A total of about 800 persons—students at the University, professors delegates to the Kansas State Teacher's association convention, and interested townpeepers—have various positions which have been circulated on the Hill recently.
The petitions, which for the most part have been addressed to President Hoover, were circulated as a result of a letter sent by Mr. Hoover, president of Columbia University, who talked on "Is Disarmament a Visionary Scheme?" at an all-university convocation. At an earlier meeting, Mr. Hoover who wanted peace, and who wanted to see the World Disarmment conference meeting in Geneva in February sued Mr. Hoover for demands he desires for peace to the President.
Formulated by Students
Several organizations on the Hill formulated and circulated disarmament petitions. Delegates to the Kansas State Teacher's Association convention, a group of educators, posted petition stating their desire for peace, professors and students who were interested in the movement for world peace formed petitioned petitions on their own initiatives.
Sign at Convocation
A petition, circulated by 24 members of the world history class of the Oread Training School, was signed by 60 students. The class, before it was sent to President Hoover about a week ago. The petition was inaugurated by Oscar H. P. Snyder, teacher of the class, because of his dedication, and for its value as a class project.
No. 55
About 150 students signed the coupon which was attached to the blue leaflets describing the purposes of the demonstration and the arrests of the Armistice Day convoction last Wednesday. The coupon sent in as the students left the convoction.

Present Machine Age 'In the Red,' Economist Says
hase Draws Up Practica Balance Sheet of Liabilities and Assets
'LEADERSHIP NEEDED'
Stuart Chase, noted economist and writer, speaking in the University auditorium last night, struck a balance between his professional machine age in terms of human beings and found that at the present time he is not alone with many of them. The "Frankenstein" and the "power" choruses, and pleased for the working out of a plan to lead us into a safe future.
Chase first pictured the machine age, from the time of James Watt with his revision of a crude steam engine to the creation of a billion wild herds with us. "There," Chase said, "more machines than people in the United States." He illustrated the potency of the machine by having him put a heavy load on a peasant and describing the force that one human being has as compared to that of various machines. "The man could know another down with a blow that would crush a 3-foot piece of steel."
After comparing the beliefs of the "Frankenstein," who believe that the machine will rise to crush us and that all machines must be blotted out with those of the "powers" to uphold the machine with a beating drums," Chase, who holds a certified public account certificate, begins to cast a practical balance sheet of the assets and liabilities of the human age, from the human point of view.
Compares Beliefs of Machine Age
Among the assets of the present machine civilization are higher living standards, superior supervision, less physical cruelty, a lengthening of life and a taking birth at an earlier age than those because it would aid in the adjustment that must come, which is exacerbated by the high cost.
Considers Liabilities
Such a list, by itself, might appear very encouraging; continued Chase, but on the other side are the liabilities of the victims. It is in this way that the present world depression. The first and greatest looming of the liabilities is mechanical warfare. The horrors of these machines have been known. *What of the next*, Chase has known. *What of the next*, Chase asked, "when poison gas will mount in the basements of cities for months after the warfare had passed*
Over-Specialization a Main Factor Over-specialization, economic insecurity, and a loss of the luxury of in-
(Continued on page 3)
"There is no chance of salvaging this civilization of ours if the next world war is not imminent, and we must be unable according to Chao, the fact that we are living upon our economic capital, not upon our economic income, a condition which has been raised in the past by the world. The "Frankenstein" fear of human mechanization or becoming robotics, while overdrawn by that chorus, has its basis in a definite habitat of humans. The number of human robots is decreasing because new machines are constantly taking even their jobs away from them. While the machine tends to grind us down to a dead level of industrial production, it thought that while there is change there is hope: "Where are the Tom Thumb golf courses of yesterday?" Chae de-
The strain, wake, noise, and dirt following in the wake of the machine with the resultant increase in nervous disorders was another point on the growing liabilities list. "While the physical health of humans, especially of children, is improving, the mental health of adults is still gradually becoming worse." Chase said.
When he enumerated his next point in the liability list of the machine age, that of the reckless speed, the congested highways, and the mounting death toll by automobile accidents, the driver has almost even more quiet, almost uneasy.
Still another liability of the machine age is called "the new illiteracy." There are those who advertise, as there was when human labor was the measure. Chase has certain advertising campaigns were conducted. The cost natural to mankind to work in the field was funny papers, continued the list, and he continued to add to it with an explanation of technological unemployment and its parapersions to dispense with men over 40 or 45 of age, the dismissal of the workers, and the loss of employment by musicians since the advent of the machine age "are all aspects of this last point.

Germany Trying for Peace
Exchange Scholar Outlines Youth Movement to Cosmopolitan Club
"The German youth movement is an effort of youth to bring Germany back to a stable base and to promote world peace. It is part of the broader range, German exchange student at the University, in a speech last night at the meeting of the Compositaon club in Berlin."

German youth, according to de Chaupureau, is now generally swinging back into France because it feels that the middle parties have failed to bring about the recovery in France and Europe, the world. He said that he was not a radical but was only interpreting the change.

'No Decorations.' Fraternity Stand, Stuns Committee
House Presidents Decide to Economize by Giving to Student Loan Fund
NOW 'ANOTHER GAME'
A bombhella was dropped in the meeting composed of the various chairmen of the homecoming sub-combitions last night in the Alumni office when Owen Cox, chairman of the house decorations committee, informed organizational faculty houses would not decorate for oncecoming this year.
Owen Cox reported to the committee that the opposition to the idea of decoration was well organized and that little attention had been paid to the building of the House President's council. The matter was railroaded through and it was the intention of that body to use influence to have the women's council to follow its example, Cox said.
This decision was the result of the action of the house presidents' council on decorations, which appointed the office of Henry Werner, men's student adviser, and voted in that the interests of students should be done away with. In lieu of decoration, the council voted that each candidate $10 to the student loan fund.
Committee in Consternation
**Committee in Concession**
The homecoming committee was thrown into a fire and the committee had counted on the organized houses to contribute the color and display of their uniforms. "Just another football game" to the status of an event. It was remarked in the committee that the house decorations were considered outstanding in the conference and that the interest in the display was keen to every one visiting the house. It was the opinion of the committee that the action of the council was laudable and very fine for the student loan program, which was short-sighted in that seemed to be an avoidance of the ikonomism of decoration rather than the expense attached.
To Seek Reconsideration
Prof Treese was, he said, of course, general homecoming committee, was instructed by the committee to appoint a representative and administrative bodies of the University, today, to ascertain if possible their opinions with regard to the matter. Prof Treese was, he said, of course, not involved in making or could not make decoration compulsory nor could the administrative bodies. He felt, however, that further House Presidents council might change its viewpoint and give them an opportunity to withdraw the monkey wrench they had thrown into the homecoming
George Hedrick, chairman of the downtown downtown decommission committees, reported that the downtown section would be decorated and also remarked that the cups had been donated by the city to a award to the best decorated houses.
More Decorations at Lincoln
Mr. Hedrick was asked if he had any knowledge of what was being done in other schools this year with regard to the campus plans, and he knew that in Lincoln, the University of Nebraska, the decorations this year were more in evidence than ever
The point was stressed by some committee member that the matter of exposition on the house decorations committee had written a letter to all the various ornamental mosaics in the many in decoration together with any movetly attained would be considered appropriate.
The committee decided that it would shade by the opinion and decisive action of the House Presidents' council but expressed the hop that that body would reconsider and do its part in "cee" the colorful part of homecoming.
That the decision yesterday of the man's house president's council, abolishing decoration of the organized community, almost inexpirable damage to the homecoming celebration, is the opening ceremony of the chairman of the homecoming committee.
"The value of the house decorations to homecoming cannot be measured in dollars and cents." he said today. "The value of these decorations would lose much of its carnival spirit, which adds more to the enjoyment of the returning alumni, students, and townpeople. I believe the council did not appreciate this importance, and decorations were just a lot of expense and bother and not realizing the importance of the decorations, passed the resolution without sufficient thought about the matter."<sup>1</sup>
