Attend Peace
Meet at 3
Dismissal of classes between 3
and 5 p. m. today will enable
every student of the university to
attend the first committee meet
ings of the experimental peace
conference, the conference plan
ning committee stated today.
Since the first meetings of every
committee will be important in
determining policies and future
meetings, the committee empha
sized the importance of each stu
dent's attending the meeting of
the committee in whi'rh he is in
terested. Give Resume
Committee chairmen, vice chair
men, speaking delegates, pressure
groups and axis representatives
when asked, will give a brief re
sume of the demands of each
country, but student attendance at
committee sessions is especially
desirable, according to the com
mittee. Faculty advisors will be
present at committee meetings to
give advice and information if
needed, but they will have no
vote or voice in committee pro
ceedings. At the first meeting and the
other three scheduled meetings in
February, the conference commit
tees will draw up resolutions
stating the position taken on the
problem the committee discusses.
In order that students become
better acquainted with these prob
lems and to have a better idea for
further research work, the com
mittee suggests that students sit in
on the committee meetings.
