AMENDMENT PROMOTES PEACE
Following is the House Joint Resolution Number 199, in-
troduced by the Hon. Louis Ludlow of Indiana, February 5,
1987. The resolution is now in the committee on the Judiciary,
where it will remain until called to a vote. It states:
Resolved by tin* Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of
each house concurring therein.) That the following article is
proposed as an amendment, to the Constitution of the United
States, which shall he valid to all intents and purposes as a part
of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-
fourths of the several States:
“ARTICLE-
SECTION 1. Except in tin* event of an invasion
of the United States or its Territorial possessions and
attack upon its citizens residing therein, the authority
of Congress to declare war shall not become effective
until confirmed by a majority of all votes cast thereon
in a nation-wide referendum. Congress, when it deems
a national crisis to exist, may by concurrent res-
olution refer the question of war or peace to the citizens
of the States, the question to he voted on being, Shall
the United States declare war on -? Congress
may otherwise by law provide for the enforcement of
this section.”
Section eight of the Constitution, in which the powers of
Congress are listed, says in paragraph eleven that the Congress
shall have power to declare war. In paragraph twelve it is
granted the power to raise and support armies.
These things must stand at the head of any consideration of
the peace problem in the United States, for so long as these
powers remain with Congress, work for peace, education for
peace, plans for peace, and any neutrality or non-intervention
or non-participation laws that Congress itself may pass, may
be of no avail.
So it is evident that we must, if we are really in earnest
about this peace matter, continue to insist that the power to put
this nation into a foreign war must he taken from Congress and
given to tin* people. 'flu* above hill does just this. It, gives
Congress the authority to pass a concurrent resolution advising
the country that it thinks war should he declared on a certain
country. Congress would then no doubt set the date for the
voting. Now that we have the radio, the referendum could be
handled within less than a week.
Therefore, the hope for ending war and guaranteeing peace
is not as impractical as it may seem. The Transcript today is
expressing its support of the Peace Amendment already on com-
mittee in Congress. Today the Transcript is being distributed
to most of the colleges and universities in the country to urge
students to enlist their active support for the passage of the
Peace Amendment.
Thousands of citizens and students have demonstrated for
peace this week. If these thousands write letters to their Con-
gressmen asking for support of tin- amendment now buried in
committee, Peace will he possible as a practical reality confirmed
by national legislation.
If each of us were to take fifteen minutes to write a letter
to our Congressmen, we could convince our legislators that the
people of the United States justifiably desire to have a voice in
determining their participation in a foregn war.
Thursday at 11 o'clock there were thousands of students and
ace sympathizers holding special programs in a huge demon-
ition for peace. This year’s expression of sentiment had been
jit up by intensive campaigns of many national and civic and
ient groups. Thursday the wave of sentiment reached its
Thursday was the day for the nation to plan definite
SBTT6 accomplish permanent peace.
We are upholding the Peace Amendment as the most plaus-
>le step to be taken. The Peace Amendment will be the in-
jnl gtep-—others will follow if the ice is broken and the citi-
jjjg Gf the nation confirm their peace sympathies with relig-
tfve pressure.—The Transcript.
Despite an incident or two that marred the show, Tom John-
son's newest Pigskin Revue was mostfoutstanding. We enjoyed
the production from start to finish ; there was never a dull mo-
ment, and we really were sorry to see the final number completed.
Testifying to Johnson’s ability and the confidence
people have in him as an entertainer was the remark-
ably large audience on hand Tuesday night. The show
was given in competition to the Palace “Hank Night
and in face of adverse weather conditions. And still
the people came.
We all admire courage. Gladys Eason, freshman dancer and
singer, showed a quantity of it Tuesday night when tin* mishap
with the microphone occurred; knocked off her balance, pain-
fully injured, Gladys caught her step and continued her dif-
ficult, routine. The ovation given her was partially due to her
dance; partially due to her pluck.
Another Southwestern University “trooper” is Mine.
Slaviansky, our Russian chorus master. In Stephen-
ville, fifteen minutes before the show was to go on, the
Madame fell down a flight of steps, injuring her ankle
severely. The show went on as scheduled, and the
Madame was in her accustomed place. She showed no
indication of pain during the performance, hut when
it was over her ankle had swollen three times its nor-
mal size. For a week the troupe traveled; with it went
the Madame, her foot by day in a cast, riding in a cra-
dle. But each night she did her part, directing her
chorus, smiling at the audience.
Earlier in the year the Madame was ill nearly two weeks.
Each day, however, she directed her chorus practice. One day
comment was made of it in her presence. She remarked simply,
“My music is my life.” And we think it is.
The Band boys say they never really appreciated
Southwestern University until they made their last
tour. Which means something when one considers the
route they traveled.
Dr. ('laud Howard took nine of his golfers to a meet in a
nearby town and proceeded to clean up the prizes.’ Seven of the
players, including the Doc, himself, received valuable awards
when the tournament was over.
This, to me, is strange. If golfers can win prizes at their
game, why can’t footballers? It has long been the practice in
strong football towns for the merchants to give certain star per-
formers “gifts” when they make touchdowns or do some other
spectacular stunt, but it is done on the sly. It all comes down
to this: All is fair in love, but not in sports.
Recently a young woman we
know heard some rather sordid
and completely false gossip about
herself. Immediately she flew
into a rage and exclaimed:
‘What, is the use of being good
when people say things like that
about you anyhow!”
It is the typical modern view-
point. The usual person acts to
suit convention and never thinks
about the really vital reward—
the satisfaction within one’s self.
Ever hear about the great phi-
losopher who won, in a lawsuit,
a valuable piece of property and
then turned around and present-
ed the winnings to his adver-
sary? He was twice victorious.
