U. Students Urge Nisei Be Retained

Two University students and two faculty members appeared yesterday before the Tolan congressional committee, which last night concluded its Seattle hearings on the problems of alien evacuation.
Floyd Schmoe, instructor in forestry, called as a representative of the American Friends Service Committee, urged that the evacuation be used only as a last resort, with methods of reallocating persons in occupations similar to those where they now work.
Prof. Jesse Steiner of sociology, an expert on Japanese social problems, asked that no discrimination be made between Japanese and other aliens in the evacuation. He also urged that American-born Japanese not be included in the evacuation orders.
The two students, Hildur Coon and Curtiss Aller, appeared before the committee at their own request and drew from spectators the only round of applause during the two-day hearings.
Both requested that Nisei students now at the University be excepted (sic) from any evacuation. They further pointed out these students would be able to help Americanize their parents and would be useful in peace work following the war if they receive complete American educations.
