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. J. Thompson, dean
of student affairs, who announced
a special instructional meeting for
all newly enlisted men today at
4 p. m. in Temple.
Attendance is voluntary, but it
is suggested that those who have
received their call, and others in
terested, attend. Dean Thompson,
Col. J. P. Murphy, PMS&T and
members of the military depart
ment will discuss matters of im
(SEE ERC, Page 4.)
DuftTo Early Call . . .
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.

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. '
