Why lias student interest in extra-curricular
activities and projects waned? Why are
only 1500 copies of the Cornhusker sold as
compared with sales of 3000 and more a few
years ago? Why do only 2.'00 students of the
University's f.r()0 purchase vearlv subscriptions
to the DAILY NKBKASKAX? 'Vhy has the
number of workers on all campus publications
and organizations decreased markedly in re
cent years?
These questions and others are one of the
principle concerns of campus leaders and
Student Union officials. Educators the coun
try over agTee that extra-curricular activi
ties are an integral part of college life. Next
to scholarship, surveys have shown, such act
ivities play the most important part in a suc
cessful four years. They have as a definite
purpose the application of theory studied in
class.
The entire activity program, that of vari
ous campus organizations as well as that of
the Student Union, should and do lead, direct,
and avail students of a chance to participate
in activilies both cultural and educational that
Mill lead toward wholesome and beneficial
pursuits. lUit no mailer how broad and invit
ing this program may be made, without the
interest of a large portion of the campus, the
system deteriorates into a segregated and
highly competitive program. As a result few
people arc in charge of many lasks with a
resultant inferior production in all.
Last year a men's point system was in
stituted to prevent a minority from controlling-
a large majority of the extra curricular
activities. But not within the system itself,
will reformers find their task, but rather on
the campus as a whole. Not in the men who
are already actively engaged in activities,
but rather in the great mass of lethargic,
disinterested souls, should the stimulating- in
fluence be injected.
One of the principle queries concerning
prospective employees raised by personnel
agents is that of extra curricular actitilics.
Success in such a pursuit develops qualities of
leadership and imagination. It is a field open
to every student of this university. The only
initiative required is 1hat of a mere interest.
The benefits are manifold.
Where can you find so much for so little?

Behind world events
"SING FOR YOUR SUPPER"
EENITO MUSSOLINI, since Hie early 1920 s head of the
fascist corporative state, is out. looking for some delectable
territorial plums. The appetite of the Italian leader lias been
whetted by noting the apparent relish with which Hitler is de
vouring and digesting his more recent conquests in central
Europe.
Mussolini wants the port of
Jibuti in French Somaliland and
a controlling interest in the rail
road which connects this port
with Addis Ababa; a voice in the
controlling policy of the Suez
canal; and anything from mino
rity rights to full control in Cor
sica, Tunisia, Nice and Savoia.
This last, Savoia, is praticularly
important to Italy since it is the
provincial homeland of Victor
Emanuel, who in private life is the
King of Italy.
France is willing to grant mino
rity rights to Italians living in
Tunis, and joint control over the
outlet at Jibuti, but will not
grant any important territorial
concessions. As a matter of fact,
since the begining of the present
crisis France has revoked its pre
vious gift of some African desert
lands granted Italy a few years
past.
Mussolini is singing loudly in
the hope that France and Eng
land may feel constrained to
grant him some small portion of
his demands, and such conces
sions would constitute an Italian
victory. The Italians are not a
warlike people, and have never
had any marked success in mili
tary manouvers. In spite of the
noise which is made by Mus
solini's imitation of Tarzan, Italy
Is not yet ready for a war and
does not really desire to provoke
such conflict.
THE CASE OF POLAND
Poland, designed by the Treaty
tt Versailles as a bulwark against
Russian aggression, is today's key
to the foreign situation. Toland
is unwilling to join England,
Fi ance and Russia in a four power
pact to block the German ad
vances. Poland Is however bound
by treaty to France and Russia,
both eventual aims of the rising
German power.
Joseph Beck, sometimes called
"the wiliest diplomat In all of
Europe," is on his way to London
to sound out English feeling.
Beck is slightly pro-Russian in
his sympathies and this creates an
internal conflict for Toland. Mar-

shal Rmidgly-Ritz, militarist who
wields political control in Poland,
is German in his beliefs. Eeck and
Smidgly-Rizt, Germany and Rus
sia. Which way will Poland turn?
The selected area for Hitler's
next aggressive movement, snug
gled in between Germany proper
and East Prussia and Memel,
Poland is economically dependent
on the reich. The Polish corridor
with its outlet at the Free City
of Danzig already under Nazi
domination is Poland's only exit
to the Baltic Rea rnd this entry
to the Atlantic (thru the Baltic
to the North sea) may be shut
off by German fleets on the west.
Poland also lies between those
areas over which Germany has
exerted a great political and
economic influence, and the im
position of high tariff barriers by
Lithuania, Hungary, and greater
Germany would leave Russia as
the only possible free market
available, and Russia is too inter
ested in her own internal market
problems to worry much about
Poland.
Latest news reports have Po
land on the march. Polish troops
must move to the west against
Germany, to the north against
Memel and Lithuania, to the south
against Hungary and what was
once Czechokiavakia, and pos
sibly to the east against Russia.
The movement of the totali
tarian powers to recapture lands
taken from the Central Powers
after the last World War is now
in full swing. Poland lies in the
path of this movement. Shall we
say "Hail Poland. Hail and farewell."
