Interest
Re-Awakens.
That there still exists a propensity on the
part of the student miml to interest itself in
the affairs of the world 'was disclosed with
the revival of the International Relations Chili.
For some years defunct in activity and
gradually being eliminated from the university
scene because of slack student participation,
the club is promised a new life by the worldly
conscious element of students.
Tt is a worthy undertaking, for now as
never in the past decade international
relations have taken on an aspect which
threatens the future security and peaceful
living of students the world over. A proper
understanding of what is transpiring on this
earth as of 1936 is necessary if the students
of today are to become the leaders of to
morrow. The Daily Nebraskan news article
characterized the club as having in the past
"comprised the nucleus of liberal students
on the campus." That connotation may have
derived from the general opinion that anyone
who has ideas about and is interested in
lliwnnllnnal oft'sirc ic C I 1 tT Vl t N' llVlrfll TllPI'P
llliciliaiiuuni o-iiii txipfc,,,. -
is no reason for a discussion croup on world
relationships to be classed as a liberal oriratii-
-ration. Conservation- - opinions are just as
welcome as liberal, and the personnel of ihe
group caters to neither.
Tt is a variety of opinion that adds zest
10 this organization. Liberals, all of one mind
would find little to discuss. "This is good and
this is bad, and that's that." would symbolize
any single-minded group, be it liberal, con
servative, Republican, Democrat, fascist or
communist. It is when variant ideas and cross
purposes are introduced that the fur begins
to fly and the spectator's interests are aroused.
The Daily Nebraskan heartily endorses
the revival of the International Relations
Club, and recommends that all students in
terested, no matter what political or economic
creed, attend and spiel out ilieir beliefs to
what promises to be a critical and analytical
group.

To Correct a
False Impression.
TO THE EDITOR:
The following is an excerpt from letter
by Dr. Edear S. Furniss. Dean of the Graduate
School of Tale t'niversity. in recard to
charges made by Harry Elmer Barnes in a
recent speech here to the effect that Vale
University dismissed a member of its staff be
cause of opposition to prevalent political
opinions :
"I am gaid that you wrote me ulioiit
the situation at Yale as dcsrcilicl dy
Harry Elmer Barnes. It is finite untrue,
of course, that Vale is "firinir" any of
its staff because of its opposition to Sm'ial
or political opiriiori!i. The iiuin in U-st inn
in not a full professor, but a member mi
temporary tenure of the f j i f u 1 1 y of the
Divinity School. If is true that he holds
rather advanced views on social matters
and has been (piite active in jiropngat inu
his opinions. It is true. too. that these
activities have aroused opposition to him
among the alumni, but the university has
been very careful during his tenure to
protect him from attack on ihis ground nnd
to assure him all the freedom lie desired
in the matter of expressing his views.
His appointment came to an end last
June along with several others of his rank
who were described by their departments
and faculties as not meriting promotion
to a professorship. He was reappointed for
one year only under instruction to seek a
position elsewhere. This decision was
based upon his lack of merit as a scholar,
in which even his friends on the faculty
agree. 1 can see that Vale has placed
itself in a bad light in this matter ami I
can quite understand why this act inn is
b"inp interpreted as t ict im iat inn of a
alicsl member of our Htaff. This is. how
ever, a false interpretation of the situa
tion. Yale has always had an enviable
record in its defense of freedom of speech
and opinion among its faculty, and it can
le said truthfully that this case is no
except ion."
This excerpt may in part correct Ihe false
impression left by Harry Elmer Barnes'
speech.- L. H. Kurz.
Uiy Cut
Before Vocation?
TO THE EDITOR:
The university sets nside time every year
for Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations. But
some students seem to think that school offi
cials do not actually incnn that these are fixed
dates and apply to them, for these students
must always leave two or three days early.
Hut can nnvthing bo done about such a prob
lem" A few students evidently think that if a
vacation actually begins on Thursday, then
that really means that they are to go home
Tuesday, or if the vacation starts Tuesday,
then they must leave the Friday before. Would
it do any good to change vacation dates set
them ahead a few days for example, and pro
vide for a still longer vacation? In that event,
the only response from those students who
leave early would be for them to leave still
earlier. '
Assuredly, nolhing could be done along
that line, for those students feel that no matter
v hat date is set, they must leave before then.
Another plan would be for the instructors to
reserve examinations until the final class meet
ing before vacations. This might work, yet if
those students are bound to cut and have
formed the habit, no examinations will stand
in their way. And no instructor likes to give
an examination when he knows for a certainty
it will have to be repeated later. Evidently it
is up to the students themselves lit stay in
school until vacations ;icfnally begin.
No one can keep them in school if they
;tre determined to leave, as the system of dou
ble cuts before and after vacations has proved.
Hy leaving early they disrupt classes and
school schedules, yet apparently nothing ean
be done by ihe university to correel this en
tirely. It is not a question that the university
ean settle; it is entirely up to those who feel
they must always leave two or three days early
for each vacation. What can be done to rem
edy this is a problem to be solved by these stu
dents, and evidently they are not enough cmi
cerned to do much about it. Velma French.
YI CHINESE STAFF
PLANS DISPLAY FOR
Oriental Articles Shown at
Ellen Smith Hall on
December 7.
As its first project of the year
the "China in Nebraska" staff of
the university Y. W. C. A. will
display articles of Chinese manu
facture at a bazaar to be held
Tuesday, Dec. 7, In Ellen Smith
hall.
The staff has planned the dis
play so that students interested in
buying Christmas presents may do
so at a nominal price. A variety
of articles ranging from Coolie
coats, chop sticks. Incense, ciga
rette boxes, Jewelry, bronze and
wooden ware, and dishware will be
on display. Trices range from
five cents to ten dollars.
It is estimated that J400 wortn
of the Chinese articles were pur
chased by the Y. V. staff. Mil
dred Holland, chairman, with eight
members of the staff has arranged
to be present during the day Tues
day to assist prospective buyers.
The money made during the
bazaa rwill be sent to the na
tional fund used for supporting
Y. W. C. A. workers in China. A
series of similar rlisplayr are
planned by the staff thruout the
year, according to Miss Holland.
All university students are in
vited to attend the bazaar re

Hairdressers Hail the Changeable.
Coiffure as Best Stvle in Model
sV
Women's Arrangement of Tresses
Give yourself a new hair styling
for a sure way to startling gla
mour and sheer loveliness.
Create your personality anew
with an Individually designed coif
fure as a fitting complement to
your formal gown,
Coiffures of the moment are both
feminine and flattering. In adapt
ing style points of created hair
dresses, the Individual must allow
for variations according to her
own special type.
A new coiffure may demand a
new permanent. If it does, don't
hesitate to "shop" around and
find one to your liking, for hair
beauty, front and back view, will
be greatly enhanced since the best
waves nowadays condition the hair
perfectly for chic coiffure trends.
Change Coiffure at Night.
An expertly designed evening
hair arrangement can be adapted
for daytime wear just as a simple
daytime coiffure may be glowing
ly transformed for night life by a
deft use of the brush and comb, to
sweep the hair off the neck to the
crown of the head.
For evening, a long bob may be
brushed up and swirled at the
back, with big curls laid along a
lengthy parting, and a comb to
add to the effect. Brush your hair
up and away from the face for the
smartest coiffure and the loveliest
sheer. Good hairdressers brush, as
well as comb, out a "set."
Sleek crowns of smooth, shining
hair give a "pretty lady" feeling
to the pompadour front and its
stylized Juliet roll across the low
neckline. Ostrick tips high In the
pompadour add a distinctive decor
ative note.
Fluffed Curl Style.
With all the adaptation of
"swing," a specially created hair
style also has its distinctive points.
Big, fat curls arranged at the back
in no definite precision in rows but
slanting and crisscross, make this
coiffure a pleasant change from
the consistent perfection of most
styling.
A low, long carving part from
the forehead to the nape of the
neck features large, heavy curls
laid along the low ritckline. Wide
loose waves are brushed back from
the forehead, and adorned with
blackbirds on a blond head to go
with black velvet.
"Tops" are birds as hair orna
ments. Avoiding the gaudy in
choice of ornament Is essential for
a smart appearance. A minimum
of jewelry should accompany the
use of hair ornaments. A heavily
decorated frock needs no startling
accents.
Ears are being uncovered to give
opportunity for the exquisite ac
cent of earrings.

GLIMPSES
By Dale Martin.
The conference of American States now
being held in South America is not the regular
meeting of western hemisphere diplomats but
a special conference called by President
Roosevelt at the conclusion of peace between
Bolivia and Paraguay. Although the objects
of these conferences are to promole peace and
belter trade relations in the Americas, the
principal consideration is peace.
Among oiher objectives the convening
diplomats -Hill discuss proposals to put exist
ing treaties into one general pact, to establish
an Tiiter-American Court of of Justice, and
to limit armaments.
Latin American countries have become
nervous over the disappearance of the last
independent count ry in Africa despite the
protests of the League of Nations. Threats of
a European war and the dictatorial desires
of smne European countries to obtain colonies
make them anxious to unite countries of the
western hemisphere. Europe, therefore, may
be warned to maintain a hands off policy
toward American countries by the Americas
speaking as a hole.
Should the Miinroe 'Doctrine be re-af-tinnd.
this special conference ".ill un
doubtedly assume a special significance in
history.
President Roosevelt's appearance in
Hii'-nos Aires symbolizes the desire of the
Americas to be free from aggression and to
uphold the rights of all nations. Throughout
the Americas differences have generally been
confined within the boundaries of individual
countries, and no American country looks
from its neighbors with eyes ," degression.
Two Wall Street .lonruiil experts spent six
weeks finding out what "Social Security" was
all about. The two main phases of the program,
however, are fairly clear.
The old age annuities are intended to pro
vide for a regular income as a matter of right
to aged men and women: iherehy inducing
ihem to retire and increase opportunities for
younger workers. Every man and woman em
ployee is eligible except farmers, domestics,
hose whose pay eoines from tips, employes of
non-profit organizations, government em
ployees of organizations which have a pension
system, crews of ships, and those over H5 years
of age.
t
Taxis to finance ihe annuities will come
through pay deductions made by employers.
The eligible worker pays fine percent of his
wages 'up to .:i.(MII) per yenr'i to Ihe federal
government, beginning next year. The tax
rate will ihen increase by one half of one
percent in 1!M!l. Employers must match the
percent every three years until it reaches three
percent in 1 f4!l. Employers must match the
worker's share of the taxes. Wages repre
sented in merchandise must be included.
To receive the benefits any worker who
reaches H5 in lfl42 or later may quit his job
and receive government checks the rest of his
life if he has been employed at least one day
in each of five calendar years after 1936, and
if his earnings during that period total at
least .$2,000.
A comparison with private insurance re
veals that the government insurance is not
necessarily cheaper than private insurance
would be. 1'nder the government plan a 35
year old worker would receive between 65 and
70 dollars per month if he and his employer
paid a total annual fax of frlRfl. For a similar
private insurance policy he would have to pay
nearly I25. In the rase of workers now '20 or
under, the total of employee employer taxes
would exceed the cost of a private policy.
Rradv lor the
Holiday Whirl?
Xmas is almost here! Xmas and
the longest vacation of the school
year. You'll be going home to
your family and to your old
friends. There will be dances and
dinners and shows -enough to last
you till Faster according to the
duly constituted authorities and
there's no doubt that you'll be
wanting to look your very best
when you return to meet friends,
relations and the neighbors.
The first thing to look out for
is vour complexion. It has to be
smooth am! unperturbed by the
slightest suggestion of bumps and
irregularities beneath the surface,
of pimples -no matter how occa
sional above.
Doubtless you have already
taken your diet under consider
ation? And you are now living
on an unmitigated diet of
spinach, lettuce, oranges, lean
chops and six glasses of water
daily? Maybe that is a bit dif
ficult. And anyway if you can
remember to drink plenty of
water, to say "no, thank you"
to all second portions of dessert,
fill up on vegetables and fruit,
and eschew all extra-curricular
snacks and tid-bits. that will be
all that's necessary to ensure a
proper diet.
As to exercise, also Important
in the acquirement and retaining
of a flawless, brilliant complexion
if you have no regular gym
requirement, take a brisk daily
walk of a mile or two. That will
take care of health and beauty.
And if you haven't tried unneces
sary walking before, you'll be
surprised to find how enjoyable
it is. Take a quick stepping com
panion along.
And now for a treatment that
will actually do something for the
current imperfections in your
complexion. There is a skin clear
ing cream with certain stimulat
ing qualities trat will do wonders
in producing a naturally smooth,
mat-!ike finish for your skin.
You simply smooth a very thin
film of it over your face. Ignore
for 10 or IS minutes while you
bathe, dress or do something else
in the privacy of your own
boudoir --and then remove. The
skin clearing cream acts by stim
iilnting all the little veins and
capillaries beneath the surface of
the skin. With quickened activitj.
the impurities which cause humps,
irregularities and eruptions are
forced to the surface: Hnd the
whole process of getting over
skin difficulties is hastened. You
will really be astonished to find
how quickly this cream clears
your skin. It's a whole beauty
treatment in itself, and I recom
mend it strongly as the shortest
route to beauty by Xmas. Helena
Rubenatein.
