Hearst, while declining to answer the questions in the yes nd no fashion, did, however, state Jis own beliefs as to what consti-tutes “visionary and what practical and patriotic internationalism.” You will remember that while he announces himself as a pacifist he does not favor immediate disarmament or any plan which might sacrifice the safety of our own nation or the interests of our own people in benefiting the people of the earth. He does not hesitate to

This afternoon at 2:30 there will be a Freshman class meeting held in the auditorium. Every Freshman student is required to be at this meeting.

Other important business will be discussed, and plans will be made for the runoff election for the vice-presi-dency of the Freshman class.

The second meeting of the newly organized Interfraternity Council was held Wednesday afternoon at the Phi Epsilon Pi Fraternity house. The organization, which had its advent two weeks ago at a luncheon meeting at which Dr. Ashe was host, has been formed for the purpose of aiding fraternity life on this campus. With this distinct purpose in mind it is also coordinating fraternity life for the benefit of the University proper.
Although at the present time only five social fraternities comprise its membership, the organization is being built in view of the additional campus fraternities that will make their appearance with the subsequent increased enrollment of our institution. At the first meeting, which was held at the San Sebastian Hotel, Dr. Ashe appointed Emerson Fahrney to act as chairman and Stanley B. Rose, secretary, until permanent officers have been elected.
Delegates to the council include the president and one other representative member of each fra-(Please turn to page two)

Fundamentally, we cannot help but dislike the system which this

You may fight with each other, or assist in the defense, or even climb, if you so desire. It is nee-(Please turn to page two)

JOINT RECITAL TO BE GIVEN THIS EVENING
practicality of this man’s opinions on the subject of internationalism we cannot help but side with his opinions.
In the past this column has contended against the opinions of so-called “student pacifists.” In sid- official ing with Mr. Hearst on this particular issue we are once again conflicting with the editorial opinions of the majority of college editors.
It has been stated before in this column that when world wide peace comes it will come as on evolution not as a revolution. Peaceful methods can only beget peace.
When this ideal is finally realized the myth of nationalism will necessarily be substituted for by the myth of internationalism.
But this day, much as we dislike admitting it, is far distant. ,
The concept of nationalism must be abolished through education, and this, we know, is a long process. To even consider abolishing armaments as a nation is at this time absolutely impractical. Ethically, yes; ethically we would be justified to become the leader in such a worthy cause. Theoretically» yes; but practically, the world is not ready for such a move.
Even as this is written war appears eminent in southern Europe; what greater proof would we have °f the inability of the world today |° sponsor such a move We reiterate the fact that international Peace cannot be realized without the abolishment of nationalism but neither can it be realized while Pcejudism and hates and personal enmities are still a part of our Personal makeup.

Professor McNicoll, long an advocate of this type of social relationship, is acting on the advisory board so that he might further the interest among the students on matters of the day.
This group will meet in one of the class rooms of the University, and their meetings will be conducted in a very informal manner. The term, “Glorified Bull Session will be applied adequately to the meetings.
