To the support of their party
Gala Student Union birthday parties every year on
the eve of Ivy Day traditionally keynot the all uni
versity festivities which hold the spotlight throughout
the week. With the presentation of Cornhusker beauty
queens at that time, and with the music of one of the
nation's leading bands, these pre-festival dances have
achieved the enviable reputation of being the most elab
orate campus parties of the year. The first birthday
brought the students Dave Rvbinoff and his violin, the
second Larry Clinton; and next Wednesday the third will
bring one of the five leading bands of the nation, Ray
Noble.
Pooling resources moreover with the Cornhusker,
the Union will refinish the coliseum floors, will im
prove the acousitc and the public address system
and spend large sums in attiring the building in party
finery, that the music will not lose its quality or its
volume anywhere In the room, and that the students
will have no grounds for saying a party in the colisum
is like a party In a barn.
The fact that the Union has a party and that In co
operation with the Cornhusker has made a bid once
again for the tops in entertainment isn't particulary sig
nificant For its record in the past has given the Union
just that sort of reputation. But the significant thing is
that despite the unusual program and despite the efforts
and the expense by the sponsors to make the building
more ideal for dancing, the students are not buying tick
ets, are not even getting dates, and many who have dates
are giving their support to competing non-university
functions. They are selling out their own student body,
sacrificing a student managed traditionally university af
fair, for other off campus spots.
Certainly no university function could expect loy
alty to draw a crowd if its product wasn't worth while.
But when students have demanded good bands and
when the Union and Cornhusker have responded to this
demand by assuming a heavy financial liability, bring
ing td the campus the most expensive and most famous
band ever signed here, the sponsors should be able to
depend upon student support in the venture. They
should not have to call in vain.
This year much more than in the past the goal of
every party committee has been to please the students.
The members of these committees are not in business for
money; they are seeking solely to stage the best possible
party for least possible charge. The Union is playing Ray
Noble for instance at $1.60 per couple when that same
band is playing this week at the University of Iowa for
$3.50.
The only thing that can make the pre-lvy Day fes
tivities fail is lack of student support. And should the
party fail and should much money be lost, we can as
sure ourselves this university will not see another name
band for many a season. The Prom Committee brought
Count Basie to the campus and barely broken even.
The 'N' club signed Bob Strong and lost money. And
now the Union Is topping both of these parties; and
has made itself financially dependent on all daters get
ting dates and all students having dates for the 30th
spending the evening in the coliseum.
There are plenty of coeds who would like to attend;
there are plenty of men with the necessary money. This
party can be made a success. And if the school spirit and
love of good entertainment among the students is what
we think it is, that success is assured.

L. B. 192, relating to mileage expenses paid out of
state funds, has been advanced to select file by the legis
lature. Included in the bill is a section pertaining to the uni
versity. Specifically the act provides that no university
funds, tax created or otherwise, shall be disbursed for
traveling expenses In or out of the state unless the trip
is authorized in a written resolution adopted by the board
of regents. This resolution must state the purpose of the
trip and must be submitted to the Chancellor to be ap
proved by him in writing.
The measure also specifies that "traveling expenses"
is to be construed as including trips for student activity
purposes paid for out of such funds as the athletic as
sociation and Memorial Stadium funds.

With the fate of Greece decided the Nazis are re
ported already to be on the lookout for new fields of im
mediate conquest
Supposedly those fields will be in Asia Minor, where
lie the rich oil deposits of Iraq and- Iran. Immediately
affected, of course, are the Turks whose control over
the Dardcnelles s'.ands in the way of further German
eastward expansion as long as Turkey remains an ef
fective friend of the British in the Near East.
There is a strong possibility that the recent Balkan
debacle may have made it possible for Fritz von Papen,
to bring the Turks into the axis orbit. There are rumors
to the effect that von Papen's activities already have
born fruit in the form of Turkish promises of cooperation.
Rumors not so far-reaching as these, declare that
Germany has demanded complete military control of the
Dardennelles and the Bosphorus, and as a bribe is willing
to give the Turks a slice of Grecian Thrace.
Russia has long considered the Dardennelles region
an area most vital to her defense. There is no reason to
.believe that the Russians still do not hold this position.
Russian uneasiness regarding the German drive to
the east has been manifest recently in a number of ways.
There have been a number of protests in the Russian
press against the German activities in the Balkans, and
last week Russia was reported as demanding the north
ern provinces of Iran, "to protect the oil field of Baku."
Obvoiusly, the only ones against whom they could
be protecting these fields are the Germans.
However, though there are slight reasons for believ
ing that Russia's opportunistic policy of self-defense may
at last bring her into conflict with the Nazis; there are
Btrong reasons for believing the opposite.

teaches you to make the most of
your appearances. "Then we can
forget ourselves when we have ac
complished this and think about
the other person," she said.
Miss Mc Peek's work is some
thing entirely new. Her Job in
cludes traveling on the various
trains on the line to criticize food
and service on the diners and pas
senger cars. Sometimes she rides
other railroad lines to see what
their ideas are.
Many times she has been asked
the question, "What do you do to
earn your money?" Her answer
to this is, "I try to think." Miss
McPeek stated that it was much
harder to think of something that
could be done to remedy what is
already being done. This necessi
tates a thoro knowledge of the
railroad. In everything she trys
to keep the woman's viewpoint.
Women hold more positions in
the railroad service than the gen
eral public thinks positions from
typists and file clerks up to the
supervising job which Miss Mc
Peek holds.
