Students voice objections,
agreements on fighting war
Eight oppose U.S. entering European conflict;
five ready to cross the Atlantic, fight Nazis
By Paul Svoboda.
With war and all its realities
conspicuous ' in Europe at the
present time, the question of
peace or war for the United
States hangs in a balance need
ing only slight pressure to decide
the fate of possibly millions of
Americans who are eligible for
war services. Of these millions, a
considerable portion consists of
youths of college age.
If they are chosen to fight it
neems logical that it should be
for them to decide why, whom,
what and where they would rise
up in arms against. After consult
ing a considerable number of stu
dents on the question of war the
result clearly shows that they
would not fight an aggressive
war, but unanimously opined that
if attacked they would fight and
fight hard.
UNDER THE PRESENT CIR
CUMSTANCES WOULD YOU
FIGHT IF THE UNITED
STATES DECLARED WAR ON
GERMANY TOMORROW?
CYRUS MILLER, ARTS AND
SCIENCE SOPHOMORE.
Definitely no! We've got enough
to clean up in our own back yard
without helping our neighbors
three thousand miles of ocean
away. Besides we wouldn't gain
anything and would lose plenty.
DON SCHULZ,
PRE-MED JUNIOR.
In the present situation I would
be reluctant to fight as we would
gain nothing, nor do we have any
specitic reason for armed aggres
sion against Germany. As yet we
have lost nothing since the war
began and it seems to me that
even if we do lose materially it
would not equal the cost of war,
HARRY D. RILEY,
BUS. AD. FRESHMAN.
Sure, I d go, that is, if I were
drafted. I don't think that I would
volunteer though. My main rea
son for going would be because
of patriotism to my country and
to the ideals of democracy.
HERBERT COOPER,
ARTS AND SCIENCE SOPH
Why not? I don't have a lot
else to do so I might as well get
into it now as later. We can only
die once anyway. After all, every
one knows that the French have
the best champagne and I want
some of it before it's all gone.
ELMER WAKE,
BUS. AD. FRESHMAN.
I wouldn't. War would place
greater economic burden on the
already too heavily laden public
Besides, according to my point of
view, war is a contradiction to
the law of civilization. We pride
ourselves on being a civilized

world. What is war but a throw
back to barbaric tactics?
PHIL ANWYL,
ARTS AND SCIENCE JUNIOR
I'd like it. I'm something of a
dare devil and am always looking
for thrills. It wouldn't be a bad
idea to rid the world of a few
dictators and the things for which
they stand. I would have joined
the Abraham Lincoln brigade in
Spain if I'd of had the chance.
BILL GIST, ARTS AND
science Freshman.
You bet. The United States
has always maintained a policy of
protecting its rights and ideals
and I feel that they have already
been infringed upon. I have no
grudge against the German peo
ple themselves but it would be
fun to see Farce practically for
nothing,
CLIFF MEIER, BUS. AD.
SOPHOMORE.
The only time I would fight
would be in defense of our rights.
There isn't any percentage in
fighting the German people un
less they attack us.
GERALD DAVIS, PRE LAW
JUNIOR.
We have no reason to fight.
None of our rights have been vio
lated nor have we been unjustly
attacked. However, I would fight
if the Allies had their backs to
the wall and it looked as if Ger
many would win.
STERLING MUTZ,
ENGINEERING FRESHMAN.
I am definitely opposed to an
aggressive war. War is but an
other name for barbarism which
we in our present day civilization
supposedly abhor. Anyway what
right do we have to get into it?
ORIN RUHLOW,
ENGINEERING FRESHMAN.
We might as well get this war
over in a hurry. I don t like Hit
ler personally, nor do I think
much of his idea of being a second
Napoleon. I think that we could
be his Waterloo.
CLARK CRESSY, BUS. AD.
FRESHMAN.
Europe is too far away for me
to go and fight. My father died
in the last war we got mixed up
in. We could gain nothing and
just think of the loss of lives and
property. I hope that if we do go
I will be excused from the draft.
KENNY WITSTRUCK,
PRE- MED JUNIOR.
I don't have anything against
the (Jermans. Why should I go
over there?
