More Records
Women's Organizations.
The time has come to talk, not of ships and
sails and scaling wax, but of those great women's
activities, Associated Women Students, Young
Women's Christian Association, Women's Ath
letic Association, and the Big Sisters.
And as their records are run off, the campus turns
its ears from the raucous sounds issuing from the
loud speaker.
Parading under the guise of a self governing
group for women, A. W. S. reprimands and punishes
coeds who overstep the bounds prescribed by univer
sity regulations; and more important, at least to
members of the Board, annually sends its delega
tion Into Mortar Boards. Otherwise the group can
not boast of much.
As the name and constitution indicate, the or
ganization is supposed to be a machine whereby
each woman on the campus may have a voice in the
administration of rules pertaining to her social and
other extra-curricmular activities. With that sort of
a proposition there can be no quarrel, for that is as
it should be. But the silence of the great bulk of
women students on one hand, and the shouting of a
politically favored few who receive the offices on
the other is overwhelming.
Despite the traditional cry that women's elec
tions are comparatively free from politics, and de
spite the stand taken by Mortar Board this year, it
is well known that certain women are groomed for
the executive positions from the time they sign their
freshman registration cards. Mass meetings are
held at which nominations for the various positions
are made from the floor, but the proceedings are
carefully watched to see that no outsider throws a
wrench into the works.
Thus women students are confronted with a
situation whereby they are governed by a group of
little tin goddesses placed into office by a small
group of political operators. As a governing group
representative of the female portion of the student
body, A. W. S. would make a good dictatorship.
Y. W. C. A. has not much either of which it can
boast when the final day of reckoning arrives. It,
of course sponsors a service program, which in itself
is worth while. The worthiness of the program,
however, is more than offset by the purpose for
which the organization is in many cases use politi
cal advancement.
There are certainly girls active in the Y. W.
who sincerely work under the principles for which
the organization was originally established, but they
are balanced by those who see in a Y. W. cabinet
position a royal road to the senior honorary.
It is around that point that the criticism of the
organization resolves. The Y. W. C. A. and Y. M.
C A. were formed for the purpose of arousing inter
est in religious affairs and for the development of
Christian leadership among young people. As such
the foremost interest of Y. W. leaders should be in
the true work of their organization. Honor and
fame should be only incidental to the service.
Here again, however, it has become a case of
the tail wagging the dog. For many of the women
engaged in Y. W. work, political advancement is
their only goal. This deplorable situation has
reached a point that the Y. W. C. A. itself can safe
ly be accused of being a political organization. Most
of its leaders receive the positions in the under
ground cellars of campus activities.
f70 MEN'S Athletic Association, as circumstances
nnn stand, comes the nearest to justifying: its ex
istence. It sponsors an extensive program of in
tramural sports. Most of its leaders are phys ed
majors and are actively interested in their project
The joker Is that politics can be played in the Ar
mory just as much as they can be played in Ellen
Smith Hall.
Big Sisters, on the other hand, is another fine
vehicle on which to ride over part of the road to tho
honorary goal. Formed to aid freshmen women in
orienting themselves to the campus, there exists a
serious doubt as to the effectiveness of the group.
Results of a survey as to how many women have
been actually helped by their Big Sisters would be
interesting. It would also be interesting to ascer
tain how many of the women who actually and sin-
w
cerely perform their avowed functions receive posts
on the Big Sister Board. Again politics enter the
door.
4 S has been stated before, there can be no quarrel
with the original purposes of these organiza
tions, unless one would except the Big Sisters. The
latter group seems somewhat absurd and useless.
The alms of the others are worthy.
It is to their present state that objection Is
raised. High alms have been submerged by desire
for personal gain. Not to the swift or to the hard
working plodders go the laurels, but to the politi
cally secure. So be it, but why T
Politics, Parties

Editor's Note. This Is the conclusion of the
article on the program of the Republican party
and its relation to college youth written by the
Hon. Henry P. Fletcher, Republican National
chairman. Next week the Daily Nebraskan and
the Associated Collegiate Press will present the
fourth article of this series written by Norman
Thomas, 1932 presidential nominee of the Socialist
party.
rrH E Republican party believes before there can be
any genuine recovery of lasting character, or
any assurance of security in the future, certain
definite changes in public policies must be made.
1 We must return to a stable currency.
Without that there can be no security for any
kind of investments.
2 We must bring our federal expenditures
down to within a reasonable distance of our fed
eral income and the people, through their legisla
tive bodies, must keep control of the public purse
strings. The billions of public debt and the In
terest charges thereon, now being piled up to pay
for the socialistic experiments of the "New Deal,"
will have to be paid by the rising generation, out
of the wages and incomes of tomorrow. The only
alternative to this prospect is an orgy of inflation,
which would wipe out the savings of every Indi
vidual in this country.
3We must stop using federal funds to set
the government up In business in competition with
private enterprise.
4 We must stop the definite movement
toward State Socialism which has for its purpose,
if not the ownership, at least the rigid governmen
tal control and operation of agriculture, finance,
business and industry.
It cannot be denied the "New Deal" has sown
the wind of Socialism. They are now reaping the
whirlwind. Their followers are getting out of hand.
Their specious promises have encouraged the lunatic
fringe and the demagogue. All the zig-zagging to
the "right" or to the "left" which this administra
tion may try cannot relieve it of the responsibility
for the influences and groups now busily engaged in
promoting their schemes some grotesque, some
malign.
You may smile a:, this as an exaggerated pic
ture. I hope that it is. But to the young men and
women who are not carried away by phrases and
phrase makers and are now assuming the status cf
citizenship. American life today offers a greater re
sponsibility and a greater opportunity than has been
offered to any other generation, excepting only
those of 1776 and of 1861. The country is In danger,
more danger than it ever has been from a foreign
war.
JUST a word to the young women of today, in the
Wnrlri Wat anrl In nrpcedine- wars the women Of
the country did their bit behind the lines. In this
great political and economic struggle which is to de
cide the destinies of this nation and the future of
our citizens, the women can be and should be on the
front lines, as leaders. There is every reason why
the young men and women of today should align
themselves with the Republican party. The chal
lenge t j the rising generation is not only what
things of the past are going to be kept, but also
what security for the future is going to be guaran
teed and safeguarded.
The door of opportunity to the individual Is go
ing either to remain open or to swing shut, by rea
son of governmental policies which will be formu
lated and fixed within the next decade. The Re
publican party offers to hold open the door of op
portunity. The "New Deal" is basically, as it is now
practised the glorification of the unfit at the ex
pense, and to the injury, of the fit. Under its phil
osophy the provident will have to look after the
improvident, the shiftlefis and the lazy, until all are
reduced to the lowest common Marxian denominator.
The Republican party is now, as always, the
party of the great middle classes of people. It
stands, without apology or excuse, for those princi
ples under which this nation has guaranteed a
greater liberty to everyone; under which our coun
try has been developed materially, all forms of legi
timate private enterprise progressed and prospered,
and our people have attained and maintained a
higher standard of living and culture than any other
peoples in the world.

8Y CHANCE.
It was gratifying to see during
the tryouts so many people with
talent. That speaks well of the
dramatics department and for the
instructors," said Hart Jenka,
Shakespearian actor who will star
in the production of "Julius
Caesar." soon to be given here by
the University Players. "There is
enough material here for a first
class presentation," the former
University Player continued. "With
such experienced and able people
in the play, the Players" produc
tion should show itself commend
able. "It is always a pleasure to re
turn to my first love, the Univer
sity Players," said the former Ne
braskan, "Don Frledly is planning
the scenes effectively and the
scene-changes rapidly. Thomas Lie
bn and Son, eostumers of Omaha,
are making a special effort to cos
turns th play beautifully. All in
all I exrect that "Julius Caesar"

and firmly believe that this pro
euction of "Julius Caesar," con
taining at it does exceptional abil

the high point of the Shake
tpearian plays that have been my
good fortune to take part in."
Aitho the cast of "Julius Caesar"

paper office," he laughed, "my
father being a country newspaper
publisher in Oklahoma. I learned
my alphabet from the type cases."
He musingly recalled the memory
of piling two or three old type cat
alogues on top of a tall stool so
that he could barely reach the
lower tier of the cap cases. Dur
ing his life at home, he worked on
practically every phase of the
paper from the mecnanicai issks
to the front office news writing
work.
When asked about his various
occupations previous to his present
position, he mentioned among
others: Chopping and picking cot

merchant seaman for two weeks;
barnstorming tours of newspaper
offices thruout the country typo
graphical work if no opening in the
front office; deck hand on a Mis
sissippi river boat for one summer;
in charge of the news and feature
service on the campus for six or
seven years.
He worked first as undergrad
uate, and then as graduate assist
ant to Professor Fogg, director of
the school of journalism, following
his work with the feature service,
and was made acting director upon
the death of the latter In 1926, be
ing confirmed as the director m
1930.
"Am I an author?" He has writ
ten no books but has contributed
technical articles for such mag

Professor Walker had charge of
the press exhibit at the last state
fair in Lincoln, consisting of a
large chart containing practically
all of the nam plates of Nebraska
publications, and copies of the first
papers published in Nebraska ter
ritory loaned from the state his
torical society.
Director Walker aspires to make
the school of journalism of more
direct value to the presa of the
state. He mentions the fact, how
ever, that altho the enrollment has
Increased from ninety-three the
first year, to more than 200 in the

Professors Conduct Party
Thru State Farm Lands
During Vacation.
rpan Oeorc-e E. Condra. of the
Conservation and Survey Division,
and Prof. A. C. Russel of the
Agronomy department conducted
a party of eleven persons through
the southern and western parts of
the state during serine vacation.
The purpose of the trip was not
only for the students to gain ursi.
hand knowledge of soil conditions
but also to note the relative ori
gins of the different soils found
there.
Throughout the triD snecial at
tention was given to soil moisture
and to the prospects or crop pro
duction this year. Several localities
were found where, due to the lack
of soil cover and to dryness, the
winds were doing consiaeraoie
damage: As a rule, however, ero
sion by wind was found to be less
than expected. Crops, especially
wheat, were about as promising as
usual for this time 01 me year.
Th western sand-hills, though
over grazed last year, were found
good condition, on me omer
hand some sections in the table
land district are so dry that not
only is the wheat destroyea dui
also there can be no hope for corn.
The recent rains, however, will do
much to improve conditions, Con

Coeds Keep That Figure Trim
By Signing Up for Girls' Gym
That modern girls have token the place of "fainting mnitl
rns" of the DO's on university campuses can be pretty well
proved at the department of physical education for women at
the university. Keeping in trim, the girls are content to let tha
men play ping pong, while they enter such active recreation as
tennis, golf, swimming, voueyo-
ball, soccer, or archery yes, and
kittcnball.
No longer are physical education
classes shied away from as re
quirements, but are desired for the
sake of health. Correct posture,
body balance, and poise are things
which all the girls wish. They see
In simple exercises the chance to
help themselves physically, and
perhaps go into more active
sports.
So interested are modern women
In such exercise, the university
girls are choosing their kinds of
recreation as they choose their vo
cation or studies. There are 296
of them registered for individual
work in the physical education de
partment. And it really is work.
These girls register for any num
ber of reasons and set about, un
der the Instruction of Miss Clara
I. Rausch, director of the individ
ual department, to eliminate those
reasons.
Individual Instruction.
Whether a girl will take indi
vidual work or not depends pri
marily upon the judgement of Dr.
Inez Philbrick, student health ex
aminer. Each new entrant to the
university is given a medical ex
amination which is recorded for
reference during the time the stu
dent is enrolled. If an entrant
shows signs of physical weakness
or physical handicaps which might
prevent her from engaging In the
more strenuous activities of the
physical education department, she
is referred to the individual super
visor. '
Some of the girls take this type
of work to gain strength before
and after a major operation.
Others elect to take special exer
cises for the feet, and still others
to attain correct posture.
The type of exercise each girl
takes depends upon her physical
strength and capacity. In private
consultation with the director, and
in class discussion, the girls are
advised what program of exercise
to follow. Most of them take ex
ercises from a supine position, be
cause they involve less muscle
strain.
Use Shadowgraphs.
"We show the girls their own
shadowgraphs," Miss Rausch says,
"and they prove more of an in
centive to good development."
These shadowgraphs are camera
Impressions which reveal things
like stooping shoulders and badly
poised heads. If heads are bent
from studies and meals, the shad
owgraph will show It.
Individual classes meet for a
forty minute session three times a
week. The girls follow out their
own programs of exercise and dis
cuss intermittently special health
projects that are of interest to
them. Each girl learns what her
own physical handicap may be,
accepts it for a reality, and sets
about making the most of it she
can.
"A doctor gives a person medi
cine so that he or she may as soon
as possible go about working as
before," Miss Rausch says. "This
is the principle of individual work.
Some girls take mild exercise here
for a time, and are then so im
proved that they are a'-''e to enter
into the sports' they lL.j without
bad effects. Others learn what
sports, if any, they will be able
to take up during their lives."
Advice in food balance is given
by Dr. Rebekah M. Gibbons of the
home economics department.
Should Start Young.
"Corrective work should not.
start in the university," Miss
Rausch believes. "The earlier stu
dents are reached, the greater is
the posibility of correction. I be
lieve individual work should be
given In more of the high schools
for that reason."
Girls majoring in physical edu
cation at the university are given
a chance to apply their theory be
fore graduation. For this purpose,
the department sends out each fall
an invitation to parents who are
interested in having their children
take this development work. This
year a class of young people of
varying ages takes work under
the Instruction of the "practice
teachers" In physical education.
Each major student is given a cer
tain number of children which re
main under her Instruction thruout
the school year.
Miss Rausch stresses the import
ance of the right kind of exercises
for building up general health. Ex
ercises, she declares, need not
mean exertion. Sometimes, as in
the case of the girls who come un
der her supervision, mild exercise
is the only kind which Is at all
effective. There is nothing quite
so important for the best applica
tion to the school routine of the
student as the development and
maintenance of good health, she in
sists. In this capacity then, indi
vidual supervision fulfills an Im
portant need.
