Notre Dame Game
Tickets Offered
for Homecoming Motto
“Hmmmm! Slogan, slogan; me kingdom fer a slogan!” a mysterious figure, all but hidden in a heavy cloak, was heard to mutter to himself as he glided about the upper floors of the Student Union at a late hour yesterday.
It was apparent to those who overheard him that he already pictured himself as the proud possessor of the pair of 50-yard line tickets to the Notre Dame game that are being offered to the winner of the Homecoming slogan contest, which officially opens today.
For the convenience of those students who wish to enter the contest, a special entry blank appears on this page which may be filled out and deposited in any one of three boxes located at the entrance of Old College, Bridge hall, and the Student Union. These may be identified by their red color and the “Letters-to-the-Editor” signs posted upon them. The box in the Student Union is identified by a “Slogan Contest” sign and is located at the north entrance.
“Homecoming” as a concrete theme and any ideas or word pictures associated with it should form the basis of any slogan written and submitted by students. The only qualifications are those of any good slogan; brevity, clearness, appropriateness. It should be remembered that the winning slogan will form the basis of a special broadside to be mailed to over 22.000 alumni in the near future and will be featured in stories appearing in downtown papers, in window displays, and on posters.
Any student enrolled in the university is eligible to enter the competition and may submit as many entries as he or she wishes. If for Dersonal reasons fictitious names are used, some positive means of identification must be included with the proposed slogan in order to have it considered by the judges. All entries must be in by noon on Thursday, as Judging will take place that afternoon.

Dr. Herbert L. Searles. assistant professor of philosophy—Roosevelt has had long experience and has done a good job of it.
Dr. Paul R. Helsel, assistant professor of philosophy—I am not advocating all of the New Deal, but I am for certain economic, agricultural, labor, and social instruments of government and welfare ihat Roosevelt advocates.
Dr. Wilbur H. Long, professor of
philosophy—I am voting for him because he should be permitted to complete the program by which history will recognize him as writing a chapter in American life
Oren Waite, junior—Roosevelt is my man! I want a man that can think clearly and sincerely.

Elinor Loving, sophomore — I wouldn’t vote for Thomas because he is a Socialist. I wouldn’t vote for Roosevelt because I don’t ap prove of a third term. I won’t vote for Willkie because he talks too much. Browder, definitely not,
Muelder
Describes
Humanism
Philosophy Forum Will Consider Basis of Moral Order Today *
Dr. Walter Muelder, professor of Christian theology and Christian ethics, will speak on “The Cosmic Basis of the Moral Order” today at the philosophy forum at 4:15 p.m. in Bowne hall.
Dr. Muelder will discuss the traditional belief in a cosmic moral order under the light of humanism and autonomy in ethics.
“I will examine the relationship of the thinking of John Dewey of Columbia university to the practical politics of Adolph Hitler for their significance against the background of political theories of the middle ages,” Dr. Muelder stated.
The various ethical dispositions will be considered, and also their way of carrying the conflict of their views into metaphysical conflicts. The above issues will be illustrated by the speaker with historic references and contemporary conflicts in politics.
“Greek idealsim holding to a belief in natural justice, and stoic rationalism holding to the belief in natural right were fused with theological ethics of Christianity to form a basis for the political theories of the middle ages. Their influences reached down to the writing of the declaration of independence,” Dr. Muelder commented.
This will be the sixth in a series of weekly lectures on “Moral Problems in Modem Life,” sponsored by the School of Philosophy. The public is invited to attend these lectures.

of vindication of the principles and policies on which we have fought the campaign.”
Earlier, he had conducted a whirlwind campaign ln his native Dutchess county, a Republican stronghold, during which he said that the third term which he seeks will be his last bid for public office. Record crowds cheered his brief speeches.
WASHINGTON QUOTED He ended his drive for another term in a short radio address and his concluding remarks were the recitation of an old prayer which George Washington is said to have written. It asked divine guidance from “violence, discord and confusion; from pride and arrogance and from every evil way.”
Willkie began the last day of his campaign with a promise to the women of the nation that he would not take the country into war unless congress ordered it.
WILLKIE CONCLUDES In an address at 10:15 pm. EST in which he shared a radio broadcast with his running mate. Sen. Charles L. McNary of Oregon, Willkie rejected again the theory that President Roosevelt ls indispensable in the present international crisis.
He warned that it is dangerous to shatter the principles against a third term.
“That means that democracy must surrender in the face of trouble,” Willkie declared. “It means that whenever our government says it sees an emergency we must forego our democratic institutions until the government is pleased to return them to us.”
