Once Again we say that what ever money there is available for physical education would be better spent in making available facilities for the voluntary participation of students in sports and recreations of their own choosing. The intra mural sports program is a g;ooi beginning-. It needs to be extended at the expense of compulsory physical education, and possibly at the expense of specialized and glotified athletics. If the type of presentations worked out for prom girls get much more spectacular, it looks as though only phys. ed. majors would be eligible. A formal dress is hardly the right type of cloth ing for performing such a feat as walking down a ladder frontward as this year's piom girl had to do. look like the only really effective means of doing anything about preventing war. This attitude is to be sincerely admired. Certainly it is a con sistent attitude for those who are opposed to war. It might be vig orousl y recommended to the statesmen of the world that some such consistency should be ob served. This idea of signing peace pacts and then building armaments ;.,.i.-;v.Mu- with the verv definite 1 IIIIV I I I i v ijl .... purpose of using them for war purposes, is becoming tiresome. Will Rogers explains the advan tages of the moratorium in a most facile manner. Now he say?, all you have to do when you see some one to whom you owe money is call out cheerily: "Happy mora torium to you. li.il s I he Hr Art in it Tutting Sincerity To the Test. npYVO latge student organizations 1 .1 Hit of American Philosophy.

(You heck lers who keep hissing and mutter ing: "How about prohibition and the bank holiday" can all leave the room.) Every phase of public ac tivity is under the eagle eye or me reductionists, the schools being right up there in the balling order.

SOME day the leading educatets in the country aie going to wake up to the fact that they have been victims of a super-delusion, namely that all students can be physically educated by herding them thiu classes in games, eer- , .-ic .larw irir sleCOinc. tC. ad I infinitum. When that realization comes there is going to be a lot j of head wagging over the amount j of money which has been foolishly j invested in equipment and mstruc- j tion in the half-baked methods of j making the future men and women j of the nation physical prodigies. j This physical education lervor j is a comparatively recent develop- j ment in educational circles. Stu- j dents in university now can ic- j member some of the fads whiih j were peipetrated when the idea of j putting gymnastics in -i hi c is was . tirst emerging. The real germ of the physical -iueaUon idea is perfectly correct, j Young people who are confined the larger part of each day in class rooms and libraries i?i need rec reation and physical activity. This is par tic nearly true of elementary i.n.1 hiph sohocl students. It is less true of university students. j ITT the lengths to which the idea has been developed has i given ri'e to, valid objections. For j one thing it is highly doubtful it there is any benefit to be derived fiom forced participation m physi cal education activities. This is j .utieularly true of university stu o.ijts, and less true of students in h gh seh'XuS and below. The odder has never t'ri toned in drape himself in Wy costumes jnd du an interpretive dance on the floor of the armory, but if he were a girl, or rather a woman, he v.' uld s' riously resent be-ir.g forced to go thru such odd antics. In fait he admits that he would re- nt oven donning th'j peculiar green costumes required for the phys. ed. courses, and then be com P ll.-d to participate in some form e.f g-ani'fs along with a crowd of the-r people, f,r go through me- hanieal oxer cis-s. or carry sand bars on his head to correct his p-istuie. This is decidedly not his ixa of sport, recreation, or even physical education. It seems reasonable that univer sity students are old enough to or (KT their own lives for their use in sports and recreation. Those who want physical education courses should be able to get them. Put the whole purpose of physical education seems to us to be de feated by trying to handle roohc of students in compulsory activities. at Oxford universities in Eccland. th mous Oxford union and the Man chester union, voted in a recent discussion by a large majority, that the members would "in no circumstances fight for its king and country." In other words, the students have come to the conclu sion that the only effective method ,-f riev.-rtir? war is to refuse to ! tight. I Conservative Englishmen, sons ' of ar istocrats, in one of the oldest ) and most conservative of English I universities: Imagine them declar- ing outright mat iney m uui fight in any war, no matter what the circumstances. No longer do they believe in a "war to end war." and a war "to make the world safe for democracy."

WE doubt if there is a univer sity in this country where as many students, 1 7T.0 at Oxford, 371 at Manchester I could be in duced to make this supposedly radical declaration. Imagine the consternation of a few of the R. O. T. C. officers if such a vc-te should result in some of their classes. Most people are likely to be re pelled by this absolute pacifistic stand. But in view of the fact that war, rumors of war, and vig orous preparations for war are continually going on. it be-gins to I got away with it then. why drag it out now."
