BIG C O N F A BCarnegie Fund Provides Noted
Speakers For Two Days Of Parley
A conference of International Relations Clubs from the Pacific Southwest will be held at Occidental collegc, Los Angeles, Calif., November 6 and 7 by invitation of that college and in cooperation with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Five students of the local chapter of this peace club: Orley Pen- dorgraft, Harold Cushman, Rosalia Rees, Dorothy Fain and Daisy Swatzell, will leave the campus on Wednesday to represent Flagstaff at this meet.
Members of the college Relations club, together with club sponsor Dean Tinsley, have been working for weeks to see their plans for representation realized. By selling hot dogs and cold drinks a t two home football games and by selling sandwiches in the girls' halls they have raised sufficient funds to defray expenses. Daisy Swatzell kindly consented to furnish her car for the trip.
The above mentioned delegates have all been active in meetings and movements sponsored by the local club and have prepared themselves to take an active part in the round table discussions at Occidental. Each member has been assigned a topic for discussion and will trade views with visiting delegates from a score of colleges throughout the Southwest.
The principal guest speaker will be Dr. Josef L. Kunz, a distinguished international lawyer who will attend as a guest from the Endowment. Miss Amy Heminway Jones* division assistant of the Endowment, who is in charge of the International Relations club work, will attend and take part in the program a s ‘the Endowment’s representative.
The purpose of the Endowment in undertaking this work is to educate and enlighten public opinion. As Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of the Endowment, states officially, it is not to support any single view as how beat to treat the conditions which now prevail throughout the world, but to fix the attention of students on those underlying principles of international conduct, of international law, and of international' organization which must be agreed upon and applied if peaceful civilization is to continue.
Dr. Kunz, the Carnegie Endowment guest speakers is well known both in Europe and in the United States. He is a graduate of the University of Vienfta and has studied at the Universities of Paris and Berlin. From 1920 to 1932 he was juridicial director of the Austrian League of Nations Bociety and at-

Contests

These teams, together with the coach, will go to Tempe on November 12 and will debate there oa the 13th against other lower division teams, men and women. “On November 14 upper division teams will debate, but Flagstaff will have no entry in this dviision, much to our regret,” states Dr. Hill. “Our opponents will be from the University of Arizona, A. S. T. C. at Tempe, Phoenix Junior college and Gila Junior college. We may take one man scout for us,” further commented Dr.-Hill.

Flagstaff is the Alpha chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, and is one of two chapters in New Mexico and Arizona.
The next engagement is in Pasadena, Calif., November 22-26, bn- der the direction of the Western Association of Speech. The plans for it have been made by J. P. Baccus of Redlands university, who calls the meeting “the perfect tournament" for at that tournament there will be four classes of debate contests and also oratorical and extemporaneous contests. “We shall enter Class C in the debate contests without limitation
the number of teams," Dr. Hill said, “and hope to enter two women’s teams and at least one man’s team. Mabel McKnight will enter the oratorical contest.”

Lumberjacks Haven t Time To Go To SchoolBy C. E. B.
Here’s one for Ripley, and believe it or not it’s more truth than poetry: Lumberjacks haven’t time to go to school.
Colleges the world over bemoan the fact that their student bodies
‘ "haven’t time to study.” The annals of educational history are chock full with reverberating stories of poor old educators who went to early graves caused by the “haven't time to study” alibi. And many are the teachers left bristling with prematurely gray hair and n e r v o u s prostration—the scapegoats to an alibying host of well I-meaning students.
Poor old schoolteachers. Theirs is a hard row to hoe, and many are the eulogies, elegies, and obituaries that herald their loyal services in bold-faced type. Now, for the first time, a lowly student mathematician j u g g l e s figures (taught him by gray-haired professors) and proves decisively that student alibiers—at least some of them—do have justifiable grounds for sleeping in classes or not even attending.
Figured on a six day week (which is all that should concern a college) there are, at best, only six times 24 or 144 hours in said week. (Even the New Deal could
not give us more than 24 hours to the day).
The average Lumberjack football player works 21 hours a week, practices football three hours a day five days a week or 15 hours total, and spends three hours o week in the week-end games. He spends nine hours a week taking his meals, six hours a week shaving, washing, dressing and undressing and four hours a week going to and from classes (that he doesn’t have time to go to).*
Since a football player must sleep, we allow him a measly 48 hours, and have to further cramp his style by allowing him only five
hours a week for campus clubs and organizations. Since it has been decreed that a student shall spend two hours study for every hour carried, our Lumberjacks thus lose 32 more precious hours. Totaling the above we get 143 hours, which leaves our poor pigskin packers only one hour per week for “queening” (a horribly insufficient period) and NO TIME TO ATTEND CLASSES.
The world is looking for a politician whose platform offers us a 30 hour day, but until he arrives Lumberjack alibies for not attending classes will have to stand approved as given.
Roosevelt Is Easy Winner At College
If the nation’s voters follow the trend set by the A. S. T. C. Lumberjacks in their preelection “straw vote” of last Wednesday, we can look to see Flanklin D. Roosevelt elected for a second term by a sweeping landslide in the national election held today.
While a consensus of (Republican) newspapers are spreading “political jam” as fast as their progenitors can write it; and while mdd-slinging demigods drag democracy through the quagmire of yellow-faced scandal-sheets, the Flagstaff State college student body voted 193 to 66 to return Roosevelt to office.
Of the four presidential canT didates listed on the student ballot, Roosevelt’s 193 votes placed him an easy winner over Landon with 66. Thomas with 4, and Lempke with 2 votes.
In the gubernatorial race the democrats again polled a victory when Stanford received 159 to Campbell’s 91 votes.
PICK OFFICERS FORLOCALPLAN TO END U.S. WARGold And Burkhart Selected
To lead .Qaaipus Anti-war Movement
Chosen to act as co-chairmah, Lawrence Gold and Edgar Burkhart will lead the local peace nr- ganization in its drive to help keep the United States out of war.
The organization was started Wednesday evening at a meeting held at the ’ Federated church, where all students interested in peace were asked^o attend by Mr. Cassidy, representative of the Emergency Peace campaign organization. Mr. Cassidy addressed the college students in the assembly last Wednesday, and lectured to the business and economics students during the two o’clock class that day.
The locdl organization will a ttempt to awaken the people of Flagstaff to the possibilities of a war in the near future, and to i n cite the interest of local citizens so that political pressure may be brought about from this district.
The purpose of the Emergency Peace campaign is to promote a co-operative nation-wide campaign to keep the United States from going to war and to achieve world peace by strengthening pacific alternatives to armed conflict; by bringing about such political and economic changes as are essential to j> just and peaceable world order; by recruiting and uniting in a dynamic movement all organizations and individuals who are determined not to approve of or participate in war—unless the United States is invaded, and the war is a defensive one; by acquainting peace-minded people with the program and policies of the member organizations of the National Peace conference and other peace groups.
