'U.S. Must Wage Peace If
Ever to Stop Waging. War9
. . . Prof. Vedeler Declares
Declaring that peace is a dy
namic, continuing concern, Prof.
Harold C. Vedeler of the history
department, told an audience that
filled the Union ballroom yester
day afternoon that "we must wage
peace, if we are ever going to stop
waging war."
Speaking in the fourth of a ser
ies of lectures on "America and
World War II", sponsored by the
university Prof. Vedeler discussed
the Treaty of Versailles as a cause
for the second World war and the
lessons that the treaty teaches to
those who will make the next
peace.
We have learned, according to
the speaker, that peace should be
built slowly over a number of
years, that Germany must be dis
armed, tho not dismembered, and
kept disarmed over a long period,
that she must be re-educated and
surrounded by strong political and
economic entitities, that Anglo
American solidarity must be ac
complished, and that a complex
international organization must be
established.

Union First

Begin Today
The long-awaited Red Cross

rived! First aid classes are to

ginning today with the scheduled
Tuesday session from 4 to 6 p. m,
in room 313 of the Union.
All students who registered
previously for a class will be noti
fied as to their section and the
time it will meet. The Tuesday

tration, but there is still limited

days from 4 to 6.

Frank Measersmith, manager of
the 12th annual Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben
show, announced that the follow
ing committee chairmen have been
appointed: Horses, Ickes; Sheep,
Ervin; Beef Cattle, Fausch; Hogs,
Bacon; Dairy Cattle, Paulson;
Programs and Tickets, Grosse
rode; Special Features, Clark:
Publicity, Pratt; Reception, Sahs;
Clothes and Cards, - Heerman;
Building and Arena, Ward; and
Decorations, Smith, Goodding, and
Voight.
The animals have all been drawn
by the contestants and they are
being given the treat of their
lives, for each day they are being
groomed and handled by the fel
lows who expect to show them on
the evening of March 21. This
grooming requires much time and
careful handling, because if an
animal ia not "broken" to lead,
stand, and obey his holder, the
holder is often caused much em
barrassment when at the critical
moment the animal gets the rather
"silly" idea that it would rather
be running around than standing
steady.
This catastrophe means not only
embarrassment to the holder but
probably means also that he will
not be one of the lucky fellows
who is standing in line when the
judge begins to present the win
ning contestants with a beautiful
Botany tie. All in all, the pre
sentation of the Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben
show means work for all those
concerned.
The 'big Ball which is also an
attraction of the Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben
will be held in the Activities build
ing March 20. Copying the idea
of the Innocents Society, the com
mittee has decided not announce
the Band until a later date.
