Peacetime
Preparedness
You rciitl so much llicsp days from Wash
ington almut speniling. Millions ntul even liil
lions of dollars arc talked of as casually as if
they were the tiickles and dimes you carried
on your person. Hig money fails to take your
hreath nwny, proliahly because you fail to
fathom a million dollars.
Yesterday's headlines of President
Roosevelt's request for 552 million dollars
$552,000,000 to be spent on a gigantic na
tional defense progTam makes you stop and
think. This tidy little sum represents the
total "minimum" required to avoid U. S.
hysteria while European war threats loom
up more menacingly. Congress was asked to
appropriate funds "as speedily as possible."
You have to lake some interest in this na
tional defense talk liecaiisc of the ureal pos
sibility thai you. as university students, might
graduate into one of the corps of lliis giant
defense army as engineers, nurses, doctors,
pilots, writers, clerks, sailors or soldiers. Of
course, this is mere conjecture, hut it has hap
pened before. About -2 years ago, N. V. stu
dents with varied academic interests found
themselves in trenches "somewhere in France."
As every I. S. ambassador makes a report of
the growing menace of war. the possibility in
creases that 1017 campus scenes will he du
plicated. In a way, the possibility is a terrifying
thing, one that students shrug off with
"well, what about it, what can I do to stop
a war?" The answer is a disarming one,
because no one can truthfully say an avowed
pacificism can stave, off a war. Your elders
will tell vou that they didn't want to go to
war the last time, but "incidents" planned
and unplanned left no choice.
Peacetime preparedness can come from
more than hiking the military and naval
phases of national defense. The civilians re
quire preparedness against war, not for war.
Perhaps an intelligent populace can put its
foot down on war. Hut peoples have yet to
learn war, twentieth century combat in which
the minds arc first poisoned by propaganda
and then the bodies are poisoned by gas, ma
chine gunned, bombed and bayoneted.
First lesson in preparedness against
war is what your hindsight enables you to
know. The past teaches a powerful lesson
in war. As long as powers of foresight have
not been sharpened to a point of perfection,
the past must guide in the present and fu
ture. By knowing the past, its mistakes will
never need to be repeated.
Apologies . . .

admittedly flagrant violation of the cardinal
tenet of journalism accuracy.

department recommends that they

save time and trouble in re-organizing
the various companies

However. Colonel Omy assures

that in case they do ti mutter from
one company to another, even tho
all posts in their company are
filled, they will retain their ratings,
alternating in such positions as

ratings also hut will not take ac

The photographs of the differ
ent candidates will be taken dur
ing the next two weeks and sent
to Carroll sometime during the
first part of February.
Kiich photograph will be accom
panied by the measurements of
the candidate and a self rating of
ench girl. The measurements will
include age, height, weight, neck,
host, hips, thights, calf, ankle,
wrist, foot size and glove size.
Rate Yourself.
The rating that each girl must
make of herself will be graded on
ten points. It a candidate is sure
that her answer lo a certain point
is entirely positive, she will give
herself ten points. If she feels that
! she has only half of the charac
teristics which go to make up a
positive Hnswer on the point, she
will give herself five niarks. In
this manner she will rate herself
on each of the following points
1. Color and texture of hair; 2.
Smile; 3. Brilliancy and size of
eyes; 4. Ileguliirity of teeth; 5.
Cciieriil coloring; U. Skin texture:
7 Formation of hands; 8. For
mation of feet; 0. Posture; 10.
Personality. As Carroll put it in
his letter of Instructions, each girl
will naturally be fair In her own
rating.
An Informal picture of - each
candidate will be submitted. These
pictures will be taken by members
of the Cornhusker photography
staff.
Chosen by Reputation.
Any organization was allowed
to present one candidate for the
title for every 20 yearbooks sold
to their group. No organization
was allowed to submit more than
three candidates.
Carroll was selected from a
group of movie stars, producers,
and showmen. According to Pat
Lahr, editor of the annual, he was
selected primarily on his reputa
tion as a beauty judge. However,
she felt that a deviation from the
usual policy of having the selec
tions made by a movie star, would
be both unique and unusual.
The winners will be announced
this spring when the yearbooks
are distributed.
The University of Michigan has
collection of 4,000 old and rare
textbooks.
