UN fights subversive activity
Regents take
aetion against
un-Americans
Board also approves
new appointments,
assignment changes
Cooperating in the national fight
against subversive activities, the
Board of Regents yesterday de
clared that any such action on the
part of a faculty member or stu
dent would bring immediate dis
missal from this school.
The statement, adonted in the
form of a ruling, read : "Other uni
versities have announced their pol
icies in respect to the present na
tional defense program. In order
that there may be no doubt now,
or at any time in the future, re
garding the attitude of the Board
of Regents of the University of
Nebraska, the board wishes it to
be known that if any student or
employee of the University of Ne
bra ska should be so misguided as
to violate any federal or state law
regarding subversive activities he
will thereby give cause for sev
erance of his connections with the
university. We prefer to make
such a statement before, rather
than after, any specific reason for
it may have arisen. '
.In that same board meeting,
yesterday, the regents also made
changes of assignment in duties
of faculty and staff members and
gave approval to personnel
changes, as follows:

Re-living the activities
campus in 1917, 300 soldiers, por
trayed by students, marched off to
war in front of the cameras for
"Miss Bishop" yesterday.
Marshall Neilan, who directed
such stars as Mary Pickford and
Gloria Swanson, showed Phyllis
Welch, Bettie Cox, Max Whittaker
and Priscilla Mosely how to give
their profiles the proper angle for
the camera.
About four scenes were shot
of the soldiers themselves, of the
spectators, and of small groups of
men. Part of the costumed extras
were used, but most of the crowd
wore their own top-coats and car
ried bundles and baggage to sig
nify 1P17.

the first quarter when Norman

UN students
prove loyalty
to Biffs boys
Enthusiasm ran ranmant Friday
night as 2,000 cheering Husker
students proved their loyalty and
support to the Eiffer's boys at a
pre-game rally staged in the sta
dium. Like a prairie fire before a
strong wind the chant "Beat In
diana," spread thru the cheering
crowd marching down "R" street
and up 16th to the football arena.
Only mishap of the rally was
the explosion of one of the sky
rockets directly behind the speak
ers' stand where Corn Cobs and
Tassels were gathered. A heavy

Willkie-itcs on
affirmative of who
should be president
Debating on the question "Re
solved that Willkie is the logical
choice for president," two teams,
formed from the university politi
cal clubs, will air the campaign is
sues in the Student Union ballroom
this afternoon at 2:30.
The university Willkie-for-Presi-dent
Club has assumed the affirm
ative with the Young Democrats,
the negative. Speaking for Willkie
will be Ed Wittenburg and Bill
Rist. The opposing team is com
posed of Leo and Harold Turkel.
The debate is, according to the
two club presidents, an opportun
ity for students and faculty to hear
the campaign issues fairly put, and
to evaluate the charges and counter-charges
of the two political
parties.
Prior to the debate the Lancas
ter county clerk will give a brief
talk on the rules and regulations
governing the absentee ballot
which will affect many university
students.
The program in the ballroom is
sponsored jointly by the two cam
pus political organizations and is
open to the public.

score came by the aerial route

Odd about the Nebraska scoring
was that it stole plenty of thunder
from the Indiana eleven. The ise

Nebraska started its first touch

"The maximum possible co-operation

possible isolation from war, is and
always has been our platform,"
Noman Thomas, socialist candi

group which had gathered to hear
him at the Y. M. C. A. Friday
afternoon, under the auspices of
the Nebraska Peace Council
Mr. Thomas, a tall man of dy
namic manner, voictd the opinion
that Roosevelt's immediate policy
is one that will directly involve
America in the European war and
that there is no shadow of justifi
cation for involvement.
The United States," he said,
'"demands absorute, power nd
overlordship over the western
hemisphere, but considers Japan's
effoHs in Asia prompted by the
devil. The United States has the
most movable frontier of any na
tion in the world. Not so long ago
it was on the Rhine, since it has
been in London and the East In
dies. Who says there are no more
frontiers? This imperialistic atti
tude is only a justification of the
failure of our brand of democ
racy."
Regarding conscription and the
democratic principles of it, Mr.
Thomas pointed out that the least
democratic part of our country,
the South, supported conscription
and that the bill would have been
