The Purpose of the
Union Is Union
Editor: Po you love the university?
Avowee Student: What university?
Ed: Why this one. You know the cam
pus, the huildinps I suppose, the old place,
your alma nintcr, where you went to school
with vour friends. Do vou have anv affection
for it ?
Av. Stud: I don't know. 1 never thouaht
much about it.
Ed: What are you studying here?
Av. Stud: Engineering.
Ed : J)o you have any feeling for the enjri
tieerinir college?
Av. Stud: Yes, I think so.
Ed: Rut that professional loyalty does not
Include the university?
Av. Stud: No, I never think much about
the university.
Ed: How about when you pay your fees?
Av. Stud: Oh. that's an affliction I have
to bear with, but it doesn't make me love the
university.
Ed: Do you think other students feel as
you do about the university? There are over
6.00 studcMs here, all in different colleges.
"When someone says "University of Nebras
ka" to them, do thev think "Art's college," or
"Law colWe." or "Asr eolleue?"
Av. Stud: I should say tjint most of them
think of the football prospects for the past,
present, or future season when they hear "Uni
versity of Nebraska.'
Ed: What's the deal on this school spirit
that attaches to football? Does anyone build
up a real affection and loyalty for a univer
sity because of its football team?
Av. Stud: Sure. The kids all want the
team to win. Sometimes thousands of them
are molded into one in the enthusiasm over
winning a enme. They really thrill to "There
is no place like Nebraska" and "Scarlet and
Cream."
Ed: But that's .iust the popular notion of
school spirit, isn't it? That's really just foot
ball spirit. Docs anyone love the university,
or develop a loyalty for it. or retain a warm
feeling of comradeship with fellow students
because of the football team?
Av. Stud : Hell, I don t know. What 's the
difference? What is the university anyway
Where can you tout-li it. unless you go over to
the finance office? Who cares if 1 love it
filter all ?
Ed : Not so fast. What would vou say if
someone asked you where you went to school?
Av. Stud: Are you being funny? Or do
you mean I sound as if I never went to school,
or spent all my time at the "Moon, or what!

colonies. It is a mark of power.
"Many German seem to feel iE
ferior because Germany has no
colonies."
English Opposed.
As to Eiigland's probable reac
tion to return of the colonies,
Prof. Kellman stated that while
in England he hud heard English
men declare "We wouldn't give up
one inch of land, even if it were
desert." The English do not wish
to give the impression that their
empire is falling; they want to
hold it together.
The Japanese, who received
German Pacific islands north of
the equator, wouldn't give them
up, was Fellman's opinion. Since
the war they have been fortifying
them. Due to Japan's present
close alliance with Germany, how
ever, it is improbable that Ger
many would demand that Japan
return the ones she received.
"How far will Italy support
Germany in her demand for col
onic? I can't answer that ques
tion, but it soems to me that fun
damentally the alliance between
Germany and Italy is unsound.
The mere fact that they are both
fascist and have dictators does not
mean that they are natural allies.
Italy and Germany have too many
fundamental points of disagree
ment Take, for Instance, the
question of German annexation of
Austria. It would be disastrous
for Italy to have a powerful Ger
many pressing directly upon her
northern frontier. In the war,
Italy fought to break up the great I
nation to the north and Germany
is much more powerful than the
old tottering Austrian empire. If
Germany pot Austria the chief Je
suit of the war would go for
nought."
Balkan Problem Intervenes.
Fundamental commercial and
political dibagreements in the Bal
kan peninsula also separate the
two fascist nations.. The Italian

Ed: No. I'm serious. Something like this
on a train or with a stranger. He asks, "Col
lege man?" You say, "Yes." Then he says.
"Where did you go to school?" What would
you say!
Av. Stud: University of Nebraska.
Ed: The stranger says, "Did you like it?"
Av. Stud: Well, I sav, "Sure. Nebraska's
o. k." So what?
Ed : My point is that you are much hap
pier at the University of Nebraska if you
like it. That is, if you love the university,
you will enjoy going to school. And it is
vtry important to the university that you
develop and retain some affection for her.
If all the graduates of N. U. in the state of
Nebraska had a feeling of affection for their
alma mater, she would have more support in
the legislature. There wouldn't be an im
perative need for nine buildings on the city
campus alone. There would be a few endow
ments from alumni for research, professor
ships, and so on.
Av. Stud: All right. I'm supposed to love
the university so I'll enjoy my school life and
do a little something in return. I don't. What
is the solution? How do I get this warm
feeling?
Ed: The Union building.
Av. Stud: Go ahead.
Ed: Well, I've been thinking about the
Union a good deal this week. About 30 people
have expressed opinions on it in the Nebras
kan, but nobody quite hit the nail on the head.
The idea behind a Union building is union.
When there were just a few colleges and a few
students on the campus everyone knew every
one else. The university was these people liv
ing in more or less close friendship, studying
and working together. But when the institu
tion expanded, the social intercourse that was
a part of the educational process disintegrated.
Fraternities, sororities, cliques, clubs, and
croups became so numerous that most mem
bers of the university forgot what the univer
sity was.
The Union is being built to house the
social intercourse of the university under
one roof. The students can eat there, lounge
and coke there, read there for fun, and en
gage in the supposedly personality building
activities there. The Union students from
all colleges and other organizations will meet
there. The Union will become a kind of
symbol of the university. To it will attach
that warm feeling so important to the student
and to the university.
In the words of Glenn Frank the Union
will be to the university the dining room that
makes the house of learning the home of
learning.
Av. Stud : I agree.

in Europe today." To further sup
port his contention that an auto
cratic form of government is a
perfectly, possible development in
this country, the speaker pointed
out various instances of suppres
sion of freedom of speech.
"In Kentucky," he said, "a man

states btlieve about evolution. In
Michigan the Black Legion makes

Entered aa econd-ciaaa matter at the

act ot consrt.ii. March 3. 1879, and at
taught in the schools. California
teachers must not teach about the
Boston tea party and other muted
points in history," the economist
declared facetiously.
All these things taken sparately :
seem insignificant Dr. Foster sa(d, j
but he contended that they take on
a vast significance when viewed j
collectively. Freedom of speech is ;
too often taken as a matter of j
course, he declared. He pointed out
to his audience that he could say
anything he pleased and yet would
not be thrown in jail or punished
in any way.
Half World Muzzled.
"And yet," he said, "outside the
United States, fully half the world
is muzzled. Twenty years ago we
fought, as we thought, to make the
world safe for democracy, but to
day, in half the world, democracy
is not safe it is dead."
Either you are going to have
freedom or you are not going
to have it, Dr. Foster maintained.
There are no halfway measures.
"We must demand and secure
freedom of speech even for those
who seek to do away with free
dom of speech. Once we start to
prevent any individual from say
ing that he considers the truth,
we do not know how far it will
go." In this connection he cited
the repression of communistic
speeches and teachings in this
country as ridiculous. "When you
make a martyr out of man you
give him an audience."
Not Room for Einstein, Hitler.
"There Is not room in the same
country for an Einstein and a Hit
ler," Dor Foster declared. "Truth
is not discovered by mass action,
but by genius, and there is no
place for genius in an autocracy."
In the latter part of his address
Dr. Foster said that we are now
headed for another business de
pression. "Nothing has been an
nounced by the federal government
which leads us to hope that the
necessary steps will be taken to
prevent another crash. They are
plenty of men who know what to
do to remedy the situation, and
the steps can still be taken. Fray
God they will be taken."
First Line of Defense.
He warned that if another eco
nomic depression comes, throwing
millions out of work, it will set the
stage for a dictator .ip. Millions
will be put in a situation where
they have nothing to lose, and
then revolution will not be far off.
"The first line of defense against
dictatorship is the solution of eco
nomic problems with which we are
faced." he said. Xo dictatorship
has ever yet come into power in
a country where the people are
prosperous, and the most prosper
ous people in the world are those
living under the freedom of
democracy. Even if autocracy
could bring a higher standard of
living, it is too high a price to pay
for it; for, under a dictator, you
lose the integrity of your own
mind and soul."

In the Bill of Rights, the Amer
ican people were granted the free
dom of speech, the right to believe,
think, and say just what they
please, within the libel laws.
This "unalienable right" was
granted a matter of a century and
a half ago. Today, we find freedom
of speech in total eclipse in nearly
half of the world. In Germany,
Herr Goebels heads the "Ministry
of Propaganda and Public En
lightenment" and incidentally does
all the free speaking for the Ger
man people. In Italy, the hardy
few who speak up against Musso
lini just don't do it more than once.
The 6ame is true in Russia. Japan,
Austria, Hungary, Jugoslavia, and
many other countries.
Has it outlived its usefulness?
What is your opinion of freedom
of speech in this country today 7
Bob Brust, Bizad sophomore:
"Altho it's granted in the con
stitution, it doesn't seem to be very
prevalent at this time. At least it
isn't as it was in the colonial
period.
"In politics, for example, the
bosses control the parties, the
candidates are the mouthpieces of
the bosses; so anv freedom of
speech that they may have is
abridged by the party leaders. The
same thing is true in the case of
newspapers the editor merely
voices the opinions of the board
of directors.
"However, we're a lot better off
than are the people in Germany,
Russia, and Italy."
Jack Pinion, Bizad senior:
"I feel that we have real free
dom of speech in this country.
Witness the radio speakers of the
past few weeks Hoover, Farley,
and Johnson batting back and
forth.
"To me, the best indication of
the presence of free speech is the
fact that a man can knock the

"Our freedom of speech seems
to be dominated to a certain ex
tent by the commercial interests
of this country. On the whole, how

our views to a greater extent than
in any otner country in me .

important things which made pos

"We have freedom of speech to

a nprsnn as an indivdual may
believe and say just about what he
likes. A newspaper retains inav
same privilege, but it is censored
by the wishes of its advertisers and
readers. In the case of the teacher,
freedom of speech is curtailed. He
is restricted by community beliefs,
the constitution, and the prejudices
of those around him.
"In spite of our faults, we are
better off than are the people in
Germany and Russia, where in

Harry Blocker, Bizad freshman:
"We have freedom of speech in

comes out with ideas which are
