reached a new high In a brillinnt
and interpretive display of musical
ability in its Inst appearance in the

the band followed his every move
with perfect precision.
The outstanding numbers on the
program were: "Fraternity Overture," Clarke; "Sven Dufa,"
Bayer.
Overture ."Arlane,"
With these three numbers the band
was at its best to uphold the reputation for which It is nationally
known.
A French horn quartet composed
of Wesley Munger, Thomas Marshall, O. H. Harris, and Chris Argus played the "Pilgrims Chorus"
from Tannhauser. This number,
along with some more of the outstanding works of Wagner, will be
heard on next Sunday's program,
the last of the current season.
If credit were given to sections,
the writer would choose the trombone section as the most outstanding. Individual credit must go to
Charles Countrymen, clarinet; Percy Lewis, cornet; Chris Argus,
French horn; John Feitz, bass; Bill
Merton, flute; Russel McKiskl, oboe,
and Frank Moore, trombone. These
men are truly the backbones, so to

in two respects. It demonstrates that American
vouth has not lost its idealism and also that it
will not allow its elders to hctray it.
The movement is an example of the feeling of
the younger generation in America towards war
today they distinctly abhor it and will refuse
to be drawn into any conflict through the medium of entangling foreign alliances or camouflaged patriotism.
It is also indicative of the fad that American
vouth knows what is going on in our government today. The fact that a Congress, supos-edlrepresenting the majority of the American
population, aceded to the wishes of a small
minority in granting the payment of an enormous sum of money from a treasury already
drained because of enonomic expediency, is not
being regarded lightly by the thinking members
of our younger citizenry. They realize that they
will be compelled to pay for this folly through
higher taxation in years to come and they will
demonstrate their disapproval of the action at
the next congressional and senatorial election.
The fact that the movement of the male students at Princeton has been followed by an organization at Vassar known as the "Association
of Cold Star Mothers of Veterans of Future
Wars" is evidence that a firmer assertion of the
female right of suffrage is in the ofiing. The
younger women citizenry has also awakened to
protest against the manipulation of government
finances by the smug agents of a well organized
group of political brigands.
The initial demands of the two organizations
were singular: the "veterans" demanded immediate payment of a $1,000 bonus due June 1,
1965, to each member with interest dating back
ward from that date in order that the members
might enjoy it before they were killed in future
wars; the "gold star mothers" are petitioning for
trips abroad in order that they may view the
graves of their future sons. These demands
ridiculous to the reader but they are scarcely less ridiculous than those demands made and

during the present Congress.
A better government is dawning; when youth
combines to protest en masse against the irregularities of a political system abounding with
grafters and lobbyists the order will be compelled
to change. We salute the Princeton movement
as the forerunner of a better day in American
olitics.
