The Need of
Youth's Vote.
A LL over the United States and the rest of the
world during the past few years youth has been
doubting, wondering, and trying to plan for the
future. There are conservative intercollegiate or
ganizations and there are radical and supposedly
radical groups and tendencies. A minority of col
lege students in each section of this nation is view
ing current problem's with seriousness, with all the
Insight It can summon, and with a plea to the older
generation to help rather than hinder.
The present tendency is more and more toward
a planned existence laid out in blue-print form by
psychologists, dictators, bureaucracies, educators,
and religious leaders. Most ineffective of the gov
ernors Is the last, but the first two of the directors
are rapidly gaining ground in designing patterns
of modem life. Psychology is a science of the fu
ture, and most people are hoping dictatorship is a
system soon to become of the past.
Are we to have something forced on us that we
don't want, merely because we are regarded as too
young to be heard ? Are we to be denied the oppor
tunity of thinking our way through our own diffi
culties? Is it our duty or fate to goose-step to the
tune of what has come before us, because ancient
institutions are hallowed by time, and are consid
ered too sacred to be subjected to revision? Youth,
or at least a certain section of it, is asking such
questions as these.
Si
This nation is now in the midst of a turbulent
pre-election period. Many of the leaders are pulling
political strings, duping and deceiving the public.
College students are part of that public, and many
of them are at a voting age. They should study and
understand the world as it is, know what is going
on in this nation, what questions are issues in this
election, and then vote as they see fit. It is highly
Important that college voters look into the future,
come to the realization that some day this genera
tion that is now the younger one will some day be in
control. They will then ben helping guide that ma
chine, that system, which they must some day
handle.
International affairs are rapidly coming to the
fore as topics of importance and interest as far as
the domestic government of the United States is
concerned. President Roosevelt, tho some may not
have noticed it, has studied and worked with United
States foreign affairs probably more than any
President since Wilson. This is a field with which
the public must become acquainted.
American Institutions have been subjected to
attacks both weak and strong since the period of
depression began. It Is termed by some as being
a period of transition. Most of us have a vague idea
of what the goal Is, but very few. If any, are sure
as to that President Sproul of the University of
California stated in his speech of greeting to Fresh
men at that institution that he is sick and tired of
attacks being made on contemporary American In
stitutions. But still young people, looking objective
ly at the world, are aware of the poverty, depravity,
mlsgovernment, public ignorance, and other defects.
Students on the Nebraska campus should be
come public-spirited enough to study their world ob
jectively, see the future as clearly as possible, un
derstand the present political situation, and vote in
the November elections.
Left Stay
Behind Them.
Monday many students on and about the cam
pus were somewhat downcast about the outcome of
the Minnesota-Nebraska football game last Satur
day. Some showed their false spirit by griping, and
others looked st developments in the right light.
'Iowa will lick us as badly as Minnesota did,"
said one so-called student follower Monday.
"Yea, Iowa's always good," said a buddy.
"Sure, but so's Nebraska," declared number
three.
Many conversations of this type can be heard
on the campus, but it seems that in far loo many
cases commendable attitudes such as that exhibited
by number three are lacking.
Coach Bible's Nebraska fotoball team has a
tough schedule ahead of it They stand a good, too
good, a chance of losing several tilts this fall, and
still being one of the best grid teams in the nation.
Such grinding, demanding schedules are encoun
tered by few of the many college teams In this
country.
Nebraska is most certainly and emphatically a
footballized state, so to speak. Every year eyes of
followers hundreds of miles away are centered on
Memorial stadium to see what Professor Bible is
doing with his charges. State loyalty rises to new
heights in the fall, and is expressed very vocifer
ously by defenders of the Cornhuskers.
But students and people of the state, is this
merely fair weather loyalty? Let's hope not! After
the disastrous 1930 season many sports writers were
saying that at last Nebraska was due to go down
the skids from the grid pinnacle It had assumed so
long before and adopted for truch a length of time.
But It seems that teams since that time didn't take
the critics seriously, and embarrassed them consid
erably. Yea, Nebraska football Ujb.s art always good.
teams of which the people of this state have every
right to be proud. But it isn't only the record of
victories that should Instill pride; there is also the
reputation for sportsmanship, clean playing, and
general first-rate manhood to be considered
perpetuated by Nebraaka teams and followers.

The Curtain
Has Risen .
Monday night the University Players, sole stage
show producers in Lincoln, opened their 1934-1935
season presenting Koith Winter's English drama
"The Shining Hour" on the Temple theater stage.
Earlier this fall Tsssels, women's pep club, con
ducted a successful ticket sales campaign for Uni
versity Players, and as a result the Players will be
playing to crowds representative of the entire city
of Lincoln this season. Because they are the sole
stage players in the city, and because citizens of
Lincoln flock to their shows Players for years have
been presenting outstanding drama. They are truly
a source of pride for the university, in so far as
they represent the cultural side of the institution.
Students on the campus who failed to take ad
vantage of the low price opportunity during the an
nual drive this fall will be missing a part of Uni
versity life capable of being instrumental in their
cultural development during fhelr college years.
The Nebraskan wishes the University Players
a successful season, and congratulates them on the
list Of plays they have arranged, to present this year.
TANGLED YARNS
BY
O. W. D.
With the world series dividing front page hon
ors with the latest Spanish revolt one has to search
the smaller headlines and inside pages for recent
political development Even the Lindbergh case has
been taken off the front pages, as Manager Mickey
Ccchrane of the Detroit Tigers, and Manager
Frankie Frisch, of the St. Louis Cardinals battle for
the world series bunting. The count stands at three
all. "Schoolboy" Rowe, "Dizzy" and "Daffy" Dean
have seen service in the last two days leaving Coch
rane with Eldon Auker, former Kansas State ball
player, "Firpo" Marberry, and "General" Alvin
Crowder In reserve. Frisch has "Wild Bill" Halla
han, Bill Walke and Tex Carleton ready to go to
work. Bets will be paid off Tuesday, so have your
money ready.
Strolling back to the political news of the day,
one finds that all of the 435 members of the House
of Representatives are up for re-election. During
the last session of congress, the democrats had 313
members, the republicans, 113, and the remaining 9
were farm-laborites, or vacant seats. (Some people
contend that there should be more of the latter.)
Washington political observers in speaking of the
current election seem unanimous in their belief that
the republicans will gain some seats in the House.
The number that they estimate depending upon
whether the observer is republican or democratic.
Reliable sources point out, however, that if the re
publicans gain less than 50 seats, it can be said to
be a sweeping victory for the New Deal, while if
the republicans gain over 50 representatives, it is
an indication that the trend is swinging against
Roosevelt policies. There is no chance for the re
publicans to gain control unless a landslide analo
gous to the 1932 election occurs, and at. present
writing that is just about as probable as New York
Times becoming the official organ for the commu
nistic party.
Which all brings us down to the Nebraska po
litical set-up in the five congressional districts. In
the first district which surrounds Lncoln, one finds
Marcus Poteet republican, opposing Henry Luckye,
democrat In the second district, of which Omaha
is the center, Herbert Rhodes, republican, opposes
Charles F. McLaughlin, democrat The third dis
trict, around Norfolk, finds Karl Stefan, republi
can, going after the scaip of Edgar Howard, demo
cratic incumbent; while in the fourth district, in the
Hastings territory, C. G. Binderup, democrat, is
speech-making against J. W. Hammond, republican.
The "Big Fifth," extending roughly from Kearney
to the Wyoming line, is interested in the fight be
tween A. N. Mathers, republican, and Harry Coffee,
democrat. Several petition candidates have en
tered the field, two being listed from the second
district, and one from the "Big Fifth."
To get away froin the local scene of politics, in
fact quite a bit away, one finds Spain in the midst
of Its sixth revolt since the founding of the second
republic, May 14, 1931. Greeting the 24-hour gov
ernment of Premier Alejandro Lerroux with wide
spread rebellion, rebellious Spaniards have centered
their activities in Madrid, Catalonia and Barcelona.
Since King Alphonso XII left Spain for the more
healthful climes of other European countries in
1931, the Spanish radicals began using bullets in
stead of ballots in July, 1931. eing unsuccessful,
they tried it again in January, 1932; January, 1933;
December, 1933; and gave the tak over to the
monarchists in August, 1933. The monarchists also
being unsuccessful, the radicals have again taken
over the job, and with about the same amount of
success according to press dispatches. The Spanish
have been very quiet people for years, but their tem
persment evidently is not unlike that of a volcano
they can wait Just so long, and then they have to
blow up.
Current interest In Nebraska, to get back once
again t? politics, la now centering around the cam
paign that Senator George Norris is making in be
half of the unicameral legislature. . . . The Gene
O'Sullivan fight to have Secretary of State Swanson
place his name on the ballot as petition candidate
for United States senator Is also attracting consid
erable interest . . . O'Sullivan, thru his lawyer, has
filed a mandamus action with the state supreme
court to force Swanson to do this. . . . The party
circle fight it having been abolished much to the
disgust of many politicians by the last legislature,
is also up before the supreme court of the state,
and If the action of the legislature Is upheld, Ne
braska voters can no longer mark an X after their
party preference without the trouble of going down
the ballot in search of candidates of their party
choice. ... We might also add, that the debate be
tween "Bob" Simmons and Ed Burke, republican
and democratic senatorial candidates respectively
has been scheduled for October 26th. in Lincoln.
Keep that date In mind.
Another thing to watch closely is the action of
the Nebraska farmers in their vote on the Agricul
tural Adjustment Administration's Corn-Hog pro
gram. Agriculture Is the state's greatest industry,
and as the farmer goes, so goes Nebraska.

Current Events.
Instruction.
There is something needed in college education.
It is the ability on the part of the student to be able
to live more fully in this present world, not only
culturally, but as a citizen whose vision extends not
only to appreciating significant events in his own
country but other countries. Of course, the college
courses a student "takes" give him a certain appre
ciation of the past, and are supposed to enable him
to be alert to important changes which are alwaays
molding a new world, a new civilization.
But, sadly enough, few undergraduates have
acquired the knack of keeping up to the dynamic,
changing world of events both here and abroad.
They also fail to keep up with new developments in
literature, sociology, economics, finance and govern
ment. True, it's a difficult art this ability to "keep
up with the world." It requires other abilities the
right way to read newspapers and know where to
find certain specialized magazines, a complete
knowledge of library facilities. But this knack
could be acquired in a rather short period of time.
A one-semester course, with the daily news
nonpr as the text and a competent instructor as a
fcuide, would teach students the way to keep up with
current events and would point the way for fui Llier
self-development and education after collegiate life.
Too often, a student's interest in some special field
such as literature or political science dies after
graduation, because he does not know where to find
information concerning new developments in these
fields.
But most important, students would learn to or
ganize and integrate their knowledge to give intelli
gent opinions on world events. By using knowledge
for the immediate present, students would acquire a
greater desire for knowledge itself. By having their
sphere of interest extended beyond the bounds of
the campus to rational and international events,
students will succeed to a cosmopolitan citizenship.
It would mean a more tolerant, sympathcic and
peaceful citizen would be nurtured for a more inter
dependent world.
We earnestly recommend to the Administration
a current events course, compulsory for freshmen,
to be given twice weekly, and having two semester
credits. If our freshmen must take a course to
learn to take care of their bodies, in Physical Edu
cation, and so help to preserve their existence, sure
ly a course that would teach students how to live
in the actual present, as wide-awake citizens and intellectually-developed
individuals would not be su
perfluous and profitless. Students need the equip
ment to understand what is going on now and not
merely what has happened in the formative past.

DENVER COEDS LIKE
CHARACTER IN MEN
Thr Denver Clarion.
Altho virility has been chosen by
the coeds of the University of Pen
nsylvania as the characteristic
most desired in men, women stu
dents at the University of Denver
are agreed that character is the
trait of primary importance.
Recently a questionnaire circu
lated among seventy-five coeds at
the University of Pennsylvania by
Dr. Karl G. Miller, member of the
psychology department of that
school, to determine the most im
portant characteristic of man as
demanded by women was pub
lished in a local newspaper. A
similar survey was conducted this
week by the Denver Clarion for
the purpose of finding the attitude
of the women students of the Uni
versity of Denver.
THIRTY-SEVEN
FAVOR CHARACTER
In the survey on the campus it
was found that thirty-seven of the
seventy-five women interviewed
required character in men. Char
acter ranked second in the Penn
sylvania tabulations.
The list submitted to the women
include the following character
istics: Intelligence, economic sta
tus, character and temperament.
CHARACTER SECOND
AT PENNSYLVANIA
Forty-seven students of the
eastern school selected , virility;
character was chosen for second
place; intelligence rated third and
appearance fourth. At the Univer
sity of Denver the characteristics
were chosen in the following order:
Character, intelligence, tempera
ment, and virility was a poor
fourth.
Women of the University of
Pennsylvania chose virility as the
primary characteristic because
"certainly a man who has health,
alertness, enthusiasm, tolerance,
and endurance cannot be a fail
ure." Tabulations for Denver survey
are:
Character 37
Intelligence 22
Temperance 5
Virility
Appearance 3
Economic status 2
Social status 1
Education 1
Special Interests 0
Altho no definite opinions were
stated, most of the women who
chose character believe that if a
man possesses character he must
have intelligence and education,
and will eventually achieve social
status.
