SEEKING THE MISSING LINK
Jack Work has had English 1 and 2. Ho has
memorized enough rules and vocabularies to secure
the necessary sixteen hours of French to catisfy the
foreign language requirement of the College of Arts
and Sciences in which he is a senior. He has had
a few history courses and several hours of political
science.
Unabashed by fearful reports of several Joe Col
leges ahead of him, be took both mat hematics and
philosophy, despito the arts college requirement of
but one or the other. And early in his course, he
muddled through his science requirement. Since
then he has been completing work on his major and
minor, and filling his extra time with elective, under
teachers he considered strong.
Jack Work is, In other words, the typical arts
college student Sometimes mistaken for Joe Col
lege by his appearance or his activity, mixing with
a few Joe Colleges in every class, he is seriously
trying to get a broad education, a background of
understanding. He is seeking the inspiration that
enlivens the educated leader's mentality. He is
working for the vision that enriches the cultured
mind. He is striving for acquaintance with the true
and the beautiful, as a basis for successful endeavor
and adequate enjoyment of the results of such en
deavor. But in common with about 2,000 other students
in the College of Arts and Sciences, Jack Work is
experiencing difficulty in molding a suitable course.
He is finding that catalogs and course numbers,
necessary as they -are to a modern state university,
do not make an education. He realizes he has had
a lot of courses valuable in themselves. But he feels
the need of some synthesizing agency to help him
relate his courses to each other in rounding out his
educational development.
He is facing the same problem that has been
bothering educators throughout the country, that of
making an educational whole out of an arts college
course. And in common with other thinking stu
dents of the College of Arts and Sciences, first and
still the largest of the University's colleges, he Is
asking that attention be given to the problem, that
efforts to find a remedy for the lack of course co
ordination be continued.
. NOVEMBER 9, 1929
One year from today Is Saturday and the Corn
huskers will probably play football.
In the announcement of the 92'j Cornhuoker
schedule, nothing is listed between Kansas on No
vember 3, and Oklahoma on November 16. The date,
November 9, la conspicuous by its absence.
Similar to Coolidge's choosing to run statement.
Husker followers are busy picking the 1929 slate to
pieces and puzzling over the fact that Saturday, No
vember 9, is not scheduled, nor is it an open date.
Neither la it probable that this date, in the middle
of the season, will be left unscheduled.
When Herb Glsh returned from his trip east he
refused to give reporters any definite Information
about the 1923 schedule, but he promised that he
would have "some surprises." One of them, S. M.
V., he has Efcared with the public. But mystery
shrouds November 9. the only unfilled date, with the
exception of the first game of the season.
Who will it be? Nobody has an intimation, ex
cept Mr. Glsh. Nebraskans have no choice but to
await developments. But students feel In their
bones that Mr. Glsh has a surprise dish to serve Ne
baska one year from today.
PLAYS AND STUDENTS
In Tuesday's Issue of The Pally Nebraskan,
B. E. N. expressed the opinion that the University
Players, by allowing instructors to take part in the
productions, are not giving the students an oppor
tunity for practical experience that is so essential
In acting.
Anyone who has witnessed the second Univer
sity Players' production, "Two Girls Wanted," would
be likely to feel that B. U. N. was misinformed. Iu
this play two faculty members have parts, In a
cast of twelve. The complaint of B. E. N. may be,
however, that students are not given Important
parts. That Is not so, as a resume of past casts
will prove.
Instructors do take part in University Players'
productions, however, for several reasons. The Play
ers are rendering a cultural service to both Lincoln
and the University by producing in a satlsfactoiy
manner worthwhile plays. Students who are learn
ing the art of .acting are not, often fitted to take
heavy parts, and In order that the play may be a
success, those who have bad more experience must
take the parts.
The instructors have built up a following that
is necesa-v to the financial success of the Players.
With a new cast taking part in each new play, stu
dent who have not proved their wo-th and ability
to the public, the audience would fall off.
Students taking dramatics work on play's In
class periods. Here they gain their theory and some
practical experience, as the plays are presented to
the department and the Instructors, an audience
that Is much more critical than the one which pays
to ee a performance. After students have shown
heir worth and ability In the classroom, they are
given parts In the Unrverslty Players' production.
THREE OPINIONS
Two other discussion of treatment of freshmen
appear iu these columns today. One, in "Other Stu
dents Say," discusses the place of the local Olym
pics. The other, in "Other Editors Say," discusses
the new method of treating freshmen used this fall
at the University of California, at l.o.s Angeles.
With the annual class scrap, or what is left of
it, scheduled for tomorrow, Nebraska students may
well ponder its place in the university system, In
Unlit of the comments published. Like J. A., The
Daily Nebraskan believes there was once a very defi
nite place for the Olympics. However, The Daily
Nebraskan believes that the conditions which made
the scrap valuable have largely, if not entirely, lis
appearcd. Tradition, merely for the sake of tradition, has
no place on the modern campus. If the Olympics
can lie dispensed with, if they can be eliminated and

"not the German people."
The Entente statesmen, however,
seemed to have suffered an extra
ordinary lapse of memory, or per
haps a lapse of conscience, when
they gathered at the historic Pal
ace of Versailles to bring to a suc
cessful consummation the "war to
end war." What did these states
men accomplish'.' What lessons did
the people of the world learn from
the most brutal and destructive
war in ail history? Wherein have
the settlements dictated by the vic
tors in the hour of their victory
tended to bring raelization to the
noble ideals enunciated by the Al
lied leaders during tho war? Or
was It all a big bluff, mere soap
box oratory? Herbert Adams Gib
bons, in his Europe Since JtllS, en
deavors to answer these questions.
Gibbons aptly summarizes his
viewpoint when he says that there
never will be peace in Europe "un
til the three Furies Vanity, Greed,
and Revenge cease raging." The
entire settlement of the war was

dictatde by motives of national self-1 cult to justify
interest and revenge, and the de- .
velopment of Europe since the
drafting of the peace treaties has
bene along these lines. The dom
inant factor-in Enroiiean nolitics
since ISIS has been that old bug-s 3
and greed that Is so characteristic
of European nationalism. They
caused the present economic im
poverishment of Europe, and made
betterment Impossible, by a defi
ance of all economic laws and ar
rangements that have proved in
the past to bo the best thing for
Europe.
They weakened Germany econ
omically to the extent that the pay
ment of the tremendous repara
tions demanded of her Is a physical
impossibility. They destroyed the
only economic arrangement that
was possible for the stability and
prosperity of Central Europe with
out providing a substitute. 1 hey
forced a little emaciated Austria
and an impotent Hungary to bear
the burden of all the sins of the
old Empire. Indeed, the details
are too confusing iu their complex-
it v to enumerate here. Suffice It
to indicate the main thesis that
Gibbons maintains, that the peace
settlements are fundamentally un
sound, and have only laid the basis
for future disaffection. "We cannot
get rid of the latent power of any
of our former enemies by simply
damning them."
Gibbons connects the peace trea
ties with President Wilson. He
treats Wilson with some sort of
tolerant amusement, and with a
great deal of sympathy. When one
considers what happened to Wil
son's cherished Fourteen Points,
he is entitled to sympathy. But it
was not Wilson's fault altogether;
lie simply had too much faitli in
the inherent good of mar and al
lowed himself to he fooled by I In- I
politicians of Europe who coiurol
! led the destinies of the world in I
i 191 S. The Europe of 191 S. alas,
1 was the same old Europe.
Further evidence of the fact that ;
tire world has not advanced very;
much in the creation of an inter-1
national rode of ethics and mortal-j
fty is found In an examination of
developments since the treaties!
were signed. The Ioiik lif t of I
events .since 1 9 1 s prove without'
doubt that might still makes right.,
Force has been the dominant fac-!
tor throughout Europe; w itness i
the hasty revision of the Treaty of
Sevres, Italy in Flume, England in
Persia. France in the Itiiltr. where
force was the sole criterion or jus
tice. And there are mailt otlu-t
instances that might be mentioned,
and that Gibbons explains. Nor
does the Allied support of the
counter-revolutions against Soviet
Russia seem to have a very defen
sible position. It is further dittt
the Entente powers of the rule of
self-determination where it served
their own interests, and to deny its
application where it would militate
against them, or at least where tho
outcome might be favorable to one
of the former enemies.
Gibbons emphasizes throughout
his book the hopeless disagree
ment among the Entente powers.
Differences in national Interest
were nrlinarllv tho cause of the
wide divergence of views held by
the old Allies. Due to this failure
to agree and cooperate, the En
tente powers lost most of the fruits
of their victory. The utter failure
of the Allied policy" In the Near
East Is a good example of how lack
of Allied solidarity played right
Into the hands of a former enemy.
Indeed, oue of the outstanding de
velopments since 1918 lia.s been
the development of a wider and
wider breach between England and
France, the greatest of the victors.
Gibbons makes out a strong case
against the wisdom, justice, fair
ness, and honesty of the peace set
tlement. Throughout, there has
been no real contribution to world
peace; In no case did a country, or
group of countries, act In the in
terests of anyone but themselves.
Gibbons writes very interestingly
as well as Informatively. Ho is a
journalist, and employs that vigor
ous style of writing so character
istic of all good Journalists. It is
evident, all through the book, that
he speaks from first-hand know
ledge, and hU words ring with a
great deal of conviction. His work
Is an excellent Introduction to a
study of modern political condi
tions in Europe.

OTHER STUDENTS SAY
ALTER OR ABOLISH
.Saturday, November 10, Is the day set for the
annual Freshman Sophomore Olympics. Several
years ago at the Introduction of this as an annual
affair, there was a purpose for it. It. was started to
unify the two under classes. Year by year since
then, we have seen this class contest gradually de
cline in the Interest of the student body. There must
be a reason for this declination.
There are two possible solutions for the oncom
ing fate of the Olympics. One Is to alter the
methods under which they are held and the other is
to abolish them entirely with the statement that
they have served their original purpose and are no
longer useful. J
At other schols where a similar kind of class j
contest is held, they are conducted by some major j
organization of the institution for a profit and the
attendance to them is compulsory. They are held
early in the year' so that weather conditions do not
interfere. The program which they follow is In thei
form of entertainment, and spirit and interest iti
them is created such as it Is for a football game. A
similar procedure might be followed at Nebraska
with the result being a more marked degree of
success.
It is apparent that if some change for the better
s not made soon that the freshman-sophomore Olym
pics will sink into oblivion. Perhaps In the minds of
a certain group this would be the better alternative
but with respect to the Olympics being rii estab
lished tradition it might be letter to employ a better
solution and attempt to keep them among the afore
mentioned traditions a while longer.

Gibbons denounces the treaties
Imposed upon the former enemies
by the Entente powers because
they create a situation that Is even
worse than the situation that led
to the outbreak of tho last great
war. The Allied statesmen were
dominated by two motives when
they wrote the peart' treaties: to
render their enemies absolutely Im
potent, and to grab as much of ihe
loot as they possibly could lay
their hands on. The first motive
sprang from a firce feeling of hat

FRESHMAN HAZING
Radically different wag the reception Jtlven Mu
dents entering tho 1'nlverslty of California at a
Angeles' for the first time thin year. Instead of be.
InK ubmltted to a aeries of humiliating ceremonies
and physical buffeting, freshmen were cordially
greeted by u'iperrla.smen, organized for f ut pur
pose, and offered every aaalstance In eaiabllHhing
themselves in their new environment.
Colleges are rapidly getting away from the pro
cess of initiating first year men into the ways of
college. This practice was started years ago when
poaslbly the gentry who made up the student body
of universities and colleges of that time needed in
itiating. Today, however, the practice has been
found to be detrimental rather than beneficial to
the welfare of the whole student body.
The University of California is not the first
collego to make this kind of a move. It has been
in the minds of those controlling colleges for some
time. The movement Is starting In the larger Insti
tutions of higher education, but It Is rapidly ex
panding to the smaller colleges and universities.
Psychologists have long wondered what prin
ciple hazing was working under. All Indications are
that the practice has been a failure, and now is the
time to correct that which Is not working in har
mony with the best Interests of the student body.
If this is a practice which Is not for the best of the
group, as all indications are that it Is not, then It
should no longer be practiced on our campus.
Much more could possibly be accomplished by
giving the students a real touch of hospitality than
by subjecting them to unscrupulous humiliation at
the hands of upperclassmen, and then a balance
made by giving older students who have proven
their actions worthy, more responsibility through
more privileges.
