Pence policies which might be maintained
in the United Slates during a period of severe
turmoil in the European countries will come to
the fore this week when Paul Harris, director
of the peace action department of the national
peace council visits Lincoln. AVith the Lincoln
peace couneil making renewed efforts to build
up the dominion of peace, it might be well to
Rtop for a bit of reflection ourselves, even at
the expense of a "caking" hour or n game of
bridge.
Merely saying "we are on the threshold
of another great international crisis" has
been earmarked as a trite expression since
the time when Herr Hitler and Duce Mus
solini, copresidents of the Dictator Associa
tion of the World, assumed power and de
cided respectively that the Nordic race is
superior to all others and that the Mediter
ranean should be a "Roman lake" as in the
days of Italy "s predecessors. Whether these
be disguises for other aims and whither such
masquerades may lead have, until the past
week, been sweet and juicy kernels of con
jecture for radio commentators and news
paper writers to generalize upon.
But at. this point, it. is definite that gen
eralizations pertaining to the strained Euro
pean situation must be narrowed, tho opinion

What They Can Do
The critical public, which constantly sits in
judgment on the product of modern education,
expects from a college graduate the ability to
do certain things which will mark him as an
efficient and well trained individual. This does
not mean that men or women, to be thought of
as "educated," must have specialized techni
cal or professional training, desirable as that
may be from a practical point of view. It
means rather that there are certain fundamen
tal abilities, more or less common to all in
varying degrees of proficiency, which have
been accepted as important indexes of culture.
There are seven of these basic skills: Abil
ity to write clearly and correctly ; ability to
speak clearly and correctly with pleasing and
effective quality of voice; ability to assimilate

PROM COMMITTEE
AND EFFICIENCY
The Junior-Senior prom commit
tee deserves a bowl of orchids for
the work which they have already
done. And by the time that their
flinjr Is over Friday night, they
will be able to purchase a Flanders
Field full of orchids. Student co
operation and efficiency, which has
been lacking in most student func
tions and enterprises during the
past few years, will make the
prom of 1938 something a little
bigger and better.
The most Important thing that
the committee was forced to do
was to arouse Interest. They had
to get publicity and they had to
get a good orchestra. From what
we can learn they have done
both. The Junior-Senior prom,
then, will go down in the ledgers,
on the credit tide, with a sole
companion the Military ball.
MONEY LOSERS.
Dances sponsored in the coll
Bcum this year have been of the
usual calibre. The Innocents, you
will remember, were atoney-eyed

wonder If that loose change which
they had in their pockets would
have to be spent on making up the
deficit.

nity ball. But, like In the past
few years, the Inter-Greek af
fair didn't arouse enough Interest
to fill the coffers above the
splash-out and money making
mark. And eo, the money which
several hundred freshman rush
ees paid when they filed their
rush cards the same money
that the Interfraternity con
stitution provides should be re
funded to the fraternities will
be used to make up the deficit.
But In both these afalrs the tack
of success cannot be laid at the
door of inefficiency tho some
can nor can It be laid to thres
hold of advertising. Student In
terest and a good orchestra are
the essentials .of a successful
party financially.
GREAT INTEREST.
It is In this capacity that the
Junior-Senior prom committee has
performed its task. The biggest
thing that It could possibly con
ceive takes place today. When the
prom committee thought of choos
ing their prom girl by a general
election, they did something that
ranks this year's affair with the
Military ball as far as interest
goes.
The names of seven girls, all
beautiful and of the Nebraska
"white spot" type, will appear on
the ballots. And seven score
other women will be at the polls
to see that you vote In accord
ance with their way of think
ing. And only those that don't
vote today will be the ones who
received a good case of Indiges

we're rating th- Junior-Senior

ated premises and conclusions are certain to lie
multiplied at least for the present.
Regardless of the paths to be eventually
followed by either the nazis or fascists, we
should remind ourselves of the excellent op
portunity offered for war propaganda to be
gin breeding, spreading and infesting even
intelligent minds which have been gradually
narrowed and tempered by catch words and
slogans. No better an example demonstrates
the feasibility of such a cankerous plan than
the period previous to the United States'
entrance into the World war, when the ma
jority of Americans depicted every German
soldier of fortune.
The forcefulness of this universal attitude
in the United States demanded the prewar res
ignation of n university professor who Refused
to fall under the sway of public opinion and
who decried against the United States going
war; after these many years, "jistie" was
finally ladled out during Ihe recent past when
the guilty "prof" was given a total human
vindication and reimbursed financially. This
kind of "justice" indicates that the dissent
ing professor's words might have been ampli
fied rather than restrained in the pursuance of
"freedom of speech" versus propaganda.
"With the choking dust clouds of World
war propaganda at our backs and with the
present events leading down the same marked
trail as that preceding the World war, pre
pared minds will be cognizant of the danger
signals and able to evaluate true and false
propaganda if there be a possibility for the
former.
ideas effectively thru reading, and thru listen
ing; ability to handle oneself efficiently and
gracefully in tasks that require muscular co
ordination; quantitative thinking, ability to
make judgments in problem situations on the
basis of comparative values involved.
Education sorely needs a content which
will function effectually in meeting the de
mands which life makes upon those who pass
thru college into after college experience under
the illusion that they are prepared for success
ful living. In general, the knowledge factors
of the content courses have failed to supply
this need. No matter what rationalized de
fense the college may make for its traditional
curriculum, life will continue to judge the col
lege product more sternly in terms of what it
can do than of what it knows. An article by
Roy Ivan Johnson in The Journal of Higher
Education.

FOILED AGAIN!
Nazis get set for a march on
Vienna. But the march falls to
come thru. Quick action of the
army at Graz, stronghold of Aus
trian nazis, nips the plan in the
bud and shows to Cerman nazis
that Schuschnigg is not so "fin
ished" as they believed. And to
there is a two day armistice be
tween the nazis and the govern
ment forces.
Schuschnigg is finding that he
has let himself in for a dangerous
situation. It seems he can't take
a few nazis to hia governmental
bosom without the whole family
and all the in-laws' coming troop
ing in to take over the establish
