Council Wakes Up,
Plans Constructive Program
The Student Council is planning a highly con
structive program for the year and the various com
mittees are working on their projects now. The
Daily Nebraskan is particularly interested in four
f these projects and will work on them in conjunc
tion with the Student Council. They are:
1. Publicizing the university throughout the
state.
2. Improving housing conditions for men by
helping establish additional cooperative houses.
3. Improving working conditions for men stu
dents. 4. Sponsoring forms on international and na
tional fu fairs to get rid of a tendency among uni
versity students toward the provincial attitude.
Hei etoiore much of what people out in the state
have known about the university and its students
has been hearsay and often unfavorable hearsay.
The council and the Nebraskan hope, by publicity in
the form of radio programs and publications, to
j.ive Nebraskans favorable information about the
university. The council will work with the alumni
association to create interest among graduates ot
the university and class spirit among the students.
In continuing its work on housing and working
conditions the council hopes to make life more
pleasant and healthy for the many young men who
must undergo adverse circumstances while at
tending school. The purpose of the national and
international forums will be to stimulate student in
terest in affairs outside of the narrow circle of the
university and the state.
With these and other projects now being
planned, the council seems to have awakened from
the dormant state of "doing nothing." Many times
before the council has shown signs of waking up,
but this time we hope it stays awake and realiy
does something. We're sure this year's council will.
YM Tries Something New
To promote a closer understanding between fac
ulty and students" is the purpose of discussion
groups planned by the university YMCA, men's re
ligious and services organization. We're all for this
sort of thing because in such a large institution as
the university students often attend classes without
ever finding out what "good fellows" their profes
sors really are.
Kach YM cabinet member will plan a forum to
which he will invite an interested professor and
a number of men and women students picked at
random from the student directory. The group
will then meet and discuss topics of mutual interest.
It's something new and something which ought to
be interesting to every student invited to take part.
Rain, Rain. More rain. Nebraska's large con
tingent came home from the Iowa State drenched
but . happy with the 14-0 score. Despite the constant
rain at Ames we enjoyed the beautiful campus and
fine hospitality at the Iowa school.

Speaking of football, congratulations are due
UN students for the huge turnout at the rally
Thursday evening. The students displayed some of
the Rose Bowl spirit that ended last year's football
season to start this season out right.

We thought we'd heard all the usual tunny
stories about freshmen for this year, but we were
wrong. It seems a few of the Sig Alph actives
stalled to the library with one f their new pledges
the other night. When they reached the site of the
new library they remarked: "Oh, it isn't finished
yet." The new pledge turned around and went borne.
rag
Then there was ' the freshman who had two
classes scheduled for 9 a. m. Tuesday. The first
week of school he went to one and the next week
he went to the other one. After that he didn't know
what to do so members of the Nebraskan staff
took pity on him and sent him over to the Junior
Division to get the matter straightened out.
Behind the News
By David Thompson
Hitler's attempt to doublecross his Japanese
partner met with a rebuff last week when China,
to whom the offer of aid was made, immediately
countered by asking Britain for more supplies and
munitions.
It seems that Germany attempted to draw China
away from her alliance with Britain by offering
Chiang-Kai-Shek the possibility of independence in
the event of a Genua a victory in this war. That
obviously would conflict with Japanese anticipations
of an axis victor'.
What will be the Japanese reaction to the Ger
man move? Tei-haps if Hitler assured the Nip
ponese that it would have been nothing more nor
less than one more agreement that they had no in
tention of keeping, then the Japs would not be a
bit concerned. However, it seems to me that it
would provoke more of a suspicion that perhaps
the Japanese attachment to the Axis was the agree
ment that was slated for the waste basket In any
event it will not serve as a hindrance to further
U. S. efforts to draw the Japanese away from the
Axis. Perhaps that was what Germany was an
ticipating when she broached the subject of an al
liance to China. Japan has long been following a
policy of expediency in regard to foreign affairs.
As hopes for a German victory, with further U. S.
aid or participation on the side of the Eritish and
Russians, wane, so will the ties that hold Japan to
the Axis also wane.
Humors ot a naval engagement olf the coast ol
Brazil in the vicinity of Rio de Janeiro bring the
question as to what forces were involved. One's
first reaction would of course be that it was the
British and the German naval forces. Perhaps that
was the case, but another possibility comes to mind.
It is known that American patrol vessels are criss
crossing the south Atlantic in search of the Nazi
raider that sank the I. C. White last week. If they
found it. we can rest assured that the raider was
dealt with competently and not by the use of mere
warnings. Whatever powers were concerned it still
illustrates the fact that the war isn't all on the
other (side of the Atlantic

lowed only five gallons of gasoline
per person per month. Even with
these restrictions, the citizens
gladly comply because they real
ize that the future of their coun
try depends upon it, the speaker
said.
The people are all rationed
equally regardless of position,
wealth, or property. The million
sire receives no more than the
pftuper, and there is no class dis
tinction viisble. Even the Queen
has stated that the wi'l comply
with these regulations and will
ask for no more than 66 coupons,
the usual number issued to each
person.
England has a great importa
tion problem. In comparison with
the importations of New York
state, England imports three times
as many tons of feeding stuff for
their livestock. With this great im
portation it was a great shock
when Britain's minister of agri
culture announced to the farmers
that no more of these food stuffs
could be imported because the
ships were needed to carry muni
tions and food for the army.
This meant that the English
farmer was going to have to raise
all of this food on. his own farm.
To cope with this situation, the
government ordered that the pas
tures be plowed. The first winter
two million acres were to be
plowed; the second winter the
same number were to be plowed.
In order to do this, machinery was
needed; so in a very short time
90,000 tractors were at woik on
the farms.
