Those of the older generation admit a premoni tion that something is brewing on the campuses of the United States. A real youth movement may not be far in the offing. In the past there have been so-called youth movements bubbling in various sections of the United States, but they have died after living lives made useless by lack of cooperation, false pur poses, suppression, timidity, and internal dissen sion. Too often purposes have been idealistic but far from practical In many cases no distinct points upon which organizations could center their efforts have been outlined. That which has hampered youth movements in the past as much as anything else is lack of fore sight and 'going off half cocked, so to speak. Ne braska students can testify to that. One must re member that there is such a thing as acting too soon. O EALIZING the shortcomings of the past, snd cer tain of the need for some sort of intercollegiate organization to further the interests of a younger generation interested in building a tetter world for itself, the Association of College Editors may be the group which will fill the niche. On Sept 15 -owe thirty editors of college pa pers In eastern colleges and universities gathered in New York City and drafted the Covenant of the Association of College Editors. The preamble of the Covenants lists as the aims of the A. C. E.: "To i timulate the Interest of students thru-out the world in promoting international understanding and cooperation in the hope of ultimately achieving and insuring international peace and security; to arouse the students in the several countries to seek to understand and obtain an honest, intelligent, and efficient government; to enlist the aid of all students In securing a higher and sounder standard of liv ing la the spirit of the greatest good for the great est number; to provide media for public expres sion and direction of the thoughts and energies of both undergraduate and graduate students Inter ested in realizing these aims; to promote progressive education." To many readers this sounds like something they have heard before, and will be classified by them as trite, banal, and possibly the same old hooey.' But there is a difference In the situation. Heretofore college editors and college liberal or ganizations have had no national unity and no co ordination of program and central purpose. A co operative approach to the problems which confront the younger generation gives promise of effective ness. Editorial columns will embody somewhat the same program, expressed in terms of local camp uses, and journalism may, in later years, feel the jffect of joint action and Ideals. QjX the surface it appears that only the college paper will cooperatively plan a program, but students must take note of the fact that behind each college paper, and actually in charge of it Is the student body. Editors of college papers find It best to beed trends of student opinion, and to a certain degree to reflect them. College students, therefore, have a chance to take a hand in the for mation and carrying out of purposes and alms of A. C E. But before a student can exert any influence in this field he must take an active interest in af fairs of national, international, and consequently in dividual Importance. QTTR older contemporaries are either looking for ward or doing a good job of pretension. If students today can be crystallized into something tangible and clearly-defined nothing can stop or disregard it- A. C. E. is in a very good position for publicizing a developed and certain undergraduate opinion. A problem which the youth movement leaders must now solve, now that the medium of coopera tion seems to have been established. Is that of per petuation of ideals and continuation of program. Student bodies are so changing, and administrations aj college papers are so temporary in tenure that one program doesnt last long, nor does one group carry a program for long. tha same way, Mr. John Selleck, In charge of the drive, stated that this total of 3,700 is over twice as large as that of last year. The fine record compiled by last year's team accounts for the additional interest In football In this locality. People out in the state also helped Selleck top records for general sales to the public In that drive which took place this summer. Husker followers may, this tall, see new records for attend ance at Nebraska grid games established. Friday evening's student rally was a huge suc cess. It has been estiamted that between 1,500 and 2,000 students were present in the stadium when Coach Bible, the Nebraska football team. Coach Witte, and the Wyoming captain were presented. Such splendid response on the part of the student body gives promise of superlative rallies later this fall, especially preceding the Pitt game. Congratulations, fellow students! CONTEMPORARY COMMENT Praise For Senator Aye it is reasonable that one or the most popular men In the United States today is Senator Nye, pro gressive republican of North Dakota. As leader of the senate munitions committee investigating the arms traffic, Senator Nye has been able to un cover startling information concerning the under hand methods used by the international war racket eers and other vested interests. Every American who has the interest of peace at heart cannot help but have profound respect for the North Dakotan who is making such a de termined fight to take the profits out of war. True, Senator Nye is not charting his course alone. No doubt he Is being helped remarkably by others on the committee, but he is proving a splendid captain and has his ship headed in the right direction. For years now the munitions makers have gene on their easy ways unmolested. The policy of most governments towards the armament combines has been one of concerted aloofness in respect to inter ference with the munitions business. It has been a ghastly joke for the world to preach peace and practice war and the results have been surprising. Now we are promised action in the interest of peace. It is good that the war racketeers are being put on the spot, and it is good that we have such a capable leader as Senator Nye to lead the right eous forces. OKlahoma Daily. Browsing Among Tke Books Br Maurice Johnson TV'etr Spirit Prosperity JF student purchases of athletic tickets are any in dication of spirit, the present student body is the most spirited this campus has had for years. Two thousand three hundred students have bought Season tickets to Husker athletic contests this year. Three hundred faculty members have respan4e4 as What the well-dressed young man is reading I'm sure I dont know. He's possibly gone through a third of "Anthony Adverse" and has looked at the pictures in Esquire. Maybe he's picked rare and quotable passages from Tiffany Thayer's latest novel. At any rate, be doesnt give a hang for se rious poetry. Young Paul Engle, though, an Iowan now a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, writes veres hard to resist "American Song," Engle's second volume, has won eager recognition. The book includes the prize Century of Progress poem which was printed in Harriet Monroe's verse magazine and brought its author his first recognition. Whitman-like, Engle's poetry sees American life in grand and sweeping perspective. It is heartening, too, for it sings down despair with high-spirited hope in a time when chewing gall has become a national pastime. Practical-minded collegians have already pourei through the pages of Walter B. Pitkin's "New Ca reers for Youth." The male counterpart of Kath leen Norris, Pitkin put out new books with the regularity of clockwork, snd "Life Begins at Forty" and "More Power to You" are among his best sellers. In "New Careers for Youth," he denies any rosy future in law, medicine, education, aviation, radio, and other over-crowded or tottering careers. Glowing prospects be finds in engineering, farm management, applied psychology. Civil Service, and market research. The United States public school, says Mr. Pit kin, is a failure. College is an affair of doubtful value. Thousands of youths preparing for medi cine, law, and education, will find this an unpleasant book and jobs will flutter more elusively ahead. "Make your own Jobs," Mr. Pitkin gravely counsels. Much is expected from Albert Halper, a young Chicagoan in New York. His "Union Square" was halleluiahed and "The Foundry," just out is receiv ing a still more enthusiastic ovation. Of Albert Halper says Sinclair Lewis: T want to blow bugles for him." A spokesman for the proletariat, Halper writes prose reminiscent of Sherwood Anderson's, but it has more restraint In "The Foundry" he succeeds in giving poetic elevation to a theme of industry. Albert Halper says: 'Tm not a snooper, I dont go around looking for stories, but I know what I know, I know what Z have seen. If I was born in a raw slangy town, if I happened to see raw slangy things, why shouldnt toy stuff be raw, slangy?" Also: "Yes, folks, I know many stories. And once I was acquainted with a very clever fellow. He told me that if you place a chair upon a table you create a new height. The world is full of clever folk, and Pm not so bad myself. Only I am too modest, I am not aggressive enough." In a day or two "The Folks," Ruth Suckow's long novsl of American life, should appear oa book counters. Aa ambitious work, "The FoIVi" is cen tered in the Middle West known so well to Iowan Miss Suckow, but its scene extends to both sea boards. A few years ago Miss 8uckow published in Scribner's an essay which serves splendidly as a forerunner to her novel. In it she distinguishes be tween the "big majority who still make up the folks. jtd the small out by so means inarticulate or imtifluential 'civilized minority who comprise self-acknowledged intelligentsia." The letter re gard folks Die, with Us "organised yelling, clubs, university spirit, chain stores, and riding round and 1 round in automobiles as completely out of idea ' of culture." The Folks" win be much talked of in th months to coma. The yell leaders started out in real fashion at the Wyoming game yesterday. Last year they were men criticised for loafing on the job, so Saturday they complied a new record for total yils in one game. "Nothing like working a crowd into condition.

MUST RESTORE PROFITS TO BUSINESS AND DIVI DENDS TO INVESTORS BEFORE RECOVERY REACHED, SAYS LEROS SIGN0L. (Continued from Page 1.) the present economic order is to be destroyed and socialism is to take its place. But if balanced inflation be undesirable or impracticably as it seems to be, the only alterna tive is readjustment by the tempo rary scaling down of all the ex penses of production." Dean LeRossignol writes that most business men are useful, in some way or other, to society. He bj;ves they give "something for something, service for service." Some of them, he admits, are as wolves among lambs, but he be lieves that if man is a predatory anial, preving will continue, more or less, under anv new social order. Control Predatory People. "Evidently, the issue Vtween service and profit in business re solves itself into a question of con trol of predatory people rather than the destruction of the eco nomic order," he writes. "And, in fact, they are controlled and can be still better controlled, by cus tom, ethical standards, public opinion, education, enlightened pelf interest competition, law and the other social forces which limit and hold in check the acquisitive and the predatory desires of man and even make them work for the gen eral good. To say that capitalism must be destroyed beccuse oomc capitalists acquire and enjoy ex cessive profit is much like saying that the human race should be sterilized because of the many evils connected with the sexual life." Some governmental agency might perform the function of business enterprise, Dean LeRos signol says, but such service can not be carried on without profit even by the government, unless the state can get loans from "private capitalists, or make up deficits from the bottomless purse of the taxpayer." Unsound Practices. "Such unsound financial prac tices, which are all too common in state enterprises," writes the dean, "can be carried on for a time on a relatively small scale, but there are limits beyond which they cannot go; for, as governmental under takings increase and private ac tivities and resources diminish, we approach a point at which the state will be unable to borrow for the extension of its services or levy taxes to make up deficits . . .' "Meanwhile, then," concludes the university writer, "idealist who glorify service should be real istic enough to recognize the fact that in the present economic order and the present state of human na ture, all those who contribute to the Joint product which we call the national income must have suitable shares in the same, if that joint product is to be maintained and augmented." PUB. BOARD SETS UP S7UDE2TT LOAN FUND OF $5,000 Continued from fage 1). the lowest possible figures con sistent with sound business prac tice, and to release for student loans the sum named. Since the student publication board undertook closer supervision of the finances of the campus pub lications several years ago it has consistently endeavored to present those publications to the student body of the university as cheaply as possible according to Professor Walker. The board purposes to make them available as nearly at vmt as that cost figure can be estimated, with a slight margin for unforeseen contingencies. As a result of this policy Ne braska students are able to pur chase their publications at a price which nas steadily declined, ana which Is now lower than at most other universities and colleges. The late Prof. M. M. Fogg, long time chairman of the publication board, cherished the dream of fl nancing, at least In part the erec tion of a Student Publication building out of the profits of the publications. The present board likewise hcrea to be able to equip suitable publications offices when ever ruture campus development results in the erection of suit able building. Present quarters are admittedly inadequate. CLMIANTS By MEREDITH OVERTECK.

Dwight Kirsch, chairman of the department of fine arts, showed some of his pictures of Ne braska at a meeting of the Ki wanis club Friday evening. During the past year military drill was made optional at both the University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin. The sentiment against compulsory drill in universities is steadily growing.
