American youth ...
Tells European belligerents
to expect no help from US
By Hubert Odgen.
Young people of the United
States want no "M-Day."
An estimated one million stu
dents, the people who would fight
and die if we fought another war,
flatly told warring nations last
Friday in a nation-wide peace ac
tion that the United States isn't
coming to help them.
Reaffirming this stand for peace
of the young people of America
were the results of polls taken dur
ing last week. Opposed to partici
pation in any war were 88 percent
of 1,500 students at Columbia.Uni
versity. About 5 percent more
were undecided. RaUcliffe college
voted 97 percent against fighting.
Imperialistic conflict.
The present European war was
denounced at -several of the schools
as being an Imperialist conflict.
Peace meetings were marked by
a strong feeling for neutrality in
the present conflict and severely
criticized any direct or indirect
attempts to impair this country's
neutrality by showing any sort of
partiality toward either side.
United State's youth are de
termined that "they shall live and
not die for democracy" as is indi
cated by reports that the peace
activity, interest in which is in
creased this year by the war, was
the largest in numbers and great
est in effect of any seen before.
Great energy, enthusiasm.
Schools and sections of the
country, which have never before
eeen such demonstrations, took
part this year, showing great
energy and enthusiasm.
On more than 500 campuses,
Friday's action was based on the
program of the United Student
Peace committee, which stands for
no war loans, no planes, no men
to any European belligerents,
sanity for America's future, no
'headline' mentality, and study for
the truth.
The Program includes that there
nhall be no M-Day (mobilization
day). No militarization of CCC
and NYA. No censorship. Optional
ROTC with no extension.
Ask increased appropriation.
Also included and asked for on
the program are increased. NYA
appropriations with no cuts in so
cial service for increased arma
ments. Passage of the American
Youth act. Maintenance of racial
religious and political minority
rights. Academic freedom for stu
dents and staff. No bans and no
expulsions for belief. Extended ed
ucational budgets, and student re
lief. Non-military and non-parti
nan support of the Far Eastern
Student Service fund and the Eu
ropean fund. No second Versailles
and no agreement with Japan at
the expense of China.
University of Michigan students
adopted the slogan "The Yanks
Are Not Coming" and gathered to
hear Senator Gerald Nye speak
about the war hysteria drive and
attempted civil liberties suppres
sions.
25,000 gather.
Over 25,000 gathered for the
cause of peace in New York City
under United Student Feace com
mittee sponsorship with student
councils beine local leaders in
many cases.
Students at Chicago university
placed 200 white crosses along the
walks bearing "Will your name be
here?"
Tills student plea for peace went
to schools all over the country,
with many colleges participating
for the first time. Among the new
comers were Colorado University,
Oklahoma University, Mlddlehury
College, Vt, and Louisiana Tech.
Mural-bah! says
observer who has
uniforms at heart
Sans Tassels, sans Cobs, sans
N" sweaters, sans ROTC uni
forms, sans lots of stuff, the mural
goes glibly and blindly on.
The mural being painted in the
east end of the Union lounge is
the guilty object. We won't men
tion who is painting it . . . besides
we don't know, and are too lazy
to try and find out.)
Where in all the square feet of
oil covered surface is an "N"
sweater a depiction of one of
these muscle-men where is one?
There is none.
Is there a drill suit, one of those
lovely creations done in that too,
too lovely shade of olive drab . . .
that outfit that is near and dear
to the hearts of every basic stu
dent, anywhere on the canvas?
There is none.
Is there a Tassel or a Cob?
Is there a representation of either
of these campus organizations,
these benefactors to the pepping
up of campus affairs, anywhere
anywhere in this painted pano
rama of student life in the Union.
There is none.
Yes, sans all these things the
mural goes on. Purporting to pre
sent a picturization of student lifo
but without accurate picturiza
tion of student life.

Sinclair knows
his 'Honest Abe'
says reviewer
In this book lies the story of
Abraham Lincoln back home as a
rising politician, crammed to the
brim with anecdotes which make
a human being of Lincoln without
destroying the pedestal upon
which the American people have
placed the image of "Honest
Abe."
Sinclair, writing: to noDularize
the history of the frontier era,
tells the story of Everton in Dane
county, Illinois, from 1928 to 1861.
It is not a pretty story nor is it
a bitter one, rather it is a story
of the people. A people beset by
Indian wars, by the advent of the
Mexican war, and by agitation
over the slavery question a peo
ple who faced the future unafraid
because one could not fear the
imponderable a people becoming
Attached to their place in the sun
a people who by sheer fortitude
created of the prairie lands a place
to live, a place for men to live.
You meet Jesse Fell, Abe Lincoln,
Steve Douglas, the town's doctors,
its storekeepers. These are the
people who really lived, and the
tale is so well written that Jesse
Fell becomes the boy and man
to whom you have been neighbor
for forty years.
BEVERLY FINKLE.
