Unjust Persecution
Last Monday we heard about several hot-headed South Amer
icans who took it upon themselves to beat up on some Japanese stu
dents at Columbia university in New York City, fellow residents of
theirs at International House, after they heard of Japan's attack. When
we heard this, we thought that the action of the South Americans was
unjustifed. We have now heard that certain students on this campus
have taken it upon themselves to verbally persecute certain other stu
dents of Japanese descent. Such persecution is unjust not only because
the Americanized Japanese in this country have pledged their full sup
port to the United States government, but also because even those
Japanese in this country who actively show their allegiance to the
Japanese government should be taken in hand by the proper authori
ties. It is dificult enough for Americanized Japanese, Germans, and
Italians to see their native countries at war against the country to
which they now are loyal. Why should the citizens of free United
States make it even more difficult for them by unjust persecution?
Thrice Armed
The feeling has arisen in some minds that United States belli
gerency against Japan may be partly because of a sense of raciaJ su
periority. The answer is that the belligerency cannot be caused by any
Mich feeling. A letter from Dean C. H. Oldfather expresses the answer
very well, we think:
Jo the editor of the Daily Nebraskan:
In this time of war between the white and the brown races there
may be some who feel a little scruple lest the anger of our country be
heightened by a sense of racial superiority. My own feelings on the
iniquitous course the Japanese military clan has been carrying on for
nearly ten years now in East Asia have been comforted by the fol
lowing words which the Indian poet, Rabindranath Tagore, shortly be
fore his death this year wrote to the Japanese poet, Yone Noguchi.
These are Ta gore's words to his old friend:
T can no longer point out with pride the example of a great Ja
pan... One day the disillusionment of your people will be complete,
and thru laborious centuries they will have to clear the debris of their
civilization, wrought to ruin by their own war lords run amuck... I
wish your people whom I love, not success, but remorse."
Altho four-fifths of the inhabitants of the world are lined up
against the Axis, it is undoubtedly true, as Mr. Churchill warns us,
that one-fifth of the world if it has the implements of war can rule
the four-fifths. These material implements we are gathering and will
continue to gather with all speed. We shall, of course, fret at the de
lay in securing thorn but it will be gratifying to be able to console
ourselves while material resources are being assembled with the con
viction that "Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just."
. .C. H. Oldfather.

Wins National
Judging Test
Vern Kerchberger, senior in ag
ricultural college, placed first in
the National Meat Judging contest
last week in Chicago as a member
of the university meat judging
team. He received 840 points out
of a possible 900, the highest score
ever obtained by a Nebraska man.
The contest waa held at the In
ternational Livestock Show in
Chicago and was sponsored by the
National Meat Board. Fourteen
teams were present at the contest.
Other members of the university
meat judging team were Ray
Crawford and John Schick.
Also at the livestock show in
Chicago was the university live
stock team. They placed eleventh
in the livestock contest while
twenty-eight teams representing
other colleges participated. The
members of the livestock team
were Carl Ervin, John Schick, Mil
lard Ickes, Vern Kerchberger, and
Orif Corman.

rate programs will be offered by
the engineering department. They
will be the elementary, secondary,
cross-country and flight-instructor
programs. The elementary pro
gram will be divided into the
ground school course and the
flight course. The ground school
course will consist of 72 class
hours of instruction in civil air
regulations, navigation, meteorol
ogy, and general service of air
craft. The flight instruction will
be made up of a minimum of 35
hours of flight instruction in dual,
solo, precision and cross-country
flying.
Secondary Program.
In the secondary program the
ground school will consist of 108
hours of instruction in aircraft,
instruments, parachutes, aerial
navigation, radio, engines, propel
lers and accessories. Forty hours
of advanced flying will make up
the flight instruction.
After the successful completion
of the elementary course three
credit hours and a private pilot's
certificate or license will be
awarded to the student. Six credit
hours and a diploma which will
permit one to take a flight test
for the 2-S rating which qualifies
him for the cross-country course
will be the reward on the satis
factory completion of the sec
ondary course. After the termina
tion of the cross-country and in
structors courses the student will
be qualified for his commercial
certificate and primary instruc
tor's rating.
Beginning next semester, fees
charged for the courses will be
lowered. In the elementary course
the fee will be $19 covering the
physical examination and neces
sary insurance. The fee in the sec
ondary course will amount to $31
which also covers insurance and
examination.
It has been stated by Professor
Haney that a student does not
have to be an engineering stu
dent or major in any science
course. According to Professor
Haney many students have suc
cessfully completed the course
without previously taking mathe
matics or chemistry in the uni
versity.

Coetls Believe in 'Unusual' Corsages
BY HELEN KELLEY.
Just to be different some girls
will stoop to anything that is,
they will send anything, just any
thing, as a corsage to the Black
Masque ball Saturday night.
For instance, we have heard
about the girls who are sending
strings of colored cones and they
expect to get them back for dec
orations for their rooms.
Perenially good are little
bunches of cactus plants. The
donor must send a note with them
saying "Who's stuck now?" or
"Let's get together over this" or
some other such foolish thing.
Onions, Perhaps.
Paper flowers, Christmas dec
orations, vegetables (preferably
onions) and signs can always be
worked up into something clever.
Last year angels flew hither and
yon. This year wonaer it mere
will be any little devils with horns,
pitchfork and long red tails?
In way of a suggestion if you
are going with a pledge of a cer
tain fraternity why not send him
a big yel well, off shade of
orange, bow tie for his curley
locks?

about is if some enterprising
young lady isn't going to find a

Nice corsages will be sent by the

Say it with Flowers.
At Indiana they do It differently.
Their corsages are all flowers, but
with a meaning. And so we sug

Mistletoe means kiss me again.

Sweetheart roses mean true

roses, beginning to care; talisman
roses, fading love; yellow mums,
slightly tipsy; white mums, con
