National feel ing ran high. The dictator-tyrant vai overthrown, the country laced under military rule with friends of the massacred students this time behind the machine guns. Not to many months ago a tlmilrt- outbreak occurred In China. Through the pages of his tory, t has been the young men and omen In centers of learning who l-ve led the van to Intellec tual freedom. The martyrdom of Bolivia's 100 students recalls obso lete inquisitions of the Dark Ages, stands out ps a nightmare In the intellectual history of tfiis hemis phere. How different in the United States! Here students are guar anteed the right to speak and think nnd believe as they choose. If In light of their reasoning they wish to rebel against the existing order of things they may do so. But the students of the United States, with few exceptions, are intellectually asleep. They puddle onward, gul libe to anything that is told them, intellectual cowards, afraid to think for themselves, willing to sacrifice principle for position. Where the students could lead they lag behind. Where they are repelled and subjected to animal treatment, students are willing to go to any lengths in suppoit of their ideas and ideals. So goes human nature. ANOTHER LITTEn OF PUPS. RESPONDING to requests from The Nebraskan's summer eolymnist, Mr. Joseph Deming, a couple of anonymous letters drifted into the office after his outburst for student opinions last week. Now anonymous letters, to say the least, are rather nasty things to handle. Their contents is al ways, or nearly so, of a caustic, vitupcrous nature, usually of a personal bent. They have no value. Ordinarily they are rele gated to the waste basket after the staff gets a good laugh out of them. But because Mr. Deming is lib eral minded, the anonymous criti cisms of his coylmnizing are printed today. Some of the ele gant phraseology of El Hombre etc., was deleted because It sought to inform the world primarily of this hombre's cultural and aesthetic background and did not discuss in concise form any matter of stu dent interest. It is fortunate to have such a broad background; it is unfortunate to use it in such a narrow way. . Hereafter, however, opinions of the student tody, while cordially welcomed, will receive no space in The Nebraskan unless they are signed. A pseudo-name or in itials will be used in their publica tion, but the author must be will ing to reveal his identity to the editor who, being cognizant of journalistic ; ethics, will keep it in absolute and inviolable confidence if so disired ; , i ' And so The Nebraskan's sum mer Student Pulse today begins to beat a bit feebly to be sure, but still alive. May it become quick ened and more vigorous as the weeks pass by. May its column be an open forum of student sen timent. Signed opinions on mat ters ef university interest are so Till: licited In the interests of a letter Nelrakan and a tetter university. STUDENT PULSE THE SUMMER LOAD. To the editor Sir: To a graduate student the ideas expressed In the "Dog in the Man ger" tolumn are slightly amusing perhaps the brilliant young col umnist is Inexperienced in the ways of summer school, perhaps he fails to realize that after a winter of contact with the adoles cent mind, the weary pedagog has no desire to continue the? associa tion during the summer. Then tho thesis; certainly no graduate stu dent can be as boring as the downy faced sophomore (flunked variety) who glibly rattles off the names of th iitnrlium heroes who helped paddle him out at "the house." Casting no rcriecuon wnaievir on our learned Journalist, a cer tain remark made by one of the undergraduates might throw con siderable light on the subject: "We got three or four old maids in the class who've been teaching that darn stuff for fifteen or twen tv vrnr nnd that fool Drof expects us to know as much as they do." Seriously speaking, no one can expect to make a summer session resemble the regular college year until the proportionate study load per week is somewhere near the same. Why not have some inter collegiate summer athletics? Col lege baseball could be better han dled now than in the limited spring season. Why not make the campus more of a student center? - One of the Sickening Ones. PUSSY IN THE CORNER. To the editor Sir: After waiting anxiously since the first issue of the summer Rag appeared for a man sized growl from the "Dog in the Manger," I have come to the conclusion that this strange phenomenon is no dog at all, but some meek, sleek crea ture quite content to chew a well worn cud. I might dub him El Toro but he is far from being that virile. But nevertheless I hereby approach the Dog's habitat and am throwing him out head first. Everyone is spineless." "Lc chien," he speaks. If our self esteemed columnist had the right kind of tinder he might perchance strike a nparlt or two, and thus find meat for refutation. As it is ne alone is spineless and entirely devoid of ideas. To add insult to trouble, dog gie, you, as others before you, have tried to instill within your column that unobtainable Oxonian air. You used 100 or more good words trying to give everyone the impression that you are a gentle man of leisure or a youth back in the yard trying to find a spot in which to browse over Milton, Shelley, or Nick Carter. You rniht try the lounging rooms in thi "Y." Heie I think you would be entirely at home. One more suggestion before I pass on If, instead of going to all the shows depicting such dread ful and naughty scenes that only serve to annoy you, you wouid spend just a bit more time in get ting up your column, you might accomplish something. I'll be quite candid and tell you that "Dog in the Manger" is infinitely worse than "Between the Lines," and that was bad enough to merit Hamlet's comment on the state of affairs in Denmark. So get busy. Dog. and drag in a few juicy bones. And just when you are settling down to their suc culence I'll take them right away from you. That all this is very disiointed, 'tis true, but then one has to fight fire with fire. I'm challenging you to a battle through the medium of this paper for the rest of the summer ses sion. Are you game? El hombr2 quicn coge lo perros. DOG IN THE MANGER By Joe Deming. vrELL, I see that two gripe ses sions in this column have at last borne fruit. A couple of high powered exponents of the Young idea have entered the lists against me in the Student Pulse column. The results are gratifying, and I hope for more windmills to assail during the rest of the sitmmer.' The letters appearing today will be answered Friday. T7LOYD GIBBONS annoys me. To hear him, one would think that he had Just rushed up ten flights of stairs to spill the glad 'irvs. Whether speaking by fii-.i or radio, be never joses that breathless and childish garrulity. He always reminds me of the line, "For- NhNKASKAN. TUKSDAY, tvtr rari,lnE and forever young." IN COINCJ through some news 1 papers of a few months back, I ran across the account of a din ner given by Charles C3. Dawes to a group of European notables. It seems that the waiter appeared very awkward and continually spilled food and silverware on the guests, who politely refrained from noticing b! blunders. Finally, however, they became Indignant when the waiter leaned down and fumbled about a count ess legs, telling her to move out of the way while he picked up some silverware. At this Juncture. Dawes arose, told his guests that it was all a little Joke he had planned to entertain them, and In troduced the waiter as the comed ian. Leon Errol. Somehow, the guests failed to be entertained. "NE THINtl that always amuses me about the Eur opean attitude Is that, while they reject most things Am erican as being too sordid for them, still they never fail to adopt the latest of our slang phrases. When "Yes, we have no bananas" was invented by a group of moron song writers, this phrase was received warmly all over the con tinent, becoming, "Oul. nous n'avons pas des ananas," In France, and. "Ja. wlr haben keine banancn," in Germany. A RATHER pathetic example of the American reluctance to adopt European humor was seen in the way the English "beaver' craze fizzled in this country. The English seemed to find some exquisite and sultle humor in the sport of hounding bewhlskered and decrepit old codgers about the streets, crying after them. "Beav er! Beaver!" The craze even attained such proportions that a prominent car toonist was threatened with legal action because of the sacrilege in volved in a cartoon that was pub lished in Punch. This cartoon showed a drunk dangling from a lamp post while the royal carriage passed, pointing at King George, and shouting, "Beaver!" H, I almost forgot to com- ment on the glorious holi day that not only commemo rated the birth of our country, but also commemorates the end of the first half of the nine weeks summer term. Most of us have retired to lick our wounds and count missing fingers. I have returned from celebrating at York, and have no injury more serious than a sky-rocket burn. MISS MOORE IN MINNESOTA.
