From the caeaphonr of jumbled opinions tvai'iei about the campus as to the site and structure of the Student Union building, four clearly distinct and divergent positions pro ject themselves. Some students want it on the site of Ellen Smith hall, some on the lennis courts, some want an "L'' shaped building-, some an "K"' shaped structure. The Daily Xebrnskan has taken its stand. We would like to see a buildin? of "L" archi tectural design situated where are now the tennis courts. The Daily Nebraskan does not expect a universal and sweeping ''Hooray" of commendation to approve its sucrestion. "We flatter ourselves, however, on a few supporters. But no matter thai. What is important is that student sentiment must be crystallized and presented to the board of regents in sin gle, unified, powerful fashion. Dissenting committee opinions and minority reports don't help the student cause in the administration's eyes. .And after all. the administration has the final say-so not only about the shape of the buildinc and its location, but on the all impor tant question of whether we have a Union or not. Tf the students plan to in any way exert influence on the regents, and attempt to con vince them to their way of thinkinp, they must present a unified front. The Student Union committee of the Student Council is the go between of the campus and the repents. It must represent the students at all repents' meetings on the Union. If it is split in two or three factional croups, its influence is nepli jrible. It will be impossible to determine who does or does not represent the true student attitude, and the administration will ignore, and riphtly so, the committee. The Student Union committee proposed to the campus planning board that the most suit able location for the Union is the tennis courts, and the "L" a proper shape. It is thought that more room for expansion and for the addition of an auditorium is available there than any other place on the campus. Its centralized location is ideal for any and ail student func tions. If ihe board of repents sees fit to approve another site, and construct a differently shaped building, th'ere must, he nu bickering and hoots on the part of the student hodj. Se lection of a site is but a preliminary step to actual construction. Bonds must be sold. If the Union is publicized as not representing student wishes and campus sentiment, alumni and loyal supporters will be loath to purchase the bonds which will make construction pos sible. Better have an administration chosen site and building than none at all. The Daily Xebraskan does not mean to dissuade students from exerting pressure mi the regents. We feel, and a majority of the campus feels, that of the two sues available the tennis courts are 'n be preferred. Ami ve want an "L" shaped onildinp. Hut once final decision has been made by the regents, nothinp ran be gained by protestation. All must work harmoniously and smoothh in 1he direction of a Union. The students must not be pictured in a tug-of-war with ihe administration. flnffimpses B? D4.LF. JOHNS. hiie Spanish insurgent forces inaugu rate a terrific drive upon Madrid in an effort 10 take Ihat key city, war clouds continue to gather over Europe in a series of momentous developments. Kussia renewed her demand with Hie non intervention subcommittee 1hat Portugal be blockaded by French and T-trit isli naval forces to prevent. Jtalo- ierman arms shipments from reaching the Spanish communist government. The demand was denied, and on ihe other hand, a fascist-nazi blockade of Portugal will probably follow the recent withdrawal of German-Italian recognition of the Spanish gov ernment. This to prevent Russian arms from reachinp Madrid. The report that Russian ships, muni tion! Udn, recently sailed Spainvard was accompanied by the rumor that the Rus sian Black sea fleet had sailed for an un known destination. If the Italo-Oerman blockade is attempted, it is ?uite possible that an encounter 'With Russian warships in the Mediterranean will precipitate the impending general European war. Jt setiiis liktly that .Russia is ready and even desirous of beginning the conflict. She is anxious to extend communism to other Kuro pean countries. This explains the furore she is creating, for it has been definitely estab lished that she, Italy, and Germany have all been pouring arms into Spain. , "What Spain's part will be in the war that is almost sure to come, is uncertain. Surely Germany and Italy will be allied acainst Rus sia, (ireat Britain and France will undoubt edly enter the fray on 1he Halo-German, side in self defense. Meanwhile Japan will seize the opportunity, as she did in 1he war of 1914 101S, to gain power and territory on the Asi atic continent. . Party workers last week laid down a barrage to delight the heart of any politi cian: Amos Pinchot quoted H. O. Wells to prove that Roosevelt is a communist; but James Warburg asserted that the new deal is headed for internationalism. Landon and Knox claimed Roosevelt to be heading for a dictatorship. Mr. Hoover said that the president has juggled the nation's ac counts and should be held responsible. Mr. Vandenberg charged new dealers with shutting him off the air. The president's , son, James, it was charged by republic ans, stated that Roosevelt would recon struct the NRA. Demos countercharged G, 0. P. with falsification of his speech. Roosevelt last week toured Xew England slates, and Landon dashed to the west coast: both in last minute attempis to gain strength in these sections. The Literary Digest straw poll, which, contrary to all other national polls, indicates a Landon victory, is held by most authorities to be incompetent to forecast election results in suite of its great degree of sm-cess in the i past. These observers uphold their belief on the grounds that the Digest poll does not pet as great a percentape of returns from the poorer classes as from middle or higher classes. BY STEEVES Just when the Union discussion was getting so old that it was smelling like it was spelled with an "O" the government dug into th"ir change purse and palmed 180,000 dollars for that purpose. It all happened so suddenly that respiration is just creeping back into the campaign leaders' sys tems. Arnold Levin, torch bearer of the mess, has been trussing his side with a fist for the last days. He calls it appendicitis, but we call it acute Union building. Now, as long as there is to be building for recreational uses on the campus, we have some potent suggestions to offer to the dig nitaries. In the first place, a ball room is the major necessity. One of two things is a requisite. Either the said room must be built round or with infinite corners so that the usual jangles among corner danc ers will not be present. Perhaps a special fee could be assessed for the corners, along the reserved seat idea. If there is to be any ball room, with the modern hop- tion of German-Russian peoples !the Bohemians have shown a stronger adhesion to the locus of their ancestors than any other ru- ral dwellers among the foreign : stocks. The latter peoples have I congregated principally in Butler, ('olfax, rawnee, Manne, aunners and Valley counties. In Saline and Colfax the Bohemians com prise about four-fiftha of the for eign stock. In reviewing his array of statis tical matter he found that the English, Scotch. Welsh, Canadian and Irish generally show no ap preciable tendency toward group settlements, altho there are small communities of Irish people in Greeley, Hall and Holt counties. Few may realize that the first successful beet crop in Nebraska was grown from seeds imported from Germany, and the consequent development in the sugar beet in dustry here is largely due to the German people, mis group came to Nebraska even before 18f7 when Columbus was a thriving German settlement. In the same year Grand Island was divided for a settlement bv German expedition and Norfolk was founded in 1856 by a group of 124 Germans from Wisconsin. Swedes Came With Mormans- Swedish emigrants were even earlier. Early records show that some of them arrived with th i FChool.

He is truly "one of us"' in the "typical prairie states." Peggy Ann Landon, his gracious ilaucliter, is now a student at K. V. and is the idol of the campus, not be cause of her distinguished father's national recognition, but because she is a substantial personality in herself and a truly American co-ed.
