--all men in the army were armed that war in itself is unenlightened to the advancement or betrayment of the race, but they differed widely as to the causes of war and as to a means other than war of settling international disputes.

**advertising for Blowers — the dəope」' A Gripe to the Kappas . . . A Little Warning for Romeo Berman.**
Since the Owl is coming out this morning we think it only fitting and proper that our contribution should be headed off in the right manner with a little tidbit about none other than William P. "Owl" Blowers himself—the editor-in-chief, main dirt getter, and author of the book The Dodge (Yes, that old Dodge of the falling to pieces type which you see every day on the campus is the advertising medium of the Kansas University humor magazine.) Well, we saw Owl standing outside the hospital yesterday talking to someone on the second floor. In fact, he looked as though he might start climbing just any minute. We knew that he was clearly an indecent manner but didn't think he'd stope to haunting the poor sick people, too.
We hear that Dorothy Fry got on the train last Saturday and went home because she had the measles and didn't want to give them to the girls in the house. Wonder how the people who were on the train with her feel now.
We've been requested to take the Kappa's not to pledge the blonde rushed from Kansas City who came up for the Junior Prom. She told one poor fellow who had to dance with her for forty-five minutes that we were a very funny lookout of bunch of people and couldn't dance, ee. Decidedly that gai'n can't any gentleman because after all the party probably didn't cost her anything.
Horace Hedges came into the Jaya-hawker office the other day all of a twirl and a lather and proclaimed to Liz Shearer, "Here's a picture of the D.T. house." We've known for a long time that most of the fraternal abodes about the campus could well be called D.T. houses but this is the first case we've heard of so far when one of the members admitted it.
We have here a special little message for Virgil Hamlet Otello Romeo Tootsie Hold the Phone Tallyho Bergman. (Yes he's an American.) It has been delayed to us that certain parties have been getting much enjoyment out of watching him practice his deep emotional acting as they go by his apartment every evening. "Tis said that Virt flauches and gestulates much better than even Bill Bradbury. In case you're working up an audience, Verg, we'll tell the people that your apartment is at Eleventh and Kentucky—and by the way, the admirer who told us all this was a female of the virgile, Virgin!
This column is a bit short today because we feel a little compunction for our friend (2) Blowers. After all, we ought to leave you a little time to rease your Owl if you chump, off and bough one.
Crafton Speaks on Play
Professor Talks About 'Yankee Crusade' at Coffeeville
Prof. Allen Crafton of the department of speech and dramatic art was the guest speaker at a dinner given by the local chapters of the American Association of University Women and the University of Kansas Alumni Association at the Hotel Daley in Coffeeville recently.

First Open Forum By Campus Group Attended by Many
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 1935
Audience Votes After Hear ing Discussion on War That It Is Not Inevitable
How the Audience Voted
Yes No
1. Do you believe that war is possible? 47 76
2. Do you believe that war is probable in the near future? 55
3. Do you believe that war is necessary? 6 117
The majority of an audience of ap proximately 300 students and Lawrence people last night voted that war is not inevitable after a free and vigorous dis- sponsored by the K. U. Peace Action (the men's lounge at the Memorial Union.
The question, "Is War Invisible?",
constituted the nucleus of preliminary
bay by a panel of University and Law-
weave men, headed by Prof. Olm Tien
Huang, M.D., and Prof. W. E. Sandelius,
Lt. Col. W. C. Koenig; Prof. W. E.
Sandelius; Prof. W. J. Twente, who is
commander of the Lawrence American
Legion; Rev. Theodore Aazman of the
First Presbyterian church; Lyman Field,
c39; and Robert McKim, c35.
The following quotations were taken from the talks by members of the panel as representative of their opinions or convictions on the subject:
War Not Needed for Advancement
Lt.-Col. Koenig: "The cause of war is lusts. . . those things which violate the spirit of our national and moral laws. Armaments have not caused war but are the result of a declaration of war. . . armaments are a form of luck. Practically speaking, war is not inevitable."
Rev. Theodore Azman: "We most surely will have a war again, but because it is truer to the real nature of man to be peaceful than to fight, it is my opinion that the day will come when we shall have no more war. Fighting is an acquired characteristic, it is not natural. War never settles anything."
Peace Moves Established
Professor Twente "We must look at war intellectually, not emotionally. We must get the facts about war from an accurate and unprovided source, not from the people who gain by war. I believe that intelligence made great advances toward peace."
Professor Sandelius: "Nobody would say that situations look too hopeful at the present time, but the world has already weathered several major crises buring this past year. England holds peace for the world at this moment."
Robert McKim: "Technical schools are opposed to war, but should war come, every member of a technical school would support it. On the basis if past history war is inevitable. If war ever becomes a thing of the past it will be changed, even the war has changed, not because of armaments conferences if Leagues of Nations."
Fields Blames Newspapers Lyman Field: "As long as we have newspapers of a standard that is maintained by many newspapers in this country today, we will have war. Germany must be given equality in all respects if war is to be averted. Armaments increase the inevitability of war. A great step toward peace would be free trade among nations."
The date for the next meeting of the series will be set sometime this week. Prof. Olm Templin will continue as a series director. The teachers will be effected for each meeting.

College Faculty Discuss Absences of Students
Professors Are Admitted to Voting Power on College Board
The motion of Prof. H.C. Thurman, chairman of the committee on eligibility in non-athletic activities, was referred to the University senate, since that was deemed a matter for University rather than College action.

The two posed for a picture, but due to some mix-up, the Elkhardt express is shown with the fan. From the picture which appears in his book March 18, one might think that Glenn was having a wonderful time.

Universal Strike Of Students Against War To Be April 12
Many universities in the United States, and in other countries will repeat the custom, characteristic of their liberal and progressive attitude, of taking one hour from their class periods on April 15 to participate in collegiate strike against war.
Students in these universities believe that war should under no conditions be used as a means of settling international disputes, and, therefore, pledge themselves never to carry arms by their own volition in an international conflict.

Engineers Hear Flanders President of A.S.M.E. Talks on Social Well-Being
In an address built up point by point in true engineering style, and delivered with methodical forcefulness, Mr. R. E. Flanders, president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, presented to Kansas engineers yesterday morning the case of "The Engineer and His Social Well-being."
In the opening statement Mr. Flanders said, "Engineering and science in general are often accused, by some, of hampering business activities. They are so far developed that at times they have to stop work, take a holiday and allow the rest of the world to catch up with them." Mr. Flanders went on to point out that many changes in the social field must be but in one way, that is forward.
"It is impossible to go backward, we must not choose extremes either to the right or the left, but we must select as drawn the most activist movements forward, forwards, forth."
According to Mr. Flanders the things that an engineer must obtain to help his well-being are 'a better standard of living, equal opportunity for all, and assurance of simple subsistence; balances of income; and 'all of these, individual liberty.'
