DearEditor:
As you
all
know, the governor of Puerto Ricois
appointed by thePres-ident of the United
States.
Several jrears ago a man who was considered ho goodin
ever;'--position
ho ever occupied'-wa- ssent to Puerto Rico as the governor. This man
is
Rexford Guy Tugwell." " ' '--Jr.' Tugwell,
'personally,
seems tobe a charming man; ho has a pleasant
personality
andis
a good mixer. How--'ever, as a
politician
"he seems'to
be too much on the side of Absolute Control of Everything Pertaining to the'Govern-ment
Activities.
In other words, heis
an absolutebeliever
in Concentrationand the Hell with the Popular
Represen-tation. In Puerto Rico with the coope-ration of several
local
politicians,
who were unknown before Tugwell, ho has dominated everything by organizingbureaus which are known as
Authorities.
For example: theexploitation
ofelec-tric
poweris controlled
by theAutho-rity of Water Resources having a monopoly
over
all
the waterj whichis
not verymuch,
available for
power generation.Then we have the Authority of
Tran-sportation
that
has taken overall
the buses and everything
pertaining to
transportation.

Perhaps the ntost provoking
criticism
which we honestly can make
in
connectionv.lth ourselves here
at
Kenyonis
ourapparent unwillingness
to
think-
withintegrity
andsincerity.
Some observethat
to many of us areinconsiderate,
malicious, greedy, self-center- ed and the
like.
Emotions, obviousljr, are theroot
cause of these
evils.
Evilsin that
theyprevent our group from functioning har-moniously and,
therefore,
inefficiently.
However,' granting the presence of
emotions, the applied thinking of each and every ona-- of us concerning
all
thethings we do and say
will
control
theseunwanted emotions.
Consider the many unkind, and
usually
inaccurate, "slams" passed by us in
speaking of the various aspects of campus
life.
Theadministration, faculty,
fraternities,
and the student--- bod; shouldbe appraised but not
torn
apart withmalicious emotionalism. VJe arc so
accustomed
to
thelatter
that
a thinkingindividual
is
a sport of our species.So many of us pass judgement without a
complete
picture.
This tendencyis
shownevery day
in
theclass
room, on theathletic field,
the paths and evenin
chapel.
Let us take a look
at
thetypical
malicious
emotionalist.
This fellowbears watching. He
strides
about tiiccampus with an
intellectual
chip onhis
shoulder, shouting
his
knowledge andopinion on
all
subjects from the roof tops. Drjnmingthis,
condemningthat,
and generallytearing
clown, not buildingxipJ' everything and everybody. This
fellow
invariably
considers himself asuperior being
-
possessing afine
intellect
and cult-or-efar
beyondthat
ofhis' hapless companions.
It
is this
type who, with nnldcious emotionalism anda
glib, superficial
intellect,
was"easy-mea-t"
for
the Fascist, philosophy.This fellow
is
the trouble makerwherever he goes. This fellow believes
that
he speaks with hisintellects.
On the contrary,
this
fellowis
thekind of "emotionalist" whom we arc
obligated to
fight
-
both in ourselvesand othersi
"Stop, Look, Listen
-
and THINK I "Common advice but so necessary and
essential for
the dcvelopemcnt of theeducated man. After
all,
we cometo
Kenyon
to
make ourselvesbetter
men. The mediumis
education. Wewill
neverapproximate the educated man
if
weallow our malicious emotions to run rampant and permit the
fields
of ourthinking
to
lie
fallow.LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear
Editor:
YJhen the United
States
enteredthe war
in
'41 many colleges tookthis
as a general sign forall
ofthem
to
give up many oftheir activities,
Kenyon was one of these schools.Until recently
the campus wasbare of any
article
of "publicopnion". Another organization which
offers outlet
for opnion andoppo-rtunity for study of current
affairs
is
theInternational
Relations Club,ihat,

I.y hope
is
that
someonerealizes
the acute dilemma caused by the absence of the
I.R.C.,
and takes someaction
to correct
it.
Canit
be done?Sincerely,

Kenyon
is
probably one of the few, if notthe
only collegein
this
part
ofthe country, in which we have a
f
raternity
system such as oursj a system
that
includesthe singing of every
fraternity
song byall men on the campus. VJo are very proud
nf
this
tradition,
for
it"is
a very worthtile
one, and wedefinitely
do' hot wantto
let
it
die.
Soit
is
with deepfeeli-ng
that
weoffer
a pleafor
thecontinua-nce" of such
fraternity
and college singsas we had
last
Tuesdaynight.
Although the"
external features
ofthis group sing were rough in many places
it vras a grand demonstration of the
spirit
for which
this
schoolis
noted.Tith
such
spirit
and more organization we cansrjooth out the bumps and,
in
time, againbecome the "singing school" of years :nno by. To do
this,
it
is
our suggestionthat instead of having one person
direct
singing, each
fraternity
song--leader
should
set
thepitch
and tempofor his
ovn marching song. ".Tith
