PAGE TO O THE DAILY KERRASKAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 197 Letters on the Union: Why. What For For More Human Humans To the Editor: You ask me if I believe the Union valu able, and if I do, why. Personally I believe that the social side of college life as distinct from its intellectual side is much over-valued, either when praised hypocritically as a preparation for life, or, more sincerely, as an object in itself. Yet in spite of believing that it is over-valued, I still believe that it has a very Intra value. If the Union is less needed than a library, as I be lieve, it is still needed as a medium for stu dent social life. In particular, I value it as a means of the unorganized social life, personal, spontaneous, casual, based on individual eon tacts rather than on recognized student activi ties. I am suspicious of organized social life, in "activities," because I think that it is artificial and does little for the main pur pose of all social life, the communication of one human being with another as an indi vidual. The Union will give a better place and means for this, and if it does so, it will help increase the pleasures of college life and make human beings more human than they otherwise would be. These are perfectly legitimate purposes. Thomas M. Raysor. Both Sides of The Educational Picture To the Editor: Nebraska is to have a Student Union building. Nebraska may need a library, it may need other new buildings, but it also needed a Union building, and this Nebraska is to have. One recognizes the worth of theoretical teachings, but one also realizes that life is more than a round of purely cultural achieve ments, to which some would limit the Uni versity. From the practical viewpoint we must acknowledge that the majority of registrants in any college are not in school because of any avid, irrepressible desire to read Flato, or to learn of the means of measuring auditory acuity, etc., but because they were at a loss to find anything better to do. If practical ex perience is not available then we must rely upon theoretical promise, and so we find stu dents flocking to the nearest scholastic center. Life has a social as well as a cultural side. The ability to meet with people, to make one's own decisions, to accept re sponsibility cannot be taught by lectures or by assigned reading, but can be developed only thru experience and practice. This the University has admitted in its recognition of the extra-curricular activities of the school With all of the buildings here de voted to cultural and theoretical teachings, why bemoan the existence of one building, the new Union, designed to round out the extra-curricular and more practical side of University life. "You can lead a horse to water, but you can t force him to drink" is - an old adage, but appropriate. Have you ever thought how dull, uninteresting, and impractical would be a life devoted solely to cultural attainment? As a former student at the University of Nebraska, who last year attended another and larger educational institution in the mid-west. I was particularly impressed with the work of the Union on that campus. It was the focal point for campus affairs. The scholastic hon- oranes met there, a comfortable browsing room was available to all, and it also made possible a gayer, more unified, social life for all students under student direction. My only answer to II. J. 11. (writer of "Let 'em eat cake" pulse) is that the student assessment and student donation have, and are, making possible the Union. The student body is taking care of its extra-curricular de velopment, and the responsibility lies squarely upon the students. You, II. J. M., and the rest like you can best accomplish your aims for the further development of the cultural side of student life by seeing that the University gets such other buildings as are needed. Doth sides of scholastic life, the curricular and the extra-curricular, must be recognized. The students have accepted the responsibility for the Union building and its emphasis on the extra-curricular. Nebraska still needs other buildings. Work for them, not against the al most realized goal of the majority of the stu dents. B. P. A Haven for Grads Dear Editor: In the October issue of the Alumnus. Ray Ramsay tells the heart-rendering story of the old-grad who returns to his alma mater after many years out in the world where he has col lected a semblance of economic security, a wife, and children. The old-grad is proud of his school, wants to show it off to his family. But alas. He wanders about the campus in vain. Gone are the friends he once knew so well. Gone are those favorite professors. Gone are many of the familiar landmarks of his school days. The man was a Barb dur ing his undergraduate years, and thus there is for him no fraternal rejoicing upon his re turn to his temple of learning. It is a sad dened and disillusioned alumnus whom Eamsay discovers, and to whom he extends the glad hand of welcome. Now Mr. Ramsay draws a moral. The Student Union, he says, will prevent the re currence of such sad scenes. While in school the student will spend much of his leisure time in the Union. It will be in the Union lobbies and game-iooms that he meets and makes friendships with his fellows. For the Barbs especially will the Union be valuable, since it will provide them with many of the social and fraternal advantages which only Greek letter societies now provide. Hereafter when the alumni return, they will come back to their first love, the student union. But you err, Mr. Ramsay, in predictins that the situation for home-coming grads will be all changed. Those friends he once knew so well still be gone. Many of those same profes sors who helped and influence him will have departed for richer and more promising fields. To take their places, what is the old-grad of fered! A mob of callous, cakinsr, cigarette puffing imbeciles; loungers, flirters, game sters. What do they care for the antedated alumni who conies back! What does the stu dent of another generation care for those of the present! ( There's going to be a miehly fine alumni secretary's office on second floor, though darned if there isn't. F. H.

Not the Balkan people but the big foreign powers make for conflict." Student sentiment in Greece is strongly opposed to war, according to Dr. White, altho there is no strong move towards pacifism and no objection to the year of military service exacted by Greece of all her young men. "American stu dents know very little about the war," Dr. White said. "You didn't get much of it in the states just some back seat driving." Qjv Uisl CWl tir, &2 mm 1 1 tan tt Kim 1111 rstws PARADE ty . ri BY ELWOOD RANDOL. Jimmy Monahnn, a Postal Tele graph messenger, was faced with one of the strangest and most un usual assignments in the history of the company. His office received a wire requesting that a messen ger deliver a kiss to the girl re ceiving the telegram. Jimmy, as signed to deliver the message, rode to the addressee's home, knocked on the door, and when the person in question appeared he said, "Happy Birthday from Jimmy," put his arms around the surprised young lady and kissed her. It seems that the sender's name was Jimmy too. Tonight, Jimmy will appear in person on We, the Peo ple, but precaution will be taken so that he doesn t revert to type like a fire horse and go on an other kissing assignment. Others on the show which is heard over KFAB at 6:30 include Gen. Pepino Garibaldi, adventurer, soldier of fortune, and son of the Italian liberator; and the fastest talking woman in the Vniled States. In srenes from "Ned McCobb's Daughter" will be Burgess Mere dith and Margalo Gilmore, guests of Kate Smith this evening at 7. Meredith has played in "Winter set," and "High Tor," and is now playing with Lillian Gish in "The Star Wagon." .Miss Gilmore is an English born actress and starred in "The Women." "The Barretts of Wimpole Street," "Berkeley Square," and "Ned Mc Cobb's Daughter." The program is France Having Parental Woes. France's troubles are not de creased by the situation in her norhern Africa colony of French Morocco. French troops are em ployed to stamp out Arab nation alist disorders believed to be a part of a plot to overthrow French rule. The situation in the French colo nies make it certain that France will brook no interference in her M e d i t e rranean communication from Italy or any other country. Vessels already dispatched into the vicinity of the Balearic islands are indicative of France's intent to stop attacks on her Mediterran ean shipping whether activities of the non-intervention committee get under way or not. Hope Rising for Oriental Peace. Shanghai is quiet after one of the worst bombardments of the Sino-Japanese war. The Chinese "dare to die" battalion emerges at last from their stronghold in two barricaded warehouses across Soo chow creek from the international settlement. With British and American aid, all members of the "suicide squadron" make their way to the British area of the set tlement. An unofficial group of highly placed Japanese charges Britain with helping China and warns that Anglo-Japanese diplomatic rcUv tions may be broken if this con tinues. Britain is accused of be ing "the main driving force in the proposed nine power conference, apparently to start intervention. mat japan win undertake any drastic move, however, is unlikely. Indications are that both Japan and China are ready to discuss peace. Fear of international inter vention following the Shanghai killings probably play a big part japan s altered position.

Is the stu dent boily a group of law break ers? No! The source of this ' wave of crime'' is lack of available parking space. These tickets and their source are one of the more serious prob lems of campus life. A. student who has a class later than 8 a. m. must hunt for some time before being able to park, many times even be ing late to class. At best there are not enough parking spaces. The work on the curbs may be necessary but why wait until school opens to do it? This complicates the parking sit uation greatly because many stalls are closed. However, parking conditions could be relieved to some extent by installing 30-degiee-angle park ing on Twelfth and Fourteenth streets. These streets are wide enough and there is no reason why we must have parallel parking on them. For a relatively small sum the streets on the campus could be marked for 30 degree parking. It would eliminate some of the parking in the middle of the street. A large number of Sergeant Reg Ier's daily parking tickets might not be necessary. I would li"'.e to suggest that he might give a few of those tickets to the dumb-bells who 'insist on taking up two stalls. M. C.

THURSDAY: The depleted nine power conierence OeJegrvon takes the stage for settlement of the Sino-Japanese conflirt but there are plenty of chances for slip-ups and mistaken cues in the entangled international setup. Peace negotiations efforts of the two major labor unions show no signs of bringing an end to labor's long war. AKL delegates, recover ing from CIO's astounding de mands for a self governing CIO unit within the parent organiza tion and for organization of work ers in mass production, come back with a demand for complete disso lution of CIO and return of orig inal rebel unions to the fold. Basically different in type of or ganization, both unions are ada mant on the stands taken for peace terms. Chance for peace are slight, though both unions are aware of the dangers from recalci trant employers in the event of a permanent fplit. and both realize the tremendous advantage of n united labor front in securing labor's need. Again Buildings; This Time the Temple TO THE EDITOR: Tuesday the music-loving stu dents of the university received a gem in a very crude setting. The gem was the recital presented by Mr. Lantz and Mr. Harrison. The i setting was Temple theater audi- 'torium. Overheated and undcrven- tilated, the auditorium would have made a better place to fall asleep than to enjoy the program being presented. (As a matter of faet. that's nearly what I didi. Had it not been for the fact that the pro gram was very interesting, there would have been, in all probability, more than a few slumbering stu dents. The decorations which adorn the walls of the theater do not add to one's enjoyment of whatever is go ing on. There is a notice to the ef fect that the murals were done by a fine arts class of 1934, but how that work was classed as art is beyond me. I know several hih school students who can make far better sketches. Why can't we have decent places in which to enjoy our pro grams?
