After Tomorrow, What? One of the most common of the numerous American attitudes is the expression of dis dain toward the "nouveau riche," that class of people who make their money in a hurry and then try to become aristocrats in society in a hurry. Not that it makes a great deal of difference but the common thing to do, the moment one has money, quantities of it, is to act as though you did hare quantities of money, and as though you had always had it. Now comes a new class to enter the lists against the ogre of starvation the nouvean pauvre. It will be interesting to discern just what the American attitude will be toward that new class. Last year a class of seniors graduated from hundreds of colleges and universities through out the United States. This year another class almost as large will take its place along side last year's group. The great percentage of both will be without work. The economic de pression, which everyone bewails and which no one does anything tangible about, is, of course, to be blamed, although there are many who choose to blame it onto the supposed fact that college does not fit one for a position in the world. The depression is blamed for a multitude of sins but of this one it seems to be absolutely guilty. The question now becomes, "is there a. depression?" Business leaders everywhere arc performing all sorts of mumbo-jumbos to get the world back to normalcy. Newspapers nvnr the land are craving for normalcy. Nor malcy is the pass-word. When we get back iWe. evervthinar will be alright again, say the boosters. It would be a tremendous joke if this situation were normalcy. It would be in deed funny were all the leaders to find too late, that this is the average and that there is uolhine better in sight. The outlook for college graduates is not liriffht. Seniors eraduate from a world in which they were someone into a world where they are unknown. They sink into oblivion. The collece world foreets them and the world of the great outside does not know them. It lakes work and hard work to be recognized and in these times there is not even a place to begin. There is a new problem for thinkers to ponder on. Where are graduates to obtain work for which they are fitted? A depressing ihonirht in a depressing era. What about the nouveau pauvre? They've Got To Be Good. Martyrdom is a much sought after fate Every class delights in weaving about itself a self made hallucination of persecution. From this tendency college students are by no meaus iinmune. We, as well as others, like to feel we are getting the dirty end of some deal. What sort of a deal seems to make Jittle ditterence, Just so we get the dirty end of it. That's why rrinine is so much fun. . As one manifestation of this tendency, the so-called "younger generation" and college students as a fair representation of that class have conjured up the misconception that the "old folks" think said younger generation is coiner to the does. e say it is a misconcep tion. At least, that is the impression gained from a series of recent interviews with local personages supposedly in a position to know, Either this popular idea that the older gen. eration thinks the younger is cavorting in an unbecoming manner is a misconception, or these official personages are afraid to have printed in a student paper what they really think. Evidence that the older generation is not really so disappointed in its progeny are the recent opinions of Chief of rolice Anderson Warden Fenton. Municipal Judge Polk and Professor Cochran. All these agree that the younger generation iR not really bad. Chief Anderson points out the small number of stu dents who run afoul of the toils of the law. "Ward Fenton. while recoenizinir that "the youth of today are not up to par morally in certain respects," recognizes that "the young people of today are better as a whole, mor ally." He nevertheless gives a few pointers on spots wherein their conduct might be watched more carefully. Judge Polk recognizes that livinc in a fast age." but gener ally praises their conduct Professor Cochran eoes further. He sees the tendency, which we -.r trvintr to prove does not exist, as a cen eral proclivity for every age to believe the rnnnirr operation is fast on its way to the proverbial bow wows. The facts of social his .tory, he says, disprove the charge as regards 4he present younger generation. Tt would seem. then, that we of the younger generation in supposing that all our superiors Haee rerard us as a bad lot have been nursing Laisse f aire. The ever present tonic of women's smoking arises from the mists again. Thin time it takes the form of an attempt to decide whether or not women are smoking less or more than ever before. Mrs. lvft M. Inn is, president of the tate W. ('. T. U., refutes the opinion hold by Mrs. G. F. Halverson, head of the ,Undison Central W. C. T. U. in Wisconsin, who believes that smoking among women is on the decrease. Mrs. Innis. on the other hand, says that in Nebraska, at least, smoking is not on the de cline. And now the qneslion which naturally rises is what difference does it make . Years and rears ago there was the same kind of horror of men smoking cigarettes, t ig- arettes were regarded as tools of the devil and man who smoked them was known as quite a rounder. "Anti organizations over the coun try crusaded against tne idea aim now men nr smokinff. and are smoking nuile openi with no stigma being cast upon them. The life of the race seems to he just about as naruy. or perhaps it is the constant improvement of science. At any rate women are smoking. Many oi thou. .In not. iust as manv men do not. it seems to make no particular difference in the morals of the people who smoke and so far as can be determined it has no more serious phys ical effects. Perhaps the sanest policy toward women smoking would be to ignore the smok ers, then those who do it because they think it smart would stop for lack of attention, and the ones who continue would continue despite any efforts to the contrary.

TO THE EDITOR: Last, Monday's arame with Creighton brought out more pep and enthusiasm than has been displayed for many a week in the field house. A feeling of rivalry, a really personal thing, was felt by all present and without a cheer- . - ., ... i 1 1 leader in the house the yeuing ana appiauumg sounded good to the ears of those who had long ago given up hope of hearing once again that "good old Nebraska" zip. Of course, the ever present booers were there in masse but that is yet another matter. Why am 1 taking up your time wnn mis subject? Because, I believe along with many others that a couple of games, in basketball, should be scheduled with Creighton, and other teams close to Nebraska in order to keep the enthusiasm of the basketball followers at top pitch. Many of us haven't ever been to Co lumbia, Mo. or Norman, Okl., or to any of the other Big Six campuses so there isn't that intense rivalry that permeates the campuses of the Big Three, or other schools when they play some traditional rival.

College Editors Say "Indifferent public" are the sig nificant words. We Americans, es pecially we college students, are going to have to read a little more, think much more for ourselves, then say what we think and act accordingly. You can't expect the timid sold to speak up. but this don't uive a damn ' attitude is a growing American characteristic. After all, it's a Townsend photo graph that you want. -Adv. Library Pests. Among the many varieties of campus nui sances, perhaps none, is so annoying as the library pest. There are several varieties anu all are equally objectionable. The first one is the student who enters the library with very little intention of studying and proceeds to prevent everyone else from doing so by his incessant chatter. He picks out some inena who is struggling with some dry book, sits beside him and commences to converse. The friend, not loath to be diverted, drops his Dook and takes up the discussion and no one else at that table can concentrate any longer. The second kind of nuisance is the person who takes out a two weeks book, keeps it at home for the entire two weeks and reads it the last two days only. Then there are those who indulge in the de lightful practice known in the vernacular as "ganging," they take out a forty-eight hour book which is in great demand, and when it is due pass it on to a friend who takes it out and in turn passes it on to someone eise. uy mis means three or four students may keep a forty eight hour book between them for a month, to the great annoyance of other students anxious to take the book out. Fourthlv. there are the students who insist on underlining important parts of a book. In some cases it is not a disadvantage, but even helpful to have a book underlined, but if some idiot insists on underlining passages of slight importance it is very disconcerting to later readers. Finally there are those who mutilate the library's copies of old examination papers, ine collection of these is not very complete in any case and poorly bound. Around examination time they receive jreat use, but even making allowances for ordinary wear and tear, it must be admitted that the examination papers are more mutilated and more are missing than need be. There may be other yarieties of library pest s, but these are the worst we have noticed. We mit therefore, with all due apologies to Cicero, Caesar, and other writers of real Latin, "Pests delendae unt."M.cGili comix; evknts IN BKIEF A Biad Spring party, opening the spring party season, will ne held in the Cornhusker ballroom, Saturday night.

GUNDERSON LEADER OF DRIVE FOR UNEMPLOYED (Continued from Page 1.) done. We should have it done now and thus help the unfortunate un employed. ' By so doing, we might be sav ing a man from distress, permit ting him to make needed payments on his home or other property. If all organizations of Lincoln co operate with us in the move, we can solve the problem f unem ployment as well as get some of the money out of hoarding. It can not be accomplished unless we get out and work." Groups Cooperating. Co-operation of the groups spon soring the move along with the Legion was assured Commander Giinderson. Groups assisting are: Chamber of commerce, junior chamber of commerce, Commun ity Chest, Commission on Stabil ization of Employment, Lincoln Builders bureau, Nebraska Manu facturers association. Lincoln Manufacturers association, Lincoln engineers, architects, contractors, civic clubs. Veterans of Foreign Wars and others. In the outline of the campaign the sponsors stated: "It is believed that a great deal of idle labor can be put to work by hoarded dollars if the right kind of educational and promotional ramnaien is conducted. Such a campaign, if rightly conducted, will aid in the return of normal business. "This campaign asks for no charity, but will save the property owner, will relieve unemployment conditions, will stimulate all lines of business, will allow the worker to pay his bils. and will require less funds necessary for direct relief with its attendant moral degenera tion."

(Continued from Page 1.) age call for action. t,ven me modern poetry seems to ieei me impetus of the faster moving peo' pie and the music." "There is a deficiency in operas right now and whether there will be more depends on the response that the theaters are given. Right now the movies, the talkies and the radio take away the interest that the public shows in the operas, but as the music is becoming more re fined and beautiful there will be a definite trend back to the classical ideals," declared Mr. Quick. Music of Feet. "Syncopation is music of the feet," axiomed the director, "I like the modern dances; they dont seem to tire the dancers out as much as the older dances did. However, I am still partial to the old fashioned dances. There is nothine I like better when I am tired than to near a siow smooia waltz or symphony." The statelv dances or the wag' nerian days, and the minuets of the French court were used be cause they rhymed to the music of that day. Perhaps if a modern jazz piece had been introduced into the court, the ladies-in-waiting and the nobles would have responded to the new stimulus much as our modern young people do, added Mr. Quick.
