For the Class of 1940
This week the university opens wide its

Undoubtedly members of the class of 1940,
" you can take care of yourselves. If not, you
"'v wouldn't be here. You are entering a life
very different from any you have experienced
previously in your educational wanderings.
Especially if you are from out-state, to live
away from home for the first time. Your daily
-habits and entire mode of living will be
".changed. Home and mother's cooking and
dad's helping hand will be very remote. And
you will miss them.
But always remember that you have be

people of our commonwealth state. Don't for

w3 Nebraska. Remember the ideals of education
and light that prompted its simple birth and
great expansion. Set your goals and strive for
them. Allowances will be made for every little
slip, but keep your eyes open and both feet on
the ground and "do your darndest."
To A Greater Nebraska.
Precedent dictating, it is the duty of a new
Daily Nebraskan editor to signal his advent to
office with preachments designed to man the
helm of the university bark and to indicate
the stepping stones of editorial policy. Prece
dent willing, the present staff will depart from
custom and make no advance of beacons to
guide the editorial tongue thru the coming se
mester. Any dedication of the present Ne
braskan 's columns which may follow will be
to the university itself not to individualistic
issues.
The format of the Nebraskan remains the
same. The type, the paper, the style. But the
sentient spirit behind the external features has
changed. Viewpoints may differ, may perhaps
he the antipodal to those of previous editors,
feelings may run high and tempers flare, but
no matter whose toes are trod upon, the Daily
Nebraskan will feel it is acting in the best in
terests of the university community.
AVe have here in Lincoln fitting memorial
to the spirit of the pioneers who broke this
soil. What could express more the clearness
of thought and hardihood of mind of them who
brought schools and education into the primi
tive Nebraska than this great institution, rear
ing its head from the prairies in the semblance
of scholasticism and honor? It is for us who
are now residents of the little city which their
foresight and effort created to dedicate our
selves to its betterment and glory.
There is no reason whv Nebraska should
not be the outstanding educational institution
in the middle west. Our fame has spread wide
and our men and women are treated with re
spect and honor wherever they travel. Glory
on the gridiron has been wafted to all corners
of the nation. Nebraska athletes gained recog
nition and prominence in the recent Olympics.
Scholastically. our university rates high. We
have leaders in every field of endeavor.
But we have not reached the ultima
ihule of college perfection. There is much
to be done. No institution such as this one
can rest on past achievements. To do so in
vites decay and disintegration. Nebraska
must continue taking strides forward. In
every angle of scholastic endeavor, in the in
troduction of new ideas and new thought,
in increased facilities, in new teaching prin
ciples, Nebraska must not lag. but must be
in the van.
Often in the past this policy has not
been followed. There have been many occa
sions where, the Nebraskan believes, student
and university interests have been at vari
ance, and not co-operative. Chances to ex
pand have been overlooked, we have some
times failed to become opportunists when op
portunity not only knocked but whistled and
calied out loud as well.
It is this situation which the Nebraskan
hopes to be able, in part at least, to remedy.
No high flights of ego give the editor the im
pression that his words are going to lead to
overnight improvements. Great results are not
expected, but perhaps a bit of thought may be
stimulated which can spark, flame, and per
haps some day do some good.
To students who are dissatisfied or not al
together pleased with the status quo of our
community, the Daily Nebraskan opens wide
the Student Pulse column for all epistolary
ranting, raving, storming, or back slapping
that may be evoked.
The Nebraskan exists primarily to serve
the student body. It is our intention to so con
vey ourselves that we will express the senti
ments and beliefs of the scholastic community
residents. With the idealistic goal of becom
ing a part of each student's university life, we
make our bow.

Retrospect
BY ARNOLD LEVIN
Warning?
With swastika emblazoned war
planes roaring overhead, Adolf
Hitler widened the warlike breach
between nazi Germany and com
munistic Russia by declaring Ger
many would be "overwhelmingly
prosperous" if the reich possessed
the fertile farm lands and ores of
the soviet.
Chancellor Hitler looked to the
north and east and promised tri
umph if he and his "new Ger
many" and his rugged, stolid
neighbor clashed.
Several weeks ago Soviet Dic
tator Joseph Stalin warned his
people of impending struggle,
calling his devotees to the land
to sacrifice their lives if need
be, to stem the wild cry of anti
communism seeping from the
west. Later Russian tycoons
denied any communications of
the dictator to his people, label
ing all rumors of radio speeches
as malicious canards designed
to steer public opinion into the
channels of hatred for the soviet.
of lives of their brothers, of peace,
livelihod, and brotherhood, of de
stroyed towns and battle-scarred
fields. Civil war is the most cruel
war. No quarter is given, and none
asked. Death is the reward for
surrender.
But civil war is not uncommon.
The French made the gutters of
Paris run red. The English have
had their tiffs. Russia had her
critical 1917. The United States
experienced the foulness of fight
ing brother against brother.
But to think that such could
take place in 1936, in our great
civilization, in our love and char
ity for all making what splen
did talk, but how hypocritically
foul Is our civilization. . What
waste and horror a people can
Inflict upon itself!
Stalin and his higher ups were
cautious, careful to breed inner,
defiance, and yet retain the out
ward appearances of good will.
Stalin's reported warning against
outside threats was drowned in
Russian appeals for world peace
and promised co-operation to bring
the white dove into suspicious.
armed Europe.
Not so with der fuehrer. He
fears not the wrath of the world.
His covetous eye wanders to what
Germany needs most economically
raw materials. The reich's
struggle is a difficult one. In the
face of conservation engaged in by
every European power, the nazis
have been unable to keep their
people clothed and fed properly.
Discontent 'is breeding. Hitier may
follow Mussolini's precedent of
taking his nation's collective mind
off its own troubles by directing
it in the prosecution of a foreign
conquest. Mussolini was careful
to choose Ethiopia. Hitler looks
at Russia, If he should lose"
The Soviets aren't blind to this
threat to their equanimity. They
realize what is coming and they
are preparing.
In 1914 the growling Russian
bear and militaristic Germany
fired The first shots of the '14
'18 holacaust. Perhaps the new
Germany and soviet Russia, with
their alliances and counter alli
ances, treaties of defense, and
chancellory agreements, will be
gin another World war.

Three district judges recognized
manifest errors and discrepan
cies" in the Nebraska unicameral
legislative districting act. but had
sufficient regard for the state
governmental and political equi
librium to refuse to void the act,
The plaintiff argued that the
legislature failed to make equitable
apportionment as to population,
and districts were not in some
cases contiguous and compact as
required by law. Also that the
amendment to the constitution in
1934 for the one chamber legisla
ture was not self executing and
that a valid apportionment act was
required to give it force. It was
contended that because the appor
tionment act was unconstitutional,
the unicameral legislature would
not be operative..
The sageness of the law, how
ever, was not to be overcome,
and the triumvirate, sitting en
banc, declared that the plain
tiff's suggestions "would bring
nothing to the people of this
state except uncertainty, chaos,
and virtual dissolution of the
state government which ws find
would produce a far greater
wrong than would be prevented
by the granting of a writ of In
junction in this case."
Waste and Horror
The anarchist faction of the
Spanish loyal government have de
clared they would rather burn San
Sebastian to the ground than have
it fall into the hands of besieging
fascists. Revolt blazes within the
defender's own ranks as the an
archists take time from pot-shooting
at the rebels to quell the
Basque element, intent on saving
the city no matter what happens.
It won't matter, now, if the de
fenders are blown out of their city
or surrender death awaits its due
either way. The fascist rebels
have refused to give general am
nesty if the loyalists surrender.

Plans are being made for a

fore, and selection of voices by
tryout will be held in 219 Morrill

may try out as no previous en-

campus activities.
At the same time try outs will
f-vi be held for the organization of a

ganization will be the first of its
kind on the campus.
"I am very anxious that these
vocal tryouts be given proper con
sideration," states Mr. Tempel, "so
that the selected groups will rep
resent the best voices on the uni

Mr. Tempel has been very ac

50 voices this year.

ert Drew of the Wesleyan Foundation will contribute the column.)
. . . . O
Thousands of young men and
young women are spending their
first Sunday away from home to
day. The vision that has been be
fore you for the past few years
has now become a reality, and no
doubt you are saying to yourself
"Life begins in the fall". Old stu
dents will join you in the thought
for it is true that right now there
is a stir within us all that tells
us of dozens of activities that will
soon demand all of our energies.
New students and old may well
begin the year by asking a very
pertinent question, "Is life at Ne
braska for me during the year that
is just ahead to be a jumble of
activity, or am I determined to
take my life in hand and so direct
it that at the end of a busy year
I may feel that I have been build
ing?" I mean by this that I want
to take those capacities and tal
ents which I have already discov
ered in my own life and plan and
direct all of my activities in such
a way that growth for good will
be the result."
Now if the idealism that has
been taught you by parents and
good friends back home still has
a hold on your life, if you really
believe that there are some
things In life worth standing
for, you are headed in the right
direction. Your real worth is
not simply in you, but in the
things for which you stand.
We may safely say that no
where in life is there a greater
place to find worthwhile things
for which to stand than in a uni
versity. For it Is here where
men are struggling with ideas,
and ideas result In action ac
tion for the Individual and for
the social groups.
Young people today have much
to consider if they are really to be
builders. Remember that the kind
of life you are building and the
things for which you are known to
stand are reminders for others as
they look at you! The student who
is strong and well in body and
mind, whose life is wholesome,
whose thoughts and objectives are
right and clean, has an opportunity
to reach out and build in many
ways that the university com
munity will be different and in
years to come society throughout
our great commonwealth will ben
efit. How great a challenge to
stand for the fundamentals of
common decency! First of all a
student can stand for honesty
plain common, everyday honesty
in his own study and in the class
even during exams. It is not nec
essary to worry too much about
world brotherhood if there are
those on our own campus who do
not have a fair chance. Those
larger objectives for which we
should all show a concern are only
to succeed in the community and
national life as we learn the fun
damentals of the good life with
our fellow students.
What about religion? Are you
planning a life of growth along
this line or are your ambitions
such that you will just leave re
ligion and the church completely
out of the picture? Let it be
said with great emphasis that
students at Nebraska find an
attraction to the church and its
forward looking program for
students. A leadership set aside
for student life has been pro
vided by several of the religious
bodies. Men and women who are
alert to the problems of stu
dents are always available on
and near the campus. Their
whole concern is to be sym
pathetic and understanding
helpers at all times, and they
covet the opportunity to serve.
If you are in earnest about
the matter of building a worth
while life and making your in
fluence felt for good in society,
religion must be a very vital
part of your plan. Remember
though, you are the builder!
