The University's
Children's Hour.
Editor's Note: This is the third
of a series of editorials derived
trom the provisions of the univer
sity catalog dealing with student
conduct The editorials are de
signed to indicate the dubious
worth of certain of those provi
sions, and to reveal the degree ot
antiquity which make some of the
regulations of less than no value.
A GREAT American poet, Long
fellow, once wrote a poem en
titled "The Children's Hour," the
first lines of which may perhaps
have a beating on a sentence in
the university catalog. . The poem
begins:
"Between the dusk and the day
light. When the evening's beginning to
lower,
Comes a pause in the day's occu
pation Which is known as The Children's
Hour."
Applied to University of Ne
braska students, the same spirit is
expressed a little, differently in the
form of one of the numerous
"Rules and Regulations Governing
Students" which are set forth in
the university catalog, presumably
to guarantee the wholesome youth
of the boys and girls who struggle
up to college. Says the regulation
(Sec. 32):
"Dinner dances and hour dances
may not be held on midweek nights
between 6 and 8 p. m."
The hours of 6 and 8 p. m. are
thus irrevocably devoted to The
Children's Hour.
THE precise purpose of this re
straint seems a trifle vague
from the student point of view.
For this mle, sanctifying the hours
from 6 to 8 p. m., very effectively
places a ban on certain functions
w hich might perhaps really be de
tijable. Those functions might be
classified under the heading "pro
n.otion of student integration," but
a more understandable name is ex
change dinners.
These functions have been tried
ccvarionally by various groups
only to have the ban invoked.
Probably the nature of these af
fairs is not generally known, there
fore, because of their illegality.
Ejiefiy they am quasi-social af
fairs among organized groups
whereby the various houses act as
host to one another on infrequent
occasions.
The feature of exchange dinners
v. hich commends them most is the
informality of them. This form of
fi-vial activity then may really
soj-ve a purpose in developing ac
quaintances and fostering friend
ships among students which is not
provided in any other way.
i T Nebraska, this feature should
be of especial importance in
developing student acquaintances,
for this university presents in
many respects an almost un-
-lualed example of a student body
lacking h imosreneity cf spirit and t
means to develop such a unity.
This particular form of social ac
tivity may not be a panacea for
supplying this lack, but it could be
of real aid in molding a stronger
feeling of unity within the student
body.
The Nebraskan again asserts its
understanding of the necessity for
regulations governing the activi
ties of students. It recognizes that
social affairs may come to be too
greatly emphasized. But it be
lieves that this particular provi
sion is one which might well be
abandoned along with others which
are either unenforceable or un
necessarily restrictive.
The communist students on the
campus are hollering for vodka in
stead of beer these days.
Pershing Rifles
To the Rescue.
MAKING the world safe from
pacifists is the job just un
dertaken by the national headquar
ters of Pershing Rifles here at Ne
braska. Declaring the true atti
tude of the student body to be op
posed to the radical anti-war stand
recently given some publicity, the
campus military organization Fri
day issued a statement of its posi
tion. The Nebraskan grants that the
Rifles' stand undoubtedly repre
sents the attitude of by far the
greater majority of the student
body as well as the attitude of the
mass of people of the country. The
Nebraskan also wishes to praise
the organization for not employ
ing any villifying adjectives in
damning the student pacifists. This
alone is a marked advance over
some past exhibitions of prepared
ness sentiment emanating from
this campus. It is also a vast im
provement over the attitude of
such organizations as the Ameri
can Legion who cannot express
their attitude without calling those
who disagree with them ' commu
nists." But the Pershing Rifles' state
ment seems to have a few flaws in
it even if their belief in the neces
sity for preparedness be conceded.
They declare that preparedness is
necessary "as long as the fit out
live the unfit." A subscriber to
that belief could not consistently
support a war on any grounds, be
cause only the most fit are allowed
to go to war and get killed- The
unfit are the ones who survive a
war. Such was the experience of
the major combatants in the last
war. The statement is also sub
ject to criticism on the grounds
that it assumes that fitness is
synonymous with preparedness.
THE organization also declared
itself as opposed to "the boy
cott of any nation, race, or creed,
by any other." This is a very com
mendable stand, and no doubt
serves to reflect credit on the or
ganization and detract attention
from the ideas they are trying to
advance in opposition to pacifist
doctrines. Certainly it is irrele
vant to the idea that pacifism is an
untenable doctrine.
Similarly the opposition express
ed by the organization to "signing
treaties or alliances depending
upon the territorial integrity of
any other nation" is entirely ex
traneous to the point at issue. It
is a very commendable stand from
the pacifist point of view, however,
since many conflicts have origi
nated from the assumed necessity
of defending the territorial status
qua
Coming to the point, the Rifles
state their opposition to "the con
stant reiteration of Dot wanting to
fight, because it only causes ag
gressive feeling in other nations."
The Nebraskan itself could think
of far better reasons fo- opposing
this pacifist attitude. In fact we
believe that no one can seriously
believe that if someone declares
himself unwilling to Tight, others
immediately are possessed with the
desire to beat him up.
ACTUALLY, the reason for op
p sing this anti-figtt position,
is the fact that it tends to break
down the main element of the mil
itary attitude. This attitude com
pels blind obedience to command.
It thrives on colorful display. It
is based on mob feeling and mob
action. The individual and the in
dividualistic doctrine is absolutely
irreconcileable with this attitude.
The Pershing Rifles, to be accu
rate, should have opposed pacifist
sentiment on these grounds. When
rational thought is applied to the
military traditions and policies,
those traditions and policies are
undermined. There is some slight
danger that the pacifists may ap
ply this rationalistic attitude to
the idea that fighting is necessary
to preserve our institutions. The
militarists must watch out that
this rationalistic attitude is never
I allowed to come into too close con
tact with their doctrines.
The Pershing Rifles are on the
watch.
In response to the editorial hint
that The Daily Nebraskan might
be willing to accept Russian money
if it were offered, the editor was
presented with a five kopec coin
yesterday. Now we are irrevoca
bly tied up with the Russian prop
aganda campaign.
IRELAND HAS BIG PART IN
PUTTING ON BLOSMET
SHOW, SAY 15 HERB

the Klub and the shows is making
the choruses one of the outstand
ing features of the show, accord
ing to Jack Thompson, president
of the Klub and co-director.
With sufficient modesty Ireland
explains how he got his break on
Broadway. "It was through the
Kosmet shows that I got my
chance to play in musical comedies
on Broadway. It was after I had
danced through the part of Chin
chin, a green imp in the show,
"The Wishing Ring," written by
Cyril Coombs, that I met the peo
ple from New York who offered
their help in finding me a dancing
job in New York should I ever go
there, ' explains Ireland. "The de
sire to dance on the New York
stage was too great for me and I
left in the month of April of the
spring m which I was to graduate
from the University of Nebraska.
My time on the musical comedy
stage is an experience that I will
always value and never forget."
When Doc feels in the mood he
goes home, puts on a record and
then sits and visualizes a chorus
routing. Having visualized the ef
fect he gets up and repeats the
dance, trying to make it as nearly
the same as the one of which he
made a mental picture as possible.
Among the parts be has played
in such Kosmet shows as "The Yel
low Lantern," and the "Wishing
Ring," Ireland best enjoj-ed the
role of the colored maid. Sepia, in
"The Dream Pirate," one of Her
bert Yenne's first attempts at the
Kosmet spring shows.
Ireland received his D. D. S.
from the College of Dentistry in
1927 and came back to the univer
sity to receive his Bachelar of Sci
ence in 1927.
When "Bar O Ranch cpens
April 25 with dances so clever that
the audience will forget the kick
ing limbs are shaven, muscled legs
of men you will see why Ireland is
called a 'big part of the power be
hind the throne of glory.' .

Contemporary
Comment
A Book for Die
State Sheriff to Read.
In "The Front Page," satiric ar
raignment of modern police meth
ods, told in book and play by Ben
Hecht and Charles MacArthur,
"Pinkey," the sheriff of Cook
county, yells "Reds!" when chided
by the newspapers for having bun
gled in the capture and conviction
of a man subsequently sentenced
to hang.
Whenever "Pinkey" got into a
tight corner he fell back on the
"Red Menace" as he pleaded with
the newsmen not to be too hard
on him for, he argued, to "keep
pounding me is bad for the admin
istration." Sheriff Mike Endres, criticized
by the University of Nebraska's
daily newspaper for not being ac
tive enough in the Fairbury bank
robbery, is quite sure he has un
earthed a "communist plot" in the
university, quoted as saying,
"We've got enough on them to
show thev were trying to set up a
' communist organization within the
university."
j Sheriff Endres should walk over
to the Lincoln public library and
get a copy of "The Front Page."
If he has a sense of humor he will
enjoy the story; if he hasn't well,
"Pinkey" was a "Red Baiter" too.
