THE conservative forces have invaded the cam pus. The rapidly mush-rooming American Liberty League extended its activities to the univer sity this week with the formation of a local organ ization. While it is encouraging to note that there are students who are professedly taking an interest in affairs governmental, it is equally discouraging to see that they are stringing along with the forces of conservatism. According to student leaders of the league its present work is "to analyze acts passed by congress in the current session, and separate good legisla tion from the bad. The purpose of the league is to organize the people who do not now have a voice in the government. The league is non-partisan, and is neither for nor against the administration, but will attempt to analyze the acts of congress on the basis of constitutionality." It all sounds harmless on the surface, but when the original organizers are mentioned it is a dead give-away. Men like Shouse, Sloan and Reed are not only conservatives, but are actually ardent oppo nents of the administration. It has always been the die-hard and reactionary conservative element that has hindered progress in government, commerce, education, or in any other field one would care to mention. Their attitude has been that " it has always been thus, so shall it stay." This sudden alarm over the poor people who are unorganized and over the constitution is a bit puzzling at first glance. The constitution is the supreme law of the land, but as the society of that land evolves, the law must undergo a process of change. If new interpretations are placed on the constitution it is the result of a change in needs of society. Furthermore, as the Lincoln Star puts it, " you can't eat the constitution and you can't pay off mortgages with the constitution. And you can't shingle a house, paint it, or replace broken window panes with constitutions. You can't buy shoes for the baby, or dresses for the good wife, with constitutions." It all simmer) down to the conclusion that the good league Is looking for a spot at which to attack the administration. The constitution has always been a good center around which to create a lot of disturbance. An ignorant public is easily swayed by the big word " constitutionality." This conclusion has been borne out many times since the organization of the Liberty League. Only in one or two instances has the group agreed with administration policy. On the other hand, its re ports, so that the people may know, have been con siatently anti-administration. It seems a shame that this group of reactionary conservatives who are backing the league should spread their Influence to the campuses of the United States. Here should be a training ground for the future, with forward looking ideals getting the em phasis, not out-moded notions ot the pant. OFFICIAL BULLETIN The State Has a Birthday. Today Nebraska celebrates tne sixty-eighth an niversary of its founding. In 1851 the territory had been organized and on March 1, 1867, a proclama tion by President Andrew Johnson elevated Ne braska to full statehood. A full program has been planned for the day, with the speaking schedule well sprinkled with re publican party leaders. Most significant of all to students is the address to be delivered by Joe Fen nelly, leader of the National Youth Movement. Fen nelly has received nation-wide fame for his leader ship in the recent fight in Kansas City against the well organized political machine operating there. Altho the affair is advertised as non-partisan, it la unfortunate that the lead In planning the pro gram was taken by one political party. Observers predict that republican leaders will use this day as a rally in adding impetus to the strengthening of the now quiescent G. O. P. If, however, this political angle is kept in the background the program should prove worthwhile to people of the city and state. Orchestras and Other Things. The Prom committee has come forth with the unusual super extra special orchestra for the finale to the formal season. It is beginning to seem more than a bit queer that Nebraska can't secure a really "big time" orchestra for the major social functions. Prospects for next year are somewhat brighter, however, with the partial relaxation of the faculty committee's restrictions on prices to be paid to bands. It came a little too late this year for tne committee to take advantage of it. A revival of interest in peace and international affairs was seen this week as the Peace Action com mittee and the International Relations club made the headlines in the Daily Nebraskan. These two organizations, altho separate groups, are working toward a common goal. Their ultimate aim is the establishment of a better international understand ing and of universal peace. They deserve campus backing. War gets another layer of sugar coating Friday as the Sponsors club entertains officers of the R. O. T. C at a tea dance. Now if they just sponsor a picnic of some sort the military department's social program for this year will be almost complete. A somewhat novel idea is being tried at Law college. Last year the embryo lawyers had a realis tic "murder" with which to cope. This year they I are starting work on a libel suit. It might be a xd idea if someone lifted the plan and worked I ut a laboratory course on the campus for civic I service training. Contemporary Continent Sebraska Take Notice. Agitation starts this morning for an Open Forum on the campus, which would be student-controlled in every respect, taking for discus sion any topic, and inviting any outside speaker as a commentator. The Californlan last week ex pressed its hope that an Open Forum would be established on the campus. We Delieve in free speech, when it remains inside the bounds of decency and respect. The ideal Open Forum would be one In which any topic could be discussed, and any outside speaker presented. But ideals are not al ways practicable, as they are not in this instance. A student-controlled Open For um can be established immediately. Of that we are sure. Insofar an student participation is concerned, it need not be controlled by the university administration in the slightest. But on the question of outside speakers, the ideal must be com promised. For the university ad ministration will reserve the right to veto any invitation of the open Forum to outsiders that is deemed contrary to the best interests of the university. The Californlan believes that the administration is within its rights in making this reservation. We believe that the administration will not take advintage of this pro vision to stifle expression in the Forum. We trust that its power of veto will be used only in extreme cases of necessity. Plans are now. being carried for ward for the organization of an Open Forum along the lines in dicated above. A committee which will represent all shades of opinion from right to left will be chosen to inaugurate the discussions. Our belief is that the Forum should be primarily for students and interested faculty members who will, of course, not be received s faculty members, but as indi viduals. Presentation of outside speakers should be a secondary, but still important, feature of the plan. Let the agitation go on. But let nothing happen that will Jeopar dize the already possible Open For um. The Daily Californlan. Civil Service Reserve Corps. Creation of a "citizens' civil service reserve corps" is called for in a plan worked out by Secretary of Commerce Roper, in which col lege people would join the civil arm of the government Just as the reserve corps of the army and navy draw them into the military. The unit is "designed to bring bet ter future government and to re sist subversive movements." The stated objectives of the sec- GASOLINE U. S.

Second by inculcation of the nation's prob lems into the citizenry as a who)" we can resist the development ol subversive movements. Third wo can develop a class of citizens pe culiarly fitted for the increasingly complex job of governing." The importance of stimulating the dormant Interest of college people in government service is realized today by men in both gov ernment and education. The ex ample of Europe where a distinct and honorable class of public serv ers has been built up is teaching Americans that we are overlook ing a big factor in good govern ment, that of intelligent and train- Soolal Dancing.

The secretary places tmra tne most important of his objectives that of creating this class of citi zens peculiary fitted for the com plex iob of governing. And he joins in his second activities by hoping to inculcate a resistance to subversive movements. Whether the intellectual scale of the civil service will cause it to resist in culcation against whatever should be termed subversive is anomer matter. However, any plan that pro poses to raise the efficiency of government service ana 10 raise its status is worth considering. And whether It goes thru or not. college graduates of 1935 can be reminded again of the examina tions offered by the civil service commission for government Jobs. The Minnesota Daily.

(Continued from Page 1.) two suits and a tux which are, generally speaking, good from year to year. When a mnn buys clothes, lie buys a suit, and per haps a pair of shoes, but when a woman buys a dress, she must also buy a hat. coat, gloves, purse, shoes, and stockings to match. She must have a large and nearly in exhaustible warOrobe if she ex pects to get dates. On top of this, she must also pay for manicures, waves, etc. If a woman tried to get along with two dresses and one formal, she would soon quit being asked. However, I do believe that women should not expect too much. A show and a sandwich afterward should be plenty for one night." In refutation of this, one mem ber of the masculine sex stated: 'What about a car? To date, a man must furnish a cat. To drive a car, he must furnish gas. oil, and money for its normal upkeep. Does that not overbalance by far the statement that women are forced to spend more because of the clothes they must buy? Why should men pay? It is merely a custom, and we of today have dis- cardod practically every other cus tom and precedent, so why not this one?" One feminine voice among the proverbial thousands expressed this idea: "Why not? Women get. or should get, just as much en joyment out of dates as do men.i A Speaks to P.

They ex pect equality in everything else, why not In this? If a man and a woman are both trying for the same position, and the man suc ceeds because ol his supposedly better business senile, a chorus of lemlnine voices rises up in loud protest. If they want equality, let them have it - compieieiy. "Women have come to the olace." was the contrary opinion of another, "where they at least seem to realize that money does not grow on the proverbial trees.
