...accepted the John Reed portrait, the university hates fascism and loves communism. The conclusion is, of course, ridiculous. Acceptance of the offer of Herr Hanfstaengl, one of Hitler's aides, would have signified at least tacit approval of the present German dictatorship. A like proposal from Moscow would doubtless be similarly rejected. Acceptance of a portrait of John. Reed, a man who died fifteen years ago, is merely compliance with the wish of a group of fellow graduates to honor his independence of mind and courage of belief...
...much desired amendments came from a group of wilfully conscientious members of Congress. Mr. Wallace, when he offered AAAmendments last year and again this year, explained that they were nothing but at tempts to "refine" and "strengthen" the existing law. In Mr. Wallace's eyes, the amendments doubtless are no more, for in his eyes AAA is simply an authorization from Congress to fulfill his father's desire to give all farmers a good price for their products...
Even these men do not deserve to be dignified by abuse. The good sense of the average American university student is adequate protection against their "heresies." The few who succumb to their propaganda would doubtless be as easily influenced by others. To seek to protect these few by forbidding all expressions of "radicalism" is to use the disastrous methods of the prohibitionists.

If curbed they must be, there is no better weapon than ridicule--as the Michael Mullins Marching...
Those who advocate complete State ownership of all property and means of production, said Mr. Douglas, "conceive of the State as something more intelligent, endowed to a greater extent with wisdom, than are the individuals which are but its integral parts. Though doubtless they would not concede it to be true, they must believe that the State can do no wrong. This, it seems to me, is an illusion, for the State is composed of its integral parts, the individuals acting through their representatives. The State is therefore subject, at least, to all of the fallacies, errors, ignorances and prejudices...
...Returning to the young woman, who has now recovered, the immaculate avenger doffs his topper, bows from the waist saying, "Your purse, Madam," steps quickly back into his limousine, purrs away into the night. . . . Should a Hollywood producer present such a scene on the U. S. screen, audiences would doubtless groan or guffaw. Should any citizen of Atlanta behold such a scene on Ivy Street, near Cain, he would not believe his eyes. Yet that scene is precisely what took place one evening last week, according to Mrs. Mildred Wilson, 23. Convincing enough to Atlanta police were the bruise...
