For The
Sake of the Dance.
I. ales development in the aued but bud
ding disj-uite between the campus social organ
izations and ihe Lincoln Musicians Union
promises a ficht to the finish with no quarter
asked or eiven.
The social chairmen's organization, char
tered by the Student Council last year as an
peener'attemptin? to secure benefits and
riehts for the student body, has adopted what
virtuallv amounts to a boycott against or
chestras for house parties until the union meets
their demands cheaper rates and better mu
sic. , .
On the other side of the ience. with an
ultimatum perhaps a bit stronger in far-reach-in-r
and consequent effects, the Musician's
Union has declared that if any sorority or fra
ternity member of the social chairmen's pronp
hires a non-union orchestra, the entire campus
will lie placed on a blanket boycott, and the
services of all union orchestras, including pros
pective bands for the Military Ball and other
major social functions will be denied.
It is doubtful if the social chairmen's ac
tions, although supported by the Interfraterni
tv Council and its little-used authority, will se
cure what is desired. The controversy is not
a new one it has waped for years on the
campus. Each season finds protests and
threats hurled about, but no pod ever came of
it. Some sliyht concessions were wrested from
the Union on several occasions, but they were
fairly ncpliirible and failed to mitigate the
supposed evils.
The one most certain result, if action on
the" battle-front is continued and the two prin
cipals continue their growling and war-like
movements, is that the campus Greek houses
n itl vAetriP themselves to ''canned music." at
east for a time. If the I nion ihreat concern-
Ihe use of non-union orchestras is legiti
mate and made in serious vein, an indiscreet
move miirht blacklist the campus for the year.
Certainly no one would be anxious and eatrer
to listen to a sound-recording system in the
Coliseum for the price of a Military Ball ticket,
honorary colonel or no honorary colonel.
"While the social chairmen's actions may
be with the best intent, and desiened to reme
dy the labeled "evil" situation existing on the
campus for the past many years, the Daily
Nebraskan doubts 1 hat the extreme measures
resorted to were necessary for the propaga-
j,-.v, i 'nvnlinn 's Gov. Johnston has pro
claimed a "Iioosevelt Day" in public schools
and colleges of that state so that the students
may "help by asking their parents for con
tributions" to the democratic presidential
campaicn. Donations are to be turned over
1o teachers and thru them will pass to the
democratic stale finance headquarters. At
the same time Gov. Johnston said that if an
other republican president were elected, it
"would be a calamity to the nation and the
south especially."
The real calamity lies in ihe fact that Gov.
Johnston has used his gubernatorial powers
10 extend political propaganda to the youth of
South Carolina thru the public school system
of that state. Information coming to the stu
dent thru the medium of the public school is
blissfully accepted by him to be the indis
putable 'truth. How will be ever learn to
think if he is propagandized into his beliefs
thru mass psychology, which dispels all the
inhibitions civilization has placed upon him'.'
His thoughts are colored and his thinking pow
ers are impaired. This, of course, is not the
first time propaganda has been dispensed thru
public schools, but is certainly one of Ihe most
flagrant offenses of its kind.
The age-old battle cry. "They shall not
pass." resounded thru the ranks of Spanish
lovalist 1 roups as they took their positions for
the defense of Madrid. This is undoubtedly
the last stand of the Spanish government, for
when the insurgents gain possession of the
nation's capitol. they will have won the war.
The rebel forces are attempting a pineer-like
movement upon Madrid in an effort to dis
lodge government forces. This civil war is
setting a new speed record for conflicts of
its kind. Only 11 weeks have elapsed since

One of his students recently :
said, 'We like Dr. Fordyce be- I

Mr. Taft, who is now figuring
in Mr. Landon 's closest clique of
campaigners as an authority on so

commented to thhe effect that the
youth of Europe have worked a
definite oar into the political la

As the party left the museum to
tour sorority and fraternity streets.
its immediate purpose was to give
Mr. Tatt a glimpse of the Beta
house where he dined last night,
the congenial lepublican bigwig
expressed the opinio.i that the ex- ,
travagance of the present admini
stration would unquestionably be
the important if-sue in the coming
campaign.
"The wasie has been so flag

player and coach ejaculated in the J
palaver of his party. '

In an animated attack on Mr.
Roosevelt's showmanship pertain
ing to foreign policy, the Landon
henchman declared that his lender
was as capable of handling a com
plicated foreign situation as the
president. His further indictments
concerning the administration
d.nlt with the 'good neighbor's
policy, the buying of silver, nnd
the reciprocal trade agreements.
New officers besides President
Landis, elected to guide the young
Republicans wore: Jean Spencer,
co-chairman: Lucretia Green, se
cretary; and Hugo Apcrgren,
treasurer. All the positions were
filled by unanimous vote.
Further business of the meeting
included the appointment of a
nil end to fraternity
and sorority representatives of the
club, by Frank Landis. The com-!
mit tee 'will be headed by Wade
Davenport, who will be assisted by j
Winifred Nelson and Barbara Abbott.
The cluh will meet again next
week, Landis announced.
Work is progressing rapidly on
the new building that will house
the equipment for the new artil
lery unit. It is expected the
building will be ready for occu
pancy soon and that R. O. T. C.
work can be handled much easier.
