Dr. Russell is a national and international authority on world peace, and his address is one that should not be missed. Dr. Kratz Makes Timely Talk In Chapel Dr. Kratz, Dean of In.struction, was the speaker at chapel on Thurs day morning, November T. Her sub ject was “The Good Student’s Atti tude Toward Tests and Examina tions.” She emjihasized the attitudes which may he taken: that of indiffer ence, that of procrastination, and that of the determination to succeed. She said that “the examinations, them selves, are not very important, hut it is the attitude of each individual student which really counts.” She told the group that the attitude, which she felt was most satisfactory, was that of a “conqueror”—I can and I will. “Anyone can he a con queror, failure is only temporary; all that is necessary is to win the battle in vour own mind first.’’ The International Relations Club gave a chapel program Wednesday, November 13, in honor of Armistice Day, The stage was appropriately decorated with small flags of many foreign nations and a large American flag. Frances Hunsucker, president of I. R. C., introduced the guest speaker of the morning—Judge Fred Helms. Judge Helms spoke of the meaning of the Armistice. It was the tem porary suspension of fighting in the “greatest expedition in scientific murder that the world has ever known.” Of the sixty-five million men enlisted, thirty-six million receiv ed casualties. Ten million were killed in the actual battles. As a result of this, it can't be said that inter-national relationships were furthered. But a feeling of resent ment and hate did rise. Economic disasters, dictatorships and other government revolutions, crime, and disease are. the results. Our educa tional systems are radically wrong because they picture the butchers of war as heroes. The “gory part of war rather than the glory” should be shown. No one understands the significance of Armistice death. No one under stands the future. iLowever the na tions are istriving on unrest that can only he remedied by building up our own ideals and ideas.
