Spirit-Up and Down
Is Husker spirit falling down?
In one of the biggest rallies of the university
history Friday night, students displayed an enthusi
asm which would send any team to victory. At the
game Saturday, however, Scarlet and Cream sup
porters must have left that spirit of the nifht be
fore home in some dark closet.
The small response given to the cheerleaders
at the game was discouraging and appalling. Why
don't Nebraska students take an active part in
cheering at the game? The cheerleaders were se
lected because they were capable of leading spirit.
The Husker support fell to a new low at the game
when students failed to cooperate.
Members of Corn Cobs and Tassels have done
an excellent job in carrying on noise and pep but
we can't invest all support with a small minority.
More active participation by every individual stu
dent is needed to show that we sincerely back Corn
husker teams.
In comparison to the bands and the high school
knothole sections, the students turned out to be
weak sisters Saturday. We need to show every vis
itor and fan who attend the games, that we are
a unified and loyal student body.
Nebraska can have this unified body. One fea
ture which will at least show visitors that we at
tend games even though they can't hear us is the
wearing of white shirts and sweaters by every mem
ber in the card section. The section would then
stand out and prove our support.
Most of all, however, is the need for more noise
and pep from all students. Let's all enter in. If we
show it at the rallies, we can show it at the games.
When Indiana meets the Huskers this week at
the annual Homecoming game, we can't let the
alumni down who are returning to see the old Ne
braska spirit. We can make them proud that they
returned to see an active and enthusiastic student
body who can shout their lungs out for one of the
finest football teams in the country.
We have the challenge of seventy former stu
dent bodies and thousands of former students to
meet and show that we are true Cornhuskers. We
can't let them down!

Behind the News
By David Thompson
Watch Archangel!
Rumor had it yesterday afternoon that a British
expeditionary force had landed at Archangel and
was preparing to go into action. If such is the case,
it is the Churchill answer to the many criticisms
that have come his way since the turn of events in
Russia of the last week. Archangel is in the very
far north of Russia, several hundred miles north of
Leningrad and a good many more miles, 700 to bo
exact, north of Moscow. What then will be the ad
vantage of landing an expeditionary force so far
from the actual Nazi drive in the central and south
ern part of Russia?
Russia has had to keep a good many first line
troops in this far northern bastion to keep the
Finns at bay and to keep open the far northern sea
lanes which supply the defenders of Leningrad. The
effect of a British drive starting there will allow
the Russians to shift comparatively fresh troops
from the north into the central danger zone, since
the British force will be competent to handle the
threat in the north.
More inportant than the mere release of troops
is the fact that such an expeditionary force will
preserve the supply line to Russia by the White
sea, and will protect the vital Murmansk-Leningrad
railroad and perhaps lift the siege on beloagured
Leningrad. In all events it will relieve a good deal
of the German pressure on the Moscow front and in
so doing slow down the German drive enough so
that the near Russian winter can arrive before Rus
sia's resistance is shattered.
The effect in Britain alone will be noteworthy.
The Churchill administration has been vigorously
attacked in Parliament and in the press of late be
cause of its inactivity in relation to the crisis in
Russia. The fall of the Churchill cabinet would suit
the Germans fine. In fact it has been stated by au
thorized sources in Berlin that the removal of
Churchill and Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden is
one of the war aims of the Hitler government.
However dissatisfied the British press and Parlia
mentary sources may be with the British inactivity,
the Germans still fear the Churchill government
and with good reason. Under Churchill the English
turned from a discouraged and nearly beaten people
into the most serious threat to a Nazi cleanup in
Europe.
The Archangel undertaking is a daring one to
say the least, but the value of it will more than
offset the risks being taken.
"Public opinion polls on the attitude of Amer
ican citizens toward the war represent one of the
privileges of a free country. In view of the oppor
tunity and privilege inherent in a public opinion poll,
it is extremely important to maintain the sponta
neity, representativeness and truth of these polls.
The polls conducted by Galloup and Fortune maga
zine are regarded by competent experts as polls
conducted with great integrity and with scientifo
procedures. Congressman Stephen A. Day recently
sent to me, among others, the following ballot: 'The
United States should enter the war ; Stay
out of the war .' This post card request for
an opinion on the war situation is of the same cate
gory as the following: 'Have you stopped beating
your wife? Answer yes or no." In other words,
the way the question was worded loaded the dice of
reply. Either the question was phrased as printed
because of ignorance of the principle that answers
can be predetermined by the way the question is
formulated or the question was phrased in order to
get the kind of reply desired. This amateurish ef-

Education seems to be develop-.
ing an increasing interest in con
crete plans for the world after the
war, even though peace is not in
sight. At the New School for So
cial Research scholars of the Uni
versity in Exile have for months
worked on a "blueprint for peace,"
and now the state has granted to
the New School a charter for a
graduate school which in the
words of Dr. Alvin Johnson " has
been placed in a position to set up
what is virtually an international
school of political and social sci
ence closely knit to the practical
economic, social and political prob
lems of the times."
Other distinguished scholars
continue to urge the colleges to
take a long look ahead to the time
of reconstruction. President Bow
man of Johns Hopkins is one of
these. The colleges themselves are
presenting authorities in various
political and economic fields to
their students. And now President
Wriston of Brown university, who
always to be heard with respect,
has urged the establishment of a
new government division to study
the problems of peace on the same
plane that the problems of war are
studied in the army and navy war
colleges.
Dr. Wriston would set up the
proposed new division as an arm
of the department of state to act
as an agency for the professional
training of diplomats and other
foreign service men on a level not

Even the professors have difficulty at the start
of the year. Professor Blood of the advertising pro
fessor Bloods kept saying "Mr. Misspell" as he
called roll in one of his classes. Finally Dick Nispel
decided he was Mr. Misspell. Mr. Blood decided that
all students should learn to write legibly on their
class cards to do away with constant "Misspell
ings."

Most ice boxes hold such things as bacon, to-
matoes and butter but the ice box at Bessey.hall
proves that there are exceptions to every rule or
this particular ice box has instead of bacon, i
skunk; instead of tomatoes, several dozen mice
and instead of butter, an armadillo.
For appetizers this ice box has four well frozen
snakes, plenty of white rats and for special occa
sions a kangaroo rat. Then there are such things
as an occasional woodchuck, a raccoon or a cotton
tail rabbit. All of which makes very interesting
eating or does it?

fort- to collect evidences of public opinion illustrates
the danger of attempts to conduct a poll by inex
perienced people. As stated the question will get
only a reply, 'Stay out of the war,' because that is
the only answer a reasonable person could make to
the question as phrased. The returns from the type
of ballot sent out will be completely unreliable and
unrepresentative of opinion." F. Stuart Chapin
chairman of the University of Minnesota depart
ment of sociology, warns against snap judgments
based on so-called opinion polls ACP.

possible in any of the existing
schools of diplomacy and foreign
relations.
"The only chance that the fruits
of victory may be less bitter than
gall," he continues in his book,
"Prepare for Peace," published by
Harper & Brothers, "is through
foresight, through careful atten
tion to the shape of things to
come. To insist that thought must
wait until the war's end is to deny
any meaning to the war at all.
The entire technical section of tlw
American delegation to the coin
ing peace conference should be
organized in skeleton outline at
once." Dr. Wriston points out that
if the task of the special division
is well done there would be full
assurance that the plenipotenti
aries to the future conference
would be well advised. "There '
would be available to the commis
sions and committees not only ex
perts but men experienced in dip
lomatic protocol and the exigen
cies of negotiation. It would not
be necessary to transform scholars
overnight into negotiators and
drafting officers, as at Paris after
the last war."
This is all part of the growing
appreciation of the importance of
the tasks lying ahead of educa
tion. Dr. Johnson has a word to say
from a somewhat different point
of view in the Journal of Adult
Education. Dealing with youth and
democracy, he asserts that "we
do not have an educational Betup
that gives us the inherent strength
to meet the forces of evil the
forces of evil revolution, rolling
back toward barbarism, now
abroad in the world. We are not
equipping our youth to take their
part in the defense of civilization.
They foolishly think that there
are short cuts to happiness." Thus
on various fronts education is look
ing forward both through practi
cal preparation for concrete tasks
and through redefinition of ideals
without which nothing is practical
in the long run. W. A. MacDon
ald in the New York Times.
