IT has been suggested of late in the Nebraskan edl torial columns that the university rid itself of the millstone, compulsory military drill, and establish in the curriculum courses in Current Events and World Peace. All three of these moves would be closely linked in promoting true academic freedom on this campus, building a better balance than ex ists at present, and forming a foundation of pro gressive thought for present student generations to use in public work later in life. As the situation now stands students are sadly lacking in authoritative and thoughtfully interpreted knowledge of current affairs and their implications in regard to the future. Secondly, there is little student thought on this campus on the subject of world peace, possibilities of establishing it, causes of war, and openings for personal application of ffort in the field. Thirdly, this university forces military drill on all male freshmen and sophomores in that way refusing to give the school program proper balance. The military department is givex full right to disseminate sugar-coated propaganda on this campus, while the volume of facts opposing that propaganda is offered no avenue by which it can reach the student body. Should such a situation as that outlined above be typical and inherent in any college or university? Certainly not! In fact, an institution can't rightly claim to be doing its duty If it condones such a state of affairs within its walls. If there is any militarist on this campus who fails or refuses to see the lack of logic and outland ishness in the present system here at Nebraska he is either pitifully foolish or expressing a blind pa triotism for this nation, a sort of loyalty demon strably never working for the future welfare of the nation. As J. H. B. says in today's Student Pulse column "the true patriot is interested in doing the thing that will improve the welfare of his nation." If a man's action works for the betterment of his fellow countrymen he Is a patriot, Realising that all energy here on the local eampus is usually dispensed in words and cat ac tion, the editor of the Nebraskan again urges that a Current Events course be established by the fac ulty. A fine textbook would be one of the better d&ily papers, and periodical magaslnea and other daily papers would be good library references. As for a World Peace course, one needs only to say that students are woefully lacking in knowl edge; surrounding the subject. How many students realise what are the causes of war, how big a mis take the World War was, the significance of the World Court and League of Nations, Just what is tte European political situation, and how the pres ent situation has evolved directly from the clash of the machine age against closed frontiers ? Very turn, we veiture to say. If military drill remains compulsory, these two rrsea should be established and made compulsory, military drill is made optional, the other two courses should be that If the University of Ne braska program is to have proper balance these three, courses should be on the same level. Aren't there the facilities, the money, and the personnel fit to develop the above program here at ths University of Nebraska? Btudent Puhe $ugtelion$. During the past week the numerous Student Pulse letters have been sent to the Nebraskan office, most of them remaining unpublished because they were too lengthy. The editor of the Nebraskan will be glad to in clude in the column letters not exceeding five hun dreds words In length, contributions of Interest to the student body, and letters devoid of personal 1IU.1 and vindication. It Is desirable that in the columns of a student paper, or any other for that matter, all rides of every question be aired. It Is impossible for ths editor, in his daily writings, to be entirely impar tial or to offer a complete summary and analyse of the subject at hand. Student or faculty letters, or even contributions from outsiders, serve in many cases to clarify points under discussion. All contributions are welcome, but it is urged that writers shorten letters hereafter. In the col umn heading is a list of requirements to consider before submitting Student Pulse letters.

TO THE EDITOR: 1 beg to be permitted to Join the raging dis fuaaiuA on tcnspylscry alMary ?cnr. First of all. I adopt all of the editor's objections whole heartedly and without qualification hastening to add that J, C. L. has not very successfully answered these objections. Take the one about academlo freedom. A student, as the editor says, may choose his major course, as journalism or engineering. But that choice rightly assumes that a student must take courses In that field. How can one be a jour nalism student lest ho take journalism courses? This is not a suppression of academic freedom as J. C. L. believes. It is also high time that AmerU cans discarded the narrow patriotism which believes that patriotism consists In a show of military grand eur and declares "my country right or wrong." That Is NOT patriotism. The true patriot is interested in doing the thing that will improve the welfare of his nation in a world of nations without impairing the welfare of the world as a whole. Patriotism need not be, and true patriotism is not, the selfish nationalism that military training teaches. The editor has answered J. C. L. on his own objections very well but I wish to take issue wilh J. C. L. on two tenets which he sets forth. These are that "war is inevitable," and that "peace is in sured by preparedness." In the first place history proves that war in a prepared world is inevitable. But no one can dis prove that war is not inevitable in a world which is totally lacking in military tools. Vou cannot say that because we have always had war we will always have it. That conclusion doesn't follow. We've had preparedness since the first war was fought haven't we? Now let's try a hundred years of civilisation unprepared, without a single mili tary tool and see whether or not war is Inevitable as you suggest. You know full well that war would not occur so long as we remained truly unprepared. Now to discuss "peace thru preparedness." Is that any different than saying that the best way to cross a bridge is to go around it or the way to have a drought is to get a rainy spell? I think not. It doesn't follow that you create love by producing hate. Your suggestion is a negative solution. It is burning the candle from the wrong end. Why not try a positive solution? Instead of keeping pre pared until peace Is assured (which Is going at it backward) let's assure peace by ridding ourselves of all thesa military instruments which prepare us. This is the positive and forward way. That is what all peace action is trying to do. Human nature is as fundamentally good as it is bad. It isn't any more human nature to fight than It la to refrain from fighting. That conception of human nature is being rapidly discarded due to the teachings of modernistic Christians. Let's be fair with human nature. Mr. Editor, no one is more determined to see compulsory drill eliminated from this campus than I am. I hereby pledge my assistance to you in this campaign and offer myself to any who may need me In achieving this valuable reform. J. H. B CONTEMPORARY COMMENT College Daze. Only subconsciously and vaguely does the average student seem to realize that America is passing through a revolution, a revolution which Is altering the lives of millions of individuals today, and changing the lives of millions tomorrow. Is America facing squarely today the issue of liberty? Is President Roosevelt following In the path of Hitler, Mussolini, Lenin, and his successor Stalin? Hss the New Deal fed the hungry, aided the farmer, decreased employment, and expanded business? Whither America? Does the university student know? Does he want to know? Approach a student on the question of the New Deal, and the follow characteristic remark will be obtained, "I'm for it, I guess. I was making $15 a week last summer and the NRA raised it to $18." There his thinking process seems to have ended he might just as well take a correspondence course In etiquette as attend university. However, this typical answer Is an evidence of a certain atti tude the average student has on world affairs. He is interested in the small whirl of affairs which di rectly affect his temporary and petty interests. He has forgotten to read, to think, and to ponder. Of course, the university student, exhibit A, Is busily engaged with committees, coke dates, and sororities and fraternities. He does not have ihe time to investigate frivial affairs such as our gov ernment. Because it is the "thing to do" most students read the headlines of the daily newspaper. He feels obliged to be informed as to whether the president is In Honolulu or Chicsgo, and whether handsome Tugwell has startled more lawyers with his fluent vocabulary. It has been said that the student lives in an artificial world, that he is only pushing away out side affairs because he must all too soon face them at the end of his college days. However, what la the purpose of a college career If It la not a preparation for the world of today? Whether he likes it or not, recent governmental legislation will become a vital concern in every student's life. The nation roust be shaken out of its lethargy. Each individual must become government conscious. When the university student, supposedly the thinking and Intellectual class of youth, fail, what has America to hope for? The Daily llllnl. Browsing Among Thm Books By Maurice Johnson No writer has seen fit to put into words the wide flat land of Nebraska and the raw character of its people. Charles Sheldon's factual history of the State does not rise above mere recording. Cer tainly the person to write such a book it would be non-fiction is Willa Cather, but she probably baa no intention of doing so. And It smi to me that whoever does undertake that responsible business had better get it started. It is sUll possible to con verse with Nebraska's Diamond Dick about the out law Frank Grouard and the peculiarities of Calam ity Jane, but before long Diamond Dick will be dead, the best of his story with him, untold. Carl Carmer'e book-about-a-8taU. "Stars Fell on Alabama," shot high Into best-seller Hats this summer. It was doubtless ever-rated, but the State's grotesque, dark beauty made Itself reality in Canner's telling ef the conjure country, the Cajan country, the decadent whites. He pictured the State as one set apart because of Its strange ways. Now Carreer Is said to be writing a similar book about New York State. Harvey Fergusson s 'Rio Grand."

All classics students are Invited. Ozarks" are important regional books of not-too-long-ago. The latest is Lewis Gannett'a little Cook about America's Vest, "where the hot-dog stands give way to the barbecue-sandwich signs." Gannett is an Easterner, a columnist for the New York "Herald Tribune," and the West as he discovered it was a revelation to him. Skirting Nebraska entire ly, Gannett and his family drove West through Ok lahoma and back to New York through North Da kota. He found the West full of Model T's, overalls, hospitality, and beans. Somewhere In the Navajo country the Gannett automobile sank deep into sand. A grizsled and earringed Indian finally brought help, but there was no little surprise In the discovery thatlhe grlz sled Indian had gone to school thirty-eight years before in Connecticut, only four miles from the Gan nett's home. His only comment was: "No like Con necticut. Connecticut too wet." So the Gannetts drove through desert and farmland, discovering new ways of living In Illinois, Texas, California, alike. The family slept in cabins at Glendive, Mont., listened to Indian tribal songs at Taos, New Mexico, drove through San Francisco fogs, and ate breakfast at Brownie's in Dayton, Wyo. Gannett has called this slight book 'Sweet Land," and It Is a book not without Interest. Such words as 'bushwa," "bull," "jitters," "willies," and "whoopee" are included in the huge Websters New International Dictionary of the Eng lish Language,' which has just been published. Writing of the work in the Nation magasine, H. L. Mencken complains that he cannot find "bullfest," "nurts," or "bathtub gin" listed. He also thinks "Klwanls" and the "Sex Boys" should have been given space In the newest Webster's. Mencken thinks old Noah would be pleased by this revision, and he calls it the "fruit of a really tremendous labor." e In the New Republic, magarlne for October 17, Robert Herrlck writes enlighteningly on the sub ject of proletarian novels. Young 'writers in the jungle" he considers to be of import include Jack Conroy, Grace Lumpkin, Albert Halper, and Robert Cantwell. Their novels, says Herrlck, are more than clever reporting: "they have been lived first by their creators in the original terms of labor." Also: "The sudden emergence of this new labor lit erature on the heels of the neurasthenic school of postwar decadents concerned mainly with gin, sex, and Freud, is significant, prophetic."

PROFESSORS ATTEND T Schmidt, Aylesworth, Virtue And Snyder Guests at Omaha Friday. Professors Schmidt, Aylesworth, Virtue and Snyder, of the univer sity faculty were guests of the Omaha Taxpayers association at a meeting held Friday in the Hotel Fontenelle to discuss the adoption In Douglas county of the county management form of government, which was passed by the last ses sion of the Nebraska legislation. Professors Schmidt and Snyder are actively engaged in graduate research work in the field of tho county management form of gov ernment in Nebraska. Howard P. Jones, secretary of the national municipal league, and editor of their organ, the Na tionalist Review, was the principal speaker of the day.

Professor Aylesworth, in com menting on the trip, stated that the invitation tendered the pro fessors signified importance of the faculty of the university tn affairs of government, as most of the members of the association are prominent business men.
