Medical fee
raised; music
charges cut
Cost of health service
now $2 while piano,
voice lessons V3-V2 less
Various fee adjustments have
been made this year with medical
fees for students Increased to two
dollars to cover the cost of service,
and practical music fees cut and
equalized.
Medical fees, once before two
dollars, were cut in 1937 to one
dollar. The service was operated
partly on the surplus that had
accumulated under the two dollar
fee. The fees have been raised to
two dollars again this year, as the
accumulated surplus has been
used.
In the school of music, the fees
for practical piano lessons under
Mr. Schmidt, Mr. Harrison and
Miss Klinbers have been cut ap
proximately one-third. Fees for
voice lessons, under Miss Wagner,
have been cut one-half.
Flaming editorial in 1914
Daily decries militarists
Twenty-five years ago today In
a flaming editorial appearing in
the DAILY, C. A. Sorenson, pres
ent attorney general and recent
candidate for chief justice of the
state supreme court, placed the
blame for the 1914 war on a class
of military men, zealous for glory.
Today as the world faces its
second great war, newspapers in
equally flaming editorials, imply
ing "War is Hell," mourn the fate
of that same class of military
men. They call it a crime to send
young men to horror and death in
defense of the questionable in
terests of war profiteers.
Today it is the inefficiency of
diplomats and the money lust of
the DuPonts and J. P. Morgans
at whose door the press lays
the blame for the blood of Poland
and now of France. Tales of laugh
ing soldiers marching thru the
fields of southern France singing
"La Marseillaise" and the glory of
a professional soldier is now
branded as war propaganda.
The 1914 editorial appearing In
this paper typifies an entirely
different attitude than tiie one
found on the campus today. Sor

If all the raspberry ice consumed
at university teas, receptions and
sundry other get-togethers in the

Records show that campus or

for their various affairs.

"The military system is to blame
for the present war," is the popu
lar comment, and it comes near
being the truth. The life of the
military caste in a time of pro
found peace is nigh near tragic.
They are denied the opportunity
to make practical use of their
training and knowledge. Strong
men in such cases feel themselves,
and are, in the position of poten
tial lawyers, who are restrained
from using their talents in court.
Soldiers naturally, though perhaps
unconsciously, long for an oppor
tunity to win glory along the line
of their chosen work.
"When peace lasts very long the
soldier class shrinks in importance.
If peace lasts too long, military
work becomes a poorly paid and
despised profession. Even today
the only real admirer of the pro
fessional soldier Is the vain girl
who craves a uniformed beau. It
Is not strange, therefore that the
military class for the sake of the
dignity of their profession are will
ing to. go to war on a very slight
pretext."
Thus time changes all.

Gray lists 3
British aims
English may want end
of militaristic spirit
Stating what he termed "per
sonal views," Prof. G. W. Gray
discussed the question, "Should
England Make Peace Now?" for
the second in a series of war for
ums being sponsored by the Union,
the college of arts and sciences
and the Student Council.
Three possible terminations of
the present war in Europe were
foreseen by Professor Gray,
namely: The defeat of the allies
and the destruction of the English
will to resist; a negotiated peace
made before the war progresses
further; the destruction of Ger
man forces together with destruc
tion of the German will to resist.
Seated Informally on the speak
er's table, Professor Gray first
evaluated England's objectives in
carrying on the present European
conflict.
British objectives, three In num
ber according to Gray, are: The
destruction of Hitlerism; the re
moval (t the fear of perpetual
German aggression; and the ful
fillment of England's pledged word
