Fathers and uncles and family friends who came back from France in 1919 have neglected no opportunity to indoctrinate the youth of the na tion with the pricelessness of peace. The story has been a fea ture of classroom instruction from grade school up, has been a bottomless source of Sunday supplement articles, has danced endlessly on the screen of every movie house in the country. Then war came. Those who had brought our generation up with the ideal of peace held highest before our eyes expected overnight that the millions who had been their disciples under the oli\ e blanch would go forth and do battle. And amazingly enough that is exactly what happened. No one had any right to expect it, but it happened just the same. Dr. David D. Henry, executive vice-president of Wayne uni versity, has said, “Universities and schools of the country can be proud that they have had a part in the training of the gen eration that in this hour is successfully meeting its test and that of the nation.” Thus an authoritative educator makes official recognition of the staggering adjustment that many of us ha\e undergone. But the words that most of us are waiting to hear are the promise that never again will any#generation be schooled in the idea that it is too good or too proud to fight. We know now that peace is a thing which must constantly be renewed. By seeing the spectacle of capitulations collapse, we have learn ed unforgettably that our own unfaltering strength is the only assurance of the blessings that peace can give. In short, we are waiting for our leaders to admit once and for all time that permanent peace cannot be bought for the price of w inning a single war, hut that unending installments must he made in the form of awareness, education, and the readiness to do bat tle again if our land is forced. —J- J MittweAata Sfieahi . . . 17ROM the University of Minnesota, via the Emerald ex changes, have come echoes that hint of a worthy idea with the war in which many of them will fight or are fighting and on the peace in which they will live after the war.” The Daily maintained that "Students must take this kind of initiati\e • . . toward a common program with common objectives if colleges and universities m general are to have the \ oice they' desei\c in the war and peace effort.” * * * rF'HE outgrowth was an embryonic organization to promote international thinking in post-war planning. Statement of the provisional plan of the organization said in part: ‘‘The college and university students of America and of all nations, potentialities cracking the shell. Starting early in January, the Minnesota Daily has been plugging for post-war planning in student circles. Student leaders at Minnesota took part in two conferences which touched upon campus war work, campus politics, and ended with discussions of post-war reconstruction. 1 he main purpose was to “advance the thinking of college students on being the recognized leaders of the world of tomorrow, must now do their best to help shape that world in accordance with just and lasting principles. . . . They are determined that this war in which thev are risking or will risk their lives, shall re sult in a more just and permanent peace than have previous w ars.” The Minnesota Daily expressed the hope that the move ment might spread throughout all colleges and universities. It asked for expressions of Minnesota student opinion, and urged, also, that men and women "act politically—now—lest the fight be forfeited.” Recent issues of the Minnesota Daily have not been re ceived, so further developments are still unknown? Where would Oregon students stand if Minnesota challenged them to join this movement? J- "W • Al JlnAAen Aihl Are University Students Tops? Not sex, not religion, not poli tics, but “the superiority of col lege students” is the hottest ques tion for campus bull sessions. The Brutus who challenges this as sumption had better prepare for an early exit. Everyone knows college stu dents are superior. If you don’t believe it, ask one. But don’t ask their professors. They have to mold this superiority into an ed ucational product that deserves the distinguished stamp of a de gree. They have the tender task of orienting young men and wo men in the ways of learning, much of which has no signifi cance to them beyond a grade, a degree, and a good paying job. Some professors even have the audacity to think that many stu dents lack interest, or purpose, or even intelligence. No Truth? What could be farther from the truth? If they weren’t superior why would they be in college ? A clue was recently dispatched by the Associated College Press. “The blunt fact is that the whole system of higher education is built upon the basis of class priv ilege—for the colleges now, as in the past, continue to draw their financially able to afford an edu cation. We have failed to realize that, not only are colleges re served for those who can afford it, but even those who partially or wholly ‘work their way’ are (Please turn to Page Seven) Illlllilllllllilllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll I CovertheCampus By FRED BECKWITH Good lookin’ Jack Olin, independent freshman politico, had no part of that recent freshmen pants revolt.

By TED HARMON There have been many questions asked about how college men are fitting- into the new streamlined marine corps pro gram, and probably the best way to answer them is to pick an average platoon and denude it, college by college. Take platoon 1107 for instance. In it are college degrees ranging from the University of Washington to Harvard and Dartmontn. mere are proiession al football players, singers, writ ers, lawyers and even ordinary graduates with their degrees a bit damp around the edges. Harvard men are inclined to be aloof and haughty of beans, although they are served two different ways: hot or cold. There’s still that broad “A” in their voice and the boast of sub scriptions to the New York Times, and New Yorker and menus of the Stork club. They dislike getting up at 5:45 and wear real pajamas to bed. Dartmouth goes from one ex treme to the other. Either one knows they’re from Hanover, or they don’t. They are all loyal alumni, pay their dues and re live weekend parties that ob viously were unmentioned during collegiate days. Dartmouth boys like pipes, spiced tobacco, sweet shaving lotion and five letters a day. None of them seem to have left girls behind, although they are anxious to comb Washing ton, D. C., on their first liber ties. The graduates from Notre Dame are good Catholics, espe cially on Sundays. They flex their muscles before face-mir rors, talk of Knute Rockne and like Hershey bars.

BUDDY By BETTY LU SIEGMAN Three distinctly different batles are being fought at pres ent—one by the inmates of the campus infirmary against ca tarrhal fever, another against infantile paralysis which is em phasized by President Roosevelt's annual birthday ball 4 j January 31. and the last but most important, which all Ameri cans are engaged in, against the deadly axis nations. Among thousands of men en gaged in the latter battle, Lieu tenant Justin G. Knowlton, ’41, was among the crew members of two American bombers which ac counted for at least eight Jap anese Zeros during two recent engagements over New Guinea. A bombardier in the army air corps, Lieutenant Knowlton grad uated from the army navigation school at Hondo, Texas. Two More Alums Lieutenant Harold H. Harden and Ensign Andrew A. Hurney, from the University, are among 26 new officers, most of the out standing with athletic records, who recently reported to the navy pre-flight school at St. Mary's college. Lieutenant Harden has been assigned to the instruction staff of the athletic department, while Ensign Hurney has been assigned to the military depart ment. Lieutenant Jim Frost, ’42, who visited on the campus from Sun day night until Tuesday morning, has been transferred to Fort Ben ning, Georgia, for advanced fram ing in heavy infantry weapons. A second lieutenant in the infan try, he was primarily stationed at Camp Roberts, California. On the campus, Frost was first vice president of the ASUO, form.' i Emerald business manager, aiier president of Theta Chi.
