Puzzling drill movements
eliminated in field company
Ayotte sponsors group
which will experiment
with new infantry rules
Perspiring R. O. T. C. cadets
will watch members of the Corn
husker Field Company with envy
this spring, as they experiment
with the new infantry drill regula
tions, according to Major John U.
Ayotte, faculty sponsor. Company
members will not be required to
do squads rights and lefts, right
fronts into line, or any of the other
complicated movements which ca
dets are now forced to learn. The
new drill requires only the simpl
est of movements.
The battle training organiza
tion will be the first military unit
of any kind in the Seventh corps
area to experiment with the new
regulations. Feature of the com'
pany will be the special headquar
ters platoon, which will man two
27 mm. guns, miniature cannon,
firing blanks in them. This plat
oon will act as the enemy in most
of the unit's sham battle. Train
ing will culminate the first week
of May with a special trip to Fort
Crook, where the new drill will
be demonstrated to reserve of
ficers of the corps area.
To . Organize Saturday.
All members and recruits will
assemble Saturday, Feb. 11, at
9 o'clock in room 201, Ne

Telephone engineer
addresses A. I. E. E.
J. W. Cowan, engineer in charge
of long line transmission for the
American Telephone and Tele
graph company, spoke here last
night before a joint meeting of the
Nebraska section and university
branch of the American Institute
of Electrical Engineers.
Cowan described the multi-channel
carrier telephone system used
by his company, telling of the me
chanism's uses in long distance
communication. Following his ad
dress, Cowan gave a demonstra
tion of the negative feedback prin
ciple as applied to the amplifiers
in the multi-channel carrier system.
Student opinion parallels
public feeling, polls show
Collcgiotes commend
Roosevelt's activities
AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 9. That
the average American student's
trend of thought runs parallel to
public opinion in at least one way
is shown by a comparison of polls
by the American Institute of Pub
lic Opinion and the Student Opin
ion surveys of America. At the
same time the Surveys have re
ceived their first test of accuracy.
During the period from Decem
ber to January President Roose
velt's popularity increased, both
scientific sampling organizations
show, and their figures come with
in two-tenth of one percent of each
other. Increases shown by the polls
are:
American Institute 2.5
Student Surveys 2.7
The rise in the president's pop
ularity, Dr. George Gallup ex
plains, is due to hia activities in
world affairs during the time rath
er than more controversial domes
tic matters. Students have been
found more in favor of the presi
dent than the general public. The
comparison throws some light
upon the accuracy of the Student
Opinion Surveys, organized in De
cember with the DAILY NEBRAS
KAN as one of the co-operating
college newspapers.
Another check on the Surveys
was made when two polls were

Missionary
tells of life
in new Japan
T. T. Brumbaugh writes
that freedom is not
wholly suppressed
Word has been received that
T. T. Brumbaugh, returned mis
sionary from Japan who spoke
here last spring describing the
Sino-Japanese conflict, is on his
way back to Nippon to carry on
his missionary work there despite
the great war raging in the Orient.
"Many are thinking and saying
harsh things about Japan, and not
without reason," writes Brum
baugh. "Politically and nationally,
the American reaction to what is
happening in Asia is to double our
army, navy and air forces while
at the same time increasing re
strictions on trade with Japan,
with talk even of boycott and em
bargo. Morally and ideally well,
that's different."
Tremendous Problems.
"Japan and Japanese Christians
are facing tremendous problems
today." declares a letter from
American workers that was open'
ly posted in the Japanese mails.
"The nation is united in a great
struggle against China, and a
complete nationalistic spirit pre'
vails, as it did in the United States
at the time of the World war
Everything possible to unite the
people behind the guns into one
complete unit of thought and ac
tion is being encouraged by the
government.
"Yet, it may be said, in fairness
to Japan, that greater freedom
exists there today than many peo'
pie abroad realize.
Exemption Age 25.
"Students in colleges and uni
versitics of Japan are exempt
from active military service up to
the age of 25. That is more than
can be said for America in the
time of the World war, when the
cream of American youth was sent
off to the battle fields. Our univer
sities and colleges in Japan are
filled to capacity with youth,
young men and women seeking to
learn what only schools can give
them. The classroom, the library,
the laboratory all remain on
high educational level and have
not been measureably disturbed
by war activities."
taken on different months, using
different groups of students, with
the same question, "Would you like
to see Roosevelt run for a third
term?" The results:
December, yes 27.2
January, yes 28.2
Altho the closeness of the fig
ures does not constitute a test of
the cross-section of students being
used, it does point out that the size
of the sample being interviewed
has apparently reached "stability,"
or, is large enough.
Nearly 3,000 students of all ge
ographical sections, economic lev
els, ages, and other classifications,
are personally interviewed for eacn
poll, thus representing the opinions
of the 1,300,000 American colleg
ians. The Fortune poll, which pre
dicted Roosevelt's re-election with
almost perfect accuracy, finds it
possible to Interview only 4,500
persons with similar scienflflc
methods to find the opinions of
75,000,000 -adults.
