Nation's president to hear Riley woes
An open letter to President Truman
To the Honorable Harry S. Truman The White House Washington, D. C.
Sir:
Maybe you haven’t heard about the petition the students of SC have gotten up about Herbert James Eiley Jr. In case you haven’t, we’re going to tell you about it.
You’ll receive 8000 signatures by registered mail later this week—the signatures will be on 500 petitions addressed to you.
Also, there are approximately 500 naval trainees in the V-12 unit stationed at SC who are entirely in sympathy with the signers of the petitions but who cannot sign because of naval regulations.
Anyway, Herbert James Riley Jr. is a student at SC. But before that, he was a civilian prisoner of war at the Japanese
internment camp of Santo Tomas in the Philippines for 37 months.	»
The subject is this: Herb is being drafted, in fact he received his induction papers yesterday afternoon asking him to report within 10 days.
Herb is 19 years old. His education has been impeded for over three years, and we the students of SC feel that it would be a gross injustice to draft Herb at this time. While we respect the board of appeals' amenability to the letter of the law, we are fully convinced that the spirit of the draft laws is being violated in this case.
Therefore, we are asking you to rescind this letter you sent Herb yesterday afternoon.
Signed,
The students of SC.
The letter Truman sent to Riley
The President of the United States,
To Herb James Riley Jr.
Greetings:
Having submitted yourself to a local board composed of your neighbors for the purpose of determining your availability for training and service in the land or naval forces of the United States, you are hereby notified that you have now been selected for training and service therein.
You will, therefore, report to the local board named above (625 Main street, Woodland, Calif.) at 10:30 a.m. on the 29th day of November, 1945.
Riley day at SC
“You wouldn’t want to lead ‘the life of Riley’ if you were in Herb’s boots! Sign here, prevent his drafting!”
So read the signs in front of the Student Union all day yesterday as thousands of Trojan students, veterans, and faculty signed the petition to President Truman asking his intervention on behalf of Herb Riley.
Harvey Edwards directed the petition signing on behalf of the Owl club, while sororities and fraternities were contacted yesterday afternoon by Lois Stephenson and Dusty Rhoads. S*peechmaking at the dinner hour was made by Ruth Dryer, Beverly Colbert, Jane Moore, Anne Pearce, and Sally Short. Dormitories were canvassed by Barbara Griffin and Mary Ann Mohlengraft.
All in all, it was a united campaign yesterday. The petition signing doubled its speed in the afternoon when Herb received his induction orders.
Today, petitions will again be available in the Student Union building—at the sign of Harvey Edwards. As far as could be determined, only one person refused to sign the petition—he will remain forever anonymous.
Trojans are asked not to sign the petitions twice, as this will render the petitions void. Naval trainees are not allowed to sign because of existing naval regulations.

ed the advent of a new era in hu- j man history.”
“The first of the two possible kinds of world peace, Roman peace, that is by autocratic power, appeals to fear and is possible where one nation or concert of leading nations is strong enough to impose its will upon mankind.” “Among conditions prerequisite "to world peace are several basic principles. In the first place it implies common recognition and adoption of a moral law that is the spirit of justice and goodwill. In the second place, it presupposes that men can agree as to what is right and just in specific instances,” continued Dr. Long.
“Another necessary condition of voluntary world peace is existence of effective arrangements for meeting changing needs of the nations concerning status, land ownership, natural resources, military outposts, and markets. All traditional schemes, so far as I know, assume the perpetuation of the status quo.”
“I propose to examine the four pertinent philosophies of history in terms of which we can answer the question ‘will there be permanent peace?’ ” stated Dr. Long.
“In my opinion all programs of world peace have been conceived in terms of a long range term of political evolution. Our predicament is simply this: the new techniques of war require that permanent peace be achieved immediately. We do not have the intelligence or moral resources to effectively solve our problems. Nevertheless, there is always the bare hope that we can achieve peace now, and it is our moral duty to throw into the program all the resources at our command.” “It is not likely that the world is yet prepared to meet adequately
the condition necessary for world peace. It is very likely that in the future the external features of our civilization may be quite modified in adjusting itself to changing policies and methods of warfare.”
The oldest forum on campus, the philosophy forum is this fall presenting six lectures on the general subject, ‘The New Tasks of Peace.”
China conflict to theme initial Town Meeting
