World Poker,
Czech Stake
Possibilities of a wnr in Europe have been
narrowly averted for the time being: with
Czechoslovakia's official "yes-no" agreement
to German demands. The Czechs were "recom
mended" to see the light by peace-desiring
.England and France.
' What else could the Czechs do but back
down on their war threat? It would be sheer
suicide for them to buck powerful Germany.
The worst is yet to come. Each news report
from the disputed Sudeten districts recites
more and fiercer border clashes. Any one of
these may be the spark that will set the war
machinery in gear.
The statesmen of Europe are sitting down
for a game of diplomatic poker. Powder kegs
are their seats. They are playing for table
states Czechoslovakia w h i c b. if Germany
wins, will make a "full house" for the militant
Nazis. But will Germany stop with this? Over
what country will the Germans next want to
establish a "protectorate"" In short, when will
these bloodless annexations stop"
The Freshman Oath
Tradition is the reason 11 o'clock classes
are being dismissed this morning for the class
of '42. The tradition of taking the Cornhusker
Oath is one that the University should never
permit to die. It accomplishes its purpose when
a new crop of freshmen learn the various songs
and yells of the Cornhuskers.
This is not necessarily "rah-rah" col
lcgiana. Some one must be on the sidelines.
We do not exhort them to yell their lungs out.
1C they want 1o cheer, let thein cheer. It is
nothing but a part but an essential one of
what we call school spirit.
The various school spirit and service or
ganizations Innocents society, Motnr Board
society, Tassels, Corn Cobs. Alpha Phi Omega
are entrusted to carry on the University's
traditions. The freshman oath is the first in
chronological importance. If it is accepted in
the spirit, in which it is given, lhc class of '42
v ill be well m its way.
Clippings
The Cornhusker' success. Major
Biff Jones writes, likely will de
pend on whether the three regu
lars from last year receive suf
ficient support from the upcoming
novices. He continues:
"All the publicity, starting: with
last spring's practice, has been
very much on the bubbly side be
cause of our freshman (sopho
more now) backfield. Because it
Is always expected of a coach to
low-rate his prospects, it has been
almost hopeless for me to point
out the lack of sharpness and pol
ish In kicking and passing, as well
as in the fine points of timing on
.pinning, cutting and blocking
"It is invariably novelty for
the college players in their first
game to experience their first
tackle or block by some of their
opponents who have been thru the
mill for three years What I am
trying to say is that I think there
is plenty of justification for storm
ignals."
(Dear Biff: Plenty of occasion,
I'd say, for uncertainty as to the
Huskers' fate against Minnesota,
Indiana. Pitt, Iowa and at least
three of the Big Six teams. Ne
braskans. I believe, realize that
while you have an unusually
promising squad potentially, that
nquad with very few exceptions is
totally without game experience.
N'ebraskans, I'm sure, also know
that almost every team on your
schedule is improved over last
year).

Hailed as a panacea for student
supply ills, the Regents' Bookstore
came to this campus two years
ago, climaxing several years of
effort on the part of campus re
formers. Busing Its rales on those advo
cated during the campaign, th
institution began Helling new
books at a 10 percent discount of
the list price, buying used texts nt
50 percent of the' original new sell
ing price, and reselling them at
an increase of 25 percent.
Finding that the price increase
in used texts brought in more thaii
was necessary. Bookstore Manngei
Charles DeFord succeeded in low
ering the price to BO percent of
the list (the original price placed
on a new book by its publishers. I
Standard 10 Percent.
Seeing that the new enterprise
was making a substantial differ
ence in the number of books sold,
other bookstores soon adopted ihe
10 percent discount policy which
is merely a 10 percent reduction
from the list price.
Quick to forget as is the aver
age person outside of school, the
university student Is even faster
Already, inquiries have conic in
about books which, when new, hell
for the same price at each of the
bookstores.
Fixed Schedule.
The Regents' Bookstore, as it is
run today, works on a set schedule
there are no price comparisons.
New books are sold at 90 percent
of the list price. Used volumes
are bought at 50 percent of the
original new selling price subject,
of course, to a slight decrease l
the book is not in good condition
and resold at CO percent of the
list price. The schedule is fixed it
does not vary if the books con
form to good used quality.
Just as any other department
of the university, the funds of the
bookstore, even tho it has its own
financial reserve, are handled thru
I the finance office. Proceeds from
the store pay all expenses save i
rent, for which no charge is made, j
Each Book Unique.
Almost directly across the stieet
is Long's for some 20 years, 'he
campus bookstore. Selling new
books at the same 10 percent dis
count, Manager Johnny Johnson
buys used texts and sells them ai
prices which vary with the sup
ply, the demand, and the condi
tion of the books.
"No two books," states Johnson
"are alike. They are just as dif
ferent as the individuals who
wrote them, the publishers who
published them, and the fields
about which they are written
Those three facts must be corre
lated before you can determine
the value."
Used Text Vary.
"Let me tell you one thing." con
cluded Manager Johnson, "the
books cost less in this school than
they do in 95 percent of the rest
of the schools and colleges in thi
country. There are only seven
other bookstores in the United
States which jarll books below lis',
price."
In short, almost no difference
exists in the price of new texts
German Youth Enrolls
In Dental College
Former Student at
Heidelberg, Louisiana
Four years nt Louisiana State
university, one year nt the Univer
sity of Heidelberg and now In the
Dental College at the University
of Nebraska, is the record of Fred
crick Booth of Mannheim, Ger
many. When asked why he had chosen
Nebraska, he replied that after
rending bfcoks of Marl Sandoz,
Bess Streeter Aldrlch and particu
larly "Reluctant Soil" by Chalmer
Richardson, and after hearing
about the drouth of the last few
years and the recent "White Spot"
publicity, he decided Nebraska
would be the most Interesting of
the midwestern states.
Mr. Booth has enjoyed his brief
stay at Nebraska but Is a little bit
leai-y of the cold weather. He mar
vels at the congeniality of the stu
dents and finds that the standards
on this campus are much more
rigid than those on the L. S. U.
campus. He liked Heidelberg very
much as they employ the Oxford
system of allowing the student to
go as fast or as slow as he pleases.
Mr. Booth U decidedly pro-Hitler
and pro-Nazi, declaring that
the American press doesn't give an
unbiased picture of Germany s
principles. Although not believing
there will not be a war, he does
believe it will be averted for a few
years. Germany is not prepared
and not ilesirous of war. He also
adds that Germany will not con
tinue her aggressive movements
after she has acquired the terri
tory taken from her In the Ver
saiile treaty.
Mr. Booth intends to graduate
here before returning to his native
Mannheim to practice. He says
dental science is sadly lacking in
Europe and most of the dentists
come to this country to study.
