Let's Have Some
Rose Boid Spirit
Remember last year when almost every student
in the university rallied all night and all the next
day after we found the football team had been in
vited to the Rose Bowl?
The Corn Cobs and Tassels, men and women's pep
organizations, are counting on some of that spirit
for tonights rally for the Iowa State game. Their
aim is to have one of the largest rallies in Ne
braska history to give the team a send-off to its
first game of the season.
The pep organizations, particularly the joint
committee composed of Dorothy Weirich, Betty
Boncbright, Fhyllis Cope, Phil Kantor, Max Laugh
lin and Bob Fast, have been working hard to ar
range for speakers and entertainment. Now it's the
student's turn to pitch in and give the team mem
bers the send-off they deserve.
Three acc-high speakers have been obtained for
the rally in the stadium Coach Major Biff Jones,
Line Coach Link Lyman and Game Captain Clar
ence Hcrndon. Loud speakers, fireworks, and cheer
leaders in full array will help to set the tempo for
pep. Weather permitting, the Varsity band will
play for the march from the Union to the
stadium. The peppers want as many students as
possible to gather at the Union because the larger
the crowd is to start, the more students can be
picked up on the way to the stadium.
Let's have some of that Rose Bowl spirit of last
year to start this year off right.
May Bomb Rome
Britain will bomb Rome if the necessity for It
arises, according to England's capable Prime Min
ister Winston Churchill. He went at length to point
this out in his speech to Parliament several days
ago in answer to critics who insisted that this
should be done. '
He went on to point out that the promise to
bomb Rome if Cairo was bombed had been carried
out since Cairo proper had not yet been so at
tacked. If Rome becomes a city of military im
portance it will not be spared by the RAF, but not
just for the effect on morale that such an attack
would have, Churchill pointed out.
This policy toward the bombing of Rome is in
line with all the bombing attacks that the RAF
has carried out over Europe, even in Germany.
These attacks have been confined to military ob
jectives alone, and even those attacks made on
Berlin have been mad upon the munitions factories
in the suburbs with the exception of one raid in
which a few bombs fell in the Wilhclmstrasse which
is the site of the German government buildings.
There is sufficient reason for the British to re
frain from retaliating for the indiscriminate bomb
ing of the British Isles. First and foremost of these
is the fact that it keeps the moral right of this war
on the British side.
Another important reason, I believe, for Britain's
refusal to bomb Rome is the fact that it is the seat
of the Vatican. The Catholic Church has not yet
taken an active stand in this war, but rumours from
Italy indicate that it is about to do so. The hope
that such would be the case would most certainly
be an influential factor in keeping the British from
bombing Rome and perhaps accidentally damaging
the Vatican City. If we can credit any of the
rumours coming from Rome with any truth, they
would be an excellent justification for the British
policy.
As I said Tuesday, the effect of the Catholic
Church tatfing a stand against the Axis, would be
of great importance and aid to the British cause.
It would have been very unwise for the English to
risk losing this possible source of strength by bomb
ing Rome just to shake civilian morale.
The failure to bomb Rome, when certain portions
of Cairo have been subjected to aerial attack, does
cause the British to lose a certain amount of pres
tige in the Near East, especially among the Moham
medans. This loss of face, however, is not nearly
as important as the possible gain that an alliance
with the Vatican would yield.
