"Freedom can be preserved

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.

Fifty-five news writers who

permanence. If work on one beat
is not satisfactory, another re
porter will be assigned to it."
Following assignments, the reg

CITY LIBRARY SHOWS

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. Most of

FRY LOOKS FOR HUSTLE
LaNoue Scarlet Captain for
Saturday Game; Lineup
Changes Indicated.
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
