Letters
For Boxing.
A suggestion was made recently by a aowniown
sports columnist that boxing at the university
be made & regular varsity sport with minor letters
awarded for competition. This suggestion is noth
ing new. It has been made before by city fans,
city sports writers, certain university athletic heads,
the campus itself, and, most vociferously of all,
the athletes themselves.
There are many grounds upon which to base
the contention that letters should be awarded to
participants in the ring sport The bare fact that
it is a sport, and the only intercollegiate sport at
Nebraska for which no letter is awarded, provides
a good argument in itself.
The boxers put in as much time in prepara
tion for matches as do those who turn out for
football, basketball, track or any other form of
athletic endeavor. The training grind is just as
tough, if not tougher. A glance some afternoon
at the athletic cellar under the coliseum will fur
nish, adequate proof for the doubting Thomases.
The boxing squad, when it travels to other
schools, is just as truly a representative of the
Nebraska campus as is the tennis team or the
wrestling aggregation. And its powress. or lack
of it, reflects back on the campus just as much as
does the showing of the football squad.
It has been argued that most of the men on
the boxing team are members of a boxing class and
are receiving scholastic credit for their work, there
by eliminating the need for a letter reward. This,
however, is not fair, for it is safe to say that many
members of the other athletic squads are registered
for credit in their particular sport.
TIE greatest stumbling block in the way of let
ters for the boxers seems to be the tact that
it Is not a recoginzed Big Six sport. And without
that recognition it is said that Nebraska cannot
make boxing a regular varsity sport with the cus
tomary awards.
The same situation which applies to one school
in the Big Six, however, will apply to all, and it
is difficult to see why boxing long before now has
not taken its place along side wrestling, tennis, and
golf.
A look at the record of this year's squad shows
that something is needed to stir up a bit of interest.
Nebraska fighters have been consistently plastered
all over the place every time they step into a ring.
A letter or numeral award seems the logical method
of providing that spur.
War Wiped Out
At the
Dinner Table
by
John Chamberlain
Mr. Cbambcriin la the author of a dally column m
the New York Tlmei, and thla article a reprinted thru
the courtesy of that paper.
VTTTTH Hitler taking the bit between his teeth,
and with France, England and P.ussia all
hewing visible signs of perturbation (altho Ernst
Henri told them a year ago what was coming, and
other, including Gen. Tasker Bliss, uttered a pre
monitory ! told you so" the day after Versailles,
it may not be the precise moment to be flippant
about war and the rumors of war. Yet Sir Norman
AngeH's "Peace and the Plain Man" (Harper, $2.50)
Invite flippant treatment Phetorically speaking,
the book is positively brilliant
But, as I read, I was haunted continually by
Lawrence Dennis's epigram: "While the free trad
er were winning all the arguments, the protec
tionist were winning all the elections." Sir Nor
man wins all the argument, but his opponent aim
ply wont come around of evenings to the Oxford
TJnlon. Which leaves Sir Norman in the plaintive
position of one crying: "If only the world were in
telligent, it would listen to ma." Which 1 trua.
If you want to refute the militarist who sits
next to you at the dinner table. Sir Norman can
help you. With Sir Norman's aid, I can Imagine
a conversation running along in this fashion:
General Smlrkor.theface: "But my dear man,
war la Inevitable."
Caspar Milquetoast (brave with four cocktails
under his belt and an evening of Sir Norman behind
him): "Which war? Any war? Plainly, militarists
dont believe that all wars are inevitable, because
they urge more armament on the ground that that
will help to preserve peace."
General S.: "But human nature is essentially
quarrelsome."
Caspar: "That is why we must have a League
ot Nations or institutions of discipline. If human
nature were perfect regulatory institutions would
be unnecessary. If man were not a fighting animal,
there would be no need for courts, police and deca
logues. Just because man's a fighter, you don't
assault your neighbor when he dislikes you. Or,
if you do, the police stop you."
CHANGING HUMAN BEHAVIOR.
General S.: "But you can't change human na
ture." Caspar: "You don't have to. But you cer
tainly con change human behavior. Man was once
cannibalistic believed in human sacrifice to the
gods, upheld the Ordeal of Fire, sanctioned duel
ing." General S.: "But war is a spiritual cleanser.
Without it man would grow soft"
Caspar: "I thought you said in your last lecture
that we needed armaments to insure peace?"
General S.: "Well, I was only making a point
that those people at the community center would
understand. War will continue so long as man is
selfish."
Caspar: "But war demands of men the great
est possible unselfishness, the greatest sacrifice of
all, life. It destroys property, wealth and trade. If
men were intelligently selfish, war would not take
place."
General S.: "But what would you do if a brute
attacked your sister?"
Caspar (swallowing another drink): "I'd give him
a sock on the jaw. But if conditions were such that
women were habie to violence, I'd try to co-operate
in organizing a sj'stem of police, courts, and so on,
which is precisely what those who use your argu
ments as analogous to the restraint of violence in
the international field refuse to do internationally."
General S.: "But would you leave your house
unlocked ?"
Caspar: "No. But if I had merely to depend
on the strength of the lock, with no reliance on the
community, with its police and magistrature, my
house would be plundered anyway. Defense must
be collective and co-operative or fail. The League
U an effort at such collective defense made weak,
I admit because the householders fail to pay the
international tax (in trust) to support it"
General S.: "But capitalist nations must have
markets for the disposal of their surplus goods,"
Caspar: "Britain had victory in 1&IS over its
most powerful commercial rival. Are British cap
italists more able to dispose of their surplus than
they were before the war?"
MR. SMITH DECIDES.
General S.: "Some capitalists, however, may
benefit by war."
Caspar: "Some capitalists would benefit by a
new great fire of London; all Industries relating
to the building trades would boom. It does not make
arson a capitalist interest."
General S.: "Well, I'll leave it up to our host
Mr. John Smith, who as a plain man is interested
in the preservation of his hearth and home, to de
cide between us."
John Smith: "I'm afraid. General, that Caspar
ha it over you."
And, of course, Caspar has outgeneraled Gen
eral Smirkontheface. But this is only because those
who think that war is "inevitable" have failed to
provide Sir Norman with the real reason why na
tions blunder into war. No one wants war, as war,
save for a few pathological souls who are not nu
merous enough to count even in Germany. But
the elites in control of nations want certain thinga
They may want new market.
Here we come to the crux of the matter. We
have wars, not because of the things which Sir Nor
man talk about for some 300 pages, but because
the game of power is. like poker, not only a game
of indisputable cards, but also a game of bluff. And
any one who is willing to bluff must take the chance
that the bluff will be called. Wars result when
some one calls a bluff that is made by a man who
is too proud to back down, or who thinks the man
calling the bluff is himself bluffing.
WAR IS AN ACCIDENT.
In other words, war itself i never solely a
matter of policy, but an incidental accident incurred
in pursuing (other) policies. This being true, does
it matter much whether men bluff by the old di
plomacy or over the green baize tables of Geneva?
Of course, if we had a world with only one reign
ing elite, . . . But hush, hush, little man, you're
suggesting international socialism or one imperialist
victor, such as Rome of the Pax Romana. And how
are you going to get France and Russia, or Japan
and the United States, to agree on either of these?
P. S. If you know you're living in a munitions
factory, you will be careful how you throw matches
around.
CMANTTS
BY CHANCE,
TACTJLTY HAS VARIED
OPINION ON CHICAGO
UNIVERSITY PLAN
(Continued from Page L)
Teachers' college that such courses
must be integrated and give gen
eral appreciation rather than a
"hodge-pog" of unrelated fact a
would probably be the case unless
carefully planned.
Bengston Interviewed.
As described by Dr. Nels A.
Bcngtson, chairman of the depart
ment of geography, the introduc
tory courses must be fact and
reasoning combined to give the
sftudent wltat he termed "intellect
ual cariosity" and trie ability to
solve problems.
Dean J. E. LeRossignol stated it
was his belief that students of the
social sciences should be able to
take, is place of a laboratory sci
ence course, an introductory sci
ence course that gives the results
and general vonclusion of the sci
ence to the student instead of tak
tng the brpirmtng coutve which
prepares for the advanced courses
in the science as ia generally true
at the present time,
Za discussing examinations, it
was generally held that tha meth
od of measuring accomplishments
bv the addition of hours and cred
its to obtain a degree is outworn,
and that comprehensive examina
tions designed to measure the abil
ities of the student is a desired
pr.l. It was generally believed
IMU students wi'l actual study and
1 .m mere under such a system
than at present where studert
study just enough to pass the in
structor's examination, and at the
end of the course proceed to loee
all that has been gained from
the course. As was stated by Dean
LcRossignol, "Students will learn
more when they know they are to
be given a comprehensive exami
nation, and will prepare them
selves accordingly for it"
Dean C. H. Oldfather expressed
the opinion, however, that after a
few years it will be virtually lm
psosible to devise new examina
tions that are materially different
from thone given previously, and
students would soon practice on a
somewhat larger scale what they
now do in the classroom, of study
rr.r and dicestlnr previous "com-
! prehensive" examinations and aim
ing Tor such rather man ior uie
value of the courses themselves.
Testa Not Reliable.
W must move in the direc
tion of devolving comprehensive
test that mould determine ac
curately the abilities and achieve
ments of the student rather than
determining success by the num
ber of credit," commented Dean
HenzUk. -but at the present time
we do sot have test tha t are
wholly valid and reliable la this
respect" It i hi viewpoint that
in the future this win be a devel
opment Several professors of the uni
versity expressed the opinion that
the plan would entail too much
expense for Nebraska, pointing out
that CLicage is a privately en
dowed school.
While the general belief of fac
ulty members is that the opera
tion of the University of Chicago
plan calls for a higher type oc
student as Chicago has, as oppo
site to a state school that must
accept all students that apply, and
would thus not be practical here.
In contrast to this viewpoint is
the one held by Dean Henzlit that
the slow, average and above nor
mal student would all benefit
from such a plan of integrated
general courses lor the junior col
lege period and measurement of
progress by examination rather
than by credit.

"Germany despite all the mili

tillery. The navy is weak also;

There are no submarine With
her present equipment the German
amy would have great difficulty

especially their air force, is good.
Germany cant rely on being able
to fight on only one front Her
generals and their staffs know per
fectly well that J.ow or at any time

strategical suicide.
What of Russia Harry Carr
wrote a feature In the Los Angeles
Times, in December, in regard to
the futility of conquering China
that holds equally well for Russia.
The headline reads: "Conquering
China Like Beating a Featherbed."
In it he humorously avows; "No
body can do anything to China. It
is like beating a featherbed with a
club. There is no resistance but
no finality. It is like cutting water
with a sword: like fighting a cur
tain or a rag hanging on a clothes
line.
"The military problem of con
quering China is impossible be
cause this is no solar plexus no
nerve center. Japan took Man
churia in order to avoid the war
perils that threatened the life of
England during the World war.
This was the peril of being block
aded and starved.
"Manchuria forever removes this
peril. But in taking Manchuria,
Japan found herself between two
jaws Russia and China. Were she
to get into a foreign war, these
jaws would certainly close.
"Russia has no intention of
fighting Japan if she can help it
She is plavmg a waiting game
pushing stealthily down thru Mon
golia to establish contact with the
Chinese. She know that Japan
cant keep a great army in the
field indefinitely without going
broke.
"The same is true with China.
China retreats from any actual
conflict but compels Japan to keep
large and expensive armies in the
field. In the end, she knows that
Japan will crack up financially un
der the strain."
Again, Lord Strabolgi empha
sizes the fact that the soviet gov
ernment is in the throes of eco
nomic reconstruction, and war
would upset all their cherished
plans.

in the fact that the Japanese do
cot make good air fighters, and
they know it. Russia's air force on
the other hand, could probably hold
its own in personnel and equip
ment with any in the world. Ja
pan's navy is strong, but Russia
is not vulnerable to attacks from
the sea.
"Against whom then, would the
Japanese navy be directed? Some
suspect that Japan casts an envi

their colonies could be launched
only as an act of sheer aggression,
