Football
Broadcasts.
g EN ATE File 1, providing for radio broadcasting
of university football games, has finally come
out of committee and has been placed on general
file. Responsible for the bill is Senator Bullard of
McCook, who evidently believes that the taxpayers
are not getting a fair deal from the university be
cause broadcasts of home games are prohibited.
The Senator has some arguments to support his
stand. The out staters have been feeling a bit gyped
since the athletic department placed its ban on the
radio. They would rather hear the play by play
account than wait for the Sunday morning paper.
Senator Bullard further proposes to bring in some
money to the athletic department by sale of the
broadcasting rights.
The best arguments, however, seem to lie on
the side of the athletic department. The broadcasts
were discontinued three years ago because it was
felt by the athletic department that they were con
tributing causes to the steadily decreasing attend
ance at the home grid contests. The increase in at
tendance since the ban bears out their contention.
In 1931, gate receipts were $65,000; in 1932, $78,000;
and this last fall. $152,634.
JN answer to this will be put up the argument that
the increase in attendance has been brought about
by the better home schedule the Huskers have
played. It is admitted that the quality of teams
played has been increasingly better each year, but
it has been only by large guarantees that these
teams have been brought to Lincoln, and these large
guarantees have been made possible by, the ban.
Small gate receipts would mean that Nebraska
would have to drop its "big time" schedule.
In addition to paying its own way, Husker foot
ball is keeping up the payments on that vast athletic
plant, the Coliseum, and is providing for the large
intramural program which has been built up during
the past few years. A drop in gate receipts at the
grid contests would necessarily mean curtailment
of the "athletics for all" program, if not actually
falling behind In payments on the field house.
PROPONENTS of the bill will further argue that
since the people of the state are supporting the
university with their tax money, they should be en
titled to some measure of return. The athletic de
partment, however, pays its own way and Its financ
ing Is entirely separate from the rest of the univer
sity. Not one cent of tax money goes into the cof
fers of the athletic department. Hence, the tax
payers cannot rightfully feel they are being gyped.
It may seem a bit mercenary, but as long as
football Is paying the way for the greater share of
the athletic program at Nebraska; and as long as
broadcasting cuts down thet Income from the grid
games, It seems best not to tamper with the set up.
Let There
Be Peace.
ENGLAND Is planning to add eleven new air
squadrons to its home defense forces; Italy is
engaged in slapping down the Ethopians; all of Eu
rope is sitting on the hot seat; the United States'
appropriations for the army, navy, and air forces
are boosted; everything points to the fact that the
nations see another world conflagration in the not
too distant future.
Why, in the face of all the horrors of the last
war, does this trend continue ? Surely the rank and
file of all these nations have no inclination to shoul
der a rifle and engage in a program of destruction.
What, then, are the agitating factors that are stir
ring up the muddy waters of international rela
tions? That is the problem which people of today,
young people, especially, must solve before it is too
late.
Today the campus will have the opportunity of
listening to one of the leading anti-war crusaders in
the nation. That man is Frederick J. Libby, head
of the National Council for the Prevention of War,
who will appear before a World Forum audience.
The Des Moines Tribune has to say of Mr. Lib
by, "Among the anti-war crusaders none is sharper
of mind, more charming of manner and more tol
erant yet effective in presentation than Frederick
J. Libby . . . Idiotic attempts to plaster him with a
'radical' label and to attack his cause by attacking
his patriotism, impress this paper to the rero de
gree . . . The cause he fights for is everybody's
cause, particularly every young person's cause."
Here Is ,the campus' chance to put Its shoulder
behind the peace movement. Not only will Mr.
Libby appeal to those already definitely aligned
against militaristic activities, but those whose
minds are still open will also find his message
worthwhile.
In Honor of
Oliver Wendell Holmes.
GREAT American figure finished his earthly
career Wednesday morning. Along with the
rest of the nation, Nebraska is mourning the passing
of Oliver Wendell Holmes, known as the "great dis
senter." Thus ended a brilliant record of public service
which led from the army during the Civil war up to
one of the highest judicial positions In the United
States, associate justice of the Supreme Court.
Also known as the "great liberal," he should
be set up by youth as a beacon light. From the
time that he was alone in his judicial opinions
among members of the Court, until he found him
self among the majority, he was always liberal
and forward looking. Recognizing the Inevitable
changes brought by time and circumstance, he de
livered his opinions accordingly. He saw clearly the
human element and was always sympathetic and
understanding.
Although he would have been 94 Friday, Mr.
Holmes seemed, not as one of our elders, but as one
of the great army of youth.
Cowpuncher, Stagehand, and
Husker Undergraduate Part
of Playwright Fred Ballard's
Successful Career
(Continued from Page 1.)
and Tendencies of American
Drama." With attention focused
on the profession of the play
wright and acting on the advice of
Charles Klein, he decided to begin
in the theater at the bottom. He
went on the stage as a property
man working in an Illinois theater.
After a year to Chicago, he
truck out for the open country,
to a homestead in southwestern
Colorado. There he stretched nil
versatility by ranching, cow punch
ing, sheep herding, wood sawing
nd hack driving:. Out of all this
experience and more he drew the
stuff for his first dramatic hit
"Believe Me, Xantippe" which
captured Eoston and held Broad
way for fifteen weeks.
Ballard, while still In Harvard,
seems to have made a decidedly
favorable impression. "His work
ts distinctly promising and I have
decided hopes for him," Prof.
Baker wrote In November. With
in two weeks of the date for suo
mitting work In competition for
the $500 Craig prize for dramatic
composition. Ballard learned that
only plays written at Harvard
would be considered. Ko, shelving
the work he had intended to sui
rolt, he "pegjred awav sixteen
hours per day" as he put It. Under
this handicap, he was awarded sec
ond honors for the play, "The
Eagle's Nest."
"Ladles of the Jury," after a
long and successful run with Min
nie Maddern Fiske, was made Into
a moving picture In which Edna
Ms Oliver starred. "The Sandy
Hooker," which was written by
Ballard in cooperation with Charles
tick ford, a motion picture sctor.
Is another of his plays. "The Cy
clone Lover" and "Buck Home
and How!" are the titles of others
of his p'ays.
Ray Kamsay will play the lead
ing character part in Ballard's
latest play which will appear here,
according; to the cast released
from the Players' office Monday.
Art Eailev, Armand Humr and
Melvin Fielder will fill the other
Important roles.

"It ouffht to srlve our colleges and
universities a more realistic con
ception of the r-uif-nitude of our
problem of education," be stated,
"and it ought to inspire all voters
and near-voters in every commu
nity to get together in peace action
committees and organize for the
lection of November 193. It
ought to lead to a far more gen
erous support of the unofficial or
ganizations upon whose shoulders
rests tba responsibility of organis
ing and educating thi great na
tion for peace."
Defeat Bs!fiig Vletary.
The defeat will be Uu beginning
of an ultimate victory If the pub
lic profits by its lessons, according
to Mr. Libby, who believes that
one of the slogans henceforth
should be, "Remember the World
Court!"
"The court was defeated by the
combined votes of 'irreconcllables'
like Hiram Johnson, a few repub
licans who wanted to embarrass
the president and the progressive
bloc," the NCPW secretary asserts.
"The vote was 52 to 36, or, with
the pairs, 56 to 38."
"Turning from the votes to the
men who defeated us, the list is a
short one," according to Mr. Libby.
"Senator Johnson, Father Cough
lin, Mr. Hearst, former Senator
Moses, and Senator Norris. Sen
ator Johnson organized and led
the fight in the senate. Father
Coughlin attacked the court in two
successive Sunday radio addresses,
appealing with great effect for
telegrams against us. Mr. Hearst
fought thru the news columns,
editorials and cartoon, and thru
the political machines that he di
rects In many states."
Invits Public to Attend.
"Senator Norris, in his final
speech, prevented the progressives
from accepting the reservation
which had won his vote for the
court in 1926 but which he now
felt was Inadequate. Former Sen
ator Moses came to Washington
and labored on the floor of the
senate with his former republican
colleagues."
Tbe public is Invited to attend
the noon luncheon at which Mr.
Libby will speak. Tickets may be
purchased from members of the
International Relations staff of tbe
V. W. C. A. or Y. M C. A. Libby
will also speak at 2:30 and 7:30
at First Presbyterian church.

they turned out and the "Esquire"
business manager asked for the

George Dewey Washington,
noted colored singer, has been an
nounced for a personal appearance
in Lincoln at the Orpheum theater
Friday of this week. This will be
bis first appearance In this city but j
he does not come here unknown. I
George Dewey Washington ranks j
with Paul KoDeson as one or ine
most noted colored vocalists of all
time. Washington's work, how
ever, borders more on the popular
style of dramatic interpretation
than the operatic. His current bill
ing of "OI' Man River" is indica
tive of the character of his singing.
Several seasons ago when Paul
Ash was the toast of Chicago,
George Dewey Washington made
bis first big stage hIL Successful
dates followed at the Chicago the
ater, the Paramount theater in
New Yoik City and other large
theaters throughout the country.
His uniqu and entertaining style
has kept him a vaudeville head
liner not only In this country but
In England and Europe as well.
His engagement In Lincoln will
be as headline attraction with a
five act stage show and screen
program at the Orpheum theater
this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
