It really looks as though leap year

Dear,
"GET WISDOM, AND WITH THY
GETTING, GET UNDER
STANDING." The editorial, "Northwestern 's
Stand," that appeared in a recent is
sue of The Daily Nebraskan, was in
no sense a defence of the doctrine of
pacifism. Because of the fact that
some of our readers have missed the
point one of our editorial writers at
tempted to make, we offer this ex
planation. The editorial told of the dismissal
of a student from Northwestern Uni
versity, because that student, with a
number of others, signed a pledge
never to take up arms. We were
not defending the stand taken by this
small group of students, but rather
commenting on the futility of the ac
tion of the President of Northwest
em in dismissing the student, and its
encroachment of the scared privilege
of freedom of thought.
There are two kinds of pacifists
One, the radical, who under no cir
cumstances would take up arms for
the defense of his country, and there
is the liberal pacifist who would hesi
tate to take up arms if he thought
that the United States were in the
wrong and that the war was being
promoted for selfish reasons, but
who would gladly enlist if our na
tional honor were at stake, if our
country was in danger of beisg over
run by the enemy, or if his loved
ones were in danger.
This radical pacifism violates one
of the fundamental laws of human
nature, and we refer to that doctrine
that no one should ever take up arms
for their country. We can not be
lieve that this small group of young
men realized just what they were
doing when they pledged themselves
never to fight for their country. We
can not imagine a man who would
see his country over-run by a con
quering invader and never lift a
hand to defend his loved ones and
friends. We can not conceive of a
person without the instinctive desire
to help and protect those dearest to
him.
On the ether hand, few citizens
would be ready and willing to enlist
in the army, that our country might
invade and conquer her weaker
neighbors. Few Americans would
want to see the United States embark
on a program to conquer the world.
Few would want to see our country
start wars for selfish motives.
Doubtless, the foolish students at
Northwestern knew not what they
were doing, and did not realize the
full import of that foolish pledge
which they signed. . They perhaps
never considered that they were de
claring themselves as unwilling to
protect the honor and safety of their
country, their people, their loved
ones. They are to be pitied.
But what good did President
Scott's action do? It only added
fuel to the flames. It provided the
radical writers with material that
could be converted into propaganda.
It opened the entire University sys
tem to attack. It denied the freedom
of thought, even though it was wrong,
"Get wisdom and with thy getting,
get understanding."
How much better it would have
been had this student been allowed to
remain in school. As it is, he has
been cast into darkness. He is not
converted. He has been given no op
portunity to see the fallacy of his
doctrine, except perhaps by bitter
experience. Then too, at the com
pletion of his course, this student
might have seen things in a different
light.
That is the purpose of education
to broaden the viewpoint of the in
dividual. This student might have
got wisdom, and with It, understanding.

W. S. G. A. OFFICERS ARE NOT
REPRESENATIVE.
To the Editor:
Members of the board of Womens
Self Governing Association were
elected' Tuesday and Wednesday by
women of the University who had
paid the fifty-cent membership fee
of the association, thereby making
themselves eligible to vote.
A glance at the personell of the
newly-elected board reveals these
fasts, as to the degree in which it is
representative. Every member is a
sorority girl. Eight out of eighteen
sororities are represented. Two-hundred
votes were cast.
There are 2200 women in school,
every one of whom is affected by
the rules made by W. S. G. A. Six-

Six-hundred and eleven live in room

hundred and eighty-eight make their
homes with private families.
InJividually and as a group the
new board is made up of Bplendid
material. No doubt it will honestly
attempt to function to the best of its
ability. But nevertheless it does not
represent the points of view of the
women whose need it is expected to
meet. Does a sorority girl Jcnow how
it feels to live in the same house with
thirty other girls from every sort of
family and of every type, between
whom there is no bond except that
they all are attending the University?
Does she know what it means to be
the only girl living with a family out
in the city?

committee was evidently to elect a
board more representative since girls
