Drill Question
Makes Advances
(Contrnuea from Page One.)
the same as those presented by the
Board of Regents. It is to be noted
that the officers in support of mili
tary training spoke only for them
selves. They were not representing
any agency or organization.
Public Debt To be Prepared
It is the belief of these officers
that it is a debt to the public to be
prepared. Besides this, there are na
tional obligations to be met, the
agreements of the National Defense
Act, the sources of opposition to be
considered, and the question of
whether or not the report of the op
position is just.
The New State, published in Lin
coln, states its editorial policy: "A.
nonpartisan, independent newspaper
devoted to the common good." In
submitting the question to its read
ers in the form of an initiative peti
tion the paper says:
"As the situation now is at the
University, a boy cannot be graduat
ed unless he first takes at least two
years of military training. There is
no sense in connecting military train
ing with education. A man ought to !
be allowed to take military training if I
he wants to, but it should not be
forced on him in times of peace. A
man can be educated without having
learned how to jab a bayonet into
some other person's throat. There
is no excuse for compulsory military
training at the University, and the
compulsory feature should be abol
ished. We ask our readers to read
the article on this subject in this is
sue." Soreasoa'a Article
The article, written by Sorenson,
follows:
"Since the Declaration of Inde
pendence it has been a symbol of
American liberty that in time of
peace no young man may be con
scripted against his will.
"But what about the boys in the
land grant colleges, like the Univer
sity of Nebraska? This sacred free
dom from compulsory military serv
ice is suspended as to them. A boy
may not graduate from the Univer
sity, supported by the taxes of the
people of the state, unless he can
show proficiency in the art of killing.
He may not know bow to spell or
punctuate correctly but be must
know bow to use a bayonet. If our
country is in so grave danger of in
vasion as to' justify conscription of
the student? why not have compul
sory military training of all young
men? Why discriminate against the
few who seek an education? If we
are to have war it is not logical to
feed first to the cannon those train
ed for leadership. That is waste of
the money spent for their training,
and biological insanity.
"The Morrill Art of Congress un
der which the University receives
federal funds requires that the sub
ject of military tactics be a part of
the curriculum but not that military
drill be compulsory. The Univer
sity of Wisconsin has abolished com
pulsory military drill but still re
ceives money under the Morrill Act
So far as the law is concerned the
Board of Regents has authority to
make drill optional
Military Training- Elective
"In these colleges and universities
military training is elective: Baylor,
Dallas, Texas; Boston University,
(College cf Liberal Arts) ; Denison,
Granville, O.; Harvard; John Hop
kins; Leland Stanford, Jr.; North

"In the R. O. T. C. Manual, senior
year, used in the Military Depart
ment of the University, you find
throughout sneering remarks about
the world peace movement. It is
solemnly stated that the old Euro
pean balance of power plan is the
only workable method of preserving
world peace. On pages 4 and 195 the
author declares that force as repre
sented by large armies and big navies
is the only way to protect our coun
try and that the movement to substi
tute good will and negotiation for
war as a means of settling disputes is
the idle prattle of pacifists.
Abolition of War
"All honor to the American sol
diers and war heroes of the past
They served their country. But
some day there will arise men and
women who by their courage to break
with tradition and by their faith in
moral values will bring about the
abolition of war. They too will serve
their country. But they will not be
military-minded; they will succeed
because of a new and fresh approach
to the problem. Those boys whose
plastic minds have been shaped by
militaristic propaganda are barred at
the outset from aspiring to thus lead.
Who knows but that the psychology
of and the teaching that goes with
compulsory military service is under
mining the faith of youths who
might otherwise become world peace
leaders. Is there a greater education
al crime than to tax the people to un
fit their sons for that leadership?"
Initiative Petition
The object of the initiative peti
tion is given as being "To abolish
compulsory military training and to
make the same optional in the Uni
versity of Nebraska. The petition
as printed in The New State is word
ed as follows:
"We, the undersigned, legal vot
ers of the State of Nebraska, and
the County of. , being sev
erally qualified to sign this petition,
respectfully demand that the follow
ing proposed measure shall be sub
mitted to the voters of the state of
Nebraska for their approval or re
jection at the regular general elec
tion to be held on the second day of
November, 1926."
The proposed measure reads, "Mil
itary drill and instruction in military
tactics shall not be a prerequisite for
graduation from the University of
Nebraska. .Courses in military train
ing shall be maintained but shall be
elective only, and the taking of such
courses shall be optional with each
student"
Full Instructions
The publication also contains full
instructions to circulators of the peti
tions and explains that all legal vot
ers may sign the petition, but that the
circulator may only secure the sig
natures of voters residing in his
county. The number of signatures
which is needed is given as seven per
cent of all the voters of the state or
approximately 35,000.
The article which is contributed by
the Rev. Charles M. Shepherd fol
lows:
"Allow me to express my high ap
preciation of the illuminating state
ments of recent date, by Chancellor
Avery and Regent John B. Webster,
and also the appeal from the Board
of Regents, on "Compulsory military
