GERMAN UNIVERSITIES LIKE
THOSE HERE, SAYS STUDENT
By Willard Burney.
University life in the nation ot
Naziism is much the same as tin
America, assured Karl Fortmann,
German student enrolled in the
university as he turned from a
book-laden study table in an ex
clusive cast Lincoln home. Al
though a much smaller percent of
the youth of the nation is afforded
opportunities to go to school in
Germany, those that do arc under
the direct supervision of state of
ficials and consequently are of
fered slightly different courses
than here.
Fortmann came to America six
years ago intending to remain
only for a short period of time,
however he was so pleased with
the life in America that he has de
termined to make it his home.
Since his residence here be has
experienced the life of a thirty
dollar a month farm hand, a
grease wipe with the United An
Lines, airplane mechanic, and
finally radio operator. While
working as radio operator, the
youthful foreigner, noticed his
shortage in education and hence
is making up the work in the uni
versity. People Support Hitler.
When queried as to whether the
jioopJe of Germany were behind
Hitler in his attempt to build up
a racially pure people, the student
replied that by all means the en
tire populace is behind him heart
and souL "In the beginning there
were a few communistic groups
that tried to create an opposing
group, but now they have been
subdued and are falling in with
the program with the rest of the
nation."
Although all correFpondence out
of the country is rather strictly

Prof. Merrill Resignation
Accepted; C. B. Nutting
To Fill Position.
Nine faculty chanf.es for next
year were among the items of
business approved by the Univer
sity of Nebraska regents Saturday.
One resignation was accepted, one
leave of absence granted and seven
persons named to fill teaching po
sitions. The name of the build
ing now used for poultry hus
bandry work at the colege of ag
riculture was changed from Rural
Economics Hall to Poultry Hus
bandry Hall.
The resignation of Prof. M. H.
Merrill of the college of law was
accepted, effective August 31. Pro
fessor Merrill, who has been on the
university faculty for the last ten
years will go to the University of
Oklahoma and his place will be
filled by C. B. Nutting.
Mr. Nutting is well known in
Nebraska. During the years 1933
35, he filled temporary appoint
ments on the law school faculty
during the absences of Professors
Orfieid and Coffman who were do
ing work as graduate fellows at
the Harvard Law School. He is at
jpiesent associate professor of law
at the University of Texas. Mr.

censored. Fortmann declared that
very few of the letters from his
friends and relatives had been
opened. "Perhaps you would like
to see a picture of my Nazi
brother." he suggested as he
moved to a dresser in the far cor
ner of the room and produced a
picture of a handsome blonde Ger
man dressed in the attire of the
Nazi soldier.
The student's brother is a pro
fessor in a German "gymnasium"
under the employ of the Govern
ment, and is decidedly in favor ot
the program, he informed. After
his graduation from the university,
he spent several years in the
teaching service and is now serv
ing his year with the regular army
which, is compulsory for all citi
zens under the present regime.
To Rebuild Culture.
The movement as described by
Fortmann is entirely among the
youth of the nation although the
older generation is not offering
opposition. Since the war the im
migration into the country has
Iwn so great that, Germany is no
longer the unit as she has always
prided herself with being. For
eigners have come in and have
capitalized on the opportunities
offered through German facilities
and were, until the last few years,
tending to take over control of the
country.
It has been the objective of der
Heir to check such a decline in
German society and to rebuild the
true German culture of a few de
cades a?o. Ln the opinion of Mr.
Foitj"unn, there was no ether
manner in which the movement
could have been inaugurated than
the harshly imperialistic practices
that Hitler has adopted. His strict

Winner of the Intel fraternity
Scholarship cup for six consecu

set up by Farm House when they

for the last two semesters. The
award was made at the annual
interfraternity banquet held Fri
day night at the Comhusker

Prof. E. F. Schramm, faculty
advisor to the Interfrateinity
council, and one of the donors ot
; the scholarship cup with Dean T.
J. Thompson and Col. C. J. Frank-
furter. made the awards. He told
the 200 fraternity men present
! that he "hopes to sec them at the
j top of the scholastic rating next
iir" h also rxnressed the be
lief that the annual banquet should
be held in the fall instead of the
spring as has teen the custom in
the past. Tables for each fra
ternity and five or six hundred
attendi.'.g is the type of banquet
he hopes for in the future.
Dean W. C. Harper, the princi
pal speaker of the evening, de
clared the banquet to be a fii.e
thing in getting all the boys to
gether once a vear for a good
time. Looking toward the future
he predicted a "great opportunity
for fraternities to get back on a
prosperous basis in the next few
years."
Stresses Scholarship.
"Fraternities will remain secure
if they do good tound thinking and
! planning." Harper declared. The
j groups should get behind all the
fraternities and worn oui uieir
mutual problems to the benefit of
all."
Dean Harper advised that poli
tics be swept out of all activities,
especially from fraternity activi
ties such as their parties and ban
quets. He suggested that they
would do well to put moie stress
along scholarship lines, and stated
that he would like to see the fia
