As a matter of custom and what they think is good practice, Daily Nebraskan editors criticize ad versely what they think should be so treated and commend that which is commendable in their opin ion. Nothing better nor more can be asked than that they tread carefully the path to conclusions. It seems to be the habit of readers to fail to note words of praise in the editorial columns and to give special attention to adversely critical comments. It has been suggested by various readers of this publication that the Nebraskan seems to make It an editorial custom to find fault with every ex isting institution on the campus and to urge changes In all quarters. It is true that editors of this paper write more editorials of condemnation than essays of praise. The reason is obvious. It is alright to recognize satisfactory circumstances, but mere rec ognition of such situAions and ignoring of bad points does not make for progress. It is the duty of a school paper to survey the campus, isolate bad points, and attempt to correct them thru exposi tion and suggestion. When an editor's opinions coincide with those of his readers he is in an invulnerable position, but if he isn't blind and there are obviously undesirable situations existing, his conscience should hurt. It is hard to decide which results in the most discom fortblind complacency or aggressive liberalism and public mindedness. The Daily Nebraskan editor believes that his main duty is to interpret and picture his campus for the benefit of the readers. He must be convinced of the correctness of his beliefs and convictions and then must summon all of his force and intelligence in speaking to his readers. A student paper often leads student opinion after forming it But when the editor attempts to form student opinion on any particular sub ject he must be careful not to offend. Any one resents a preaching attitude adopted by his equals. Pure and simple reasoning goes farther than con descension. It Is highly important that any one voicing opinions or prejudices (as you like it) offer free dom of expression to the opposition. The Nebras kan editor offers the Student Pulse column to that group, and even goes so far as to admit that little tid-bits of praise are appreciated. By this time readers of this column have prob ably or should have arrived at the conclusion that a college newspaper editor is in a quandary. He doesn't know which way to step. His conscience dictates this, his desire for comfort and general laziness dictate that. It seems that it is best to follow one's conscience while he can, that is while he is still in college. In colleges and universities there ia at least a certain and obviously varying freedom of speech unlike and superior to any exist ing outside of those institutions. It is the purpose of the editor of the Nebraskan, and most others as a matter of fact, to commend what should be commended and to berate what needs berating. He does his best to make an intel ligent approach to problems, and in so doing hopes to appeal to Intelligent students. If he needs cor rection or a little outside guidance or suggestion he Is open to it In conclusion, the editor would like to say that for as long a time as he can possibly do so he will apeak his mind according to the dictation of his honest opinion. He has tried and will try to base his honest opinion on a little thought and all the Intelligence that he is able to summon. Broadening Education. Dr. Lwis Perry, president of Phllllps-Exeter academy, at Andover, Massachusetts, last week pre dicted the downfall of specialization and the su premacy of the more broad, liberal education. To explain his idea of liberal education he said, "A liberal school is one where the faculty teach not only biology or French, but life; where the emphasis of Intellectual curiosity is stressed rather than that of passing examinations; where the students are trusted and are therefore trustworthy; and where getting Into a rut is not only a mistake but a sin." There has always been competition in all edu cational in3Ututiona between two separate and dis tinct ideas. Namely, these ideas are that education should fit one for life and living, and that education should fit one for some particular vocation. Until the present time the latter idea has held almost complete sway over the majority of schools. Educa tion has consisted mainly of highly frpecializcd or technical training. Kvcn attempts to Instill culture into the minds and souls of students have been standardized and patterned. An education was no thing more nor less than an effective stepping stone to a position of some sort. Things have changed now. The specialist is handicapped when his particular field is full. He is prepared to do only one thing and is uniibln to fit himself into something else. He is even unable to fit himself to his environment because he has had no education along the lines of adaptibility. As far as resourcefulness and foresight are concerned, he is sadly lacking unless naturally endowed or self educated. At any rate his education for which he, and probably his parents, sacrificed so much is of no service to him when he needs it most. He has not been fitted for life. Iet us hope that Dr. Perry's prophecy comes true and that educators throughout the world will wake up to the crying need of students and ex-students of today so that education will be made to broaden out along liberal lines. OUANTS BY CHANCE. STUDENT PULSE Brief, concise contributions pertinent to matters of student life and the university are welcomed by this department, under the rsual restrictions of sound news paper practice, which excludes all libelous matter and personal attacks. Letters must be signed, but names will be withheld from publication if so desired. Contributions should be limited to a maximum of five hundred words in length. Moron in Our Midst. "Fools' names and fools' faces Are often seen in public places." When we were very little we used to write this on walls to rebuke those who had scribbled their names there, and then we would sign our own names. That is all right for children; they can't be expected to get everything right. Grade school buildings all over the country bear the initials of children, many who have grown to know better. Even in high school we find some very nice build ings defaced. But high school pupils are supposed to know better. The teachers say. "You are little men and women now. You're old enough to know better." If such a condition is regrettable in high school. it certainly is disgraceful in a university. Univer sity students are called "men and women" and are considered too mature to receive lectures on such a childish matter. Yet there seems to be a high school pupil in our midst with a countless number of ini tials. It is unlikely that he would go around scrib bling initials other than his own, but surely an in stitution of this size would not contain more than one such freak. We should find him out and repri mand him. This moron has been in all the classrooms and sat at most of the desks. He scribbles initials, Greek letters, and very inartistic pictures wherever he goes, with no thought for the feelings of the mature students. Even the statues in Morrill Hall have not escaped. He cut the initials "RK" deeply into the thigh of some Greek god. R. K. no doubt is apprehensive that he will be held guilty. So it really isn't fair. The Cornhusker, the All-University party com mittee, and other organizations must get discour aged when they put up cloth signs on the campus. Our little moron gets a lot of fun out of slicing holes in them. Maybe he does it in collaboration with the Russian children who sometimes play on the campus, Whoever this campus scribbler may be ho should be found and exposed. His work is an insult to the mature minds of the men and women who study here. H. C. CONTEMPORARY COMMENT When students from the school of music are presented in public, it is a good sign, both for the stu dent and the conservatory. Re cently, rather a large number of the artist students have given public performances. Alfred Held er, a student with William Tempel, sang for the Knife and Fork Club luncheon last week. Henrietta San derson, student of Maude Gutzmer, sane for the Book review meeting held nt the Grace Methodist church Thursday. The following students with Alma Wagner appeared in recital Thursday evening in Recital Hall; Laura Kimball. Vclma Smith, Marshall Gibbon, Charlotte Kies selbach. James Fitch, Marcella Laux, Ruth Haynie, Rose Dumler, Evelyn Stowell, Vera Mae Peter son, Claralyce Davis, Harriette Toren, Helen Naeve, and Elsie Rochenbach. Miss Kiesselbach sang recently for the Delta Omi cion tea, anil Misses Kimball and Toren sang several duets at a high school assembly recently. Continuing our custom of print ing little personal items about the various cast members in the Uni sity Players productions, we picked Irving Hill as the first Thespian to interview In the cur rent series of members of the cast for "Wednesday's Child." In this drama by Leopold Atlas, Irving portrays the role of the father. His "stage child," Bobbie Agar, is remarkable, according to Irving; and he said of him, "I have thl greatest admiration for this young boy, Bobbie Agar, and I think he will perhaps steal the show." How ever, it will no doubt be a toss-up, as Irving is no newcomer to the theatre, himself, having been in dramatics in high school as well as here. Last year he was in the casts of "Curtain Rises," "Counsel lor at Law," "Dinner at Eight," and "The Late Christopher Bean." This vivacious president of the Corn Cobs, is also a member of the Student Council and Sigma Al pha Mu. Public speaking is his hobby, and as he's taking a pre legal course with plans to continue his education at Harvard. No doubt someday we'll be hearing great things from this rising young poli tician. The chap with the "million dollar voice" has no preference concerning colors, just as long 8s the young lady who wears them is a red head. Although red heads "send shivers down his spine," brunettes run a close second. He especially likes Hungarian omelets, tennis matches, and horseback rid ing. While riding yesterday, his mount proceeded to fall on him, that's the reason for the limp to day. This versatile young man likes to read biographies of great men, and as he's a junior this year, we still have next year to see him in more plays and more activities. According to the New York Times, the best musical dramas, comedies, and lisrht operas showing currently are "The Great Waltz" by Johann Strauss and Moss Hart, with dances by Albertina Rausch; the J. Murray Anderson produc tion, 'Life Begins at 8:40" star ring Bert Lahr and Frances Wil liam; William Siegel's operetta, "A Happv Familv." starring Ivan Lehedoff: and th D'Oyly Carte Opera Company from London. This company is scheduled to present the Gilbert and Sullivan Comic Operas, among them "Patience." "The Mikado." "Princess Ma," "Pirates of Penzance." "Trial by Jury," "Iolanthe." "Pinafore," and "The Gondoliers." FOUR DAYS LEFT IS GAGE STYLE CONTEST Specially Designed Hots To lie Awarded to Winners.

Screen City Going Musical Says Prof. Howard Kirkpatrick Comprehensive Examination System at Chicago University Called Failure As 'Royal Road to Learning ' by Stoke. (Continued from Page 1.) quire six hours. "There are a great many iree lectures, and students may attend any class lecture any time they want to," stated Miss Abbott. Dr. Lane W. Lancaster, of the political science department, op posed such a system on three points. He said, "We must first de cide what we are about. Until we know that, there is no reason to devise a scheme. Second, we can get most of the things we want now, without a serious change, and third, most of the schemes in tended to make students feel less under compulsion, would be dis astrous to the students." "The success of the system will depend largely upon the standards set and maintained in the exami nations," said Mr. Stoke concern ing the Chicago system. "If exami nations are made too difficult it will discourage many persons who could profit from a college experi ence, and if they are made too easy, they will not serve their pur pose of distinguishing between students," he continued. V0LWILER LISTS CHEMISTS GIFTS IN MEDICAL FIELD (Continued from Page 1.) foods exclusively up to now; mod em replacements for former dan gerous sleep-producing drugs: syn thetically produced antibodies which successfully combat para sitic diseases; and modern anti septics. The usual method of procedure for the production of these com pounds has been to first isolate the drug secured from some nat ural source, to then attempt to (synthesize the compound in the laboratory, and to then try to pro duce a superior product for the same usage as the natural product with moie valuable results to the medical world. While stating that the advances have been great and far reaching, there is still an enormous field for further development with about fifty well known infectious or con tagious diseases still without ef fective treatment or coure. Hollywood, 3,000 miles from the Metropolitan, is going musical in an ultra-classical manner. This is the opinion of Professor Howard Kirkpatrick, Director of the- uni versity school of music, after at tending the performance of "One Night of Love" for the second time. ..... tiio cvrtnt enthusiasm with which Lincoln people and people all over the united tsiaies me reivinir this picture indicates that the better class of music is fully appreciated," he declared. Tho fart that producers are at tempting to obtain better music by a higher class of artists substan tiates Mr. Kirkpatrick's state ment. Lucrative offers have been made to Metropolitan Opera stars to appear on the screen. Nebraskans do not often have the privilege of viewing excerpts from famous operas such as Car men and Madame Butterfly but they received this picture with such great acclaim that it is only natural that they should be treated again to these scenes portrayed by the greatest talent, stated Kirk patrick. "We were especially delighted, said the professor, "with the way ihi Mniirosim students, whose es sential environment is the modern jazz, turned out to see One Night of Love. It encourages us over here who teach this type of better music." BLUE PMINT STAFF TO KEPOKT ON CONCLAVE Blue Print publication staff will make a report on the convention of the "Engineering College Maga zines, Associated" which they at tended in October at a Blue Print publication board meeting to be held at 8 o'clock this afternoon in room 205, M.

HILL DISCUSSES MERCHANTS OF DEATH' IN TALK (Continued from Page 1.) ly, th non-producing companies insist on the right of buying their arms and foreign countries. And finally, all countries insist on being able to buy the best and cheapest munitions at all times. In explaining other difficulties that practical legislators meet with in drawing up armament treaties, he state that the question of what constitutes munitions is an impos sible one to answer. The govern ment has drawn up a list of 4,000 commodities that are both peace time articles and useful in the manufacture of munitions. Endorse Nye's Remedy. Mr. Hill endorsed remedy which was offered by Senator Nye. He quoted the senator as believing that governments could enact in come tax laws that would confis cate the profits of munitions mak ers in time of war, thus eliminat ing their desire for excess profits. However, Prof. Hill expressed the opinion that even if an inter national treaty could be drawn up that would provide for limitation of armaments, the definite curtail ment of war would still not have been accomplished. In closing he said, "War is a product of society as it is. and is not by any means the result of the activities of mu nition makers, but nevertheless the problem of controlling the making cf munitions goes as deep into so ciety as nationalism, capitalism, or any of the other numerous isms that are confronting the world today." Webster Club Annexes Decision From Jeffrey Group After Heated Trial in Law Class of 36's Tournament Final. (Continued from Page 1.) gence, the aviation company was liable for personal Injuries and also for trespass damages on the house. Since there was no negligence shown, because the heart attack of the pilot causing the loss of control of the plane was proven an "act of God," and since an air plane 13 a common carrier, the Webster attorneys for the defen dant claimed that there could be no liability without fault Chief Justice Charles A. Goss and Associate Justices Edward E. Good and L. B. Day of the Ne braska supreme court were Judges of the contest Giving an opinion on the merits of the case, after the trial, Judge Good complimented the law stu dents on their briefs submitted and the excellence of their oral argu ments. He stated that there was no question that the Aviation com pany could not be held for dam ages, since no negligence was ad vanced. In announcing the decision of the judges, Judge Day said that it was a unanimous count for the Webster club debaters. He com mented favorably on the speakers, declaring that they had no man nerisms which detracted from their arguments. Concluding, Chief Justice G08S stated that they al most gave the contest to the Jef frey club for it made a good de bate out of what appeared almost a hopeless case. The trial was conducted In de bate form since the law students do not receive Instruction in pro cedure until their senior year. De spite the fact that this was the fi nal contest Dean Foster of the law school hopes to continue the work thi year if the Junior laws desire. Also he plans to organize new club courts among this year's freshman class. "The club courts are valuable means of instilling interest in law work and give the undergraduate students a chance to actually ar gue cases before judges," re marked the dean.

(By Dr. Charles Clayton Morrison, editor of the Christian Century, voice of Protestantism in America). "Every major activity and agency of Chris tianity stands at the end of an era and is at the threshold of a new world. . . The capitalistic sys tem, operating under the profit motive, inevitably breeds greedy and unloving men . . . The conscience of Protestanti.'Sn is waking as from a long sleep to discover that its Christianity has not only failed to function on behalf of its own social ideals but that it has actually been used as a bulwark of priviliged interests in the secular order . . . The realization that this is so . . . brings shame to the heart of every man whose eyes are open to realities. . . The Church is beginning to recoil at the use to which it has so long been put by the mammon of this world. It sees, though dimly, that it must disengage itself from complacity in the secular system. . . . The Church has for so long basked in the sunshine of capitalism and the patronage of the state, it has for so long measured its success in the magnitude of numbers and of wealth, it has for so long courted and flattered the rich, it has for so long accepted and solicited its economic support from the priv ileged beneficiaries of the capitalistic system, it has amassed such huge endowments, whose stability and productiveness depend upon maintaining the political and economic status quo . . . that nothing short of a moral revolution will avail to disengage it from this public idolatry to which it has allowed Itself to be prostituted." Radical? Communistic? Impossible! Coming from a recognized voice of Protestantism, these statements can not be passed aside as "treason" and "communistic." They are sufficiently strong, however, to make one THINK. Daily Californlan. PEP GROUPS PLAN HUSKER RALLY IN JAYHAWK'S CAMP (Continued from Page 1.) during the sixty minutes of play.
