...people of this country are pro-war. Never was any country less militaristic. Never was any student body more generally eager for peace. But this keenness for peace does not imply that America should be defenseless. It does not mean that we can dispense with even the meagre framework of an army of which the student R.O.T.C.'s are a small part.

These are no ordinary poles the firemen slide down to reach the first floor. Built of shiny brass, and hung from a steel framework the slide poles have aluminum shutters which open when a man's weight is put on the pole and close again when he lets go. The shutters cover up the hole through which the man must slide and prevent the usual draft which rushes up the open holes...
