Now the Horrible Silence . . .
Mid-day sunshine glistens oh two rail. of
the four pairs of Santa Fe tracks that round
the cast edge of Fresno near the campus of
Fresno State College. Warm autumnal sunshine
that possesses no rancor to its heat—only ,
mellowed warmth—is bright on the back lot ,,l

A poll o* student opinion on the possibility
of a future war and the student reaction to such
a war has been finished by the Miami Student
and is being conducted on a nation-wide scale
by several interested groups. The polls thus
conducted continue to show that a wide majority would not fight on foreign soil; but that an
even greater number would not hesitate to don

not be erased from their minds today. The Oxford Oath pledging refusal to take up arms in
the defense of king or country is not a failure
on the part of today's generation to observe
but the outbur
an approach to a more sensible
attitude which if followed would do much towards obliterating war from the mind of the
But the opinion of youth does not weigh
heavily enough on the directors
rmcy. Those same students considered old
enough to bear arms and shoot their fellow men
are not considered old enough to vote in the de-
rn whether they should fight or be risked in
another world conflagration!
Young men from the ages of 18 to 21 are
g the first to be called to the colors of
their flag as the recent mobilization plans of
the world showed during the past month.
Students do not advocate nor do they expect
.a revision in American suffrage, nor is there a
cry that minors should be invested with legal
rights—tradition is too strong to yield for many
years to come. Yet the American youth should
have a voice on issues afTccting the people of
the nation so vitally as war. Such a voice could
not be refused audience in the future—especially when all those will be voting by 1941.
