Sorry, But We Had to mention the Peace Strike . . . The Phi Delts Get a Meal — Maybe . . . The University of Flanders Field . . . and Hash.
Well, we had our peace strike and it seemed to be a pretty big success; not that we know what a successful peace strike would be exactly, but that's what it looked like anyway. The nicest thing about it all was that it was what we chose to turn up for; the one thing that calls is a "please strike", . . . meaning that those who were interested in peace and strikes went to hear the speakers and those who were interested in just plain striking went to Brick's and had a coke. It was successful any key you care to play in it so we just skip the whole thing except the moment on the business of shooting off a bunch of firecrackers during the demonstration. We were glad to see that happen because it is a well known fact
Heard of a good case of family conviving the other day—there was some kind of a contest or other at the recent Spring Fashion show etc. here in town and Catherine Penner was lucky enough to win a refrigerator that had been made of pop, and although we can't prove it, the case probably fits perfectly into the refrigerator, thereby making things look just a wee bit peculiar, . . . it's much more convenient winning things that way though—because of one you can use the other you
We don't know for sure how this turned out because if you get up very early on Sunday it hasn't happened yet but we'll give you what we know anyway. It seems that the two Pyle sisters were dinner guests at the Phi Polis dining hall and we were during the course of the dinner managed somehow to ask the entire chapter over to the Pi Phi house today for dinner. Now there comes the point of the story—the chapter accepted the invitation very graciously . . . but we don't think the girls know it. Sorry we can't play a play-by-play broadcast of the
Rex Wools tells us that when he gaze upon the campus of the "University of Flanders Field" Friday morning he thought that the building and grounds people, or whoser it is that does those things, had really entered into the shrubbery planting program with zest and all those white crosses marked the spots where the new ones were to be planted.
Hash: Saw a couple of the fair ones running—or tripping—down the outer steps of Fraser the other day, singing "The Stars and Stripes Forever" as loud as they could. The hour was 10:30 and they caused as many heads to turn and stare as they'd planned on probably. . . in all we thought the high school music contest was taking place when Katherine Dunkel is really broke (not bad English) just means that she's temporarily out of pocket). . . the other day down at Wiedenmann's her date placed four pennies on the other side of the booth and told the Dunkel they were hers if she'd craw under the table after them—well, she had the pennies. . . The Theta'ta tried their freshmen to go to the concession Friday and brim with their tickets that they'd gone. Someone told Marierie Wahl that they had to have the programs autographers also so she returned with "E. H. Lindey" on hers. . . some of the masters asters that she wrote it herself though

Peaceable Strike Held on Campus Friday Morning
About 700 students attended the peaceable strike against war held first Friday morning on the grounds in front of Fowler shops.
Field, Born, and Hackler Give Speeches During Protest Against
The only rift in the entire program was when somebody set off a few fire-crackers.
Otis Brubaker acted as chairman and introduced the three students who made speeches during the program.
Lyman Field, c. 36, the first speaker, outlined the policies of the committee and explained the purposes of the strike. "This group," said Field, "has a two-fold purpose: to protest against war, and to bring attention to the need for Communists. We must take a unified stand as students against this thing called war."
Field said that the meeting here was to unify the men and women of Kansas in an earnest effort to preserve peace.
Kenneth Born, c36, called the attention of his audience to the fact that the 300 billion dollars spent in the world war could have been used to give scholarships, and to do other things that would make for an uplift of society.
Born said that something more than national honor was involved in these battles, and that one of those things was the loss of lives out of wars by certain classes of people.
With the statements that "War is a man-made thing," and "We can control it if we will." Mr. Burn asked the question, "What remedy is to be suggested?" Asking, "Can radicalism help us?" he answered himself negatively. He said that pacifism and legislative means would fail. He called the attention of the audience of the failure of the peace conference of 1852 to give to the world anything worth while as a solution to the problem.
In ending Mr. Born asked, "What is the solution of the problem?" He answered saying that "The solution lies in the rational consideration of the problem."
Charles Hacker, 138, the final speaker, stressed the importance of demonstrations. He expressed the idea that American students generally feel that they want peace but do not do enough to show it. He said that the parading and maneuvering of the R.O.T.C. was propaganda for war, at least to the men involved in their interests, munitions manufacturers, and others are putting out war propaganda which must be offset by peace demonstrations, he said.
Students to Give Concert

The late Chancellor F. H. Snow was one of the men responsible for the collection.

West, one of the pioneer collectors in Kansas.

Glenn Is Selected Honor Man of 1934 By Faculty Group
Lane to Address Oklahoma Group
Dr. H. J. Lah, professor of zoology,
is to give the annual Phi Beta Kappa
address at Oklahoma University May 3.
The occasion is the 20th anniversary of
the founding of that organization there.
Famous Miler Unanimously Chosen by Committee; Announced at Convocation
Glen Cunningham, world famous miler and a graduate of the School of Education, was named "Honor Man of the honors conference Friday morning."
Character Severely Challenged
Glenn was a member of Schem, senior men's honor society, and was the student representative on the Athletic Board. Dr. Lindley pointed out that it was worthy of note that he was almost entire and supported while at the University.
"The committee report further stated, "He retained his character after being subjected to the most seductive forms of hero worship. Perhaps his achievements are best explained in the light of words, "to like a race for the race itself."
Chancellor E. H. Lindley in making the award said that the committee voted unanimously to give the award to Cunningham, who, in their estimation, exemplified best the qualifications of the award which are character, scholarship, breadth of interests, unselfish service, and leadership.
Those senior students who constitute the highest 10 per cent in scholarship in their respective schools were also honored as the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen who lead in their classes. These students occupied a position of prominence in a reserved section of the Auditrium.
Problem Equitable Distribution
Following the conferring of honors,
Dr. Wallace B. Fleming, president of
Baker University, addressed the
student body. He said:
"The major problem of yesterday was production: today it is that of equitable distribution. It is difficult to realize that wise men seriously debated whether Mother Earth could sustain all her children. Great emphasis was placed on the importance of adding to the world's food supply, as well as things necessary for human happiness."
He went on to say that the task of the new era is to solve the problem of equitable distribution and the proper use of the good things in life. He also added that the problems of social security such as age, health and old age, were clamoring for solution.
"The solution of the problem of production required the labor of the world's best brials for 50 years. If your generation can solve the social problems now confronting the world in an equal era, you will have done well."
Professor Fleming turned to problems raised by political conditions in Japan, in Russia, in Germany, and in the United States. Although the condition is scarce more rational.
"We repeal the Eighteenth amendment and are asked to drink ourselves to sobriety. We pour out billions of dollars in an effort to squander ourselves to prosperity. At the very time we have surpluses of wheat, we have food riots. Then we began to pay people for not raising wheat.
"In plain words, we are in the midst of the confusion of a world depression at a time when suspicion, and prejudice and an exaggerated spirit of nationalism are prevalent. When the normal flow of life is thwarted and hindered, the people become restless, and are ready to listen to any idealist or demagogue, however wild his panaceas for relief may be."
Dr. Fleming warned the students of the demagogue and suggested that they look for the splendid lives of life-bearers in the world's savastan. In closing, he said:
"Beneath the world's unrest, if we look deeply, we shall see that in every nation there is a great struggle for the enriching of the life of the common man. This is true in our own nation quite as mult. as in these other nations."
STUDENTS TO DISCUSS STRIKe
AT UNITARIAN CHURCH TODAY
"Sidleights on the Student Peace Strikes" will be the topic of discussion by John Pierce, c38, and Joseph Dobson at the United Christian寺 10 a.m. today.
