Tickets: Rally round your parents, your friends, your kinsfolk, and have a party within a party. Secure money and pur chase tickets in the S.A.C. office on the fourth floor, where Helen Sauer and Ei leen Coyne, S.A.C. representatives, are' handling the sales. Each ticket, 1. Patrons: Make out a list of people you know who may like to donate 5 to the Card Party, and check your list with S.A.C. representatives Julia Case and Jerry Stutz to avoid any duplication of names.

Again, check for dupli cations with S.A.C. chairman Jean Bemis or her assistant, Mary Frances Padden. From them, too, secure the advertising blanks, and remember, accuracy must guide you. Don't forget that there is to be no advertisement-soliciting within a three- block radius of the College. ' Check all your card party efforts at the S.A.C. office Room 404.

To the college student, rationing should mean, for example, budgeting time. We should not waste our idle moments we should convert them into service by doing some work for the war effort such as sell ing Stamps or rolling bandages for tne Red Cross. We should budget our allowances and come, thereby, to know the value of the dollar. Our expenditures should be re stricted to necessities; thus we can help to curb excessive buying, which is one reason why our government has been forced to ration commodities. The money thus saved should be invested in War Bonds and Stamps. When making purchases, we should con centrate on utility. Before the present cri sis, we selected a dress, suit, or coat be- cause it was in the fashion of the hour. Today, instead of satisfying a whim, we should buy with our attention focused on practicability, durability, and conservative- ness. Then, wearing last year's hat won't be a blow to feminine morale; because oi our wise choice we will still look well- dressed. Our motto should be Buy Wise ly and Buy Less. Consciousness of restriction, and of need for conservation, will enable us to develop habits of intelligent planning, buying, andi caring for what we buy, imperative and pa triotic in wartime, and wonderfully valu able in themselves as a part of our postwar equipment for living. Words and Music Are Important Tacticians . Cooperation Among Nations Is Papal Plea In a recent issue,, we discussed four points of the Papal peace program, those dealing particularly. wi,th nations. From national conditions; ;we logically progress .to-international conditions; in his first ip'oiht. on thisi tna.'Uen lhe. .Pope says: In- ternatioiiat'-'WganizatiDns -rutrst be .CJtab- dished as thd machinery of worldwide so cial, economic, and political cooperation. Cooperation is a meaningful word. It is unfortunate that it is too-often used as a slogan by those to whom its true meaning is vague in the extreme. Strictly 'speaking, cooperation means operating together, for a common end. This latter phrase is -forgot or ignored by shallow individuals who are prone .' to remark sagely that cooperation is the answer, and then to go about their own blisiness with no further thought : o'n thesubject. ' . Chice we realize 'tbat we must work- to gether for. a peacefuf world, then we re quire a means of getting together. The machinery of cooper'atjon which the Holy Father urges is composed of trade agree ments in the economic, field, and commis sions and like bodies'iii' the social and po litical fields. International machinery having been provided, we face the .question of what course must be taken .with those nations which persist, in war-provoking tactics. To this, the Holy-Father answers ffrmly: A court of compulsory arbitration should be set up and sanctions should be invoked against aggressors. This arbitration is to be compul sory, not a thing to be sought by one side and ignored by the other. And, should aggressive action continue, then all other nations, working to gether as a unit, should use sanctions to enforce the right. It is, however, only when the other nations work ab solutely together that such action brings the necessary results. With united action to meet aggression, neutrality retires from World poli tics. There is a further point, aimed specifi cally at removing opportunities or excuses for the outbreak of war. ' There must be disarmament, the. Pope.writes, and lib eration from the rule of force. Left with no weapon of offense, man will soon learn to achieve his ends by peaceful means. It is the final point of the'Pope's pro gram, implicit)- understeod in' all other points, which i?, and of. necessity must be, the foundation and -guide in the coming struggle to maintain peace. This is the foundation which other peace plans avoid, which other plans fear to approach. The Holy Father expresses it thus: The au thority J (iod and the moral law must l gt;e recognized. Man has always been aware of the power of words. During wartime, much of the success of the fighting depends on the ef fectiveness of the words which invade the enemy mind through propaganda broad casts before the troops invade the enemy territory.

WE MEET WE LEARN In Rebirth in Liberty, by Eva Lips, we meet a woman with a sky-reaching soul who opened first her heart and then her mind to the multi-colored mosiac of America; her husband, stripped of Old World honors but young and gay in his conquest of a new land; their amazing range of friends, from Supreme Court justice to cigar-store proprietor. We learn the story of a dis covery, told in lyrical prose the discovery of America, made by the cosmopolitan wife of a Ger man university professor, exiled from her country by the advent of a-paper hanger. As she gazes at the towering structures. that say 'yes' to life, learns to know the people, great and humble, who are the pulsebeat of a way of existence, and ab sorbs the warmth of brotherhood and equality for which the Constitution stands, Fva Lips is reborn and grows to full stature, an American.
