Twenty-five prospective Daily
Nebraskan reporters met. yester
day morning at ten o'clock in the
Nebraskan offices for the first of
a series of newswriting classes
given by members of the staff. In
augurating this innovation, the ed
itors gave institutions in the fun
damentals of reporting. They were
advised by Laurence Hall, editor in
chief, that reporting is a profes
sion, and some sacrifices must be
made to succeed.
Bruce Nicoll, managing editor,
warned the students against using
the Nebraskan for an activity.
"This newspaper," he said, "is
chiefly a training ground for jour
nalism students, but we welcome
students from all colleges. How
ever, anyone who takes the Ne
braskan merely as an activity will
find himself in for a lot of hard
work." No partiality will be shown
toward Greed men, and every re
porter will be given a chance to
succeed on his abilities, according
to Nicoll.
Meetings will be held regularly
every Saturday morning, and the
beats will be assigned sometime
within the next week. In the
meantime, advised Nicoll, "Keep
out a nose for news."

Pastors of Lincoln churches and
religious secretaries yesterday
stated that they were well pleased

phasized by the local churches in
their plans for Friday night. The
programs sponsored by the differ
ent churches ranged from recep
tions for new and old students to
informal social gatherings to re
place the usual social activity of
the evening.
Approximately twenty-five local
churches participated in the event,
which was sponsored and origi

council of the university. Those
who participated are: Baptist,
Catholic, Lutheran. Presbyterian,
Christian, United Brethern, Re
formed churches, Methodist, Evan

ish temple was not open for a
student reception because the pro
gram fell in the midst of the High
Holidays.

Many Buy Blocks.
Karly indications point to th

Germany's central location and
the politics of former rulers has
made it difficult for its people to
achieve a national consciousness
said Dr. Fling. Instead, tribal
consciousness was common among
the German living in separate
kingdoms. Bismarck already gave
this impulse toward nationalism a
strong forward thrust, but not
until now, it seems to him, has the
German national self conscious
ness bubbled forth from its very
depths. In other words, Germany
is becoming a nation and is self
conscious of it What hapepns in
Germany today reminds Dr. Fling
of that day in 1790 when the
French people assembled in Mars
field and there erected an altar to
the fatherland. The same spirit

NAZIS SEEK PURE RACE
Atrocities Against Jews by Hitler's Storm
Troops Somewhat Overemphasized,
Prof. Pfeiler Believes.
By Virginia Selleck.
"Stories to the ;ffect that Nazi
officials in Germany are treating
political enemies inhumanly are
given perhaps too much attention."
Prof. W. K. Pfeiler, instructor in
the department of Germanic lan
guages, told a Daily Nebraskan re
porter in an interview Friday. Pro
fessor Pfeiler tourned Germany
while on his vacation this summer.
"During the first phase of the
revolution, unpleasant things un
doubtedly occurred, but public
atrocities have now ceased." Pfeil
er declared. "The suppression of
the Jews in Germany is practiced
now in a rather subtle way, and
would be indeed ridiculous if it
were not so tragic," he continued.
Jews Live Second Class.
Six hundred thousand .lews in
Germany are living Ihs lives cf
second class citizens, he said. How
ever, those in the various profes
sions who had participated in the
war have not been affected.
"The dislike of the Germans for
the Jews may have some basis."
Pfeiler stated, "since an excessive
number of them were holding pub
lic offices and other important po
sitions. After the revolution in
1918. very few educated people of
the middle classes supported the
republican government but so
many educated Jews offered their
services that the German repu'lic
was considered in the minds of
many Germans as being a republic
of Jews."
Race Parity Sought.
One of Hitler's fundamental
idea is race puritv, Pfeiler be
lieves. He wants Germany popu
