Survey Indicates Liberal Attitude Toward Speakers
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, MARCH 25.1926
City and Students Favor
Bring Militaristic
and Pacifistic
Viewpoints
Any intelligent speaker who has a message to present and who speaks with authority on the subject is welcome to the campus of the University of Kansas, regardless of what his view may be on any issue. This information can be gathered and rapid survey that the Kansas made on the campus this morning.
The survey was made because of recent criticism as to the type of speakers who were being obtained for convocations and by certain University organizations, particularly the Y. M. C. A..
Students and faculty members whether they agree with the opinions or not, seem to show a decided pref. when hearing both sides of any question.
Telu Shutz—"The policy of the Y. M. C. A. has been to bring speakers to the University when it felt that the speakers had a real message, and that they could cope with as wide variation of as is possible, and if so them have seemed to be pacific attitude it is because many of thinking Christians of today feel it is not acceptable with the teachings of Christ.
"Some of our speakers do not ask for financial support; they are financed by the organizations which send them out. Other speakers expect us to pay a part or all of their expenses. I see no more harm in accepting the services of a speaker sent out by an organization in providing the services of Professor Lee, Professor Guild or Dean Dear."
"We had a talk from Major Cayon,
so I see no reason for saying that we are not presenting both sides of the question.
"All of the speakers who have been here were either personally known, or known by reputation as being men worth while in their fields."
Speaker's Connections Given
Chancellor Lindley had no statement to make concerning the speaking of Harrison on the campus, leaving this matter up to the convocations committee and other organizations concerned.
Thomas, Que Harrison is secretary of the Fellowship of Youth for Peace, an organization of young pacifists. His salary and expenses are paid by the inner circle of the Quaker church. These statements were made by Dean John R. Dyer in "Although his views do not conclude with mine, I am willing to give him an open mind hearing," he said. "Every man has a right to his opinion whether we like it or not." Dean Dyer believes the Y. M. C. A. has an honest effort to present both sides of the question.
Dr. William L. Burdick also declined to make any comment.
Dr. Frank Strong: "Convocation speakers that I have heard have been all right and I do not think there are any evidence of being one-studded on the question of pacifism or anti-racism," he said, nothing about Thomas Qar Hawrion.
"The propagandist of any cause is valuable providing that you understand what you are doing. We Hickory said this morning when being interviewed upon the question of whether or not both sides of various questions could be answered, the numbers here.
"I believe that the students are alert enough to tell whether or not a man is making a partition speech.
"We have had a wide variety of conversation speakers here and whether or not a better group could have been obtained, I do not know. To me it appears that some have been very much better than others."
Braden Sees No Plagues
"A miraculous thing in the world where the last where we are afraid of ideas" said Dean S. B. Braden of the School of Religion. We should hear both ideas and get our head around them, so that call us a man 'a real' because he is parfait minded is 'bank' just as the idea we should scrap the navy and disband the army because it is though millennium is just around corner.
"If it is thought that the Y, M. C. A. has not been fait," continued Dean Braden. "it should be remembered that they can hardly be expected to
provide speakers whose views they are not in sympathy with. The R. O, T. C, should furnish their own chair; it feels its cause need defending.
"There is no danger in considering the cause of pacifism, but there is a need of putting all the cards on the table and seeing what the trouble is." The teacher K. Masera has told Hill Speakers to a well versed speaker who comes here all the way from the East "all for notning" with ideas and dreams of a made over world. These speakers have the wonderful faculty of understanding. If disarray were not used we would be over run each year with "all for nothing" speakers. But why confine our selections to pacifists when there are many atheists, communists and even life intolerants men who want the same privilege?
Major Joseph R. Cygon of the local R. O. T. C. declined this morning to discuss convection and Y. M. C. A. speakers, explaining that the matter required that army officers refrain to universities and colleges refrain from entering into any controversy relating to the matter. "I cannot speak," said; "I cannot disclose the matter because I do not feel that would be in accord with the policy of the War Department to express views on controversial matters as they relate to the

Thomas Harrison Believes Pacifism Won't Bring Peace
"Mere Willing and Words Not War Preventatives," Speaker States at Meeting
"The main difference between the world peace movement of today and those that have followed other wars is that it is not a 'Pollyana Parade,' declared Thomas Que Harrison in his talk at the Y. M. C. A. noon day luncheon today, but they will more willing and words will not prevent war and we are striving only with the hope that we may prevent it."
The army and navy cannot be done away with at present, he believes, as we have seen in the movie, but seat of the disease is in men's hearts and it is there that we must build our own armor.
Peace a Dynamic Conception
Pacifism is not a good program for peace, he thinks. The Fellowship of Youth for Peace, which Harrison represents has done away with the pacifist pledge to its members.
"Peace is a dynamic conception and one that involves courage. It does not involve lying down and letting people walk over you. It took some time to realize that peace during the war," he explained, "It is easier to be a soldier during war time."
Harrison is himself an ex-soldier. He was a member of the tank corps during the war and Officer Reserve Corps. Although he served in the last war as a volunteer he will never serve in another. He believes "there is a better way than going home."
Youth's Sin Is Cynicism
Cynicism rather than immorality is the sin of modern youth, he believes. "The word sin is a sort of "the world is all rotten," have a good time while you may and let the wind take the hindmind" attitude.
than a worker for peace in times of peace."
"The way to world peace lies through abstraction," he said in conclusion. "If your cause is just there no cause for war as long as nations are stable, then preparation for war there will always be war. Our hope is in raising of youth that will gradually gain the confidence and trust of each other as the youth movement in Germany is frequently gaining the confidence of France."

Cosmopolitan Clubs Hold Joint Meeting; Helen Proctor Speaks
Foreign Missions as Affecting International Relations Are Discussed
The men's and women's Compton club holds a joint meeting Wednesday evening at the men's Compton Club house, with Miss Helen Proctor, traveling secretary of the student volunteer movement, as
"I don't know anything that would bring about world peace quicker than the instillation of the Christ-like way into the lives of people," she said.
Miss Preezer, who was introduced by Emilio Luena, president of the men's club, spoke on the subject of women's as well as affecting international relations.
Miss Proctor, who was born in Shanghai, China, and lived there until she finished high school, spoke of her friend Shen Chunqi of China and its need of Christianity.
In speaking of the effort to Christianize America, Miss Procter said, "We can't take the industrial wrongs." She noted that we are not part of the world. Neither can we take war out of the hearts of people on our side unless we take it out of the hands of others.
"We realize that there is much at fault in our own country of America," she said, but perhaps the reason we are not more Christian as a country is that we have kept our religion within ourselves, and have let it become provincial. However, the very fact of having a religion trying to be Christian" she added.
The burden of the responsibility for world enlightenment and world peace lies with the Christian student who is the victim of their abuserhood, according to Miss Proctor.
Following the talk, there was an open discussion of the questions which were raised by the students from various foreign countries.
This first joint meeting of the two Cosmopolitan clubs was closed by an informal social hour and refreshments

History in Future to Change. Says Representative
Washington, March 25—"Names of those men who opposed American participation in the World War will be honored in the future, while those who pushed the United States entry will be conceived in future histories," Representative Berger, sociologist of the University at a speech before the hometown today.
He condemned the Easpionage act, and reviewed his own trials and convictions under the law, as a result of which he was sentenced to 29 years of imprisonment, and twice was denied a bail in the home after he was elected to it.
"Even today this is the only civil country in the world where people do not differentiate between political offenses and criminal crimes," Berger told reporters.
"The Attorney General still deines such a thing as political crimes in America. If you differ from Wilcox, Patauer, and McAbo in their interlocutions about this case, their oil well policy, you do not commit a political offence," he said.
Grids, do not forget the meeting tonight at 7:30 in the auditorium of Marvin hall. A new film on the construction of asphalt pavement will be shown, and a talk on the recent developments of asphalt construction will be given. An announcement will be made concerning the A. S. C.
