I'lato, in "The New Ucpublic," mentions
a similar plan. An individual's mental ability
ami status in life would be determined by the
degree of his education. Kaeh would fit his
niche and be content with that.
Viewed from a practical standpoint, the
plan is not feasible. In order 1o be demo
cratic, each and every individual would have
1o be given adequate financial support and
compelled to receive as high a degree of
learning as representative of his ability.
Human aspiral ions and emotions would have
to be controlled. It is doubtful that the
majority of people would have as iheir choice
Ihe highest intellects as their governing body.
Such tin education system would not be
practical in a democracy. Plato was unques

TO THE EDITOR:
.Vol Surprising.
Coincident with ihe prevalent war scare
in Kiiropc, eleven representative stmlenls on
the campus were recently asked what they
would lo if the Foiled States were drawn inlo
a foreign war. Willi alertness and decision
six declared that they would resist enlistment:
three would enlist to escape being called
"slacker"; and two unhesitatingly said thev
w oiibl join t he a rmy al once.
This one sided answer to Ihe question
naire' is not al all surprisiii'.'. Student opinion
on I he subject of war has changed quite sharp
ly during the last decade. Our stupidity in
eiilering the last war puzzles the student more
I ban anybody else, lis effects, as he sees now,
horrifies him. He docs not hesitate to say
that much of our present economic ills is di
rectly or indirectly al I riluil a ble lo that war.
It is thus apparent that Ihe enthusiasm which
the student showed when Ihe call lo arms
sounded in 1017 will never again occur. On
the contrary, there is felt a determination lo
lend deaf ears, even resist, should a call ling
again.
Here is a situation which our responsible
leaders might well give serious thought. Our
losses from the last war were tremendous. If
we have gained something, as some patriots
claim we have, the student does not know what
it is. He is thoi oly convinced I hat war is fu
tile and disastrous, and should he be compelled
to join an army in 1' e future war he will be a
most unw illing soldier. And we can never hope
to -win war with un willing: soldiers.

"CONVICTIONS"
BY
Kev. K. K. Hangelor
Lutheran Student 1'iiHtor
For T Am Determined"! Sometimes a few words will
give one an insight into Ihe secret of a great life. Men often
ask. "J low could Paul do such a great work in his waj' and
age"? His words in t 'orinl hians 2:2 give the secret. "I am
determined!" Kead it again for yourself. Paul had convictions,

In a person who has the courage
of his convictions.
Out of your convictions will
come the strength and stability
of your life. Scan the roHtcr of
centuries, name the great readers
of every age all men of convic
tion. Sometimes wrong, some
times right but withall, men of
conviction. Your convictions are
your foundations. Build well your
foundations.
A counsellor of students of many
years experience writes these
words. "Go to school with the
courage of your convictions. As
a freshman many things are new
and strange to you, but you take
with you values of which you need
not feel one bit ashamed or tin
certain. You possess Christian
faith. Christian ideals, Christian
habits of living. Use these price
less possessions. You will meet
students who may ridicule your
faith, your ideals and your morals.
You will meet students who will
respect your sincerity, envy your
faith and follow your example.
Stand up for what you know and
believe to be right. Do not allow
degrees, personality or eloquence
overawe you. Do not let a rowdy
wia you with his pep, or a good
sport fascinate you with her popu
larity. Choose as your friends
Christian men and women stu
dents and faculty. Pot your Chris
tian convictions into evciyclay
university living."
Read it again. "For I am determined"-
yes, and the rest of the
passage. And then face squarely
the question of convictions in your
own life. Not stubborness, nor
bullheadedness, but humble, hon
est and sincere convictions in the
sight of Ood and men. Your faith
and the spiritual realities of your
life must be expressed in terms of
your own convictions. As for self,
I am determined to know Him,
the strength of his life,
How refreshing it is to know
students in 1936 who have definite
convictions in their lives. Men and
women who can say "I am deter
mined." One of the really impor
tant pieces of equipment for the
great game of life is that quality
which we call conviction. To be
lieve some thing, to have a convic
tion in heart and mind is a real
necessity. "Windmill" students
face a different way with every
shifting breeze of thought. Students
who have convictions always face
one way when confronted by the
great problems and questions of
life, and like the massive stadium,
look upon the game of life with a
strength and stability that makes
for real manhood and womanhood.
How should we form our con
victions? Our own personal
wishes and desires dare not
father our convictions. It is my
own personal conviction that the
experience of men during the
past 19 centuries has demon
strated the greatness of the
teachings of Jesus Christ, and
his experience points to these
teachings of the lowly Nazarene
as the best foundation upon
which to base the important con
victions of one's life. God, life,
right, wrong, truth, prayer, mer
cy, love, goodwill, peace: These
are all words that give rise to
a conviction of some kind in the
hearts of men. And what the
Master Teacher has to say in
regard to these matters has
never been improved upon. And
never will. Hence upon the ten
ets of the Christian faith I build
my life and its convictions.
If you have definite convictions,
you will command the respect and
ihe confidence of others. 1 respect
the sincere convictions of others
even if different from mine. Con
victions begets confidence. I ftl-
