The first confusion is over the—use
of the word; “disarmament” doesn’t
mean doing ‘away with’ all arma-
‘ments—there is an element. in human.
nature that must be guarded against
by a modicum ‘of’ arms. It means
simply the reduction of arms, and this
cannot -be done - without the comman
consent of all. nations.

SILVERMAN ON _...
GLASS MAKING



- Authority Fully of Interesting

Methods of Manu-

facture.

BLESSING TO MANKIND

Glass, its manufacture and _ its uses,
was the subject of a very interesting
illustrated lecture by Dr. Silverman, of
the University of Pittsburgh, on
Thursday evening, January’ 12. The
lecture, under the. auspices of the Sci-
ence Club, was enthusiastically re-
ceived by a large audience.

First American Industry

Dr. Silverman: began’ by telling us
that glass-making. was one of the old-
est industries in the world. It was.
also the~first industrial enterprise in
the American colonies as there was a
factory at Jamestown.

He went on to tell us how glass ac-,
tually is made. One hundred pounds
of sand to every 15 peunds’ of lime
and 35 of soda ash seem strange ele-
ments to compose a transparent sub-
stance like glass, but such are the
facts. One can but wonder. As clay
is the only material capable of with-
standing the terrific heat necessary
for the making of glass, the materials
are baked in fine clay pots. ‘The heat
of 2500 degrees Fahrenheit to which’
they are subjected melts the three el-
ements intg, a liquid-like molasses.
This embryo glags is then poured out
onto a flat steel table, where it is
rolled like dough. This flat sheet! is
stamped down between two revolving
steel plates, and after that polished
with rougé or iron rust. The product
resulting from this process is. plate
giass. Bullet-proof glass is no more
nor less, we learned, than three layers
of ordinary plate glass stuck together
with a collodion-like binder which

has a certain resiliency that-keeps~ alt} }-

three layers from breaking.

Early Method Fascinating. _
- The earliest method of making glass
was perhaps the most fascinating. The
sticky molasses-like fluid was gathered

on the end ‘of a hollow pipe by. suc-|-

‘year: a Roman Orgy.

The music was jist hilarious enough
for an orgy; and the dimly-lighted

a feeling of great expectancy.

REPORT? OF - OF “CONGRESS,

(Specially contributed by. 2G. ornelia
Rose, '28:)* \
The third Congress of the National

Student. Fedetation-of America was held

at Lincoln, Nebraska, from December 15
to December™?7,

Court where a. group of colleges organ-
ized on a permanent basis. Last year,
the, Congress at Ann Arbor adopted. a
constitution which has since been rati-
fied by the member colleges. This sum-
mer, the C. I. \E. (Confederation Inter-
nationale des’ Etudiantes ) ‘admitted , is to
membership, . Fhus the N, S.- FTX. has
taken the -first’steps on’ the path it pro-
poses-to follow as it states in the preamble
to its Constitution: “We would. achieve
a—spirit--0f-co-operation” among. the” sti
dents .of the: United States of America

ing students’ interests; we would develop
am intelligent, student opinion on questions
of national and ‘international importance ;
we would foster understanding among
the students of the world in the further-
ance of an enduring peace.
for these ends the Federation acts in-
dependently: 6f any party or religious’
creed,” pomnnnene

Organized in Districts.
Federation ig organized along
regional lines, and into standing com-!
mittees. Thus every member of ‘the
Executive ‘Board represents one of the
six sections into which the country - is
divided. / The committees are on Student
Government, Honor system, Curriculum,
Fraternities and Foyeign Relations -or
Travel. Each of ‘these had a discussion
group at the Congress where the sub-
ject was talked over and plans made
for the work of the coming Year.

. The

Thq Travel Committee, for instance,
invitefl the C. I. E. to send over and en-
tertained ten foreign students this sum-
mer as well as sending a delegation to
be cated for by the C. I. FE. E. Brown,
’28, Bryn. Mawr’s delegate to the Ann
Arbor Congress, was responsible for
much of this... She has reported on_ it in
Chapel.

The..most. important accomplishments
of the Congress were the plans for next
year and those for the establishment of
the Federation on a firm: financial basis.
The budget was carefully worked out and
discussed in full session. It would have
been a shock to those who contend that
students are always so impractical to ob-
serve the interest taken in this subject
and the clear thinking that was given to
it. It was decided that if there are suffi-
cient funds on hand in-June the Execu-
tive Committee is to establish a Central
Office. The Bryn Mawr Summer School
has offered a foom in its, building in
New York, for a nominal rent. It is
absolutely necessary for the successful
continuance of the Federation that it

personnel shifts too continuously.
Student. Heresy Discussed.
Beside the discussion groups and Con-
gress sessions there were speakers on
topics of wide interest. Dr. F. N. Fling
of the University of Nebraska spoke on
the “Student in World Affairs,” declar-
ing that the “students’ first task is to
educate themselves with’ reference to!
world affairs and then to be enthusiastic
énough to induce others to become so
educated.” Miss May Hermes of the
University of London told of the work
and organization of the C. I. E. and
Dr. A. J. Todd of Northwestern spoke
on the “Student .Heretic.” In a most
interesting speech he explained that tHe

Co-operate With God

Moderns Have Ceased to See Im-
portance of Prayer in
Religion.





eure



“Prayer, more than conduct, is re-
ligion at work,” said Dr. Samuel Shoe-
maker in chapel on Sunday, January

| 8.
. “The Christianity of the present.day-

and age is too often medasyred by
deeds and generosity. There is no
longer the Godward attitude of mind
which surrenders itself to . constant
prayer. We consider. such things”as
the sentimental pasttimes of perverted
people. Many of us feel that our pray-
ers are received indifferently, and when
God doesn’t answer as we would have
Him, we immediately turn into pro-
found atheists.

Intellectual Faith Still Possible.

“The result of this attitude is blank
agnosticism. The truth of the matter
is that we have failed to realize one
of the most essential phases of relig-
ion:. that ‘God had a purpose in mind
when He created the universe. We
can still.be as modern as we would
and hold on to our intellectual faith
in prayer, through.. which God. makes
it possible for us to seek out the: sig-
nificance of our lives.

~“The difficulty Comes when we try
to bring prayer down from the region
of the abstract to concrete realism.
We hesitate to have prayer for the
basis of’ our prudence, éven though it
hhas:proved its worth by long experi-
ence. Carlyle said of it: “Prayer is

Spite of Politics and Agita-
tion, College Does Make
Up Mind.

FINAL VOTE. IS 211 TO 77

After avery great deal of competition,
innumerable processes of ‘elimination,
mass meetings, and queenly “walkings ;”
after the cessation of party politics, and
the non-acceptance. of a petitién, Bryn
Mawr’s. May Queen has finally been
‘elected by a large majority. Margaret
Nuckols, of the Class of ’31, was an-
nounced as the choice of the college by
the overwhelming majority of 211 to 77
votes.

Many Honors at School.

Miss Nuckols lives in Albapy and at-
tended the St. Agnes School there, Dur-
ing her senior year she was Class Presi-
dent, Vice President of Student Gov-
ernment, Treasurer of. the Athletic As-
sgciation, Editor-in-Chief of the school
paper, and a-member of basketball and
soccer teams. Besides all of this, Miss
Nuckols was voted by her class as the
prettiest, she who had done most for the
school, the most likely to succeed in
love and in life, the hardest worker and
the most original member of ’26. After
graduating ‘from-St. Agnes, Miss Nuckols
returned. for one year of post-graduate
work before coming on to Bryn Mawr
and ftture honors.

The May Queen elect entered college *
on..a~New~ York-Regional-Scholarship:
In the few months that she has been
here she has become a member of the
choir, the Glee Club, and the Water Polo
team. Besides all of- this,- she trained
the Shiek’s Chorus “in the. Freshman
show and took part in the skit during
the Rockefeller Christmas entertainment
All in all, we feel that the college has
chosen an extremely representative per-
son, and one who will do Bryn Mawr
| proud when’ the time comes for queenly
hardships.

Vicissitudes of Elections.

making our final choice may help to

election of “a May Queen entails some
most unusual proceedings. . First of all

: they cannot learn. A few years ago

we all believed that the war had

taught something to the world at}:

large, that Populaces had, at last,
begun to learn. We can no longer
believe this miracle. Mass educa-
tion seems to be as -illusive and
ephemeral an ideal as ever it was
in the petty pre-war days. Customs,
thousands of years old, make a dis-
couragingly ineffaceable track in our
impressionable-minds,and_the. Glory
of War is an ageold tradition. Most
of those who took part in thé re-
in-
grained - superstition. They were
jolted out of the almost indestruct-

‘ible rut. War books, plays and films

were brought out by the disillusioned
in an effort to popularize their new

belief that the Military Ideal was
bunk. In the beginning i propa-
ganda got across. “Outlaw War”
became both a- popular’. and .a
fashionable slogan.

This week we saw the “Big
Parade” again, after two years. . In
just twq years the/ spirit of the
audiences has changed. The propa-

«ganda of the film didn’t get across at

‘all this time, rather the audience
took it as pro-war propaganda. ‘The
sordid incidents were apparently not

noticed, the obviously tragic ones
were sobbed at, but the point
of presentation was completely
missed. The spread of patriotism,
the mob movement ‘to — enlist
at the beginning were applauded,
and from then on ‘the Glory.

of War dazzled the -audience more
‘and more. ‘The American forces
move up to the front (applause) ;
Americans killed (sobs mixed with
admiration of glorious, sacrifice) ;
Germans killed (hectic cheering).
And so it went: every scene that was
meant to shatter the’Military Bubble
swelled it further “instead: there
were cheers. when in the shell-hole

face of the wounded German, and

THE ‘HARVARD Aap

: PERIOD

The experiment that is being tried
out at Harvard just now has called
forth widespread comment, all of,
which has been laudatory. A read-
ing period is being held for the
two and a. half’ weeks preceding
midyears; During this time books
selected by the professors and sup-
plied by the library are being read,
and a knowledge of their contents is
to be required-for-the examinations:
There are of course’ no lectures.
Miss Ada Comstock, . head — of
Radcliffe, said in..an article appear-
ing in the college daily that if. this
experiment succeeds “it ‘will be a
step in the direction of making edu-
cation more of an independent, per-
sonal adventure and less of a sub-
mission ‘to a prescribed routine.”
This is a step we should: all be glad
to take, for we often find ourselves
impeded. by apparently unreasonable
rules, harassed by petty require-
ments. Such freedom as this_read-
ing period promises would be a’ wel-,
come change.

first and last love,”

Dr.

quainted with Thomas

Chew, who. was personally. ac-
Hardy, dis-
cussed’ the principal: aspects of his
work; his regionalism, wich was as
‘intense as that of. Wordsworth, his
interest in poetry, and Ws philosophy.
It was partly the pessimism of his-out-
look on life which prevented him at

Prize, sae partly the 4 Te that * he
never had the continental appeal that,
for instance, Byron had. He was Eng-
-lish of the English—his life and works
center’ around’ Dorchester.
The Imminent WwW ill Shown in Dynasts.
The Dynasts, ‘Hardy’ s masterpiece, the
greatest work of literature of the gen-
eration, was written to give voice to
the ‘Tentative Metaphysics” which is
implicit inwhis novels. He wanted. to
show the Imminent: Will active in the
fates not only of a few human crea-
tures, but. of all humanity; this life
force, unintelligent, blind unreasoning,
“like a~Knitter drowsed whose ‘fingers
move in skilled unmindfulness.” Hardy
was oppressed by the insignificant of
man against the background of the

universe.

In his sonnet On. the Lunar

Eclipse: he expressed hisidea of a cos-

mic scale by which men’s actions are
measured ;
reduced to a mere curve passing over
the face of the moon.

His philosophy was not, however,
entirely pessimistic; he was a “practi-|
cal meliorist.” In his poem to the
Unknown God, ‘he expresses -his
awareness that life is slowly becoming
better. In spite of war, on which he
looked from a universal point of view,
seeing the tragedy from both sides, he
felt that» there: was hope in human
relationships, in love and_ friendship.
His poem, Fo’ Meet or Otherwise, most
beautifully expresses this:

“By briefest meeting something stire
is won;

It will have been:

Nor God nor Demon can unde the
done,

Unsight the seen,

Make muted music be as unbegun,

Through things terrene,

Groan in their bondage till oblivion

supervene.” - =



Rare Proof Lithographs
at Wyndham Exhibition

The new exhibition at Wyndham will
last only for a short time and is certainly
worth .a visit this week bef6re it leaves.
Besides the charming colored reproduc-
tions of paintings by Renoir, Matisse, and
André Derain, which are for sale at mod-
erate prices,’ there are fourteen proot
lithographs -by Gavarni. These are ex-
tremely rare, since such proofs usually
do not survive. Knoedler & Co., in a let-
ter to Mrs. Hinchman, writes: ‘These
proofs have a quality and a bloon, miss-
ing from the later and issued impressions.
It is, perhaps, due to the fact that so few
persons have ever seen lithographs, in
the “first state’ that lithography ‘as an
art_has'in great measure béen, and still
is, a ‘Cinderella’ of the graphic arts.
If people only would realize what.a de-
lightful-.process..it-is,. the: onty. absolute
autographic process which produces per-
fectly the artist’s original design, there
would be a corresponding interest in such
work as.this.” _ ‘

New Liberal Club Has
Been Started This Year

Although for some years all at-
tempts to start a liberal club here have
failed, there has at last been started
one. which the founders expect will
continue, and which has been run
very successfully for one ‘semester.
The organization is intended to be as
democratic as possible, and has so far
avoided all unnecessary rules and re-
strictions. There is no regular Presi-
dent. The Chair at each meeting is
taken by a member elected at the pre-
vious meeting. Becausé of May Day
no regular lectures which ‘are open fo
the entire college will be given this
year, although speakers may come
down for informal and private talks.

Attendance Must Be Regular.
Members are allowed not more than
two cuts.unless they have a reasonable
_excuse—this last includes. week-ends.
~ Meetings. are held every other week on
~ Sunday night after Chapel. Every one
ected to, do some, reading on the
"inex which has been assigned. It
is intended that the discussion shall be
concerned with current problems. So
_far the. subjects for discussion have
_ been Soviet Russia, Disarmament and
“Companionate. Marriages.

‘New Members Invited.

The membership is limited, but the
original members think they can in-
clude more than have so far been ad-
mitted. Those who wish to be admit-
ted are asked to come to two meetings
both. that they.can discover whether
the Liberal Club comes up to their ex-
pectations and also: that ‘they may
prove to themselves-and- the. members
present that they can take an intelli:
gent part in the discussion and can do
~adéquate work in preparation for it.

Those who wish to join the Liberal
Club are asked to ‘speak to one of the
methbers as soon as possible, The

Goodness Is ‘Harmony :

Christ’s Lifé Was Perfect in the
« Way Sought By
: Socrates.





“We are just ‘beginning to realize
that all the standards of life are im-
plicit within each one of us,” said Dr.
Albert Cohoe on Sunday evening, Jan-
uary 15.

“In other words, just whqn we fin-'
ish breaking“all the rules thad'we can
find to break, we discover that these
very rules are not connected with out-
ward things, but are within us and‘an
integral.part of our innermost beings. :
Each time we set out to solve one of
the difficult.problems. of. life, we find
that every factor of the problem is in-
cluded in living the human life.
vtiee Taife-of Harmen, Is Best.>*~

“It is then that we begin to:realize
that the good life-is not the life of
conformity, but the life of harmony—
not harmony in things without, but
harmony in things within ourselves.
Goodness, in other words, is integrity.

“The perfect life. is not» impossible. .
Socrates looked about.for the unattain-
able for many years. But since a mir-
acle had to happen. the perfect lifé be-
came a reality and Christ was born,
lived and was crucified. .

Publicity Doesn’t Count.

“We are often inclined to think that
the Christians were followers of Christ
merely because He was_ spectacular:
He arose and sat at «the right hand
of God the- Father Almighty. But
wheti we. read the letters. of Paul we
see a light on. the subject: The rub-
bish of. all the ulterior motives is
brushed aside’ and we find the actual
facts: a good man put to death for
his goodness. Then it is that we see
that the business of life is the good
man and not what the good man gets
in publicity.

“We talk of Jesus Christ-as an ami-
able person Who made us: behave .in
our childhoods as our mothers wanted
us to behave. We deprive Him of His
virility and imagine Him weak and
sweetly passive. But the fact that
Christ is discovered again and again
is proof enough of His virility.

“The perfect life is not the life of a
weak, polished gentleman. The life

fect harmonious life—the life of Jesus
Christ.” °

“Every year the Bureau of Recom-
mendations sends out a questionnaire
to all Seniors,” said Mrs. Manning,
speaking in Chapel on Wednesday,
January the 1ith. “There is gener-
ally little response, probably because
few Seniors know the type of job they
are interested in. Also the Bureau
does no active work in procuring any
job besides that of teaching. °

“A good many private schools apply

Dt. Fenwick Chosen
Appointed Member of Committee

for Codification of Inter-
- national_Law...-—-—--





Dr. Charles Fenwick, Professor ‘of
Economics and Politics, has been
chosen as‘a member of the American
Advisory Committee on the Codifica-
tion of the International Law. This
committee was chosen on January
in Cambridge, under the auspices of
the faculty of. the Harvard Law
School. The. aim of this committee is
to secure the :co-operation. of Ameri-
can, authorities on legal subjects, “in
order to place before the first confer-
ence for the codificaton,’ of the inter-

bs

national law, which the League of
Nations has called to sit in 1929, a
systematic statement of American

thought on the subjects as to which
codification will be attempted.” These
subjects include nationally, territorial
waters, and responsibility of states for
damage done in their territory to the
persons or property of foreigners.

The organization of this commit-
tee is seen as anothef step in the di-
rection of American co-operation with
the League of Nations. The sub-
jects which are to be studied are of
vital importance to any future devel-
opment of .amicable international re-
lations, and. it will be interesting to
follow: American.expert. opinion on. the
matter.

“Dr. Fenwick is a gradyate of, Loy-
ola College and recei his Ph. D.
degree from John Hopkins University.
From 1911-1914 he worked in: the .di-
vision of International Law, Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace,
and was a lecturer. on International
Law for Washington College of Law
for several years following.

“In 1913 he edited a publication on
the Neutrality. Laws of the United
States, published by the Carnegie En-
dowment for International Peace; in
1920, Political System ‘in Translations;
in 1924, International Law. He is
the author of other articles and trans-
lations.”

Weariness té the Flesh
That Harvard’examinations are design-

been an expressed opinion ‘at certain

one of the several guidebooks to the city
of Boston, which states that the daily
chapel attendance, in- the period before
examinations, increases three or four
hwgdred per cent. Here is matter alike
for the preacher,-the prophet, and the
psychologist. ‘The daily chapel atten=

It used to be all marsh until the war

“made new demands: on the Philadelphia

harbor and two doéks were constructed
and Oregon avenue built as a_ feeder.
Now the B. & O. freight yards are here
and the Perishable-Freight Terminal of
the Pennsylvania. New offices are going
up and it is expected sthat’ the center of
the fruit and vegetable trade will move
down. The: Dock street buildings are
crowded and antiquated.

Case of Chickens En: Route.
_ On the way down, one of the chicken
slaughtering houses'.was passed, several
cars of live chickens standing on the
tracks. There are caretakers who travel
with these cars ‘and feed and water the
chickens. They have beds, and stoves on
which to cook their meals so that their
charges can have constant attention. Since
a bonus is paid if the: Chickens lose no
weight in thé journey, many illegal prac-
tices have grown up among these care-
takers. They stuff the chickens. with
food and gravel and: salt to make them
drink a lot of water. ‘ni New York there
is a law requiring’ the inspection of
these chickens and they hope to have
one in Philadelphia soon. The diseased
chickens are theoretically eliminated.

inspecting the prodiice and auctioning it
off.’ The tracks run alongside a big open-

| sided ‘shed where they. are unloaded.

Fighty cars can be accommodated at once.

‘on slips’ of paper, where the, lots” are
numbered.. The: bidding is by number
in’ the auction rooms upstairs. On these
lists seventy kinds of fruit and vegetables
masquerade under such names as: “‘lopes,”
“cukes” and “casbas,” for cantalopes,-cu-
cumbers and casabas: Egg plants are

‘\“E. ° Plants.”

Unfortunately— business is--slack—now
and there is no Saturday morning auc-
tion. Mr. Flottman described the
scene on regular days as a “mad-house.”

History of Vegetables.

Upstairs. in the auctions room, Mr.
Flottman gave a lecture on marketing,
tracing the history of vegetables from
the first mention of lettuce as a cure
for some disease by Caesar, and that of
artichokes preserved in vinegar and
honey. In the sixteenth century most
fruits came from Indo-China, ‘the original
home of the orange, or Persia, which
prodticel’. especially fine pears.’ Various
Mediterranean companies acted as dis-
tributing agents. He mentioned condi-
tions in Colonial days, and now how the
truck farmers are being shoved further
and further away from their ‘markets.
The food producing industry is also
specializing to a great extent. Thus the
majority of the freight received in Phila-
delphia comes from a distance, California

this is only over the, Pennsylvania and
does not include all-the othe? railroads
serving Philadelphia—with Pennsylvania
in fifth place with only 2000. The grape
crop in 1925, the last year for which
there ate government figures, was 1,900,-
000 tons, of which 92 per cent. was con-
tributed by California. Philadelphia’s
share, was 4262 car loads of grapes, of

leading with nearly 10,000° cars a. year—;-



_There are many problems: connected
with the shipping of fruit long-distandes
for which new solutions are always being.
sought. . For instance, pears shipped green

them nearly ripe and sealing them in air-
tight boxes and shipping them in refrig-
erator cars.: They preserve their taste
this way but it is extremely expensive.
The use of “dry: ice,” a. chemical that
many caterers now use for packing ice
cream, -is successful but also expensive.
In a test made with this two years ago, a

carload of fish’ sent to. Kansas City-and|

five days on the road,. arrived frozen
solid. A scheme is being- worked onto
install Frigidaires with power from the
wheels. The installation would cost $300
per car but the refrigeration would be
only about $15 per carload. Now it is
$110-115. The cost of shipping a single
car from the Pacific coast with refrigera-
tion is often from $8000-$15,000,

Basis of Freight Rates.

Mr. Flottman explained the Way in
which rates are based on the perishability
of goods graded into six divisions. Some
account of the relative weight and space
occupied by the merchandise is also taken.
Sometimes. “commodity rates” are given.
Then boat.competition is also a factor.’
Some time ago, shippers could send mer-
chandise from San Francisco by boat to
Philadelphia, then by .rail to, say, some
point in Ohio for less than the straight
railroad rate from San Francisco to that
point: Réanttifns are made on solid car-
load shipments. The I. C. C. has stepped
on a good many .of the rate-cutting
schemes. Special rates used to be given
to importers who shipped their goods
from New York. This ‘is no ‘longer al
lowed. Part of the cost to the who
country arises because: the conditions,An
New York are so poor. All freight
tebe lightered- across the harbor ;

There are many: interesting and queer
things about this business. For instance,
a car may be started out from California
with a fictitious destination. Before it

especially good somewhere else and he
orders it diverted. The railroad charges
only $3. 60 for this service. He may
find his second’ guess no better than his
first and he can’t get the price he ‘wants.
A. car may reach Philadelphia or New
York after having played six or seven
markets.

_- Varieties of Produce Freighted,—-

The Pennsylvania carried food from

forty-four States and eleven foreign
countries into Philadelphia last year. Such
odd shipments came in as twelve cars
of peanuts from China, or eight of horge-
radish from Germany.: Lemons. come
from Italy, pepper, tomatoes, egg plants
from Mexico; onions from Spain and
Egypt. Seven cars of annis arrived from
Louisiana at one time. . and the
market absorbed ‘it all! -One hundred
and fifty.cars-are handled ‘a day, not
counting the immense amount of prodtice
that comes in by-express or motor trucks.
The use of trucks has had the effect of
stabilizing the market. For instance once
last year, three hundred~baskets of mush-
rooms came in at once.
ia by railroad the market would ‘have
slumped. But, as it was, nobody knew at
the time how much was coming in and
the bu\ersy.were unable to force the
market, down.
My Flottman talked about the com-
isfion method of buying, of buying by
e crop, of the, great: associations like
the California Fruit Growers’ Association
and what-not.

After these very full and interesting
explamations, the class completed its in-
spection of the yards and traveled back
to the center of the town. The whole

that ‘all their armaments are for de-
fensive purposes. As a matter of fact,

cording to the arfn’that wields it.’ An
analytical discussion of. the question
makes essential an internafional organ-
ization that will decide the definiti6n
of the word “aggression.”

Thére are two schools of thought-on
the subject of disarmament with en-
tirely different ideas. The first, that
may be.called the Pacifistic School,
maintains that armaments, are the

cause of-wars. They make two argu-"

ments: First; that the manufacture of
armaments creates the need of a mar-
ket. Second, that the fact of a stand-
ing army.and general staff leads to the
presumption of a hypothetical adver-
for which some, neighbor is
chosen;
sary exerts a psychological effect like
that of the lamp post and the amateur
bicycle rider—it leads inevitably to a
clash,
Power Cannot Be Limited.

The solution would be complete dis-
‘but the objection to that
is that the poteritial military, power of
a nation cannot be limited.. A coun-

_ fry with vast economic resources or

exténsive credit with which to buy ma-
terial ‘can replace ‘its armaments in an
instant, while a smaller country can-
not. Disarmament: must give the
smaller nation the potential power. of

‘the large ones, and for this an inter-
‘ national institution is again necessary.

Is War the Cause of Arms? |
The second or Realistic School says
that war is the cause of armaments.
Nations remember and fear wars—
therefore they arm themselves. The

‘-only cure for-this”is*to do away with.

the causes: of war.

These are innumerable and-too long
to be listed. But the
causes is: the same. By succeeding
treaties and agreements, the world: has
become. caked in a network of many
obligations. But life progresses, and

the world outgrows these arrange-

ments; a tension arises and a conflict
occurs. This may be dealt with in two

‘ways—first by violence, a method that

What the League Has Done.

The League of Nations,
with such problems,~ has, used two
the direct and, the indirect.
Its) Permanent Advisory~ Council of
military representatives from all coun-
tries made two efforts, both by the
direct method. First it’ examined the
problem-and decided that'‘any measure
of general disarmament was impossi-
ble; then the Temporary Mixed Com-
mission tried the system of giving
each member a co-efficient number—
4, Francé 6, etc., and
multiplying the unit of forces by. that
number*for each country, This -was
also a failure. .

The indirect imethod Was attempted
by the Protocol to the Treaty,of Guar-
antee, 1924. In case of dispute there

“would take place, first voluntary arbi- |

tration, then. compulsory arbitration.
then an arbitrary judgment by the
League. It was necessary to provide

security, from ‘attack for’ weaker: na-
tions; and then disarmament could be
attempted. For all these things an in-
ternational organization would be es-
sential.

Central Power Needed.
~The question’ of. the “Outlawry of
War” was never mentioned at Geneva,
but has been much discussed in Amer-
ica. It also implies a central power;
for a nation cannot be declared out-
side, the law unless a’ law ‘exists; and
such a law must be made by interna-.
tional agreement. Then the only kind
of war that can be outlawed—is- that
between two~-nations, as dueling

word heretic means the ability to choose.

“Heresy must ‘be a constructive thing.
The student herefic is not he who thinks
with the group -which calls itself ‘radical’
but he who is sufficiently radical to dare
to think.” 3

Perhaps fhe greatest value of ‘the Con- |.

gress-as-such lies in the experience which
each delegate derives from” meeting the
delegates from other colleges. There
were nearly two hundred students rep-
resenting colleges all over the country
and as far away astHawaii. The suc-
cess of the Federation depends primarily
upon a stimulation of ‘serious thought

‘among these delegates and the interest

which they can arouse .{n their colleges.
The more the Federation is used—
through its Travel Committee, through
its other committees which hope to be-
come clearing houses of information on
the subjects which they cover—the bigger
place’ it will have in campus life and the
more useful it can be.

International Connection.

There is no doubt that*the most im-
portant phase of the Federation is its
international connection’ with the C. I. E.
But to be a member of that organization,
there must be a national -union, There
are problems in which all students in
this colintry aré interested and in which
they find discussion with others who
have..those. problems profitable. even
though their ‘own ‘situation requires its
individual solution. The N. S. F. A. is
the instrument at*hand for this co-opera-
tive use. .

As a. host, the University of Nebraska
left nothing to be desired. The delegates
lived in. fraternity and. sorority houses.
_The green badge which we all wore acted
as open sésaine~to—social or any other
-events. Next year the Congress is to”be
at the University of Missouri, It was
strongly recommended, though no resolu-
tion was-passed on the subject, that the
college should send at least otie Junior
as a delegate or observer.

defeated by the Seniors in water polo
on Monday. The score Was 10-1. In
spite of the best that’ Seligman, ’30’s
goal, could do—and it was a
good bes’'—goal after goal was made
for 28 by their strong forwards. ‘Pet-
tit had little trouble to do in guarding
the Senior goal, because her dppo-
nents seldom had the ball and when
they did get it, could not keep it long
enough to shoot. Their one goal was

Why we are

For some years we have’
been adverti: ing toCollege |
Men. Our ‘selling appeal’’
has been based on the fact
that a telephonechat with: -

cure-all for those away-

from-home ills. And a
mighty good appeal it is, °
too. sit w w

Due,.no doubt, to a lack of
knowledge of Feminine
Psychology, our first year
in college went by with-
out an attempt to sell
young women the idea of
a weekly chat with the
folks athome. ¥ ¥° ¥
. Then one day a charming
young lady, the business
manager of her College
paper, paid us a visit. ‘°You
are quite right,’’said she,
‘*when you say that young
men away from home are
less thoughtful and less
likely to keep in touch
with their parents with-
out urging than College
Women,”— ¥.”" *
“But”... and then she
~ told-us a few things about
the psychology of College
Women which we had,
we must confess, never
known before. .” ¥
So... that is why we are
here; and that is why we
say to you—‘* Number,
