S I SEE I By KENNETH HONHOLT As we Americans look at the war situation in Europe the outlook for an early peace seems to be getting more and more remote. Each side seems determined to carry the war to an end, and it now is a question of which can hold out longer. NEGOTIATED PEACE NOT POSSIBLE Both Great Britain and France want this war to end in a decisive victory and not in a negotiated peace (an attitude which can be easily understood). The treaty of Versailles was signed before the people of Germany realized that their army had been defeated. Now Hitler and his aides point to the unfair treatment of Germany b> the treaty. If peace could be nego- tiated tomorrow, the German peo- ple twenty years from now would be raising the same cry: that they were treated unfairly. The one great objective of Ger- many is to dominate Europe. The only terms on which she could afford to make peace would be those which would leave her in fuli control of the continent of Europe. The idea that her people have been taught to believe is that a certain race is superior in every way to other races, and that that race, therefore, is entitled to special rights and advantages. Civilized peoples had gone a long way towards ridding their thinking of this idea when Hitler revived it with his Nordic myth. T. S. PRESSURE GROUPS FAIL All around us we see a steady pressure of propaganda being brought to bear upon the people of this country in an effort to divide it into antagonistic racial groups. So far, the common sense of the American people has resisted these efforts to stir up racial prejudices. It is hard to see how we, as a democratic country, could gain any- thing by taking an active part as a fighting force in this war. There is no point in any nation's going to war unless it stands in danger of losing something precious by not fighting or gains something by fighting. England and France are both re- ceiving a great deal of help, in the way of munitions and airplanes, from America. If Germany could come and get war materials and pay cash for them we would have to do the same with her. However, it is impossible for her to do that; but, with characteristic German logic, the Germans are accusing America of discriminating against them. SHOULD STAY OUT OF EUROPE If Germany should win the war. which is not impossible, we might find ourselves in trouble (for which we might as well prepare). Hut we would lose more than we could pos- sibly gain by becoming a belliger- ent in the present free-for-all, which, as I see it, is none of our affair. 25 Birthday Dormites Feted With Faculty Voorhees Hall entertained fac- ulty guests Wednesday, April 10. at its spring birthday dinner.

Albion Team Wins Neutrality Debate On First Forensic Day

Climaxing the forensic year on this campus, Hope debated Albion over neutrali ty on the first annual Forensic day, March 27, to lose by a one-to-two vote of the three Western State Teachers college judges.

The winners, Tom Brock and Les-lie Fleming of Albion, upheld the affirmative side, advocating isola-tion. Robert Bonthius, Pasadena, Cal., senior, and Anthony Dykstra , Orange City, Iowa, junior, took the negative for Hope.

Wi: W E R E P L E A S E D to learn last week that Holland will have the privilege of hear ing some of the finest a r t i s t s in the U. S. John Car ter , famous tenor, will open next year 's concert series. Later , the Ionian Singers and the Kreuter tr io will appear . Since, in the past , Holland has had, with a few ex-ceptions, those a r t i s t s which would not be considered in the "first rank," we can consider this a splen-

did privilege.

But don't you think we should be a bit careful about the atti-tude we take in regard to these past concerts? I was as pleased as anybody else to learn that we will hear only the best ar-tists from now on, but I couldn't help recalling an opin-ion which the French writer, Sainte-Beuve, expressed. He wrote; "Nothing is more dis-gusting than the disdain with which people often treat artists of the second rank, as if there were a place only for those of the first."

Few Perform Flawlessly

During the past few years, it has become increasingly easy for us to hear the very best artists in the world, both because of radio and the greater number of concert courses. But at the same time there

appreciated. There is only a small a ' m ()f ^ to see campus and stu-group of people who will ever have <lent needs and to initiate new pro-

the abili ty to per form flawlessly, but this does not mean that they alone deserve an audience.

Some of the early European symphonies of ten gave inferior per formances ; yet do you sup-

pose that the audiences did not love and enjoy the music? In many European towns today there are o p e r a companies which are not of the first rank. But the people support them and enjoy them. And who, do you think, apprecia tes great music more deeply, we or they?

Fooling Ourselves

g r a m s to fill these gaps. But Y has carried the burden of sponsoring a project only until some more spe-cialized organizat ion or group has

risen up to shoulder the responsi-bility.

Dr. Slutz par t icular ly advocated Until now our whole outlook on spr ing , as f a r as clothes a re con-

At th i s t ime all events in the local spor t world a re f u t u r e ones. T h e end of the sp r ing vacation usual ly marks the be-ginning of ser ious t r a in ing fo r t h e sp r ing sports . Noth ing impor tan t has been done yet, with t he resul t that the re is very l i t t le to be said about the appearance, per formance , or chances of the various teams. The tennis men will soon be out-

doors. Track and baseball men who have been prac t ic ing inside will t ake a l i t t le sun, and the golfers will plod the local course in rain, snow, mud or h igh water .

Coach Jack Schouten wishes to have his warn ing repeated that no man will be allowed to enter the dis tance runs in the May day in t e r - f r a t e rn i t y meet who has not t rained at least two weeks. Anyone who really expects to make a show should have at least this amount of t raining, regardless of t h e event. Last year ' s one-man track team and high-point man, Bud Ferr i s , is not here, thus making it possible f o r the firsts to be be t te r d is t r ibuted. Fer r i s m a d e enough points alone to put the Knickerbockers in second place, ta l lying 41 of 43 points for his house. Those who come th rough this

meet with a certain amount of glory and enough "oomph" to enter another , should make likely dele-ga te s to the MI A A field day. With the present f amine of t r ack men and funds , m a t e r i a l mus t be squeezed of i ts last drop of worth to the school.

As for schedules, none has been set as yet for the wing-foots. The first meet will be held at Kazoo, May 5, less than a week before t h e May day here (if you train for the May day, you might just as easily enter the meet at Kazoo) but beyond tha t , nothing definite is scheduled until the Field day. The baseball t eam has no definite

schedule. The golf team will s ta r t t he season with Hillsdale the re on May 3, then Alma here May 10, Albion there . May 13, Kazoo here May 18, O t t awa here May 20, and Grand Rapids Jun io r some time in this month.

The tennis team is making matches in the league only, also due to a small amount of finances. May 7, the team will meet Alma t h e r e May 10, Kazoo the re May 13, Albion here, and May 17 Olivet there . Hillsdale and Adrian have not replied.

We Suggest . . . if you're afraid you can'i

get a job, read Prof. .Walter B. Pit-kin's series of articles in "Liberty," entitled, "There Is a Job for You" — very encouraging.

. . . If you're within box office range of "Key Largo" by Max-well Anderson give yourself the opportunity of seeing Paul Muni on the legitimate stage. The play IS thought-provok-ing, to say the least. . . . despite all ads for that out-

of-doors complexion, it doesn't come in a box or a bag unless it's a shooting box or a golf bag.

. . . that y o u a n d I will b r e a k down Y E T and buy wedgies. Next year we'll look back and wonder why we ever allowed ourselves to be so un-comfortable in spiked heels.
