Education
For Peace.
CTREETS will again resound to the echoes
of tramping feet and martial music Mon
day, speakers throughout the nation will re
new their tributes to America's fallen soldiers,
people's hearts will beat a bit faster, and many
an eye will be moist in memory, as the world
pauses in its mad whirl to commemorate the
end of the war to end war.
Many will see only the glorious side of
what was war, soldiers marching, bands play
ing, people cheering, speakers appealing to
patriotic sentiments of the crowds, and point
ing to past valor and victories. The veterans
who march in the street will be heroes again
this day, tieir brave and heroic deeds on the
battlefields will be recounted, and a tear shed
m passing for those who did not come back.
Such will be Armistice day a holiday, a
day of parades, of office vacations, of speech.es
of celebration throughout the world.
Yet even on this very day the forces of
war are moving forcefully toward another ter
rible conflict. For time is a great healer and
people have forgotten the horrors of 1917-18.
While the world awaits the outcome tensely,
hell-bent nationalistic-minded demagogues who
lead certain nations of the world continue
along paths wihch cannot but lead eventually
to resumation of hostilities, perhaps the world
over, while greed-crazed munitions men goad
them on.
What is to be America's fate? we of this
nation ask one another and ourselves. We
wonder can we escape the entangling traps
which will tindoubtedly be set for the United
States if the Italo-Ethiopian conflict spreads
to Europe.
And it is we. the neonle of this nntinn i
who hold the answer. America need not be
involved with Europe's troubles no matter how
complicated they may become. Only if we, the
people of America, permit ourselves to be vic
tims of jingoistic propaganda, only if we are
deluded into believing that we must protect
certain American rights abroad and uphold
national honor which is nothing more than
protection to special moneyed interests, only if
we are hoodwinked into believing that the dol
lars of commerce and trade mean more than
lives of American citizens, will we be drawn
into war.
If we close our eyes to truth and allow
ourselves to be carried away by empty but
dazzling ideas of patriotism, national honor,
and false pride, or by temporary emotional
flareups, then must we face war. But if this
nation can be made to realize the gruesome and
appalling actualities of war, no amount 'of
propaganda, no fervid exhortations to pervert
ed patriotism can be utilized to warlike ends.
Our problem arises from the fact that peo
ple do not realize the truths of war today.
That is why war talk is dangerous. What
avails it that we have in office a president
pledged to keep this nation out of war, if the
emotionally unstable populace can be aroused
to war fever by passionate appeals through
oratory and the press? What avails it that
we pledge ourselves to preserve peace, to not
bear arms, and then are swept away by a wave
of artificial patriotism?
What we must do to prevent the occur
rence of these things, what we must do to in-
sure the future peace of America and of the
world, is to educate each successive genera
tion to the truths of war. The glorious and
heroic traditions which have been associated
with battle and fighting must be stripped
away and the stark, cold, inhuman, and merci
Jess nature of war revealed.
. W1 tffit be distasteful to youth? What
if it calls for a complete revamping of long
taught traditions and ideals? Is not the end
worth the price?
We must not make the mistake of the
past which has sent hundreds of thousands of
young men to agonizing death in battle, strip
ped homes of fathers and husbands, and
sapped from the nation its most vital strength.
Let us educate youth to the facts of war,
disillusion the new generation today before
bitter experience does so. Let us educate
youth to the existence of the living hell that
is the lives of our disabled veterans in hospi
tals all over the country. Let them view the
ghastly mutilation wrought by man-made
forces, let them witness the awkward efforts
of men with broken bodies and varped limbs
to hobble about, let them listen to ths inco
herent babblings of shell-shocked men who
came back with part of that raging inferno
still ravishing their minds. -
. Let us present to them bluntly and simply
ths huge cost f war in lives, in human suffer
ing, in lost citizenry, in broken families and
Hearts, and finally and least important, in dol
lars and cents. Let us have them consider
what might be their personal fate were they
fighting the battles and feeling the enemy
DcHets nd stabs.
Then let them balance the spoils of war
where nothing is gained but death and chaos
and misery against our whole national wealth
abroad, against the value of our entire com
merce and trade, against any selfish interest
and there can bo but one answer. Let them
weigh in their minds any argument for war
and it cannot but be tossed aside.
e e
America today cries for peace. Among
all the nntions of the world this should fall to
our lot the easiest. We have no quarrel with
any people or nation in the world. We should
keep things that way. Only man-made diffi
culties can lead us into war nnd through
proper peace education this threat should
never arise to plague us. We should take up
the task now, today, in our schools, and then
no war need ever cast its blight on this nation.
Say It
With Music.
MEBRASKA said it with football Saturday
nnd copped its sixth Big Six crown in
eight years. But Kansas had its say too, al
though in a different manner. The Jayhawk
ers said it with music with the finest college
band that has appeared in Memorial stndium
in many a year and went home .with the plau
dits of the entire crowd ringing in their ears.
Uniforms glittering, the Kansas band,
marching proudly, splendidly, and playing
magnificently, treated Nebraska fans to a pro
gram of college band music that has seldom
been witnessed in Memorial stadium. Stirring
was their music, quick their step, and martial
their mien. Difficult maneuvers were exe
cuted precisely and without a slip. It was a
grand show, fit accompaniment for the Big
Six title struggle.
After listening to Kansas' band whoop it
up in a way that thrilled every spectator, Hus-
ker students experienced a rather odd feeling
as the Nebraska band, playing the same old
dirges and ditties, marched forth sounding like
it was on the way to a funeral and not a very
important funeral at that. Some good marches
were played but they sounded empty. The
backbone of the band seemed utterly lacking.
The martial spirit, the fire, the zest, the snap
that go to make bands the most soul stirring
music in the world, were lacking.
Some. time ago, when the year was yet
young, the Nebraskan suggested that some
thing be done to revitalize the Nebraska band,
to give it that certain essential something that
makes people's blood course through their
veins and their spirits mount high. Some one
or two new formations were adopted by the
band, and that apparently, is the extent of its
efforts to improve.
As the Nebraskan has previously said, it
is hard to criticize an organization that has
given so much time and effort to the univer
sity. But if we are to have a band, we should
have a good and outstanding band and there is
no reason why this should not be the case.
Nebraska s band just isn t m it when it
comes to competing with other bands like
Kansas. It reeks of the hidebound conserva
tism which holds Nebraska back on altogether
too many fronts. What the band needs is pep
ping up in all departments and renovizing of
many of its ancient practices.
Looking at the band in its dull and color
less grv uniforms brings to mind the com
ment of New York papers when the band went
east to the Army game some years ago, that
they looked like a band of messenger boys, lis
very outward appearance is not characteristic
of the spirit that should prevail within its
ranks. Brighter uniforms would help a lot.
Some pride is taken in the fact that Ne
braska has one of the largest bands in this sec
tion. This appears to be a doubtful honor for
one of the difficulties of the bend is its terrible
ponderousness. It is too unwieldy under pres
ent conditions and that part of the band that
is good is held back by others who are just
enough behind in everything to spoil the gen
eral effect. Perhaps the entire membership
can be molded into a band that will act and
function smoothly together but if this cannot
be done, the band" should be reduced to a
smaller number of capable and skilled musi
cians who can work together and in spite of
their size give Nebraska a good band.
The move might be advisable if not for
this reason, then from the standpoint of weed
ing out the loafers and uninterested band
members who are there only to escape taking
military science. It is these same laggards
who take advantage of every opportunity to
evade practice and abuse the good treatment
given them by their conductor. These men
have no place in the band.
How splendid it would be if Nebraska
bands could inarch and play with the spirit
and vigor and excellence so well displayed by
Kaisas. How much more interest would be
shown in the band were it to present some
thing original and different from time to time
instead of the "same old stuff." And how
proud not only the university but the band
itself would be if it were the center, the moti
vating force, the essence of school spirit and
enthusiasm, and if it were an organization in
which membership was made a high privilege
instead of a retreat from military training.
Lots of things need improvement on the
Nebraska campus. One of these is the band.
A good band is not an impossibility for Ne
braska. Surely we have the talent and the
director to accomplish the important trans
formation that is desired. We hope we are
coming out of the doldrums on the campus
and one of the best ways we can imagine to
let the world know would be to improve our
band and say it with music
quently demonstrates, have kept her from
places of leadership and responsibility.
Roosevelt has pledged himself, and the
government that is his, to keep America out
of war. Yet, former governments have failed
repentedly for their purpose and intentions.
And where a government of men may fail, the
women of the nation may succeed.
If public opinion and public sentiment are
to be molded against war, it Js the women of
America who will bear the brunt of the bur
den. President Roosevelt said, "A falling stand
ard in the incomes of average Americans, the
dragging of innocent children from homes into
factories, the problem of delinquency that
arises from social conditions ... all of these
challenging factors in modern society throw
upon the women of the nation a material and
spiritual burden of the greatest significance."
America cannot, keep oitt of war thru the
efforts of one man. The nation must stand
behind him and public opinion must outlaw
unnecessary combat. To this end, the thinking
women of the nation, those who In case of
war will suffer the "most goignant privation,"
must turn their attention. Mary Kimlirough.

CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
Women and
The War.
President Roosevelt's plea to the women
of the United States to assist him in "keeping
America free from those entanglements that
move us along the road to war" was timely
and pertinent.
Governing our nation has always been
considered a job for a man, snd will be. doubt
lessly, for years to come. Inferior intellect
and emotional instability with whieh woman
has always been charged, and which she fre-

for publication that he will not be a candidate
for re-election. Rumors that he would not
run again brought letters to him from all parts
of the country, but he replied that he had been
m the senate many years and was getting old.
"Younger men can and should carry on the
work which I have tried to do during my
years as a senator," Norris told the Descret
News in Salt Lake City. Younger men might
carry on but not in the commendable manner
the senior senator from Nebraska has done his
job. He might not be in public life after his
present term expires, but he leaves many
things to insure his not being forgotten.
Not Even a Director
of the federal social security board could con
vince the Nebraska senate that this state
should support the federal unemployment in
surance act with a state law that is necessary
before Nebraska can receive any benefits from
the tax every employer of eight or more peo
ple must pay. The bill was postponed by a
15-13 vote, which is considered an indication
that the legislators think the plan experimen
tal and prefer to go slowly in adopting it for
Nebraska. Supporters of the bill, however,
refused to consider the vote a true test of sen
timent on the measure. They contend that
because of the appropriation provisions the
bill must first be considered in the house. A
bill drafted to comply with the federal act
withstood a preliminary attack there m the
form of a motion to kill the bill. The motion
was defeated by a vote of 37 to 21.

desperate aerial searchers refused to abandon
hope of finding Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith,
world famous Autralian aviator. He was on a
speed flight from England to Australia, and
it was feared that he was lost in the shark
infested Bay of Bengal. The fact that his
plane could remain afloat indefinitely if he
had been forced down kept the searchers at
work. He was seen last by a fellow aviator
fighting a fierce storm over the bay, 150 miles
from shore. Flames were shooting from the

the production. It is at this spa
clous summer palace that the
week end parties which head the
society columns of every local
newspaper and which lend a dra
matic touch to the entire play,
find Mrs. Bouccicalt an able host
ess. Miss McChesney Star.
Stellar honors, if predictions are
in order, will undoubtedly go to
Miss Francis McChesney, a favor
ite among University Players of
a few years back and an instruc
tor in the dramatics department
of Lincoln high school at present,
playing the character of Mrs.
Bouccicalt who at 76, "has seen
three generations of men, women,
and morals and still doesn't know
a darn thing."
Perhaps her greatest hit as a
member of the university student
body was her work as Juliet in
'Romeo and Juliet" when she
played opposite Herbert Yenne,
speech instructor and director of
the pending production.
The leading roles are being
shared by Miss Jane McLaughlin
and Armand Hunter, veterans of
the Temple stage, and whose for
mer work needs no refreshing in
the minds of patrons of the Play
ers' theater. Both made enviable
records on the stage while attend
ing the university. Mr. Hunter Is
taking graduate work at present
and ia also business manager of
the University Players.
Among other players whose past
performances give indication of
present excellence and who will
add their contributions to the al
ready superb cast, are Margaret
Carpenter and Era Lown. Miss
Carpenter very ably enacts the
part of an extreme) y "blase" and
affected socialite, while Mr. Lown
drops the gray haired typea gen
tlemen of former productions to
take over the characterization of
a very dashing sportsman.
Two Make Debut.
Two new players who will make
their debut on the Temple stage
Monday evening and whose work
in rehearsals promises much are
Sara Louise Meyer and Richard
Rider. The two beginners will
play opposite each other as juve
nile leads.
The other players who will do
their part to make this cast one
of the strongest ever presented
before a university audience are:
Waldemar Mueller, who heads the
retinue of servants which the bel
ligerent Mrs. Boucclcatl marshals
about; Florence Smeerin and Del
ford Brummer, who assist Mr.
Mueller in his futile efforts to sat
isfy their testy mistress; Donald
Buell, and Allan Gatewood.
Writing the modern idiom, in
"Let Us Be Gay," Rachel Croth
ers has added but another star
tling success to her already envi
able Broadway record. Miss Croth
ers at present has to her record
some twenty-three hits in the last
twenty-five years of her career as
a playwright She is one of the
few women writers who has con
sistently contributed popular and
entertaining material to the the
ater world.
With a combination of such a
gay comedy, such a picked cast,
and unusually effective settings,
"Let Us Be Gay" bids fair to be a
well balanced evening of enter
tainment and one especially de
signed to appeal to a university
audience.
Extension Director Expects
