Athletics for All If You Wait. jyiONDAYthe intramural department launch ed its year's sports program for men in a blaze of glory that called forth shades of last year's "most successful" intramural season and gave rich and deep promise for another year like good old 1934-35. All touch football contests were cancelled about three o'clock in the afternoon just as fraternity teams began to assemble for their games. Some few disgruntled Greeks moaned a bit and made threatening gestures at the absent intramural staff, but those who were here last year knew better and resigned themselves to being victims again of the intramural office's numerous inconsistencies. Bulletins issued last week by the intramural ffice announced that football schedules would be received Saturday with competition to begin Monday and that all houses should complete arrangements to open the bigger and better intramural program Monday and Tuesday. On Saturday no bulletins were forthcoming. Fraternities didn't mind not much anyway for they had become more or less used to such delays following a season chock full of them last year. So it was just another case of getting in the usual state of mind of "Don't .worry, they'll get the dope to us when they're good and ready" and wait for results. Sunday night the results unexpectedly hap pened. Evidently believing that calling Monday morning would not give the chapters quite time enough to organize their teams, the intra mural office Sunday night called houses sched uled for action Monday and broke the big news. Athletic managers immediately were forced to hurry about and rustle up a team for Monday's games. And with a bit of difficulty, this was accomplished. Then Monday afternoon it develops that the intramural office has no fields for its Greek customers to play on. It seems that someone forgot about getting them fixed up in time I for the opening performance. So the houses are all called again and receive their second dose of delays, which however they are becom ing more accustomed to by this time, and which is not so bad since the weather is a bit rainy anyway. No one knows at present when the intra mural season will really open. Odds in the various houses about the campus varied from 5 to 1 to 15 to 1 against an opening before the Kansas State game. But have patience, oh Greeks, for the intra mural office will see that there is athletics for you and "for all." All you have to do is wait long enough and jump when they say so. After all, who's intramural program is it? Quit jour crabbing. tl Off the I Campus Lynn Leonard STUDENT PULSE Brief, concise contributions pertinent to matters of student life and the university are welcomed by this department, under the usual restrictions of sound newspaper practice, which excludes all libelous matter and personal attacks. Letters must be signed, but names will be withheld from publication If so desired. Ethiopia's Plea to the League of Nations to "stop the massacre of innocent populations" resulted in that body naming Italy the aggressor, but action was typical of the league. A committee of six was appointed to handle the situation. Action is thereby delayed while Ethiopian forces are en gaged m hand to hand combat with the Italian troops, fighting with bayonets and daggers enemy forces that use planes overhead. Let Me Call You Sweetheart. TO THE EDITOR: I was very much interested to learn, as I listened to Mr. Lyman's broadcast Saturday evening, that the entire University of Nebraska football squad and coaching staff were so def initely convinced of the superiority of Standard Oil products that they were willing, to' a man, to place their signatures on a spanking new football about to be given as an award to the winner of a contest sponsored by the afore mentioned oil company. This announcement, candidly made by a university representative, naturally dispelled my doubts regarding the ethics of such a practice and served to precipi tate some ideas which have been plaguing me, in a more or less nebulous form, during the past two years of budgetary constriction. Assum ing, of course, that money changes hands when this great university, through any of its de partments or representatives, decides to stand four square behind some commercial product or idea that is universally recognized to be as superior to its competitors as Mr. Lyman avers the Standard Oil products are, may I suggest through your columns 1. That the Political Science Department lend its support, for a consideration, to the Republican party and offer, to the winner of a contest, a white elephant copiously auto graphed. 2. That the History Department, for a consideration, lend its support to the theory that Ethiopia has brought about the present unpleasantness due to her inability to dis cipline border tribes. 3. That the College of Business Admin istration, for a consideration, lend its support to the theory that a reduction in wages is the only possible method by which prosper ity can be coaxed from hiding. 4. That the Secondary Education Depart ment, for a consideration, rcommend high school texts published by the Macmillan Company. 5. That the Military Science Department, for a consideration, throw its weight behind Hercules Smokeless Powder, President Roosevelt, meanwhile, takes defin ite steps. Acting under provisions of the new neutrality act, he places an embargo on the export to both nations of all arms, munitions and implements of war. These include air planes, airplane engines and parts, rifles, guns, ammunition, poison gas, warships and their equipment. Any American who violates the embargo may be punished by a ten thousand dollar fine, five years imprisonment, or both. He is anxious that this nation will not become involved, even to the extent of warning Amer icans that they will travel the seas at their own risk. If he chooses the President may later ex tend the embargo to include cotton, copper and similar raw materials. S) The Defending Nation charged that a squadron of Italian planes had shelled women and children in the village of Bethe Hawariat, near Adigrat. , The Italian government promptly denied this report as it has others of a similar nature. Emperor Haile Selassie dispatched his throne to Dessie in order that he might go there and head an army. Reports from Addis Abnbn are to the effect that Aduwa had been taken by invading forces, and Rome finally agreed that the cap ital of the Tigre province, which is the gate way to the fruitful provinces of northern Ethi opia had fallen. As many as two dozen Italian planes attacked the city, which was the scene of Italy's great defeat in 1806, before it was taken. Outbreak of war vetoed all prospects of an election in England. Even the labor party is with the government, opposing some of its leaders, and Baldwin has a definite majority. The cabinet is unanimous, and the country is overwhelmingly behind its determination to stand by the League of Nations covenant, ana that is the major issue in Jngland now. The State Is Wondering how Governor Cochrane proposes to raise mnnev for his social security measure. In order tn save time he is having Attorney General Wright draft bills for the legislation he wishes considered. The lawmakers can only pass legislation for which they nfe called in the spe cial session, but they can introduce any kind of bills on that legislation they wish. Wright had prepared a liquor bill for the last session, but too many legislators had their own ideas for that to save time. So they might stay longer than the governor expects, but the mem bers are limited to $100 apiece and mileage. They cannot remain too long on that. The Stratosphere Balloon expedition, which rather muddled its attempt last summer, has been ready to try again since Sept. 29. All that is needed is a suitable day. Previous investigations showed October had the most "good balloon days," but disturbing conditions have prevailed recently. Meterolo gists, however, expect that tranquil weather will follow and the observers can ascend soon. RAMBLINGS and Es by Rob Laurens The revival of "Naughty Mari etta" at one of the local playhouses brings to mind rather an interest' ing and amusing comparison. Even at this late date when this musical gush-and-glow is languishing into a beautiful old age, sweet, kindly smiles from it find ready reception in rumerous hearts. And the Jack Kirkland smash, "Tobacco Road," is still packing them in.

He spoke of his orange tree which bore 25 last year, his palms, Phil lipine orchids, legions of ferns of nil varieties, climbing figs, and cactus, the cisus from which string Is obtained (not cotton string), the ginger plant that treats the nose with something sweeter than a woman's powder, and the dragon plant. Then he stopped, and inquired, "You know what this is, I sup pose?" "No, rm afraid I don't," diffi dently negated the reporter. Young man, that's maiden's hair." It was a specie of fern known as the maiden's hair fern. After passing the cicus plant which grew on the Nebraska prairies during the dinosaur age but now is extant only in Mexico, be baited In front of the giant cactus plant This cactus, he stated. Is a duplicate of one of the files In the registrar's office. Max stated that if one were to count all the Initials that had been carved on the ancient old giant he would have the count of all the students who had ever attended Nebraska U. They all leave their marks on It be said. Next came the banana tree which at one time bad leaves that were six feet long and three feet wide. The leaves on the present tree are of slightly lesser dimen sions, however. Then came the crotin oil plant with the usual wit on the cathartic power of this substance. While the reporter was admiring the zebra patterned interlacing of wandering Jew on the floor, Max pulled an old one. "Here's eve's tailor, he said. We looked up at a tree that called up no special name In our brain. "It's a fig tree," he said as be wandered on to the eucalyptus tree. The Nebraskan specimen of this tree. It seems, is no more than a piker when compared to those which grow In Australia. Max told of an article which be bad recently read stating that these trees at tain 600 feet in height and 80 feet In width. "It's a good story, any way," be finished. The other rooms of the green house also yielded curiosities ga lore and much wit from Max. On coming to the bean plant he re minded us that, being Scotch, we bad probably eaten plenty of beans. He explained an experi ment that a graduate student was working on with 135 pans cf soil taken from various elevations in Nebraska. Otter thing of interest were Dr. Weaver's play room and the work Spurns f tht botany studecta con taining numerous common plants Max's parting invitation was, "Come again."

NEBRASKA STUDENTS ROBBED OF JEWELRY Thieves Take $1,000 Loot From Ball Attendants Saturday Night. Miss Marion Sherwood, Ak-Sar-Ben countess, and ber escort. Her- bert Weston, both of Beatrice and the University of Nebraska, were robbed of Jewelry and clothing valued at $1,000 from their auto mobile parked in a parking lot in Omaha Saturday night. The loot included five rings, which Miss Sherwood valued at S600. earthy basis, and old love to the status of a biological function and a neighborly duty. Very grey-col ored, full of pungent and lurid pro fanity, with striking scenes pictur ing the effects of the mating in stinct on the people along the Georgia tobacco road, and subtle only in the implications of the full drawn, realistic portrait On the one hand, beautiful fantsay; on the other, stark realism. Which shall be taken? It seems we shall take both, providing of course they con tain the necessary elements, tfiat the colors and shading of brush used are such as will bring soft, dim lights to our eyes, or little tingllngs of delightful uncertainty in the region of our spine. In the breathing hush of the darkened theater people sit in con scious expectancy. They seem to settle back as Naughty Marietta begins to unroll with its wealth of song and story. Various young coupler unconsciously move closer together as the story progresses; here and there an arm is slipped surreptitiously along the back of the seat, some more calloused or defiant arms openly encircle. And solitary persons here and there seem to shrink into their seats. There is a nervousness in the air of the house at Tobacco Road, for evidently word of mouth has been taking rapid effect As the first act proceeds and the grow ing forerunners of lurid blasts come over the footlights, people begin to cast fleeting glances at their neighbors and register faint, selfconscious gurgles and fidgets. Between the young couples is a very evident consciousness, each OFFICIAL BULLETIN Student Council. There will be a regular meeting of the student council at 5 o'clock Wednesday.

And the person lost in the mood and forces is very solitary indeed.- 'Tobacco Road" goes on. Open ing in Chicago it grossed twelve thousand in its first run, and sub sequent weeks are showing prom ise of, for Chicago, a surprisingly successful run. It is registering in the years in New York. Opened some time ago in the highly com petitive theater district in South ern California with Henry Hull in his old role of Jeeter Lester; played a fair run in Los Angeles, then tranferred to Hollywood where, later, James Barton again stepped into. Mr. Hull's slightly worn shoes, and Mr. Hull took his company on the road. So you may decide for yourself what sort of play or production you will write. "Naughty Mariet ta" was consistently held over in its run but seems now to bo on the way to the graveyard of all films; "Tobacco Road" still runs, and there is a faint idea current that even when it vanishes from the boards, its tattered, dreary, spirit may carry on in the pages of various books. And that is In the tender care of the future. Cer tain it is that if you should yearn to parent a "Naughty Marietta," you must use great quantities of moonlight; if your idle fancy runs to a "Tobacco Road," let your mind dwell in the daylight and give It plenty of stark light With a background of dull, grey clouds.
