Engineers
Hail! -But.
Following the war, the future will depend
largely upon the rebuilding of the nation and
of the world, and in that the engineer must
play a prominent part.
That was the essence of the remarks made
by R. L. Schacht before the honorary engi
neering society at the university, and also the
essence of the editorial comment made by a
Lincoln newspaper on the following day.
Writes the editorial writer: "It will be for
the engineer, aided by all the branches of sci
ence, to make this planet a satisfactory world
on which to live . . . The engineer will make
the world vastly more productive, thereby do
ing more than his share m eradicating narrow
nationalism and in culcating the spirit of inter
nationalism."
Statesmen around the peace table can make
only temporary arrangements in the post-war
world, always subject to amendment and alter
ation, the editorial adds.
Assuming that UN engineers are typical of
the group, most university students would fear
dependence on that profession for the future
of the world after the war.
UN students have found that, for the most
part, "those crazy engineers" are probably
the most isolated bunch on the campus. They
represent Nebraska nationalism on the campus.
How then can the world depend on this
group whose knowledge, in the majority of
eases, is limited to its field of study for for
ward movements on an international basis t
Now engineers are necessary for society. It
is because of them that railroads and highways
are built, that the great scientific advance
ments are accomplished. And they deserve
credit for such work.
The contribution of the engineer to post-war
advancement will be invaluable, but it does
not follow that the engineer has replaced the
statesman as the most important key to the
solution of future world problems.
There is still a premium on the man who is
informed, who has an accurate knowledge of
history, who recognizes reality as it is.
All homage to the engineer for his many
contributions to the advancement of the world
May he study and discover in his laboratories
and on his proving grounds, while statesmen
go about the practical business of rebuildin
a new world.
"Liberal education is essential to citizens
of a democracy. It is essential to our citizen
soldiers in a war which requires initiative and
intelligence. Technical training which is not
based on liberal education will produce only
robots. Robots cannot win the war or con
tribute to the neace: thev can be only a men
ace to the nation." University of Chicago Pres.
ident Eobert Zlavnard Hutchins disagrees with
those who believe liberal education is a luxury
with which the country must dispense duri&
the wax.

The following paragraphs are from a
V-mail letter from Cpl. BAB LICHTY, Beta a
year ago, and stationed in the photography
division in India:
' Without a doubt there are still some
people at home that will still ask the question
"What are we fighting for." I know that
there is a lot of big talk about the freedom of
speech, the American way of life, etc They
talk about it, but I am sure that most of them
don't realize the full meaning. I wish that
some of those isolationists and pacificists could
come over here with us for a while. They
would soon realize that even a think like the
WPA is worth fighting for. Take it from me,
the boys who come back from this mess will be
the staunchest, truest Americans that ever
lived. Of course, we always did think the
United States was the best, but it takes a war
to drive home the full meaning of the thing.
"It is the thought of our homes, and coun
try that sticks continually in our minds that
seeps our spirits so high. No foolin , if we
didn't have the thoughts of parents, friends,
home, country, and all those things we used to
enjoy and those that we will enjoy in the
future, the morale would drop like the ther
momter in March (over there)."
The University of Nebraska
campus beautifieation program in
augurated recently by the Lincoln
Alumni club has begun to bear
fruit Planting of alumni-spon
sored trees and shrubs began on
Arbor day. But this is Just the
beginning.
Started as a local alumni proj
ect in the spring of 1942, the idea
of beautifying the campus has
spread to the approximately 40
other Nebraska alumni clubs scat
tered thruout the nation. Now,
according to E. F. DuTeau, secre
tary of the Nebraska Alumni as
sociation, hundreds of trees and
shrubs have been promised.
Most Trees Planted at Library.
Recent completion of the Don L.
Love Memorial library makes of
that section of the campus a log
ical place for the concentration of
landscaping plans. Most of the
trees set this sprinff have been
placed about the library.
Prominent among me contri
butions is that of Mrs. Homer G
H. Hewitt of Houston, Tex., who
plans to send 1.000 redbud trees
to Lincoln, if test planting demon
strates the ability of the trees to
thrive in the Nebraska climate.
May Largest Contributor.
Earl E. May of Shenandoah, la.
is the largest contributor to date.
WILL THE JOBS LAST?
Not even history's greatest armed conflict
can divert attention from the problem of earn
ing a living. College students going into the
services want to know whether they'll have
jobs when they come home. Civilians in war
industry, particularly women, wonder whether
they will still have jobs when it's all over.
A recent Gallup poll revealed that 79 per
cent of today's war workers think their pres
ent jobs will continue after the war. Re
lated to this confidence, which may decrease
as demobilization sends millions of men back
to the labor market, is the Gallup finding
that more than half of the public has not
heard of the National Resources Planning
Board's report on postwar plans which pro
vides a stepping stone to full employment.
Down at CIO headquarters on Washing
ton's natty Jackson place, however, Phil Mur
ray is worrying about mass unemployment of
women after the war.
"There is a serious possibility that at least
10 million workers will lose their jobs within
three months after the hostilities cease," he
says.

"That will affect women more than
They will automatically be dismissed
when war contracts are cancelled or completed.
As newcomers, women will have relatively few
skills and comparatively little seniority."
All this adds up to a need for full em
ployment after the war. "If something near
full employment can be achieved," Murray
feels, "then women will continue to be wel
comed into industry and the professions.
Age-long barriers against women tend to dis
appear when their services are really re
quired." So long as men who are able and eager to
work are not assured of jobs, however, women
will continue to suffer from economic discrim
ination. YOU WON ANYHOW
News of college students' fervid devotion to
freedom continues to filter through from the
European underground One of the most re
cent reports received in Washington tells of
more executions of University of Munich stu
dents accused of distributing leaflets calling
Adolf Hitler a murderer.
Among students who paid with their lives
for speaking out against Hitler were a medical
student, Hans Scholl, his sister Sophia, and an
other medical student named Cristoph Froh,
The students showed great courage during
the court proceedings. "When Hans Scholl was
sentenced to death, he called to his judges
"Soon you will stand where 1 am standing
now."
After the executions, the words "You won
anyhow" were painted in large letters on the
university walla, N .

phia and Mrs. S. W, Perrinn of
Columbus, Neb, will flank the
new library on the north. Mrs.
Perrinn contributed the tree in

Planted on Arbor day were six
large trees, the two silver maples
of the Perrinns, a blue spruce con
tributed by the Denver alumni
club,, a magnolia tree given by
the Houtson, Tex. club and a white
dogwood and a redbud contri
buted by the Lexington, Ky. club.
Several redbud seedlings were also
planted.
Cedars for Library South
Entrance,
For the two south entrances of
the new library, the Omaha club
has contributed four box cedars.
These will be planted on either
side of each entrance.
Alice von, Bergen, '19, of Om
aha, who last year won the dis-
tiquished service award from the
univeristy and the alumni associa
tion, is contributing a tree. Ralph
Meucller, 9S, of Cleveland O., is
sending a half-dozen black walnut
seedlings.
Grape Plants from Oregon.
A shipment of Oregon grape
plants was sent by Mr. and Mrs.
J. C Stevens on behalf of the
Portland, Ore, alumni club.
The Chicago club sent $15. The
Grand Island club sent $10. The
Rochester, N. Y. club has sent $10
plus several shoots of the new
variety of lilacs for which Ro
chester is famous.
Mrs. C C. Colby of Lincoln is
growing a number of valuable
plants and shrubs in her own yard
preparatory to giving them to the
university. The Pilmore county,
Nebraska club has contributed
one large tree.
Take Photographs.
Pictures of all plantings will be

that each contributor may actu
ally see the gift in its campus
setting. Each contributor will be
sent a print and the Alumnus,
