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

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

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

That the relief study centers in Nebraska have been suc

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."

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

R. O. T. C. will be proudly dis

well, quarter-master. 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.

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.

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.

that there was nothing "sissy"

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
