Building Solidly, From The Ground Up—The IRC
j^UMERICALLY speaking, there will not
be so very many of them—only between
150 and 200—but when the spheres of influ
ence they represent are considered the poten
tialities of the delegates to the International
Relations conference are multiplied many
times.
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.

This Senior bail stuff. Yester

a falsehood. Well, both of us
were partly right, but the story
that would clear it up won’t be
told, because she probably
doesn’t know it, and I don’t
think it would accomplish much.

Forgot Again
Last week on Lincoln's birthday
I forgot to rant and shout.
'Twas not until the next day
I found my error out.
I determined I'd remember
On Washington's birthday
To celebrate the occasion
In a patriotic way.
I guess I didn't do so good,
But after all I didn't fail.
I deducted 'twas a holiday
Cause there wasn't any mail.
