Band Day-Truly
It's Band Day at the University of Nebraska Sat
urday. When 25 high school bands join the University ot
Nebraska and University of Kansas bands at Me
morial stadium it will be a great day for the uni
versity. There is a reason why it will be such a
great day.
It will be remembered that four years ago when
Kansas played Nebraska here, the KU band came
to Lincoln in all its splendor, and the UN band
retired to the "bench" in its dull, blue-grey uni
forms. Since that time, Don Lentz, director of the
band for the past several years, has built up the
spirit of the Nebraska organization with excellent
direction and new scarlet and white uniforms lopped
by plumed hats. Last year the 120-piece band drew
high praise when it went along with the football
team to the Rose Bowl game.
After the Kansas-Nebraska game at Lawrence
last fall we heard a KU student say: "Well, maybe
the football team was beaten 53-2, but KU still has
the best band." We might have agreed four years
ago, but now we think we have a band that can
match or even better that of Kansas. It will truly
fee Band Day for Nebraska Saturday and not just
kecause the high school bands will be here to add
color to the game.
swimming. It I was a geese, I'd rather be a gan
der." 1931 "The cow is a dome tic animal all cov
ered with leather. Her tail which hangs at the
end, has a brush to shoo off flies. The calf Is a
calf until it has a calf and then it is a cow. The
cow has two horns, not blowable because it has
a mouth to roar with. It also has faucets with hot
and cold running milk. When the food is good
it gives good milk, but when it thunders she goes
sour."
Through rapid development, in 1937 I was deep
in the study of man, the pertinency of said study
well indicated by this excerpt from an essay en
titled, "Man, oh, Man" "All brutes are imperfect
animals. Man alone is a perfect beast. Man's
teeth consist of 8 canines, 8 cuspids, 2 molars and
8 cuspidors. The stomach is a bowl shaped cav
ity containing the organs of indigestion. The or
gans of respiration are the nose, the pynx, the
larynx, the treacher and the wind bag. The spinal
column is a collection of bones running up and
down your back and keeps you from being legs
clean up to your neck. Your head sits on tip of
the. spinal column, and you sit on the bottom."
1938 Still destiny's tot, I give up my study of
animals as a life's work for gin rummy and
women.

Children, as you know, are inherently interested
In animals. Regardless of the fact that as a child
my I. Q. was so low they couldn't find it, I had a
child's interest in wild life and animals. This is
clearly indicated by my earlier writings which also
fihow, as they go along, marked progress in com
prehension of biological and zoological mysteries.
In 1927 I wrote "Geese is a low heavy bird
which is most meat and feathers. Geese can't sing
much on account of the squawkers they got in
their necks. He ain't got no between-his-toes and
he's got a little balloon in his stummick to keep
him from sinking. Rome geese when they are big
has curls on their tails and is called ganders.

That Congress will consent to the arming of
American merchant vessels is now a foregone con
clusion since Senate and House leaders of both
houses have signified their assent to that much of
a change in the existing neutrality legislation. This
consent may well be attributed to the administra
tion's compromising on the prior desire for both
arming of such vessels and the lifting of belliger
ent zones within which our ships may not travel.
This the president could afford to do since he is
authorized, under the neutrality act of 1939, to de
termine the belligerent zones so affected. Obviously
he may also change these zones so as to exclude
certain areas from the operation of the prohibitions
upon merchant shipping. He cannot however affect
the prohibition that stops our vessels from visit
ing the ports of belligerent countries.
An example of the president's power to set up
and then change the designated belligerent zones
is the Red Sea area. For a time prior to the be
ginning of the Russian campaign this was considered
a belligerent zone and our merchant vessels were
not allowed to enter it. With the start of the Rus
sian campaign and the need of a route to supply
Russia, this zone was. lifted from the category of
belligerent zones and restored to a non-belligerent
rating.
Administration hopes that Congress may lift the
other restrictions still remain, and will be pressed
from the White House all thru the debate. This
chance will come if the "arming of merchant ves
sels" clause passes the House with a wide enough
majority; in that case it does so past it is likely
that the Senate foreign relations committee will
consider expanding the measure to exclude the pro
hibitions upon ship movements.
