The Campus Mirror 5 AT THf. 5I0(N OF TOP ftLU£ Curtis Miller, ’34 On Saturday, March 25th, Tsoo Yi Zia, a Chinese student from Georgia Wesleyan College, talked informally to a group in Morehouse North reception room. Miss Zia was making a tour of fourteen colleges during the period of her spring vacation, under the direction of the National 5’. W. C. A. Her purpose was to help promote good will by promoting understanding' among people of different nations. She thinks that most of the problems of under standing now rests with youth and with their getting right ideas of different peo ples of the world. In telling about China she told of edu cational, social and international interests, and showed that the Chinese youth is in terested in practically the same problems that American students are interested in and that he goes through the same funda mental routine to enable him to reach conclusions. Miss Zia thinks that the race question is built on lack of understanding. She, a Chinese student, attending a white col lege, and talking with Negro students, felt that there was no great difference between them, but that each race judges the other by its visible characteristics, rather than by looking beneath and seeing how similar we are, after all. Her idea of the race problem was that it is a thing to be destroyed by destroy ing prejudice. 'The International Dinner Eroell Powell, '33 On Friday evening, April 7, at six o'clock, in Morgan Hall, the international dinner was held. It is one of the annual events to which every one looks for new inspiration and ideas concerning his friends over the world. The arrangement of the tables in a hol low square added to tin 1 comfort and cordi ality of the occasion and left a convenient space for some numbers of the program. At opposite ends of the room were the two guest tables. At one were seated real guests and at the other students in in teresting costumes to represent foreign na tions and bring greetings from those coun tries. The menu was as follows: Swiss steak, Spanish rice, English pens, Bussian salad, American biscuits, butter, Neapolitan ice cream, German crisps and Turkish coffee or English tea. The program, which was announced by Birdie Scott, dressed as Columbia, included a parade of the nations. Brief greetings from representatives of many nations. A speech by Mr. S. IT. Barbieri, a Brazilian student from Emory University, included an interesting account of the colonization of Brazil by Portuguese, of the rule of Portugal in Brazil and the final abdication of Don Pedro, the hereditary ruler after which the country became a free republic. A pretty Swiss dance was done by Fannie Allen and Carolyn Lemon. Dr. AY. E. B. DuBois, speak ing on Germany, presented the present situ ation of the Hitler government, showing a series of situations since medieval times which have been influential in bringing Ger many to the situation she is now in. Mary Louise Smith sang a German lullaby. The foreign students from Africa and from the A’irgin Islands gave brief greetings. Carol Blanton played a beautiful medley of na tional songs. “My Country is the AYorld,” concluded the program. Everyone left the dinner feeling that she had drawn nearer to ideal or to real good will toward all men. Educate and Organize for World Peace Now is the time to make preparation for preserving international peace, while we are more or less at peace, was the es sence of Mr. Paul Harris ’ speech to a group of Atlanta University, Spelman and Morehouse students on April 12th. Air. Harris, who is a member of a committee for the prevention of war, is now making many tours and is visiting various col leges in order to spread projects to edu cate the college youth today to the idea of international peace. He states that the first thing to accom plish in attaining this ideal condition and widespread attitude is to educate for peace and not for means and thoughts of war. The second thing to do is to form an or ganization for peace for the settlement of disputes; and, thirdly, there must be a world-wide reduction of armaments. Mr. Harris believes that if arms are laid down; then when a people become angry they cannot quickly begin fighting again until they have had time to rearm them selves; and by that time they will probably feel their wrath cooling down. AYe have now come to a changed, more evolutionized civilization; and hence we must act under a collective system—as an organized soci ety. In speaking with various people with whom he has visited and become acquaint ed, he says that Einstein believed that 2 per cent of a population can block war for that people. Mahatma Gandhi said, “Peace and justice are not to he had by fighting for success but by spreading truth.” Mr. Harris believes that one should trans form what he possesses into something which every one may use and thus strive to help society to live together. Then we will reach our long-cherished ideal, peace. What? When? Why Column Edited by Girls in Home Economies Depart m cut Courtesy in a School Dinixg Boom Not for ourselves alone but for the sake of lessening conflict with others whom we meet do we do some things which are con sidered marks of a wellbred member of society. The do’s and don't's of behavior entail every sphere in which humanity moves—in some to a great extent; in others to a less extent, but in all to an important extent. One sphere in which every normal individual moves more regularly than any other, perhaps, is the dining room, which affects all of us directly. Disregard of the slightest of these laws throws the entire force out of gear. As a result, there are some acts which we should always do at the right time and in the right way. 1. AYe should co-operate with the dining room officials by appearing in the dining room neither too early nor too late. 2. AYe should take our own place in the line for service. 3. At best a dining room is noisy; we should do our part to keep the noise at a minimum, lest we should sound boisterous. 4. Our dress should be in accord with the social atmosphere of the dining room. 5. Unpleasant attitudes, particularly gloomy topics of conversation, should be de ferred until after one leaves the dining room. 6. Since there is a place for everything, everything should he in its place. This in cludes cloaks, books, and trays. 7. Extravagance in the use of food is a sign of carelessness and we should avoid such extravagance. 8. The dining room is obviously not a re ception room and accommodations cannot be made for individuals to occupy seats for en tertaining long after the meal is over. 9. AYe should he careful that nothing es capes our ears, especially the making of announcements. Dining room notices usually are important. * | YATES & j | MILTON I i i j AUBURN AND BUTLER j | Walnut 1401-1402 | FAIR AT CHESTNUT j Main 4114 ! i Drugs Su n d ries Sodas ! i i GIVE US A RING I "Wc are as close as your phone’’ j j
