A Dream
Realized.
sistiinlMt-'s annual freshman varsity foot
ball game will he the expose of the year long
undercurrent talk of and efforts at "dressing
up" the Nebraska band.
Ever since public attention was forcibly
directed to the deplorable unit, labeled the R.
0. T. C. band last year, the military depart
ment has labored to secure new uniforms, di
vide the band into junior and senior groups,
and instruct the members thoroly in the finer
points of drilling.
Their efforts will be revealed when the
new hand takes the field between halves of
Saturday's scrimmage. All signs point to sue
cess, for the band has been reduced numerical
ly to permit drilling facility, and 1he new uni
forms promise to lend color and smartness
that was far removed from the drab uniforms
of yesteryear.
A srreat amount of money has been put
into new uniforms for the senior hand, and fl
new instructor has been hired for the junior
organization. In order to help pay for the new
equipment, the proceeds of the varsity-freshman
parae will be turned over to the military
department.
The Nebraskan urges every student on the
campus to attend the game, if at all possible,
and pay his quarter toward the reformation of
a truly university enterprise the band. This
will be the student's opportunity to express
his appreciation of the work done to give the
university capable band representatives who
can match up against those of any other school.
The process of division has reduced the
size of the senior band from 170 to 1 00 pieces.
All those who Mere incapable of passing the
rigorous examination for this group were
placed in the junior division. Thus, the senior
band is composed of men who have had expe
rience. The junior band is for newcomers and
freshmen, and will act as a stepping stone to
the senior organization. Juniors will receive
training at rallies and other affairs.
Two uniforms are possessed by the senior
group the old grey for drilling under inclem
ent conditions, and new red and white crea
tions for parades and games. All the hats of
the new suits are adorned by white plumes,
which should present a striking picture weav
ing and bobbing in the wind.
A capable band has been the dream of the
campus for rears. Now that sleps have been
taken to make the Nebraska band a smart.
Rncppv. skillful unit, student support is needed
to retain it at iis high level. That support can
be given by attendance at the freshman-varsity
game tomorrow.

Thin Tradition!
TO THE EDITOR:
Traditions are few and t i- between at Ne
braska but there are a few which should be
kept. The Innocents society expects the fresh
men to uphold the long standing tradition of
wearing freshman caps.
Many nf these same Tuiineents are m the
Student Council which itself is headed by an
Innocent. The Student Council is now in the
midst of what may be the undoing of one of
the oldest traditions of the school thai is still
observed. This, namely, is the privilege of
oyening the formal season which has been a
privilege and tradition given to the Military
ball.
The Military ball has for many years been
the outstanding social function on the campus
and is second only to the Ak-Sar-Ken ball at
Omaha in social importance in the stale. This
is not because, as the advocales of the rotation
of parties idea would have lis believe, it is the
opening of the formal season at Nebraska, but
mainly because of its attraction from a show
standpoint.
l'eopln love to see something different and
the striking appearance of so many men in uni
form at such a party draws the attention of
many who would not be attracted merely for
the formal season's opening. To have either
the Junior-Senior prom or lnterfraternity ball
open the season would attract little more in
terest than they now do in the spot they now
occupy.
To have the Military ball at the close or
in the middle of the formal season would not
detract from it in the least and the crowd
would attend no matter what the date. The
purpose which the Student Council wishes to
fulfill would not be accomplished and a tradi
tion of long standing would be lost.
Someone said there's something about a
Foldier that attracts, so why not leave things
ts thev now stand and uphold one of Nebras
ka's few remaining traditions. I am sure if
the idea were to be tried out the things 1 have
spoken of would be found only too true. Let
the Military ball open the formal season.
HUTTON L. HOWE.
"Mr. Innes
Misses the Point."
TO THE EDITOR:
In an issue two days back I wrote a lettet
pointing out that Dr. Friedrich Schoenemann,
visiting professor from fascist Germany at the
University of Nebraska, painted a pretty pic
ture of the Hitler regime. My source was a
feature story n the Daily Nebraskan an in
terview with Herr Schoenemann in which the
professor stated "... the most important
change that the nazi regime has wrought in
German schools has been to make professor
ind student 'kameradsdraftlich.' " The point
of my letter, which seems to have escaped at
least one person, was that liberalism has been
crushed in Germany, that it is possible for fas
cist propaganda to be disseminated in this uni
versity, and finally that these things indicate
the growth of a fascist consciousness in this
country. In my letter attempted to point oul
some of the developments that have arisen
since Hitler took power: book burnings, sup
pression of civil rights, nationalistic hysteria,
destruction of culture, terrorism against the
Jewish race, violence and sadism.
And now one Boyd Innes seeks to make a
personal issue out of. a discussion of fascist
trends by calling me a lot of names. I submit
that this' is no way to discuss any issue, if that
was actually what Mr. Innes was attempting to
do. Calling me a "bloodhound" may be good
stuff for remarks in the back of high school
annuals, but it doesn't mitigate the fact that
Mr. Innes was unable to disprove any of the
points I made. Shedding tears for "an inno
cent professor. . . helpless before an attack of
that nature" hardly takes into consideration
that these columns are open to Herr Schoene
mann to make any sort of a reply that he
wishes, even as they are to Air. Lines and my
self. Pointing out' my ignorance in mis
spelling a German word neglects mention of
the fact that I copied the word as spelled from
a quotation by Herr Schoenemann in the Dail;
Nebraskan. which I assumed to be correct.
Comparing my point of view with that of Ar
thur Brisbane" is so patently absurd that I hesi
tate to point out to Mr. Innes, who must be
verv naive indeed, that Brisbane is employed
by and writes for William Randolph Hearst,
whose connections with Hitler are well known
to prominent educators and progressives
everywhere. Inferring that my letter was
prompted by a desire for personal publicity
scarcely needs reply: 1 could in turn accuse
him of the same.
I am not concerned with gutter tactics,
and if Mr. Innes wishes to keep a discussion
of the rise of fascism above a purely personal
level, 1 shall be more than glad to meet him
more than half way. My letter was concerned
with Herr Schoenemann and his case purely
as an example; I have no interest in consider
ing him as an individual phenomenon, and if
Mr. Innes will re-read my letter he will see that
1 am concerned only with him as one who ac
cepts a regime which has been condemned by
decent people everywhere.
If Mr. Innes resents my statements in re
gard to fascism, as his vague and confused let
ter implies. I can only assume that he regards
the menace of fascism as of little consequence.
Men such as John Dewey. America's most im
portant living philosopher: Charles A. Beard,
the eminent historian; Robert Morss Lovett,
one of America's foremost literary critics, are
deeplv concerned over the possibility of fas
cism in America and take an active part in the
struggle against it. Are they perhaps "blood
hounds." "youngsters." "little ducks," alarm
ists "uncovering international intrigue"?
Perhaps Mr. Innes will supply us with this
information. WELDON KEES.
LHrvlIIPSES
As it becomes more and more apparent
that the present civil war in Spain will end
without embroiling the nations in the world
in the so called "inevitable" general conflict,
the question naturally arises as to where the
battleground of the next war will be.
The world's attention is now shifting to
eastern Russia as the likely site of the next
international strife. Germany is eyeing Rus
sia's wealth of raw material with envious eyes.
Hitler has gone so far as to say publicly. "If 1
had the Urals, if we possessed Siberia, if we
had the Ukraine, national socialist Germany
would be swimming in surplus prosperity."
This is a confirmation of the rumors that Hit
ler and Germany covet the Soviet's raw mate
rials. In another speech the reichsfuehrer told
the young nazis that "if ihe hour ever comes
when our old adversary (Russia) makes an at
tempt upon us. you will be standing beside,
behind and before me and will help me fiirht."
Undoubtedly the "attempt" that the peace
loving Russians will make on the nazis will bo
similar to the "attempts" that the Chinese are
making on the Japanese and the "attempts"
that the Ethiopians made on the Italians.
The Germans cannot be entirely con
(lernned for their apparently greedy attitude
toward the rich lands of Russia. Germany wa-
robbed of most of her natural resources by the
division effected after t he World war when
Alsace-Lorraine and other rich colonies were
taken away from her. As a result, not possess
ing these raw materials within her own boun
daries, not possessing: any colonies with these
materials, and shut off by high tariff walls
from obtaining these materials from more for
tunate countries, Germany is condemned to
economic troubles until these raw nuttrials are
obtained somewhere to feed her huge popula
tion. . .....
Germany, in desperation, is admittedly
preparing to snatch these essentials of life
from the innocent Russians, as impoverished
Italy snatched them from innocent Ethiopia,
and as impoverished Japan is snatching them
from innocent China.
If Germany becomes involved in a war
with Russia, she will very likely be joined by
land hungry Italy and possibly by Japan, who
covets Russian and Chinese lands on the east.
Russia is becoming more and more con
scious of these fascist threats. She is fever
ishly compiling two broad military highways
to the experled seat of trouble, the Polish bor
der. From Kiev, Soviet Commissar of "War
Voroshilove says with outward confidence,
"We not only will prevent his (the Russian
enemy) invading our own country but we will
beat him in the territory from whence he
came.
Who will aid the Russians in this hypo
thetical wan,? Until recently Russia and France,
possessed with a common fear of Germany,
were bound by a pact to protect each other in
case of attack. Recently rumor has it that
Germany will attempt to buy off the French
with trade privileges, thus giving the nnzis a
free hand in Russia. To support this rumor
is the fact that Reich Minister Schact recently
visited Paris, Avith French Finance Minister
Basti returning his visit in the following week.
The German foreign office thereupon an
nounced that negotiations for a trade treaty
were to begin this fall.
CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
Acquire
iXetc Skills.
The psychologist knows that determined
learning can achieve miracles. He knows that
when men are properly guided they move
toward achievement with a speed and com
pleteness that art amazing.
The man of great accomplishment was
not great from the start. But he was able to
make himself great. Great men have been
great because they treated problems as chal
lenges rather than terrors, because they at
tacked and overcame their weaknesses. The
fact that some people may have a bigger
mental endowment than we is all the more
reason for making every scrap of ability and
power that we possess count to the limit.
Everything, however, depends on how we
set about learning. By far the most common
cause of ineffective learning is an absence of
an aggressive will to learn.
Any job of learning is a process of experi
menting and discovering. Thinking between
practice is one of the most valuable means of
learning.
There is no need to tolerate ineffective
ness in yourself. Learning is an art an art
to be acquired by intelligent practice. It is
worth acquiring. Why not make a start?

Work and
The College Man.
There formerly has been a sort of halo of
glamour about the lad who "worked his way
thru college." which has finally resulted in
a state of affairs where the greater percentage
of men entering college are led to a desire to
work for part of their college expenses.
The result of the whole matter are several
dangerous possibilities. In the first place, mer
chants with an eye on the cash register and not
on the welfare of his collegiate employee, have
begun an exploitation of this type of labor of
which would cause labor unions to tear their
hair in agony.
College laborers thus used are not able to
obtain from their college the maximum or near-
maximum of benefit. It is pretty well agreed

time job in itself. To attain a well-rounded
cultural and professional education is much
easier if the student can concentrate entirely
upon his education, altho the exceptional lad
may be able to do it while working his way
thru.
Of course it is a mighty line thing it a
small job enables a man to go to college where
otherwise he could not ; however, it is not to
this man that this piece is directed. It is to the
fellow who does not have to work but prefers
to because he thinks it is better to be known
as a working college man. Those who think
that there is more to be derived from, college
by working thru, have, we believe, the wrong
impression. , ,
For goodness sake, freshmen, if you don t
have to work while in college, don't do it.
Paradoxically enough, you will find that by
not working while in college you will receive
more and greater dividends than you would
get by working.

'Studies Are
ISot Everything
couple of vears ago Max McConn wrote
a book called "Studies Are Not Everything:
The Diarv of a Freshman." The picture Mr.
McConn paints thru his mythical character
who tells all to Dear Diary is not very flatter
ing; freshmen are honest but oh-so-dumb; well
intentioned but so unaware; happy, clean,
decent naive, uninformed, egostical.
" The saddest part of Mr. McConn 's rollick
ing studv is that it is all too tiue. When the
freshman horde conies bursting on the campus,
full of enthusiasm, upperclassmen with a philo
sophical bent are inclined to wonder. Each
freshman class is the hope for the future, and
when the future becomes the present it is
notoriouslv black.
The ever present issue in the freshman
mind is studies vs. activities. We have one
fact, the fruit of long experience, to add to
your alreadv large collection of data on the
subject. There are very few cases of students
who die of chronic grinditis. There are never
any long lines of pale and wan students wait
ing outside the psychiatrists' offices for treat
ment of the study-habit disease.
In other words, activities somehow man
age to take care of themselves. Studies don't.
If balance is not maintained, you can bet your
freshman cap that activities is the lion, studies
the mouse.
AVith tears in our eyes, we say that you.
freshman, are the one who suffers when you
reassure vourself that studies are not every
thing. If you find yourself getting a lean and
hungrv look, that 'you are getting a bleary,
haunted expression, it's probably due to late
dates eight nights a Aveek, not to excess eru
dition. Not only will activities take care of
themselves, but'you will find that the activi
ties you have engaged in fit your personality
to suit the most exacting Doris Blake.
Play safe then. Study. Study until you
feel that if you read another word they will
have to put you in a straight jacket. Then
go out and get drunk or run around the block
or go to work on our activities. At the end
of the year you may discover yourself to be
a much' more' sane and knowing individual.
