PAGE TWO THE DAILY NEBRASKAN, TUESDAY. MARCH 15. 1938 NEWS PARADE Morore Churchill 'U1751N ShucknL (pid&SL IT LOOKS LIKE A PUSIIOYEIt, BUT Wild enthusiasm reigns in Vi enna streets as frenzied throngs greet the new ruler triumphant, Adolph H'Uer, who shouts to the more than 100,000 hysterical fol lowers thronging the square be fore his hotel, "The German reich is inviolable; no one can shatter it!" Through a city swarming with hundreds of thousands of cheering Austrians, der fuehrer is driven in jubilant procession "in the crown ing act of his consolidation of the German empire from the Baltic to the Italian border." But there were those who did not rejoice. Within the city some 100,000 Jews lie in terror and appeal frantically to the Polish and other consulates for visas permitting them to leave the country. Their business are seized, and, within the space of three days anti-Semitic edicts are passed which equal those which took Hitler three years to effect in Germany. "Church bells pealed for a quar ter hour from the time der fuehrer crossed the city limits." But there were those to whom the irony of the church bells was only too apparent. Throughout the land Catholics met the inevitable with an air of resignation. Socalists were hopeless. "Factories, their staffs working at top speed, could not turn out enough nazi emblems to meet the demand." But the nazi imblems were worn by official order by every "Aryan" who could procure one. Austrians rejoiced but what percentage by official decree? Premier Mussolini gives Kitler his personal assurance of Italian friendship. Italians are suddenly forced by decree to alter their thinking from a guarantee of Au strian independence to endorse jrent of Austro-German union. But Rome eyes with anxiety the extension oi the Hitler re gime to the Brenner pass, the very gateway to Italy. Rome is already growing cautious over further nazi moves in central Europe, and will resort to Italo British collaboration before per mitting further nazi encroach ments in Europe. For Italy, too, could use some of the lead, graphite, magnesium, and cop per resources which der fuehrer has taken without resistance. It looks like a push-over But Czechoslovakia, wedged In the midst of the new all powerful" German reich, is ready to fight at the first sign of encroachment on Czechoslo vakian soil. And, while Czecho slovakia would be only another Belg'um before a wave of Ger man military strength, vast French and Britifh rearmament programs cannot vorever be cast aside. There was not so long ago another "Fuehrer" who, the German people will remember, also shouted, "We are inviol able! No power on earth can stop us!" A Reply To Otlo Woerner To the Editor: I am a Greek: One facetiously described as a biological accident, one who welches off his parents, squanders his money, drives a fancy car, bluffs his way thru law college by rending fraternity exam files between times of haunting formals and hotel rooms, frequents beer parlors every night, and can't enjoy riding on a street car or smoking anything less than a pipe. Actually, as a very average Greek. I resent the above descrip tion. True,, this may well be said of some Greeks: A very small mi nority I am glad to sav. Similarly, the same might be applied to a minority of barbs and even air. Woerner must grant this. Writing from the standpoint of one fraternity, here are some (vital) statistics, and a general examination of other fraternities yields approximately the same re sults. Ours is a chapter of 50 men and out of this number, 28 men are either working their way partly or in the whole. Out of these 28, 18, of which 10 are mak 11 of their own expenses, are 'iing at the present time. The J i ten of the 28 worked prior iu coming to school and are now going mainly on money earned during that time. I must explain that these figures do not include those working during the summer. Can Mr. Woerner persist in saying, then, that fraternity men were born with the proverbial silver insult to try to instnict htm in them. . In conclusion, I would like to remind Mr. Woerner that he owes me a free ticket to the Liberty theater. . , Fawningly, J. R. Ivins. Vera Mae Yinger Scores Hit As Queen Elizabeth (Continued from Page 1.) completed." The snake-in-the-grass, air rwu ert Cecil, was played by Robert, Johnston. His part deserves no comment other than Johnston made a pood weasel. Armand Hunter in the role of Sir Walter Raleigh shone as long as he wore his silver armor. Hart Jenks continued his usual style and gave a good perform ance of Francis Bacon, and Claud ine Burt outdid herself in the role of Penelope. Changing from her usual role of the practical secre tary, Miss Burt flitted about the stage, bowed jerkily, smiled arch ly, and displayed an enchanting schoolgirl love toward Essex. Best shot of the production was Queen Elizabeth cheating at cards with Essex while she was telling him of her love. Customary break was the stumble of a guard as he sedately marched down the steps. Otherwise the guard.; were good guards and did not move a facial muscle the entire three hours. A 'if ? t W If 1' t I 1 .- - .; - . . ..af.

It surprises me that anyone of Mr. Woerner's intelligence could possibly interpret (vital) statistics as he has done. True. Greeks com pose only 30 percent of the stu dent body, and further they hold SO percent of the rag publications staff positions. However, as a member of the publications board. I must remind the reader, that SO percent of the applicants for these positions are Greeks; and, in ad dition, that the slur on those who make such appointments will be very much resented by some of th finest members of the university faculty who sit on the board. Al tho I doubt the statement that Greeks make up only 5 percent of the university uc-bate squads, ex amination will show that such per centage, whatever it may be, is in propoition to the number who compete in the tryouts. That Greeks comprise half of the ath letic personnel is not to be denied and I have never heard complaint of the high standing of our univer sity in its athletic relations. On the point of scholastic achieve ments we cannot doubt that the greatly multiplied activities and extra-curricular woik tend to place the Greeks as a whole only on or around the all university av erage; and yet they are not de terred in developing Rhodes scholars two in the past three years and in placing men in high positions in other fields of scholastic achievement. Social Advantage. Mr. Woerner states that there are no fraternities or sororities in Gerrr.any because Germany will not tolerate loafing students nor "ignoramuses." I should like to re mind Mr. Woerner that Germany also looks with distaste on higher education (aside from military training i because of the threat therein to the dictatorial policies of the government. Need I pay more ? It would I appropriate to end this letter with an enumeration of the social advantage of fraterni ties (and in a social world these are advantages) or the ben-fits of contacting and learning to meet people; but Mr. Woerner, with h.is intolerant and self righteous atti tude, no doubt, now fully enjoys these benefits and it would be an said Mr. Curry, "illustrates the way I liked to plow corn when I was a boy." As the artist showed a self por trait hurriedly, he wisecracked. "This is the old master." Curry, born ih Kansas, is one of the three great painters of the midwest along with Thomas Ben ton and Grant Wood. "Tornado in Kansas" and "The Stallion" are two of the more recent paintings by the artist. "Reality," he says, "is the basis of all good painting. reality in form and life. I want to paint real people, real cattle and real corn." The artist is now connected with the University of Wisconsin where he paints livestock in the college's corrals, sketches of the football men in action, inspires Wisconsin artists and lends the university cultural prestige. The University of Colorado next fall will offer a two year course for the 53 percent who spend only that amount of time in college. 11 IK IT! MALE NUDE; FOKM AND SYMMETRY Since man received his first les son in art and civilization, it has been almost certain taboo for him to look upon the female Nude In its real physical aspects. Its all right for the averr.gc layman to gaze artfully "Pn beautiful work of sculptury, but civiliza tions rules have more oi interpreted by the universe's great judges to allow him to go only Uiat i HI. The department of fine arts on this campus is having its field day this week, then. There is no doubt but what the classes of sculptural education will be more fully discussed than at any other time during the entire year. This is the week that the unapprcciative, average student looks to the fine arts department and says: "I sure wish I could be over there this week." It i the common joking request of most every student of sculpture in most every organized house tha'. he take a friend to class with him. For this is the week of the female Nude! And it's real too! THE FIRST ROW GAZERS. Because good society rules against rich piactices, and be cause of certain psychological ana physiological effects, man, women included, like to gaze upon the fe male Nude. As a result, they spend much of their hard earned (or fed erally eranted) money to support thousands of burlesque queens who made the dubious beauty of their bodv their livelihood. But only a few of the spectators realize or appreciate the art of form, bal ance, symmetry, or harmony.
