Indo-British relations. Dr. S. L.
Joshi. upper caste Hindu now
teaching at Dartmouth college,

cation at the Temple at 11 o'clock
Thursday, called upon the students,

sympathetic study of Asia and its
people.
"The British," Doctor Joshi, who
was an exchange professor and
lecturer at Nebraska during the
second semester of 1922-23, ex
plained, "are a people blessed with
little imagination. They are
'doers.' The Indians, on the other
hand, are given to introversion
to thinking, rather 'than acting.
The natural result of the misunder
standing of these two people has
been conflict and trouble."

GERMAN PROFESSOR
SPEAKS TO SOCIETY
Dr. Pfeiler Gives Talk
At Knife and Fork
Organization.
RovipwHnr nresent conditions in
Germany and declaring that too
much alarm is Deing evmcea over
recent developments there, Dr. W.
K. Pfeiler, professor of Germanic
languages, addressed the Knife
and Fork club at the Cornhusker
hotel Thursday noon.
Dr. Pfeiler stated that in many
respects, Germany is two nations
in one, the nationalists comprising
one, and the socialist, liberals, and
communist the other, with a wide
rift between the two.
"Hitler's anti-Semitism campaign
served to unite these elements,"
stated Dr. Pfeiler. "He said to a
group of capitalist, 'I will protect
you from communism,' and to a
group of communists, 'I will pro
tect your interests from the cap
italists.' Then as an outlet to their
feelings he pointed to some Jew
ish bankers, stirring within them
all their old and ancient racial pre
judices." Declaring that he was "no pro
phet," Dr. Pfeiler made no prediC;
tions as to Germany's future.

He denied that religion should be
taught as dogma or theology in
advocating the study of it as a
part of America's educational
system. He also deplored the em
phasis placed upon natural science
in the schools.

PROPOSED CUT WITH
Meeting Is Outgrowth of
Student Mass Assembly
Held March 23.
At the invitation of the special
investigating committee of the leg
islature which recently submitted
a report on university appropria
tions, a committee of students met
with the legislative committee
Wednesday evening to present in
formally the attitude of students
toward the proposed cut of uni
versity appropriations. The meet
ing was held as an outgrowth of
the student mass meeting held two
weeks ago.
The legislative committee ex
pressed sympathy with the stu
dents' concern that fees might be
increased as the result of the dras
tic cut in university appropria
tions. Several of the members of
the committee also agreed with the
students that the rider attached to
the appropriations bill obliging the
university to withdraw from the
North Central Association of col
leges and secondary schools, would
work a hardship on students de
siring to transfer credits from one
school to another.
The necessity for reducing ex
penses of government and conse
quently the necessity for cutting
university appropriations drastic
ally was emphasized by the legis
lative committee. They expressed
the view that the cut was tempo
rary, and that university profes
sors who really had any concern
for the state should be willing to
sacrifice their salaries in view of
the fact that they will still be
much better off than most farmers
and business men in the state.
The student committee express
ed their concern that the best pro
fessors in the institution might
eventually be attracted to more
lucrative positions. In reply, the
legislators declared that it was
their hope that the cut would be
temporary.
Members of the legislative com
mittee who were present at the
meeting were Senators Green and
Neeland, and R e p r e sentatives
Vance, Bock, Mueller, and
Beushausen. The student commit
tee was composed of Jack Thomp
son, president of the Innocents so
ciety, Jane Axtell, president of the
A. W. S. board, and Phil Brownell,
editor of the Daily Nebraskan.
