Religion and YWCA The university YWCA, which starts its annual membership drive this week,' is the only campus organization which does religious work among wom en students, outside of the student organizations of the various religious denominations. The YWCA tries particularly to help freshmen and other new women students by conducting freshman commis sions and personal relations groups. The organiza tion also teaches practical and humanitarian work which such activities as knitting and art groups and social sen-ice staffs. To carry on this work the YWCA must have money. Part of its yearly budget it receives from the Lincoln community chest, but the remainder the YWCA must raise itself. Membership in the YWCA is open to all women students and may be obtained by pledging a small sum of money to be paid in as many installments as the new member desires. Cabinet members and other members anxious for a successful YWCA program on the campus this year will, for the next two weeks attempt to contact all freshman women and other new students, asking them to become members. If she is not contacted by a Y worker, any student is welcome to sign up at the Y office in Ellen Smith hall. Not only is she welcome at this time, but she is welcome at any time during the year for advice, help or for fun. Ballots Show Student Interest in Uni Theatre Approximately 1,000 students turned in ballots marked with their play preferences in the Univer sity Theater's poll Wednesday, Thursday and Fri day. This student interest is encouraging to offi cials in their campaign to make the theater an "all-out student activity." All those interested in the University Theater are anxious that the same interest will be shown when the Tassels start their annual drive to sell season tickets for the plays, chosen by students, that will lo produced during the year by the theater. Religion should play a major part in the life ol Russians Won't Quit Russia intends to keep on fighting. That much seems clear as reports coming from the diplomatic centers of eastern Europe and the near east state that Russia has turned down an armistice agree ment proposed by the Germans. From all indica' tions, the armistice offer was very similar to that given the French in May, 1940. That would no doubt mean the occupation by the Germans of the Rus sian Ukraine and the Caucasus oil fields. Four months ago, if this present Russian situa tion had been hypothetically put up to us, we would have been sure that Russia would accept a chance to get out of a war that was costing her so much, both in manpower and resources. Our thoughts about Russia then did not do that courageous na tion justice. Her showing in the Finnish campaign and our conviction that a competent army couldn't exist under communism had much to do with our estimate of Russian military might and morale. It was the Finnish campaign that convinced the' Russians that their system of political commissars and equality of rank in the army was dangerous. Largely due to the diligence of Marshall Timo shenko the Russian army was completely reorgan ized. Separate messes for men and officers and the in troduction of compulsory obeyance of orders with out appeal were but a few of the changes made. As a result, the efficiency of the Russian army in creasea immeasurably. Reports coming directly from foreign correspondents at the front indicate that the Russian army is on the whole a young, well disciplined group whose morale is of the finest. As a result of Russia's refusal of the armistice Germany is renewing pressure upon Bulgaria to ac lively enter this war. It puts Bulgaria in a bad po sition and indicated, better than anything else, the staggering losses that the Germans have received in the first three months of the Russian campaign. Popular uprisings in Croatia have reached tremen dous proportions in past weeks. Their threatened effect was so great in fact that Germany sent dive bombers to destroy an unnamed Serbian city of 12, 000 which has been the traditional center of Serbian intellectual and patriotic movements for many years. It was an undefended city and the thousands of wholly quiescent residents were not warned. It is coming to the point in the occupied countries and in Germany itself, thit the residents cannot even think. every individual. It is for this reason that churches and other religious organizations exist. It is for this reason that the Young Women's Christian As sociation exists. Col berg . . .

As you drove thru Lon don that first afternoon you saw the people of that huge city pre paring to defend themselves against attack by the enemy from the air. Stationary above and around that whote city were the barrage balloons Tike huge birds of steel, a device which every one felt would keep the Nazi air force out of the capital city. These, however, were a complete failure during the blitzkrieg air warfare in Septem ber, 1940. Both men, women and children were busying themselves piling sandbags high up the sides of air important buildings entrcly disregarding the fact that it was Sunday. Lights Out. A seemingly complete transfor mation ut the city took place with in the next few days; everywhere signs appeared indicating the clos est entrance to an air raid shelter. Sandbags were as new facades placed on all important buildings, and above all the most important thing, complete blackout at sunset every evening. At this hour every light had to be darkened so the city looked as though no ligiit would ever be seen in the gay capi tal.

Every stop light was covered with the exception of a little slit one-half inch long and one-fourth inch wide, while the car fenders, running boards and also the backs of the cars had to be painted white.

Dr. Pfeiler has drunk deeply of that source." Historical, Ideological. The first part of the book pre sents the historical and ideological background of present day Ger many. The second deals with war time works with special emphasis placed on letters written by Ger man students who died in action in World War I. The letters show how the students tried to "square" their deeds as soldiers with a sat isfactory Weltanschaung or a Christian philosophy of life. Part three deals with the ego centric writers of war experiences to whom the individual is sacred. To thorn all life and society is organized for the welfare of the individual, and war is to be elim inated. Part four presents the eth nocentric authors to whom the in dividual is of concern only inso far as he is a member of a greater ethnic or national whole.

Although tbo Tassels voted against handling the theatre sales last spring, the apparent renewed student inlerest served as incentive to vole for the campaign this fall. Campaign Extends Off Campus. With emphasis this year primarily upon student parth-ipa-mil, the sales drive will be centered mainly on the campus, fowever, business sections of the town will be covered and lownshcoidc will be contacted. The result of the balloting clearly shows the type of plays the students and public want in Ihc wav of dramatic entertain- nciit. "With such enthusiastic interest which has so far been shown, the Theatre endeavors 1o present these plays in the lighost and most acceptable style of production, comparable to the best amateur productions in the country," says the director of the University Theatre, Paul Jiogen. !3UNL!a The PLAYS YOU CHOSE For THE UHIVERSITY yiP?io) UUL buy a TEKJlE y mm THEATRE'S 27th Season East Lynne Prologue to Glory Androcles and the Lion Middletown Mural Arsenic and Old Lace Campaign Opens Tuesday 5 Plays of Your Choice Established Price $2.00 Tax .20 SEE A TASSEL Steps 2 .20 From the Campus Since 1886 Total
