Page 4 Q U E ENS BLUES April 30, 1946 ill poll OF IHEAiiil STUDENTS One of the most important issues of our present-day political prob lems is that of compulsory military training during peace time, and it is this question which we have put to several Queens students in order to get the general consensus of opinion. We feel that perhaps a poll of the students on such a vital problem today will not only serve as a means of arousing interest in the important events which are taking place every day, but will also help to serve as a little “food for thought” for the reader. In answer to the question of this week, “Do You Believe In Peacetime Military Conscription?” we received the following answers: PEGGY BURNS: Yes, I do. I be lieve that military discipline is good for young men and that conscrip tion is needed in order to strength en the peace. MARY LEE FLOWERS: Yes, I do most definitely. I feel that a standing army would put the couri- try on a more or less sound basis and that they would be prepared for any emergency that might arise, and I think military conscrip tion is good for the majority of young men. He’s a better man when he comes out. SUZANNE BLACKMON: I cer tainly do not. I think it’s defeat ing the purpose of the UNO which is to preserve peace by means other than military force. Military means are theoretically used as a last re sort, according to the privileges of the UNO; would we not be going against the principle of which we are telling the world we believe in? CAROLYN HOBSON: Yes, I do believe in it. I feel that it would not only provide good training for the boys as individuals but it also serves as a security measure for our nation. PEGGY KIMREY: Yes, I cer tainly do, because we were unpre pared for the last war and if we are prepared we would not be so readily attacked again. MARY LIB MARTIN: No, I be- Slinging The Dnst Compliments of E. J. Feeley Co. CHARLES D.

'The stu dents of dear old Q. C. are rapidly changing their winter whites to summer tans. It’s so marvelous that summer is only a matter of weeks. This thing of congregating in ole Sol’s rays proves to be one of the best sources for enlighten ment (and I mean that literally too!) as to the goings on around this and other places . . . It seems that a young man’s fancy isn’t the only thing that turns in the spring ... so does a young lady’s! They are simply going to have to enlarge the month of June, or else there are going to be many conflicts. It seems that EVERYONE wants to get married then! Congrats to Estelle Darrow, Nancy Womack, Kitty Crane, and a few alums: Julia Miller, Margie Bates, and Jean Throckmorton. If we’ve omitted anyone it’s only be cause we weren’t sure it wasn’t just a rumor! The past Easter week-end cer tainly proved eventful, for a few people, anyway . . . Dell Simpson is “breezing along” these days . . . and no wonder — s’pose YOU had that cute Breezy Brazill’s Pi Kap lieve that the training should be through the schools which would be high school and college, but I do not think that boys should be taken out of school and away from jobs for a year’s military train ing. MARTHA SCARBOROUGH: I think it’s good for a boy to have that much discipline, and yet if that training comes immediately after graduating from high school it upsets further education. So you might say I don’t approve of it. VIRGINIA JACKSON: I do not like it because it looks as if we are preparing for war and if we do it what can we expect of other nations? So there’s what a few of the stu dents think about this vital ques tion. If there are any questions which are of particular interest to you, let us know what they are and we’ll do our best to find out just exactly how the student body feels about it.
