The cation's executive met with auto mobile manufacturers Wednesday afternoon. Desperate efforts are being made to avert the strike, which would paralyze America's leading Industry.

The president took a hand Wednesday when he per uaded the unions to accept assist ance from Federal Co-ordinator Eastman in their argument. They did refuse to discuss the matter further with representatives of the railroads. The general strike, If and when It happens, will involve more than sixty separate strikes. More than 35.000 laborers are ready to an swer the call ot their unions. Un less something is done to avoid the trouble the situation will become serious Indeed.

NEED FOR WORLD ORGANIZATION IS VOICED BY ALLEY Eastern Professor Speaks Wednesday at Student Forum Luncheon. SAYS MANY ANARCHISTS Some Form of International Government Necessity Historian Asserts. Emphasizing the fact t lint the world has become a neigh borhood with sixty groups of ne i u i hoi's - m a k i n i - tt n -int cr rm - tional society, Prof. Aldon G. Alley, well Known nistonan ana Bvnort nn Intprnfttinnnl affairs. spoke at the Wednesday noon Stu dent orum luncneon at me uranu hotel. The title of his speech was "What la Hnnneninc in Kurone. and What It Means to America." About 100 students and faculty members attended the luncheon. The speaker outlined world af fairs as they now exist, and de clared that some form of world government, is a primary necessity at this time because of the fact that the nations are so bound to gether in an economic and political way. "Most people now are anarch ists," declared Mr. Alley. "They are not anarchists in respect to city and national government, but when it comes to international or ganization, the majority oppose organization and governmental in stitutions." Cause of World War. Mr. Alley pointed out the fact that one of the principal causes of the World war was the disorgan ization of the world family of na tions, that between 1920 and 1930 the nations were progressing toward the establishment of a peaceful world society, but that since 1930 the trend has been back toward international anarchism. In substantiation of this belief Mr. Alley described conditions at present in Germany. He stated that because of economic distress and the conviction that they are being unjustly treated as a nation, rcormuna are reverun? ia uie pre-war attitude, ana tun actually being glorified 4n tne minds of the young people of that naticfri. With economic distress maddening them they are willing to ti!ke virtually any steps to rem edy the situation. This condition coupled with the opinion that they are the slaves of European allies has spurred them into the state of mind represented by Hitlerism and nazism, according to Professor Alley. Germany's Back to Wall. At one time in Germany, related the speaker, there was the belief that something must be wrong with Germany to cause the gen eral dislike for the nation on the part of other countries. But now the situation has changed. Ger many has its back to the wall, and (Continued on Page 4.) MIXER Fifty NIGHT Dance Party Opens Series Of Activities for Ag Organization.

Superintendents Feel That Study Centers Throughout State Proven Successful Despite Big Handicaps That the relief study centers in Nebraska have been suc cessful in spite of handicaps such as lack of an adequate number of readers; the fact that additional enrollees could not be accepted, or an additional 100 study centers approved, after the stop order of Jan. 18, is being enthusiastically affirmed by the study superintendents out InO the state I This work might well be made a project tnruout tne unitea States," comes from a superintend ent in Avoca, Nebraska, "and the cost of such an undertaking would certainly amount to less in a year than the price ot one battle-snip.' Constructive Work. Personally, I feel that no more constructive piece of relief work is being done than that of the study center," is the opinion of one from Plattsmouth, Nebraska. "Mil lions of dollars are appropriated for canals, rivers, and sewers, while a continuation of the study center work would be an enriching experience for the. hundreds -fif young men and women engaged in It. To my notion, it comes less near being a dole than the whole lot of It." Many of the superintendents be lieve that the study ecenters have been a great benefit in reducing the amount of unemployed, In giv ing students contact with college, and Influencing the community. This venture has opened up a new field In education, and one states that there Is a possibility LOEFFEL ADDRESSES FAIR RALLY TONIGHT Ag Event Manager to Show Moving Pictures of Past Events.

The big job after the Thursday night rally, Farmers' Fair board members said, is the work to be done in committee meetings. All major committees are expected to meet and outline the definite work at hand. It is high time for every com mittee in the fair to be at work.

Cultural Value. "Beyond the actual cultural val ue of the study center, these un employed young people have been, thought It, taken out of the de spondent street-corener groups of down-and-outers who, without doubt, have untold Influence on the minds of the students. And in ed ucational circles we condemn such an influence, believing that any thing which is not actively con structive is destructive." This statement comes from a superin tendent in Palisade, Nebraska. The Relief Study Center move ment has been a unique educa tional adventure. There is noth ing comparable to It in any other state in the union. The fact that no other state was employing a similar Net-up has made the de velopment here in Nebraska more difficult in thatthere were no com parison of standards from other stntps that could be used as guides.

The new uniforms, rour tons or inem wilu a value of $12,000 dollars, were shipped from the Philadelphia supply depot. They are now be ing hauled from the freight de nnt hv the universitv trucking service and as rapidly as possible tney are Demg unpacKea oy vamu nel Kidwell with the aid of sev eral assistants furnished by the university for the occasion. According to Colonel Kidwell, this is an enormous task as every uniform must be accounted for, in spected, and checked with the bill of lading. Then each uniform must have the proper size stamped upon it in indelible ink. However, he expects to have this completed in a couple of days so that the Is suing" of the -uniforms can begin m the early part of next week. Colonel Kidwell savs that 1,400 uniforms were shipped, which is a consideramy lower numoer man ne generally has on hand. The uni forms consist of coat and pants of the same style as are now being used. The color is nearly the same, but the cloth is olive drab serge with blue lapels. The Colonel claims that the uniforms will give greater satisfaction as the cloth used in the new uniforms has many advantages over the old melton cloth Issue. It is lighter but firmer in texture and will keep its shape and press much longer than the old garments. The old uniforms will be sorted into two lots. One lot will be reconditioned and shipped to CCC camps in different parts of the country. The old garments that Kidwell had on reserve were shipped back several weeks ago. Colonel Kidwell said that the exchange would probably be made by companies when they meet for their regular drill. Theta Sigma Phi Initiates Seven Girls Wednesday Afternoon.

Dancing He-Man's Occupation Says Ted Shawn; Is No More 'Sissy' Than Football, Wrestling, Other Sports "Dancing for men is just as 'sissy' as is football, -wrestling, hockey or any other sport which requires the utmost of vitality, stamina and efficiency of movement," claims Ted Shawn, who with his group of allmen dancers will appear in Lincoln on Wednesday, March 28, in the university coliseum. Mr. Shawn, who is pioneering in "masculine dances lor masculine men, believes, further.o that it is impossible for an athlete to gain real prominence In his sport without that grace and poise which characterize dancing. "Rhythm underlies all successful achievement in the athletic world," Shawn believes. "When you see a football team shifting with perfect precision, or a spectacularly ex ecuted double play on the baseball field, or a basketball team passing the ball with uncanny ability, you are seeing men dancing. The real thrill in football is not in the dog piles in scrimmage but in seeing beautiful leaps to catch forward passes, the backfield aces dancing lightly thru broken fields eluding would-be tacklers. A basketball game is, in 18 entirety, really group dance. Someday the genius composer will come who can set it to music." Nothing "Sissy" About It.

BARBS CANCEL PARTY AFTER NQ Student Activities Building Not Available to City -Campus Groups"."" v MAY SPONSOR ONE MORE The All-University party which was scheduled to be held at the Ag college Student Activities building on Saturday, March 31. has been cancelled, according to Burton Marvin, chairman of the Barb council. This was to have been the seventh of the All-University par ties on the campus this year and the second one on the Ag campus. At a meeting of the Ag execu tive board last week a ruling was made prohibiting any but Ag cam pus groups from using the activi ties building for parties. This rul ing automatically cancelled the fi nal party. On March 10 the Barb council sponsored a party in the Ag college building. There is still a possibility that another party might be held In the coliseum this spring, but the chances are that one will not be scheduled. According to Mr. John Selleck, finance manager for stu dent organizations, spring parties in the Coliseum have never been successful, and It Is doubtful whether another party would be feasible. Five Varsity dances have been held in the Coliseum this year. The first one was the Welcome dance on Sept. 16; the second on Sept. 30; the third, the Dad's Day party, Oct. 2; Winter party, Dec. 9, and Feb. 17. Valentine day party.

To bis classes of hundreds of men he gave a respeel and real liking for the art of the dance not tap dancing or foil; dancing but in using the body as an instrument of expression. "The freshman were the hardest to win over," Shawn confesses, "until one day I consented to teach them a tango. The next day some of the best athletes in the class ad mitted to the finest cases of muscW strain they had ever had, and 11 think it rather increased their res pect for dancing as a he-man's oc cupation. The fact is that dancing r quirics everything that any sport requires, and besides a co-ordins-tion which very few of the best (Continued on Page 4.)
