Taking Peace Seriously
For a Change.
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.

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.

those students who are interested
to sign the petition at the Daily
Nebraskan office, or send in their
