Walls of Troy Hide Our Boys
The Walls of lr*/y are tumbling down!
But not tor long. They will be back up in time to shield sweating pigskinners from the prying eyes of Notre I)ame spies.
So said the operations and maintenance office last week, referring to the old wood and stucco wall along the north side of Bovard field. The sidewalk skirting the wall is also being torn out. It may be replaced.
A new one will be built as soon as possible, probably before football practice starts, they said. It may not help to keep Irish spies away, but they feel that an ounce of precaution is worth a pound of something or other.
Europe Unity Problem Told
Dr. Storing Outlines Trends Toward Unification in History
"One only has to traverse the United States by auto* mobile to understand the importance of unification,” Dr. James A. Storing, professor of political science, Colgatt university, said last week.
Speaking in the art and lecture room of the University
library, Dr. Storing spoke on “Uni-
ty in Western Europe,” in the last in the summer serins of lectures sponsored by the departments of political science, history, and international relations.
“Crossing state lines without passports, in fact, practically unnoticed until I reached California,
I was tempted to wonder why the same principle of unification could not be applied to Europe,” he said.
OUTLINES HISTORY
The question was immediately dismissed as naive, however, when he pointed out that the peoples of Europe do not represent a homogeneous area as do the people of the United State3.
Beginning with the family, the history of unification was traced by the lecturer. Families seem to have been a unit of society from prehistoric times.
Later the families united Into clans for protection from other groups of people and the elements. The clans united to form villages with the advent of hoe-culture or agriculture, and the unification progressed until at the present time the world seems to be united into two large areas.
GUNS FORM NATIONS
“Of course, we all know what areas those are,” Dr. Storing remarked.
“With the invention of gunpowder, the walled cities and feudal estates no longer offered protection against invaders,” he said, and indicated that this gave rise to the nation-states.
Nation-states were justified as the providers of unity and protection. Some held that state sovereignty was inherent, and others were unified through the philosophy of inherent rights. Now we have no similar philosophy to unite the world.
“The mere fact the UN exists indicates the apparent realization on the part of the people of the world that a world organization is necessary,” he said concerning the present situation.
During the question period following the lecture, a member of the audience pointed up the fact that all unification in the past seemed to be against something. The question was raised about unifying the world when there seemed to be nothing left to unify it against.

Willie Returns to Wampus Job ★ ★ ★ ★ Moguls Plan Early Copy
With a whirr of mighty wings, Willie the Wampusbird, patron saint of SC’s sterling humor magazine, came to rest in the pigeon cote on the roof of the Student Union Friday and blasted the Capistrano myth.
His early' return from his annual summer sojourn in tho desolate northern wastelands was accompanied by loud huzzahs from the lonely lady pigeons, been pining away because they hadn’t seen a Wampus since spring and were glad to hear there would be an issue out very early this year, probably during the first week of school.
Andy Anderson, Willie’s right-wing man on the Wampus staff, is also back from the northern
who had
wastelands to begin preparations for an early deadline, only a week away, and he raises an urgent appeal for all regular or would-be Wampus workers to appear in his office either today or tomorrow between 1 and 3 in the afternoon in 404 Student Union.
* Writers, artists, idea men, and office help are all needed, Anderson e m p h a-sizes. for both this issue and the remainder of the year. Staff positions are as yet unfilled, and the opportunity for those reporting early is wide-open, he says. Writers and cartoonists are cautioned, however, to check with Anderson as to the suitability of material or ideas before preparing anything more than rough drafts or sketclies.
