Out on a limb
were members of the Student
Council .yesterday. A week ago,
in an effort to straddle the
fence and keep both ears to the
ground, councilmen voted to
route the annual migration to
Missouri.
When the significant figures,
f I0.0r, were revealed, however,
student support for the Mizzou
jaunt, support that had evident
ly planned to travel 800 miles
for buttons, melted away like
the snow beneath Baron Mun
chausen's horse.
And left dangling, like the
baron's horse, was the Student
Council. "
Thus abandoned by the stu
dents at whose wishes the mi
gration had been set, the conn
cil had but one thing to do.
That it did.

over with by stating that our pur
pose is to inform our readers of
the queer quirks and noteworthy
news issuing from other colleges

...have become a major issue
at the University of California
Last year, the Stanford campus
was in an uproar, which amused
the nation, in regard to installing
a drum majorette for the band.
This year it's California, where
tha band balks at being led by a
"sUirt" because "its music and
stunts are sufficient entcrtain-
mcnt" .
"Here is the challenge issued on
behalf of the aspiring majorette:
"Our drum majorette, armed with
a baton and clad in shap.;!y and
revealing armor challenges the
band's drum major. . .This should
give the student body a chance to
decide once and t r all whether
or not they want a skirt or a pair
of pants on the business end of a
baton."

To the Editor:
Yesterday an Autocrat from O
street slapped me with this query:
What kind of a military depart
ment and a student body do you
have up there?" To my feeble
"Why?" he answered:
"At half-time in the Minnesota
erame I stood in the east stadium
and watched the Nebraska band
salute the student section with
"The Scarlet and Cream." The
crowd around me rose to a man
and most of them bared their
heads as the strains of that fa
miliar tune floated up. Down in
front the cadets and cadet officers
of the ROTC stood with hands in
their pockets, cigarettes in their
mouths, or grins on their faces
as they talked and joked during
this minute of solemnity. It was
enough to make you sick!"
I didn't have anything to say
and said it.
"Before the game," he continued,
"while the 'Star Spangled Banner'
was being played I noticed some
cadet offioer sitting nonchalantly
on a rail, getting a big kick out
of life. It never occured to him to
feel respectful toward the United
States flag or anything else."
I looked down my nose and
gulped. What could I say? I knew
he wasn t lying.
Here, indeed, was a challenge
straight forward enough to make
ns all take notice. As a student
and as a former member of the
ROTC I resented hearing what he
had just told me. What student
wouldn't have? It seems to me
that now. more than ever, we
should be working to seel our uni
versity and its ideals to the public.
And that goes for those not con
nected with the military depart
ment as well.

The puzzle, what is love, is as
old as man. It seems as if every
so-called intelligent soul at some
time or another attempts to de
fine what I choose to call a state
of mental being.
Confuscious once said that
"Love is a gross exaggeration of
the difference between one person
and everybody else." I can cer
tainly see the point.
I should say that love is the
feeling that you feel when you
feel that you are going to have a
feeling that you have never felt
before.
As for how love is put into be
ing, I can say only this. It seems
that love at first sight has given
way to love at every chance,
high the other day in the Univer
sity Daily Kansan, published by
our neighbor at Lawrence. Said
the Kansan, "A revolutionary
measure prohibiting smoking in
campus buildings was introduced
last night at the meeting of the
Men's Student Council." A similar
regulation is in force at Nebraska,

Impartiality?
If Mr. Roosevelt wants to be
impartial, why was the Bremen
held for inspection in port, de
spite the fact that inspection failed
to reveal any arms, while the
Queen Mary and other British
merchant ships were permitted to
arm themselves in American
ports? Why are Mr. Roosevelt and
his congressional cohorts acquiesc
ing to shippers' demands for cer
tain products to be allowed to be
shipped on American vessels to
belligerent nations, this being a
most dangerous concession, while
the arms embargo is presesd to
its final repeal despite the im
partiality of its continued exist
ence? Why has Mr. Roosevelt refused
to act as mediator when such ac
tion was requested, by the German
government, yet constantly in
formed the Eritish that American
diplomatic offices were ready to
do anything helpful?
Anglo-Turkish pact.
Meanwhile, in Europe tonight,
Enelish diplomats were a bit hap
pier with the announcement of the
acceptance by Turkey or a mutual
assistance pact with England. Tur
key agreed to come to England s
aid in the event of war in the
Balkans with the reservation that
she would not go to war with Rus
sia. Perhaps the western world is
just beginning to realize the sig
nificance of tne cnanges wrougni
in the Turkish cultural, political
and economic life by the late Mu
stapha Kemal, benevolent dictator
of Turkey. For within 20 years,
Ataturk, built out of a barbarous
country, a strong, unified nation.
He changed the outmoded oriental
alphabet to a modern one, and
otherwise inaugurated western
customs. He refortified the Darda
nelles, built thousands of schools,
factories, and developed Turkey
economically to a place where she
can seriously compete with west
era nations.
Propaganda.
Speaking of war, people are
coming to recognize propaganda,
and to be distrustful of all ques
tionable movie and newspaper ma
terial. Audience at "All Quiet on
the Western Front," showing cur
rently at one of Lincoln's theaters,
showed irritation every time the
announcer interrupted the show
to give his personal opinion, and
many left as soon as the show
proper was completed and before

Cynical Sue
By Paul Svoboda
My mommie told me
Never to smoke or drink,
But when I came to college
Of these morals I didn't think.
Now I'm not wild or anything,
I just have lots of fun,
But to the home town gossiper
From town I should be run.
I go on picnics to the hill,
And moonlit rides near the lake
Sometimes I pet just for the thrill
And to give the boys a break.
My names not on the pearly gate,
I expect a bid from Satan,
But most the kids who here do rate
Will each have an invitation.
So do not sorrow, do not weep,
When from this earth I go,
'Cause I will have more company
In my abode below.
