A Course
i Peace .. .
LAST THURSDAY NIGHT at eight
o'clock, about 150 students gath-
ered in the Union ballroom at a meeting of the
Student Senate to decide just what they could
do for the cause of peace. And although the ideas
brought forward were heterogeneous in charac-
ter, yet it was acknowledged by all (Isolationists,
Pacifists, and believers in the League of Nations)'
that the primary step necessary must be in the
direction of education.
One of the speakers brought forward the idea
of a University course in peace to be taught with
credit. The University, he said, grants credit
for a course in making war, namely the R.O.T.C.
Why shouldn't it as a liberal institution give a
course in the causes and the various schemes pro-
mulgated for the elimination of war?
At first sight this proposition may seem foolish,
but after careful consideration it assumes a sig-
nificant and worthwhile aspect. The R.O.T.C.
makes no bones about its accomplishing its pur-
pose of preparing the student for war. Its methods
of obtaining an enrollment are quite well known.
There is no reason why the peace movement should
not adopt some of these tactics to accomplish
its purpose of preparing the student to prevent
war. Not compulsion, monetary considerations,
horseback riding and the recruiting of pretty girls
as "sponsors," but perhaps college credits and an
Orientation Week speech to freshmen like the one
given by the R.O.T.C. showing the advisability of
taking a course in peace instead of military train-
ing.
"But," some people say, "how can you give a
University course in peace when even those people
who feel for peace from the very fibres of their
being are undecided as to just what is the best way
to eliminate war?" The purpose of this course
would not be to present the universal panacea for
international disputes. Its prime intention, and an
intention fraught with significance, would be to
make students think.
Just how could this be accomplished? It is
very simple. The program would start in the
freshman year with a study of the horrors of war.
This would be quite effective in pointing out to
potential cannon fodder the necessity for prevent-
ing war. The course might consist of reading
plays and novels like Remarque's The Road Back,
Sheriff's Journey's End, Peace on Earth (the play
that produced a sensation last year on Broad-
way) and showing moving pictures like All Quiet
on the Western Front and realistic photographs
portraying what hell war really is. The course
might also include a visit through one of the hos-
pitals wherein men, burned out, crippled, wander
hopelessly about waiting for the death that un-
luckily passed them by eighteen years ago.
Proceeding from this study of the horrors of
war, the next field of inquiry would be in the
causes of war, .economic, psychological, political,
including a study of actual wars and how they
came about. This could then be followed by a
complete and analytical investigation of the va-
rious solutions offered for the problem.
This field of study would not favor any one
plan. It would maintain the scientific principle
of impartial observation leaving the final deduc-
tion to each individual student. It would include
an examination of international cooperation with a
study of the Hague Tribunal, League of Nations,
and disarmament. It would include an examina-
tion of neutrality legislation, so called "isolation,"
and that ever-present dilemma, which has already
impaled this nation upon its horns several times,
namely, "freedom of the seas." And it would in-
clude an investigation into "taking the profits out

An Expression
Of Confidence. . .
ARTICLES on inundated flood areas
and the storm-lashed South gave
way on many front pages the country over yes-
terday when eleven people crashed to their death
in an air liner in the mountains of western Penn-
sylvania. The sorrow that this misfortune brought
to the families of the business men, prep school
students and other victims of the accident can-
not be overlooked by the reading public. However,
another tragic blow was struck by that crash which
will cause extended suffering. It is the set-back
which will be felt in the youthful and promising
wield of commercial aviation. The spectacular
nature inherent in an airplane wreck causes many
people to shudder and make unthinking remarks
about the host of dangers involved in air travel.
Innovations in numerous fields have had to sur-
vive the same mistaken impressions which the
public is prone to cherish and persist in believing
until long after the worth of the innovation has
been given adequate proof. The annals of science
give a starting record of public disapprovals that
were later shown to be unjustified. In the field
of transportation, the train and the automobile
are both instances of inventions which were ac-
cepted reluctantly, if at all, by the indifferent
public of that day. More than two decades elapsed
between the time when a locomotive was used to
haul coal and when it was first used to carry pas-
sengers. The "horseless carriage" was for years
regarded as a rich man's toy which had no po-
tentialities.
Though commercial aviation has passed out of
its infancy, it is far from robust and needs in-
telligent appreciation in order to grow into a more
useful maturity. It is admittedly not immune
to mishaps but it is a healthy indication that new
safety records are frequently being set, such as
one made in the first part of last year in which
scheduled air lines had 40,713,686 passenger-miles
per passenger fatality. Though science is striding
ahead every day, making advances in aeronautics
and related fields, it is necessary for public senti-
ment on air travel to keep in touch with these
efforts and accomplishments. This can be done
by a more sympathetic and understanding inter-
pretation of the tendencies in commercial aviation.
Accidents like Tuesday's should not be calmly con-
doned and considered unavoidable nor should they
cause hysterical and narrow-minded criticisms to
be directed toward commercial aviation. Instead,
such an accident should be regarded as a serious
challenge to a promising industry which owes
much of its phenomenal rise to the courageous
acceptance of just such challenges.

They hear her footsteps. And the grass
Of fields and meadows sees her pass
On tireless quests. Where rivers bend
And oceans wait and wide lands end;
The miles that wind from shore to shore -
They know the Lady Eleanor.
What seeks the Lady Eleanor
In her wide quests from shore to shore?
She seeks the faltering heart, and they
Who bear the burden of the day,
The steps that lag, the faiths that fail
In the bleak hovels of travail,
The eyes that sorrow dims with tears,
The soul that cringes in its fears,
And all who in the shadows grope
To find the vanished door of hope.
So fares she with a word of cheer
To leave in places dark and drear,
And with a smile that leaves a light
Like sunlight through the gloom of night.
Upon her quest from shore to shore
So fares the Lady Eleanor.
Fairness to Germany compels us to commend
Propaganda Minister Goebbels for his suggestion
that there will be no public meetings and demon-
stration until April 19. That means no public
speeches. Maybe if the truce is successful it will
be permanent. But probably only in Utopia will
there be neither oratory nor listeners to oratory.
We don't understand the mathematics of diplo-
macy, let alone the language of it. Herr von
Ribbentrop said that the Germans couldn't possibly
complete the Rhineland fortifications in four
months, the term of the proposed truce. Well,
said Sir Anthony Eden -who is one gentleman
we can understand - why not promise not to
work on the fortfications? Maybe Herr von
Ribbentrop thinks that that would mean a truce
of eight months; and that, after all, a joke is a
joke.

I must admit that I can see nix

It seems to us that the band that played the
farewell music to General Sir Thomas Astley
Cubitt, retiring Governor of Bermuda, is dis-
loyal to Great Britain. The band, the Hamilton
cable says, played "Danny Boy" and "We Won't
Go Home Until Morning." The first is the Lon-
donderry tune, an Irish air, beginning "Would
God I were the tender apple blossom," and the
second is the French "Malbrouck."

THE YOUTH IN THE RED SHIRT
By MARY SAGE MONTAGUE
"REVOLT," says Francis Hackett in
the current issue of the Saturday
Review of Literature, "is in the air.
And it is symbolized by the young
revolutionist who wears the red shirt,
and dreams of a new social order."
But Mr. Hackett looks too super-
ficially at the situation. For while he
understands the pseudo-communism,
the aspects of sentiment and romanti-
cism which draw the impressionable
youth to the party, he does not seem
to understand the attitude of the sin-
cere communist for whom revolution is
a stern business, and not a 'symptom
of young American dream life.' He
acknowledges that between the young
communist and the great figures of
Marx and Lenin there is all the dif-
ference between sentiment and tough
emotion, but he ignores the large
group that lies between the dil-
letantes and the leaders which is try-
ing to put communism on a working
basis.
Nevertheless, he does appeciate
the growing interest in communism
on the part of the youth of America.
and with no mumbo-jumbo speeches
about the 'red menace,' he discusses
its influence on their thought.
The revolt, he says, has been re-
flected in literary criticism. In Eng-
land criticism is still largely in the
hands of the colleges, but in America
it has become professional rather'
than professorial. "The old guard
could only dogmatize and r'epress, and
a class outside theil'influence was
r'ising in America, asking to be guided
in the new maze of urban life." But
the question might well be asked, is
criticism made morewvalid for that?
Are the professional writers better
equipped than the professors to judge
literature, or does the validity of crit-
icism depend in essence onl the align-
ing of literature with certain ideals?
The youth in the red shirt, Hackett
believes, knows what the ideals are.
"He wants a life in which he can
really consult his own preferences, on
the assumption that his preferences
are worth consulting." And although
communism might not bring the free-
d om he wants, he sees it in the in-
terest of 'a larger final liberation.'
At present the approach to the ideal
is through the depreciation of the
status quo, but here again dilletantism
is confused with sincerity. A great
deal of contemporary literature is con-
cerned only with depreciation, a tear-
ing down of old beliefs, with no sub-
stitution of new ones. The problem
of revolt, therefore, resolves itself into
more than a refined iconoclasm. There
must be an ideal for struggle and
from the realization of this ideal will
come the truly great literature of the
future. Mr. Hackett's young man in
the red shirt may well be its author,
but not until he has proved more defi-
nitely that he knows what the struggle
is all about-
THE SCREEN
AT THE MAJESTIC
'THE THREE MUSKETEERS'
An RKO picture with Walter Abel,
Margot Grahame, Paul Lukas, Ian
Keith, Heather Angel. and others. Also
a cartoon, musical short, and Hearst
newsreel.
This is an undistinguished version
of a story almost too familiar to
arouse much excitement, especially if
there is nothing novel in either con-
cept 01' performance.
Walter Abel's acting is obvious al-
most to the point of being ridiculous,
and Heather Angel makes one realize'
how adequate the word "ham" can be
in certain instances. Margot Gra-
'hame and Ian Keith, both villainous,
do the best jobs.
Hollywood's usual difficulty in films
of foreign setting-the inability of all
the characters to pronounce a name
in the same way-is again evident.
The film's chief appeal comes with
the dueling and horseback riding. It
is an effete form of Western, with
the queen replacing the rancher's
pretty daughter, and the cowboys
foregoing bandanas. -R.A.C.

Haven hall or the Western Portion of
the Natural Science Building, is called
to the fact that parking cars in the
driveway between these two buildings
is at all times inconvenient to other
users of the drive and sometimes re-
sults in positive danger to other dri-
vers and to pedestrians on the diag-
onal and other walks. You are re-
spectfully asked not to park there
and if members of your family call
for you, especially at noon when traf-
fic both on wheels and on foot is
heavy, it is especially urged that the
car wait for you in the parking space
adjacent to the north door of Uni-
versity Hall. Waiting in the drive-
way blocks traffic and involves con-
fusion, inconvenience, and actual
danger just as much as when a person
is sitting in a car as if the car is
parked emptly.

No Future Chiselers
THE FIRST NUMBER
To the Editor:
..
A chapter of the Veterans of Future Wars is
about to be organized on the campus. Lest there
be hue and cry and Congressional investigation
later, precautions should be taken immediately
to eliminate and nip in the bud all chiselers now, at
the beginning. In their enthusiasm to enroll
members the sponsors should jealously limit mem-
bership only to the tried and true. No Kentuckyf
Colonels for Michigan.
First, the R.O.T.C. gets precedence over all other'
comers. All conscientious objectors are barred
from membership. All pacifists are likewise ipso
facto barred. Rigid questioning should be insti-
tuted to trap future draft dodgers and all suspects
should be only provisionally enrolled. Former
members of the N.S.L. and present members of
the Student Alliance should be allowed to join
only if they swear on oath to bear arms. (Profes-
sors must not, under any circumstances, whatever
their previous record, be admitted unless a like
oath is received). With these precautions taken,
chiseling should be kept at a minimum and the
integrity and good faith of the Michigan Con-
tingent be unquestioned. The "free baseball"
provision in the original Articles should be deleted
lest suspicion be cast upon the sincerity of the
membership.
An auxiliary Intelligence corps should be formed
at once to conduct secret investigation of profi-
teers of future wars, future spies, embryo muni-{
tions factories sabotageurs, and others of this
ilk whose chief aim would be to stab in the back
our boys Over There. Distance to Washington
from Ann Arbor should be measured at once for
the Bonus March and accommodations reserved
in advance to prevent the recurrence of the in-
hospitable reception of 1932.
A word now to the Gold Star Mothers. All girls
now intending to give their boy friends the "go
by" or those who are "two-timing" future vet-
erans are ineligible for membership. Also those
unfortunates whose male friends now have in-;
tentions other than honorable are, unfortunately,
likewise, ineligible.
-Edmund Bochenek, '36.
Not even Phi Beta Kappa headquarters knows
the official grip of that organization.
When a member's father needed a transfusion
recently, the entire University of Minnesota chap-
ter of Delta Kappa Epsilon offered blood.
Little Mrs. Ames went strutting across the stage
of the high school auditorium in her wedding
dress. It was a darned big evening when Mrs.
Ames wore her wedding dress. Being somewhat
short of stature, she had the immense dignity of
Bishop Manning, her head, with its high piled
coils of hair; her neck, encased in a stiffly boned
net collar, seeming to stretch her up at least an
extra five inches. The piano saw her coming and
cringed. If it had had a tail that tail would have
sunk dejectedly between its legs. As it was, the
piano's teeth chattered, for it dreaded that first
crashing chord.
Behind Mrs. Ames marched Miss Turner, thin
and crackling and virginal in white net over
taffeta. Massed in tiered chairs on the stage was
the Emma Calve Club, which was about to give its
annual spring concert. Comfortable fat matrons in
unfashionable frocks, awaiting the first uplift of
Miss Turner's baton. They loved to sing, and their
innocent round faces and obvious delight almost
compensated for the thin, reedy voices rasping
forth in " 'Tis thy wedding morning, la, la, la."
That baton gave Miss Turner an indescribably
rollicking air, almost Bacchanalian. Of all the
misfits Miss Turner and the baton were the most
regrettable. During the week, when not working
for Miss Turner and the Emma Calve Club, it did
duty for the Buckeye Ditcher Band, a distinctly
masculine organization of braying brass and tump-
ing drums. An aroma of masculinity clung to
the baton, and Miss Turner, sensing it, grasped
it loosely while she waved it vaguely about, faint
disapproval expressed as she tilted her head away
distastefully.
When the Emma Calve Club arose to sing there
was a great creaking of corsets and a shuffling of
good low-heeled black shoes. Each good lady wore
a corsage of garden flowers pinned upside down
on her left shoulder. Miss Turner raised her baton
helplessly, Mrs. Ames struck the piano a good,
smashing blow, the matrons opening their mouths,
revealed some excellent bridge work, the husbands
or offspring in the audience sat rigid, looking only
at "mother," the first number got off to a good
start, and the Emma Calve Club gotinto its
stride. Weeks of anxious preparation culminated
in happy realization. And who among you shall
say that Euterpe did not smile kindly down upon
Hancock County in the innocent '90s. Bless it!
