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.

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.

and other religious organizations exist. It is for
this reason that the Young Women's Christian As

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

Christian philosophy of life.
Part three deals with the ego

to whom the individual is sacred.

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.
