"George!"
Yes?"
"Instead of you taking me to a
show or, dance tonight, why don't
we do something different?"
"Why sure. What would you
suggest?"
"Well, I think it would be nice
just to sit and talk awhile about
current events, and the Japs,
and the nazis and those Spaniels
who are fighting each other. I
just read the other day that the
university students don't pay
enough attention to what goes
on In the world. It really made
me think, George, and so I
thought maybe we could just
sort of talk things over tonight
and exchange opinions.'
"It's a good idea, hon. Just as
a starter, who do you think Is go
ing to cop the bunting in the
American league? I figure the
Yankees, don't you?"
"Oh, George, be sensible. Let's
talk about important news."
"Okay. D'you think DiMaggio
will reallv hold out 7 He s a
pretty stubborn Italian."
"Oh, those Italians. Isn't it just
too terrible what they did to the
city of Vienna. That Mussolini
must be an awful egotist."
"Yeah, but Hitler treated the
Otheepians just as bad, rcmem
ber?"
"Of course I remember."
"Listen, hon. I don't want to
start an argument but wasn't it
Mussolini who subjugated the
Ethiopians and Hitler that nazi
fled Austria?"
Dabbling in Dictators.
"George, I didn't know you
knew so much. That's the way
it was, of course. Did you see
that, picture of Hitler shaking
hands with Mussolini in Life a
few weeks ago? The one where
Adolf had on a civilian suit and
looked just like a bond sales
man? When I saw that picture
I thought to myself, 'I wonder
what Hitler thought about the
deuce and what the deuce
thought about Adolf when they
shook hands and said glad to
meet you.' Dictators are so
fascinating, aren't they?"
"Yes, they do have arresting
personalities. And they use them
to arrest everybody they suspect
of having such old fashioned
as democracy."
"Isn't U horrib'.e - hat those
Spaniels are doing to each other.
I can't imagine a country where
the people are so narrow-minded
about principles of government
that they kill each other."
"I thought wc had a civil war
once, too."
"Oh, that was different. Say,
isn't it awful the way those sude
ten nazis in Czechoslovakia are
t plaguing the Prague?"
"Terrible, but what can you ex
pect after Hitler had his Reunion
in Vienna? Do you think the
Slovaks can Czech him?"
"Why sure they can. Otherwise
why should they call them the
Balkan States, George. Look at
China, George. Where is It today?
"On the Yangtze and Whang
poo rivers, I thought."
"Silly, I meant as a govern
ment. Those conceited Japanese,
those detrimental Orientals, are
tearing it to bits. Don't you think
the United States should put on
an economic boycott?"
"I would rather see John Bull
In a China shop, myself."
John Bull In A China 'o.
"It's awful, George, the .-ate
the world Is In. Those Japanese
breaking up China, Hitler purg
ing everything but his upper lip,
Mussolini balancing chips on all
shoulders, and Uncle Sam, John
Bull, and La Belle France
walking on tigr : and
fidgety on account of they're
afra.d somebody is going to
push them off."
"You Slid a mouthful, hon."
"All right, George, I've think
we've talked enough for tonight.
Let's go somewhere. But let's do
It again next week. I think we
can afford to spend five minutes
a week just talking things over,
don't you?"

j tombstone of big name in hls
i tory."

academic leaders in U. R. higher
education. Dr. George W. Crane,

gist, begin hi denunciation of
those who teach in modern col

Hoodwinked by Professors.
"For three centuries here in
America we have been hoodwinked
by college professors who harp on
culture. Most of them neither
know what the word means nor
demonstrate cultured personali
ties," he continues.
"Instead of leaching the In
dent to be the life of the party,"
f'r. Crane continued, "most pro
the past there have been many
occasions in which one person has
been president of several organiza
tions anu active in so many oincrs drawn by a
that he has almost run the whole I special student
activity setup. The organizations I conned rommit
would be run better if their leaders , tee, will be sub
had the time to devote their pri- j mitted for an
mary interests to one activity, airing and rtis-
i nis would give more people a
chance to get someplace in or
ganizations and would serve as a
stimulus for the members to work
harder for the group."
Bill Clayton, editor of the
Cornhusker, states that the critical
time for a men's point system
would be in the first year that it
was established: "I am in favor of
the plan providing that it is
worked out in detail. The first
year will be the most difficult,
for the men in activities will not
be used to it and may resent the
limitations. If all the faults are
smoothed out during the first year,
it is bound to be very successful."

vision for an activities board made
up of tiie presidents of the more
important men's organizations,
and a system which puts activity
in organizations on a point basis
and limits the amount of extra-
eurricular work that one student
may carry.
The plan for a point system for
men has not been drawn up on
the spur of the moment. It is the
result of several months of work
and investigation on the part of
the student council, assisted by
suggestions from other schools, by
leaders in various organization
on the Nebraska campus, by a
committee from the Innocents
society, and by advice tendered by
members of the faculty.
Innocents and members of the
councd judiciary committee have
voiced Iheir approval of the con
stitution and by-laws. The evalua
tion of the different activities and
Low
the place given each in the system,
ever, has not yet gone by the
committee.
Men students who have sugges
tions for the improvement of this
constitution or the evaluation of
points will have a chance to pre
sent these to the student council
at an open meeting Wednesday at
5 o'clock in U hall, room 106 of

A trow iis belief that the
present set-up of men's activities
with no limitations on the number

and the organizations, necessitates
the forming of some point system
