What could have motivated our presi- dent to make such a speech? 15 it possible that he wished to shunt our line of thought away from domestic problems? Can his statements car- ry much weight, since they have been so tardy in arriving? True, the way is now paved for strengthened diplomatic relations be— tween Great Britain, France, and the United States; but what effect will this have upon stopping Japan, Italy, and Germany now? Decisive action is our only solution. For too long now, the nations in which democracy flourishes haVe been ”twelfth hour" nations. They allow themselves to be pushed too far before they pro- test. They cannot cope with those nations whose diplomatic policies are dictated by one man. Pacifists are really in a dilemma. How can peace be preserved in a world where hate is purposely incited and consequent- ly flourishes freely, where inhuman- ity has reached a new.high, where the sanctity of treaties is almost un- heard of, or where international law is repeatedly violated? CAN’T WE arouse ourselves to realize that unless we do something now besides fold our hands and sur- vey the world situation that we are preparing the way to a great con— flict, and that the more time we give Hitler and Mussolini, the stronger they will be? Then what will stop these two ambitious dictatorSY—only a war—in which the fascist nations will line up against those that will have clung to democracy. Shall we shut our eyes to the lust— ful and inhuman aggression in which other nations are indulging so long as we are not attacked, or shall we take immediate steps to preserve the precious Democracy under which we now live? Arx Plan to Celebrate Annual Dance Nov. 19 Bent on opening Armour’s fall so- cial season, the architectural society has announced the date of their an- nual Arx Dance to be November 19. Although the orchestra and dance site have not been selected as yet, those in charge of the aliair are al- ready considering a very swank loca- tion. All efforts of this year’s committee are being in do to surpass the suc- cess of las ear’s Diana Bacchanale sponsored by the Arx. Definite de- tails concerning the orchestra and location will be announced shortly.

A small fee will be charged for membership, suf- ficient to cover the cost of the mem— bership button. Several innovations are to be introduced. One of these will be the Emblem Committee. Any person presenting a problem to this committee, which cannot be solved by them, will be awarded a prize. The demonstration of a great num- ber of trick problems will be another new idea. Once the club has become organ- ized it is intended to form a nucleus for an association of mathematics clubs in the Chicago area. Contact will be made with the Universities of Northwestern, and Chicago, and a mutual exchange of speakers ranged. That the mathematics department will take an active interest in this club is evidenced by Dr. Ford's statement: “The Mathematics De— partment assures the Math Club that it will stand firmly behind the ob— jectives of this organization, and en- courage the participation of the en- tire student body.” ar- rule would receive “suitable” punish l n.» l The youngest student at the Uni- versity of Kansas is 14 your old John Ise, J12, majoring in math.
