This Is Not About
Military Drill
But it does concern tlie student strike tor
peace, in which 350.000 undergraduates were
to have participnted in yesterday noon. or
last vear.Nebrnska publicized itself by is non
participation and won Ihe scorn ot the h liike s
eastern sponsors. Instead ot parades and dem
onstrations, a handful of students attended a
lecture on peace.
When the Nebraskan editor holding oftice
at that time hailed such a sane method of par
ticipation as sensible, he was quoted m Rciolt
On the Campus." history of the liberal move
ment in American universities written by t lie
former editor of the Columbia daily. But Mr.
Wechsler hardly approved; he scotfed at the
lukewarm spirit and berated the lack of inter
est in the class struggle .
This year Dr. Salter, prominent member
of the British labor party, the house of com
mons, and the London county council will come
to Lincoln lodav to rally the forces of peace.
A few hundred students will attend the meet
ings and nod in agreement. Off tne campus,
one croup of observers will remark, "There s
level headed hunch of kids"; another will
comment, "Poor fellows; blind to their own
interests, ignorant of their doom."
You could hardly expect the majority
of Nebraska students, reared in middle class
homes or the farms of our petty land capital
ists to acquire the hatred of the present or
ganized government that their eastern broth
ers feel. Is such a condition healthy in a col
lege community? Does it condemn the stu
dents or infer that the faculty labors under
restraint, and not the traditional American
academic freedom?
The Nebraskan believes that speeches on
the Nebraska campus will accomplish as much
as parades on eastern campi, neither of them
very much. We contend that the desire for
peace must be more articulate than its expres
sion in parades, soap box harangues, and the
"satirical" organizations such as the Veterans
of Future Wars.
By articulate, we mean designed for ac
tion more constructive than another elub to
belong to. or another pledge to sign. These
airencies may brine the situation into vivid
realization in the mind of the individual, but
they do little or nothing in affecting the pol
fcy of the government, which, in the final
analysis, i that body which keeps us in or out
f war.
Leaders of the student peace movement
could well take lessons from the American
Legion, which not only organized its mem
bers, but recognized the source of their ob
jective, and formed the most powerful lobby
that ever influenced our congress.
Students everywhere are in accord on the
eontention that munition manufacturers are
constantly provoking and promoting wars;
books and motion pictures constantly point out
their subtle methods of propaganda. To curb
these activities would undoubtedly be the
greatest gain possible for the forces of peace,
yet when a congressional inquiry was conduct
ed into these "merchants of death," Jepislators
found the country' interest dormant if it ex
isted it all, and yielded to the pressure lliat
atopped the probe and suppressed testimony.
If th Veterans of Future Wars want peace
worse than a bonus, why not organize n lobby
to combat munition makers it would take
braver action than to mock the American
Legion.
Nebraska students will go on confining
thir interests to proms and football games,
and Weehslcrs will go on bemoaning the fact.
Jf tomorrow, by chance, some student is
purred to action by Dr. Salter's address, we
suggest that if he must express it by forming
a new club, that Ihe croup recognize Washing
ton has more to do with the country's foreign
policy than any other group, and that a tele
gram will make a congressman shudder more
than ten pa.jama parades.
The Y. m. c. a:
Held.
(Ed. Note: Accompanying the criticism of
the University Y. M. C. A. in this issue of the
Student Pulse, we run this defense of what
appears to be a similar situation from the
Daily Tar Heel, student newspaper of the Uni
versity of North Carolina.)
Now that the V. M. C. A. is about to ex
perience a change in officers, we pause to con
sider its progress within the last year.
The Y. M. C. A. is the perennial butt of
campus jibe a to its inndequr.-y in filling a
definite campus reed for a sort of spiritual de
velopment which no other organization .an fill.
This campus attitude has hurt Ihe Y. M. C A.,
rot because it has been necessarily truthful in
its implications, but because the V leaders
have often souuht the other extreme in at
tempting to Uiiiintaiu the prestige of their or
ganization. But thruout the pfct year the Y. M. C. A.
las quietly done a good job in it field. It
has brought speaker, sponsored deputation
tours, held conferences, carried on numerous
routine odds and ends of functions, and con
tinued its regular cabinet work. Its officers
have been quiet, almost tmiia, in tneir u....
istrat ion but they have been effective.
Everyone knows that the Y. M. C. A. does
not hold the position on the campus that it
f...,.i v,i.i v omnhnt icallv deny that it
AVIl IIU'1 IIUU. ' ' .
should. Our reasons are not based on antipatny
to its program, ideals or otticers out upon n
Ki;f ihnt Die V. M. C. A. has necessarily lost
functions which other groups can better han
dle. At the same time, we mm a reimnpic
tation of its real function would be wise.
Every year the Y. M. C. A. draws up a
program, pages long, which it sets out to fol
low. It is an imposing looking program and
covers about every student function on the
campus. At least half of the aims are better
taken care of by the Foreign Toliey league,
the University club, the local church groups
and various other organizations like the Di
and Flu and ASU. But there is one field in
which the Y. M. C. A., and that organization
alone, must carry on and enrry on effectively.
No other organization can take its place there.
No other real function is needed by the Y. M.
C. A. outside of the few administrative works
such as deputations and speakers. That one
field is development of the spiritual philosophy
of our students.
Few of us realize until we are seniors and
about to graduate that we are lacking in inte
grated personality. Few of us are cognizant
of the need for a sound philosophy of life,
apart from our learning of the tenets of great
philosophers in the past and apart from our
studies of social theory and government among
people. We must find ourselves thru self
analysis. Is not that the basic teaching of
philosophy and is not that the ideal of a Young
Men's Christian association?
Do not think that we nre unable to do this
in our own groups. We can and must. The Y
can afford leaders who will help us, direct us.
Rut aiinVi on imviirrl nY.iminntion can 1)C doilC
only by each individual. The campus leader
who has spent his years at worn in eira-ciu-ricular
affairs has little time to analyze him
self and it happens in virtually every case that
at some time he becomes unbalanced, loses his
equilibrium and self confidence. And the ordi
nary student who plods along has not seen the
immediate need for t h is development.
Truly, developing an integrated philos
ophy is the basic teaching of our universities.
It is not idle chatter to say that the Y. M. C. A.
has here a means and an end as their program
on this and other American campuses.
Questioning our own motives, evaluating
our own progress, laying foundations for our
own careers these are tangible elements
which we must consider. We can and must
get deeper into our problems as growing hu
man beings and suffer a few of Ihe growing
pains before we can say we have found ourselves.

Note About
Some Action?
TO THE EDITOR:
I quite aeree with the editorial run in the
Daily Nebraskan several weeks ago on beauti
fying the campus, and wonder why we have
n't heard more about this project.
It seems 1o me ihat the university might
put some of the men now hauling sprinklers
around and rakinc the sparse campus grasses
to work planting trees ami shrubbery on the
mall and elsewhere. Emphasis right now is
being placed on planting grass, which, in the
hotter summer months, burns because of lack
of sufficient shade.
The campus seems bare, uninteresting, and
uninviting, as if it has lost its best friend, as
indeed, it has trees. There aren't enough of
Ihem, except on ihe western, old section, 1o
indicate that Ihis is the state which cave rise
to Arbor day. What a plaintive cry echoes
from Ihis. our maiden campus, shorn of all
protecting and beautifying garments. The
university officials should be ashamed of her
nudity.
Why can't we beautify the downtown
campus as Ag campus has been beautified? It
more nearly resembles the type of campus
which should be typical of Nebraska and wor
thy of the university lhan does the .stretch of
prairie between 10th and 14th sts. Nothing
but buildings ami sidewalk and half linked
grass. A few shrubs meekly peek from around
a corner, and then hide their heads in loneli
ness. I think the student body as a whole would
favor a campus landscaping plan. It's our
campus, and we want to see it dressed up. I'm
sure we would pledge our support to any
moves undertaken.
So how about it. Administration, how
about, shoving thru some sort of legislation to
give our university a better looking environ
ment in which to thrive? Let's have sonic ac
tion soon. A. L.
He Sominate
For Oblivion.
TO THE EDITOR:
The Student Council recently conducted a
campaign to investigate charters of all campus
organizations, and to eliminate the dead wood.
Altho it is rny opinion that iheir own charter
would bear some examination in such light,
there is one organization I would nominate for
oblivion bv such an action.
Tei-haps the fact that it is one student or
ganization not under the control of the stu
dents explains why. in the face of a yearly
program that accomplishes litlle more than a
few meager round tables and overnight hikes,
the university Y. M. C. A. persists in its para
sitical life, s'little group set off from the rest
of the campus.
No complaint would bt made against a
group set off that bothered.no one; the Y. M.
C. A., however, takes it upon itself once a year
to bother everybody. With complete files of
all parents' home addresses which stndenls
laboriously fill out at the beginning of each
semester, they pour thousands of letters into
Ihe mailbox, soliciting contributions from gul
lible dRds to support the wonderful work they
are doing on the campus.
The avowed purpose of the Y. M. C. A. is
certainly to be commended, but should state
wide Kupport be given an activity that is so
inefficient in making itself felt beyond a amall
circle of students! B. W.

am chiefly trying to do in the field
of religion is to promote a theo
centric religion as over against the
prevalent anthropocentric. The
first requirement of a theocentric
religion is ' that we make the
actuality of God himself, and not
our ideas about God. the object of
our love and devotion. The ec
ond requirement is that we do not
shape it solely in the light of
objective evidence."
Prof. B. C. Hendricks, associate
professor of chemistry of the uni
versity, after hearing and meeting
Dr. Wieman in 1935, said, "He is
not controversial in his presenta
tion, tho what he ay is often
tartling to the conservatives
among his listeners. He is the type
of person who is patient to hear
a critic, who under the pretext of
asking a question, expands the
question into an address of re
buttal." Dr. Hendricks adds to
this description by pointing out,
"He is not the absent minded
philosopher who goes about in a
visual eclipse so far as others are
concerned."
