talnment 00 necessary in a student's life.
Realizing that Winter-time All-University par
ties featuring high-priced orchestras run Into finan
cial difficulties because of the chance of bad
weather and the consequent uncertainty of draw
ing a good crowd, unaffiliated leaders have de
veloped the new social plan. These new all-barb
parties serve as much better mixers than the All
University parties, because the latter are charac
teristically date affairs. If the party plan is con
tinued In the future the University of NebraHka
campus will be much better off socially than it has
been In previous years, when social recreation was
limited to the minority Greek group.
Somebody to
Show the Way.
COMETHIN'G which is sadly lacking at the Uni-'-'versity
of Nebraska, and which is very highly
developed and functioning smoothly at some other
educational institutions is a personnel directing bu
reau. Such a department has charge of vocational
guidance in the institution, and does its duty by
helping new students to select their future voca
tions by means of aptitude tests.
There is a sort of vocational guidance system
at work here at Nebraska, but it is too depart
mentalized, and because of that doesn't take care
of the student who lands in the wrong college imme
diately upon his appearance on the campus. For
instance, a young man may come to the university
intent on taking a teacher's course because his
brother or pal did so. He may, however, have no
aptitude at all for such life work or vocation. In
Teachers college there is a special freshman ad
visor, but there is no provision made for advising
or testing those who are utterly unadapted for the
teaching profession. As a result, a person is likely
to realize during his or her senior year that he or
she has been taking the wrong course.
The need could be taken care of by establish
ment of a central personnel directing bureau, the
function of which would be to guide the new stu
dent into the vocation for which he is fitted by
natural or acquired abilities and proclivities. Voca
tional tests would be taken by each and every new
student in the university.
In some cases the newcomer to the university
is certain about his future profession and needs no
help in making a choice. Numerous others, how
ever, close their eyes and take a blind chance. Some
times they are lucky, but there is too much chance
that they will be utterly unfit for their chosen field
and that they will be unhappy in that work.
High schools can do as much to help along the
line of vocational guidance as can colleges and uni
versities. Vocational guidance bureaus could be
established in the larger high schools that can
afford such departments, and in the smaller schools
teachers should take enough of an interest in their
pupils to aid them in the struggle.
Much is being done in the field of vocational
guidance by such men as Di. Charles Fordyce of
Teachers college, but there is still much work to
be done in the future. If the university Is to be
of the greatest service possible to the student, it
must help him in deciding what he snouid lane up
as a life work. ,
It is a pity that just at the time when such
Innovations should be established finances are lack
ing. It is true, however, that vocational guidance
is needed most in hard times such as these, and that
hard times cause cutting of budgets Both diffi
culties ere caused by the same thing, and because
of one of them the other can't be remedied.
For Student
Happiness.
To replace an All-University parly that was
once scheduled for this week-end, Barb Interclub
council and Barb A. W. S. league leaders have
planned an all-barb party which will be held in the
armory Friday evening. This will be the second
of such parties to be sponsored by those two organi
sations this year.
Development of social life for unaffiliated stu
dents Is a significant trend in the history of the
university. Such occasions meet a definite need
by offering social outlet for many students who
without such affairs would miss that sort of enter-
The 'Agree or
Shut Up Principle.
"I think all of us make the very numan
mistake of emphasizing that Hght which hap
pens to mean most to us. We ignore the other
rights. Now, I think all of those rights arc
equal. You know a lot of newspapers, who,
with tongues in their cheeks, purport to be
worrying about the supposed effort on the
part of the administration in these days to
abridge the right of freedom of the press. As
a matter of fact, the press In these United
States is freer than any press anywhere In
the world, and always has been.
"I don't know any one in the country
at least in the government who would re
strict the right of freedom of the press. 1
think all of us would go to the furtherest
possible limit to maintain that right. I may
say In passing that sometimes that right is
perhaps split a little thin. License is some
times mistaken for right.
"The point I am trying to make is that
there are other rights which are just as preci
ous, just as essential, just as necessary, if we
are to maintain our democratic institutions,
as the right to a free press. Those rights are
the rights of free speech and of free assembl
age. 1
"I notice newspapers from time to time
properly and justly are insistent upon the
maintenance of their own right of free speech,
but openly advocate, and In many cases even
condone, total dicrogard of rights which are
equally Imbedded in our constitution, and
which are equally important to us as citizens.
They are these two rights free speech and
free assemblage."
The above statements and beliefs were offered
in an address by Secretary of the Interior Harold
Ickes to thirty-three editors of college dailies who
gathered in Washington, D. C. during Christmas
vacation. They fit in appropriately with the stir
ring issues of today.
There has been a good deal of howl raised by
well-known news men about freedom of the press,
particularly since the beginning of the present dem
ocratic administration. Most of the difficulty arose
in connection with the NRA codes, one of which was
drawn up by the newspaper professional group.
Meanwhile, the Hearst chain of newspapers has
been advocating, just as Ickes suggested, the sup
pression of the equally important and constitutional
right of freedom of speech.
There is a strange paradox in the constant cry
by newspapers for the right to print what they
think. While they are demanding such rights they
use their columns for stories and editorials filled
with prejudice, and advocate restrictions of other
rights. A very common occurrence is that where
an editorial demanding continuation of freedom of
the press appears side by side with one poking fun
at some group that adheres to principles not ac
cepted by that paper. Such "Americanistlc" cam
paigns as that launched by Hearst a short time ago
have the above characteristics and illustrate the
point.
Liberalism seems to be all right as long as the
other fellow believes in the same thing that so
called liberals beieve in, but just as soon as an
opposing view sticks its head over the bill, crack
goes the whip of reaction.
Altho it seems rather out of place and un
ethical for one newspaper to criticize another for
its attitude toward freedom of speech, freedom of
the press, and freedom of assemblage, there is a
situation developing that demands correction and
clarification. Secretary Ickes brought up a very
good point. It was pointed out in the Dally Prince
tonian recently, however, that when opinions go
against his public works administration, Secretary
Ickes resorts to reprisal by suppression.
The college press has almost unanimously co
operated in attacking the Hearst press flurlng the
past week. College editors consider the tactics of
the newspaper chain-man and property-owner to be
exceedingly dangerous. It is imperative that free
dom of the press be maintained, but it is equally
important that the right not be abused by those
who use it.
A little more tolerance and true liberalism
would assure and guarantee the continuation of all
these liberties. The press is in a position where it
can use the privilege of freedom Of the press to its
own commercial advantage, but that privilege can
also be used to great social advantage. Newspapers
are too much Inclined to worry very much about
their own rights, but forget those of others.
Contemporary
Comment
If Integration
Is Sot a Sin.
A number of divergent theories
have been advanced by faculty
men and students on this campus
as to the proper manner of con
duct on the eve of a final exami
nation. -
A few of these are: (1) to go to
bed early, get up early and take a
CfM shower, (2) attend a movie,
(3) imbibe enough beer to com
pletely relax your mind and then
go to bed (this one suggested by
a student). 14) get a vigorous
bead massage this one from an in
structor!. (5 1 in some courses it is

inducing a dazed condition, after
which it you, are lucky you will
j.ass the final, and lastly, of course
(ll Sont "cram."
It may be that this is a contro
rtrsy which carlred .us far into
toe province of opinion, where
tie re Is no "true" solution. It
He-mi, uowever. ilsai a iittJa con
sideration succeeds In reducing the
field. Pome of these theories will
hardly do.
It is a known fact that although
alcoholic drinks may relax the
mind they also deaden the thlnk-
,lr,g faculties. A bead massage
would probably knock out what
little knowledge you had in your
head. And while it may be ad
vantageous for a student of Phi
Beta Kappa intellect to go to bed
early and sleep the sleep of a babe,
what of Mr. and Miss average stu
dent? As often as not they finish a
course Friday morning and then
have their final examination on a
Saturday afternoon. They "cram"
a lot of facts into their heads and
write their final in a dazed condi
tion. If they guess right they may
get a B, but if they don't it's just
too bad.
Therefore theory number (51 is
not as silly a it sounds on the sur
face. That It is an undesirable
method is obvious, but neverthe
less students, even tTie best of
them, are forced to sit up far into
the night trying to integrate the
great mass of material that has
been given to them during the
course of a semester.
The one and only pnnnible way
to reduce "cramming" for the av
erage student is by instituting a
constructive review period of say
a week or two before final exami
nations. By constructive we mean
a period before the end of the se
mester in which the instructor, in
stead of presenting mora material,
allotted his time to a summation
of the material be has offered in
the preceding 14 weeks.
In most courses given here the
Integration of material is the goal
rather than a knowledge of indi
vidual facts. This is especially
true in such courses ss sociology,
economics, history, political science
and philosophy.
If instructors find objection to
this plan on the basis that they
would not hsve time enough to
present all the material they would
like, it may be suggested that a
little careful pruning and attention
to time demands early in the se
mester would improve most cours
es. The Michigan Daily.
' Americanism Destroyer

William Randolph Hearst's hys

tions of the American people to a
fever pitch by building up a "red

obstacles in its path. If the gentle

the students of the country to bow

sition to him, such opposition of
course, being "disloyal and un-
Amcricnn." One might timidly ven
ture the remark that Mr. Hearst's
past record refutes any attempt to
set mm up as the paragon of all
the virtues of "Americanism," this
being his own conveniently-coined
word
So great has been Mr. Hearst's
love for this country, that in 1898
he hesitated not at all in plunging
the nation into a needless and un
provoked war with Spain, the only
reason oemg that he wanted to
raise the circulation of his newspa
pers. So devoted has he been to the
interests of the American neonle
that in 1932, at the height of our
economic depression, every Hearst
paper in the land shrieked "Buy
American and bring back prosper
ity," while they were all spending
$11,000,000 for news-print from
the Hearst mills which are located
in Canada. There we have exam
ples of the loyalty and love for the
country that abides in the Hearst
breast.
But intelligent Americans are
voicing their scorn of the tactics
employed by the spokesman of
Americanism" to increase the cir
culation of his yellow journals.
Fourteen college editors have
joined in a statement to the press
characterizing Hearst as "a men
ace to the academic freedom which
students and faculty have fought
many bitter battles to presei-ve."
University professors have already
petitioned a congressional commit
tee to investigate the "un-American
practices" of the publisher.
There will be more and louder pro
tests from the student and the man
in the street as soon as they realize
that the greatest menace to the
freedom of this nation today is not
communism or fascism, but the
self-appointed protector of "Amer
ican liberties" William Randolph

Underneath the stage a walk

are always numerous comical inci
dents which happen backstage

so strenuously in the darkness,
that it went off the track about a
foot. The tracks for these movable
stages were laid especially for this

Suggestions for a title for the mad

suggestions aren't at all bad;
they Include "Nut Bars," "Music

is the contribution of a Bostonian:
"Three Marx Murder in the Opera
House," while a native of San
Pedro, California offers the equally
perplexing "Sonata de Mlgnon."
But these have nothing on the
gentleman from El Monte who,
fairly beside himself with im
patience, submitted the wholly in
explicable "Uncle Frankie the
Ticket Seller;" or on a Mr. A. R.
Dorrch of Washington, D. C, for
that matter. Wrote Mr. Dorrch: "I
offer, "Come Holler Down my Rain

Mr. Dorrch is rather chock full of
surprises himself.

Discussion of the dramatic po
tentialities in a piece of string, is
seen by a publicist for "West Point
of the Air," In production at M. G.
M. Early sequences Of the story
show the flight of one of the first
Curtiss "pusher" type planes used
by the Army back in 1910. As an
indicator to show the pilot whether
or not he was "side-slipping," a
piece of string was fastened to a
strut beside him. When the string
flew out in the wind along with
the line of flight, all was well with
the old "pusher." If the string
fluttered sideways in the direction
of flight, the pilot knew he was in
a 'slip' and faced almost certain
death. Nothing like being fore
warned !

Capra represents the sublimation
