Release Additional ERC Names Call 171 Students; Meet Today at 4 Bringing the total number of university men called to active service in the enlisted reserve corps to 315, a final list of 171 members of the ERC was released today by T.

Cancel ERC Dance Since members of the ERC are being called with greater rapidity than was anticipated, Innocents' society and the war council found it advisable to cancel plans for the ERC "going-away" party and dance originally scheduled for Wednesday, March 17. According to Dean Thompson, the last of the list will receive their orders today when the last names are announced. Most of these men will leave the univer sity before the date set for the dance. It is impossible to obtain the services of an orchestra for this weekend, and a Monday night dance would interfere with or ganized house meetings. "So in stead of another all-university ceremony, ERC men will be given the individual good luck wishes, concluded Bill Thornberg, pres ident of the Innocents when he an nounced the canceling of the dance plans. 9 1 tv in the nlanning f greai pmiusupiiy in amuiam emu 6- - - of peace after World War II was porscribed by Nebraska s great statesman, former Senator George W. Norris, today as he spoke iat a univesity convocation honoring some 340 UN students who are being called to active duty as members of the Enlisted Reserve Corps. "We must purify our hearts and purify our souls Jor a just peace," said the venerable Norris as he spoke directly to the Mtu students. "I we do, then we will be worthy, my soldier friends, oi that peace which you have won." Meet Enemies Equally.' Norris explained that a peace which is perpetual should be the aim of the allied nations. "In making the peace plans, we must meet our enemies on an equal level. We must forget revenge and expunge hatred from our hearts. At the peace table, we must nave an attitude of fraternal feelings to all peoples of the earth. As he mounted the speaker's platform in the coliseum with tears in his eyes, he said in an emotion voice that when people wanted anything done and accomplished in a hurry they "lied upon the younger generation to do it. He applied the remark both to the war and to the hurried-up efforts of campus student leaders to organize the convocation in a few hours. The entire student body and faculty and towns people crowded the coliseum to pay respects to the fcu students and to Senator Norris. Preceding Norris's address, Chancellor C. S. Boucher spoke briefly, praising the co-operation of the student body a the unaver sity. To the enlisted men. who are to leave soon, he said, rnis is a sad, yet glorious occasion. This wax is beng fought to protect .a form of life that is worth living. God bless you on your mission." Presiding over the convocation was Pat Chamberlin, president of the War Council. Col. James P. Murphy, commandant of the university ROTC, also spoke. Idealistic Peace. Speaking further of peace plans, Norris spoke of an idealistic peace "not for ourselves alone, nor for our enemies alone, but for the hundreds of millions of our children and our enemies' children who are yet unborn." Our enemies' unborn children as well as our own unborn children,, are innocent of this war which he termed a "crime against civilization itself." Most opposition for an ideal peace will come from persons right here within the United States, said the former senator. On disarma ment plans, Norris said that our enemies must be subjected to an unconditional disarmament. In time, allied nations will have to disarm gradually. Norris cited as unpatriotic those who do hinder, either by action or speech, the war effort. Crying for allegiance and whole-hearted support of President Roosevelt and our other leaders, Norris said that "As far as I am able to see, and under God I have tried to see through conditions, I think that the president and those under him have done a magnificent job." The convocation was the first ceremony that has been held by the student body at the university for students who have departed for active duty. Prior to the convocation, a rally to the coliseum was headed by the ROTC military band. ' t - " ' j . s)j 1 , : 2L Courtesy Lincoln JournU GEORGE W. NORRIS.
