Wings Over Nebraska U.
About 30 students, two of
whom are pirls, at N. U. have
applied and are hepinning ac
tual flying instruction.
The course is planned to
teach a number of college stu
dents how to fly reasonably
well. There are absolutely no
military obligations involved.
The course is designed to pro
vide trained flyers who may
volunteer for service in the
war we hope will never come.
With civilization advancing
at the prcstnt rate, the time
is not far off when practically
everyone will know how to fly.
Nebraska graduates will be
nrenared to teach flving if
they are unable to get a po
sition in their major field
Often during disasters trained
pilots are in demand. Oradu
ates of this flying course will
be able to take advantage of
the thrill aviation offers in
their later years.
Nebraska is definitely air
minded. Hundreds of students
go every Sunday to the local
airports to watch the planes
and ride in them. With .'50 stu
dents to fill the campus air
with flying slang, more inter
est will undoubtedly be shown.
More power to Nebraska in its
march with progress!

year old Loretto youth received
the coveted award.

Livestock hit specialty.
Kruse specializes in livestock.
Starting with a single cow, he has
built a stock of 40 hogs, 8 catUe
and 17 sheep.
The boys' father has co-operated
with his sons but has allowed them
to use their own ideas.
"I thought it would be better."
he said, "for the boys to profit
by their own mistakes. And they
have proven to me several times
that some of my method are
wrong."
Norman has these fundamental
rules for raising livestock: Raise
purebred stock -this is of para
mount Importance; feed home
grown balanced rations; keep con
ditions sanitary.
Net profit for the past year was
four times his net for the pre
vious year.

bucket compared to the total Brit
ish shipping) Nor as yet, is there
any real war enthusiasm, or bit
terness, or unity.
But significant is the fact, tho
casualties in the past few days
have been slight, that now, for the
first time, British and French and
German soldiers are dying, sup
posedly an honorable death in the
defense of the homeland, and that
they have leave behind them thou
sands who mourn them, who are
deprived of their means of liveli
hood, who are bitter towards the
ones responsible for the soldiers
death.
Cause for war.
It is axiomatic that when air
raids become frequent, when citi
zens are killed, either as civilians
or soldiers, there will arise in each
nation a popular demand for the
continuance of the war, and like
wise a demand after the war Is
won, for the vanquished to be se
verely punished. Weeping mothers
and hungry children are the best
reasons for continuing wars, and
also provide causes for future
wars.
The developments today fore
tell the end of efforts for peace,
and the beginning of war in earn
est. That is why America should
not be foolish enough to help
either side. For should Americans
lend their arms, their moneys,
their resources, for the prosecu
tion of war in Kurope, then surely
the opposite side will he able to
justify any act.on against Amcr-
fQChris Peterson
I'll put my imaginative family
up against that of Bob Burns any
day. Take my cousin for instance.
Now that I look back and think
how sincere he was about every
thing, moisture creeps into my
eyes. His sincerity kuieu mm. He
was a butcher and he put his heart
into his work.
He was afflicted too. Klepto
maniac, nut l cured mm. i iook
him to a flea circus.
His wife or I should say widow,
is odd. I gave her some beautiful
underwear last Christmas. She put
them away for a windy day!
But he was a great guy. Any
thing for a laugh, that was him,
even if it came to looking at his
face in the mirror. But at the
lame time, that kind of cast a re
flection upon the rest of the
family.
I couldn't decide whether he" was
smart or dumb. He was the one
who advanced the theory that the
white lines in the middle of the
modern highways are traffic lanes
for bicycles.
Then on the other hand he used
to come out with quickies like
this one: "A shoulder strap is a
niece of ribbon used to keep an
attraction from becoming a sensa
tion."
The family disowned him right
after he was kicked out of college
He saw a sign "Murderer wanted"
and applied for the job!
Frosh stage pep
drill tomorrow
To teach freshmen the tradi
tional songs and yells of the uni
versity, Innocents and Mortar
Boards will sponsor the second in
the series of freshmen yell prac
tices tomorrow afternoon at 5 in
the Union ballroom.
Corn Cobs and Tassels will
assist Roy Trofitt, yell king, and
his squad of cheer leaders lead the
songs and cheers for the as
sembled freshmen.
Since the best planned rallies
and football demonstrations can be
spoiled if a group of students do
not know the songs and yells, the
sponsors of the meeting urge that
all freshmen turn out for the practice.

ica, whether that sinking of
American ships, sabotage in Amer
ican factories, of vigorous anti
American propaganda campaign.
And similarly, with these ac
tions Americans too will become
bitter, Americans too will remand
retaliatory actims, reprisals, till
bitterness on both sides is so in
tensified that there is a popular
demand on both sides for war.
The single answer is, if we sin
cerely desire to stay out of war,
if we sincerely desire to be Im
partial, that we refuse to aid
either. And if from no other rea
son than self interest in the ab
sence of ar.y sense of humanitari
anism, we should remain inside
our shell. We should tell both
sides that they are aggressors, we
should ask for reasons and not
sarcasm in reply to speeches by
men like Lindbergh, we should,
in short, tell both sides to gc to the
devil.
