SUNDAY, MARCH 24, 1935 A PEACE STRIKE, —FOOL'S GESTURE On April 12 the student bodies of many Universities are to be amused when a few fanatics parade the campuses with banners and sandwich signs saying, "Down With War." Long-winded orators will mount the steps of campus buildings and hurl defiance at militarism. There will probably be fist fights, just by way of demonstrating sincerity. There is a rumor abroad that our own campus will see such a strike. We hope there is no substance to this rumor. It would be too disappointing. The childishness of mass meetings and protest marches, strikes, and other meaningless measures is most unbecoming to a college student. The pacifists could only harm their cause by lowering themselves to such a demonstration. Evidence of hysteria of this sort is the very thing that makes war possible. The students who intend to strike could do more for their ideal by staying in classes in an attempt to learn the psychology of thought and reason, and not go out wearing out shoe leather and lung power in a demonstration that would only hold them up to ridicule. War is a horrid thing. No doubt about it. No one wants it. But how peace strikes on campuses, led by a few altruistic radicals who cannot see the forest for the trees, can be of any value in stopping armed conflict is more than we can see. Our advice to anyone who plans to take part in such a demonstration is to forget about it. IMPERIALISM REBUILT "My health is good. I lost no one of any importance. I put my losses at 3,000 killed and wounded." A few days ago this letter was published for the first time. It was a letter written by Napoleon to his wife, Empress Marie Louise, after the battle of Bautzen on May 20, 1813. It is easily evident in this portion of the letter that Napoleon cared very little for his men as human beings. To him they were so many men in his sense of chess. Now, 121 years later, the same state of affairs exists. Cuba is in a state of war. The Chinese can not agree with other countries, and France, Italy, and Russia are joining against Germany. Are men going to be sacrificed in lots of 3,000 as they were in Napoleon's time? Dictators are again at their game of chess, and apparently men will be sacrificed not as human beings but as so many pawns. Their loss will be regretted by the dictators not in terms of human lives but as manpower. Modern dietatorships do not build individuals but nations. American youth can well beware of governments that suppress individual rights and gamble young men's lives against a chance at the king row. A STRONG WEAK POINT Since Germany's announcement of intention of creation of a consecnt army last week, all of the major European powers have been sending notes of objection both to the Nazi government and the League of Nations. A policy of this sort is only consistent with that which has been followed by diplomats since the beginning of foreign relations, but it is indicative of the slender thread by which the imperialistic nations are held in check. If a ticklish situation arises, the nations of the world send their feeble objections to the offending nation and little more is said regarding the incident. The Japanese situation in Manchuko is a concrete example of the effectiveness of this diplomatic policy. What, we are asked, is to be done other than submit our objections to the power which has designs on the territory of another nation? There is only one sane, logical answer to this query. To educate the peoples of the various nations by means of a well planned program, that the intense nationalism so prevalent today will be dispelled from the minds of the populace. This is not impossible of accomplishment, and when done will obviate the necessity of "protest" notes. We Polish Apples Editor's note: The Kanas will present in this column thumbnail sketches of the members of the faculty. Professor F. L. Desorn Professor F. L. Brown Professor Brown has the distinction of being an exceedingly well liked professor even though he teaches one of the hardest courses on the hill, mechanics. Despite his renowned "shot-guns" everybody who sees him likes him whether that person receives an "A" or a flunk. With his Sherlock Holmes pipe, and horn-rimmed glasses, Professor Brown may be seen walking up Fourteenth Street almost any morning, and he may be distinguished by a cap which he is never without. Professor Brown is a graduate of the University of Colorado and is the author of his own textbook. He attends a daughter's attendance at the University. He possesses a very quick wit and is quite sociable. He likes walking and his walks usually lead him, in the end, to a soda fountain where he may obtain one of his favorite drinks. He is as food of soda-foum Dust tain food as the most frivolous school girl, but let none think that there is any other resemblance. For Mr. Brown is a "man," sometimes a hard-boiled one, and his students know it. CAMPUS OPINION Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daily Kanan. Articles over 200 words in length are subject to cutting by the editor. Con- In 1920, the male population of the United States considered the female sex intelligent enough to cast a ballot for federal offices. Here we are, 15 years, clinging fast to the same prejudices which Susan B. Anthony and other prominent suffragists had to overcome prior to 1920. In this modern day of enlightenment, women who were not compete on an equal basis in politics as well, as any other field. Editor Daily Kansan: Two governing associations, besides being childish, are also a waste of money which could well be used in other places. Why go to the bother and expense of having elections to the M.S.C. and the W.S.G.A. when one election would suffice for both? It is often hard for those working by themselves cannot or will not co-operate, but merge those two bodies into one and they are pretty likely to get something done. In the joint council, if a reform comes up which affects the whole student body, it can be threated out before one organization but with the present system it would have to go before each governing body separately. We think that the most economical, the most efficient, and the most co-operative form of student self-government may be obtained by doing a better matter. The matter of economy is our strongest argument in favor of having such a merger.

ANOTHER WEEK According to reports it would take 303 years for one person to complete all the courses now being offered at Yale University. Well, from personal observation, we find that it would take almost that long for some persons to complete the 120 hours or four years of college work. So Start It Right According to the drys, the wets kept only one of their pledges. We know several fraternities here would like to get those they didn't keep—The Daily Tar Heel. In commenting on his acceptance to pick the Kansas Relays Queen content, Ted Husung, Columbia System ase wag, said: "... I shall be delighted to pay on their pitchchute. In fact I relish the job." We can assemble Mr. Husung in his office and swell "dishes" in the lot, but they can hardly be spoiled of an "relish." You'll Find the Food and Prices Satisfactory. In picking the Queen of the Kansas Rolls we think Ted Hulong should select one of the more streamline skirts. A swiftly, agile all will be a speedy affair.
