Night Editor-ELLIS B. MERRY
OFF THIE SUBJECT
While it must be acknowledged
that considerable benefit resulted
from having the whole question of the
prevention of war aired in the debate
yesterday morning in Hill auditori-
um, many felt at the conclusion of
the hour's bombardment that the de-
baters failed to concentrate their at-
tention and to confine their argument
to the particular subject at hand:
Should the nation maintain its present
system of national defense.
There is no doubt that the usual
audience demans, an element of per-
sonal conflict, the, abstract issues
hold little appeal. But that hardly
justifies frequent use of personalities
before a University group. No less
regrettable is the fact that general-
ities too often clouded the issues. The
speakers did not get on a common
ground.' Professor Hobbs confined
the first' part of his talk to the ques-
tion at hand but ended with an attack
on slackerism.Mr Eddy spoke, with
the exception of his emphasis on the
abolishment of compulsory military
training, against war. Professor Reed
refuted Mr. Eddy's argument on com-
pulsory training but neglected some-
what the more particular subject of
our own military defense.
Undoubtedly the stir which has
been caused over Mr. Eddy's opinions
has resulted beneficially in the focus-
ing of student attention on the gener-
al subject of war and defense. Num-
bers have been prodded to an interest
they would otherwise have not pos-
sessed. But how much more worthwhile
would the debate have been if the
present system of national defense
had been the sole topic upon which
argument was concentrated and con-
fined.
THE PRESIDENT'S REPORT
Including recommendations for the
improvement of the general educa-
tional machinery the report of Pres-
ident Clarence Cook Little evidences
the fact that rapid strides are being
taken for the improvement of the sys-
tem. The report contains, among
other items, plans for a comprehen-
sive system of dormitories, a revised
curricula for women students, espe-
cially in preparation for motherhood,
and provisions for improved entrance
Such would include courses in natural
science, structure and functions of the
human body, elementary care of the
sick, and relative subjects.
The report takes up especially the
matter of entrance examinations. The
time when the unprepared will be in-
duced not to enter college until ready,
and when the unfit will be advised
in some way'to alter their plans and
to cope with the world through other'
than college training is anticipated.
Such a method, the President believes
will soon be devised. Judging by the
worth of it and other policies sug-
gested, such time should not be too
distant in the future.
THE DIAZ PROPOSAL
Forecasts that the United States
will receive some definite concession
of governmental control in Nicaragua
havq been somewhat substantiated by
the proposal of President Diaz that
American supervision be exercised
under an offensive and defensive al-
hlance between the two countries.
As far as supervision or control is
concerned, the United States should
be favorable toward starting the
negotiations suggested by the Nicara-
guan leader. The treaty would sim-
ply define, in writing some policy
similar to the one which the United
States is now following. The funda-
mental reason for both the proposed
agreement and the present action is,
of course, the protection of the econ-
omic and political interests which
this country has in Nicaragua.
Regarding the suggestion for con-
current action between the two coun-
tries in both offensive and defensive
situations, there seems to be little
need for the provision particularly in
itd application outside of Central
America. However, as this feature
may satisfy the national pride of the
Nicaraguans through its recognition
of their country as an equal, it might
be included in its restricted meaning.
Regardless of the form which the
agreement finally takes, it would
seem proper that some definite ar-
rangement be reached concerning the
relations between the two nations.
FIRE HAZARDS
If any lesson is to be learned from
the costly fire which destroyed part
of the old University hospital, it is
one which concerns the liability in-
volved in buildings which have be-
come firetraps.
It might well be remembered that
there are other buildings connected
with the University which are fire
hazards equally as great as was the
Hospital. Specifically, there might
be mentioned the Economics building,
Newberry hall, the zoology museum,
and University hall which contains all
the valuable administrative and
scholastic records of the University
for many years. In a possible disas-
ter to any one of these buildings, the
loss incurred might no so fortunately
be confined to property damages.
As a mere statement of conditions,
these facts should be known to the
people of the state. Moreover, since
the transfer of the activities now car-
ried on in these buildings to those of
safer construction would alleviate the
present dangers, the situation should
also be appreciated by the legislature
in considering the $4,925,000 building
measure, and the removal of the mill
tax limit which would increase the
University's maintenance fund to the
share originally intended for it.
SURVIVAL OF THE FIT
Education in its more serious
phases has always implied selectivity.
The theory that all men were born
equal and that every man has equal
capacities and abilities has long ago
been disproved by experience and
experiment. Man comes to this life
with an equal chance to prove that he
has a right to things that the coi-
monwealth of men called the Union
has to offer- him. But by the time he
reaches the age, of entering college,
it is to be expected that he shall have
proved, in at least some logical and
tangible manner that he has some
intentions and abilities that justify
his entrance as a college student.
It is on this theory that the new plan
suggested by President Little in his
annual report would function. It is
his hope that the selectivity that is
implied by education will be placed
a column for a long time. Just when
somethingcreal funny happens, they
take the column away from us.

"The audience won"-that was the
decision given by ROLLS' own com-
mittee of judges immediately after the,
debate yesterday. It was the unani-
mous opinion of the three judges that
the audience thoroughly enjoyed it-
self, and perhaps incidently learned
something about war from seeing it
as it is like in actual practice.
The debaters themselves agreed oil
practically everything too. In fact
the aidy time they disagreed was
(when they got off the subject.
When Reed stated that compulsory
military training breeded more paci-
fists than Eddy could make in a life-
time of oratory, Eddy nodded and ap-
plauded complete agreement. Which
brought down the house, and Reed
had to demand "time out."

BLOW BY BLOW ACCOUNT
OF TILE BATTLEI
(Not Censured By the Military)
SOMEIIWHERE IN HILL AUDI-
TORIUM; Feb. 22.-rhe Spring drive
of the Allies opened here this morn-
ing with a 25-minute onslaught en-t
gineered by the forces under coM-
inand of General I; obbs.
* * *
"Man is a fighting animal" was the
shot heard round the auditorium.
Several times during the battle it was
Washington that saved the day for
the Allies. R. 0. T. C. ridge was next
mounted by troops under General
Hobbs. On this summit he mounted
the guns of "this is the most vital
point of the whole system of national.
defense.'
* * *
A strip of yellow hunting was fig-
uratively waved in the faces of the
Eddy army as it rushed up to the
heights. Roosevelt's ghost aided the
Allies in the last moment of this phase1
of the battle.1
* .* *
It looked like arbirtation when
Commander-in-Chief Eddy opened his
advance with a volley of agreement
with Hobbs' opinion. Compulsory
Military Training Ridge was the cen--
ter of this phase of the fight, with a c
flank movement against the heightst
of R. O. T. C. Hill. Cal Coolidge'si
Rough-Riders aided materially in this
fight.
Reed led his shock troops into thej
defense of R. O. T. C. Hill with a
smashing "agreement with a lot Eddyj
said." Eddy's own amunition, in the1
shape of a book he wrote, was even +
used by Field-Marshal Reed in this
attack. Following a barrage of high!
explosives, Field-Marshal Reed at-
tacked Eddy's headquarters at Y. M.
C. A.
* * *
Reed troops faltered once, when by
a flank movement, they failed to come
to the support of Hobbs' forces at
League swamp.
As the Armistice was signed, neither
side could claim a complete victory.
Thorughout the battle, the supposed
objective, National Defense Forest,
was the scene of the least fighting.
