movement travels, the weaker IL becomes.
 officials at the University ot Virginia met the strike" by de- ciding to sanction the movement, suspend classes for one hour, and invite the entire student body of 1900 to exercise their lurgs in chapel.
 t More than 1,250 students at the Milwaukee State Teachers college will do likewise, and it will be Q "conyocation" instead of q "strike."
 Three thousand liberals (la. belled radicals" by their fellow) will demonstrate at the University of Chicago, but there will be a challenge to them on the part of "The Public Policy Association" comprising Greek letter fraternity men and members of the athletic associations, led by all-American Jay Berwanger. s--,. Petition Mayor Kelly The anti-war demonstrants pro- pose to march to Chicago's Loop and present petitions to Mayor Edward d., Kelly and newspapers. Without opposition by President Glenn Frank, an unofficial anti milltaristic conyocation will pe held by 13 student organizations, at which probably 1000 students will be present. About 50 Earnest Leaguers against "war and fas- cism" will strike at the University of Iowa, where President Eugene A. Gilmore, drowning on the move ment, says he will give them zero for every class they cut.

 ''T Negro College J0ins
 Shaw n Negro college at Ral- eigh, will permit its 200 students to proclaim their hatred of war. There is mixed feeling through the state of Ohio. Whatever dem- onstrations are planned, student leaders said, would be peaceful" (" Tw6 thousand are expected to ob- serve the day at Western Reserve and its associated colleges, and perhaps 5000 more, in institutions scattered through the state, will
 participate in smaller meetings.
 In the New England colleges
 little interest appeared to be stirred. Thirty or forty" students at Dartmouth may mark the day by observance, but 8 majority If the students believe that demon strations are no cure for the prob- lem," Similarly, at Harvard the
 rank and file of students are op-
 posed to dem onstration as silly"
 The feeling at Yale appears to be like, that at Harvard.
 Expect Huge Crowd
 It was pointed out, however,
 that where 25,000 students rartici-
 pated in last years .demonstra-
 tions. more than four times that
 number are expected. to. answer th.,
 call this year. Tn thousands os
 cases, this answer is not in obodi-
 ence of some mysterious command
 by so-called radicals, but ques-
 tioning of the necessity for war,
 leaders reported.

 leaders said, may some day arisc the means to bring war to an end.
