Pre-Meds Hear Jones Flay isms Religious Leader Sees Collapse Nazi Regime Beginning his address to pre iiicis. pharmacy, and dentistry students yesterday afternoon. E. Stanley Jones, eminent Christian statesman, said, "There are two ways to look at life, either as a bubble that bursts and disappears, r an egg that is creative of life." Dividing the world into five kingdoms, namely, mineral, plant, animal, human and God's, he went n to say that people who put the human kingdom above all the rest 'n cuided in their belief by "hu imnistie Instinct" and are there foi prejudiced. Describing the "kingdom of God" as a large family with God frher. he went on to prove that the family is the most effec 'ive organization by which society cm function properly. Nazism is an organization of fi'e rather than of people; there fore it cannot exist for any length '. time. Continuing his attack on 'ifins" he said communism cuts out other classes while fascism Khuts out other nations and both are based on selfishness with the only result being disaster. In end- mg ins address he said that the way of Jesus Is the only safe and i sane way for humanity. 13 THIS YOUP PICTURE?! layi Left To Gel Your CnrnhutUer I'ii Ii. ri- TKi:N HKfAt'f Tilt KKATKHNITV AND KdROKITX UbMJVE IB NOVEMBER IS, 19311 KOR JUNIORS AND SENIORS IT IS hOVDIBEB l, II3I TOWNSEND'S STUDIO 'FootballNotEducational Says Supreme Court So Uncle Sam Shares Gate Receipts BY BRUCE CAMPBELL. If there is one party that should not object to the overemphasis of football in the collegiate program that party is the United States government. The reason why the government should take a friendly attitude towaid the gridiron sport is a very sound financial one, inasmuch as thousands of dollars pour into the federal treasury each Satur day from the tax levied on foot ball tickets. Federal tax receipts from tick ets sold to spectators who wish to spectate in the Nebraska stadium amount to a sum varying yearly between $15,000 and $16,000, ac cording to John Selleck, business manager. This averages down to a tax yield per game of slightly over $3,000. With Nebraska contributing about $3,000 every Saturday to federal coffers, and about 200 or 250 football games played every Saturday, it can easily be seen that the weekly governmental take approximates the Ji million mark which would pay quite a few sal aries on the alphabetical bureaus. Senator's Salary. As Business Manager Selleck pointed out, by citing the Notre Dame-Minnesota game, there are many big games yielding the gov ernment more than $3,000.

Twenty-five hours from Ne braska to New York to speak be fore a banquet of New York's elite and back to Nebraska! Looking tired from his dash from plane to train to meetings to seminar, E. Stanley Jones, most sought after religious speaker in the world, was still radiating geniality last night. In his clear speech, distinct and slightly British accented, he as serted in a n interview thut the fundamental weakness In a college student's connection with religion is his almost absolute Illiteracy on the subject. "They don't know what it's all alxiut." Delighted to find Nebraska students responsive, he is granting interviews to as many students as time will allow. Friend of Gandhi, Dr. Jones was the Indian's guest for ten days once. "Just before I left India, I wrote him asking him to come to England with me. His reply was very characteristic. He said, 'I Notre Dame-Minnesota game last Saturday, for example, had an es timated gate of $100,000. Ten per cent of that amounts to $10,000, which is equivalent to a senator's salary. Thus, by a bit of sophism in syllogistic form, it could be stated that senators should sup port collegiate football, thus al lowing football to support the sen ate, which in turn is one of the government's largest operating ex penses and funds used for sena tors' salaries could be otherwise utlized. Therefore football saves the government money. Interpret the fact as you may, however, the fact remains that collegiate football is very benefi cial to the federal treasury. This addition to the black inked side of the federal budget came as a result of the supreme court rul ing that football is not an essen tial educational activity. It's con stitutionality was established just last year but colleges have had to pay the tax for the past six years. The law provides that the foot ball tickets have a tax levy of 1 cent for every 10 cents or fraction thereof. Ten cents on the dollar, for example, and 20 cents on 52. It has been the policy of the Ne braska athletic department to price the tickets so that the tax will be included, and customers not forced to pay a tax above the list price. The $2.50 ticket actually costs $2.27 plus a tax of 27 cents, j making a total of $2.50. I H. D. Bollinger Speaks Before Groups Today H. D.

Broadcaster Kaltenborn Has Never a Dull Moment Adventurous Newsman Talks Here Saturday No Richard Harding Davis hero ! ir r I ' 1 1 u i : an article in Today magazine, yet ne ran away jrom nome at tne age of 19 to join the 4th Wiscon sin Regiment in the Spanish American War and since then has had a series of adventures, any one of which would be enough to satisfy the average man for a life time. Kaltenborn. who will speak In Lincoln Saturday evening, had perhaps his most exciting escapde in the summer of 1936 when he made the first broadcast from an actual scene of a battle in Spain. Crouched like a setting hen in the flimsy shelter of a haystack mid way he projected the battlefield around the world in words, paus ing occasionally to let the rattle of rifle and machine gun fire serve as exclamation points. In his nine hours wait before radio connections were completed, shells cut his lines, bombs ex ploded nearby and bullets swished thru the hay near his head. For his impartial radio reporting the Spanish Revolution, Kaltenborn was awarded the 1937 gold plaque of the Headline! club. During an earlier Sino-Japanese fracas in 1927, he was the first American Journalist to Interview Gen. Chiang Kal Shek who had retreated into China's mountain ous interior. Traveling to meet the Chinese commander, Kaltenborn was captured for ransom by Chi nese bandits. Due to the failure of the money haven't been able to achieve peace here between the Mohammedans and Hindus, so I do not think that my word would have any moral authority In Europe. If I can achieve peace here then they'll probably come to me.' " Dr. Jones Is also a friend of Tagore, the Indian poet who won the Nobel prize for literature, hav ing stayed for three months at his ashram, or school. "The most fun I ever had with an audience was with a cruwd of Journalists at Illinois. They really came back at me, and journalists can squeal very effectively." He thinks that journullsts,-especially college writers, are too much in dined to interpret and write the news as it will appeal to their reading public, Instead of present ing the most important points that the man whom they are reporting wanted to get across.

Barb Club Organization Hears Record Six Hundred Students Compose 24 Groups Barb organization on the cam pus ncars an all time peak with more than six hundred students organized into 24 independent clubs, it was announced this week in the barb bulletin, weekly unaf filiate publication. A drive inaugurated last week to secure more clubs has produced results and added six clubs to the organization. Twenty-one of the clubs have entered teams in the independent voneyuau league. i "At the early mass meetings held this fall an organization com mittee was formed and given the specific duty of drawing up plans for a permanent and effective Barb association and to put the plans into effect. Its actions were deliberately slow, but the mem bers are convinced that they are producing the desired results," the publication points out.

A parlor trick, relic of his Harvard days, was all the corpse-to-be could think of, so he bal anced a straw on the end of his nose. To quote Today magazine, "Rifles were lowered in awe un til the money arrived, Kaltenborn traoed juggling lessons for his captors' forbearance." Students are probably more familiar with Kaltenborn's recent coverage of the Czechoslovakian crisis and the Munich agreement. Columbia's ace commentator and interpreter of events as they hap pen, was on duty 21 hours a day, sleeping and eating in the broad casting studio. As soon as bulletins or speeches came in, Kaltenborn was at the mike interpreting and analyzing. In all his broadcasts and lectures, he refuses to use more than meag er, hastily scribbled notes on even the most complicated subjects. Dean of radio commentators and in great demand as n platform speaker, Hans von Kaltenborn Is also the author of two books, "We Look At The World," and "Kalten born Edits The News." He Is con tributing editor to the Commenta tor magazine and has written nu merous articles on varied topics ranging from international prob lems to domestic economics. In Lincoln, he will speak at St. Paul's church at 12th and M. 8 o'clock Saturday evening under the title, "Kaltenborn Edits the News." Tickets are $1 each.

At least when Martin Oelrich. Omaha senior, wishes to recall his University friends, he'll just look in the cupboard and take out a cast he once wore on his arm but now made sacred by the signa tures of many old schoolmates. It all happened because of the tain a couple of weeks ago. The roof in the coliseum leaked and there wus a puddle of water on the basketball ourt. Nov. 3. Martin was practicing basketball when he slipped in the wet and broke his arm Just above the wrist. Beautiful As Well As Useful. The next day he was wearing a cast from his palm to his elbow, and deciding it make it beautiful as well as useful, he started ask ing his friends to sign it. He has 57 signatures by latest count and may add a few more before Thanksgiving day, when the doc tor promises to take off the cast.
