A Challenge . .
To "let the college paper lead the student body to be a
world of good will in miniature," was the theme of the As
sociated Collegiate Press convention held in Chicago last
weekend. A very fine idea, by the way, but much more dif
ficult to put into action than word. The success of such a
plan, or even the beginning, calls for the co-operation and
sincere interest of a school's entire student body, and that
in itself does not exist in the University of Nebraska at the
present moment.
Nor does it exist in small part in any other college or
university at this time. But it was encouraging to find that,
such being the case, students are realizing that the world
in general and respective campuses in particular are not so
many bowls of roses. 1 felt confident in saying in Chicago
and I feel confident in repeating in Lincoln that the students
here on the campus realize the seriousness of social and po
litical upheaval and are trying to remedy the situation.
Whether the tactics employed are "acceptable" is something
we all must learn, and would-be "wheels" come a dime a
dozen at the moment, but that's part of the scheme of
things. Not to be taken lightly but to be taken in stride.
Dr. William Lindsay Young, vice-president of the Na
tional Conference of Christians and Jews, concluded his
challenge by saying, "There can be little hope for the masses
emerging from our present state of chaos and confusion if
enlightened college men and women do not lead the way."
So you laugh long and loud at such a statement, primarily
because it is time-worn, as ancient as the Greeks. But it
wouldn't be such a bad idea to ponder the statement during
the interim between T. borsey and the Homecoming dance,
keeping in mind that, whether we like the idea or not, you
and I will, in the not too dim future, be "leading the way."
It was a fine convention, Chicago was its old sweet self,
a grand time was had by all, but back to school, with an
added degree of understanding and consideration for you
and me and the guy next door. s

Commander Eitts
Talks at Fairlmry
Naval Exercises
"Today, the United States will
have to choose between disarming
and hoping for the best, or main
taining her armed strength and
having no fear of the future." as
serted Commander William W.
Fitts when he spoke at the Navy
Day exercises in Fairbury yester
day. The assistant professor of naval
science at the university said that
he hoped the present weakness of
the Navy, brought about by de
mobilization, is only temporary.
"Without sufficient appropria
tions the Navy will be weak re
gardless of the men who man the
ships. If there is lack of ships,
money for research and inven
tions, the Navy will be as power
less as it was at Pearl Harbor on
December 7, 1941," the Naval
commander declared.
Fitts made a plea for a strong
Naval air arm because he said
that the air fcrre is an integral
part of the fleet and that a fast
carrier task force can be a power
ful police force in the postwar
world.

Mathews Speaks
To Navy League
Council in Alliance
Despite repeated predictions
that the Navy "was through," the
Navy has successfully weathered
every revolutionary change in
warfare, Capt. Mitchell D. Mat
thews, professor of naval science
and tactics, said last night in an
address to the Navy League Coun
cil in Alliance.
History records the success of
radical changes in Navy design,
armament and tactics in order to
counter the threat of the gun
powder cannon, the long range
shell and the airplane, Capt. Mit
chell declared.
The atomic era will revolution
ize the form ofthe Navy, he pre
dicted. But wars must be won by
forces on enemy soil and the sup
port of these forces will always be
the Navy's job, he said. ?
