STUDENT NATURE.
0VN In Oolivla 100 students
protesting: against dictatorial
Jove rnmental policies recently
were felled by machine gun fire
rover to rise again. 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

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?

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.
