Pep Club Enters Third Day
of 1935 Cornhusker
Campaign.
OFFER NEW LOW PRICE
Editor Promises -Same High
Quality as 1934 All
American Annual.
Entering upon their third
day of Cornhusker sales activ
ity, Corn Cubs, Men's pep club
in charge of the drive, report
favorable results, according to
an announcement made Tuesday
by Irving Hill, president of the or
ganization. Recent checkups have revealed
that sororities and fraternities
have readily responded to the cam
paign, some sororities already
entering b 1 o c.k subscriptions
'While the money has been slow
in making its appearance as yet
there have been many promises
and indications point to a highly
successful campaign," Hill stated.
Emphasizing that the book is
primarily for future reference,
Maynard Miller, business manager
of the annual, stressed the value of
the yearbook as a complete record
of school life. People, activities
and all social life is completely
represented in both copy and pic
tures. "Every phase ot school from
athletic endeavour to religious
functions is included between its
covers," Miller declared.
Use New Cover.
An entirely new padded cover,
which is considered by many to be
the most beautiful yearbook cover
on any annual throughout the na
tion, will be embodies in the 1935
Cornhusker, Miller stated. The
cover consists of heavy boards on
the inside with felt padding be
tween the boards and the embossed
covering. "This combination makes
a very strong and durable product,
in addition .to its pleasing effect,"
Miller added.
Offering the 1933 edition to the
student body at a new low price of
$3.75, the Cornhusker staff is set
ting a figure which has not been
approached heretofore by any Ne
braska annuals or yearbooks
throughout the Big Six section.
Offer Installment Plan.
As another incentive to students
desiring to purchase the book but
not able to secure the adequate
funds, an installment plan has been
put into effect whereby the stu
dent may make a down payment
of one dollar when the book is or
dered. A second payment is to be
made on Dec. 1. a third payment
Jan. 10 and the final dollar is to be
paid when the book is actually re
ceived. Attention was again called, by
Miller, to the fact that candidates
wishing to file for the Queen sec
tion must have fifteen books pur
chased by their sorority. For each
entry it is necessary that the so
rority have purchased fifteen year
books. Mention was also made of the
fact that books procured after the
deadline, Nov. 10. would not be
considered in the count.
Rated All-American.
With last year's Cornhusker re

Mrs. Chamberlin Addresses
Group at Tuesday
Vespers.
Since nationalism is steadily
growing stronger and more aggres
sive, the youth of today is faced
with problems which, according to
Mrs. Harrie Chamberlin, national
president of the Y. W. C. A. who
spoke at vespers Tuesday after
noon, can be solved only by living
a fuller Christian life.
"The strain of nationalism is
very apparent In the youth of the
newer countries of Europe," as
serted Mrs. Chamberlin. "Each
country is very proud of this de
velopment and nationalism has be
come almost a religion in some
places. Racial problems are upper
most with some nations. In India,
where these discords are especially
apparent, plans are being made to
bring four American Negro stu
dent leaders to work with native
leaders in an effort to make a
round table discussion of the
Christian religion and to decide
whether or not they consider it as
belonging to the white man only."
"Problems of relations with
other nations and races are mag
nified in the life of every indi
vidual," continued Mrs. Chamber
lin, "and so these problems become
great challenges of the present
world. We must have the spirit of
Jesus to make our own lives more
abundant and to develop to the
greatest extent the lives of friend
whom we contact."
Before Mrs. Chamberlin talk,
the vesper choir sang "Prayer Per
fect," accompanied by Eleanor
Pabst. who also played a prelude.
Tribute was paid by Mrs. Hill,
chairman of the Y. W. advisory
board, to Mrs. E. L. Hinman, who,
prior to her death, had been a
member of that board. Mary Edith
Hendricks led the devotions and in
troduced the speaker.

SOKOLSKY DENIES
POSSIBILITIES OF
WAR IN FAR EAST
Asiatic Situation Outlined
By Noted Journalist
Tuesday.
LARGE CROWD PRESENT
Japanese - Russian Conflict
Can Benefit No One
Speaker Says.
Outlining the- far eastern
situation and denying 1 he pos
sibility of a war arising: over
the prohloni, Oeorjie K. Sokol
sky addressed an audience of
500 at 11 o'clock yesterday at the
Temple theater.
The noted journalist stated that
up to Sept, 19, 1931 the situation
had been a struggle for Manchuria
by Russia, Japan, and China. The
country was a corridcr among
them and the problem was, which
one could get it first.
"After 1S53, Japan began look
ing for territory in which to pur
sue an imperialistic policy and
sought to drive Russia out of
Korea and Manchuria. In order to
do this Japan evolved a policy of
imperialism by corruption. For
two generations they bought Chi
nese officials." stated Mr. Sokol
sky. who is recognized as an au
thority on the Far East.
Mr. Sokolsky asserted that
Chang-Tsu-Lin, leader of the Man
churian state, had tried to main
tain a balance between Russia and
Japan by remaining; friendly to
both but not becoming sub-sevient
to either. Following his death, his
son plunged the country into a
war with Russia which was against
the interests of both countries.
"He undertook the task of driv
ing out both Russia and Japan
when neither Manchuria or China
had the strength to do so," ex
plained the speaker.
In discussing the League of Na
tion's part in the affair, he stated.
"Great Britain and the United
States are the only nations that
could have attacked" Japan by sea.
Great Britain was busy and United
States was not a member of the
league. The United States is the
only country that could boycott
Japan and she was in a depression
and needed al lthe trade," con
tinued Dr. Sokolsky.
The newspaper man dispelled
fears of a prospective war in thi
east by saying, "A war between
Japan and Russia can benefit no
one. It would divert Russia iror.i
her principle problem of establish
ing a modern state, and it would
transfer Japan's interest in her
problem of establishing an im
perialistic country.'
As to the possibility of a war
between Japan and the United
States, he declared that the United
States does not want Japan and
Japan could not take the land of
the United States.
"There is les st rouble in the
Panfic than in Europe or this
country nght now." was the
opinion of the speaker in conclu
sion. Professor J. O. Hertzler. who in
troduced Mr. Sokolsky. announced
that the next all university convo
cation, will be Dee. 6. when Pro
fessor Bernard Foy will speak on
"Literature and the Modem
World."
AT POLITICAL MEETING
Attorney General Candidate
Addresses Republicans
Wednesday Night.
i
R. O. "Vic" Johnson, republican
candidate for attorney general,
! spoke at the combined meetings if
the University Young Republican's
I club and the Lancaster Vunty
Young Republican's club at the So
cial Science auditorium last night.
The speaker, who is a graduate
of ihe law college of the university.
spoke before the largest crowd to
attend a political meeting on the
campus during the present cam
paign. Speaking of the attorney gen
eral's office as the second most im
portant in the state. Mr. John.son
said that if elected, he would de
vote his energies to the settlement
of the water rights controversy
between the state of Wyoming
and Nebraska concerning water of
the Platte river.
On other state issues. Johnson
came out for a reorganization of
the state banking department, and
also stated the policy of the high
way department should be changed
to stop building what he termed
"political highway" to that of
hard surfaced road for Nebraska.
On national issues in the present
campaign, Johnson said the prin
ciples of our forefather", of our
constitution and our government
were at stake, claiming that the
liberties of the people were being
greatly impaired. A proof of hi
statement, he pointed out official
Washington apparent approval of
Upton Sinclair' campaign for the
governorship of California.
At the conclusion of the meet
ing, at which Lee P. Young, pres
ident of the university republican
club presided, officer of the Lan
caster County Young Republican
club were introduced, and various
announcement a to future meet
ings were made.
