The study of the college was undertaken in the first place at the Request of a number of stu dents and the permission of the fa culty which said that they would en courage and welcome such a report t We w ittnat j th gtn. te to work ont their 0WTI stndy of the college. Report Wu Discussed The thirty minute report of the student committee was followed by a general discussion during which faculty and students exchanged views regarding points in the report and the faculty commended the un dergraduates for their interest in the welfare of the college. It is expect ed that the student report will be printed and circulated for use by members o the faculty. Discussions regarding the Arts College were started early in the se mester by a number of students who tering conditions. Students repre senting almost all departments of in struction have taken part in the dis- . . . . - cussions, according to memDera oi the committee.

Mr. McKie is a senior in Law college and his home is in Omaha. Taking "Compulsory Military Training" as his subject Mr. McKie weighed the advantages of military training against the disadvantages. "There are two classes of people who oppose military training on the cam pus of the university of Nebraska", he declare, "those who do not be lieve in any type of military train ing and those who object to compul sory training in our educational institutions." "The first class is composed main ly of Pacifists. Pacifists refuse to countenance wars of any kind, be the case of that war what it may be," be continued. "They believe that the United States should refrain from any kind of military preparedness". Wars Always Will Be Carrying out the idea that military preparedness makes a country more liable to war than unpreparedness, the speaker attempted to prove that there will always be wars regardless of the state of readiness of the coun tries. Mr. McKie stated that in the past the United States has been con spicuous for her lack of prepared ness. Yet this has not prevented any of the great wars in which she has engaged. "But, the pacifists maintain as their second argument," he contin ued, "if the United States disarm, other nations will follow. Will they? Which nations?" asked the speaker. "The United States did dismantle its navy in 1785 but no other nations followed our lead and we were mighty for it in 1812." Other inci dents from the history of the United States were cited to prove that each nation is entirely wary of the others. This Country Not a Test In the opinion of Mr. McKie the Pacifists should take their theories to other countries where there is an opportunity to test them where there is actual war going on. If the argument was carried to Europe where there is a chance to improve the conditions by stopping the fight ing, it is the belief of the speaker that the theory would be ridiculed. "The removal of armament will not, in itself, prevent war," he af firmed. "If ever a nation was com pleted humbled in war, that nation was the Turkish Empire after the World War. Her army was demobil ized and scattered all over Western Asia. Yet within two years she has rallied her forces, made war on Greece, and issued ultimatums to the! rest of the world." i "War, or force, is a natural phen- j omenon, either among nations or in dividuals", Mr. McKie declared. "As long as the human being remains im perfect, there will be crimes commit ted, and quarrels and disputes will rise. If Pacificm is to be consis tent, it must be applied to individuals as well as to nations. Individuals, then must settle their quarrels ! must meet crime and similar situa tions with peaceful non-resistance. Experience has shown that indivi duals will not accept the complete doctrine of Pacifism". Leaga of Nations Discussed Discus? ing the League of nations as a possible preventitive of future war, the reluctance of the United States in entering was brought out by the speaker. Unless some effec tive way of settling disputes is iound there -will always be the possibility of war. Mr. McKie reviewed the (Continued on Page Three.)
