But while we are concerned with it, why not talk about little duf fers. That includes all mites from one month to 16 years old and should exclude any of our readers. Kids do all soils of cute things, such as eat what they think to be raisins off the fly paper. But they all aren't so dumb. One neighbor woman, the one who gets around, has a young one who knows the ropes like a hangman. She was putting him to bed one night. She said, "quiet dear, the sandman is coming." And the kid pipes up and says, "Okay mom, a dollar and I won't tell pop." Course, kids are always asking all sorts of questions such as "Does the Stork have anything to do with the births on a pullman train?", etc. Guess that's the only way they will ever learn, New parents are just as bad. We have a woman in our town who was blessed with twins. In the ex citement of it all, she named them Pete and Repete. At least thats an old story in Blair. Course, duffers will be duffers. But it is getting a bit bad when they want to know why Santa Clans doesn't come early to avoid the Christmas rush! Barbour, Schulrx write article on giant camel The museum's giant camel named Gigantocamelus fricki, in honor of Childs Frick of the Amer ican Museum of Natural History in New York City, is fully described, and the development of the Broad-water-Lisco quarries discussed in a recent bulletin of the museum. Dr. E. H. Barbour, director, and C. B. Schultz, assistant director in charge of field parties, are the authors. EESS HE COULD do nothing more to solve Nebraska's educational prob lem because there is but one solu tion. And the Chancellor has that one firmly in mind. The problem, of course is an old one made more acute by increased registra tion figures in the light of Uni versity budget slashes which the legislature was forced to make. The solution, likewise, is not new but more conclusive in face of the words spoken by the Chan cellor at the first faculty home coming dinner in the Union Fri day night. ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS, forcing enrollment limitations, higher fees, and more strict re quirements to stay in the univer sity from one year to the next, it seems now, have come so near actuality that the stirring an nouncement may be made in the next several months. If a change were to be made, and the chan cellor said there would be no change until 1940, it must come soon in order to notify aspiring students early. The solution, as Dr. Boucher suggests, will prob ably be a pleasant combination of limited enrollment and higher fees. O UNLIKE some politicians. Chancellor Boucher deals all his cards from the top of the deck He speaks out and throws his punches direct from the shoulder. Nothing which is of primary im portance to the university teach ing staff or its student body is withheld. The very fact that the chancellor publicly presented the true problem of this university won for him immediately the re spect and sympathy of members of the legislature. It was also the presentation of the true problems facing this institution that led to passage of L. B. 140 which gives the Board of Regents power to formulate entrance examinations forcing limited enrollment. FRIDAY NIGHT'S session was that same speaking out. The chan cellor has repeatedly pointed out that Nebraska's position as an ac credited school in the North Cen tral Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools has been in jeopardy. FROM A STUDENT point of view, enrollment limitation is a notable thing. Increased costs in fees, naturally, is not wanted. En rollment limitation would bring to this institution the importance of quality, not quantity; the import ance of "how much can I get," not "how much can I get by with." O Dean Oldfather to Prof Lancas ter: There were two widows living in a house adjacent to one inhab ited by new neighbors. "We have new neighbors," said one to the other. "What," said the other. (Repeat). "They say he's a new dealer," said the first. "What," said the other. (Repeat). "Thev say he's the son of a Bishop," said ' the first. " W hat, said the other, j (Repeat). "They all are," said the other.

The following letter was received by the managing editor from David Thomp son, formerly f the DAILY NKHKA8 KAN sports staff. ho is now altenditiK the I'mverxlty of Michigan. Thompson plans to keep the Nebraska stuilcntu In formed thruoiu the year on the activities of the Michigan campus. Dear Merrill: Long time no see or hear from so I thought I might as well let you know where to reach me if you get enough ambition to write and have gotten over the grind of rush week yet. However the main reason for this letter of sorts wa3 to tell you about the publications building that they sport on this rich man's campus. Boy what a layout, it turns a Nebraskan green with envy just to look at it. All the Michigan U publications are housed in a two-story building. On the upper floor are the edi torial and business offices of the paper, the yearbook, and the humor magazine. They are all in one room as long as the Union at N. U. and as wide as the Nebras kan and Awgwan offices together. Boy what a Joint. They have a wire service right in the offices and the gross business of the paper alone runs between 60 and 65 thousand dollars every year. Downstairs below the offices is the printing plant where every thing but the yearbook is printed. 4 students and 3 professionals run the linotypes and presses. 1 have been giving the old alma mater as big a build-up as I carl with a clear conscience and have raised the opinion of the midwest colleges quite a bit here. (I hope.) You can tell Art (the Nebras kan business manager), that they clear $5,000 dollars a year on the paper and this town is only 13,000 in population. Of course, the stu dent enrollment is about 12,000. Tell June (Nebraskan sports editor), that I can provide her with some copy on Michigan's football team and the Big Ten. Michigan is supposed to win it but I don't know about that. I have a pass to get into the secret football practices. Got it from the sports editor of the Michigan Daily, with whom I have made quite a few contacts. He is a god Joe and quite a fellow. I would like to arrange for an exchange between the two papers. See about that will yon? You might get some ideas from this bunch and vice versa. How would you like to have a mat of the Daily office here to run in the Rag? I can get it for you if you want it. They are pretty proud of their layout and any attempt to publicize it directly or indirectly is right up their alley. Give all the staff my regards, and any of my friends if you see them. Keep the good work in ac tivities but don't strengthen that faction of yours too much. And for gosh sakes write and keep me from being too darn far from things going on out there. Things are sure high in this burg. Parties run from $2.50 to $5.50. I guess I'll stay home. Well I'll have to quit now, but will write again soon. As ever, Tommie. Neutrality (Continued from Page 1.) viding into opposing camps over neutrality revision. While center of controversy is the arms embar go, attention is also being focused on the soealled cash and carry provision which, with prohibitions on American shipping to belliger ents, expired this May. The cash and carry idea is to permit no export of goods to bel ligercnts until they are paid for and title transferred. The goods so purchased can leave the country only in foreign ships. Thus no American ships would be sunk carrying goods to belligerents. Such provision is obviously in favor of the allies as only they have money with which to pay and only they can transport the goods after they have bought them. Other suggestions.

Subscriptions taken at booth on first floor of Social Science, at Ag Hall, on Ag Campus, at "Rag" business office during iifternoon8, and by any CornjCob. of sales to belligerents would al low the nations involved to buy only as much as they have been over the last period of years. Such a measure would be much mor impartial than the cash and carry, but realism forces the conclusion that neutrality men will do wei! to gain and hold the "cash" part of the other provision. It must be remembered that even the cash and carry system with its increase in exports will tie the American economy quite strongly to an Al lied victory. Main provisions of the standing neutrality legislation are: Find ing that a state of war exists, the president must by proclamation prohibit, 1. Export of arms, am munition and implements of war to belligerents; 2. Sale in U. S. of securities of belligerents anii granting credit to them; 3. Trans portation of arms to belligerents in American vessels; 4, Arming of merchant marine, and 5. Travel by Americans on belligerent ves sels. Senator Vandenberg puts the arms embargo issue in a nutshell by asking can you "become an arsenal for one belligerent with out ultimately becoming a target for the other?" America will not lend. Government attempts to hold prices at a low level have been well characterized as a move to make the allied dollar go as far as possible in buying goods from the U. S., the necessity for such measures arises from the fact that America will not lend the allies money this time. Pro-British men who are re sponding to the old sentimental ities of the 1914-18 slogans may view with pleasure the announce ment made in parliament that Britain herself can supply all the shells she will need in this war. Winston Churchill, first lord of the British admiralty, who was forced to resign in the World war as the result of the "non-brilliant" attack on the Dardenelles, is again advocating the sea offen sive. This time he wants the Brit ish sailors to sail merrily through the mine infested Baltic, polish off the German opposition, cut off neutral Scandinavian trade, and bomb the Teutonic coast. British life insurance companies will pre vent this suicide pact. Rumania furnishes oil. Back in the Balkans, precious Rumanian oil still flows into British, French and American channels.
