NOTES OF
A NITWIT
By Bob Kincuid
IN REPLY TO "FACING WAR"
The Rambler's editorial, "Facing War," met
with strong disapproval on the T. W. C. campus last
week. Its major assertions were that peace has
glories less renowned than war; that fears of war are
completely ungrounded; and that war has a divine
purpose to fulfill—that of propelling progress.
Excerpt from the writing: "In accidents there
may be blood, torn bodies and wierd screams. Was
any one hurt? If there was as much as an arm torn off,
th£re was no one hurt. {Then why the screams?" An-
other so-called application of war was to this effect:
"When a baby bumps his head, he doesn't cry until
after his mother takes alarm;, t.heA the child really
believes he is-hurt and begins crying."
The old Spartan mettiod of brutality might have
coincided with the first bit of reasoning offered, and
nursery techniques may soundly be presented in the
second; but to apply either* or both to present-day
warfare seems an absurdity beyond question.
During the World War, authorities estimate that
338 billion dollars were spent and that ,41 million
lives were lost. For what? Democracy seems "no
safer today than it wtfs in 1914. Yet the insurance of
democracy was the excuse for the massacre. To fear
"another massive massacre is not without wisdom.
The fear of disaster is a foundation stone of progress.
Strife for the sake of strife means no progress
whatever. Neither does peace for the sake>4>f peace
make, advancement. But peace*for the sake of fin-
ance, health, morality, and life does assure a progress
that cannot be denied. —R. Iv.
INSPIRATION AND PERSPIRATION
"Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-
nine percent perspiration."—Edison.
Some people are by nature brighter than others;
the world would be a dull place if this were not true.
And yet the one who gets ahead is not usually the
one who had to struggle all his life for what he learn-
ed.
A ver^ bright child finds early in life that he can
prepare his lessons with almost no effort. Soon he
ceases to study^t all, preferring to wait until class,
depending upon his sharp wits to see him through.
His duller class-mate enviously determines to sur-
pass him. And often when the success of the two is
compared later in life, thfc hard-working student J,s
found'to have won esteem in the community, perhaps
is wealthy, and revered; the bright young man has
little more than his clever conversational power to
count as his success.
■Be not dismayed, therefore, if tasks are hard;
perhaps through perspiration a coveted goal may be
w;on.
The effect kodaks have on most
females is interesting to note. Or-
dinarily they are calm and never
lose their sense of equilibrium, but
just the anticipa-
tion of the camera
click sends gog-
eyes and a fter-
vousness de luxe to
; their pretty per-
sons. How many
;jf girls do you know
who will pose in
a n unattractive
Kincakl m»a n n e r ? "Hor-
rors*" they always say»and walk
away. '
For example, a while back
Grandma almost disinheirited me—
just for slipping a shotgun in front
of the post she was posing beside!
Crazy quilting: If you like to
see blushes, ask Mr. H. H. Hughes
about his "studiq" in Dan Wag-
goner . . . Red Walsh smiles even
while thinking of serious matters.
Definite opposites: Red and I . .
Where did Mrs. Bowman (my em-
ployer) get the idea that 60 min-
utes make an hour? . . . Mrs. Bick-
ers says "Lditln" as if it were "lat-
TIN" . . . Fly in freshmen soup:
Lottie Phelan.
Off moment composition: Sister,
sister, come and see; 'tis not a bird,
'tis riol a bee; up it rises, there
it goes; now it alights up on a
rose."
With Pepsodent seeking younger
.audiences, Amos and Andy may be
replaced by an act sifnular to the
Dr. Pepper Cadets. Or, at least,
that is what some Dr. Pepper
dealers are saying.
-■To go> like a one-cylinder ^so«
line engine, whisper thig* quickly:
"In bed we laugh; in bed we cry;
and, born in bed, in bed we die."
When a feller feels a fool: For
years we cleaned our cistern tanks
at home by first dipping the bot-
toms dry, one bucket at a time.
But we don't anymore. The other
day a city dude suggested we use
garden hose and siphon the water
out. Are we the dumb ones!
O
DOES THE CHURCH KNOW YOU?
Are you one of the more progressive young peo-
ple who have affiliated, themselves with a church,
giving four time and talents to a most worthy cause,
or are you one of the "lazy-minded" who depend on
others to carry the burden of Christian society for
the college, organization ?
Fort Worth churches have extended a most cor-
dial welcome to college students and faculty, and the
invitation, if accepted, will, no doubt, benefit the in-
dividual, and will help Texas Wesleyan College to
maintain the high spiritual rating it has attained in
other vears. —N. Y.
John Hensill seems to have set-
tled down, since his two years in
Weatherford College. Unmarried
then and ready for homespun gay-
ety, Hensill was considered the
tart of the campus. Seldom was
a "Knock Down and Drag Out"
fiddle tune rounded off in assembly
that John's hat was not gleefully
flung above the audience.
John, on one occasion, was ac-
cused of booing the announcement
of a recital number by shouting—
along with a fling of the head-
gear—"Chicken Reel, Sam!"
College Comment
■» «
And we thought few persons read
our editorials, but our idea was
entirely wrong because an articlc
in "Facing War" yhich appeared
in last's week's paper, caused qs
to change our minds. Although
Information contained in this
article is not the policy of the
Rambler, it caused much comment.

If a certain government teacher
pops the question, "Have the crows
ever picked your eyes without your
feeling it?" don't say, "yes". Such
an answer might lead him to have
bad thoughts about you.

Who would have thought one of
the Ram team would enter his
second childhood? That is exactly
what happened^ though. We won't
tell off, but one of the players has
two dolls in his room!'
# * * *
Speaking of speed—who said it
took girls a long time to dress?
Your idea concerning this question
must be wrong. Didn't you notice
how quickly S. M. K. models dress-
ed at chapel last week? v

You can ^y things about your
fellow man and you can do things
for spite, but could you take the
same medicine if he did the same?

What is your opinion of a fresh-
man who had a chance to go home
for the week-end and yet refused
because he had a ticket to the
show?

T. W. C. students seem to be

fountains are equipped with glass
containers.

Lottie's Room mate
Woke to the strains of on off-
key rendition of(£)Pood Morning
emanating from the buttermilk
soprano of the next-door neighbor
and wondered-rather gloomily why
darkies were born. Spent the next
fifteen minutes trying to talk my-
self into springing out of bed with
a song in the heart (an accomp-
lishment the neighbor seems to
have achieved very successfully),
but succeeded only to the extent
that by extreme effort, 1 managed
gently to lay aside the covers and
stumble sleepily toward the place
where I had last seen my shoes.
They weren't there—they never
are—-but were under the middle of
the bed. Pretended, by the pro-
cess of* counting from ten to one,
that the muscles I possessed were
those of a tumbler, and thus re-
trieved the foot-gear, bumping my
head on the way back. Counted
from 20 to 1.
Met two classes—slept through
one—and decided I had rather
clean up my room than to sit
through the next one. Lay down
to recuperate from the morning's
strenuous activity and went to
sleep. Was awakened by the heard
stampeding toward the dining hall,
joined the ranks, and sat at a table
with some boys who insisted on
playing catch with pieces of bread.
Caught one in the nose and cooly
excused myself, after first counting
from 30 to 1.
Came back to the dormitory de-
termined to clean up the room, but
into a session and grabbed until
time from hockey practice. Made a-
firm resolution to clean up the
room after dinner. ^
Dashed from one end of the
field to the other, deploring my
lack of ability as a hockey, plajjer.
i Got the full benefit of a freshman's
ardor from sports as she practically
beat me to death with a hockey
stick; decided a t.o^ do something
about my evident resemblance to a
hockey ball. I didn't hit her back,
but it was simply because I count-
ed from 40 to 1.
Went to dinner and left with
thafcp pleasant glow inside that
comW from being too full. Truck-
ed a while in the paiior and struck
out for the Poly opera. (I'll clean
up the room tomorrow.) Came
home, dead for sleep and crawled
into jKjkshort-sheeted bed full of
soap'flaKes. Made a freshman give
me her bed and slept in the cold,
'cause I-^was just too sleepy to
count from 50 to 1.
Well, tomorrow is another day;
I hope so, anyway. Until then . . .
Good-bye now,
Lottie's room-mate.

A DARKEY'S ADVICE
Now "dey" ain't no„use a'frgjttin'
'Bout the things you didn't get.
And don't set down and smile
'Cause yo' ship ain't anchored
vet.
And don't go 'round complaining
'Bout the things you haven't
done,
Just work on in the future,
'Cause it's brighter than the sun.

Personality Sketches
Two of the most colorful per-
sonalities found on the campus
last week are those of Margret
Jobe, S. M. K. president, and Ila
Mae Kennedgj^Koro president.
Both girls are responsible for the
successful manner 111 which all so-
" " ° '
cial affairs were«<conducted during
"Rush Week". It was under their
capable leadership that old and
new girls were made acquainted at
events given. Orchids to each for
the plans they effected in their
respective clubs, for Margret and
Ila, along with the help of the
sponsors, Miss Evelyn Doak, S. Mj>
K., and Miss Juanita Cowan, Koro,
and with efficient committees, put
over a series of parties long to be
remembered.
Margret is a June candidate for
graduation, a member of the Thes-
pian club and a major in physical
education. She is an assistant in
that department.
Ila is an August candidate for
graduation, is vice-president of her
class, a member of the Thespian
«•
club, and a Rambler staff reporter.
She is majoring in physical edu-
cation.
Both girls are members of Autiss
social club and are active in all
school enterprises.

QUATRAINS FOR COLLEGE
OUR POLICY
False conclusions were drawn by numerous read-
ers when an editorial entitled "Facing War" appear-
ed in the Rambler last week. The staff wishes to
make a statement to the effect that fhis editorial was
not written by the editorial staff, and that it does not
coincide with the policy ..of the paper.
Such articles will be placed in an open forum here-
after instead of in the editorial column.
The Freshman
He comes and goes upon his way,
His stare upon the floor.
(He'd find the room he's search-'
Ing for,
If he'd look above the door.)
The Sophomore
Serenely confident that he
Will meet nobody greater,
The sassy sophomore treads the
halls.
(He'll find out different later.)
The Junior
The worries of the world all sit
Upon the junior's shoulder.
He has to manage everything!
(A pity he's not older.)
The Senior ^
Still sits the senior on tne steps.
WILLIE
Hevs nonchalant as
He can be.
He's treated just
Like royalty.
Ct
He is feted here
And feted there,
And of popularity •
Gets the Lion's share.
For these attentions
He doesn't give a flimflam,
He's just a great big
Healthy Ram!
—Nora (Mrs. Roy) Yager.
(He feels he must look down
on
The world he but so lately left—
Poor underclass ^minion.)

There have been many p.hildso-
phies written, and it has been my
privilege to-read a few of them,
but one of the most simple and yet
the most "forceful was one I heard
in a local theatre the past week
end. Such a simple statement, but
one that could carry the weight of
the ages.
Only twp words«~i!Be kind". Stop
just a moment and think—realize
for yourself how much these two
words could mean to a world that
is being thrown into chaos by the
greed of man. From these ,two
words world peace and a Utopia
could be found!
You say there can never be a
Utopia—you are right. Thgre can
never be here on this earth t&cause
—a thousand things would be here
to thwart such a movement. But
just think what a different place
this would be if everyone of us
were kind. We would settle all
differences without the use of leth-
al^ weapons and there would be no
cause for greed because there
• would be, no gain in greed
