And Peace.
Y7ITHOLT benetlt 01 pyrotechnics Paul Harris,
' pacifist and leader of the Youth Movement for
World Recovery, presented in his Wednesday noon
luncheon talk a reasoned approach to the problems
involved in the Japanese program of imperialism.
Describing the situations actually facing Japan,
Harris .sketched the implications as they efected
relations between nations, and relations between the
peoples of the nations.
No flag-waving program of action was urged. No
emotional appeal to extiavagant youthful passions
was made. Facts were the basis of the Harris
thesis. And the facts pointed in one direction
to Peace.
It was made plain that Japan was imperialistic,
but it was also indicated that her imperialism had
no place in the world if the United States allows a
belligerent nationalism to dominate her dealings
with Japan. How militaristic influences operate
was among the topics touched, and the race for
naval supremacy between Japan and United States
even now going on, was condemned, as was the
ease with which American arms manufacturers
find a market for their products in the Far East.
Chief among the aims expressed was the hope
that the United States should make a thoro-going
attempt to show herself a leader among nations de
voted to peace, by entering the World Court, by
pledging peace in non-aggression pacts with Russia
and Japan and by making the "friendly gesture" of
withdrawal of the Pacific fleet.
These are the highest kind of objectives. They
are the kind of objectives, indeed, with which educa
tion strives to inculcate students, and their shining
idealism is more than just a little heartening in the
complexities of today's world. Disagreement with
the aims may be rife, but that does not detract from
the fundamental value of their expression.
The nobility of idealism was woven into Mr. Har
ris' remarks, all the more satisfactory because it
was built on a reailistic recognition of facts. The
Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., sponsors of the pro
gram, are to be commended on having secured Paul
Harris for the campus.
the Homecoming game with Kansas State Satur
day. Commenting on the band's attitudes and ac
tions, the Kansan points out that thruout the nego
tiations the musicians have shown themselves con
siderate and very fair.
"In this controversy," declares the Kansan, "the
musicians have conducted themselves with a sur
prising amount of decorum a factor thHt seldom
characterizes 'student revolts.' Now that the au
thorities have acceded to three of their six demands,
the bandsmen have sensibly decided to 'go back to
the mines' pending the outcome of the University
Senate meeting in November.
Whatever the success or failure ot the musi
cians' platform, they will win or lose their points
with a clean record. The charge will never be laid
against them that they took unfair advantage of
their situation."
That almost sums up the little digression to an
other campus. The Kansans acted fairly and with
wisdom. How many of their neighboring organiza
tions at Nebraska would have been dominated by
the same good sense?
.4 Possible
Solution.
TT SPRIT de corps in the colleges, a favorite subject
for editorial speculation, was in evidence Wed
nesday night when the Bisad college held its annual
honors convocation and banquet Last night's af
fair was the eighteenth of the series.
It is an event like this that ties the professional
interests of students with their social concerns, and
hence is a step in the direction of remedying what
American educators are told is their greatest fault.
"You don't get into the lives of your students"
that's the frequent criticism. But attempts are con
stantly being made to achieve the coordination de
sired, and things like the Bizad banquet are among
those attempts.
Such events can be criticized, of course, on the
ground that they do not really appeal equally to
all the members of the college group, but the Ne
braskan believes they come nearer to catching the
interest of all undergraduates within the group than
almost any other type of project on the campus.
When professional interests are made the basis for
an appeal in the social realm, more students can be
persuaded to participate in an activity than when
the appeal is almost entirely social as in the fra
ternity or when the appeal is entirely professional
as in most small professional groups.
Social and quasi-social affairs in the colleges and
departments may very well be the best solution for
linking educational and professional interests with
the actual lives of students. The Bizad banquet is
on of the major steps in that direction.
We're Asking
You.
rOWN at Kansas the Jayhawk bandsmen have
been conducting a little conflict, seeking prin
cipally to have their activity put on a credit basis,
They presented a petition asking the same recog
nition given other similar organizations on the cam
pus, desiring academic credits for their work. The
affair went so far, in fact, that the band announced
its intention of striking if their requests were not
given consideration.
Now, from the columns of the Daily Kansas it is
learned that the band, since there has scarcely been
time for its requests to be properly considered, has
extended its ultimatum and "so as not to seem un
reasonable" the band has announced it will play for
Seasonal
A-B-Cs.
ORDERS for economy in the use of heat, water,
and electricity on the campus were issued yes
terday by L. F. Seaton. operating superintendent of
the university. In view of the limited buaget pro
vided for in the last session of the Legiesiature, the
announcement was timely as well as justifiable.
At the same time, Miss Particular, whose voice is
also raised in the article "Heat and Cold" in the
Contemporary Comment department this morning,
raises a question which cannot be discarded with a
shrug of the shoulder. While the immediate ques
tion urged by that imaginary but none the less im
portant young lady bears no startling revelations,
it does furnish the basis for a glance at a warning
signal which might well be a handkerchief at half
mast. The point, somewhat involved, is that without
great care in the application of the administrative
order for economy, the temperature in poorly-regulated
rooms will be dangerous to student health.
Colds are still among the mysteries, even for mod
ern medical science, and care is necessary ror their
prevention.
More than the danger of colds themselves there
is also the danger of impaired mental and physical
condition thru slighter but still important careless
ness in regulating actual ventilation. There is, too,
since the subject of ideal conditions is being consid
ered, the constant necessity for attention to the
lighting in each room. It is to be hoped that every
effort will be made to adhere to the "economy or
der" without losing sight of these simple necessities
for health.

MISS DENNIS SPEAKS
One of the important speakers
at the Nebraska State Teachers
convention this week is Dr. Lemo
T. Dennis, Home Economics grad
uate from the University of Ne
braska. Miss Dennis, a field work
er in child development and paren
tal education for the American
Home Economics association. Is
the special guest of the Home Eco
nomics department.
After graduating from Ne
braska, Dr. Dennis went to Merrill
Palmer Nursery School in Detroit
to do advanced work in child de
velopment. Later she studied at
Columbia and then at Corn?ll,
where she received her doctor cf
philosophy degree for work in
family relationships. For a while
before taking up her present work,
Miss Dennis was director of the
observation house for the Roches
ter Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children, Rochester,
N. Y. She had there a splendid op
portunity to utilize her training in
home economics, sociology, and
child guidance.
Dr. Dennis will speak in the lec
ture room of Chemistry hall Fri
day afternoon at 3 o'clock cn
"Teaching Family Relationships."
After her lecture she will be one
of the honored guests at a tea to
be given at the new home manage
ment house by the Home Econom
ics association. Miss Margaret
Fedde, department chairman,
urges all the girls to attend this
lecture and hear Miss Dennis be
cause she is a well known author
ity in child development work.
Members of the university Home
Economics association will have
charge of the tea Friday after
noon at the Home Management
House. Catherine Agnew, the as
sociation social chairman, is in
charge of arrangements.
AG GIRLS DANCE.
The Home Economics associa
tion is inviting all the new and
freshman girls on he Ag campus
to the social dancing hour today
which they will sponsor every
other Thursday noon in the Stu
dent Activities building. Last year
the dancing hour proved so suc
cessful as a means of better ac
quainting the girls of the various
classes with each other that the
association felt it would be well
worthwhile to sponsor them again.
FAR EAST.
Admittedlv not directly related
to the interests of Ag college
students, some of the remarks of
Paul Harris jr., concerning Japan
and her position in the world to
day might still be found interest
ing. Harris, head of Youth Move
ment for World Recovery spoke
on that subject at a luncheon at
the Gram! hotel Wednesday noon.
The people of Japan are an an
cient people, Harris pointed out.
The nation has retained its identity
centurys longer than most of the
present important nations, and all
their present actions and attitudes
are influenced by that fact. Ja
pan's modernism is only mordern
ism applied to their ancient prin
ciples and institutions.
When Japan first came to be a
world power, she discovered that
the other important world powers
held seven-eights of the area of
the globe. She found that the
other important powers held all
the way from fifty to one hun
dred times as much territory in
the form of possessions as the
size of the mother country. En
gland, the leader, had one hundred
times as much territory as. the
size of the mother country. The
United States had been aggressive
in both oceans and had control
over several important island pos
sessions. Japan Feels Her Power.
Looking at itself, Japan saw
that it too, was a world power,
that it ad 50 million people and
only one-sixtieth of its mother land
fit for cultivation. It was aware
that it had been engaged in many
wars and had nevor lust one. It
saw in Manchuria as a territory
as large as Iowa, Missouri. Ne
braska and rxilh Dakotas with
twice their population. In Man
churia, Japan saw an economic
hope, a political hope, and a mili
tary hope.
Now that the Japs have invaded
Manchuria, according to Harris,
they find themselves in a position
of "wondering. A small group in
the country are sure of what they
want they want military aggres
sion. But the great majority of
the people are wondering. Evi
dence of the indecision in the coun
try is shown by the votes of Jap
anese students on questions of
fundamental importance.
Questioned as to whether they
would give their government un
qualified support, only fifty-six in
one hundred said "yes." Six flatly
said "no." And thirty-one were
doubtful. Questioned as to their
unqualified support of the capital
istic system, six said "yes," three
said "no," and eighty-three were
doubtful.

Contemporary Comment
Passing
The Buck.
"Passing the Buck" is as old as
history. Adam originated the idea
when he placed the blame for his
misdemeanor upon shoulders
other than his own. Today the
practice is prevalent in business
whee it is employed to facilitate
the handling of matters not of suf
ficient importance to warrant per
sonal attention by the executive
heads. In this connection "passing
the buck' is undoubtedly used to
advantage. The men at the top
realize that their time is more
profitably spent when they are car
ing for what is incapable of man
agement by those below them; they
also take' into consideration the
f.ut that many items of routine
are attended to in better fashion
by a subordinate accustomed by
experience to a mastery of the de
tails. At college the element of "pass
ing the buck" is, possibly, even
mure evident than in the outside
world, while its working presents
a decided contrast to that men
tioned above. In business it is sys
tematized efficiency: in the univer
sity it is, frequently, lethargy
an' apathy to things in general,
marked by a willingness to permit
another to bear the load that is
not rightfully his. Proof of this
statement is to be found in the
comparatively limited number of
undergraduates who devote them
selves to an active support of a
particular activity, by the readi
ness with which the average man
nbout college consents to the no
tion that student's affairs can be
best controlled by someone who
has merited confidence by his per
formance on some previous occa
sion but who has merited confi
dence by his performance on some
previous occasion but who. prob
ably, has ample to occupy his
spare moments without additional
burdens. This tendency is relevant
to athletics as to the. holding of
executive positions. In the execu
tive itself the tault very often is
that the principle of "passing the
buck" is not competently put into
force; a few undertake all respon
sibility, when if they would induce,
as Admiral Sims so well em
phasized the other clay, others to
share in the work and so to com
prehend their responsibilities, tluy
would render its execution less
troublesome and more efficient.
A stricter reliance upon this
rule of business conduct would aid
those in student offices; while
lessened inclination on the part oi
the student body s a whole to al
low their affairs to renter In the
hands of a few would result
equally beneficially.

One doesn't have to know much
about the history of the human
race and its development these
chilly mornings to realize what
a slight change in temperature
can tio to affect the human body
and, if prolonged, to affect both
its mental and physical state.
With the chill of fall becoming
more and more pronounced each
morning it is well for those in
charge of heating and ventilating
University buildings to take cog
nizance of the situation and try
to use to best advantage the
heating, ventilation and humid
ity controls at their command.
It is a long recognized fact that
the efficiency of people at work,
whether mentally or manually, is
directly affected by the surround
ing atmosphere. A hot, dry at
mosphere with .little ventilation
transforms a 1 o'clock class into
an impromptu dormitory even be
fore the calling of the roll is com
pleted. The apparent drowsiness and in
difference of some c lasses might
be completely eliminated if the in
structors paid some attention to
the heating, ventilation and humid
ity of the room. The University
buildings are fully equipped for at
mosphere control and this equip
ment should be used to the best
advantage.

China is the pet nation of the
world, according to Harris. All the
other nations are interested in see
ing her "open door" policy main
tained. They want her to be pro
tected from aggression, they have
refused to recognize Japan's rights
in the territory she took by that
method; but at" the same time they
have freely developed their own in

Japan in Disfavor.
As a consequence of her aggres
sion in China. Japan finds herself
in a difficult position. She has
gained the disfavor of other world
lowers by her aggressing and be
cause she walked out of the Gen
eva conference. She had weakened
her own military power by invad
ing North China". China is a more
unified nation than before Japan
entered. Japan has the expense
of policing the area she has taken.
Her actions have made China and
Russia more friendly, and that is
uncomfortable for japan. She is
forced by internal necessity, and
because she wants to maintain
herself as a world power, to pur
sue an aggressive policy, and at
the same time her actions provoke
the disfavor of the nations she
hopes to equal. She is in a posi
