IT is, perhaps, rathei naive to adopt the attitude which the Brown university Daily Herald has taken, namely that war can be prevented if college students in this country will refuse to fight in another war. "Without the Amer ican college students as officers, here could be no organized army and consequently no war," says this college paper in an editorial. Taking their cue from the move rather rapidly in several English universites, where students have caused quite a furore by express ing their refusal to fight in case of another war, the Brown univer sity paper is sponsoring a nation wide drive in colleges and univer sities "against war and militaristic propaganda." Students in 145 col leges and universities are to be asked to sign a pledge which reads as follows: "We, the undersigned, ' pledge ourselves not to bear arms, except in case of invasion of the mainland of the Nnited States, and to work actively for the organiza tion of the world on a peace basis." ,Ve say it is rather naive to be 1'cve that war can be prevented by a group of college students who refuse to fight. We say this pri marily because we doubt if there are enough people at present who a.e willing to tak- this stand. TTUT we do not feel lhat taking " this stand is Quixotic or radi cal. In fact, with the rapid suc cession of failures in efforts to achieve disarmament and interna tional cooperation, it begins to look as though the only chance the foes of war will have is simply to i of use to fight. We believe that this refusal to fight is a logical fland for pacificts to take, and the Nebraskan is interested in know ing just how many students are willing to make such a declara tion. The Nebraskan, therefore, is f!ad to cooperate with the Brown Daily Herald in finding out how many students on this campus will indicate their pacifistic beliefs. As a rule we thnk the signing of pledges is an asinine performance, but as a means of determining the number of students who will de clare U-ir intention of refusing to fight we are going to use the pledge form w hich is being used by other college dailies In this move ment. On many campuses there will be a great deal of sentiment aroused on this question. The pledges will Xc circulated and wide publicity will be used in an endeavor to se cure a large number of signatures. The Nebraskan is planning to em ploy no such emotional campaign Ye are seeking,' merely) that stu- dents who are willing to declare their pacifism do so without being urged or worked up into a pacific tic fervor. IN brief then, the Nebraskan is asking all Nebraska students who are interested in this idea either to leave their names with the editor of the Daily Nebraskan in the basement of University hall, or else send him a slip by mail in dicating the desire of the sender to have his name affixed to the list of those taking the pacifist stand. During the next week or so, prior to making a report to I he Brown Daily Herald, we shall give ac count of the number of individuals who have signed the pledge. If any proof were lacking that the Filipinos are thoroughly civil ized and ready for self govern ment, it is now supplied. News papers in the country are now car rying the picture of "Miss Philip pine," judged as the most beauti ful maid of the islands, elected at the beauty show at Manilla. With such proof of the advanced stage of culture, why wait ten years to grant independence? Wisconsin university professors have the courage of their convic tions. Four of them have filed for offices in the Madison municipal government. All are listed on the socialist ticket. We wonder what would happen if Nebraska profes sors should file for public office as avowed socialists. Sixty percent of the students at Syracuse university do not date, according to a recently published survey. We'll bet there's a catch in it somewhere. They must call it something else. Students II 1 ill Respond To This Improvement. OERHAPS it is the idea of being excused from a couple of class es which will appeal particularly to students as they read of the new plan for holding the annual hon ors convocation during the morn ing rather than in the evening. this year. Previously, the convo cation has been held in the eve ning during the late spring season which is crowded with other ac tivities. The combination of these two factors has resulted in the fact that relatively few students have attended this annual event estab lished as sort of a climax to the year's activities along scholastic lines. Conflicting interests have apparently been decided by stu dents in favor of the other inter ests in preference to the honors convocation. Despite the fact that an honors convocation should be a significant event in university life, it is small wonder that students prefer to go to a social event or some other more entertaining affair. Such is human nature, and anyway the honors convocation has always been held just before Ivy Day when every extra-curricular inter est on the campus is unusually busy with activity. HPO sponsor the honois convoca tion during regular class time not only eliminates the possibility of conflicting activities but gives the convocation more prestige. It is more obviously an event worthy of recognition when it is deemed important enough to dismiss class es for its observance. Certainly if Ivy Day is consid ered of enough importance to merit a day's vacation from class es, an honors convocation, dedicat ed to the recognition of scholastic achievement, should be worthy of some such notice. The Nebraskan predicts that the sponsors of the honors convocation will be well re warded for the institution of the new plan by the greatly increased interest of the student body in gen eral in the affair. Whatever the reason may be why students pre fer to go to such an event during regular class time, it is logical to believe that the new arrangement will make the honors convocation mean .more as an event of all uni virsityl significance. : than it has meant before. DRAMATIC CLUB SETS SECOND TRYOUT DATE Youna Schedules Meet for Those Who Could Not Attend Last Week. Dramatic club tryouts, which were scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, of last week will be con tinued on Wednesday night of this wrok nocordinc to Lee Young1. president of the organization. "Be cause many siuuems wno wuura liked to have tried out last week were unable to do so because of other activities, the club has de cided to hold one more night of tryouts," he said. The decision came as the result of many requests received by members of the tryout committee. Young who as president of the club acts as chairman of the commit tee in charge, stated that any uni versity student is eligible to try out for membership into the group. Rules governing the tryouts re quire each candidate to present be fore the committee a short skit from memory of from three to five minutes duration. Judgment will be made on stage appearance, poise, presentation and general dramatic ability, he said. LOWER HOUSE PASSES ' DEPRESSION BUDGET' BY 82 TO 12 BALLOT (Continued from Page 1.) however. Finance Committee at Work. The Senate expects to take its time on the bill, as was indicated Friday when the finance commit tee of that body indicated that they would spend at least two weeks in preparing their recom mendations before it was intro duced on the floor of the Senate. Ueneral sentiment in the House Friday indicated that many mem bers were far from satisfied with the present measure. In express ing his opinion of the bill. Speaker O'Malley said that he thought "some appropriations were too high, and others inadequate." Rep resentative LaMonte Lundstrom, in explaining his "aye" vote on the measure said, "The provision for divorce from the North Central as sociation is assinine, and I hope that the Senate eliminates it." Of the twelve members who vot ed against the measure, eight were republicans and four democrats. The entire Lancaster delegation voted against the bill.

STUDENT PUBLICATION DIRECTS NATION-WIDE ACTION AGAINST WAR (Continued from Page 1.) crate to the extent of requesting those students who are interested to sign the petition at the Daily Nebraskan office, or send in their names, according to Editor Phil Brownell. The petition reads as follows: To the President and Congress of the United States: Whereas, we believe that war is futile and destructive and should be abandoned as an instrument of international action, and Whereas, we believe that it is the best interests of the United States and other nations that peace be maintained, and Whereas, we believe that peace can only be maintained by open A PLANET MARS Harold Jones Entertaining Wed., Frl., Sat.
