'Every Indication' . . .
Results of the recent investigation of the student health
service, conducted by a special Student Council committee,
will soon be released.
The Council committee is currently surveying and
tabulating the opinions of the student body, as recorded
in the questionnaires distributed last week through the
organized houses. When the tabulation is complete, a
comprehensive report will be drafted and submitted to
the Council at its Wednesday meeting. What use the
Council will make of the report is not definite, but pres
ent plans call for giving it full publicity through The
Nebraskan and the Lincoln papers and dispatching a
copy of it to Chancellor Boucher.
There is every indication that the Council's report will
reveal that a majority of students are not satisfied with
the present student health service, that a general house
cleaning is in order. An incomplete sampling of results of
the questionnaire indicates that more than half of the stu
dents queried expressed dissatisfaction with their present
health service. Chief criticisms recorded on the question
naires thus far examined have been directed at the general
inefficiency, unco-operative attitude and inadequate hous
ing facilities of the service.
Clear-thinking students will withhold their final
judgment until the Council's report has been made pub
lic. But if the report, as anticipated, reveals the need for
sweeping reforms in the present student health set-up,
the student body as a whole, through the Council, should
take prompt, vigorous action to win these needed
reforms.
We Point With Pride . . .
... to the high honors which the University's debate
squad carried away from the Northwestern University
Discussion and Debate Conference in Evanston, 111., last
week.
Nebraska was the only participating school to place
all four of its debaters on the honor, roll for discussion,
Gerry McKinsey won first place in extemporaneous
speaking and a highly superior rating in discussion, Tom
Sorenson and Mary Ann Mattoon received superior rat
ings in discussion and Bill Miller won a ranking of ex
cellent. And to cap this impressive list of achievements,
both UN debate teams went undefeated throughout the
conference.
More power to McKinsey, Mattoon, Sorenson, and Mil
ler, and to Dr. LeRoy T. Laase, debate coach, whose ca
pable direction contributed no little to the squad's im
pressive showing at Northwestern.
Les Said The Better
By Les Glotfelty
Once again it might be a good idea to
read the front page before reading this col-
umn on account a Decauae uc i
has done itself proud. Gerry McKinsey,
Mary Ann Mattoon, Bill Sorenson, and Bill
Miller made the trip to Northwestern this
week with two strikes against them. Just a
few days before they were scheduled to
leave here for the big city, they got word
that the debate question they had. been
working on all year had been tossed neatly
out the window and an entirely different
question substituted. All of which meant
that they had darned little time to work up
a case, get material, and generally prepare
themselves. Mattoon and McKinsey, maybe
Miller and Sorenson, too, left with the feel
ing of lambs being led to the slaughter.
The four debaters and their coacn, leroy
T. Laase, have something to be proud of, for

Peace Conference Previews
BY PROF. NORMAN HILL.
Probably the most numerous,
contentious and puzzling of all the
problems to be faced by the next
peace conference will be those re
lating to territory. The present
controversy between Poland and
Russia is but one of many to
come up before the new peace
treaty can be ready for diplomats
to sign. In Europe there are de
cisions to be made for the future
of Italian Istria, Transylvania,
Klagenfurt, the Southern Dobrud
jata Northern Epirus, Teschen, the
Sudetenland, parts of Macedonia
and many other areas. In view
of the fact that we are committed
to the destruction of the Japanese
empire, some disposition must be
made of Manchuria, Korea, For
mosa, the southern half of the
Sakhalien Islands, the Kuriles, the
Pescadores, the llonins and many
small islands in the Pacific for
merly mandated to Japan. No
question will be more difficult to
settle than the future territorial ,
status of Germany, whether to;
divide up the country or to leave)
it substantially intact with onlyj
minor los;es in land holdings.
it could be readily resolved.
Usually, however, both of the
claimants can submit good argu
ments to support their respective
cases. Czechoslovakia, for in
stance, needs the Sudetenland for
its industry and for its strategic
value, but the people there are
German in nationality. Further
complications come when both
claimants use the same argument
each alleging, for instance, that
the people in the area belong to
it in nationality. This is likely
to be the case where the territory
is inhabited by people of both
national groups, as in Transyl
vania and Alsace-Lorraine.
Next Peace Conference Not Final.
Only a blind optimist could hope
that all of the worlds territorial
problems will be satisfactorily
and permanently settled by the
next peace conference. There is
no perfection in such matters. If,
however, we can use our intel
ligence rather than our emotions
in boundary-making we may
avoid the worst and least work
able decisions. The ultimate solu
tion of territorial problems re
quires the eradication of those
conditions which make territory
worth having, as among the 48
states composing the United States.
If sometime the kind of thinking
that produces nationalism, trade
restrictions, fear and insecurity
is Jen behind, there will be no
more international competition for
land than between Kansas and
Nebraska at the present time. Is
this more than mankind can at
tain?

Problems Extremely Complicated.
All of these problems will be
extremely complicated. When a
demand for territory is made by
a state there are many facts to
be taken into account. What are
the wishes and aspirations of the!
people in the coveted area? 1
Should they be consulted, and if;
so, how? Can annexation be;
justified on the ground of na-'
tional security against military
attack? Will annexation stabilize 1
or upset the balance of power? Is
the territory needed by the claim- j
and for economic reasons, to ac
quire natural resources, industry
or ports?
If all of these questions could be
answered in favor of one of the
claimants there probably would!
