SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 10, 1935 VITAL MEETING Because the threat of war is a constant menace to this nation, and because college students would be so vitally effected if war should break out, the administration has given the students of the University a convocation in which peace is to be discussed. This convocation will not take the form of a strike against war. It will not depend upon a fanatical, emotional appeal for strength. It will be an orderly meeting in which the issues of war and peace will be considered. It will offer an opportunity for a united protest against war, and a united plea that peace be preserved. But what good can such a meeting do; what benefit effect can it possibly have? Students do not have to pay for it. Quite true. A peace convocation on this campus will not, in itself, prevent war. But if enough students on enough campuses express strong enough conventions in times of stress, something can be done. Certainly remaining quite, and doing nothing can not be called constructive effort. But more important, if you are a thinking college man or woman, the peace convocation can be looked upon only as a vital meeting that demands your attention. In fact the only way to meet any issue is by thought and an interchange of ideas. If you feel that war is an utterly useless thing that can be abolished from the earth, then you will undoubtedly support this meeting. If you feel that war is inevitable, you owe it to yourself to acquire as much information on the subject as possible; otherwise you cannot be sure that you are right. If you actually favor war, and some people must, or it would not exist, you should understand both sides of the question in order to make the subject clear to you. AIDS AND AWARDS The committee on Aids and Awards has been formed to take complete charge of the supervision of scholarships, loans, and student aids. The formation of this committee, with Mrs. Flora S. Boynton as executive secretary, was brought about by the necessity of having a central place for the information concerning the many scholarships, loans, and aids given yearly to many students. This information has been separated according to the many different committees and thus has been hard to gather when wanted, so the central committee was formed. Mr. Raymond Nichols, secretary to the Chancellor, said, "besides centrally coordinating the creation an act of economy, in money, time, and energy." In the previous set-up, there was a provision made for a central committee to be formed, but until now, Mr. Nichols said, "This was merely a paper committee. Now we will have a central place where all of the information may be centralized." A noted psychologist says men should never marry women who keep them waiting on street corners. Does the gentleman mean to say that men should never marry? —Kansas City Kansan. "FALSE GODS" A stimulating play, sympathetically and effectively produced! The department of speech and dramatic art deserves high commendation both for its choice of a play with so much "meat" in it and also for its skillful presentation of a difficult drama. I wonder, however, if Brieux was a victim of the cosmic pessimism with which he has dominate the play. Mieris alone, in a line or two of rather wristful longing, intends that there may be something vital and real in the "gods" after the "false" has been properly debunked. But her You have awakened my reason but killed my faith" sounds the note which characterizes the play's false antithesis between truth and fact on the one hand, and reasoned spiritual conviction on the other. The character of Satni vigorously portrays an altogether merited disillusioning of a false and infantile faith, but in its steed he offers—nothing. Yes, there is good ethics in his code, but no religion. In his climatic choice at the close of Act IV, he finds no higher alternative hope for human ills than the social opiate of a perpetrated "miracle." He fears to trust the power of truth. As Satni struggled before the appeals of those hideously needy human wrecks, and his human compassion finally overpowered him, there came to me those lines from Goold's "The Quest Divine," "Thinkest thou the human heart hath suffered . . . and never the heart of God? . . . Love never glowed in man, but 'twas of God." False Gods, splendid as far as it goes, hacks that positive note. The dramatist apparently fails to sense any positive, cosmic implications of the liberating truth which he would have Satini proclaim. The play does expose the tragic abuses permeated by pseudo-religion. Edwin F. Price. The Kansan presents the above letter especially to those students whose only comment on "False Gods" was, "Lousy," in the hope that it may provoke at least a slight amount of thought. "False Gods" was not a "lousy" play. Even though it did not appeal to certain people, no one who rightly classes himself as a student, could dismiss it with such a word. Three thousand University of California students recently found themselves in the embarrassing position of agreeing with Mr. Hearest when, at a recent football game, he sat in the Berkeley rooting section and cheered for the California Varsity. Our Contemporaries INTELLECTUAL LAZINESS Daily Trojan. Men in various positions of life have looked toward the American university as the source of a new and vital development in the cultural life of the nation, but they have turned away in disgust. "Why?" they ask, "does the man seem to be afraid to appear cultured?" The pose of the average undergraduate is that of the man on the street. The university man is meticulous in his manners and uses of the English language at certain times; in the main, however, he has become intellectually lazy and has sunk to mormonic classifications of "some fans," who are apparently more interested in something seduttive in attempting to speak grammatically. This jargon, employed by the supposedly best educated group does not possess the virtue or picturesqueness of the dialects employed in the fastness of the Ozarks and in the swamplands of Arkansas and Mississippi. Words used by the uneasy of our time include those of their daily life, while the words used by the undergraduate sink to appalling coarseness. By some peculiar method of inverted evolution, the modern vocabulary has retrograded to a point where affirmatives and negatives, as well as more complicated explanations, are expressed by a series of guttural sounds interspersed with a few words. The grammar of this dialect includes the idea that languages in his use of language. He may argue the slang he employed was born when nothing else could be found to express adequately what was occurring. That is true, but it is also true that a great proportion of the slang in use is cheap and abely. He would argue that the level of knowledge of a few words of proforma, of slang, and of gramps impairs the keenness of the mind much as the constant falling in the sun hammers the body. Undoubtedly, this common jargon leads to an intellectual laziness that finally blurs the sense of discrimination. It is not easy to turn from a blursed tone to a clear one, and a way is difficult for most people. Without keen minds, our culture may fall into a serious delirium.

TUMULT OF FROSHELECTION DIES ELIGIBILITY AXE CHOPS COUNCII Dazed Freshmen Breath Relieved Sighs and a Great Calm Seems to Have T settled Over Men's Council Well, by Hugh Hadley, 626. The tumult and the shooting have divided the audience of the election Phil Buzick emerges as head of the freshman class. The Pachymas did right well for themselves, capturing three of the four offices in the Indiana Senate. Prosecutor Pochamae, should work well in double harassment, however. By Hugh Hadley. c'36 Freshmen Relieved So many were the charges and counter-charges hurled by the opposing politicians, that many of the freshmen were slightly迟ed, and would have been more aggressive. Pachasamian sticker only to return strong. Independent, and vice versa terness seriously, even to the extent of invoking the majesty of the law to protect their honor. The campus looked every morning as if there had been no sun or night before with fidel and counter fidel scattered all over the ground. Several freshmen were heard to breathe sighs of relief now that it's all over, as they were given an extra swab or so every time they missed a Pachachemee meeting. And the Buzicker roster is said to read like a composite pledge list. The Pachachemee organization is sending students to campaign by allowing a number of those without the girls to be admitted to the inner council, at $5 a throw. Yell Leader Again Clyde Nichols' stock rose a few points in the Wednesday paper, then dropped back Thursday, only to surge on again Friday. This story is long and varied, and involves not a few political manipulations that Mr. Nichols had the inside track on the bead cheerleading position, but he didn't reckon on the Pacachame dislike for the Beta's. The Pep Committee divided, and George Guerrero swung the vote to Verl Ward. Now it appears that Ward didn’t work hard at the camp, and was met, and with sanctimonious solicitude handed the job to Nichols. The political complexion of the Men's council is due to undergo a great change, which should produce a preternatural calmness in council. The new governor had a slight majority after last year's elections, but with Delmar Cury actually voting as his conscience dictated, and with Ross Borders, Independent, also coming over to the PSGL yard this year. The PSGL had their way much of the time. Council Changes Before he could even spit on his hands, however, Lyman Field looked farther in the constitution and discovered that yell leaders elected to fill vacancies to be vowed for by the MSC wanted to have checked him graciously enough, but Vee Tucker, the arch agner of the MSC, wanted to have new tryouts. The council split almost exactly along parly lines, but kicked Nichols. Whereas the pop committee heabled a grateful for they have to do all the yelling in front of them. Now three Pacachamacs have lost their council membership in diverse ways. Ernest Casini is definitely out, and Professor Stratton's ability axe has Mr. Kuehnner's and Don McClyer's legions. P.S.C.L also fell via the eligibility route, but the lineup should definitely favor the followers of Lyman Field. It's a rum go for the Pacachamcs to see their supporters that east forth into outer darkness, and John Phillips very unhunny. The path of the PSGL's has been smoothed by the belated discovery that Keulner's place will remain vacant, according to an obscure provision in the book "Bee Invasion" which vacancies occurring in two year college memberships shall not be filled. Young Republicans Organize The PSGLs appear to have completely submerged their identity in an ambitious new undertaking, the Young Republican Club. Many students whose political affection for the club has been woven have seen the handwriting, and imagine they will cide into office, when their schooldays are over, on the coat talks of a certain kind. Kenneth Born, chairman of the World Affairs Forum committees, demonstrated that he could put on a mighty good show, by packing the house Tuesday night to hear Bruce Hillen Now Bob Thorp will endear us to duplicate that with a free speech forum soon to be announced. An ample supply of speakers and all moments are invited to get their disheasant off their chests. --- A Corner On Books By Wilma Soeken "Edna His Wife." An American Idyll, by Margaret Ayer Barnes.

L. Davis. Harper and Brothers, N.Y. Harper Prize Novel. This novel is truly American. It depicts the life of the pioneers in the Oregon homebound period of 1906-1938. The author planned to portray a man from every trade then practiced in the past, and he had estimated the greatness of the task. The history revealed of that rather forgotten part of our frontier lizard, the remarkable characterization of the horse and the picture descriptions of the hop-picking, the sheep-hearing, the wheth-ranching, and the horse-trading are the outstanding qualities that make this novel seem so much our own. This novel shows the horse as the hero, Clay Calvert. The romance between Clay and Luce, the horse-trade's daughter, is important structurally only.
