fraternity last month. Formal planting and dedication

of the tree will take place as soon as it arrives from the nur-sery, according to. Jim Howie,

president of Mu Delta Pi.

Students Think Honor System Would Outlaw Cheating Judging fr the answers given

around the campus to the question,

"Do you think there is too much

cheating going on at San Jose State, or do you think the honor

system is in effect?", a majority

of the students think that there

should be an honor system, while

two out of three of the professors

asked, think the honor system

doesn’t work. Dr. Earl C. Campbell, professor

of political science, declared, "I

do not approve of the honor sys-

tem. Where I’ve seen it in effect,

there has not been enough honor

apparent. I prefer not to allow

those who may cheat the oppor-

tunity to do so." Taking the opposite viewpoint

was Dr. Robert Rhodes, professor

of natural science, who maintain-1 ed, "I think the honor systemj works better than any other. How-ever, it requires two things: care-ful indoctrination and real sin-cerity on the part of the instructor. Competition between the teacher and the student is wrong."

Siding in with Dr. Campbell was Dean of Men Paul Pitman, who said, "There is too much cheating going on, but any is too much, I used to think the honor system was good, but where grading is! done on class average it puts too much of a strain on the honest student. I tell my students: ’I

trust you, but I’ll watch you like, a hawk’,"

Students on the campus took

the following viewpoints on the

cheating kuestion: Audrey Fisher, senior Occupa-

tional Therapy major: "There is a lot of cheating going on, but I thing the students set. up their own individual honor system. We should have a college honor sys-tem like Stanford."

Floyd Hunter, freshman Indust-rial Arts major: "There is not too much cheating in my opinion, but the present system urges the stu-dent to cheat."

Liz Peterson, sophomore Gen-eral-Elementary major: "The tea-Chers stay right in the room, mak-ing the student feel he is, not trusted. A complete honor system would be more effective."

Danny Week, sophomore History major: "There is not too much

�

cheating going on, but people shouldn’t be so conceited as to con-sider theinselves superior to every-one else, just because they don’t cheat."

Hazel Rudholm, senior Occupa-tional Therapy major: "The pres-ent system is no good. The ones who cheat will always cheat. I think the honor system will really work."

"Pink" Tanner, sophomore pre-Med: "State ought to have an honor system; there is too much cheating. The honor system has worked in other institutions; and the students run it themselves."

Anna Marie Joyce, freshlEan Art major: "I don’t believe the major-ity are cheating. just a few who do last minute cheating."

Hal Truskett, sophomore Aero-nautics major: ’If we were on the

honor system, there would be less cheating, and eventually we could

do away with it all together." Pat Wallace, senior Social Sci-

ence major: "I haven’t seen any

In my classes." Phil Robertson, sophomore

Journalism major: "I think there is too much cheating going on down here, but an honor system would correct it. A person who is of college age should be old enough to be trusted."

Florence Gorham, senior Psy-

chology major: "I’ve never seen

any cheating. There is an honor

system already in practice in some of my classes."

. . . EDITORIAL . . . World Peace?

The peace treaty with Germany has been signed. The peace treaty with Japan has been signed. The war is over. The world is at Feace. Our men are coming home from the battle front. Now all we have to do is sit back and take life easy

The British and Dutch are at peace with The rest of the world as they fight the Javanese. The Chinese are back to normal, as they fight a revolution. The world sits back and just watches the riots in Palestine. The United States has little concern with the rest of the world, for "we are at peace with them."

It makes no difference to us whether England glares at us be-cause we refuse to share the atom bomb secret with the rest of the world. The Jewish riots mean little to us. Our entire nation can go out on a strike; who cares? Peace is wonderful. Thousands of men have lost their lives and have been maimed for life for this beautiful peace.

Is it peace when we bicker at home about whether to merge the Army and Navy, and whether we should have compulsory military training? The British and Dutch fight the Javanese, China has a revo-lution with lend-lease and the aid of Russia, and the Jews are prose-cuted. What have we been fighting for?

What is to done about this world confusion? That is up to us, the youth of the world, of-which we are a large part. The youth of the U. S. is not a "master race;" therefore we can’t tell the rest of the world what to do, but ’we can help something about the mess in which we are involved. We are mere beginners in politics and world affairs, but it is our duty at least to stay abreast of what is going on in our land and in the rest of the world. Discuss what is going on, think about it and then do something about it. It will take the voice of the young, those of more advanced knowledge and age to solve the problem.

It is up to us to voice our opinions and to see that the world is secure for our children and grandchildren. So speak up, young men and women of today, for yours is the voice which sill ring through the corridor of tomorrow. �Ginn

Whose Guilt? The Pearl Harbor probe is underway; a shamefaced nation is try-

ing to fix the blame for its unpreparedness against attack on certain few officers and officials.

Investigating committees and commentators are putting specific charges against specific persons. They say, Short did this, Kimmel did that; Wyman did this, Green did that.

Perhaps these individuals should be blamed and punished for cer-tain incompetencies of which they were guilty. But individuals cannot be blamed for the general unpreparedness at Pearl Harbor. The at-titude of all the people of the United States must be blamed for that.

When Mr. Ordinary Citizen saw war clouds gathering in the Pacific, what did he say? From street corner philosopher to senator the general attitude was, "If those Japs are crazy enough to start a war with us, we can lick ’em in a month."

We must not be too eager to shift the entire blame to those whose guilt is tangible. What was your attiude toward a war with Japan on December 6, 1941? �Gartshore

THRUST AND PARRY Dear Thrust and Parry:

The Spartan Daily, Nov. 14, headlines: "Registrar West Pro-phecies 400 New Winter Stu-dents." What does this mean?

Translated into English from Spartan Daily journalese, it al-leges that Registrar West pro-phesied a prophecy that the cam-pus will have 400 new students next quarter. But what does this mean?

Does it mean 400 more students (enrollees) Man the 2472 regis-tered this quarter? Or does it mean 400 to take the place of enrollees now here, but who will not come back?

The prophesying that concerns each student is: What do the pro-phets prophesy about the pros-pects for your presence here next quarter?

Watch the Spartan Daily for prophecies prophesied by our prophesiers, but remember that the Personnel committee has the last word.

OWEN B. BROYLES.

Dear Thrust and Parry,

Goaded by a recent letter that appeared in this column, I rise to defend the editorial entitled "Language�Medium for Peace."

1 have nothing to say about the book-drive, but the degrading re-marks about both the students

ever, has endowed me with a new respect for those men without rib-bons and citations. Perhaps the undecorated soldier may not be a hero, but any man who has sur-vived basic training is a veteran for my money, ribbons or not. I

and the editorial staff make my

blood boil. Any student of peace can see

the urgent need for an interna-tional language: Have you stu-dents already forgotten the so recent San Francisco Conference? Every speech made during that conference had to be translated from three to four times before business could progress. As the editorial referred to said, "An in-ternational language is the basis for the expression of ideas that belong to the whole world, the grounds for compromise that may halt the letting of blood, the in-sight into the customs, the con-ditions, and the peculiarities that may nip misunderstanding in the bud."

To save a lot of valuable time and protect ourselves from a lot of troubles over some Petty mis-understandings, let’s back the cause of English for an interna-tional language. Let us also try to understand Russia and our in-ternational neighbors instead of constantly warmongering. Is It fair to the coming generations for us to precipitate still another war by making darned fools of our-selves? Think twice before you say or do something that may in-fluence the occurrence of the world’s greatest catastrophe�World War III. ASB 1383.

Dear Thrust and Parry: Thank God for people like ASB

1209 who feels toward Russia the same as I.

’ In this world today no one can be trusted�especially a nation like Russia that has a political

philosophy so different from our own. It is time we "wised up" to this�and yet the editor replied to ASB 1209 that the Spartan Daily tries to be impartial! Im-partial to both Russia and thi� United States?

Must we give our texts to Rus-sia? What are we getting from the Russians? The Russian nation is dedicated to turning the world to communism. Are we dedicated to world conversion or American-ism? No, but we do not want to lose our Americanism, so should we cut our throats?

While I am censuring the Spar-tan Daily and Americans in gen-eral, I’ll bring up a similar sub-ject I want to discuss.

Why must we keep donating clothes, money and various sundry articles to the war needy of Eur-ope and Asia? People condemn me for asking this question be-cause they think of the poor little children who are starving over there-0.-K., so they starve if we don’t help them and we get blamed for it. If we help them they become big and strong, we receive no thanks for it have another big war.

I’m not proposing we stop giv-ing to the "war needy"�I pro-pose we stop and think. If they take care of themselves, they will develop their industries and pros-serity. ASK 35.

UNIVERSAL MILITARY CONSCRIPTION? Today and tomorrow the Spartan Daily will run representative

Junior -Senior arguments pro and con on the universal military conscription question. Readers are asked to peruse these arguments thoroughly and read

and talk about the question more than they ever have before. Next week a ballot will be published by the Daily, and readers will have a chance to vote on the question. It is planned that the results of this voting arc to be sent tu a senatur and a representative.

Con Viewpoint Pro Viewpoint

Genera George Ni a rshall, Armi. (’hid t of Staff, is definitely In favor of universal military training and urges its immediate adoption, writes a Newsweek cor-respondent, and he believes that as long as we will need weapons, we will need trained men to han-dle them.

To Marshall’s mind, universal military training does not imply that in another war we will need a mass army, says- the Newsweek writer, what he regards as es-sential is not mass, but speed.

"TRAINING IS VITAL" Our full-tilt demobilization is

being interpreted as weariness, lack of fim purpose and naivete, according to reports received from abroad, sapping our prestige and influence, this same correspondent says; because General Marshall sees this, he is for the adoption of the training act as an interim measure, as a measure to nail down victory and prevent another conflict.

Major George Fielding Eliot, well-known author and writer, es-pecially on military and interna-tional affairs and national defense, voices his opinion in no uncertain terms. "Compulsory training is vital," he declares.

BILL SHOW:4 UNDERSTANDING

"All the experiences of this war and of the last show that the more complex the machinery of war becomes, the more men it requires to handle, maintain and transport It," he stated.

"The development of new weap-ons changes the type of individual and team training," he explains,

"but it doesn’t alter the fact that

without trained individuals and

trained teams the new weapons will be quite useless."

Major Eliot answers two of the

most popular arguments against

the bill. He denounces the belief

of some people that, by passing

such a training bill we are show-

ing our lack of faith in the United

Nations Organization, as nonsense

and declares, "We are showing

that we understand it as being

exactly what it is: An association

of nations to keep the peace by

force, the only way peace has ever

been kept."

FORCE DEFEATS FORCE

The argument that it will mili-

tarize our youth; instill in them,

as, he says, "one learned educator

put it, the maxim, ’Don’t think,

but obey’," he characterizes also

as nonsense.

"The drill sergeants of today

are highly trained specialists and

technicians," he declares, "and

their job will not be parade

ground roarings, but the very dif-

ferent task 0r giving our youth the

basic and specialized training nec-

esary to do their part if ever the

need should come again."

The late Frank Knox, former

secretary of the Navy, in a speech

in February of last year, declared.

"We shall be free from the danger

of destruction and conquest from

without only if we are sufficiently

strong and sufficiently courageous

to defeat force from without by

the disposition and employment of

greater force of our own.

"I believe," he said, "that one

of the best measures we can take

to insure that Oil r bull idual lib-

erties will be preset.% ed and that

free Americans will remain tree is

"Military training is barbaric, undemocratic, and educationally wholly _unwise." These are the words of John Dewey, distin-guished educator and professor of philosophy at Columbia Univer-sity.

Stephen King-Hall, English pub-lisher and author, in an article reprinted in the November Read-er’s Digest, states baldly: "The atomic bomb has made political and economic nationalism mean-ingless, and so has abolished large-scale national wars and ar-mies. Yet the fact . . . is still not fully realized."

HIGH COMMANDS QUESTION IT

High commands of the Army, Air Forces, and Navy (e. g. Ad-miral Nimitz) question the effec-tiveness of a year’s peacetime training however arduous it may be. According to "Time" maga-zine, "the experience of other na-tions is ambiguous: peacetime conscription gave Russia a good army but was not much help to France. Over the entire issue hangs the bigger question of rela-tive mobilization of the postwar world, and the still bigger ques-tion of how science will change the shape of future battles."

CONGRESS SHOWS NO ENTHUSIASM

Congress has displayed a soggy lack of enthusiasm on universal military training. Dr. Thomas W. MacQuarrie, San Jose college president, says, "I don’t think Congress will pass it. They seem lukewarm to the idea. It will cost too much to keep the million men who would be subject to military training every year, and Congress is trying to cut down on taxes."

Dr. MacQuarrie also considers that the cost coupled with the fact that we can do something else that is an R. 0, T. C. � . is an important factor against the passing of a conscription law, He pointed out that we will have six to nine million men in reserve from this war, and that an effi-cient.R, 0. T. C. should furnish us with an even larger reserve.

"We must remember that no one who is considered an authority on the subject has established a need of conscripting an army," Dr. MacQuarrie stated.

PROFESSORS SAY NO Dr. Frederic Graham, professor

of history, says, "Military train-ing demoralizes youth and takes initiative and enterprise out of them. It takes a year out of their lives at a plastic age, making it harder for them to resume edu-cation.

"Such training would have no security value, because a mass army is antiquated by the atomic bomb, Any military system should be worked out and not rushed through like this one."

Dr. William Poytress, head of the Social Science department, de-clared that compulsory military training would not help to keep the peace. "A large army and navy are obsolete because of atomic bombs, and other inven-tions."

to require that every boy when

he attains the age of 17 or 18 shall be required to spehd at least one year in training on land or sea against the possibility that sometime in his younger manhood his service may be required to

help protect the country."

Senior ’Overnight,’ Mixer

Topics for Meeting "Overnight" for seniors is only

10 days away! All fourth year stu-

dents are invited to attend a meet-

ing today at 12:38 in room 24 to wan for the November 30 event.

Definite announcement is expect-

ed before Thanksgiving vacation

as to the site, whether it be Asilo-mar YWCA camp near Pacific Grove, or Mount Hermon in the Santa Cruz mountains.

In any case, all other plans are going ahead. An original skit is expected, according to Pat Pout-sen, chairman of the entertain-ment committee, and Jewgie Had-dock will sing, Class adviser Dr. Robert Rhodes will present selec-tions and lead singing with his guitar.

Work will be done co-operatively by all those present, while the home economics majors will do the cooking.

The coming junior-senior mixer, set for December 4, will also be taken up at the meeting today, and discussion held of ways and means to overcome the third-year stu-dents’ opposition.

STUDENTS WITH TALENT URGED TO GIVE NAMES TO STUDENT COUNCIL

By ROWLAND MITCHELL One of the outstanding bene-

fits of a college education Is the opportunity offered for individual self-expression through the media of music, creative nn riting, public speaking, and dramatics.

San Jose State presents a par-ticularly fertile field in this re-spect. Many student activities are presented throughout the year, all of which depend entirely on ama-teur talent recruited from the stu-dent body.

TALENT FUND Often certain activities are

necessarily curtailed, however, be-cause student performers cannot be obtained at the time they are needed. This is doubly regrettable, since it not only deprives the stu-dent body of good entertainment, but also deprives those individuals who might have participated their opportunity for personal develop-ment.

To correct this situation the Stu-dent Council recently started a "talent signup." All students who can sing, dance, act, play musical instruments, write scripts or songs, �or present anything in the way of entertainment�were asked to submit their names to the Council

via the organization’s "S" box in

the Spartan Shop.

WHERE’S YOUR NAME?

To date only one name has been

turned in, where here should have been 100.

Spartan Revelries, the annual extravanganza, will soon go into production. Spardi Gras, rallies, orientation classes, dances, the an-nual Kappa Karnival � all these and numerous other campus ac-tivities require a large reservoir of talent from which to draw. Such a reservoir cannot be created with-out cooperation from the student body in general.

SPORT SHORTS By BRAM*

The Fleet City second, third and fourth strings were a little too much for the frosh gridders to cope with Saturday afternoon, and after holding the strong Blue-jackets to a single score in the first half, they succumbed to the on-rushing Navymen who tallied three more in the last half.

Lou Zontini, former star Notre Dame quarterback, teamed with Cliff Lewis, ex-Duke university flash, and Curtis Sandig had a little too much experience for the up and coming Spartan frosh. Be-hind one of the biggest lines I have seen all season, these boys romped with comparative ease during most of the second half.

Zontini, who has seen a lot of action this year with the regular Fleet City varsity, was the stand-out.

Much credit should be given to the Yearlings for their fine de-fensive play, especially during the first half. That old college try was evident throughout the con-test. BASKETBALL STARTS SOON Reports have it from the P. E.

department that basketball season will officially start Monday, No-vember 26. Practice is scheduled for 4 o’clock, and Coach Bill Hub-bard will be on hand to meet the prospective squad.

Jack Marcipan, Ted Holmes, Bill McFarland. and Ed Loudon will be returning from last year’s team. Marcipan and Holnws were the starting guards on th? Spar-tan 1944 quintet.

Reports have it that Bert Rob-inson, captain of the 1942 and ’43 cage teams, will be back in uni-form this winter. Bert has an-other year’s eligibility both on the hardwood and on the gridiron.

Don McCaslin, high scoring cen-ler on last year’s cage club, may be back also. Don was recently discharged from the Merchant Marines, and plans on returning to State. McCaslin broke the school record in points scored in a single game when he racked UP 32 markers against San Francisco State last season.

Nunierous prep stars now en-

rolled at State will give added strength to the Spartan casaba tossers. From all indications it looks as though Sparta will have

its strongest cage aggregation since the start of the past world conflict.

MODESTO SATURDAY The frosh gridders conclude

their current grid season Satur-day when they meet the strong Modesto J. C. outfit. The Jaycee club has dropped only one game this season, ’and that was to a strong Marine team down their way.

Friday night Modesto soundly defeated Sacramento J. C., score being something like 59-0, if my memory serves me.

The Spartans will be in pretty fair physical shape, suffering no serious injuries from last Satur-day’s encounter with those pow-erful Bluejackets.

GAME BUSES Students turned out Saturday

afternoon to fill three buses char-tered to carry rooters to the game at Shoemaker. Two "Fearless Peerless" buses and one school bus carried the singing, yelling, spirited students through the Liv-ermore hills and into Pleasanton.

I kinda think that "Fearless Peerless" tag is quite appropriate, to say the least. Brother! you should have been on the one "Unc" McGill and I rode coming home. I’m not foolin’ when I tell you we said our "Our Fathers" and "Hail Mary’s."

STANFORD LOSES The Stanford Indians returned

to the gridiron picture to a cer-tain degree Saturday afternoon when they dropped the first of their two scheduled games to the Stockton Commando’s 19-13.

Marchy Schwartz fielded a smooth working club, whose only noticeable weakness was a pass defense. The Commandos scored three times on pass plays, while the Indians were getting a little better of it by the yardstick.

The Indians meet the San Mateo Merchant Marine Academy next week, in what should prove

to be an interesting contest.
