TJNUSUAL but well merited and timely was President Roosevelt's tribute to Senator George W. Norris whom he indorsed recently for a life term in the United States senate, after Norris had indicated he would not seek re-election. Tossing party alignments aside, the pres ident declared that Norris was not only needed badly by the people of Nebraska but by the whole nation, and urged that Nebraska return him to his office, regardless of political beliefs, so long as he shall live. President Roosevelt's statement was imme diately answered by Col. Frank W. Knox, Chi cago publisher and republican presidential pos sibility, who asserted that the executive's ac tion was "not at all surprising" because "the president has abandoned his own party pro gram and taken up the radicals program." Here is the typical line of political battle drawn again as it has been many times between the forces of liberalism and conservatism, be tween the champions of the common man and those of the privileged few. On one side is the administration, which, experimenting in politi cal science in an effort to bring to every citizen and more especially the "forgotten man," every possible advantage and opportunity for ' life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, sees in Senator Norris the great statesman that he is, symbol of political progress. On the other hand stands Colonel Knox and his old regime republican followers who, steeped in the tradi tions of monied interests and big business; see in Senator Norris and his liberal western, col leagues whom they discourteously dubbed "sons of wild jackasses" some years ago, a threat to their attempts at reviving their old order of domination. About this conflict, however, there is one peculiar angle. The people of Nebraska have refused to be fooled by the ingenious devices and cleverly worded propaganda which have been put to work against Senator Norris in the past and it is to be. doubted if they ever will. Nebraska has looked upon Senator Norris with pride, not as a republican senator, not as a new deal advocate, but as the champion of the peo ple and of American ideals. This feeling of pride must be indeed heightened when from the national executive, and Norris has by no means been in accord with him at all times, comes this signal compliment and commendation. Nebraska will toss the slurring remarks of Colonel Knox and his cohorts aside with lit tle concern for its citizens recognize in their senator the near ideal statesman who has as no other stood for Nebraska's motto of "Equality before the law." Nebraska's only plea will be for more and many "radicals" of the caliber of Senator Norris to grace its future years.

B. W., that 's why 1,500 students jam the coli seum and pay $.3,000, as you say, for the Mili tary ball. They get something for their $2 which is worth more to them than the cash The military department offers the students a value in the form of a dance, and a good dance, together with the presentation of the honorary colonel. They set the price of the ticket $2 and let Mr. Student decide whether or not he wants to go." My social plans on the eve of Homecoming included a dance. When I heard that the Inno cents were charging an outrageous $1.50 for a dance that I wished very much to attend, I went elsewhere. Mr. B. W., you see a pair of shoes in the window of a department store. You need new shoes. These shoes are marked $5. Down the street are shoes for $1.95. Do you immediately burst into profane" convul sions, pull your hair and tear your shirt, invoke the wrath of Hates upon the personnel of the management, and then go right in and buy the shoes? My advice to you, B. W., is to clutch one of your dollar bills in each hand, grit your teeth, pull on your coat and hat, and get as tar irom the coliseum as you can on the eve of Dec. b. Any campus organization has a dual pur pose for sponsoring a social affair such as a dance. The first is to promote and forward the purpose of the organization itself. The second is to do so at a profit. Could it be possible that some of 'our campus organizations are a wee bit envious of the ability of the military department to promote this huge social event and to do so quite profitably! And now that the military department has developed this so cial event to its present magnitude B. W. has the intestinal fortitude to even suggest that some other organization open the formal season. When approached concerning the buying of a ball ticket, a Lincoln resident, formerly of the University of Wisconsin, said, What, onIy3r$2 Of course I'm going." I rcirret'not asking him the price of admission at his school, but it was evidently more than the charge made at Nebraska. So far the Editor has escaped my prodding oice in reference to his article on "We Raise Protest." I almost believe he defeats himself with his eloquence. Like the glib tongue of a politician, the words do roll, but he says noth ing. Allow me to quote three sentences at he beginning of a certain paragraph. "The military's is not the right of commercialism. Theirs is not the power of mandatory action. Why should the student body suffer the yoke of such assumptory shackling?" Ho, Hum I ea, I guess so. But, this hardboiled attitude between the tudents and the military department cannot be maintained. The students are the ones who make the ball a success, and the military de partment is attempting to make the affair worth the price of admission. I'll wager this much. If the Gentry-Innocents combination was worth $1.50 then the coming bull of the military department is easily worth the addi tional 50 cents asked for it. See you at the ball. C. R. Y.

Whitford, an ad vanced student working in the University of Wisconsin in coop eration with Dr. Joel Stebbins, has succeeded In constructing a photo electric cell, mounted in vacuo with a special amplifier, with which Dr. stebmns has obtained remarkable results at the Mt. Wilson Observa tory," said Dr. Hale. "By actual test, without a tele scope, this amplifier easily shows candle seven miles away- farther than It can be seen by the eye.

The photo-electric cell is used to determine the magnitude or bright ness of stars and their distance.

To him, tne seventn-day wonaer or American life was that students refused to assume "the robes of statesman ship." Probably true four years ago when going to college meant go lng to proms and a book was something you used for a pillow when your roommate hid yours. Less true today. James Wechsler, editor of last year's Columbia Spectator, glances at the new generation in today's colleges. He finds that they are beginning to view the republican and democratic parties as more than funny pictures of an elephant and a donkey. Stealing money from the government Is not a clever business stroke. Voting ii something more than an amuse ment on a dull afternoon. But more- Indicative to Mr. Wechsler is tbe formation of po litical groups not represented in general elections; political groups which indicate tne way college students think government prob lems should be met. There's the Intercollegiate Or ganizations of America, believing In Hearst reaction. The National Student League and the Student League for Industrial Democracy, left wing movements. The Na tional Student Federation, which stands somewhere in the middle. But what Mr. Wechsler falls to see is that this college movement might easily carry over into gen eral politics. It has always shouted that "col lege students eventually lead the nation's thought." If you believe in that principle, it Beems logical that the donkey and the elephant might soon become as extinct as Victorian parlor. New political thought might soon be taking the thought-align ment of radical, progressive, retro active. Miss Frampton Plans Present Modern Dances Miss Eleanor Frampton of the Cleveland Institute of Music and famous in the world of the mod ern dance, Is expected to arrive Nov. 28.
