Editor's Note Thil is the first of ft eriei of articles on Youth Movements in Europe written for members of A. C. E., by Jonathan B. Bingham, chairman of the Yale Daily Newi, who has just returned from an extensive tour of the continent on an assignment from the New York Herald-Tribune. The Italian youth has but two ideas in mind, to become a soldier and to follow Musso lini. At least that is the case with five million boys and girls who belong to the great Fascist youth movement, the National Balilla Institu tion, for their motto is "Today Balillas, tomor row soldiers, always Fascists." And there is ample evidence that they believe heart and soul in that motto. There is nothing spontaneous about the Italian youth movement, entirely imposed from above as it is, and with every other organiza tion suppressed. The control is in Rome, os tensibly in an executive committee, but actual ly in the hands of one Renato Ricci, a young man himself, who is responsible only to Musso lini. Regional and local committees carry the orders down to the individual groups of boys and girls, these being organized into boys from ten to fourteen and from fourteen to eighteen, and girls of the same ages. Although membership is not compulsory, the privileges which accrue to members and the Bocial pressure brought to bear on non-members and their parents has made the growth of the organization prodigious, a million and a half in the last two years to a total of over half the youth of the country. The Fascists claim a unit in every village, no matter how small, throughout Italy. While the girls in the movement are proud to consider themselves as mothers of future sol diers, militarism is already a reality to the boys. As the visitor is shown through a 'Balilla House," or movement club-house, his youthful guides will display the greatest pride in the arsenal, a formidable array of rifl es and machine-guns that are far from toys. The ef fort to make war seem glorious to these chil dren is further seen in the provision of motor cycles and other equipment that are naturally exciting and attractive. Perhaps the most appalling aspect of it all is that, although undoubtedly every young boy is envious of his older brothers on the wsy to Abyssinia, militarism is to him not so much a matter of hysteria and wild excitement, as an essential, accepted part of his existence without which life would hardly be conceiv able. The teaching of discipline and unques tioning obedience are an expressed purpose of the Balilla organization and contribute largely to those results. However, it cannot be denied that the young Fascists are offered numerous advant ages. Besides the libraries and radios and oc casional movies in their clubhouses, every ef fort ia made to provide equipment for sports, yen in the smallest towns, where there is likely to be a combination club-room and gymnasium, and some sort of athletic field. The acme of this type of development is found in the Foro Mussolini, on the banks of the Tiber near Rome, where three or four marble-lined stadia, a similar number of huge swimming pools, and gymnasiums and tennis courts galore attract hundreds of boys and girls every afternoon. One receives the impres sion, however, here as in the camp presently to be described, that too much effort was ex pended on the spectacular and too little on the practical, there being space for little bat mass formation athletics. Adjacent to the Foro Mussolini is the Ae eademia Fascists, the trnining school for lead ers of the movement, organizers of sport, and camp officers. They learn not only physical training and drill, but the best ways to instill .he spirit of Fascism into their charges, the lat ter being admittedly considered the most im portant of all. Nearly all Balillas have the opportunity to attend a camp for a month or so during the summer. Many of these are not dissimilar to our simple boys' camps, but the ideal owards which the state is striving is totally different. One of the best examples of this type is to be found at Ostia, where a magnificent, modernis tic building, with a stream-lined tower and vnnch chromium plate, is the "camp." With the exception of the remarkably big teds in the dormitories, there is no place in the shining angular-furhishti rooms for relaxa tion or comfort, and the playing field or anil gTdund is a walled4n enclosure without a shade tree. Here, as everywhere, discipline is the key-note and, as the children march te their Tariona exercises, not many smiles are to be awn on their faces. Mnssolini. whose pictures arfd sayings are everywhere on the pastel-tinted walla, is their god, their ideal, and they must be true to him. Opportunity Too Rare, A RARE opportunity confronted Nebraska students and faculty members Tuesday morning when James Stephens, celebrated Irish poet and novelist appeared in the Temple theater for the second of the university's all too meager program of convocations. The opportunity was rare first because Mr. Stephens is not in the habit of making frequent addresses to anyone, let alone stu dents. It was rare, secondly, becfliise about half of those who desired to hear him found it impossible to get in the theater. Many students didn't bother to waste time to go to'the Temple when they knew there would be insufficient room. Many of those who did try to get in, and faculty members and deans as well, were turned away in disap pointment from Mr. Stephens' program. The Temple holds about six hundred when filled to cspacity and Tuesday studentB were sitting in the aisles, on steps, and standing up. This situation is another instance of what the Nebraskan has meant in contending that student interests are neglected, and why it has asked of the administration that it cater more to student desires. When we are fortunate enough to have an outstanding speaker or ar tist on this campus, (and that opportunity comes once in a blue moon) we should like full opportunity to enjoy his program, instead of having him appear in the Temple where a com parative few may hear him. The coliseum is perhaps a bit vast for con vocations but better that this should be the case than to have students turned awny in large numbers. Even then, the crowd which heard Mr. Stephens, the numbers that were turned away, and the many who would have come had there been room and had classes been dismissed, would make a good-sized au dience for any speaker, even in the coliseum. Some students are wondering why classes were not dismissed for convocation to give all an opportunity to attend. Dean Thompson, it seems, realized the futility of this when facili ties would not accommodate those already free at that hour. Once an adequate auditorium is available, it is safe to say that students de siring to attend future convocations will find class attendance no bar on the part of the dean's office. What the situation has again disclosed quite clearly is the need for a suitable and ade quate auditorium for student functions and convocations. This need would have been an swered by the union building for which the student body petitioned the regents and signi fied their willingness to pay a fee, only to see their request sidetracked in favor of a dollar addition to the farcical student health service assessment. This escapes the point however. Tuesday 's occurence has many precedents so that it is not strange that studer's drift away from the few worthwhile opportunities that are given them for cultural pursuits and education be ,..,,1 Aloinvinin Th argument that stu- dents are not interesttd in worthwhile things tqf ay took a bit of a setback Tuesday but what incentive exists for future interest in such things in the university in turn took a setback. The university dangled an unusual prize be fnr ths eves of students and then denied them opportunity to partake of it. Of course this is but another field 111 which students are sorely neglected but this is per haps more within the legitimate duties and functions of the university than others. The Nebraskan suggests, hopefully, that the situa tion be remedied first by having the convoca tion committee arrange for adequate audience Rpace for future convocations; and, secondly, having it snap out of its lethargy and strengthen its annual program, presenting con vocations at least once a month. If hampered by lack of finances, there are a few outstanding members of our own faculty who would still attract good-sized student audiences to discus sions of topics of general or special interest when national speakers cannot be secured. The student body will not be found want ing in response to cooperation in this matter from the administration. We Should Be Thankful VfHILE war clouds continued to rumble W ominously in Africa and new ones make their appearance in the Far East, the United States and Canada announced a new trn.Ie treaty in which tariff duties on various prod ucts were slashed by both sides. Cries of loud condemnation and high praise followed announcement of the agreement as political eonnivers made of it what they could. Sectional and local interests set up a terrific clamor at the mere cry of "wolf, a reaction most natural to tariff revisions, but one which also usually subsides in a short time as their fears prove groundless as will probably happen in the case of the Canadian treaty. The significance of this new trade pact, however, does not result from the fact that tariffs between the two nations have been re vised but rather from the fact that a new link has been forged in tfie chain of friendship which binds the United Sttses to its friend y neighbor, Canada. Without advocating a po b tical union between the two, it remains highly desirable that these two great English-speaking nations should work together and enter tain ideas of mutual benefit at every opportunity- . . . While Europe and the rest of the world continue tLeir war-bent policies, we of the west ern hemisphere should rejoice in our good for tune in a land of peace and of plenty. No enemv touches our boundaries, absent are the racial" prejudiced the hereditary false national prides and perverted ideals, and the covetous desire for new territory. Secure are the peoples of these continents a.;. -ir there is room and t-lentr for all. Obviously, the only basis fcr misunderstanding which could possioiy ce.op here would be man-mtde and therefore on necessary. And removal of ?om !ff'"n; ces such as was lecomplUhed in the Canadian pact that makes even this distant possibility more remote. . ... . Under these circumstances it is plainly evj .. -v-e v Tinna rt the Americas should do everything possible to maintain friendship und promote eooperalion among tiien.Helve. The new agreement between the United States and Canada which hns -lessened considerably ths significance of the boundary between the two countries, Bhould be but the first step of an extensive program to weld the nations of this hemisphere into a friendly but all-powerful family of stntes, which, self-sufficient and secure in themselves, need fear never the spec tors of hatred, jenloxisy, and war which today haunt Europe. The rest of the world may well go on to destroy itself, but discord among the Americas need never be. On this Thanksgiving Day we should look to our boundaries, among the most extensive in the world, yet requiring no protection, and then give thanks that we live in this nation and dedicate ourselves to perpetuation of the peace we now cherish. What About John for Athletes? A NATION-WIDE survey of colleges and universities which are receiving financial aid for students through NYA funds reveals that many schools have placed their athletes in various types of jobs made possible through this assitsance. Nebraska and Carnegie Tech are the only two major schools not numbered among those giving N.YA assistance to their men of muscle and brawn. Because of Nebraska's unusual position, some criticism has been directed at the adminis tration, particularly Dean Thompson. In an swer to this, it has been pointed out that ab sence of athletes from NYA payrolls here is not due to discrimination but to circumstances, an assertion which seems to be borne out by facts. ), flmnund for NYA Jobs by new and old students that some basis of se lection had to be devised. Scholustic profi ciency appeared to the administration to be the best criteria; this stand appears the more justifiable in light of apparent preset t rends away high scholastic ambitions. By a singular coincidence, averages of any football men who mav have applied for work were not sufficient ly high to warrant awarding them NYA work, even though all varsity and freshman players appear to have been up In their hours. The matter is significant, only, in that it is indicative of a deficiency in employment for athletes at the university both outside the uni versity and within. If all athletes who came to the university asking, not to be paid for their prowess on the gridiron, court, or cindcrpath, but for a job where they could help make their way honestly and legitimately, were given some type of employment Nebraska would need never bow its head repeatedly to teams of any sector or Bchool. Alumni could do much more to aid the uni versity by giving its prospective athletes part time jobs and the athletic department, by judi cious and prudent apportionment of obs, could help more deserving students than is now the The NYA is not the answer to this need. If the sports columnists who criticised the ap portionment of NYA jobs would transfer their energies to building up jobs for athletes out side the university, Nebraska could probably do better than annex the inconsequential Big Six title in football, and other sport s. STRETCHERS FOR HUSKER GRIDIRON. No More of This Dragging Hurt Men Around. By Arnold Levin. AUTHORITIES in charge of the hygenlo welfare of warriors on the Nebraska football field are to be commended for an Innova tion, or rather the use of an Inno vation, to help guard against ag gravation of injulres suffered dur ing a game. Heretofore, injured players have been grabbed by the most con venient hand, leg or neck and lugged off the field In the most di rect manner. The university has provided stretchers on which to bear the hurt man, but, to prevent the idea of a "Roman holiday" spreading through the stands, the stretchers have lain Idle while two assistant managers or teammates carried the players off. Such practice not only lacks good judgment, it mny lead to dis astrous results. Fractures may be compounded, sprained ankles broken, and, in some extreme cases, the spinal cord may be se vered by lack of proper treatment after injury Is sustained. But from now on, according to Dr. Earl Deppen, team physician, the stretcher will be rushed onto the field even if the man Is pre pared to walk off. "We don't want to take any chances," Dr. Deppen stated. "It nnnorpssarv when dire compli cation mav be the result We're going to use stretchers when need ed hereafter, lnsteaa or naming man from the playing neia. Dr. Deppen has invited Dr. F. B. Hollenbeck, Lincoln bone special ist, to sit on the bench with him HiirHna thp nr-Acnn State came. It was Dr. Hollenbeck who suggest ed, while visaing me tjornnusnar team when they stopped over ai CYiinatrn nn fhpir WRV to PittS- burch, that stretchers be used when a man is out. IN this policy, Nebraska Is emu-latino- other rreat universities. Stretchers on the sidelines are the rule instead of the exception, and no offense is taken by the stands, in ih Ohio State-Notre Dame game, for instance, a stretcher was rushed to the aid or Anoy runty, Rambler halfback, even though he was hit and knocked unconscious not three yards from Jthe Notre Dame bencn. The Incident when Ed Phelps, Kansas center, was knocked out at Nebraska a few weeks ago and wu draeeed off the field by two of his teammates seems barbaric by comparison. Dr. Deppen stated in an Inter view that Nebraska hadn't to date sent stretchers on the field because fn st likelv to 1umD at the con clusion that something drastic has happened. Sucn snouian t oe me case. The reaction of the fan wouldn't be any stronger if a stretcher carried the injured man off than If he was carried off, half fainting. Nebraska should have no qualms about using the stretcher system of bringing Injured men to the sidelines. It would be wise to adopt a Big Six ruling to the effect that stretchers be provided at ail con ference institution. Such proce dure might save players from se rious, and perhaps permanent, ag gravation of injuries. It in a step forward in the care of Husker footballers, and one that should re ceive the sanction and commenda tion of every fan. OREGON STATE, tt seems, will be met In the rain, fog and general gloominess of Nebraska In late November. Wet grounds should prove beneficial to the Beavers. Their weight will serve to anchor them pretty solid where It's going to be tough for the light er Huskers to shove them off their feet. And ths Cornhusker speed bovs, LaNoue and Cardwell, will find the going tough on slippery turf. But so will Jo Gray, of the Beavers, who is scheduled to make It a "gray" afternoon for tb Huskers. The touge field cover ncom passes the field rather well, but wstar can soak through, and wbea Jupiter Pluvtua really let the tsars flow, they flow. RtlB during the encounter, dam pening ths ban. spirits, etc, will hamper the backs and cause much fumbling, making the .game quite uninteresting fr the spectators, who will probably stay awsy in firove. But If Jupey calls ft his storm dogs and lets old Sol take the center of the stage for awhile. John K. Selleck s hopes for a rec ord crowd will probably bs real Two years ago Oregon ota .. i.tn rti...tr when they ran Into ths Oornhuskers. It's my guess they're in ror some mon vl the same bad medicine.

And from tha looks of things he has a darn good chance to do just that With height the predominant factor on his squad, Mr. Browns is planning to keep the ball way up out of the reach of opponent but this is only conjecture. With snapshooting little speedsters like Hank Whittaker and Bob Leacox, Browne may decide on a quick breaking, sparkling offense. Or he may use a combination of height and quick breaking plays. Or but there ars lota of possibilities, any of which may prove effecUve in giving the Huskers their best season In years. THE Cardinal, official newspaper of the University of Louisville, has solved that institution's foot ball problem In a few, well chosen words. It's so simple that the won der ia why Knox didn't pick It up some years ago. "Why Don't Ws Buy a Good Football Team?" That's the paper's question.

Tram Conductor Or Pirate, Poet's Early Yearnings Ambitions to be a tram conduc tor or a pirate stirred the youth ful heart of James Stephens be fore his thoughts turned to lit erary efforts, he revealed in an Interview several weeks ago in Los Angeles. The small, quiet poet who spoke before Nebraska students Tuesdaj morning, was born fifty-three years ago Just outside of Dublin, Ireland. "Erratic and sporadic." are the words he uses to describe schooling In which he did not pro ceed very rapidly. He does not con sider himself a scholar in any sense of the word. Th mild mannered bard first desired to become a poet when he was about twenty years old and was still In Ireland. One day he was going swimming with a friend and while waiting for him to dress, picked up a book of poetry and glanced thru its pages. Struck by the sensibility and ex pression of the writings, he de cided to try his hand at it. After his first poems, which he considered very poor, he turned his attention to prose and wrot articles for Arthur Griffith, Irish rpvolutionarv leader. Poetry ajrain attracted his attention, and soon he published "Insurrections," his nrst volume, atepnens men wnnc and published one book a year, but has stopped that at the pres ent time because he feels that writing csn be overdone. That there is an ebb in poetry and a great flow of prose todsy la the ooinlon of the Irish poet who declared that prose is many times greater tnan n n "rr been. As for hobbles, he remarked that the only hobby or exercise thst oc cupied his mind was sleeping. TRAVELOGUE ADDED TO FRENCH PROGRAM Film of Chateaux Preceed Morie "La Dame Aux Cornelias.
