For Sunday.
OLI-KCKS and universities of the country have
piesrr.tod sn interesting picture in the flux
m tiio p.ist few years, and student editors thru
o;.r t!.o courtly have not hesitated to label changes
t! at have taken place as evider.ee of a somewhat re
r. ;ii k;,! :e shift of attitudes within that vague thing
"the st'..iir.t mind." A serious outlook, and a grow
ir al-ility to penetrate to "realities" are cited to
explain sueh things as more student Interest in
world affairs and governmental policies.
The evidences of the changed attitude, however,
sre not confined to students themselves. While col
lege editors turn their attention to the gravity of
cionomie and political theory and they have been
rimng: that a rcst deal mors in the last two years
than ever before there are also educators who hail
the coming of a new age of promise to the campi of
America. It if said, for example, that social prob
lems clubs and similar organizations have grown
in importance in the scheme of undergraduate life.
The efforts to set up such organizations has cer
tainly been rather intensified, and both students and
ffcully members have given serious attention to
the various vocational enterprises that are so freely
classified as signs of a change in the American col
legiate scene.
It is not to be denied that to the individuals
concerned the aims actually represent the highest
kind of objectives. The fallacy does not lie there,
but rather in pointing to the increased interest of
students in government as an indication of educa

Contemporary Comment
A Trend
Explained.
Dr. Ralph C. Hutchison, presi
dent of Washington and Jefferson
college, told the annual convention
of the New Jersey Teachers asso
ciation that college education,
which has been so long a "racket"
has now reached the end of its
cycle and that, in the future, qual
ity in graduates will be demanded.
To the student now in a univer
sity who will not be graduated for
one. two, or three years. Dr.
Hutchison's words warrant consid
erable thought In plain English
he told the teachers that in the
future the mere fact that a person
holds a college diploma will not be
sufficient to g-et him a job or a
position. He must have more and
special qualifications.
That might be interpreted to
mean that the student now in col
lege must maintain an average bet
ter than the majority of his class
if he expects to get any sort of a
position, or make any sort of a
mark Oiis world. For, says Dr.
Hutchison, there are enough just
college graduates.
Another change that will come
will be the emphasis on personal
integrity. Pointing toward student
operated publications, dances and
the like. Dr. Hutchison declared
many of them were run purely for
the '"spoils." Such goings-on will
soon be of the past, he declared.

tional and mental advancement There has been a
change, in other words, but It la not the far-reaching
shift of Ideals ao much as It la the manifestation
of the social conditions of a period.
I ).;t ns examine, for a moment the activity within
the student bodies that is said to be represent
ative of a new era of achievement. That activity
takes a number of forms some of which include
departmental clubs, discussion groups, committees,
professional fraternities, and so or. but thru it all
there runs a thread of interest in affairs beyond the
confines of a local campus. In most cases this in
terest seems to center about government, partic
ularly as governmental policies may Influence the
professions or vocations, either directly or other
wise. Interest in government itself seems to be sub
ordinated i'i these undergraduate groups, to inter
est in the way government will effect the affairs of
the individual professions and vocations. The story
of the rise of that interest la both complex and in
teresting, but the point here Is that students, in re
vealing such an interest, also reveal that they are
concerned chiefly with nothing more profound than
their own material betterment. And while that is
not remarkable, perhaps shows that student inter
est in government Is merely an outgrowth of the
economic stress of a social period.
In reality then, the "student mind" hailed as
having taken an unprecedented turn to seriousness
is nrobably no nearer to actual maturity than It
ever was. What is seen as an improvement In think
ing is probably only direction of thought at an ear
lier age toward specialized vocational interests. And
ultimately that may very well prove equally inter
esting to observe.

VERRASKA'S football team doesn't need to leel
1 ashamed of its performance In Pittsburgh Sat
urday afternoon. The Cornhusker glory, while
somewhat dimmed by the defeat at the claws of
the Panther, a worthy opponent for any football
team, still shines brightly enough to credit upon the
school and its team.
The players who took part in the struggle in
Panther Hollow Saturday afternoon played a won
derful game. Not once did they quit. They were
fighting against tremendous disadvantages, some of
which were a heavier team, their own desires to
remain unbeaten, Pitt's desire to remove a team
from that class, the legend of Panther Hollow, but
they still put up a good battle.
There can be little doubt but that Pittsburgh
deserved to win. They exhibited a brand of foot
ball superior to that displayed by the Huskers. But
a defeat at the hands of Pittsburgh should be
neither shameful nor discouraging for a great Ne
braska team played a great game. Give them a
hand, you campus fans!

Decline of
The "Rah-liah."
"The "rah-rah" :-piiit, usually
characteristic of secondary schools
but common on the campuses of
the nation's greatest institutions of
higher learning a few years ago,
has returned where it belongs-to
the high schools, according to J. G.
Quick, for eighteen years registrar
at the University of' Pittsburgh.
Mr. Quick declares that while
the depression has done much to
make all Individuals serious, he be
lieves that one of the main causes
is the changed attitude of parents.
"When a father considers the out
lay of some S300 now he expects
the son and daughter on whom it
is expended to make good," de
clares the Pitt registrar.
For that matter, mother and lad
always have expected son or
daughter to "come through" in col
lege. It is probable that the blame
for the irrespemsible jazz ag :
should rest squarely on the younger
generation, and at the same time
the reason for the more serious
attitude at the present time must
be nothing other than the awakened
responsibilities In the students
themselves.

KIRSCH EXHIBITS PRINTS
As the first of a aeries of Sun

during the fall and winter at Mor
rill hall on the university campus,
Lieutenant-Commander Iv. It. Hunt
of Omaha will today present an
illustrated lecture on Samoa and
South Sea islands. Slides which
he will show were prepared by
himself while in that region.
Sponsored jointly by the Lincoln
Oanicta club and llie university
fine arts department, the program
will also mark the opening of an
exhibiiicn of the work done by the

details of nature, not ordinarily
noticed as being unusual. In the
exhibit Mr. Kirsch, well known for
his work in photography, will show
several of his prints: the tassels on
a corn stalk, the cables of a bridge,

tablish more binding lar eastern
relations."
Prof. Hill also stated that the
pact would bring about a better
international understanding, but
wruld carry no far-reaching re
sults. President Roosevelt's selection
of William C. Bullitt, member of
the state department and regarded
as an authority on the Russian
question, aroused considerable
comment among the university
faculty. Both Hill and Senning de
clared the president's appointment
as a good one, and very satisfac
tory. Stoke It Wat Needed.
"On the whole the pact creates
the opportunity to re-establish re
lations that should have been re
established long since," declared
Dr. Harold Stoke, Political Science
instructor. "I do not feel that the
move will create any immediate in
crease in trade, because the pure
recognition of Russia is not signifi
cant enough to establish confidence
of American business men in P.us
sian goods." Dr. Stoke declared
however that the move will not
tend to clarify the situation as far
as international relations are con
cerned, serving, rather, to increase
the complications.
Arndt May Be Disappointing.
From an economists point of
view the move is not particularly
significant, according to the opin
ion expressed by Karl M. Arndt,
member of the department ofeco
nomics. "Recognition of Russia
will bring about increased trade
relations only if we are willing to
buy heavily from them or make
large loans on generous terms,"
he .said. Arndt added that there
seems to be strong opposition to
both heavy imports or unlimited
credit, and expected trade benefits
may prove disappointing.
Prof. J. K. Sellers, memlier of
the dt-partment of History declared
that Russian recognition would
remove many of the differences
between the" United States and
KusKia. He also felt that the
move would make an indelible im
pression upon the world's diplo
matic channels.
Fling Germany Isolated.
' While I was opposed to the rec
ognition of Russia until Germany
withdrew from the leaeue, at
that time I felt that Germany
was attempting to build up arma
ments for another World war. The
recognition of Russia by the
United States isolates Germany,"
declared Dr. F. M. Fling, member
of th" history department, and
well knnwn authority on European
History.
Professor Fling felt, however,
that .he appointment of William
Bullitt as ambassador to Russia
was astonishing, feeling that he
had no particular qualifications
which fitted him for the important
position.
Further Approval.
Dr. J. M. Reinhardt, member of
the department of sociology, and
Dr. Nel3 A. Bengston, chairman of
the Geography department, both
declared that they felt the move h
beneficial one. Dr. Reinhardt de
clared that recognition of Russia
would, in a measure, prevent the
spread of communism in the
United States.
Dr. Bengston felt that the selec
tion of Bullitt was a good one. He
also declared that the move should
improve international relations.

My .students determined their

"and they elected, every ten dayi,
one of their number to supervise
the school,"
Well." I said, "then student
government is nothing new."
Aristotle went on: "I spoke to
them of many things. Mathemat
ics, and philosophy, biology, and
th. natural sciences. We discussed
these things at our meals and as
we walked near the atnieuc una.

asked in surprise."
-Assuredly," he replied. "As

before the mind, karly in their
lives all bovs should be handed
over to the trainer to attain proper

Rut athletics may be overdone,"

"Yes." Aristotle agreed. "But I
am speaking of athletic training
for every student, and not for the
few who do not need it, as I am
told is the practice today."
'Yon know, then, of the football
racket?" I asked.
"Yes," he said. "T have heard
how these new athletic enthusi
asms have made the university
coaches better known than chan
cellors. 1 have he Ard how propor

athletics than on any legitimate

ow no university in the country

"For a ghost," I told horn, 'you

"But nevertheless," he said, "ath

and my assistants compiled data
on the knowledge of the world

Students and teachers, working
together, produce a large part of
their living, the only cash expense
being $40 per quarter tuition. With
a number of the students largely
self-educated, there are no formal
entrance requirements, and since
its classes are solely of a prac
ticable nature, no degrees are
granted.
The cour::-; are divided into
curricula for two years work, the
first year course being intended to
familiarize the student with the
world of labor thought and the
second to provide for training for
some particular field of labor
leadership. Typical courses include
labor orientation, historical ma
terialism, proletarian literature,
marxism, imperialism, farm prob

dance at classes is optional and
academic standards are enforced

"I further understand that I am

cal education in lieu of the mili
tary science requirement."
Plan Works Well.
As it now operates, believes
Chancellor Burnett, the plan woiks
very well. It haa served, in his be
lief, to separate the real conscien
tious objectors from those who are
inclined to rebel against any sort
of requirements and more especial
ly inose wno seek to get out of
military instruction because of the
compulsory feature
"Of those asking to be excused
from military training. I am in
formed that by far the l&reer num
ber of those who at first believe
they are conscientious objectors
find after aa explanation of the
purposes of military instruction
that they are not conscientious ob
jectors, but are in fact seeking to
avoid a task that has been set for
lueui, lie sniu.
R. O. T. C. Since 1917.
Military training has been offer
ed at the University of Nebraska
since its early days, the federal
grant specifically mentioning that
type of training. Since 1917 the
work has been carried on as a part
of the Reserve Officers Training
Corps work. The chancellor ex
plained that while the federal rules
have been modified to some extent
that it is still the opinion of the
majority of the board of regents
that such training should be re
quired at the University of Nebras
ka. The local R. O. T. C. unit now
operates under the National De
fense act w hich establishes a small
standing army and a trained re
serve rather than a large expens
ive atanding army.
Eastern School Strict.
The Nebraska liberal attitude
was contrasted by the chancellor
with that at one large eastern
school which requires a signature
to the following statement:
"I am making this application
because I object to military train
ing on grounds of religion and con
science; in other words I am a con
scientious objector and I have uch
deep convictions on this matter
that I use that term to mean that
I will refuse to enter military ser
vice in case the United Statea en
gages in offensive war against an
other nation, and that I shall ac
cept such penalty aa the L'nited
Statea government may impose for
such refusal. If the United States
should be attacked by a foreign na
tion and should engage in defens
ive war. I understand that since I
am & conseienUoua objector, I shall
refuse to assist in the defense of
the United SUte at that time, and
that I shall accept auch penalties
as the government may impose far
my refusal"
