Authorized September 30, 1922. A Day of Example And Significance . . . Nine years ago yesterday, the United States Agreed to grant final independence to the Philippines in 194b'. Altho the war may have interrupted the normal procedure as planned, the history of the Philippines in this century certainly provides a pattern for the future of other small nations "a pattern," according to President Roosevelt, of a glolial civiliza tion which recognizes no limitations of reli gion or of creed or of race." The Philippines have won their independ ence; and they, have earned independence. They have prepared themselves for independ ence; that is why Ihe V. S. has chosen to give independence to them. The recent history of the Philippines, prior to its invasion, has been one of nalional co operation and adjustment and development. The V. 8. government has evidently chosen the right course. The pattern of procedure thus far followed has been typical of Ihe philosophy and ideals of the 1'nited Nations. Kconomie and po litical problems have been discussed and met; the highest form of good failh exists between the two governments. There is a realistic symbol of grim determi nation and supreme confidence that the .Japa nese army shall be driven out of the Philip pines to the last man. Yesterday signifies the day on which inde pendent was voted to the Philippines. Yes terday also signifies ihe day on which a sin cere and fair colonial policy was exemplified. Dear Editor: 1, loo, am all in favor of bliss on ag cam pus, but your editorial Sunday calls for re buttal. And, incidentally, must you call it 'pastoral bliss" in subtle reference to the mistaken but common conception of ag as "cow college," a sort of stepchild of the" uni versity 7 Our own faculty, by its attitude, segregates lis from the rest of our university. Yet we are part of it. Why must we be governed in a dif ferent manner? Not, .Mr. Editor, bet ause we haven't enough to do! Anyone who has had classes in home economics can teslify that they are not pipes. On the contrary, ' home ec courses require as much outside work and nearly twice as many hours in class per credit hour as do other academic subjects. Then there arc home projects to be done during our well earned vacations. Anyone who has had classes on both campuses knows that home ec stu dents are no less responsible lhaii downtown students. "Were the faculty of both campuses 1o compare attendance records, I think ihose of ag campus would not show unfavorably. We do not ask license to cut classes freely. Many of us are working hard to support our sclevs in college. Would we make Ihe effort 1o earn our education the hard way were we not serious and intent of purpose? No, we do not object to '(Mending classes if they are worthwhile. What we resent is ihe implica tion of the rules which reflect upon our ma in nil y and intelligence. Pike the mice in the fable, who wanted the eat 1o wear a bell, wariung of his ap proach, we Matit the home ec teachers to know eur feelings on this matter. No mouse dared to hang the bell, for obvious reasons; for equally obvious reasons, no student dares ex- press the group opinion save, in the anonymity of such letters as this. Until student repre sentatives can meet to discuss the matter with faculty representatives, devoid of the power to make or break us scholastically, collective bar paining is impossible. Until then we remain in submissive discontent. Let bliss return to ag campus, but not at the price of our self-respect, Another Home Ec Student. Dear Editor: We of the football squad wish to express appreciation to your sports editor, Norris Andevson, who through sheer writing talent . has kept alive sports interest in this school throughout a dull year. His plan to play Missouri is the best thing V...- Mail Clippings Pat Chamberlin, Censor DAN POIU'OCK, who is attending UN has enlisted at Ihe Kansas City division Cadet Selection board as an apprentice seaman, V- in the Naval Peserve. As soon as he becomes 8 years old he will be transferred to ('lass V-r naval aviation cadet, and will begin training leading to a commission as a flying officer in either Ihe Naval Peserve of the .Marine Corps Peserve. Dan is a member of the Pershing Pifle.s crack squad. V-Mail would like to finish that letter we promised yesterday from LLOYD LONDON, former Dolt hcie, and now an apprentice sea man at Northwestern Universily, Chicago: "... Reached Chicago a week ago and they've really been putting us thru the paces. We're opprentice seamen for a month, mid shipmen for three months, and then Ensigns ! I hope. "KING SPITTLER, another Delt from Ne braska, and I are in the same room. HAROLD HUNT and PHILIP GREEDY are just down the hall, and MARV THOMPSON and CHA LOUPKA are over in another building. "Confidentially, I'm stiff and sore from all the exercises they put us thru; and I have a blister from some new shoes. ... Up &l 6:20 a. m. and to bed at 10:15 p. m. "Well lots of luck in everything. I'll tell you now that you won't miss dear old Ne. braska 'til you're gone." Alcove Book Notes that has happened to our foolball squad. All of us foolball men want the game for two reasons: (1) We will be gone next fall. (2) We'd like another crack at Missouri. At lendance at practices has been punk. Our big hope is for this spring game: please keep plug ging on it. FOUR N MEN. (Editor's Note: You keep plugging, and we'll keep plugging God help Missouri.) Is or should college be "training for life?" A student was working at a filling station. He was late quile a few limes. His fellow students said, "Don't they say anything to you?" lie replied. "They never have yet." Less than a week later, he was released. The company was not obligated to warn .him. neither did they have 1 toleiale his atlilude toward promptness. Another boy (not a student) wiw laid off for two weeks because he failed time and again to open Ihe filling slat ion on time on his days to open it. He had warnings, hut thev did not --take." A university girl agrees to lake care of a child one eveninsr. but forgets and goes to a show. Another forgets twice that she had obli gated herself to care for a child. Another comes late when it definitely affects the obli gations of ihe family concerned to pick up an other couple 1o allend a lecture. A father brought his son for an interview concerning attendance at the University of Ne braska. The son inquired about the passing grade. When told it was GO, ihe father said, "In my business a man would not be retained very long if his work wasn't a great deal bet ter than sixty percent." The personnel-manager of a Lincoln store said that a large percentage of applicants are eliminated without interview because they do not follow directions in filling out the appli cation. Others are eliminated on account of lack of courtesy or manners shown during the interview. Others fail during the probation period because they do not learn to follow di rections in filling out 1he sales slip. t Only under shortage of labor conditions such as prevail now will business tolerate what instructors are expected (by a few' students) to overlook regularly in their classes. When a student pays fees to the Univer sity, he also obligates himself to conform to policies and regulations therein. He is not obligated to remain when he finds them too strict for his type of personality. P. S. Did you read the "Sneak Preview of OCS Reveals 'Strict Discipline' " in Fri day's Rag! It will be difficult for some KHCs, WAACs, et al, to take. Others will make the adjustment rapidly. C. C. Minteer. Associate Professor of Vocational Education. BY BOB WILKINS. In his realistic story "Bombs Away," John Steinbeck tells the personal story of six typical men in th Army Air Force. His story includes the home background, the training, and the duties of each man in the bomber crew. In addi tion to the story there are many photographs by John Swope. The central figure of "Mrs. Parkington" by Louis Bromfield is, of course, the old lady herself. Now in her elegant eighties, but still vigorous. Mrs. Parkington di rects her world from her huge Park Avenue apartment. She is occupied by supporting her causes, entertaining regally, and submitting to the problems raised by four generations of Parkingtons. As the story moves we get the high spots of Mrs. Parkingtons life, from her girl hood in Nevada to her old age in New York. Pioneer Hardships. LeGrand Cannon, Jr. in his his torical novel, "Look to the Moun tain," tells the story of Whit and Melissa, who in 1769 left the peaceful Connecticut commu nity to endure the pioneer hard ships farther north. Gradually a new American community grew up and Whit prospered in the good crops of his farms and the friend ship of his neighbors. When he heard that Indians were being enlisted to fight against the Americans in the Revolution ary War. he decided to fight to protect his home and his commu nity. World Peace Books.

Special Service 'Signals' News To Servicemen A special news service which gets news thru to the soldiers In Africa as fast as the civilian in America knows it has been started by the army spec! a serv ice division, services of supply, the war department announced. Using Signal corps facilities, a 2,000 word summary of war, sports and home front development is now prepared daily and trans mitted to American outposts where soldiers do not have other access to United States news. A second service for various do mestic points is expected to be in augurated soon.
