HITLER, GENIUS?

Al Christmas Dance
Dudley Heads

Group Planning
Annual Formal
Ted Weems and his orchestra,
featuring Perry Como and Elmo
Tanner will play at the annual
Christmas formal. December 11, In
the Bluegrass room of the Union
building. Sponsored by the Union
dance committee, the dance is in
charge of George Dudley, chairman
of the group.
Leading one of the nation's most
versatile bands, Weems employs
four men to arrange his numbers
for orchestral use, two with the
band, and two in New York, where
most music is published. Thus the
Weems organization is able to keep
"on top of the latest tunes published.
Weems Likes Metody
Melody, Weems thinks, has a
greater hold on the public than
swing, and most people still prefer
this type of music, being content
with just a dash of swing now and
then for variety's sake. Those who
most detest swing," he remarks,
"are the composers who complain
that when the swing arrangers get
through with their tunes, they are
unable to recognize them. Swing
music will probably continue in
popularity for the minority of music
lovers as it has done in the past."
Whistler's Mothers Boy
Elmo Tanner, billed as Whistler's
mother's boy, quit a job as a garage
mechanic to play the guitar with
Ted Weems. It was not until later
that the leader accidentally discovered that Tanner could whistle. His
wistling has become such a valuable
asset to the band that Weems has
had Tanner's whistle insured with
Lloyd's of London for $10,000. If
we ever collect on that policy," Tanner laughs, "it will be a case of not
whistling for your supper."
Perry Como, romantic baritone,
once organized his own band which
became so widely known that Paul
Whiteman sent a scout to hear him.
Weems. however, heard Como, out
bid the famous maestro, and signed
the singer to a long term contract.

Report Submitted
"Briefly, the things discussed at
my committee's last meeting," Marcus said, "were the cost of the food,
liaving the home economics department take over the management of the commons, the fact that
the football boys are shown special
favoritism by being given a reduction on their meals which must be
paid for out of the money from
those who also eat in the cafeteria,
the history of the commons, and a
plan for having the SGA give us
the information as to whether the
students are interested in having
meal tickets and plate lunches."
The committee, however, did not
reveal any definite information.

of Civil War vintage, which appears
to be the case with nine out of ten

"back to normalcy" doubtless meaning those inspiring days when isolation and war debts, prohibition and
bootlegging, and profits for the Big
Man and deficits for the Little Man
went hand In hand under the incompatible doctrine of the three C's
Capitalism, Christianity, and the
Constitution.
Opinioas as to the cause of the
Republican sweep have not been
found wanting. They range all the
way from
Wallace's
sprightly comment that he was surprised at the paucity of Republican
victories considering the fact that
the wealthier classes got out to vote
while the proletariat was too busy
with the war. to Senator Whoozits

The general apathy of the populace toward politics was noted and
bewailed on all sides. A healthy
sin. we claim, for it means that the
war is the chief topic of concern.
Those who resented our continued

To the Editor of The Kernel:
An article by Bob Warth in the
November thirteenth edition of The
Kernel proved to be slightly confusing to me. The article in question
was written in answer to a letter
written by one J. M. and published
in the November third edition of
the same sheet.
By reading J. M.'s letter I found
that he proposed to have a preponderance of physicists, engineers, doctors, and even a few accountants.
Your columnist said. "The essence
ol the letter feenied to be that
schools of higher education should
either shut down for the duration
or be converted into factories for
the production of technically trained
by essentially ignorant automatons."
I gather from the statement that
studenl.i v hi aspire to be physicists,
engineers, or doctors are classified
by Bob Warth as ignorant. Although
these professional groups are not
mentioned in his column, they are
specifically names in the letter
which he was answering.
If we who are seeking technical
knowledge are ignorant, what is an
educated man? Mr. Warth tells us
that education is "A way of life, if
you will; the ability to think
straight." If he will agree with us
that education is a process and not
an ability, we will agree with his
definition to the extent that we believe that one who has gained the
ability to think straight is truly "an
educated person. This being settled,
let us find out what type of person
our friend the columnist considers
well educated.
Among those listed I find such old
acquaintances as Newton. Pasteur,
and Darwin. The latter would probably be classified by J. M. as nonessential, but we may be sure that
Newton and Pasteur could easily
qualify as technically trained men.
It, is rather difficult, however, to
imagine that either Newton or Pasteur could legitimately be classified
as ignorant, essentially or otherwise.
Although we concur with him in
the statement that a man who can
think straight is eligible to be called
educated, your columnist must admit that we are living in a very
if all. or
dangerous environment
even an appreciable number of our
mathematiphysicists, engineers,
and
doctors.
mechanics.
cians,
nurses are unable to think straight.
Our buildings, bridges, ships, elec
tric utilities. trains, buses, and
planes can scarcely be reliable if
