The following article comes from the Intercollegiatc Council on International Cooperation. It involves a query and a point of view that .should arouse thought and interc.st of many students. “Would it be an aid to international peace in these troublous times were the world informed upon what terms the United States would join the League of Nations.^ Should there be an official American representative at Geneva to participate in League deliberations while tlie United States is not a League member ?” Students in some 750 colleges are being called on to answer these questions in the affirmative. That is, a petition asking for these two actions as important to the cause of peace is being circulated in 750 colleges under sponsorship of the Intercollegiate Council on International Cooperation. James I‘\ Green, now a graduate student at Yale, and well-known for the speech he made before the World Disarmament Conference at Geneva, is Chair man of the Council. Tlie petition urges “that the United States reinforce the League’s contribution to peace by stating the terms under which full membership would be possible; and by appointing in the mean time an official diplomatic representative to the League of Nations to participate in its deliberations.” Those who are promoting the petition dechire it to be “realistic.” It is not, they insist, one of those movements that ask much in hope of getting a little; but ratlier that what is petitioned for can and should be done at once. They believe these steps would be ])eculiarly in harmony with President Roosevelt’s policy as stated in his Woodrow Wilson Anniversary Diimer last December. President Roosevelt’s declai-ation was: “We are giving cooperation to the League in every matter wliich is not primarily political and every matter which obviously represents the views and the good of the peoples of the world, as distinguished from tlie views and the good of political leaders, of privileged classes or of imperialistic aims.” Sucli cooperation could be carried on fai* more effectively, friends of the petition believe, if American representation at Geneva were “regularized.” A vast number of peace advocates are con vinced that if world disaster is to be averted the United States and Russia must come into the League. Much is being said both in this country and abroad about revising the League Covenant to make it acceptable to these two important world powers. It W(mld go a long way toward clarifying a dangerously confused situation, say the peace advocates, if the United States would state under what terms she would join the League. Tlie petition which was initiated by the League of Nations As sociation, with headquarters at 6 East 39th Street, New York, has the active support of a large number of national organizations. It is expected that at least one million Americans will sign. The preamble declares: “We, citizens of the United States, Anxious to avoid war and organize peace in which prosperity can thrive, Believing that the collective system of the world community which includes the Kellogg-Briand Pact (Pact of Paris) to which HONOR ROLLS SHOW GAIN OVER LAST YEAR (Continued from page one^ Hii(] one special student on the lists.

Junior Class Gives Volentine Party to Little Sisters The Junior Class entertained its “little sisters” at a pajama valentine party on Wednesday night, February 14, at 10:00 o’clock in the society halls. Attractive Invitations were Issued to urge each "little sister" to come to the iniique affair. Various games and relays were played In one hall, while dancing was enjoyed In the other. Finally, there was a spirited treasure hunt which was followed by appropriate refreshments. Here's a New Year’s resolution of a Converse College student: “Because I know that sleep will make me healthy, I shall not get up for breakfast.” Plans for May Day at Agnes Scott College were definitely started, de veloping around the French theme “La Fete du Mai.”—The Arioni.ilic. Friend of Meredith Passes Away in New York Home I At the Theatres | STATE THEATRE The motion picture version ot Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland” will be shown at the State for the last times today. Produced by Paramount, the fantastic settings, unusual make up and novelty of the treatment and the fast-moving story all go to make the picture one of the outstanding hits of the season. Alice is there, in the person of Char lotte Henry; as are the Duchess, the King and Queen of Hearts, the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the White Knight, and Humpty Dumpty. Tliey’re all on the screen in the persons of the greatest cast ever assembled for a motion picture. Each of the more than forty Important parts is taken by an internationally-known star or featured player. Miss Henry Is a wholly likeable, and remar.kably talented Alice. Direc tor Norman McLeod, with the aid of consummately capable art directors, composers, costumers, designers and other assistants, has actually brought to the screen—character for character, scene for scene, and word for word— the L«wls Carroll fantasy. Meredith students, especially those of the Music department, have suffered the loss of a very dear friend, Miss Rebekah Crawford who died at her New York home on January 24. Miss Crawford was an outstanding leader in the fleld of Music Pedagogy, and it Is said that over 3,000 teachers use the book which contains Miss Craw ford’s talks on music and the bio graphical poems written by her. Wish ing to show a real personal interest in our college. Miss Crawford donated to our library some copies of several of her works among which are: The Music ficrapbook, 2'he Swapboolc of Five Centuries of Tone Poets (from Palestrina to Wagner), Musical Mes sages For Every Day in the Year, (The musicians' Birthday Book) jWusicians in lihyvie for Childhood’s Time and Picture Lives of Great Musicians.
