Society Editor BUSINESS STAFF Richard Schmidt Buemees Manager ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGERS Truman Oberndorff Bob SheHenberg Robert Funk A More Practical Peace Plan. PIE greatest danger of war today lies in the Pacific ocean where United States and Japan are likely to clash, according to Frederick J. Llbby, speaker at the World Forum luncheon Thursday. While all of Europe Is restless and uneasy, there does not seem to be much Immediate danger of a conflagration there, due to financial difficulties, he said. The United State, in its plans tor extensive naval maneuvers In the Pacific waters, is thumb ing its nose at Japan. Should the United States get a bit too offensive the match will be touched and war will flare up. Then, according to Llbby. if the United States conquers Japan, the way will be left open for a clean sweep of Asia by Russia. And when Russia, always ambitious, has accom plished this, there will be precipitated a terrible war between the vast communistic empire and the rest of the world. The removal of any chance of war between the United States and Japan, plus the eventual entry of this country into the League of Nations and the World Court was seen as a practical way to long coveted peace. Five points were outlined in the removal cf any possibility of war with Japan: 1. Protest against the proposed naval ma neuvers. 2. Reduction of the proposed appropriation for army and navy. 3. Education of the people. 4. Repeal of the exclusion act. 5. Devotion of the world good will day. May 18, to the plan of peace in the Pacific. HERE, then, is a plan that should be workable. Too many of the ideas for peace have been in the past along the lines of "peat? at any cost." On the other hand, many of the programs have been too idealistic to be practical. But if what Mr. Llbby says of the oriental situation is true, and his facts and arguments seem to bear out bis statements, the plan presented Thursday is neither too radical nor too idealistic With the proper co-operation and much labor It can be worked out Attainment of the third objective, enlighten ment of public opinion, will bring about the rest of the program. The fact that the United State is assembling its great armada so close to the Japa nese waters seems to indicate that it is deliberately flirting with danger. Following along the same lines, the huge pro posed appropriation for the army and navy looks like someone is beginning to get a bit aggressive, despite all arowals to the contrary. A reduction of the appropriation below the amount absolutely necessary for national defense Is not asked, but a large enough reduction to keep the United States out of a competitive armament race- An aroused public opinion against these trends, communicated to Washington, via Father Coughlin methods, can do much to avcit immediate danger of war with Japan. By the same method a repeal of the exclusion act, cause of much of the friction between the two nnt)nnj can be brought about eventually. To do this, facts must be learned and prejudices over come. And to overcoming these prejudices world good will day can be devoted. Once this Immediate dsngcr is averted, more time and effort can be devoted to getting this coun try into the World Court More time can be de roted to shut off the senseless yawpings of men like Huey Long, Father Coughlin, Senator Borah, and W1U Rogers, who were largely Instrumental' recently in defeating the entrance of the United States Into the court. In this, as in every other worthwhile move ment, young people must take the reins. It is they who will have to suffer the horrors of another war; who will have to dig from under when the war is ended. It U they who are slowly assuming powar in this country. Are they going to sit Idly by and let that power go to waste, or are they going to do something about it? ' The Wolveg ire Loose in Oklahoma. THE wolves are loose in Oklahoma and trying to chew up everything in sight. The Big Six has had plenty of experience with alumni and "sup porters" who are always dissatisfied with this cr that coach, but never has it witnessed such radical action as that being taken by a group of Oklahoma U. alumni. Dlsgrunted with the work of Lewis Hardage and John Rowland, football coaches, evidently be cause the Sooners didn't win enough games, the alumni has gone to work and taken their case to the state legislature. There they are supporting a bill which provides for a new athletic council composed of alumni. This would mean that the present board, with faculty representation would go out on its ear, resulting in the dropping of Okla homa from the Big Six since conference rules re quire faculty representation on the school's ath letic board. According to he sports editor of the Daily Oklahoman, stu .ewspaper, the measure is purely a weapon v "e Hardage and Rowland out. He states that importers of the measure have offered to make a trade and hold up the bill If university authorities get rid of the two coaches. THE wolves have always been allowed to have a little bit of fun at the expense of a coach who has one or two off years, but it seems that they are carrying their game too far when they begin to meddle directly In university affairs. Oklahoma officials expressed their confidence in Hardage and Rowland when they declared sev eral months age that the two in question would stay on the coaching staff. And there the mat ter should have ended. Instead the alumni have decided that the officials don't know what they are about, and are trying to ram something down their throats. Even if Rowland and Hardage do deserve the gate, it doesn't seem to be the alumni's place to step in and take charge of the matter. The trouble is, however, that Oklahoma is not the only school that is bothered by over-enthusiastic "supporters." Maybe someone should organize an old-fashioned wolf hunt- Senior Organization And Other Things. F)LANS for organization of the senior class took another step forward Thursday night as the re cently appointed committee started functioning. A plea for support in their activities is to be made to all organized houses, Greek and unaffiliated alike, by the group. And it will be necessary to have that support, for eight people cannot do everything for a class of over 500. Nebraska will play the dog the week of March 18 when Fred Ballard, Nebraska born playwright, brings his newest contribution to the dramatics field to the Temple theater for its permiere. If, however, his new production "My Lucky Star" is as good as his other plays. Nebraska should feel honored in playing that role. Tonight the university will crown its last queen for the year or is there another girl to be honored yet this spring? Somebody should think up some new diversion for the campus to take the place of electing so many queens each year. Why not a nice exciting game or tiddly-winks or a potato race at intermission instead of watching the prom girl or honorary colonel or farmer's formal queen strut their stuff? Three Husker squads mill be doing their darnd est this week end to recover a little of the prestige Nebraska has lost this year in Big Six competition. Rudely shaken out of its almost traditional place as football champion. Nebraska went into the cage season to end up one notch above the cellar. It is probably better for all concerned, how ever, that the Huskers were shoved out of the spot light for the year. The "rah-rah" college boy Is definitely out of the picture, say college editors and others, who might be better judge of the situation than the editors. Due to the necessity of working his way thru school, however, the new college man 1 cot getting a better scholastic average than his older brother, according to Dean Harper of the univer sity. Grades or no grades it U encoursging to t-e that the "rah rah" lad has been given the final boot. OFFICIAL BULLETIN Corn Cobs.

Ag Column BY TED PRESCOTT. Contemporary Comment 'An Example Of Americanism. Significant is the report that comes from Oglethorpe university. Recently a professor, tinged with red, of a rival institution, was in vited to speak to the International Relations Club. When he arrived, he was met by the spring football squad and firmly convinced that his presence was undesirable. "A most refreshing exhibition of good, old fashioned Americanism." com mented Oglethorpe's president, ThornweH Jacobs. President Jacobs' commeht is a refreshing example of something else. When more private univer sity beads have the courage to dis play by their attitude their opin ion of those liberal zealots who in sisted on ieu ii.DMiiiiiaii.li to the constitution, education will no doubt touch a new high peak. How the bones of Thomas Jefferson woud rattle If they anew how as siduously this educator applies himself to "old fashioned Ameri canism!" How William Randolph Hearst and Father Coughlin would gurgle with complacent satisfac tion were there more universities with Oglethorpe's liberal attitude! The student body. too. is to be congratulated. A student body which is so firmly convinced of its collective stand on any question, that it will forego the privilege of heckling an opposition speaker with embarrassing questions is definitely approaching the prob lems of life with an admirably open, collective mind. A refreshing dis play if old fashioned Americanism indeed! The Msrvard Crimson. Instrumental Selections Are Included on Thursday Program. A variety of vocal and instru mental selections were presented at the weekly student recital held Thursday afternoon, March 7, at 4 o'clock in the Temple theater. Ruth Jennings played Baca's "French Suite, B Minor" with "Al lemande" and Gigue" movement. She is a student with Herbert Schmidt. Inez Haney. student with William G.

"Ich soh den Walt sich farben." by Pressel. was presented by Wil liam Miller, who also studies with Mr. Temple. Peggy Heald, student with Mr. Schmidt, was next on the program, play'ng Bach's 'Toccata, G Minor." Mendelssohn's "Concer to. E Minor" with "Allegro molto" and "appassionata" movements wss presented by Jsne Welch, who studies with Emanuel Wishnow. Rose Steinberg and Robert Schmidt, both of whom study with Mr. Schmidt, played "Sonata. A Major. l&.t movement" by Schu bert and "Rhapsody, No. 1155 by Listz. respectively. Alfred Kelder sane "It Is Enough." from "Elijah' by Men delssohn as the concluding num ber. He studies with Mr. Temple.

Mr. Marion Cushing, floor lead er of the republican party In the house of representatives addressed the ag students at a convocation in Agricultural hall Thursday after noon. His subject was "Legislative Problems of 1935." Mr. Cushing, who had served in thelegislature for the last four sessions, gave his audience some vitally interesting sidelights on what is going on down at the state house. Not the slightest problem facing the legislators is that of sorting out of the great number of "fool" bills which are cluttering up the slate at the present time, the im portant ones which must be passed upon this session. Among these more Important bills before them now is that of the Unicameral Legislature. , The biggest problems here, Cushing said, will be the re districting of the state so that there will be but one district for each of the fifty members of the new government. Other outstanding bills before the law makers at the present time are concerned with the collecting of back taxes, the advisability of a sales tax, a net income tax (which happens to be Mr. Cush ing's pet hobby , liquor sale, nad the federal relief bill, which comes up this morning, and 'which Mr. Cushing predicts will go down in defeat. Alpha Zeta, men s honorary ag ricultural fraternity, sponsored the convocation. BOOTH DECLARES RECOVERY PLANS 'OLD FASHIONED' (Continued from Page l.i past will no longer be a hope of the American people," Booth stated. Taxpayers Wary. Illusions of great material wealth are rapidly fading and people are sensibly trying to orient them selves according to their means. At the same time the taxpayer is be coming more and more sensitive about the value of his currency and he wants the full value for his dol lar. Another European phenomenon In Its infancy in this country is the young man's attitude regarding a career in governmental service. Collapse of state rights and inter vention of the federal government has been a most surprising devel opment to the Englishman, partic ularly since apparently no objec tion has as yet voiced Itself. American Idolization of the Brit ish and the belief that they have found the road to recovery by old orthodox methods is a most naive attitude to take. Booth maintained In the first place. Booth declared. England is not out of the depths and the present "puff Is only a short period of stimulation. In the way of experimentation Fnland has done lust as much If not more, be maintained. Switzerland has voted to length en the period of compulsory mili tary service. GASOLINE U. S. Motors Regular 12" IS-9 HOLM'S "th w Ohio State cwlu were recently taught bow to use chopsticks.

In less than a week the univer sity Is bringing to the campus the greatest musical attraction on tour, the Chicago Grand Opera company. The cast of artists Is the greatest ever presented on tour In a single performance. Among the' famous stars of the operatic stage who will sing lead ing roles are Maria Jeritza, Edith Mason, Coe Glade, Guiseppe Ben tonelll, Myron Duncan and Carlo Morelll. Local audiences will see the same costumes, scenery and stage effects In addition to a large orchestra, as is used in the per formances at the famous Civic Opera House in Chicago. Special general admission seats of one dol lar are being offered to students and faculty members. Other re served seats are selling for two and three dollars. The seats on the main floor will be elevated for this event. Excerpts from three operas, "Tannhauser," "Faust" and "La Tosca" will be sung, besides the ballet, "Gold Standard." danced by Ruth Page and the Chicago r.nnH nnxra romnpnv ballet corps. Remember the opera, March 12. Hazel Gertrude Kinscella, pro fessor of piano at the Conserva tory, has been invited to member ship on the National Music Edu cators' association which has for its work tns coordination and In tegration of music in school cur rlculums. Charlotte Kiesselbach, a student with Alma Wagner, sang for the commencement exercises at the Lincoln Busienss college Thurs day morning. Laura Kimball, also a student with Miss Wagner, sang for the Sigma Alpha Iota tea re cently at Ellen Smith hall. The New York scene during the past few weeks has brought sev eral of the better known actors of England and this country back to Broadway. The trek has been from New York to Hollywood, during the past, and lately several of the well known screen celebrities have left the celluloid and are enjoying the thrill of a personal appear ance. Roland Young, whose work in "David Copperfield," seen here recently, was a complete surprise to those of his audience who are used to seeing him in nothing but the lightest of comedy roles, has returned in the role of a criminal doctor in "The Distant Shore." The play is based on the Crippen Murder Case of some few years ago. Walter Connelly, one of the abler character actors of our stage, has returned to play the title role of "The Bishop Misbehaves." Press notices were wildly enthusiastic about his work, but not about the play. With him Is playing Jane Wyatt, whose work as the in genue in "Great Expectations," re cently seen at one of the local theaters, marked her as one of the better of the younger actors. Leslie Howard is having a suc cessful run in Robert Sherwood's new play, "The Petrified Forest," which, by the way, is in book shape at some of the local stores and worth while reading. Playing with him is Peggy Conklin, also seen here in "The Pursuit of Hap piness." The play has been put on the "must" list by many critics. This Is the first Broadway play Howard has been seen in for some time, as his time is usually di vided between England and Hollywood. HALDERSON L EXHI BITOII 0 MACHINE F RIDAY Assistant to Demonstrate Electron Apparatus to Physics Club. M. H. Halderson. physics major ,nH QBsistant in that department. will demonstrate Mlllikan's oil drop apparatus for determining me electrical charge of the electron at the physics club program to be presented in Brace laboratory Fri day evening, March 8. Outlining the development that led to the electron theory of matter, Mr. Hal derson will also discuss the scien tific dispute on the existence of this smallest division of matter. Halderson stated that the meas uring setup of Millikan. who is one of the authorities on the subject, is iratpri arrangement. It contains two charged copper plates which have a pin hole In their cen ter. Oil Is sprayed between the plates and a small particle settles into the holes where Its fall is ob served thru a microscope. The oil globule is alternately raised and lowered by charging and discharg ing the plates. The smallest degree of rise caused by the constant cur rent is due to the addition or sub traction to the total of one elec tron. The charge of the electron is thus determined. The apparatus also includes a chronograph for timing the move ments of the oil particles. This timing device, which is operated by electricity, keeps a constant graph by the use of two pens. Heater, club president, stated that any stu dents or members of the faculty who are interested either in this department or" in the address and discussion of the electron are in vited to this program. It is sched uled at 7 p. m. For the second time in two years. Nebraska, usually among the under-dogs in the Big Six basketball campaigns, has regis tered earlv season victories over the team that later won the title. In 1934. the Kansas U. quint dropped a close decision in Huskerland. This -year, Iowa State lost to the Scarlet cagesters 'n the conference opener. Perhaps If Kansas had been willing to play the Huskers early in the season and had loafed thru to a loss, they would be sitting on top of the pile in place of Iowa State.

Evidently the track dopesters don't have a high regard for Henry F. Schulte's cindermen. They've relegated a fourth to Ne braska, with luck a possible third, in the Big Six indoor meet at Co lumbia this week-end. But that doesn't discourage the old "Indian" and bis pupils. Not in the least! Pa Schulte is, on the whole, feel ing optimistic about his chances of leading the first Big Six title of the vear to Nebraska on the end of a Scarlet colored leash. WW nurcr tun V.
