Mathematically it might even be figured as tlie number of schools represented multi plied by the number of students in each school, which means the conference is going to have more effect than meets the eye in the two days of discussion which open this morning. When it is remembered that at least 00 schools, covering the northwest area like a blanket, will be represented the total reach will be of staggering proportions. # * • IN a day when oil for international machin ery is not only a necessary but a sensible idea, such conference can accomplish nothing but good. If they do no more than get a few extra converts to the intelligent approach to international affairs they have done their work, for in a day of prejudice, sectionalism, and intense nationalism the intellectual, studied, approach is unfortunately the ex ception rather than the rule. Movements like the one which manifests itself in a conference at the University today and tomorrow, then, are in effect like the ripples radiating from a stone thrown into still water, only with somewhat more lasting result, The indirect effect is perhaps greater than the direct in this ease. # # # rJpiIKHE is a certain wholesomeness in such youth movements as the International Re lations conferences and clubs. It seems like a large order to expect that everything will come out all right .just because of the rather peripheral efforts of a group of young people trying to do something about the world. The world may even seem, quite a distance from the backyard, which perhaps could stand a little cleaning up also. But as long as the principle is sound and the effect, both direct and indirect, is im measurable by any known standards, the IRC people are on the right track. And not to be forgotten is the fact, that these representatives will, be sizing up the University while they are here. More than that, there is a valuable opportunity for some informative contact with fresh personalities and new ideas. Character Decided—The Concert Series ^^LTIIOUGII it is not yet signed on tli• • dotted line, next year’s eoneert series is to all intents and purposes settled, as a, result of Wednesday’s four and a half-hour educa tional activities hoard mealing. The character of tin1 program has been decided, with the hoard sticking to its tested policy of Greater Artist numbers. The em phasis next year, however, will he toward popularity in tin' artists offered. Before the meeting there was student talk of radical departures in program anything, provided it was sound enough and established, to get, more students into the Igloo audience* than the 27 per cent of the undergraduate en rollment who have been going. The hoard took the approach of trying to aim for people who were known, and well received even among non-experts, public figures in other than their own fields such as radio, the screen, the stage. 'I MI AT tin- board took so lnurli timr to thresh the thing out indicates that it did nothin;' until it felt it had discussed the prob lem frbm every angle. It has always deliberate cd thoroughly, aimed to be fair in anythin”', at the same time looking out for its ow n func tions such as the budget and considering the light of experience. And it must be granted that, compared with similar boards at other I 1 r schools, this one has turned in a creditable record. Il was according 1o these considerations that (lie hoard decided to try to adapt the old type of program more closely to student inter ests rather than make over the program from Hie bottom up. There is some chance that t here will still he some kind of student special num ber next year, if the opportunity arises to get a hand of sufficient caliber at an acceptable date, and at least the board left the door open. Hut if was pointed out in board meeting that “extra" numbers always run into difficulty as an extra tax on the individual amusement budget, in addition to the fact that the regu lar program already runs into a problem of fitting into a, crowded year. ('('ORi)IN(J lo ils own lights, the hoard Inis done tin' only 1 hiii”: if could do. In view or 1 lie fact that (lie pormiinont members oJ‘ 111 (■ boa i'll lmvo boon studying Ibo problem j'oi' years and have ihe experience that stu dents can never have, the weight lies with the experience, rather than originality. The only real test of next year’s program ■will lie the reception with which each feature is received as it conies, and 1 lu* success of the proposed trial features, if such an opportunity ever arises. Meanwhile the chapter ends, to bo con tinued next year. 1 The BAND BOX By BILL ftlOXLLY Powerhouse Publicity Tito music business is gradu ally building up a powerhouse | publicity system that will soon • bo capable of nothing less than ‘ miracles.
