Recognizing Scholarship
Since the outbreak of the war and tlie more recent impact
cf the war on the university, the real impression of higher edu
cation is being fVlt.
Students arc learning that not extra-curricular activities
r social life or playing constitute university; for they are
seeing the importance of those once essential pastimes diminish.
Everybody knows that parties aren't what they used to
be; a one-second glance reveals the pathetic disinterest, on the
whole, in extra-curricular activities.
"With the nrjiversity once more an institution of higher
learning, it is quite appropriate that those students who have
t-teod out in the process of learning should be honored.
That is why those students who were elected to Phi Beta
Kappa and Sigma Xi Tuesday night should be congratulated.
That is why those students who will be cited at honors con
vocation April 20 deserve high tribute.
The traditional honors convocation, highlighted this year
by a speaker of national renown, should represent the time
when every university student, not just those who are being
honored, should indicate that they recognize the red purpose
of the university, and fine effort of their classmates.
Every student should attend the honors convocation
April 20.
Safety Deposits
The plan of Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau for post
Tvar stabilization of international currencies helps fill a large
hole in present post war planning. Until now, wc have been
bearing rather vague generalities about the equality of nations,
''cradle to grave" security, higher living standards( etc. etc.
ad infinitum.
But these plans (at least so far as public news releases are
concerned) seem to ignore almost entirely the vital factor of
international economic security. They have talked volumin
ously about social, cultural, spiritual advances, without spe
cifically considering plans for stabilization of economic sys
tems without which none of the other worthwhile changes ean
be made.
Mr. Morgenthau's plan (and an alternative proposal put
forth by Sir John Maynard Keynes, famed English economist)
envisions an international currency fund of five billion dol
lars, contributed by all allied nations and countries associated
with them.
Briefly, stabilization would be achieved and controlled by
pegging of all currencies to gold at a fixed legal value so the
value of the dollar would be the same in all nations partici
pating in the agreement. Foreign currencies ikewise would
bavc a fixed value in the United States.
Js the plan workable? Will changes be made in it! These
questions must remain unanswered until its discussion at the
forthcoming United Nations monetary conference at "Washing
ton. But it is a much needed step in the right direction, in
the direction of definiteness and decisive action in the present
morass of post war planning.

Tbe Banana.
Because of war priorities and difficulties
of transportation, the common banana is now:
almost impossible to obtain. Consequently,
rather than talk about something which is out
moded, we will devote the balance of this col
umn to a subject "very near to our hearts: the
rumor.
More rumors than Phi Tsis have been
flying around the Nebraska campus of late,
creating as much commotion as a mouse in the
girl's dorm. In order to squash all the propa
ganda which has been upsetting so many of
our young people, wc will here publish a few
counter-rumors, told to me in strictest confi
dence by a usually unreliable' source.
Social Science, Nebraska Hall, and Penn
Woods will be taken over next week by a new
unit of WOOFs, the new pooch-infantry. When
interviewed, the commanding officer, Major
Uover, said: "My new cadets will go furr, and
if you are too bull-headed to believe it, then
you are barking up the wrong tree."
The WROTC will be activated and trained
for combat duty rather than the ROTO. The
ROTC, according to the latest report by Bill
McBride, will be sent to California to study a
specialized course entitle : "Life After the
War."
The new CMC unit, (Civilian Morale
Corps), arrived early this morning after a
grueling trainnig program at Officers' Candi
date School, Waldorf-Austoria ballroom, New
York City. Their new duties will include
drinking cokes, dating the campus "war-widows,"
and saying hello to Bill Robinson.
WThcn interviewed, one of the hardened re
cruits muttered "These new Towne Colas al
most make one ill."
A new epidemic of scarlet fever broke
loose with a mighty yell, causing a near-panic
and frightening nearly every Husker student.
The doctors, however, brought back order
when they said that scarlet fever was not con
tagious and should not worry anyone.
