A
ROUND
AND
BOUT
with
Sarah Louise Meyer
To this extremely naive mind
often occurs the idea that the
most discussed thing after lack
of sleep and awful exams is that
state of disorientation commonly
known as love. And to this most
unworldly soul often recurs the
thought that the least understood
thing is just that love, as wua
everything, those people with the
most theories are frequently
those most in-the-dark. Pro
fessed knowledge is sometimes ac
tual ignorance.
Views on the classic topic of
love and marriage change many
times and oft except In cases in
arrested development. The aver
age student passes from an ex
treme of Idealism to an extreme
of hedonism and, perhaps, back
toward a middle stand. Crystali
zation of ideas at any one stage
right wing, left wing, even
middle road spells to me. a cer
tain mental or "spiritual" death
by stagnation. The whole busi
ness, as Howard Dobson puts it,
necessitates keeping "in there
pitching."
Anyway, we will leave ourselves
wide open and confess that it has
sometime been our conception
with almost daily amendments
that love, at least In trie popular
sense, can prove a quicksand
upon which to found a "house of
marriage." Deeper bases mu
tual respect and understanding,
similar tastes, and ambitions, a
profound affection for each other,
and sense of oneness together
surely these better establish mar
riage on the rock of security.
Perhaps because it set forth
many of our beliefs we were at
tracted to an article in the "De
lineator" about "He Wouldn't
Marry Me!" Helen Washburn's
"frank discussion of love versus
passion for every girl who thinks
she's in love" is forthright and
modern to a fault. In substance:
"If you dig far enough back in
most marriages, especially those
of which everyone says, 'Oh what
an ideal couple; they must have
been in love from the cradle,' you
will find there was a first young
man who rode away.
The young man may not have
been exactly tactful altho a con
siderate way of hurting someone
has yet to be invented but he
was quite right. His rocket-like
course into space was motivated
by the oldest instinct in the world
the sense of self-preservation.
His instinct warned him lhat mar
rying anybody who felt the way
this, girl felt about him was just
bad medicine.
"The trouble is not with love,
it is with LOVE in the flaming
capital letters so dear to the ro
mantics. The trouble is that
when a girl begins to "thrill un
der the moonlight, or under some
other romantic spell, she is not
falling in love with the young
man next to her at all. It all
happened without her knowing
what happened. Before she
knew it he was all there was in
the world.
"But even in her beating heart
of hearts she really knew he
might have been anyone of fifty
others if they had only happened
to happen along at the moment
when things wers Just clicking
perfectly. She is not even thrill
ing to the moonlight. She's in
love simply with the way these
have made her feel in proximity to
an eligible young man, and she
feels swell.
"So that man and that girl are
off on an act together. The man
acts not in his natural character,
but In the way that most at
tracts and astounds this wonderful
girl. The wonderful girl does and
says the things that will enhance
her in the eyes of this marvelous
man. They are lifted right out of
their everyday commonsense. it
Is the very unreality, the gorgeous
goofiness of it, that gives it it's
poignant zest.
"That's as far as it goes, and
the beautiful white body part of
it is fine. But the very zest of
itself can prove quite wearing :n
the long run of marriage. The
man and the girl have to go right
on playing the same game. They
can't stop and they can't win,
either.
"Falling into one of those
"b w e e p-you-off-your-feet" ro
mances is all a little like climb
ing aboard a merry-go-round for
a dizzy ride and then discovering
that you are going to spend your
whole life on this high-horse Just
because the fool girl has reached
out and caught the gold ring.
That is the point where the man
gets appalled and runs. Unless
the girl gets appalled and runs
first.
"Fun Is fun, but people like to
get their feet on the ground some
times, and the sight of a pedestal
is just bad news to any young
man. The well-known prominence
that adored women are sup
posed to occupy has nothing to
compare in height, breadth or
thickness with the magnificent
monumental plinth raised for the
man that inspires that flaming
energy, the incredible determina
tion, of a young girl's first love.
To an ordinarily peaceful young
man, well content to take it or
leave it alone, this is the specta
cle which fills him with terror. . .
Imagine watching the years roll
by with someone that spoke to
you but as an oracle.
"With emotions as a food, it's
the staples you live on. The ex
otics tire as a constant diet The
people you are happy with are
people who lead you to be the kind
of person you want to oe. The
best basis for a successful marri
age is a sober basis of common
hopes, ambitions, aspirations and
desires. Along that line two peo-

"Of course love, young love, is
fun. It's next to the best thing
in the world. A girl falls into
it with as much earnestness as
she fell into her play with dolls,
It is her last big chance at "let's

Liberalism Gets
Danger Blow at
McCarVs Hands
By Arnold Serwer.
(Associated CollrRiate Press Correspondent)
Washington, D. C The cause
of liberalism, already seriously en
dangered by the fact that 22 states
have some type of anti-sedition or
anti-red or anti-thinking statute on
their books, was injured further
by the turn of events here in
Washington when Comptroller
General McCail stated several
weeks ago that bfore teachers in
any public school of the District
of Columbia could receive pay for
teaching done, they would have to
sig:n oaths declaring that they had
not taught or advocated com
munism. This came as a blow to those
here who for months had been
fighting for a definition of what
"teaching or advocating com
munism" meant. The general opin
ion of the proper interpretation of
the rider to the last district ap
propriations bill, which contained
that clause anent the teaching of
communism, coincided with the in
terpretation rendered by Corpora
tion Counsel Prettyman earlier,
when his official definition was
sought. Prettyman made it fairly
plain that the soviet, and the
tenets of communism could be
discussed, but not advocated, lie
Carl's blunt insistence upon an
oath still left the meaning of the
rider vague, but made the conserv
atives and reactionaries happy be
cause they figured that an oath
would scare local teachers into
leaning over backward so far that
the district's school children would
never even learn in the classroom
that there was such a country as
Russia, let alone that a revolution
had ever taken place there.
There is a momentary lull in
the controversy, which for weeks
filled the papers, provided mate
rial for dozens of editorials and
scores of letters to the editors. It
seems that when the day for signing-
the oath3 came no Scopes
arose among the teacheis to test
the legality of the oath, or to raise
the question again as to what
"teaching or advocating com
munism" meant. It looks like a
temporary triumph forGen. Amos
Fries, the man who started the
hue and cry about the teaching of
communism in the distiict, and a
triumph for the local Hearst pa
per. The Washington Times. A
committee, whose appointment was
egged on by Fries, the Times, and
the D. A. R., Is now going over
textbooks used in local schools to
make a report on their American
ism and on any glimmerings of
radicalism they find in these
books. This, despite the protests
of the superintendent of schools,
Dr. Frank Ballou and scores of
educators thruout the country who
believe the gagging of free teach
ing is taking on alarming propor
tions, and a good part of the local
citizenry.
The great body of government
employes here have on the whole
steered clear of the controversy. It
is a matter of common knowledge
that the department of Justice
takes pains to let bureau chiefs
know of any radical leanings un
derlings may have in the said bur
eaus. Like the teachers, the gov
ernment employes are leaning
over backwards, afraid that if
they show any liberal tendencies

Professors Seek Occupations Apart
From Daily Grind in Vacation Period
Even for university professors, Christmas vacation is de
signed for the doing of something entirely foreign to the daily
grind. Although Ihe ''something different" varied from sleep
ing late in the mornings for teachers must be at their 8
o 'clocks at 8 o'clock to doing a little housework, the majority
of the instructors spent quite a bitO
of time on their chosen work, vary
ing the monotony of such a pro
cedure bv trekking to various
parts of the United States
"I made mv own toast what
little of it was made," candidly
confessed Dr. Warren Bailer, of
the educational psychology de
partment in Teachers college. "I
tried a few recipes that didn't
work," he added. "I also propped
my feet up and read." He did nis
own housework temporarily.
Here is a man who can fervently
say: "If I could only cook!"
Colorless Vacations.
Several instructors declared that
the two-weeks vacation was utter
ly colorless. With each word ex
pressing greater resignation than
the last, Dr. Harold Stoke, of the
Political Science department, dole
fully shook his head and declared:
"I spent the most uneventful va
cation I have ever been privileged
to have."
David Fellman. also of the Po
litical Science department, was,
along with his colleagues Lancas
ter and Senning, much more ener
getic. Thes' three instructors
went to a meeting in Georgia.
"The weather was the funniest
thing in the south," he said. "We
encountered the worst ice storm
that had occurred in thirty years
In Atlanta." It seems that it
rained all the time, with the rain
freezing as it fell. They drove
through clouds and nearly climbed
mountains, and .finally went to
Florida to find open roads back to
warm Nebraska.
they will be classed as radicals.
And the average government em
ployer never has to be told to
watch his ptep. It's an inbred in
stinct that he's had ever since, as
a fledgling clerk, he was told by
his immediate supervisor, "no
loud talking, please."
On the other hand, the youg-
sters not long out of college,
brought here by the new deal, are
less discreet. They haven t held
any protest meetings yet, dui
they-ve talked pretty freely about
the whole business, written letters
to the editor, and generally got
ten hot under the collar whenever
they read the latest statement of
General Amos Fries or heard
about the editorials in the Times.
I say, "heard," because they don't
buy the Times.
How they feci about It is very
significant. It must be remembered
that they came here strong for the
new deal. It's liberalism, the force
ful drive of its leaders in the early
days of the NRA and FERA, had
them going around with crusading
zeal oozing from every pore. A
better day was coming, and they
wore happy to have a share in
speeding that coming.
Now. in the nation's capital,
they see General Frie3, formerly ;
engaged in the division of chemi- j
cal warfare of the army, success
fully going over the top with
Hearst's Times in a drive against
the continuation of free thought in
local schools. And they're going to

Although she was on Her way to
a convention in Cincinnati, Miss
Augusta Nelson, a French instruc
tor, stopped in St. Louis. Descend
ing the icily snowy steps of a hos
pital there, where she had gone to
visit a friend, she spied a cab
which she desired to hail. "I hailed
it," said Miss Nelson, with a
grimace," but since I had my hat
in one hand and my purse in the
other, I lost my balance in at
tempting to wave. Consequently,
from the top of the tenth step I
descended on the side of one leg."
She did not give the hospital any
new business, but she thereupon
limped for a week."
Perhaps the funniest thing that
happened to Miss Clara Rausch, of
the physical education depart
ment, lies in the fact that she
really had no vacation. "I haven't
fallen down any steps yet," said
Miss Rausch, "but I haven't had
much of a vacation, either. I
came down here " gesturing to a
room fitted into a corner of the
mammoth room in which univer
sity coeds interpret the dance
"and worked in my office most of
the time."
Ideal Plans Found.
The ideal vacation plan seems to
have been followed by Melvin Van
den Bark, of the English depart
ment, for he said: "I worked a lit
tle, slept quite a bit and read no
good jokes because I read only
those in the paper."
The scientists around the cam
pus went to St. Louis for a meet
ing, but they also rested.
remember, when they go back to
their homes some day, that a well
organized reactionary minority
could swing a job like that in
what is supposed to be a haven of
liberalism for academic people.
How much easier to do it in some
little town, they're saying, for in
stance, the town I, John X. Under

worry these young people a lot.
It is worrying them.

other institutions and the compari
son of our council with other stu
dent government agencies."
It was found that most councils
have a wider range of powers than
the organization at the university.
Hill said that almost every stu
dent governing body is given
charge of minor disciplinary prob
lems in addition to the regular ad
ministrative and political duties.
Most student governing bodies are
far more wealthy than Nebraska's
by virtue of having the power to
administer student activities fees.
After conferring with delegates
from schools in the Big Six region,
Hill announced that there is a pos
sibility that Nebraska may enter
tain a regional convention of stu
dent council officers in the spring.
More than 100 schools are In the
west central region, of which Ne
braska is a part, and will be in
vited to the conference.
Principal addresses at the Kan
sas City convention were given by
Miss Agnes McPhall of the Ca
nadian parliament, Mr. Gustav
Kullman, secretariat of the League
of Nations; Mr. Arthur Green
wood, president of the Union of
British students, and former Sen
ator Allen of Kansas.
"Our attendance at the conven
tion was certainly worth while,"
stated Hill. "Student leaders were
found to bo tolerant, intelligent
and pleasant."
FIELD ARTILLERY,
ENGINEERS UNITS
ASSURED KMC
Chancellor Notified: Actual
Operation to Start in
September.
Definite assurance of the estab
lishment of engineering and field
artillery R. O. T. C. units at the
university has been received by
Chancellor Burnett. Actual opera
tion of the units will begin with
the opening of the school year next
September.
Present plans call for the estab
lishment of the field artillery unit
at the college of agriculture where
it will replace the infantry. The
engineering unit will be located on
the city campus. As far as is
known, present infantry work will
be unchanged.
For the initial operation of these
new units, Chancellor Burnett has
been advised by Col. W. K. Wilson,
chief of staff for the Seventh
corps area, that the war depart
ment contemplates detailing two
engineer officers and three field
artillery officers as instructois,
and rie-ht enlisted men to maintain
the field artillery equipment, which
win be lurnisnea ny uie war m
partment. It is contemplated according to
Colonel Wilson, to ask the war de
partment, to detail without delay,
one engineer and one field artillery
officer to the university, in order
that they may assist Col. W. H.
Oury, commandant, in the prepara
tion of schedules for the new units,
Rprurino- of suDnlios and eauip-
ment, and in making arrange
ments for its proper storage ana
