Contemporary Comment in the Friday, Sept 21 edi
tion of The Daily Nebraskan. The main body of
the editorial waa concerned with the fact that too
many people, and especially those who want to, be
lieve that all pacifists are communist and radical
reds. Of course they believe that ia the worst slam
they can deliver the pHcifista. After reading this
exchange elltoilai fi'Oin the Daily Callfornlan,
W. K lnuni'lieii Into the tirade printed in these col
umns today.
VV. E. obviously la one of the crowd, which it
is easiest to be. He speaks, for instance,, church
preached Communism, when he ahould realize that
Communism as it is now practiced in Russia opposes
the church. On this point he become rather inco
herent, in tact his reasoning is hard to follow, or
even to detect. He feels that Communism thwarts
individuality, a belief held by those who have the
idea that Communistic administrations give every
man the same number of rubles, irrespective of his
position in life. A prejudice which W. E. had firmly
planted in his mind before he wrote to the Nebras,
kan is that Communism ia wholly bad, The Ne
braskan doesn't preach Communism but it doesn't
believe that each man supporting that theory of
social living has whiskers, baggy trousers, and a
bomb. If W. E. feela that he la well-informed on the
subject, he has a perfect right to be of auch an
opinion.
person to do it but educating and building up lq
the individual the hatred of It, the will to ignore It
completely, and the desire for fair-mindedness in so
ciety. The spirit of unselfishness carried to the degree
that it destroys personal property and personal re
sponsibility la communistic, thereby Injuring and
belittling Individuality. The spirit of unselfishness
cairied to a more moderate degree stimulates better
and happier society and fairness in spite of and In
harmony with competition.
Let ua have the latter and destroy all attempts
at extreme radicalism. Let ua set up our Idealistic
theories aa the ultimate goal and not the practical
solution. We will then be concerned with our own
participation In society and with what we can do in
its behalf, and not in beginning at the wrong end
of the problem, the result, and trying to change or
abolish it without first knowing, changing, and
abolishing the cause. W. E.
Revoke That
Decision!
"TUESDAY afternoon the Athletic department of
the university took a rather drastic, hasty step
in cancelling Corn Cobs program sales contract,
which has held for several years. Without fair warn
ing concerning impending action the rather startling
move was made. Athletic department officials
have slaled that freshman athletes may spII the
programs at football games, but Tuesday evening
would make no positive statements concerning that
phase of the subject.
No alternative source cf revenue has been pro
vided the Corn Cobs or thought of by officers of
that men's pep club merely because no margin of
time was given them in which to do so. As a re
sult of the sudden and startling action of the in
tramural director Corn Cobs will probably become
extinct within a few days.
gEFORE making a decision such as they did ath
letic department officials should have faced
Corn Cobs at the Wednesday evening meeting,
stated and outlined their sentiments and difficulty,
and above all should have given Corn Cobs another
chance at selling programs.
It is true that program sales comprise a pure
and simple business proposition, and that in the
past Corn Cobs have sometimes demonstrated great
indolence when they were supposed to be selling the
pamphlets. But this fall an energetic Corn Cob ad
ministration has already outlined extensive plana
for a year whole-hearted support of the team. At
the start of this revitalizing program the Cobs are
threatened with extinction.
The Nebraskan does not say that it would be
wrong to take the sales concession from Corn Cobs
next fall, for instance, after a warning had been
given. In fact such a move after time had passed
following warning would be none of the Nebraskan's
or Corn Cob's affairs. After all, selling of pro
grams is a business, as we said above, and is a
business of the Athletic department.
HARGES which the Nebraskan levels at the
athletic administration are:
1 That the Athletic department broke faith
with the student body, to which, In the last analy
sis, it Is dependent. If there were no student body
there would be no athletic department. Corn Cobs
has been an influential and valuable unit In the ac
tive student body. The club hat filled a niche which
mutt be filled by tome group designed to instill pep.
2. That the act of cancellation was unsports
manlike In that (a) they gave no fair warning, leav
ing Corn Cobs without a means of financial support
and without time to devise one, and (b) they re
fused to Inform Corn Cobs of their decision Imme
diately after making it
To Mr. Harold Petz, director of a fine men's
Intramural program, and who previously possesses
an unblemished record of service to the student body.
The Nebraskan addresses the suggestion:
That Corn Cobs be again awarded the program
sales contract, so they can have a fair trial this fall,
and will be given plenty of time during which they
can devise another medium thru which revenue can
be secured.
The whole point around which the argument
centers from the Corn Cob viewpoint is that the ath
letic department was negligent and unsportsman
like in refusing to grant a time allowance.
If the athletic department refuses to revoke
Tuesday's action it will be only too obvious that
they wish to use this concession as a means of sub
sidization of athletes.
e
Finally, The Nebraskan wishes to say there
must be a man's pep club on this campus. Such an
organization develops student spirit, becomes re
sponsible for much of the success cf rallies, and
thru these channels gives athletic teams backing so
essential to their success. ,
Before Corn Cobs become extinct, If they must
do so, some substitute organization must be formed
to replace it Again we repeat to the athletic de
partment that such formation will take time.
JEEP mistrust of mankind is imbedded in W. E.'s
soul. Ah, "the sly, scheming, two-faced French,"
the nasty men indeed! Propaganda can do wonders
with any one, so don't feel picked on, W. E. Truly,
the French are quite like the rest of us they want
to be happy, another of these idealistic impracticali
ties, we suppose.
Ideals are the motivating force behind all posi
tive social gains, and always will be. Too often,
it is true W. E., ideals are coupled with too little
knowledge.
The editor of the Nebraskan firmly believes
that young people of other nations wish Just as
much as those of America do to develop a society
in which they will be permitted to find a satisfac
tory measure of happiness. In other countries there
is more suppression than here, and here there is a
rather universal don't-give-a-whoop-untll-it-affectS'
me attitude.
There is a definite challenge to youth today
to continue struggling toward a dim Utopia, This
isn't meant as mere prattle; it is fact, the only fact
that Justifies our being here.
JF only young people of the world could cooperate
in some way to build themselves a better world!
This generation will be here for quite a spell, and
is capable of doing wonders if it gets started soon.
Collegians are organizing in what W. E. would deem
radical, and thus dangerous, groups. If they are
radical, on with radicalism!
All young people who may some day be called
to the front, hate war. The Californian editor doesn't
stand alone in that sentiment But the responsi
bility for eradication of the evil also lies with young
people. Most of our elders don't care what is done,
because they will never be personally affected by
another world catastrophe.
But before action there must come knowledge!
The editor thanks you, W. E.. even though he dis
agrees with most of your points and prejudices.

Health Service.
TO THE EDITOR:
Perhaps when one contributes to this column
with unerring frequency he becomes known as a
"crank." Nevertheless I am of the opinion that the
situation up at the student health clinic is not all
that it should be.
Take for instance a personal experience. Rush
ing madly up to see the doctor I found my way
blocked by thirty or thirty-five FERA men all want
ing a complete physical examination. There being
no other course I could follow I sat down in the
office and waited. First I saw six FERA men go Jn
ahead of me, then several more.
At last my turn came. There I had sat for a
matter of something like thirty-five minutes. When
I gained admission from the nurse to see the doc
tor I felt sorry for him. There were men lined up
all around the sides of the room.
Clearly such a situation such as this should
have something done about it by one pharmacy
dean whose name needs no mention. Why not, Mr.
Pharmacy Dean, help out your faithful servant Dr.
Deppen who does all in his power to get things
done in the limited time in which he has to do
them? Would it be requesting too much for you
to find some other young physician to help the
doctor out during his busy hours? At least that
might be a thought for consideration. Perhaps
some day you might have occasion to see the doctor
immediately and if the tables are then turned so
that you have to do the waiting and suffering per
haps you will be more willing to see that this de
partment is not so deficient In its number of em,
ployees. L. A. H.

We IS'eed
Idealism!
IDEALISM appears as a trait of youth, and more
often than not dies out in each individual after he
meets with the cruel world. It would seem to the
Idealist that practical life disillusions one, that
Ideals become useless for weaker persona who find
it necessary to compromise or give up. But ideal
istic youth has faith or hope at least for a time. In
rare Instances idealistic adults are encountered.
W. EL, In today's Student Pulse column flays
Idealism as Impractical, particularly In regard to In
ternational relations. He maintains that idealistic
theories should be set up as the ultimate goal and
not the practical solution. Sounds like procrastina
tion. Hs must have one of those 'tomorrow" com
plexes, believing that things can be done tomorrow,
forgetting that there is no such thing as tomorrow
that It never comes.
Student Pulser W. E. was aroused to words by
an exchange editorial "Is Peace Radical" run in
Word Againnt
lladicalixm.
"We bate war and we're proud of it!"
This sort of sentiment might have crossed the
minds of men for ages, and for good reason.
Like polities, like ethics, like art there are
Idealistic theories with reference to pacifism. And
all of these theories are noble and worthy of being
striven for. But there are many conditions which
make the Idealistic theory not only impractical and
ineffective but downright fatal.
Charity and consideration extended to unworthy
and scheming countries and peoples is lOCTfc futile.
Ignorance cannot be dealt with by Idealism in any
form; fairness an,! leniency has no place in Intrigue
and deception.
With the world in its semaclvtllzed state; with
black corruption In politics; with the sly, scheming,
two-faced French; and pious, church-preached Com
munism; we must think of purging, cleaning, and
wiping out, not preventing or "prohibiting" any of
these measures. The extremist peace movement is
a radical tendency since It is the result of a wild
belief in an ideal of society which will probably
never be completely realized. The extremist peace
movement must succumb to the same fate aa did
prohibition. The reason La simply the misconceived
and misguided way in which the problem is ap
proached. The only solution of such a problem
must be in making it fundamentally impossible
not by prohibiting it and daring every red-blooded

All members of the Membership
Staff are to meet in the drawing
room of Ellen Smith hall on
Wednesday at 5 p. m.

The Student Council will meet
Wednesday afternoon at S o'clock

subject of rallies only.
