Dear Fred . . .
We, the Pupae:
He, the Imago.
The Nebraskan staff, always willing to assimilate any jour
nalistic knowledge presented to them, looked with interest at
the comments of Fred Ware, sports editor of the Omaha World
Herald, in this column yesterday.
Editor Ware has earned a reputation in his region for his
excellent sports writing. Upper classmen should still remem
ber the grade school boys selling the copies of his really com
prehensive "Fifty Years of Football" on sale in front of the
coliseum two years ago during Nebraska's Rose Bow year, the
fifty-first season.
They should still remember his write-ups of those games,
and those of last season. Most of those who read his comments
n last Saturday's game should remember that, too. The Ne
braskan sports editor did, writing to that effect.
Yesterday, Ware's column was devoted in part to calling
ciown ine ieurasKan sports editor tor "propagandizing" with
regard to the outcome of the Iowa game.
Seeminelv. what Mr. Ware thono-ht tho
was a thorough tongue-lashing of the team. They did lose; Ne
braska's teams have lost quite a few games during those "Fifty
Jfears ot Football, have won many, too.
In effect, what Mr. Ware wras doing in those two or three
paragraphs (referring to "pupa-stage journalists of that
propaganda organ the Nebraskan") amounted to light criti
cism ot slnli members abilities and policy.
As to those abilities: We are the pupae, Fred Ware the
Imago that much is granted.
As to the propaganda: Was it not Mr. Ware who, as late
as last season, waxed so eloquently, so poetically, so almost
teartuny in nis sports columns toiiowmg each oi .Nebraska s
losses last year?
Each Ncbraka football player, the render gathers, in look
ing over the files, was, in effect, "a scariet-clad warrior, beaten
into the sod time and again fighting his heart out through the
dusk of a long autumn afternoon never giving up until the
final gnn sounded.
Is that the way the players wanted it to sound? Does Mr.
Ware who definitely didn't blame the coaches think the
team wasn't playing its best at Iowa City last Saturday?

Another Service . . .
Discovering a definite need for an activities' calendar on
this campus, the Daily Nebraskan, as a special service to both
faeulty and students, is printing one in todays' issue. In years
past, the extension division has distributed such calendars but
this year was unable to because of the limited budget.
This special service has been made available to all students.
The manner in which this service is received will indicate to us
whether or not, we should extend such other special services
to the student body at large through this paper. We are anxious
to serve the needs of both the faculty and student body in
every way possible and are open for suggestion for any such
services 8S we may fail to give.
Students and organizations should keep copies of today's
paper, since this calendar will prove invaluable throughout the
year. Tack it on the wall as a constant reminder of coming
events. .

Constitution . .
The Constitution of the United States is able to meet the
pruuirms oi mooern me because the Supreme Court is using
modern methods in making its decisions. This is "judicial
statesmanship of the highest order," declares Robert E. Cush
man, professor of government at Cornell university in a new
pamphlet titled What's Happening to Our Constitution? and
published by the Public Affairs committee.
The changed outlook of the court is not tho result of the
whims of new and younger judges, Writes Frofessor Cushman
We must remember that the National Labor Relations act and
the Social Security act were upheld before any Roosevelt ap
pointe sat on the Court. "This revolution in the Court's
method of work has come as a result of the application of a
philosophy which runs back over 40 years and is most closely
associated with the names of Holmes and Brandeis."
With sound legal knowledge to support his views, Cush
man traces the development of the important theories prac
ticed by these jurists.
At one time the judicial process was governed by a me
chanical "slot-machine" theory. It was generally held that
the courts' task was to apply never-changing rules to each case,
as tho all they had to do was to put the facts of a case in a
slot on top and draw out the correct decision below. This view
has gradually given way to the new idea that social conditions
may be an important factor in determining a law's constitu
tionality. This new idea was first presented in, the famous
"Brandeis brief" of 1908, in support of Oregon's ten-hour law
for women, which contained only two pages of legal argument
and 100 pages of expert opinion on the bad effects of overwork
on women.
This type of argument made the methods of the Supreme
Court more flexible. The Court still finds it "desirable to fol
low precedent when the situation in which a rule is to be ap
plied is like the old one in which the rule developed," but there
is no longer a slavish bowing to earlier decisions.
It was Justice Holmes who first applied, especially to so
cial legislation, the theory that "the legislature should enjoy
a large freedom to make mistakes of policy and judgment" and
that "the courts should step in only when unconstitutionality
is abundantly clear." The Supreme Court has been won over
to this view by degrees.
Professor Cushman reviews in detail how staees' rights
gave way to a strong central government how the federal
power over interstate commerce has been extended to include
practically all of the nation's business how there has been a
growth of federal police power to protect the nation's social
if
wenare.
In summarizing, the author declares that "we W? not
feel that these constitutional changes, startling as some of them
may seem, reflect disloyalty to the founding fathers . . . They
would be he firstt to scorn the constitutional nreRtrr wnmi.in
which would deny to the dynamic constitutional system created
in 1789 the vitality and flexibility necessary to make it an ade
quate basis for efficient 20th century government."
