Destroy Evil With Good to End War, Declares Collins
Next Wars May Be Fough With Micro-Organisms According to Scientists
That the "super-resistance or Chesti" the overcoming of evil wif good-is the only means by which war can be abolished, was the central theme of a talk by George Colleen, secretary of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, in the student oper forum held at Myers hall last night
This talk was the second of a series of two on the subject, "How to Prevent Wars." The first was presented last Tuesday at the School of Engineering on "Preparedness as a Means of Preventing War."

"War is the worst enemy of civilization today," said Mr. Collins. "The means for carrying on warfare in 1918 were very effective, but science has not been idle, and the aspect has further changed. A notable example of this invention of Lewisite gas with which Thomas A. Lewis, the population of London could be wiped out in three hours.
May Fight With Germs
"Military experts claim that the final form of war will be fighting with micro-organisms—that is, disease germs—and the rapid change which have been taking place in our world seems to support their contention.

"There are those," continued Mr. Collins, "who say that war brings about a greater good to humanity. If this were so, the last war, who surpassed all others of history, should certainly have produced some of these results.
"Has militarism gone? There are almost one million more men in arms in Europe at the present time than there were years ago. The latest stock of Europe today eight of the countries now being under dictatorships.
Problems Not Solved by War
Problems Not Solved by War "War has proved its futility, weakness, and inability to solve the world's problems," declared Mr. Collins "Christ's teachings to form good basis for good to humanity. Jeasan hardiness should be bound together in love, and this condition cannot exist in war. The badge of war is hate. War reverses all moral law."
hass.
In discussing preparedness as a means of preventing war, Mr. Collins said: "Preparedness, as a protection against war, is a failure. Europe before the war spent 37 billion dollars for 'protection', and the result was the worst social cataclysor in the world's history.

the world's highest moral Obligation Above Line?
Moral Obligation Above Law*
"Pacifists are frequently confused with the question of whether or not they take part in war if it is required by law that they do so," continued Mr. Collins. "In reply, should say that one can only be conflicted when they do not conflict with his highest moral obligations; otherwise he should not obey them. If you use loyal God and humanity, you are loyal to justice."
In conclusion Mr. Collins said: "Shall we choose the philosophy of fear, war and coercion, or our Christian faith, mutual fellowship, trust and super- resistance of Christ—the overcoming of evil with power. We must go out to confront it, because it has broken down."
Mr. Collins is a veteran of the world war, and a graduate of the University of California. He is an present-tourist country in the Middle East, and the Fellowship of Reconciliation, an international organization devoted to the cause of bringing about world peace by working for the critical question of the prevention of war.

Grade Point System Applies to Freshmen of Last Fall-Brand
Maximum Enrollment Depends on Grades; Upper Classes Not Affected
"The grade point system, which controls the amount of work carried by the student, in a given semester and indicates the progress toward graduation, went into effect with the freshman class entering in the fall of 1923," said J. G. Brandt, dean of the College at Columbia, in confession on this matter, he said.
Fifteen hours is repaired as a regular program for students of all classes. Students may enroll in this number, plus one hour for every five points above fifteen earned in a previous semester, according to a pamphlet on faculty regulations. In no case, must they be freshmen or than 16 academic hours sophomores more than 17, and juniors and seniors more than 18.
These points are earned by A's counting three points, B's counting two points, and C's counting one point per person. You would make fifteen grade points and would allow one to carry only the normal program.
Requirements for graduation for the class graduating in June 1924 are grades of A, B and C in at least three-fourths of his work. Beginning with the class graduating in 1925, every hour of study at the statute must be balanced by an hour of A or B before he can graduate.

March & Mr. Beck then answered his question in this manner: many fathers are willing to pass their responsibility of parenthood over to the schools."
"The greatest problem confronting a democratically controlled government today is the problem of leadership, and parents should meet their responsibility toward their children," Mr. Beck continued.
"What are you doing for the inks of this town who will take your place tomorrow?" challenged Mr. Beck. "Our nation's salvation must be instrucled by adults, not children and no parent should shirk his duty to his children."
Leaders of the past who have accomplished great things for country, he said, would hold life. They invested themselves for their country's good. He urged that parents of today pay the price in the conservation of the youth of our country.

Rhetoric Too Much For Ribboned Towser
Evidently he belonged to a sorority where his mistresses were terribly particular about appearance and dress, the little dog that came to one of the rhetoric classes the other day. His black body was so clean that it glittered on a pink satin shirt around his neck, but so quiet at first that neither the instructor nor the students noticed him particularly. He listened tolerantly to the discussion of the "ethical" "aesthetic" and "intelligent" points of view from Stevenson's teacher but when the instructor began to talk the "center of interest" and "dominant effect" to be worked out by the students, that was too much. He refused to accept such a complicated assignment and barked loudly his indication. The look on his constructor that is in and many a substitute student had no effect on him.

"To meet the demand of many students and members of the faculty for a Jayhawker which will compare on a better basis with the yearbooks of the other schools in the valley and yet sell for less than $5 per copy. I would hear利率 including the Jayhawker, the student activity and Ryland Petty, the business manager of the 1924 Jayhawker this morning.
Dean Dyer Approves Plan
"The matter has been discussed with Dept. Law and the other committees, and he says that he would be favorable to the plan if it were the wish of the students that it be included in the budget; indeed, it is possible that the tickets could be sold next year for $12.50 and include the Jayhawker. This would be an increase of only $2.50 of the activity that last year."
"To include the Jayhawker on the activity ticket would insure more sales, and would save the Jayhawker approximately $1,000 now spent for sales advertising and sales commissions. A better price per book could be secured from the price of a bigger circular poster to enhance the value. This would allow for a reduction in the price of the book to each subscriber."
Actual Sales Less Than 1900
Last fall, in homes of stimulator sales, the Jayhawker offered a reduction of 50 percent of the sale price before sale on Feb. 25, but the actual sales fell below that number, according to Petty. In the contract given to each client, all sales were being made when at least $2.50 had been paid down on the book. Purchases of the county clubs which amount to about hundred dollars were under the bill because of the above provision, according to Petty.
"Actual purchases to date number less than 1900 including the books which go to the high schools" said Petty, "as we have more than one hundred orders for books without any cash payment being made and then an offer of $2000 placed with the printers, but we are taking a chance that those who signed up without paying will carry out their contracts."
