Studying the
Living World.
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.

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.

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.

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.
