American citizens are becoming more and more engrossed in the general topics of world poli tics, international trade, and world peace programs. In his Tuesday morning speech at the Temple theater Mr. Sokolsky, prominent newspaperman and writer on Far Eastern affairs, spoke to a full house. The student turn-out proved to be very encourag ing to the all-university convocations committee, which promises to sponsor a aeries of outstanding meetings providing student support merit such a program. The student body expressed itself in re gard to the subject Tuesday morning. Mr. Sokolsky outlined graphically and humor ously the situation and relations between Japan, China, and Russia. He concluded his talk by dis pelling all fears of imminent war between either Japan and the United States or Jaapn and Russia. His talk was entitled "The Tinder Box of Asia," but be seemed to refute the idea that there is a tinder box in the far east The title, however, proved to bave its advertising value. The World war taught citizens of the United States that this nation can't rest back assured that it is Isolated from the old world, its politics, and troubles. United States was dragged into the great conflict by its interests and not by the ideal of sav ing the world for democracy. American citizens were fired to fight by the slogan "Save the world for democracy," but now that the number of dem ocracies is diminishing because of the war those people are beginning to become curious as to causes of international developments, and are studyng the patterns of world political activities. Since the World war this nation has played the role of idealist. It has refused to use its supremacy in financial fields as a ladder on which it could climb to a position of the world's greatest power. President Wilson, in 1919 and 1920, was responsible for the establishment of the League of Nations, but the United States senate repudiated him by refus ing to Join this country with that body. American people are now asking if this country, with the power in its hands of reigning over the world, was right when it organized a naval dis armament conference at Washington during Har ding's term as president If the United States so desired it could have established the greatest naval and military force in the world, because it had at hand the only reserve supply of capital in the world following the war. With this nation rather the center of international attention because of Euro pean debts and the World Court and League of Na tions issues citizens of the United States should feel obligated to study world politics and be ready to stato their views on any phase of the subject that might ccine up for vote at any time. As university students, seeking to develop a background and a body of knowledge that will serve to make us useful citizens in the future, we should bs interested enough in the international relations field to study it and attend the meetings of the International Relations club. Several such meetings will be held this year, and at each of the sessions topic of current interest will be discussed. sidered the most important The qualities and re quirements are: a. Literary and scholastic ability and attain ments. b. Qualities of manhood, truth, virtue, etc. c. Exhibition of moral force of character and of instincts to lead and to take an interest in his school mates. d. Physical vigour, as shown by interest in out door sports or in other ways. Another requirement necessary is the comple tion of at least two years of work in a recognized liberal arts college. Is the award and prize un wanted here? Rhodes Scholar shi p. Whether it Is lack of interest, poor publicity, unattractlveness of the award, or a group inferiority complex we do not know, but it is a fact that univer sity classmen and graduate students are not apply ing for Rhodes scholarships in as large numbers as before. With the deadline set at Thursday, Nov. L only two had filed for the Oxford university 400 pound (about $2,000) awards Monday afternoon. Dean Oldfather, in charge of applications on the local campus, declared his inability to explain the lack of interest Last fall thirteen applicants for Rhodes scholar ships failed from this campus. Each year five stu dents from this campus are selected from among the applicants to complete in state eliminations, and from this state two men are sent to the regional competition. Needless to say, it will be difficult for the committee to select five men from among a list of two or three aspirants. It is foolish for an outstanding, versatile stu dent to forego the opportunity to try for one of the Rhodes awards. He may, if he is lucky enough to survive stats and regional eliminations, go to Ox ford for a couple of years. It would be hard to esti mate the value of such an education and experience. Such an educational experience In a foreign land would make on cosmopolitan la attitude, would give one an international and cultural appreciation attainable in no other way. !abj students art eligible. Why don't they file? A Rhodes scholarship is one of ths most aoug bt after scholastic awards in ths world. It is awarded In the United States on the basis of four groups of qualities, the first two of which Mr. Rhodes con- Bound Memories. Coincident with the opening of the annual Corn- husker year-book sales drive Sunday came the an nouncement that the 1934 edition of the publication was rated AU-American by the National Scholastic Press association. Such recognition places last spring's annual among the first ten of the nation, this honor speaking very well for the splendid work of the staff. General campus opinion last spring held that the 1934 Cornhusker was one of the best to appear in several years. University of Nebraska publications are keep ing subscription levels down at an unusually low level. At the start of the present sales drive the Cornhusker business manager announced a new low price for the annual. At the start of the school year the Dally Nebraskan sold at a cost lower by a dollar than any other college dally in the United States. Enough has been said concerning the value of an annual to the purchaser. It holds what will some day be beautiful memories of undergraduate days, It is a history book of undergraduate life. If a stu dent can possibly get the money to buy a Corn husker he is foolish if he doesn't do so. Again the year book will have a beauty section. Queens of all sorts are introduced on this campus each year. Every podunk is represented by a beaute ous member of the superfluous royalty at the Uni versity of Nebraska. Overdone display and fanfare announce the appearance of queens, sweethearts, colonels and what-nots at several affairs high-light ing the season's program. We wonder if the Corn busker isn't being a bit optimistic and overly-expect ant in expecting the pictures of beauties or so-called beauties to mean much to an owner of the 1935 year book twenty years from now. The beauty section is quite useless and out of place in the annual, but the Nebraskan grants that the Cornhusker is certainly well worth the money. Ag . Column BY DICK JACKSON and GORDON HOBERT CONTEMPORARY COMMENT The Responsibility For Moral Progress. One of the commonest assertions to be met with in the public press and elsewhere is that human nature is the one unchangeable fact of the ages. It has been frequently made, for instance, in con nection with the opening of various Egyptian tombs, and the unearthing of the Mayan ruins of Yucatan. The discovery of toilet vanities used by court beauties of thousands of years ago, together with evidence of class antagonism, luxury and ostenta tion, as well as of the cruelties of war, demonstrates that the world of yesterday was not very unlike the world of today. Men and women then behaved in much the same way as men and women now, and were actuated by similar motives. The horrors of the late World war and the devlish lethal devices now being designed in preparation for the next are sad reminders of that which human nature is still capable. History, however, shows that human nature can and does undergo change; but the change is never automatic, and it is always liable to swift rever sions. The moral gains of organized society need to be scrupulously guarded, or else they speedily vanish. The most refined nature can be brutalized; the most sensitive may be transmuted into the most sinister. Robespierre is said to bave been naturally gentle and tenderhearted, but that did not prevent him from becoming a monster of murder. We of the western world today have received a moral inheritance in which compassion, a sense of Justice, and consideration for the weak occupy a larger place than in some other places and periods; but it could be lost The late war did something toward deteriorating its quality, a social-economic upheaval might reduce it still more or destroy it al together. The price of progress in this as in anything else is unwearied vigilance. There is no more necessary task than that of keeping the moral sensibilities of the race keen and strong. Lot Angeles Junior Col legian. What Price Defeat? BY JAMES CRENSHAW. EDITOR COLLEGE NFWS SERVICE. Well! We blinkered our (editorial) eyes in astonishment and read the most remarkable headline of the season: "Yen, Tech Lost: So What?" That amazing caption topped an editorial in a recent issue of The Tech Talk at Louisiana Tech. It literally spells the dawn of a new day! "Although Louisiana Tech's varsity football team suffered the 'sling and arrows of outrageous fortune' at the hands of Southwestern Louisiana In stitute last Friday night" said the Tech Talk, "it is gratifying to observe that the college this week is going right ahead with the fulfillment of its major purpose the education of 1116 young men and wo men who are here to learn something. Yes sir, we're still plugging along with high spirits Just as if nothing terrible bad happened. "Just because Tech loses one game, or two games, or three games, or four games this year, no student is going to pull up statces and go to some other school. Our record-breaking enrollment cer tainly is not due to any spectacular football team in the recent history of Louisiana Tech. " Those paragraphs bave earth-shaking signifi cance. They mean that football is about to be re turned to the colleges. They mean that football once more will become a sport rather than an industry. There was never a more ardent grid fan than the writer of these lines. We nave boosted and written about football teams and players for years. but so help us! we have never ben able to see the all-fired life-and-death necessity of any college win ning every game. The Tech Talk does not represent an isolated attitude, we realize now. On the contrary, it rep resents a new understanding of sportsmanship a sportsmanship that spells ths end kick-and-kitl-'em era when ws cheered the team if it won and fired the coach if it didn't There is something Browningeaque in this new philosophy that the game, after all, is the thing. Farmers Formal was a huge success. The Activities building was transformed into a hay loft by building a celling of rafters and supplying the proper horse stalls and cow stanchions. Bales of hay and straw, bundles of corn, tumble weeds, and logs of wood were Interspersed whever oppor tunity afforded. In one o fthe two horse stalls were two very life like horses. In the other stall were the chaperones. On the other side of the room the orchestra set in the cow stanchions. Those who decorated the room and planned me attair allowed their imarina' tlons full play and the results were very pleasing. t ranny Young and his orchestra proved adequate for the occassion The dancers wanted music and they got it. Ardith Van Housen was chosen queen by the men. Phillip Henderson and his partner won me prize ror tne best dressed couple. Those in charge of the af fair are to be commended on their work. Neil Hall, a member of the senior livestock Judging team, had an anusual experience at Kansas City during the American Live stock show. They judged a class of red hogs that were numbered with green chalk. As Neil is color blind he couldn't see the numbers. After some quick thinking he took the group leader in tow and with him to tell Neil the numbers on the hogs he judged the class. The group leader thought Nell rather queer but Nell claims he placed the class right anyway. Perhaps it hasn't occurred to some but Col-Agri-Fun will be held this semester instead of the second as has been the custom. The tentative date is Jan. 11.

Gavin Humphrey also of Lin' coin and a junior in school was ap pointed manager of the varsity team by Captain Speer, rifle team coach. Dunklau is a two letter man on the rifle team and Gavin earned his first letter with the squad last year. Both men are planning a successful year for the rifle club. They are anxious to secure shoulder to shoulder shoots with any qualified team in the sur rounding vicinity. According to sergeant McGim- sey, active non-commissioned of ficer in charge or rifle team oper ations, no matches except practice ones will be fired until next semester. YEARBOOK SALES GOOD, SAY COBS IN EARLY REPORT (Continued from Page 1.) Frank Crabill, present editor, stat ed that the 1935 product would not be one degree smaller either in size or content. The 1934 Cornhusker, by virtue of its Ali-Amerlcan ranking, auto matically becomes one of the ten outstanding annuals in the entire nation as seldom does the National Journalistic Publication board award more than that number, Crabill said.

WILHELM PAUCK TO SPEAK ON WESTERN CIVILIZATION CRISIS (Continued from Page 1.) era! secretary of the university Y, reports of Dr. Pauck's work in other schools this fall have been very favorable. Albert B. Coe, D. D., of the Congregational church, Oak Park, 111., says, "Professor Pauck fcas a significent religious message for students today. Of all my acquaintances I do not know anyone to equal his superior ity in rock bottom religious em phasis, spiritual comprehension and personal magnetism." in a report from the State Nor mal School of N. Y.. Principal R. W. Swetman states, "To a rare de gree Dr. Wllhelm Pauck is able to make religious philosophy present able, understandable, and attrac tive to college students. . . . His audience, composed largely of stu dents, followed his addresses and discussion with a quiet. Intensive enthusiasm." During his stay in Lincoln, Dr. Pauck will also speak at the fac ulty luncheon at the Grand Hotel on Thursday, Dr. Patterson's sem Inor class on Thursday afternoon. the International Friendship ban quet at the First Christian church on Friday evening, and the Lincoln Ministerial association cf the city Y. W. C. A. on Monday. Nov. 5. It is expected that all those who have frequented the Y. M. forums in the last few months as well as large number of other students will attend this evening to hear Dr. Pauck, according to Charles Hulac, president of the Y.

Young People of World Broadening Interests; YW Head Sweaters Shape and Color Preserved Cleaned by Safe Methods Sensible Prices! Modern Cleaners Souknp & Weitover Call 12377 for Service Uncounted thousands of young people, the world over, who are as sociated with the Christian move ment of today are widening their interests to include those of many other countries, according to Mrs. Harrie Chamberlin, of Toledo, O., who is national president of the Y. W. C. A. A former member of the board of trustees of Toledo university and of Wells college, from which she was graduated, Mrs. Chamber lin, who is serving her second two-year term as national presi dent is touring the United States in order to organize neighborhood conferences with all the Y. W. groups of each state. Delegates from the entire state of Nebraska will congregate Wednesday at the city Y. W. building for a meeting. Recently returning from Geneva, Switzerland, where she attended the world council meeting of the Y. W. C. A., Mrs. Chamberlin said. In Europe, hard times have not appreciably dimmed the enthusi asm of youth for the ideals which they have. As in the United States, the young people have a very difi nite interest in religion. It is a thoughtful interest which searches for a true philosophy of life." "New leaders have risen in many countries," continued Mrs. Cham berlin. "One German boy told me that he firmly believed in the re birth of Germany. He did not be lieve in nazi principles but fervent ly declared that God was uniting Germany." Progress in International de velopment is possible believes Mrs. Chamberlin, but countries which have abolished religion thru gov ernmental decree or carelessness aill retard their development to a gieat degree. "Young people of today," con cluded Mrs. Chamberlin, "must de cide for themselves whether loyal ty to their country will overshadow their personal beliefs and ideals." Rev. Dean Leland and Mrs. Le land returned from their trip re cently, so Jock has returned home. For the past two weeks he has been the house guest of Miss Polly Gellately. While his master and mistress were away, Jock received a card from them from St. Louis.

LACK OF INTEREST IN RHODES AWARDS SEEN Committee Sets Nov, As Final Date for Filing, While meandering around An drews yesterday, we came upon Maurice H. Weseen, the author of the new slang dictionary. It has just recently been published by Thomas Y. Crowell Co. and in cludes 1,500 slang expressions. It seems that this is the seventh book Mr. Weseen has wrilten, besides numerous shorter articles. He is a graduate of the University and has been a member of the English department for a number of years. Besides his English work, the au thor is a pioneer in the field of radio-correspondence. His newest book is a result of years of collect ing venacular expressions, slang phrases and aueer Idioms. The definitions of everything imagin able, pertaining to slang, is in this book, from the 'dizzyy blond to 'hang over.' Every evening at 6 o'clock, those listening in to radio station K. F, O. R. are apt to hear their latest doings told to an eager public. Trie reason Is Miss Jane Doe, latest version of Walter Winchell on the local campus. Not only does this anonomus miss tell where you favorite boy or girl friend was seen with some one else, but all the rest of the choice bits of core which happen, so look out! Orcliesig Practice to Be Held Wednesday Night Junior orchesis practice for those interested will be held in the Ar mory Wednesday evening from 7 to 7:30. At the end of the seven weeks, tryouts will be held for membership in the organization, and in eight weeks, girls may Join. This meeting is the third of a -ries and six more are to be held. Georgia Kligore is president, and Misa Moore is faculty advisor. According to the Brown Dally Herald, an average of thirty-eight football players are killed each season in the United States, while only ten fatalities are recorded in Spain as a result of bull fights, despite the fact that the latter is reguarded as a more dangerous sport A surprising lack of interest In the Rhodes Scholarship competi tion by the eligible students was reported by Dean G. H. Oldfather, chairman of the Rhodes awards committee, as the final date of fil ing draws near. Thursday, Nov. 1, has been set as the last date when applications will be accepted. Unless there is a last ' minute rush, this year's number of entries will fall far below that of previous years, Dean Oldfather indloated. Only two students have filed for the awards by Tuesday afternoon, although there are four or five others have secured blanks.
