Austin, Texas. November 14—Unlike U. S. public opinion, majority sentiment among college students today holds that it is more important for the United States to try to keep out of war than to help England even at the risk of becoming involved

Simultaneously over the entire nation, Student Opinion Surveys of America has sent its interviewers to

query all types of students on large and small campus, presenting to them a problem vital to American youth, a question many times dis-cussed in a thousand dormitory and boarding house bull session. With the cooperation of the Spectator and scores Of other newspaper members, the Surveys has gathered and tabulated these opinions by means of scientific sampling methods. Here are the results:

Students were asked which of the two following things they thought was more important for the U. S. to try to do. Their answers, in percentages. are given after each statement;

keep the the U.S. out of war------------55%

Help England, even at the risk of getting into the war This is not what their elders think. A Gallup poll recently pointed out that the majority of Americans believe the British are holding our first line of defense and helping them is

Realistic Pacifists

Are In Gethsemane

Dr. Rufus Bowman, president of Bethany Biblical Seminary, Chicago, spoke on "The Quest for a Realistic Pacificism.” "Realistic pacifists are In Gethsemane today and false pacifists are as Jesus disciples asleep."

True pacifism consists of three things, pacifistic convictions, pacifis-tic way of life and a program of action. Our convictions must be of the worth of man, of the value of democracy, and a faith is the overcoming power of love. Our way of life must be consistent with our convictions and must be democratic in nature.

_The program of action should con-

sist of three things; preservation of democracy In the church, the community as a center of Integration of democracy, and third, national and International democracy.

There is a program of action that we may take In case Hitler and his army came over to America. The following may be a possible program of action First, we would meet, him at the boat. Invite him to a meal and a conference In which a peaceful settlement could be reached. If, no agreement could be reached, the next thing to do would be to refuse to fight back, and as a result. there would be no killing.

Dr. Bowman closed by saying. "On this Armistice day of 1904. we can be true to Christ by standing for and standing by Him and the relig-on which he represents."

Dr. Olson Discusses Social Legislation

Dr, Oscar A. Olson, professor of ec-onomies and business administration, discussed "Social Security Legislation to Recent Years" in chapel Wednesday, a week ago.

Social security covers a broad field. It represents a new departure of gov-ernment in the Called States. It is not. however, as great a forward step In social security as the European countries have taken. The two greatest steps taken In social security in the United States is old age compen-sation and unemployment compensa-tion

The act was passed in 1935, so Its success or worth cannot be determined as you

Macollege Acts As Host To National Student Organization

Volunteer Conferenc Attracts 170 Delegates From Seven Brethren Colleges

For three days, last Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the campus here bustled with representatives from all seven Brethren Church colleges. Cars from Virginia, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, and California saluted each other, as they hurried up and down Euclid street carrying busy students from homes to seminars, conferences, and the dining hall.

List Jokes To Save Time

University of Minnesota stu-dent have started a move to publish a list of all jokes on used by their profeasors; a list that will classify and number all wisecracks and favorite stories of the pedagogues. Saving of time is the main reason for the effort, for in the future when the instructor feels the moment hat arrived for a dash of levity he need only give the number of the Joke.—(ACP).

It is fitting that the only National Brethren Student Organization should be a Religious one. Two de-cades ago the student Volunteer Movement flourished in our colleges. Then followed yean when both the name and the essential organization almost vanished from among us. But recently there has been a revival of both the spirit and the organization.

and each year has seen a larger group of student volunteers trekking to one or another of the colleges for their annual convention. This year the Conference reached a new peak both in attendance and In consecration,

For the first time in recent years, all the colleges were represented. LaVerne, California. sent twenty-four delegates, together with three faculty representatives. They operated a "Travel Cooperative". This furnished incentive to authorize a similar but larger cooperative for next year, which would include all the colleges and equalise expenses for delegates, regardless of distances travelled. Bethany, Chicago, sent thirteen representatives with one faculty member. Manchester. Indiana, was represented by twelve delegates, two of whom were faculty members. Bridgewater. Virginia, sent seven. with one faculty delegate. Juniata. Pennsylvania. was represented by four delegates, and a faculty member: and Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, represented by two delegates. McPherson, the host, was represented hy seventy-seven registered delegates making a total registered attendance of about 170.

The program was varied. Including seminars, business, inspirational and social session, music and drama. The addresses were of a high qualify throughout. Dr. Rufus Bowman, represented Bethany Biblical Seminary. Paul Bowman. Junior, spoke for the Brethren Service Committee; Dan West is the National Peace Repre-sentative. Raymond Peters Is the new National Director for Young People. President Schwalm. Dr. Metzler and Dr. Bittinger represented McPherson on the program. Lee Nelson, Co-President of the Student Christian Movement, was student director of the Conference. assisted by Richard Burger, President of the local Student Volunteers.

The program of the conference called for a deep consecreation of life to the spiritual interests of the King-

Amlin. Texas. November 15—Col-lege students, exempted from the draft at least until next June and told by President Roosevelt that they are more useful in the classroom than In the army. face today a world plag-ued with ever-spreading war.

With the election over, increased aid to Britain appears certain, and whether from circumstances or from blundering, the possibility exists of armed conflict against the axis powers. If war worn declared, how many men now in college would volunteer, how many would wait until called?

That was the question scores of interviewers for Student Opinion Sur-beys of America presented to a cross section representing the entire male enrollment of U. S. colleges and uni-versities. Nearly one-fourth of the men are ready now to join the army In case of war. The rest a majority of 76.5 per cent, say they would wait until drafted.

These national weekly polls of college thought are sponsored by 150 campus newspapers, the Spectator among them. Personal interviewing is the method used In gathering opinions from a proportionate sample that contains correct ratios of men and women, lowerclassmen and upper-classmen. and all types of colleges, distributed over six geographical sec-tions of the country.

This was the question used: “If the U. S. went to war against Germany, Italy, or Japan, would you leave

“Back to the Farm" was the subject discussed by R. E. Mohler, professor. of biology in chapel Wednesday "The road to recovery is the road that leads back to the farm," Mohler stated.

There should be a back to the farm movement for college students. They must learn the crop system. There are three “must haves" for the college student for his back to the farm movement. They are I. Q.. or native intelligence. ability to put themselves to work, and the "night out" weed must be eradicated.

"The back to the farm movement is needed for personal living, in which several crops must he cultivated and grown they are: Industry, thrift, honesty. unselfishness. and reverence”, said Mohler. "The one and only possible road to recovery is a road that leads back to the farm. It is the only way net of the present chaos."

If the snapshots are accepted and used, the Quadrangle will pay ten cents for each. The snapshots should be turned In to the photo editor, Jack Bowker If not used the snapshots will be returned.

One picture deadline has already been met. stated Karlin. Many pic-tures. including class pictured have already been sent In. and the Quad-rangle is well on its way. In com-ment Kerlin was heard to say, "Deadlines are such horrible things, aren't they?”

After an eventful week, three weary Macollege students returned to Macampus late Tuesday evening. They had been delegates to the Asso-ciated Collegiate Press Convention held in Detroit over the weekend.

Jack Bowker, photo editor of the Quadrangle, went to gain now ideas about putting out a yearbook. Doc Hoover, business manager of the Spectator, and Ernest Reed, editor, represented the Spectator and at-tended valuable round tables concern-ing their own publication problems

Having changed their plans, the delegates drove in Bowker's spacious Buick. At least they thought it was spacious, until all three tried to sit in the front seat with their overcoats on. Leaving McPherson at 3:00 p. m. Tuesday. November 5, they arrived in Columbia, Missouri, with only a few stops, 3:00 a m. Wednesday. where they hit the hay In a small hotel. ‘ ■

They left Columbia after a short visit to the Missouri University cam-pus. From then on. they drove straight through to Detroit, arriving at 6:00 a. m. Thursday. They made reservations in the Book-Cadillac Hotel, one of the finest hotels. If not the finest, in Detroit,

Hoover and fired visited the River Rouge Plant, Ford's super automobile factory. while all three of them managed to take a short trip south from Detroit Into Windsor. Canada The greatest Impression they gained In Detroit was gained in the Book-Cadillac Hotel, with all its conven-iences and luxury

Charles G. Kettering, vice-president of General Motors Corporation and In charge of research there, gave an extremely Interesting speech at the banquet given all the delegates by General Motors. Several newspaper advisors of note led in different round table discussions. The three McPherson delegated each went to different rooms, for the purpose of gaining ideas on their respective problems.

Early Saturday morning the adven-turesome trio left Detroit for Chicago in an attempt to see the North-western-Illinois football game in Evanston. All their planning was fine, except that they neglected to take Into account the fact that Evans-ton was on the other side of Chicago. It took them a full hour to drive through Chicago and they saw only the second half.

Late that evening Doc Hoover while standing in a safely island walling for a street car where he had accompanied a lady friend of the moment. was hit by a car going about 25 miles per hour. All eight people standing in the Island were mowed down, three of them hurt seriously. But Doc was fortunate. Just as the car hit him, he jumped with the aid of his old foot-hall reflexes and the car merely knocked him aside, where he slid on his seat in the muddy street.

After seeing the Adler Planetarium. the Aquarium. and the Field Museum of Natural History, the dele-gates left Chicago Sunday evening and arrived. In Kansas City Monday afternoon. In Kansas City they holed out in a "Jernt" ( running low on their prescribed budget.)

Leaving Kansu City Tuesday noon, the happy but tired trio arrived in McPherson at 7:00- all glad they had attended the national press conven-tion. Their only regrets were that they missed several nine weeks' exams and had to make them up with very little preparation.

The Spectator Sees-

One’, Ability To Bellow Chauvinistic

Babble Is No Thermometer Of Patriotism

"What's become of 'The Star Spangled Banner'—or have we abandoned it as our national anthem?” asks the Purdue Exponent That's a question that a lot of college newspapers hare been asking, half tongue-in-cheek, half seriously.

The Exponent "won't debate the merits of Irving Berlin’s 'God Bless America’ but we do dispute its right to the same honors as the national "anthem. We think that the substitution of ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ for ‘God Bless America’ on a few public programs would be a welcome change—at least for college students who have built up a terrific ’hate’ for the very obvious attempt to synthesize patriotism where patriotism has already existed.”

The Daily Reveille raises a protest at Louisiana State University, taking its readers back to one of the recent football games, “When the band played the super-popular ‘God Bless America," thousands leaped to their feet, males swept their hats from pates and slapped them over hearts, and stood stiffly at attention while the tune swung on. We wish that such respect would be shown 'The Star Spangled Banner.’ ” The Reveille believes that ‘If the fervid Standees would stop a moment to consider the silly tribute they are paying to the American god, Advertising, they might save their fervor for true patriotism, God didn't pick out the ‘geographical spot to endow all His lofty virtues. We should be proud that we were born here; we should also remember that it's pretty much of A genetical accident thath we are Americans. God doesn’t 'bless’ America; 'blessings' come where people are free to think and where those men met decently toward their fellows.”

El Gaucho takes up a similar cry at Santa Barbara State college, “Understand,” says El Gaucho, "we don't object to people's rising to sing 'God Bless America.' We think it is a very nice gesture to the composer and to the singer Who made it famous, and nothing more. But one's ability to bellow forth chauvinistic babble is hardly an indication of one's feelings towards the United States.”

Realizing that "there will probably be FBI men on our trail by morning,” the Dartmouth declares it is “unable to keep silence any longer on 'God Bless America.' ” The song, says the Dartmouth, brings up a "mental picture of someone waving a flag "because it's fun to wave a flag and everybody else is doing it. It seems as though we could do a little more than place America’s well-being musically in God’s hands and call it patriotism.”

The Anvil Chorus Concludes with the observations of theCliff Dweller at the University of Pittsburgh, which recalls that "when the country was growing and expanding in every direc-tion, it sang boisterously and challengingly. We as a nation must grow and expand again. We need a song of spirit and courage. Let the song pluggers play and sing Berlin’s tune of, apathy, but let Americans "have a song like 'Onward America. ” I

It is suspected the collegiate writers are not really as ex-cited about "God Bless America” and its possible implications as they seem. But most of them feel America’s patriotism must have a more fundamental expression than the musical plea for divine blessings.—(AGP).

Our Best Answer To Pompus Threats Is To Ignore Them, Continue Aid To Britain

How serious and how immediate is the "triple threat” to America from Rome, Berlin and Tokyo? Collegiate editorialists are speculating freely these tense days, and their near-unanimity of opinion is remarkable.

Recent decision of the three fascist powers to collaborate more closely, reasons the Tech, published at Massachusetts Institute Of Technology, "is designed to prevent the United States from entering the conflict by threatening a war on two fronts if we keep extending our help to Great Britain.”

At Brown university, the Daily Herald sees the Nordics, the Latins, and the Orientals, with much flexing of muscles, proclaiming “their joint supremacy and the utter waste of resistance to such a strength as they represent," But the Herald asks: “What strength ? It is meet that we should examine these claims of totalitarian invinicibility and our own puerility.” Proceeding with such an analysis, the Herald believes "the first axiom which, until disproved, we must accept, is the impossibility of the defeat of Britain. So long as Britain stands we are secure in Europe, and the boasts of the Axis are but empty prat-tling so far as their ability to harm us it concerned. And so long as China stands we are secure in Asia. Our shields are friends, and our only intelligent, our only possible course is to re-enforce these shields. The British have learned. The Chinese have

Ah me—what to write? If you want to get your name in this column be sure to do something Just medium mean. If it's too mean we can’t use It because It might be more degrading‘than the average remarks. If it's not mean enough we can't use it without river-exaggerating it. it you are smart you probably won't relish the publicity anyway. We trust that our dear readers apply the proverbial grain of salt to these delusory lines of drivel. Perhaps a generous dash of the table cloride wouldn't be too much.

Most of my inmates have been In- illustriously digging their red flan-nels out of the moth balls since the j recent near sub-zero weather. How-over many of them failed to don their heavy-duty crimson undies soon enough, hence they go about sniffing like a blood hound In a meat market.

Speaking of cold weather. Old Fan- ny shattered all records last Sunday nite. Most of the fellows had to sleep with all their clothes on, under all teh available covers with all the curtains, overcoats, and rugs they; could accumulate on top of them, and then they had to stamp their feet in their sleep to keep from freezing. Many were seriously considering breaking up the tables and chairs that weren't already broken up and building a fire with them. It was so cold that the radiators almost froze up With the heating plant, such as it is, going full blast.

The Butler Collegian feels that "this democracy should continue economic aid to Great Britain, for only the maintenance of the British navy will enable the U. S. navy to remain in the Pacific ocean. The treaty threatens the United States only when this nation decides to do what Hitler and his colleagues wish us to do—be negative, cease to strengthen the British military machine, and let Japan go about her imperialistic way, uninterrupted,"

The Eastern Teachers College (Ill.) News advises that "our best answer to the pompous threat of the totalitarian powers is to ignore it. Continue to increase our aid to England and China, who seem to be keeping the dictators fairly busy at the present time, and make ourselves strong at home."

The New Mexico Lobo likewise calls upon America to stifle its hysteria about the newest- phase of Axis diplomatics. The alliance, agrees the Lobo, just "isn't news." These three nations have been informally in a state of cohesion since Germany began its ambitious onslaughts, and the mere addition of a theoretical formality to a known actuality should be no reason for additional jitters.”

The Michigan Daily believes that Japan in recent day* "has executed one of the most precipitous backdowns in diplomatic history. Whether the Nipponese will persist In sneak aggressions and covert grabs under their apologetic smoke screen remains to be seen. In any event, prevailing ideas about the Importance of “face” in Oriental psychology need revision." —(ACP).

The World At Large

By Betty Dean Burger.

This week we have celebrated Armistice Day, a day which has come to have significance only in the fact that the peace it instituted was only a temporary, peace. Just how temporary is shown by the fact that twenty-two years ago, the cities were reverberating to the noise of throngs rejoicing in the cessation of hostilities, and today, many of those same cities are shuddering from the impact of bombs. This is a tragedy which we are watching with the expectation that at any moment we may have to take a part. We can only hope that the end will find us still acting as an audience.

It is heartening to witness the triumph of the valiant Greeks against the invading Italians, Reports that they have driven every Italian soldier off Greek soil come in welcome contrast to the now trite statements that London and Berlin were bombed. However, a need of doubt. Is sown when reports from Italian sources Insist that Italian troops are advancing into the very backbone or Greece, the Pindus Mountains,

The spotlight has again been directed toward Berlin with the report that the Russian Premier Molotoff is going to "intensify the exchange of Ideas" by a personal visit, to der Feuh-rer. Such a visit coming at this time seems to indicate that the fate of the Balkans is to be discussed, since Count Ciano Is expected to ar-

rive in a few days.

Incidentally It's a nice living, Elliot Lewis' portrayal of a frustrated college graduate pays off substantially, as do Elliot's other radio performances. He is the busiest airwave actor In Hollywood

He often gags his own gag-line by saying: “Two years at Los Angeles City college and THIS (meaning his radio emoting) Is what I do for a

living!"

Elliot wasn't kicked out of college, nor did he flunk. He had intended to finish in law and hang out his shingle. But four years ago. In his Junior year, there came a financial lull After anxious weeks a long forgotten radio audition resulted In a call His first role is described as "Voice In a crowd Daring an Earthquake " Not much change for recognition but strangely enough It was the beginning of a profitable carter.

Elliot's radio roles grew more important until he was politely Informed by the dean of Los Angeles City college that his radio career was Interfering with his studies. Elliot made a choice—In favor of radio.

Now. in addition to his grumbling

chandising, judges Wayne King's letter-writing contest, in which six $125 rings are given away each week.

Radio listeners enter the contest, a feature of King's CBS program, by writing King letters asking him to Play their favorite songs and explaining their preference. King received over a million letters last year, and Is now getting them at the rule of 12,000 a day.

Unable to read them all himself. King consulted Professor Harrold who specializes in contest-judging. The professor and his staff read all the letters, passing the best 200 to the orchestra lender, who selects each week’s winners. The writers of these letters receive the rings, and. Incidentally, hear their favorite songs on the air.

Seniors To Play Host To Freshmen

Members of the senior class will yet out their hair ribbons, bow ties, and suckers as they play host to the freshman class at a kid party tomorrow even-ing, at 8:00 o'clock in the gym-nasium.

Alt seniors and freshman will at-tend the party In their best "kid at-tire." for prizes are being given for

the most original outfits. Three priz-es will be given one to the most uni-quely dressed couple, one for the best girl and one for the outstanding boy.

This affair has become a traditional event and is given for the purpose of establishing a feeling of friendliness and cooperation between members of the freshman and senior classes.

Arrangements for the evening have been planned by Lucille Wade, with Rollin Wanamaker, Ramona Fries, and LaRue Owens as her assistants Entertainment which Is appropriate for "kids" will be staged.

Collegians

Students, however, have repeatedly shown their tendency toward isola-tionism and their strong desire to avoid another war. For two years the Surveys has been, gauging collegiate sentiment the nation over. It has found, for example, that majorities (In October 1931) would not volunteer should the U.S. send troops to help England and her allies, opposed (in October 1939) changing the neutrality law to allow any belli-gerent to buy American supplies, opposed (In February 1940) compulsory military training, and felt (In February 1940 our most Important problem was In keep the country out of War.

These opinions have been tempered somewhat by the Impact of recent events such as the fall of France. U. S. conscription, and the spread of The war. An Indication of this cooling of opinion Is the large group, comprising 45 percent of the students, who at this time Approve helping England, even If We eventually have to fight,

Why does the majority of students believe that our efforts should empha-size our keeping out of war? A University of Rochester freshman gave this reason: ‘"We have enough trouble here.” A co-ed told the Tarkio (Missouri) College Interviewer. "England brought this down upon herself by her conduct after the last war " A sophomore at the University of Maine spoke for thr opposition when he said, "If England is conquered it is our turn to worry, and we won’t have anyone to worry with us.”

Most College

From the South and West, selective service officials have stated are coming the greatest number of volunteers for a year of military training. These two sections, with the exception of New England, contain the largest number of students who at this time believe they would pain the army If war broke out. Only 7 per cent were undecided on the problem, and the percentages above have been adjusted to eliminate this "no opinion” element.

One year ago last month Student Opinion Surreys found 52 per cent declared they would volunteer If "England and France were to danger of defeat and the U. S. declared war on their enemies,'' The Surveys measure the tenor of student opinion for the present. What college youth will do If war actually breaks out no poll can predict

Kansas Wesleyan is perched an top of the Kansas Conference and only McPherson will have a chance to knock them out of sole possession with a victory.

Bulldog' Favorite Dish

The old propaganda which says that the Bulldogs haven't got a chance against Kansas Wesleyan is making its annual appearance. This type of propaganda is the favorite dish on the Bulldog's menu, and we would be very unhappy If we were forced to do without,. Giant-killers like this dish about as well as Popeye likes his spinach and as the Bulldogs hare been eating no other dessert they will be ready to tear after the Coyotes tomorrow afternoon.

Predicted Losers Win

For the past sven years the Bull-dogs have been the predicted losers every year bit once, and they have been the eventual winners each time.

Following is the record of the two schools the last seven years;

1933, McPherson 6, Wesleyan 0. 1934. McPherson 7. Wesleyan 6 1935, McPherson 0 Wesleyan 0 1936, McPherson 0, Wesleyan 0,

1937, McPherson 3, Wesleyan 0 1938, McPherson 12. Wesleyan 7. 1939. McPherson 14. Wesleyan 13. The game was postponed because of

the extremely cold weather, and the time tomorrow will probably be-better for both the fans and the players.

Tentative all conference lineups have Included such players as “Squeak” Meyer, "Dutch" Goering.

Attention freshmen!

If you are frequently reprimanded by Professor Hess because you spill infinitives or avoid subject-verb agreements by ‘ain't-ing' everything, let this be your solace—other freshmen classes before you have come (and gone) not knowing any more than you.

In the freshman rhetoric class in the year, 1917, Miss Trostle, the instructor, tested the general intelligence of the class—and received some pecauliar answers Some said Tenny-son was the author of the "Marble Faun” and that the "Tale of Two Cities" was written by Hawthorne, Tennyson. Lord Byron, and Victor Hugo. In that far off time some were laboring under the Illusion that Milton wrote "Pilgrim's Progress" and Harriet Beecher Stowe's brain child was "Romola".
