Business Manager Nieland Van Arsdale....Circulation Manager Richard F. Vette. .......... .Circulation Manager MILITARY TRAINING The question of compulsory mili tary training; in American universi ties seems to be settled, at least for a while. The election which was to have been held at the University of Missouri yesterday to decide that is sue was indefinitely postponed by the Student Council. Missouri was - the center of the movement to abol ish compulsory military training and the fact that it was dropped there will probably mean that it will be dropped elsewhere. The action of the Missouri Student Council followed the Board of Cur ators' statement that compulsory training would be continued at the University and a letter fron Presi dent Brooks asking that Council re consider the question. The situation at Missouri has caused considerable comment all over the country and the news that the question has been settled or at least dropped will cause a feeling of re-l lief to those who have seen the need of national defense and have been worried by the situation at Columbia. As a representative expression of the feeling about this section v re print the fallowing editorial from the November 16 issue of the Omaha Bee, run under the title, "Ready for Defense." "Curators of the University of Missouri have just voted to continue the R. 0. T. C. as a compulsory course. This may or may not answer the great drive that is now being made in Ohio to remove all forms of military training from the schools. Ultra-pacifists contend that the train ing at the schools is an incentive to war. Youth who have had the pre liminary instruction will yearn to put it into practice, and thus the germ of war is kept alive. From the urge will spring the actual combat There fore, the certain way to avoid war is to cease to give instruction in any part of the science of war.- "At a time when all are seeking to do away with even the possibility of war, this appeal to the unthink ing is potent It even has an effect on those who do not think. But, what real assurance has the world that war is to be forever done away with? In 150 years' the United States of America, born out of a great "war, has been five tim?s en gaged in major conflict. In not one instance did we seek war. Each time it was in defense of the land and for the cause of liberty. George Washington, out of the depths of ex perience that was bitter and hard to bear, admonished his countrymen that it is well to spend some time of peace in getting ready for defense. "Military training in the schools does not necessarily engender the spirit of militarism. It does afford proper and necessary instruction in discipline, self-control, orderly pro cedure. All these things are good to know. The reserve officers training corps is maintained under the nation al defense act Its purpose is ex pressed in its name. To train young men in colleges so that their services may be available if the cou itry needs them. Not to make great soldiers out of them. Just to fit them in part for the great duty that rests on every citizen, to take some part in the de fense of a common country should it be in danger. In 1913 nobody in our land thought we were in danger. Five years later we had 6,000,000 soldiers under arms, defending the country. That is why a little preparation may be regarded as not inadvisable." WORLD ISSUES The announcement that Raymond Fosdick, former tinder-secretary to the League of NaMons and brother have addressed Lincoln Audiences on . epe;ik to University students on the World Court is a reminder of the 4nct that a conscious program of di cunsions on the World Court h in proms., tliis fall Senator Hitch cock, Jane AdJams, and Kirby Page huvi oddrcsae dLincoln audiences on T'ne sufciLCt And now comes a man v. ho h:ii been connected with the ma ry of world organization who k.

' ' . t-j le studied by the people who vote and who are soon to vote. If a democracy is to determine its foreign policy, its people must be informed. Students are likely not to bo well informed on the World Court. Most of them are too young to take an active interest in the issue of six years ago when the matter was so confused with that of the League of Nations and the election of 1920. Likewise, the general public is not likely to be clear on the specific terms upon which the administration and public leaders are advocating the entrance into the Court at this time. Since the time for debate in the Sen ate has been set for December 17, it is necessary that an intelligent opinion be formed before that time.' The position of such speakers as have come to the University, and more so in the case of Mr. Fosdick, has been such that they have spoken with authority on the court and the bases for entrance now. Speaking as non-partisans, as careful observers of the workings of the court, and as thinkers with respect to its possibili ties for the future of world peace, these men form the most valuable sources of information available to students and citizens. If students consider it necessary to be informed on the relations of this country to others; they should welcome to the city and to the Uni versity such prominent men as Dr. Fosdick and should make a special effort to hear the facts he brings, his opinions, and his judgments as a man with a world view. The College Press What About Conversation? This is the age of loudspeakers. You spend your time standing on one foot listening to some ham tell how good he is, and what she said when I told her that, et cetra and even ad infinitum. That is the mod ern conception of entertaining con versation. We have plenty to say, of course we do. We are "some kidders." We are skilfull at it and a great many are better at baby talk than the babies themselves. But all this is superficial, a pretense, a bluff, more or less of a defense mechanism. We seldom talk of the things dear to our hearts. Compare this with the early days in England. The citizens gathered daily in the coffee shops for more than idle gossip. Not all could read even the meager news of the day, so some one read it aloud. Then came discussions of the current questions, literature, art, and what not. Is it lack of interest that has caused this-retrogression? Is it lack of ambition or lack of knowledge? Is it the change of educational meth ods? Theoretica'.ly they have ad vanced in reasoning, understanding and efficiency. Often attempts are made by different-groups of the present gener ation to foster the spirit of discus sion. Ihe series ox forums now be ing held, the women's forum, and several of the different Y. M. C. A. meetings are for;, this purpose. The results are discouraging except to the naturally optimistic few. Only a small minority of the students at tend. The others are too busy. A picture show, or maybe a dance, or an automobile ride there is no time to learn what the world is doing1 and what it means. The University Daily Kansan. Don't Be A Phonograph One of the greatest mercantile concerns of the United States, with a chain of stores stretch!.:? from coast to coast, will never hire a col lege graduate until he has been out of university for at least three years. The objection of the head of this concern to the college man is that he is not fitted to consider fn its own merits the varying problems that come up in business life. He is too self confident and set in his theories, theories that were given him to serve as a general guide and not as a solu tion to all the difficulties that turn up. The college man is too depend ent on his memory and not enough dependent on his imagination. This criticism is, to a very large extent, true. Our professors are continually urging us to use "ur own brains more and not take their opin ions as the truth, the .whole truth, and nothing but the truth, but appar ently the majority prefer to follow the line of least resistance and learn only what he is told; one cannot be plucked for believing what his pro fessors tell him. It is not only in our school work that we accept unthinkingly the views of others. We believe in the I same political policies our fathers j do, hold to the same religion and the j same prejudices, without finding our. own beliefs. We dress like every one else no matter how terrible th j j style may be, we use the same time- worn expressions and phrases iHiiniwumrar HniiiuinnmiimiifiiiutntinmiiiiinuiHHitmiiti'.itniiiHMiiiiiiiiiM You'll Find Them on Pages 7, 8 and 9 IN The Student Directory every one else uses, we have an in ordinate reverance for tradition. Yet we know in our hearts that it is only the men and women who step bravely out of the beaten paths and blaze a new trail whose names go ringing down the halls of fame. No great man in this world ever attained his high position by taking holus polus the ideas of others. Sameness is only evidence of our mental im prisonment. So let us decide to do our own thinking after this, to form our own opinions irrespective of those held by others. Let us break the bonds of mental laziness, cease being a phonograph record and become the recorder. McGill Daily.

Exchanges Sophomore discipline of the first- year men was re-established this year at Harvard University by a large ma jority vote of the freshman class. One of the novelties brought forth in this fall's football season is the presence on the Manhattan college eleven of a full-blooded Turkish prince, Kemal Hassen. Oregon Agricultural College boasts of a fifteen year old freshman woman who is not only carrying her studies at a high average, but is earning part of her college expenses on the out side. A miniature merry-go-round show ing the outstanding weaknesses in the internal organization of an unsuc cessful farm, is one of the exhibits at the Portland International Live stock Exposition this year. Eight songs in general use and four important cheers must be known by the freshmen of Columbia Univer sity before their examination at the hands of the sophomore class. The sophomores act as agents of the col lege as a whole and the affair is not considered an interclass scrap. Sorority girls at the University of Washington are demonstrating their culinary ability in a contest sponsor ed by a Seattle newspaper. After a cooking contest was held for Seattle gins in grammar scnooi, critics ar-im 1 tl u . uU ones who scorned the frying pan and measuring cup, and who were dance crazy.
