Not "Freedom can be preserved only bv throwing it away," sounded the keynote of the message brought by Knby Page, eminent authority on so cial, economic and religious prob lems Page spoke before about 200 university students, professors and Lincoln people at a luncheon at the Grand hotel, 'inursaay nmm. In explaining his thesis. Page displayed his firm belief that only thru co-ordinate collectivism can this nation remain democratic, and its individuals retain meir iioeny, Need Co-operation. pitinnt nossiblv have the iHnrt nf freedom frontiersmen did, but ohis can be fuller, no matter how complicated a community be comes, if only tney aci an a erated group," stated Page. One of the most timely of the questions raised by the speaker, was "la there any probability that America will turn Fascist?" Page didn't think the political dictator ship very probable, but bis answer hinged on three issues: 1. If our industrial system slows down to a point where it will be rfiffirnit to oroduce barely more than ha sin needs. 2. If our democracy is captured by insurgents, which won t hap pen unless 3. The rreat mass of people are terrorized bv losing democracy, to have it replaced by such alterna tives as communism or socialism. An attitude of public frenzy would have to be built up, so that people would choose dicatorship to avoid the terrors of an altern ative. Page pointed out that this is what happened in Italy, and what might happen to us unless the great mass can be educated against propaganda. Losing Freedom. 'The great menace to freedom and liberty is found in the fact that we have worshiped freedom, and so we are progressively losing it," declared Page. He illustrated the statement with the fact that there are 12 billion dollars of idle money in the U. S.. and also mil lions of idle men. Such congestion and extreme want on the other hand, has caused multitudes of peo ple to lose their liberty, stated the economist.

OF SEASON WIL Kansas State Highway Department Tells Best Koad to Game Satunlav Editor, The Daily Nebraskan. University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska. Dear Sir: Realizing that many students and friends of the University of Nebraska probably will attend the football game between the Uni versity of Nebraska and Kansas State college at Manhattan Satur day, Oct. 19. I am enclosing information indicating the best road in Kansas from Lincoln to Manhattan for motorists to use this week end The most direct route from Lincoln south to the Nebraska Kansas state line probably is U. S. No. 77. Because of detours on the Kansas state highway system, the following route is the best to take from the state line: Continue south on U. S. No. 77 to Blue Rapids, thence on K 113 for nine miles to its junction with K 13 and continue on K13. through Garrison forty-one miles to Man hattan. The entire route outlined in Kansas is surfaced with sand gravel. For the benefit of drivers going to the game, and others, spe cial details of Kansas -state highway patrolmen and several crews of Kansas state highway department maintenance men will be on duty to safeguard traffic, direct its course, and be ready to be of assistance in case of emergency. The Kansas state highway department stands ready to assist motorists at all times and especially Saturday when many Nebraska visitors will be driving to Manhattan. We ask the cc-opeiation of the Nebraskans in driving carefully and safely so that no accidents will mar the pleasure of the football game. Yours very truly. GEORGE MACK. JR. Director's Secretary.

CITY LIBRARY SHOWS 'IS Miss Craig Prepares Display For Nebraska Annual Convention. An exhibit of ibe development of the book and some rare works from the university is on display at the city library this week in honor of the Nebraska State Li brary association which is meet in Lincoln. Miss Craig of the uni versity library staff has spent a great deal of time in preparing this exhibit, one of the most va ried arrangements the horary has presented for some time. Cases devoted to this exhibit display a Babylonian clay tablet which dates back to about 2000 E. C. A reproduction of one of the finest Egyptian books known, in the form of a papyrus roll, is one of the principal features of the ex hibit. The theme of the roll is a funeral text written in hierogly phics and illustrated with highly colored figures anl decorations. As far as has ever been determin ed this book dales to about 30O0 B. C. A little more intimate example of early literature is a pre-Columbian codex or manuscript. This book appears to be "aocordian plaited" and is written on a kind of papyrus made from native American plants. There are several works written by band on vellum. One particular ly outstanding example of the vel lum bock is an "illuminated" man-' uscript. which means that the ini tials and margins of the pages are hand -decorated with bright color and illustrative f.gures.

Now that the Minnesota-Nebraska battle has been forsaken by the dopesters and the bleach er master minds as a topic of conversation, gridiron interest in the midwest returns to the Big Six conference and the signifi cant topic of whether or not Kan sas State will be able to retain this Saturday what she brought home last Thanksgiving. The consensus at this stage of the proceedings seems to indicate that she won't, and that Nebraska will succeed in her second attempt this season to return to her .former place at the head of the confer ence. But the scales aren't read ing too emphatically for a Husker victory, and the "in the know" boys are still looking at the Wild cat victory of last year with no little trepidation. Fry Expects Hustle. For one thing, Wes Frey harbors the opinion that the victory will go to the team with the most hustle, from which one might infer that he will do everything he can to put on the Manhattan field Saturday a very lively and hustling Wildcat. Nevertheless, Fry's assertion is somewhat on the. spot, for his team has shown nothing in its last three games that might be in terpreted as a "do-or-die" spirit. Arter winning their first game I with Duquesne, the Aggies lost ! two weeks ago to little Fort Hays j and were tripped, 14-0, by Mar quette last Saturday. On the other hand, last Satur- ! day brought the first loss to the men of Bible, and the Huskers played bang-up football most of the game, even outyarding the Gophers more than two to one in the last quarter. Of course, there's a little matter about a lucky break on the Minnesota 2-yard (Continued on Page 2.) E 10 E 125 Members Lead Students In Rallies Before and During Contest.

Shortly before the game they will march thru the streets of the city ahead of an or ganized group of Nebraska student pepters.

The train will leave Manhattan about 7:30 Saturday evening and will arrive in Lincoln shortly beiore midnight. ECONOMICS PROFESSOR WRITES DOCTOR'S THESIS Columbia University Press Publishes Treatise by Swayzee. Of special interest to employers, labor leaders and lawyers is C. O. Swayzee's. professor of economics, doctor's thesis. "Contempt of Court in Labor Injunction Cases." lately published by the Columbia university press. This is the result of some years of research and critical study of a great number of representative cases, and it is safe to say that anyone wishing to arrive at a seasoned opinion on the use of the injunction In labor disputes, who has not the time to cover the ground indicated, would greately benefit from the analysis and summary here presented. In the last chapter, the author or fers suggestions for. reform which, perhaps, will not command gen eral agreement, but which will at least, form a basis for further con- slderation. Prof. Swayzee'a book is lucid exposition of the ones- tions t issue, a real contribution to knowledge, and step toward the solptlon of an important social problem.
