university of the city of to ledo as secretary of the association of urban universities planning the program for the november meeting of the association with president doermann and dean lanfear of the university of pittsburgh indifference of american undergraduates to domestic and foreign affairs despaired american students reproached for pessimistic views occasionally one wonders a little about the source of the conviction that we are an arrogant people watching the seventy-five or so am erican undergraduate delegates at the tenth annual international student service conference at mount holyoke college south hadley mass early this month you couldn't help won dering practically all the contumely heaped on the american student during the session was heaped by the american delegates only the foreigners had a kind word of him only the europeans saw a hope of a student awakening here under the stimulus of something less than a cataclysm only they of fered some defense of his indiffer ence to domestic government and for eign affairs the american delegates were hum ble and despairing they didn't see much hope nothing but pinching shoes and empty stomachs will ever make american students sit up and realize that they have a government no outside organization can do any thing for them said a harvard 31 man who had watched the harvard liberal club die shockingly ignorant his countrymen agreed almost unanimously our native undergrad uate is shockingly ignorant of gov ernment affairs and totally apathetic said yale columbia and new york university they don't even know a crisis exists testified ed murrow m s f a president they are too well-fed to care about government and too remote to care about for eign affairs only a few here and there keep the international relations clubs and the model league assem blies alive and when they graduate the substructures collapse and then the outlanders rose to our defense first testified delegates from england irap soviet russia and the philippines who had visited or studied in colleges here american undergraduates had shown genuine interest in the delegates native countries soviet russia was still

can't think in small ones . . . you are too impatient too used to thinking in terms of mass movements of the electorate ... it isn't neces sary that 50,000 american students concentrate on the polish corridor all we want is to be sure that a hand ful of them are actively interested in the right direction a small group of really determined people can do a very great deal ... it is a long slow process but it is not hopeless ..." dr arnold wolfers director of the school of politics in berlin and dr walter m kotschnig general sec retary of international student ser vice declared dr kotschnig laid american stu dents apathy toward politics to the fact that there being no discoverable difference between the democratic and republican parties there is no question of principles involved here the country has its home politics in the hands not of the best of the na tion but of the worst moreover according to dr wolfers americans seemed to be laboring under a delusion regarding european students while the latter were in general interested in affairs that inti mately concerned their own country they like americans were more or less indifferent to anything remote numbers of german students do not even know what the kellogg pact is finally european students whose tuberculosis rate is from twenty to fifty per cent of their total number whose living conditions are rigorous who
