C° The tone of that one-third of
ur column in which you dealt yjth the problem of student paci-1m seemed to indicate that you re considerably hostile to the movement. That pacifists are numerous you are forced to admit; that they know how to attain their objectives you deny, and therefore criticise their tactics, hut offer no substitutes.
One thing seems clear. You are not quite familiar with the packet; movement in the schools of the country. Repeated ridicule of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps Units has gained supporters in many institutions throughout the country, and in several has lead to abolition of compulsory military training requirements. In the largest high school in the world, DeWitt Clinton, of New York City, with 12,000 students, an anti-war strike was barely averted by the stringent declarations of the principal. Before long these students will succeed in preventing any portion of their General Organization funds from going to the R.O.T.C. In other schools similar pacifist sentiment nets positive results. You must have read of the many student parades during anti-war week.
Contrary to your written word, soap-box oratory has accomplished a good deal in the student pacifist movement. At Harvard, New York University, Columbia, C. C. N. Y., and numerous other colleges where the student body is alert to the Problems of the day, soap-box orators are familiarly seen. I have seen faculty members, including heads of departments at these institutions, participating in street rallies, and voicing their approval, or sometimes disapproval, of different student movements. This is j* healthy sign, for when the soap-ox is used as a platform for speakers throughout the country, ®nd open discussion takes place, ,en wiU we have an intelligent, aert electorate.

Rollins College Saturday
Team To Make Trip Upstate To Take Part In Return Meet
Victorious in their first meet of the season over Rollins College last Saturday at the Biltmore Pools by the score of 32-28, the colorful Hurricane aquatic squad will attempt to make it two straight over their state rivals when the team journeys to Winter Park Saturday in a return engagement.
Paced by Captain Marshall Wayne, second ranking diving star of the United States, the Hurricanes won in brilliant style Saturday over their highly touted opponents and firmly established themselves as the outstanding aquatic team in the State of Florida. Wayne and his men hope to defeat Rollins again when the two teams meet in the upstate schools backyard tomorrow, while Rollins hopes to avenge their earlier defeat at the hands of the Hurricane stars.
Besides Wayne, other team members who will compete at Rollins tomorrow, are Ernie Duhaime, Jack Burr, Bill Maloney, Ted Fry, and Reggie Wilson. Jack Daly, manager of the team, will accompany the team to Winter Park.

Student Body Watches Race With Interest
Odds Even For Presidency; Candidates Speak At Assembly
Today is election day and shortly after 4:30 o’clock the results will be known and another student body election will have come and gone, with the usual ballyhoo, talks, and political promises.
The eyes are upon the office of president of the student body, which is being contested by Pat Cesarano and Dutch Bierkamper.
More interest, however is being manifest in the three cornered race for vice-president. It is predicted that before either Mary Louise Dorn, Roxie Lewis or James Mool win this office there will have to be a run off election. According to the student constitution, in order for a candidate to win, he must receive a majority of the votes cast.
The race for secretary and treasurer has narrowed down to two candidates. Olga Minor has withdrawn and will leave the field to Mary Frances Roberts and Lois Taylor.
No interest is being shown in the race for chief justice, prosecuting attorney, and associate justices, as the nominees are unopposed. James Henderson will be the new chief justice; Ernie Duhaime, prosecuting attorney, and Milton Weiss, Eleanor Miksitz, Sara Klefeker, Frances Day, Ev-erette Burdick, and Robert Turner, associate justices.
Yesterday, in assembly, candidates spoke giving their platforms and qualifications.
The polls will close at 3 :30 p.m. There is to be no campaigning within 50 feet of the voting precinct which will be held in the room across from the President’s office. These boudaries are from the central stairway to the radio room. A committee appointed from the senate will take charge of the election.
Annual Staff Urging Students To Co-operate
Publication of Ibis Held Up Until Advertising Fund Is Increased
Ibis board members are uniting with the business staff this week in urging the students to co-operate in a drive to raise three hundred dollars to make possible the publishing of an Ibis. At the present time the book is ready to go to press but there are not sufficient funds available to complete publication.
This will be the first Ibis put out for three years, the last two editions being merely year books. Plans have been made for a larger and more elaborate annual than has been seen for some time and many interesting features are being incorporated. It will consist of 120 pages.
If the aforementioned campaign is a success the Ibis will be out the first of June. Any suggestions as to potential advertisers will be welcomed by Jack Daly and Harold Humm and commission will be paid to any students closing a contract.
