STUDENTS STAGE
PEACE STRIKE
G. W. and Howard Groups
Hear Leaders in Pleas
to End War.

George Washington University and
Howard University students today
were staging a one-day strike for
peace"
To the notes of an inexpertly but
loudly blown bugle, approximately 200
members Of the student body at George
Washington assembled in small yard
behind one OF the university buildings
this morning to hear leaders OF the
movement
On the campus at Howard about
100 students gathered to hear Jean
Toussaint Bernard, Farmer Labor
Representative from Minnesota, speak
from the porch of Clark Hall.
Standing on bench in the middle
Of the court, surrounded by students
bearing peace standards, William
Goodykoontz, secretary and organizer
of the Student Peace Committee at
George Washington read to sympa-
thizers and hecklers from the Decla-
ration of Independence and other
"subversive' documents.
I'VE Of the Strike Committee feel
that President Cloyd H. Marvin has
denied us the rights accorded to other
groups IN refusing us permission to
hold our strike on the campus"
Goodykoontz said.
Hecklers Shout for War.
Goodykoontz was continually inter-
rupted by small group of hecklers
shouting, I'VE want war" and Nuts
to you, Goodykoontz." The speaker
continued unperturbed.
Standards carried by the Strike
Committee bore such slogans as War
Is a Callous Anachronism-Men Can
End It," and "Dr. Marvin-the Con-
stitution Gives Us the Right to AS
semble-Do You?"
Goodykoontz announced the strikers
would meet in Union Methodist Epis-
copal Church at Twentieth street and
Pennsylvania avenue and the group,
minus few hecklers filed up Twen-
tieth street to the building, where
they were addressed by congressional
and student speakers.
The session began with the singing
OF America, the Beautiful" after
which 81 Rottenberg vehemently
charged the Anti-Strike Committee,
under c. T. r. Bohannon, with trying
to ally the peace strike with COM
munism by means of a pamphlet dis
tributed at the church.
Strike Refusal Published.
DR.. Marvin's refusal of the request
for permission to strike on campus
was published in a recent edition of
the George Washington University
Hatchet.
Representative Bernard, who made
his debut in Congress with a vote
against the neutrality bill, declared: ::
Youth in America makes its protest
against the warmakers of the world.
We do not forget the people of Abys-
sinia. We pledge ourselves to a pro-

The picture opens Sunday at the

WHEN Freddie Steele lashes out at
the chin OF Hobo Williams at
Griffith Stadium next Tuesday night
there will be picture interest in the
effect OF his sock beyond that implied
in Variety Clubs sponsorship Of the
show. In effect, all Hollywood will
be watching even though the stands
are filled with Washingtonians.' The
Hollywood interest grows out of the
fact that Steele is co-managed by
Bing Crosby, the man who has merged
grooming, race-horse ownership and
co-partnership Of prize fighters, re-
tanning the best features of each.
Whatever it is. there is a force that
impel Hollywood sents to buy small
or large fractions of scrappers. Crosby
is but one of several who have put
their money into muscles rather than
real estate.
incidentally, the fight, one Of the
most thoroughly publicized sporting
attractions in local ring history, will
be for two things-Variety Clubs VEL

Several years elapsed between that
appearance in Washington and the
next one for Rogers. The Palace had
gone vaudeville in the meantime and
Rogers came back as master of cere-
monies: former concert singer. who
had something of a voice left. but
somehow chap on the other side Of
the hill.
That was about seven or eight years
ago. Rogers made quite hit around
town on that occasion. too. He re-
manned here for weeks. Audiences
liked to her him sing things like
"Chloe" and other numbers popular at
the time. There was an end to so
many things about that time, however,
and Rogers was one of them. Maybe
you remember him. You may be won-
dering what happened to him. We
always have We did that is, until
yesterday afternoon. We found out
then.
Rogers, still able to sing, is the last
name in the cast of characters of THE
Girl Said No." the picture bringing
Gilbert and Sullivan to the screen for
the first time, and rather more NOV
3ngly that you might suspect, comes
to Keith's next Friday. Rogers plays
q bit in it. He sings couple of Nanki-
poo's songs from the "Mikado," and
does them very well He still has some-
thing of voice. enough to make him
kind of sad figure of vegetable man
who stands on top of truckload Of
turnips and is gay while he sings THE
Flowers that Bloom in the Spring"
The Girl Said No" is a poignant
little study in has-beens of the stage.
Since 1t was made some of the players
in 1t have gone on to better contracts,
in other words, have performed the
miracle of coming back. So far as we
know, Rogers was not among them. 1t
seemed like kind of casting to type,
however, that he should have been in
the picture. Yet he sings great deal
better than lot of persons you have
heard in the movies and on the stage.

who wished to work, and had the dill
gence to work, an opportunity to at
tain for themselves a position. scholas-

Under our present system a person
who receives a B average or better can
receive no more publicity for It than
a c average person, and certainly a
great deal less than person who gets

honor roll used to be thing that ev-

the end of the period more colortul
climax Going to school that gives no
recognition to honor students IS like
entering a race that crowns no winner.
But the honor roll wasn't opposed by
the one hundred and forty students who
voted against it for no reason at all.
They felt that to have such an objective
as a roll of honor for every student to
work for was putting education on too
much of competitive basis. They en-
couraged the idea that it was because
of the honor roll and because the stu
dents had in mind the immediate sat
isfaction of seeing their names on il
rather than the future reward of sue
cess that cultivated the extensive crib
bling. Such a conclusion is untenable
since the discontinuance of the honor
roll has caused no decrease in cheating.
