Strange to say, educational Institutions of this eountry havs to data failed to offer courses In cur rent sventa. Many students are wholly or to a great extent lacking In knowledge of the world as it lives today, of events taking place day by day, and ths significance of these events. No one at the University of Nebraska seems to be alarmed at the indifference and lethargy of un dergraduates in regard to the world drama being enacted outside of the campus. This doesn't mean, however, that some one shouldn't take note of the fact and find a remedy. At many other schools stu dents and administrative offioials have for some time been discussing the crying need of a current events course, and they are moving at a good rate toward establishment of such classes. A current events course of Instruction with a reputable and complete newspaper as the text would be a wonderful and helpful addition to the univer sity curriculum. It would seem logical and not over optimistic for one to expect social scientists to wel come such an Innovation. Since military drill on this campus is compul sory, it would also seem entirely in keeping with common sense to institute a compulsory course In world peace, In which students would study causes of war, the present system of war department prop aganda, and possible means of Insuring world peace. Part of the time in teaching such a course should also be devoted to assuring students that pacifists sren't necessarily Communists with bombs and long whiskers, and that they really do, as a general rule, have good common sense and logical reasoning be hind their opinions and programs. Liberal education, such as universities purport to offer, should include what would be the most practical of courses, a current events class. Watch Out for The IVasty Redi! Prof. Frederick P. Woellner, economics faculty member at the University of California, Log Angeles branch, recently made the following statement ac cording to the Los Angeles Times and the Daily Calif ornlan: "These peace societies which are springing up on all sides are merely cats-paws of un-American Interests. Tou will notice that every league of this sort has radical directors, not that they care for peace, but because the movement is an outlet for Russian propaganda." This statement comes from a member of a uni eriity faculty! Pacifist organizations are beginning to get some results, for instance the senate Investi gation of munitions manufacturers and their meth ods. These results have come about through chan nels of the capitalistic system! If Communists were behind the paclfialtlc organisations they would ,ln the background, see to It that nothing came of the efforts, of those groups, because success brought about through a system opposing Communism would be disastrous for Communism. The western professor declares that peace Is un American. Does he actually believe that? The con tention smells like something coming from the lata TANGLED YARNS BY O. W. D. As the news of the assassination of King Alex ander of Jugoslavia, and Foreign Minister Louis ajarthou of France, flashed over the cables, diplo mats throughout the world wondered If this were to be another spark that would send the world Into another war. For It was in 1914 that a similar as stssination In the Balkans touched off the powder train that led Austria and Serbia into conflict, quickly followed by Russia, Germany and France. Other countries Including Great Britain, Belgium, Japan and the United States were all drawn Into the struggle to make the "world safe for democ racy" and today the same world is still struggling to get over Us effects. King Alexander, the 48 year old monarch, and the 72 year old French foreign minister were killed by Petrus Kaleman, a Jugoslav, ahortly after the King had arrived in Marseilles to consider a plan which would leaaen the war tension in Europe, and more especially a plan which would insure at least peace, if not friendliness, between Italy and Jugo slavia. The S3 year old assassin died two hours after bis murderous acts as a result of sabre and bullet -ounde at the hands cf the party's escort. It is vet too early to know what the consequences of the act will be. King Alexander will be succeeded to the Jugoslavian throne by his II year old son. Prince FeUr. who is now attendlnr school ia Bor land. It is believed by many that war win be averted, at least for the present eartnou, nerore Ma untlmelv death, had been busy throughout Eu rope working for peace, and though his work is at n end, perhaps his efforts have laid a foundation for a permanent peace. a a For ths Dast few days, American farmers in nine states have, been voting on two questions proposed by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. The first question was: "Do you favor an adjustment program dealing with corn-hogs in 1933?" Farmers In eight rtate.1 said yes, 171,4119 voting for, and 102, E against. Only the state of Kansas turned down the program. a a In Nebraska, 27,326 contract-signers voted yes, and 26,372 voted no. On the second question, which was stated: "Do you favor a one-contract farm ad justment program dealing with grains and livestock to become effective In 1936," Nebraska farmers voted a decisive two-to-one no. Non-signers, on the first question, voted approximately four-to-one against the program. a Hither and Thither: The only thing dizzy about 'Dlszy" Dean seems to be his speed . . .

CONTEMPORARY COMMENT Academic Reversion. "Every faculty member of Syracuse university will be required to take an oath to support the constitution of the United States and the constitution of the state of New York." Syracuse Dally Orange. With one netiforeinr law passed by an irrational learlalature In a special summer session, the state of New York utterly destroys the ideal of the univer sity which centuries of intelligent, painstaking edu cators have struggled to build. The university, ever since medieval days, has regarded the passing of critical Judgment on the o-overnment of nations as its unalienable preroga tive. Especially, in the United States, where a large percentage of the great minds or me country are undeniably concentrated in institutions, professors, unhampered by dependence upon political plums, weigh and pass upon tne governmental acuviues and theories of political science. Studenta. eaa-er to delve Into the intricacies of national and international affairs, may be the re cipients of biased explanations and partial opinions, riaiiwatnlv distorted so as to avoid reprisal by the university administration, if this indirect control of professors is continued. There is no doubt mat the law. while not directly dangerous to faculty freedom, can easily be distorted to affect liberal thinking when such thought is considered "radical and orjDOsed to the constitution. The intent of the legislature, we presume, was to prevent the dissemination of pernicious propa ganda through tne medium of "radical proressors. Such an attitude is a tenable one, but the means em ployed to attain such an end is misguided and bad. After all, a professor of political science can aitacK the antlouated hierarchy of s-overnmental bureau- lization without coming under any of the lavish la bels so impotently used by the cmcago rriDune to designate emissaries from the land of the Soviets, undermining our government. In essence, therefore, the dispute ranges arouno. the lnternretatlon of the oath as it will be made by individuals and organisations of different view points. The Cardinal feels that witnout ooudi, it will ha Invoked to curtail freedom of thought and expression at New York universities. The situation of a forala-n nrofessor coming to New xorK state to conduct a course, and his being required to awenr allegiance to our constitution, may be unique but the possibility still holds. Daily cardinal. Paddle Dictators. Unlveraitv men used to pride themselves on be ing "collegiate," wearing wide-bottom pants, and hazing the freshmen. Today these tnings "just aren i being done." However, there still remain a large group of "Joe College" fraternity men who pride themselves on their ability to break a paddle on a neophyte who has "assumed the position." Soma of these sonhlstioated individuals really believe that they are instilling the desired qualities of loyalty and respect m tne rresnmen pieuges oy wleldina- the "chastisement board." The Individuals who maintain this naive belief are unfortunately the members of the fraternity who lack tne amiiiy to command resnect from anyone, even the lowly frosh. They are not respected by their own frater nity brothers who have known them ror several years. The paddle-wielders are quite aware of this tart and aaek to obtain the next best thing, a super ficial respect maintained by the pledge who la cowed by the threat of i paddle. These "Joe Colleee" boys suspect that the pledges voice their real opinions among the other neophytes and as a result tney rawe tne paaaie whenever they fear that the pledge is showing any tendency that reveals his real thoughts. It Is difficult to determine what any honest fra tamitv man expects to achieve In permitting puny dictators to continue these practices. They may be proceeding on the theory that every tresnman neeas a certain amount of paddling to get Into "the spirit of the thing." They may think that because they suffered during their pledgeshlp that it is their duty to carrv on the tradition. If these same individuals would ponder lor.g enough to remember their own pledge days they would recall that paddling aid not increase ineir reanaet. friendahin. or lovaltv to their fraternity brothers. It did Instill a sullen respect which con cealed a real and lasting hate for some individual who "carried it a little too far." Then there is another group of Individuals whs believe that they are helping the freshman adjust himself and thut the only means of discipline avail able to carry out this work lies in the paddle. These individuals believe that the common denominator to all freshmen problems lies in the "chastisement board." Even the moat elementary knowledge of psychology will warn anyone that all pledges do not have the same temperaments. The self-sufficient student who has had some experience In handling his own problems will resent high school tactics such as paddling. The bewildered student who is finding it difficult to adjust himself to his new sur roundings will be further confuted If he Is punished without meriting it. By this time "Joe College" will be protesting that discipline cannot be maintained without pad dling. Perhaps in fraternities where the upperclass men are really weak individuals It will be impos sible for them to maintain respect any other way. ...u m. th.ru i little to offer. If in cnara iuvu o "" '-- pledges have to live In this kind of environment they won't amount to anything anyway. It Is un fortunate that they pledged such a fraternity and If they are real men they will break tholr pledge before it is too late. Whether or not force Is used pledges will imitate the older members of the house. The neophyte sees each active member of the fraternity as a BMOC and if the active members conduct themselves In the right manner the results will be seen in a real pledge class. And the last bit of advice to the pledge is this: Don't be afraid to protest paddling because yon are afraid of being called "yellow." Coach Bob Zuppke who knows courage when he seas It, Is strongly op posed to fraternity paddling, and so is every Intel ligent individual on this campus. The Dally llllnl.
