Three Million ,
New Voters.
BETWEEN two and three million younf American
10 to 1 percent of tem college studanta
frill vote for the first time thi fell. Two facte (out
cf many) announced lot week by a group of eml
ent engineer after a mirvey of American lndue
trial equipment and power ehould fit them Mm
thing to think about when ty aak thenuelvee
stoat they are voting for;
1. Total eenaelty f u- ",lrtl
msnt la one WIHri Kr Mw'
work of ten Millar) men. TMe mean that If
pertuntty were oqually dlrtrlfcuted, ovary man,
woman and eMM In this country wou1 nave
working for him In the equivalent of a tout ?
kuman olavee.
1. So offlolent he Amerlea heoomo that if
tnduttry returned today to Hs 1M proo)uoton
peak, haK of the tt to 14 mlllton unemployed
would aiiil fes out wt wrk.
Let the new young voter consider tke flnt
pad then oeek the caute for preawat condition in
this country wnar porsrty at atalklng the doori of
& million bona. Let them consider th aecond
$nA then Judge the proportion of to usstapVoy
, meat pr oblom today and for the future.
Wny all thia porerty when ovary person's pro
fncUv ability kaa been murttplied aeventy tinea ky
machine? Simply becauee tke benefit of ma
rWne bar been appropriated by a few, wkUo the
grout majority In thi country where "all men are
torn free and equal" are denied eves the pririVege
Of working for a living.
One solution ia heard: Junk the labor-aving
machinery and go back to the time when men col
lectively bad to work all the time to get enough
to ee,t. There would then be work for all.
But why throw away the benefit of mechani
cal alavea which can do our work? There is an
etber aolution: let th benefit of nwchtnes accrue to
society as a whole, lightening the burden of labor
rm all men, giving then leisure to live and know
those) thinga which ak Wo aaor thai existence.
THOMAS Paine, famed revolutionary phleteer
who stirred lingtond'a American cokmiatst to
throw off U oppression of foreign control in 177,
drew a fitve distinction between society ad gov
ernment. Society, ho said, exist by reason of the
oo-operatlv tendencies ia the human race which
estsbl anea to accompUeh more by working to-
w WmnMtt ma tHe other band. 1 made
necessary by inherent evil tendenciea which must
be suppressed in the interest of the community.
Today that distinction, no longer hotti. A grad
ual expansion of the philosophy of the functions of
government is merging society and government,
government is becoming socialised.
XJO movement m modern times has bsea more mis
understood ad prejudies-rldden, yet surer in
ft inevttaMeness as the only alternative to fall for
a greed-ruled order, than sooiallam. The very term
baa been propaganda! wd by it opponents to con
jure up bloody images of long-bearded Russian
gleefully clipping bead from paunck capitalists.
Every advocate of thia doctrine i pooh-poohed aside
ejrtth vague references to the Declaration of lade
tsndence, the Constitution and the American flag.
Socialism, according to Webster, i "a political
Mm economic theory of social reorganisation, the
essentia! feature of which 1 government control of
economic act'ritlea, to the end that competition
hball givt way to co-operation and the opportunities
fif life and the rewards of labor shall be equitably
apportioned."
TO accompiiah Just thi ia the platform of the
socialist party which again present a candidate
for the presidency who will bear comparison with
fiiose of the two regular jerHt. Jerwn Tx"os
hold no illusions a to hi chance for victor'
he baa not a chance and knows it. But, as be
aees it, a vote for the socialist ticket is a vote in
protest against the policies of the two established
parties. And auch it will be.
The present state of affair will, moreover, re
ault in a larger vote for him than any socialist has
ever polled. Thi protest vote will, in addition, be
strengthened by the dearth of ability offered in the
presidential candidate of the republican and demo
cratic parties: a discredited public official and a
demagogue who seek vote with promises bs can
not fulfill (more government service and reduces
government expenditure).
Part of thi increased protest vote will be the
case by these two to three million new voters, not
yet atped ia traditional party !otlty. Tot low!y

OCCASIONALLY the observer who ea the x-
w travagant pralde leapeq upon rooioau si,
coaches, and the sport in general, or who see the
large amounts of money not only paid out for thia
port but Immediately expended by it, cannot neip
but agree with one commentator who declared that
football bear about the same cloae connection to
education that bull-flghttng bear e agriculture.
A a matter of fact, however, tnat l a very
extreme statement but nevertheless one to which
football lay itself open by reason of the large
amount of money It uses, and the overemphasis
placed upon drawing crowde.
There i a definite Justification for in money
o-huti football make, however, and that justifica
tion Is th faet that the surplus la used to support
other student sports wnicn oo not enusi suca
tmivral interest These sport conatitut a very
definite and essential part of a university' extra
curricular athletic program, Just as football doe,
and If they are curtailed, the Justification for large
football receipts falls.
Tt has come to be recognised practically uni
varaailv that it ia a desirable thins; for an educa
tional institution to provide extra-curricular inter
ests for as many students a it can. Football is
nnlv oB of these Interests, and those ho are not
Interested in football should most certainly not be
forced to suffer if football did not pay.
Baseball ia another one of those interest, and
Its sppeal I very likely to be an appeal to stu
dents who have few if any other outside Interests.
It ia a defialtely established port at other instl
tutioae, and it Is obviously a Mack-eye to the ath
letic management of this school if it cannot be sup
plied to the student on account of th fact that
football is eating up too much of its om-n profits,
or because for some reasoa the available money
cannot be made to go around.
Apparently there ia student interest in baseball,
aad if th petition for it reinstatement which are
now being circulated are indicative of a large
enough interest, K is to be hoped that the athletic
department will reinstate baseball in its budget
Perhaps the time will eventually come when
van state supported institution can depend upon
the funds granted by the slate legislature for the
support of varioue activities which are worthwhile.
Perhaps, too, by then, athletic and other student
activities wtll be recognised as having a definite
place in the educational scheme and will not have
to depend on the fickle financial support of the pub
lic of the gam of football for the wherewithal to
carry on.
But until that probably remote era. we believe
that all tudent interests should be given upport,
even if the king of all interests, football, ha to de
prive itelf of some of tie luxuries with which it
has been wont to adorn itself.
we based upon a survey of sum
mer selling Job, recently com
pleted by a committee appointed
in October, l3i, Dy me juaniern
Collage Personnel Officers' asso
ciation. All atudenta placed with
sale companies through the em
ployment bureau of thirty eastern
college during the summer of
1931 were asked to give a detailed
report of the amounts which they
earned, the length of time they
worked, the number of working
hour required per week, and the
degree of supervision they re
ceived. They were alio requested
to give frank opinion of their Jobs.
"Rarninr and nroflta are com
paratively low. The average gross
amount earned by the individual
students who reported was only
$211, and the net amount cleared
wa $94. The average amount
earned per hour wa only 61 cents
and the average Individual profit
per hour over expense 21 cent.
Thoae facts seriously challenge the
claims made by certain of these
companies that canvassing of this
nature yields a higher return than
other kinds of summer employ
ment. "A Dr. Crawford's statement
pointed out, the association be
lieve that no salesmen or com
pany ha a right to use the name
of any college to make sales."

Lincoln's Only
Legitimate Theater.
THE University Players are starting their annual
drive for sale of seaaon ticketa to their pro
duction. They will present six play this season
Student tickets sell at only $2.00 for the season.
It is anticipated that ticket sales will be fewer
this year than usual because cf the general financial
condition of students and the public. Thi is in
deed regrettable. However, there are aome stu
dents who could easily afford ticketa who have
never before patronised the University Players. It
is for those student to help put thi drive acros.
Does thia undertaking merit the aupport we
now wlh it to have ? The answer ia emphatically,
"Tea!" The Univerity Player consistently present
the finest possible production plays which are
recognised the world over aa the best. Shakespeare,
Wilde, Drinkwater and many other play-wrlgbta
contribute their talent for the classical, unusual, or
modern productions of the Flayers.
These plays are not dry, solemn or boring. They
are decidedly the opposite. The staff in charge f
the productions repeatedly pick lively, humorous,
thrilling, and fascinating play, which are sure to
strike th fancy of everyone. When you go to aee
the University Player, you may expect an evening
of superb entertainment.
iB thia age of abundance of movies, we are
inclined to doubt the pooelbility of the stage retain
ing its prominence. We hear, "The day of the
spoken, living drama is past." A glance at the
situation in Lincoln would seem to bear out this
statement. Ten yesrs sgo more than one dowiitown
theater had a stage show. Then about five years
ago we notice en advertieement of the TTTilvrity
Plays which read. "Do you know that the Player
are presenting the only living drama in Lincoln thi
season?" Thi w indeed a good advertising point,
for at that time that situation wag an unusual one
here. Not so today. i
Nevertheless, in apite of the talking movies, we
cannot believe iving drama has aeen its last day. !
Tt seems to u that people will soon tire of seeing
and bearing nothing but talking movies. If for no
other reason than to provide variety of entertain
ment, the legitimate Stage ia bound to survive. j
The Univemlty Player afford not only the stu
dents, but all Lincoln, the opportunity to see legiti- (
mate theatre productions. They merit a greater
degree of student support than has been given in
th past. 01 H-

TO THE EDITOR:
The evening paper have broken
the news of the year to the inter
collegiate athletic world. The foot
ball player of Koruiwetrn uni
versity who have not sufficient
funds to nav their own way
through school have been"adop-
ted by business men oi .vansion.
These godfathers will be respon
sible for seeing that that man has
an education as long as he con
tinues to perform capably upon the
teams of their alma mater. Last
year several other eastern schools
did the same thing.
But two years ago "Jarring
Tim" Bausrh of Kansas was
forced by the voice of protest of
the followers or iooidsii in me
midwest to give up his post on tbe
Kansas university football team,
because of his acceptance of a
like proposition. The Carnegie
foundation investigated the aitua
firtn in schools all over the nation.
Yet Northwestern because of her
place at the peak of intercollegiate
enntnaii ran nuhliclv announce her
subsidisation of player and get by
with it.
Thi manner of hiring athlete
ia unfair to other schools who can
not afford to do so. to those
schools that could afford to but
don't because they do not wish to
besmirch the character of their
schools, and to non-athlete at
tending college every where.
Wnv should men who have not
the brawn for football, be forced
to forego a college education be
cause of the lack of funds, "while
a muscular bodv. much better
equipped to make his own way in
the world than a man oi non-am-letie
build, and not so deirou of
a college education be tossed the
life of luxury, as long as ne con
tinues to hold his place on the
'varsity.
This unfairness of Northwestern
should be squarely met by each
and every campus, and a decided
hsrrier of nublic Drotest lodged
apainst the school involved. Other
schools can not do una manner i
thing, whv should Northwestern?
Wholehearted protest from every
colleg-e newspaper will form a
gauntlet that, when assisted by the
storm of fire from national pa
pers, not even Northwestern could
dare to run.

At thia aeaaon of the year the
7at brain mills, known as col
leges, open their doors, sweep out,
and begin to grind. At thia time,
too, there is a revival of u old
controversy. A large group of
young men and womea serioualy
questions whether a college edu
cation is really that open sesame,
that sure door to wealth and fame,
that sine qua aoa to leadership ia
American institutions which seem
to be the popular conception of It

Colleges have not contended that
they fit men for commerce or in

October, points out ia clear and
etrong terms what the college doe
not profess to do. Bald he:
"The true mission of the col
lege is in no wise related to vo

nothing whatever to do with,

Book Review
PHIL STONG'S "8TATE FAIR."
Authors have often thrown a
number of varied personalities into
a common environment and then
recorded the drama as they came
In contact. Ono of the most not
able of recent examples of this
technique is Vlckl Baum's "Grand
Hotel," although there are ninny
others of lesser prominence.
In his novel, "Slate. Fair," Dill
Stong selects a family of Iowa
farmers, a daughter of a stock
show manager, a newspaper re
porter and a prize-winning hog for
his assortment of characters.
A state fair provides the mixing
bowl and, like most other novels
of this type, after the thing is over
th characters go their separate
way with nothing but memories
left of their experiences.
The story will not startle the
reader at any point and he will be
able to predict each happening so
closely that the reader soon feels
that he ha conceived the plot
himself but it is entertaining
throughout. The writer's purpose,
undoubtedly, wa to depict a state
fair from the standpoint of those
who had some real interest in It.
We must admit that he does do
thi admirably.
The plot, itself, ia quite ordinary,
but it serves as a vehicle for some
effective description and adroit
characterization. A family of Iowa
farmers the parents and a young
boy and girl go to the state fait
with their hog, "Blue Boy." The
farmer's interest lies solely in the
hog, while the farmer's wife di
vides her interest between the ling
and her prie pickles. However,
the two young people don't turn
out to be star 4-H clubbers but 1o
have some experiences that are
rather broadening.
The girl meets a young re
porter, who has a decided penchant
for roller coasters. Their acquain
tance progresses and he proposes,
but she is of the opinion that their
lives can never blend in marital
harmony. The farmer's son also
has an affair of heart an1. like
wise, the girl in the case decides
that their Uvea are too different to
be conducive to domestic happi
ness. We are of the opinion that the

author was stretching the point a
little, when he tried to make it
appear that these young couples
were so incompatible. After all,
haven't there been many success
ful marriages between people with
backgrounds were even more var
ied than these in the story?
The character of the village
storekeeper seems to stand out
prominently in the reader's mind
after he has finished the book, al
though this rustic prune peddler
merely expounds homely philoso
phy during the first and last chap
ters of the book. Here is a per
sonality that would have added
great deal to the tale if lie had
been carried throughout. If you
have ever attended a state or
county fair, read the book.
Incidentally, the novel is being
made into a moving picture with

Sallv Filers as the farm-girl; and
Philip Holmes as the farm-boy.
