Xow thai football in l lie midwest is defi nitely lurked away for the -winter, athletic at tention at .Nebraska renters on turning- out a caui? team capable of -whipping- the Kansas Jayhnwks and adding the cage crown to the 1036 foutb.aH "lories. .ospile the fact that Dr. Forrest Allen is engaged in a bit tor verbal controversy with the Kansas university official student newspaper. ?.' will turn out a guod basketball team. That ii'more than a foregone conclusion it is Big Six tradition. ..' It is In the Jayhawks that each Ilig !Six ($m points when the conference crown is the prize. And this year's group of Cornhuskers have a fine chance to upset the Jays and cap ture lh.it crown. Coach Browne has a tall, speedy, veteran ball club that finished second in the conference iHfct year. This year's team plans to avenge the two setbacks by Kansas last year which cost ihe Huskers the championship. Basketball fails to attract the Nebraska uiultitude. altho last year's team drew a sea son's record crowds. Nebraska traditionally concentrates on football, with the cage sport a convenient means of filling in time from fall lootball to pri:ig football. This concept was chanced in great meas ure by lat year's fine record. Nebraska fans, with the Huskers shooting at the conference championship, besaii putting some gridiron spirit imo the coliseum. "Willi that same type of spirit behind this year's team, there is no reason why Nebraska will n it hold the championship in March. The Season is proinisine. and the si 11 dents can help bring it to a successful conclnsion. Une of the features of this year's season is the schedule which has been arranged, but, Uiifortnnatcly. the best home games come dur ir.? the Christmas vacation period, vhen Ihe majority of Undents will be unable to attend. However, that is the only period in which ex tended basketball trips are undertaken, and the only lime -when those teams could appear in the coliseum. With a fine coach, good squad, and exec Init schedule, ihe baskd ball front looks rosy enoiiLh. Now all that is needed is ihe proper fct'udtnt spirit and attitude. STUDENT PULSE Brif. concise contributions pertinent to matters ot Studrnt lif and to the univernty are welcomed by this neip.ipr practice, which excludes all libelous matter nd eert'na! attacks.

TO THE EDITOR: Since the meeiino of ihe hmh school teach ers with the university faculty there have been many opinions expressed that because all edu cation has uoiie and is jjninif vocational ve need more of ihe old liheral. classical educa tion. The educalional instil lit ions of the na tion are lieyiniiiuir )(, -ejilje lh;i1 there rnilsl be more liberal cdm-alicu offered to the slu (leiils and we may expect a movement of this sort in ihe near future. Liberalism is ihe now cry be'-.-itisc specialists have ihouiht only of their field and from lack of unification all ahie (inenls of society have not kept apace mi that there is a distorted society wiih some ncienee fur ahead ami government and reli gion far in the background. The Jiheralists. however, advocate the classical education of the days before modern science. These liher.ilisis fail to see ihe need of a modern liberal education. To be sure. mr classical, cultural (subjects mut fctill be re tained in every curriculum and it would be veil to require all tudent to take a certain limount of thern. hut to advocate them alone would be similar to the advocation of the old musket as a weapon of national defense in the face of the modern artillery of other countries. It is obvious that the only subject which ran five the student a liberal knowledge of causes and cures of present day economic and tov. iTnmental erisfs are those which treat upon the modern day affairs. The .subject of thia type would be social sciences; they are the subjects which must edu cate our students so that a better country can be handed down to their descendants. Present social sciences will have to look more to the present and future. A course in modern day society ills and remedies would be of the high est importance. The liberalists would be of the greatest value if they sel about designing courses of that nature and ceased focusing nil of their attention upon liberal education of vestervear. Elmer Horstman. CONTEMPORARY COMMENT The Bovs Never ltealh Grew Up A familiar and easily recognized person ulily in adult society is the "young man" of 4U or HO, or, for that matter, 100 years, whose friends affectionately, albeit a little grimly, describe as "the boys who just really never grew up." He is distinguished by his uncon trolled and rather elementary sense of humor, find by a complete inability to sense when his witticisms are appropriate and when they are merely tiresome and in bad tasle. It is possible to cope with, to understand, and to bear with 1hese cases of arrested devel opment if they remain isolated and do not bur den too many people. But the horrihle suspi cion is gradually beginning to insinuate itself into many minds that more and more of these individuals are finding their way into a single profession whose opportunities for unchecked am rampant selt expression are appalhner in scope and that is the profession of radio and cinema announcing. It is a maddening experience to sit thru a newsreel in a motion picture theater while a news commentator attempts to reduce the pic torial record of. successively, a speech by the president, a tragic catastrophe, a foreign con flict, and a sport ins scene to the level of a farce with his bland and idiotic levity. Even the grandeur of beautiful scenic pholography must be touched up with such bright little say iiiL's as that which accompanied a breath tak ing view of the Himalayas: ''And there is Mt. Everest, with her eternal plume of cloud, like smoke from a great 'range' (get it?)." ll has been left, however, for announcers in a western radio station to achieve the ulti mate in puerile facetiousness, with their intro ductions of popular music selections: "We will now hear that popular ballad of middle west ern melancholy. St. Bonis Blues." or "We now present for your enjoyment Ihe musical de scription of that little bit of pulchritude in Ver million. The Lady in Red." etc.. etc. 11. as it is rumoreil, touch time is expended j on ihe preparation of scripts for broadcasts and news and other special reels, most of the j coyness and what passes for humor must be j interpolated by the announcer. It s all too bad to have been written down and read twice. Daily Trojan. DR. BALTZLY TO SPEAK ON HOLY LAND TRAVELS Lutheran Christmas Party Will Feature Carols, Gift Exchange.

FIVEMUSIG STUDENTS College World GLIMPSES By Dale Martin. Thoughts of an ex-kins? "Whew! Thai's over. Hope Stan's satisfied. . . Mr. Edward Windsor, eh? . . . Not bad.

His action reassuringly human in a world of iron fisted dictators. He Mill be censured severely, yet is his determination not conceived for urealer cause than that of a Hitler or a -Mussolini.' How tmmy men. yiven the chance lo choose between the yrealesl empire in the world and a woman, would have had the confi dence and the iuiinitit:ated puts lo take his course of action? Yet in the hack of the mind, an insistent voice sayinL'. "He's a fool, he's a foo, lie's a fool. He will lie sorry!" He took his oath knowing all ils restric tions, slated and implied. Ife had known for many years 1hai some day he would be k i tijf . He musl have realized his extreme susceptibil ity to falling in hive wiih "commoners," for he has done so before. 'ircumstances conspired lo force the issue, yet he must have foreseen the difficulties which have arisen. In a sense he has failed his subjects shirked his duty. He is il. He has en joyed the companion ship of many personable ladies. He should now be certain as eerlain as any man can In of bis choice. J!ui anain. that voice. "He's a fool, lie's a fool, he's a fool. He will be sorry." Whatever stand one lakes, however lie looks at the matter, he must feel deeply sym pathetic with Ihe ex-monarch. The uue old l'ieslion of )oe versus duly arises again, cre ating momentous developments and an empire shaking crisis. Hut. perhaps, as .Minister Churchill 's son said. "Von Americans do not understand. V011 understand that you do not understand, don't you?" Sample of journalist's loyie found scat lend about I' hall by the "Dollys" Jlentz and J 'ultoii : Journalists is rats. We is not journalists. Therefore: We is not rats. 'iijarels are a noxious weed. We smoke ciearels. Therefore: "We is noxious weeds. Lew is Cass and Howard Lynch is D. U.'s. All D. U.'s is rats. Therefore: Aw, draw your own conclusions Then they really got personal: Imbeciles is columnists. We is not columnists. Therefore we is not imbeciles. Dale is a columnist. Jalc is a man. Men rtid columnist is ral Therefore Dale is a double rati Uh, rats, Until recently it seemed that the novel idea of a half-blind, totter ing gentleman who died in the Ozarks of Arkansas last spring would pass along with him. He suggested that someone erect a 130-foot-high pyramid, fill it with modern products, and seal it her metically. "This civilization is go ing to the dogs." he said, "and when the year 8113 rolls around, the people can open the pyramid up and see just what was wrong with the people back in 1936." Now Oglethorpe university has adopted the idea. With the coop eration of scientific America it plans to build the pyramid and stock it with everything from a sound film record of greetings from the president of the United States to the citizens of 8113 to samples of present day brands of chewing gum. Before a certain Purdue univer sity professor accepted a bet chat lenge on the outcome of the In diana-Purdue game, sent him by a fellow professor at Indiana uni versity, he dug up statistics show ing that Purdue had won the ma jority of games, he watched the team at practice, and consulted with athletic directors. Feeling sure Purdue would win on the basis of all the substantiation, he mailed his acceptance to the In diana professor. When the game ended in a tie. both professors breathed more easily and re pocketed their respective nickles. Dr. Alfred M. Nielson, professor of economic geography at New York university, has an aversion for chewers of gum. Here is how he classifies them: "There are five types of gum-chewers. First, the type which chews with a gentle, oscillating motion, like a contented cow. Next, the type which chews to the rhythm of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Thirdly, the kind known as the 'railroad chewer.' They produce noises like the 'clickety-clif k' of a train. Then come two types of synchronizers. First, those who synchronize their mouths with their pencils, and, secondly, those who time the move ments of their jaws with the speed of the lecturer." W. A. Mann, University of Texas law student, is sick of hear ing his own voice. We wagered his roommates that he could better the late Hur-y P. Long's filibuster record of 16 hours. When they took him up on his boast, he launched into a non-stop mono logue time and again as lengthy as any that Cornelia Otis Skinner has ever given. Talking on astron omy, religion, polities, economics, his life history and many other things, Mann lasted 36 hours and 10 minutes -10 minutes longer than Long. 300 SINGERS HOLD DRESS REHEARSAL OF ARIA SATURDAY (Continued from Page J.)

University's Choral Union will supply 175 participants in "Elijah" and the ag campus 75 members Other choristers will come from local church choirs and musical or ganizations, with the Greig male choir singing as a unit. Previous to last year Handel's "Messiah" and other standard work, presented largely thru the efforts of Carrie Belle Raymond hall, had been used to relate mu sically the story of the birth of Christ. Desiring a change Profes sor Kirkpatrlck introduced Men delssohn's biblical "Elijah," and the response was spontaneous enough to warrant further presen tation of this masterpiece. Starting at the middle of Sep tember, university organizations, ritv vocalists and the symphony orchestra have been rehearsing their part privately; tomorrow evening they will give the final polish to the entire assemblage be fore the performance Sunday. The decorations appropriate to the Holy season will furnish atmos phere to the coliseum. THOMAS WINS FLRST IN DRAWING CONTEST (Continued from Page 1.) a structure built in the form of a modernistic automatic pistol, with the circular butt of the gun rising to a tower ironically resembling a steeple. Other features of the plan were a combination, art gal lery and arsenal, a zoo next to the kitchen, and an observation room consisting of a swimming pool and baths. The detail showed various artillery and "hot seats," including "newest development in electric chairs from Sing Sing." Robin Smith's drawing, rating First Mention, was in the general shape of a question mark. The "Mention" drawing, by Donald Gerhard, showed plans of a build ing constructed in the form of a machine gun on a tripod. Thomas' drawing is attracting a large number of curious observers in the Department of Architecture library where it will be displayed for a few days. The other draw ings are in the main drafting room. Professor Linus Burr Smith, chairman of the Department of Architecture, welcomed the group; and Paul Rader, president of the Architectural Society, explained the purpose of the organization, and informally introduced the freshmen who were honored guests.
