Let 'Em "
Have It.
SATURDAY, almost six months after a stu
dent committee had placed in the hands
of the board of repents, petitions requesting
them to apply for PWA funds with which to
construct a union building for Nebraska, these
self same regents agreed to request students to
name a committee of three or five to confer
with them and discuss the possibilities for such
a project. . , ,
Yes, with most PWA funds gone, and
much of the money gone to universities and
colleges who were wide awake and progres
sive enough to apply for and receive grants
with which to build much-needed campus ad
ditions, the illustrious University of Nebraska
will now consider what should be done about
the situation.
The regents, it seems, also want to consult
the alumni and faculty to ascertain what their
stand may be on the matter. Of course, the
regents have forgotten the student represent
atives who appeared before them and made
clear the alumni association's pledge to fur
nish and equip the building if the university
would seek PWA funds. Faculty members,
too, except those who cherished the phan
tom of a library and unfounded fears that a
union building would danger prospects for a
library, declared themselves in favor of the
plan.
Today, after seeing student enthusiasm
for a union building reach its greatest height
on the campus, after seeing Nebraska's con
gressmen throw their weight behind the plan,
after securing PWA officials' promise to help
in every way, and then seeing the project die
an unwarranted death by administrative red
tape, the alumni association is decidedly put
out, and with good reason. Yet the alumni are
still willing to go thru with their part of the
bargain if the administration will start the ball
rolling.
Certain members of the board expressed
themselves as opposed to assessing additional
fees against students sufficient to liquidate
the PWA loan, it is reported. That is indeed
heartening to think that the regents consider
so carefully the welfare cf student pocket
books. It is especially commendable in view
of the additional dollar they soaked students
this fall for the student health service which
probably more than half the student body will
never use or never want to use if they do be
eome ill. They want efficient attention on
sneh occasions. But then maybe students
wanted to pay this dollar for something to
benefit a few students and didn't want to pay
for a union building which would benefit all
and also the school. Just look at the petition
signers.
The regents want to know how the stu
dent body stands. That should be a compara
tively easy matter. The course so far as stu
dents is concerned is plainly charted. Federal
funds are still a possibility altho improbable.
But action to start the union building fund
should be taken immediately this week.
The regents want to know how students
feel sometime before Christmas. All right. The
student council should meet in special session
if necessary to name the committee of five to
meet with the regents and also frame a reso
lution representing student sentiment. Notify
the regents that this committee is ready to
meet with them next week, tomorrow, any
time that it is lucky enough to get a break(T)
on this important matter. It won't take long
to make the student stand clear.
The regents asked for something. Let's
see that they get it and a double-barreled dose.
BROWSING
Among th
BOOKS
(In the absence of Maurice Johnson, who
regularly conducts this column, it is written
by Eddie Young, president of JIu Lambda
51u, social fraternity. This column will appear
each Sunday in the future).
I've been telling the fellows here at the
House about this book, and I've been reading
to them out of it, and they all say it's blamed
good stuff. Of course I don't have any time
to waste on pleasure-books, with all my engi
neering courses and responsibility here at the
fraternity, but whenever I see anything by
rnest Heminway I get hold of it as soon as
i can. I've rad just about everything he ever
wrote, I guess. Hemingway's one boy that
punches straight out at you there's some-tkii-j
kind of ltn and hard-hitting and
orestlless about the wy he writes. None of
your arty daydreams and sweetness and light
fr him, let me tell yen. Hemingway's all
right
"Green Hills of Africa" kind of makes
you wonder, though. You have to go some to
Deat swell Hemingway short-stories like "Fif
ty Grand" and "The Killers;" the novels
The Sun Also ie" and "A Farewell to
Arms" were chock-full of action and yet they
had an air of futility, so to speak, about them
"Death in the Afternoon" was the damdest
thincr all about bull-fighters being gored and
neauty of line and throw-in anecdotes. But, as
x say, you riiiu ui huuuh auuuv w...
of Africa."
TTommcwnv claims this book is "absolute
Jy tme" and says that it's about "the shape of
a country ana me pauem oi a munm op
tion. " Well, Africa's shapo didn't get me
very excited, I'm afraid; but when there was
action, all that brutal business ouout snooting
hyenas and hunting kudus, I was right there.
.And when Hemingway's talking about him
self, that's all right, too. He's the sort of guy
you'd like to know. Oh, he swaggers around
and gets sore now and tnen, out ne manes Him
self out a good egg. And then there's Pop,
there's Poor Old Mama, there's M'Cola, and
there's David Garrick, too, besides Heming
way in the book.
He doesn't get anywhere when he starts
talking about James Joyce and Thomas Wolfe
and George Moore and queer people like that.
It seems to me those ultra-literary sections are
mixed up in the wrong book. It's the way it's
written that makes "Green Hills of Africa"
worry you most, though. Something's hap
pened to the Hemingway sentences. Back in
the time of "The Sun Also Rises" you had a
hard time finding a sentence that was over a
line long; now the sentences go on and on, ris
ing and falling, like a whistle that's got stuck.
1 can't figure out why Hemingway has
changed this way. Maybe he thought these
long sentences would give the effect of the
heat in Africa and the rolling African hills,
and the hunters' slow creeping up on African
animals. I don't know.
There are a lot of things that stand out
of "Green Hills of Africa," all right. There's
that swell part about the snout-nosed hyenas
being shot and spinning around and biting at
their own insides, of course; I'd like to quote
that part. You read about the rainy season,
the blistering sun, swearing, beer, sweat, baboon-smell,
rhinos, gazelles, kudus. You feel
like a piker to think of the duck or two you've
shot.
It's pretty tame in comparison, but this
ser1?uce sticks in my mind: "They went off
and now, at the end of the day, the sun came
out brightly below the clouds and the Wan-derobo-Masai
and I looked at this kudu, meas
ured his horns, smelled the fine smell of him,
sweeter than the eland, even, stroked his nose,
his neck, and his shoulders, marvelling at the
great ears, and the smoothness and clearness
of his hide, looked at his hooves, that were
built long, narrow, and sprigy so he seemed
to walk on tip-toe, felt under his shoulder for
the bullet-hole and then shook hands again
while the Wanderobo-Masai told what a man
he was and I told him he was my pal and gave
him my best four-bladed pocket knife."
That's pretty slick writing, isn't it? But
now I wish I'd quoted the part about the hye
nas.

Scene of New War is Shanghai with about
two thousand marines marching into the city
after the assassination of one of their com
rades. They are apparently enforcing the
threat by the Japanese embassy of drastic ac
tion unless satisfaction is forthcoming. Ja
pan's war department is opposing China's new
silver program and indicated that it could not
overlook an attempt by Great Britain to re
duce China into semicolonial status. The at
tempt is a British loan of about 50 million
dollars which is reported to be impending.
Japan announced that opposition to the plan
was caused by the fact that it was threatening
the happiness of the Chinese people and hin
dering the establishment of peace in the far
east.
Ethiopia Began Offensive moves after an
important agreement which is believed1 to in
clude military alliance was concluded between
Emperor Haile Selaesie and the inam of Ye

ment will enlist the help of Ibn Saud, warrior
king of Saudi-Arabia, for Ethiopia. Selassie
has thousands of troops on the way to the
northern front to halt the advance of Italian
empire-building legions. He expects to have
half a million well armed troops on all fronts
by Nov. 20.
Italy is Preparing: to meet the League

between Italy and Ethiopia. England has in

the League and Selassie, and Selassie has said

Blockade of Italy which is the supreme
sanction would not be supported by even Great
Britain, Baldwin insisted, unless he knew be
forehand that the United States would help.
He thinks such action would be difficult in
the absence of the help of three countries out
side the League-America, Germany, and Japan.
Any of those countries selling goods to a
blockaded country might result in war with
that country, and then the League would be
promoting tather than preventing war.

Wore
Cooperation.
TO THE EDITOR:
Can student organizations withstand the
Administrative sanctions and restrictions be
ing placed on them! This seems to be a prob
lem of increasing formidableness.
Many of we social-minded students at Ne
braska are aware of, and disgusted with, the
recently inaugurated and novel idea of requir
ing organizations to become financiers in or
der to provide the campus with social events.
Such restrictions if rigidly followed will un
doubtedly kill some worthy groups on the
campus within the course of a few years.
Last year the Tassles conducted a most
successful pre-season sale of season football
tickets among students, breaking all existing
that time. In appreciation of
their efforts, the athletic department thru Mr.
John K. Selleck devised a little scneme oi tneir
own and supplemented it in place of the
former method of selling the season grid duc
ats. Thus depriving the. Tassles or a niucu
needed source of revenue.
Corn Cobs have also come in for their
ftlmrn nf fonndation-rockine from the Student
Activities office and the Administration. In
thP fnll nf 1034. their chief source of revenue.
the sale of football programs, was taken from
them. They succeeded in "coaxing" the Ad
ministration into letting them sponsor a sub-
script ion dance. The party provided tne major
portion of the funds for the trip to Lawrence.
This fall to start the year off so that it
might be a challenge to the Corn Cobs, Mr.
John K. Selleck with the new device of his
sold out the section usually occupied by the
Corn Cob organization. Through ingenious ef
forts of several members of the pep club they
succeeded in obtaining two boxes of seats be
tween the thirty and the thirty-five yard lines.
As further evidence of cooperation from the
Administration the Corn Cobs were informed
that they could not give a dance in order to fi
nance their trip to Manhattan. They were also
refused the opportunity of selling football pro
grams. Not to be so easily beaten, they set
out to find other ways of making the coveted
trip. They succeeded most admirably through
the sale of Nebraska pennants, but only after
pleading on bended knee for the privilege of
selling them.
And now comes this latest evidence of
whole hearted support from the nff:- of Mr.
John K. Selleck. For both of the last two foot
ball games, the Corn Cobs have been the proud
possessors of two boxes without a chair set up
in them, nor the wherewith to obtain the
chairs. It is heart-warming, to say the least,
to know that the Student Activities office ap
preciates our work in rallies, building bon
fires, creating genuine school spirit, and oth
erwise performing duties relative to athletics.
The Corn Cobs have struggled against al
most insurmountable odds to stage a "come
back" from an unenviable position of several
years back. They have not reached the top
by any means. Could it be that we expect too
much in asking that the "powers that be"
give us level ground upon which to stage our
struggle?
In protesting our situation last Saturdav,
several of us were nearly banished from the
game by one of the members of the R. O. T. C.
staff. We couldn't take tuioccupied chairs
from the band nor from other boxes. We
couldn't stand up, and we couldn't get down
on the t rack. e couldn't "beef," and we
couldn't get the proper authorities who are
supposed to prepare the stadium for games.
Ve were permitted, after paving $G for
admission to athletic contests, to drape our
selves as best we could over the railings and
cement walls and realize that we were repre
senting, to those present at the game, the Uni
versity of Nebraska's chapter of Pi Epsilon
Pi, a national pep fraternity.
Will someone put us right if we are too
presumptions in our demands and too egotisti
cal in our estimated worth to the campus and
to the school.
Maybe
We're Tired.
TO THE EDITOR:
Nearly all student have been taking six
weeks examinations during 1 lie pust two weeks,
and it would not be mii-prising if bystanders
began to wonder if this might possibly be the
rpnunn for th sad. disconsolate, and droopy
appearance of a great many students on the
campus.
This wenry and indifferent attitude is re
flected in ninny ways. Students sprawl in
their seats and those of others while in classes ;
nt the libraries they hunch themselves over the
study tables or try to lie down on them. When
they walk they present nn extremely tired ap
pearance, many being round shouldered and
downright droopy looking.
Surely this does not come from carrying
books because the majority of students do not
carry more 'than a notebook and one or two
texts while the -sight of a text, let alone carry
ing one, would no doubt be a fatal shock to
others.
Young people should not have such poor
postures while sitting, standing, or walking,
or trying to do these things. They should stand
erect and use a firm stride when walking, head
up and eyes ahead. It is easy of course to de
velop poor habits of posture but it is as easy
to form correct habits and benefits from tho
standpoint of health and appearance would be
realized.
Anyway, it might look a little better if
Nebraska students tried to be a little more con
scious and awake than going around as if they
held the burdens of the world on their shoul
ders and had fallen asleep from the monotony
of it.

Why Con'l
We Suim?
TO THE EDITOR:
The free hours for men's swimming in the
university pool has been limited to two hours a
day. This is the only time that men students,
who are not registered in physical education
classes have access to the pool.
To many students who like to take an occa
sional swim and to those who depend upon it
for their form of daily exercise, the change in
schedule has denied them the privilege of us
ing the pool. Why could not the schedule be
changed so as to give back the men s atternoon
period, or at least a period in the morning!
As flip, swimminc schedule now stands, the
only period open to men is from 12 to 2 p. m.,
the only time on the entire schedule when a
nprsnn should not swim. It is a well known
fact that one should not go into the water for
at least two hours after eating. Why then
should those in charge of the pool shove these
two unwanted hours on the men when they
know it is dangerous to swim at that time?
Last year the free hour for men was from
4 to 5 in the afternoon, but now the girls have
that Vinnr. Thfl varsitv has the pool from 5 to 6
to do their swimming. There is no reason to
forse students to join the l . M. C. A. just to
enable them to swim when we have one of the
best pools in this part of the country right here
on our campus.
It seems that university pool ofticials have
hopn innonsirlprntp to snv the least, and we stu-
Hpnts should riffhtlv demand a proper time to
have access to the pool. After all, school facili
ties of this sort should be equally open to all,
and not just those who enter for credit.
. U.
But We Only
Paid for It.
TO THE EDITOR:
The university swimming pool lias been
paid for by the assessment of fees upon stu
dents enorlling in this institution. One dollar
per semester has been charged each student
since the installation of this pool for its pay
ment. In view of these facts it would seem only
fair that students be permitted to use what
they paid for.
The women's phyMal education depart
ment can hardly be blamed for selecting the
most convenient hours. They have first choice
-; ml naturally pick those hours which will per
iuit women students an opportunity of swim
ming, but what about male students?
It is true that sufficient classes have been
provided to accommodate male students desir
ing instruction in swimming. It is unfortu
nate that not every student has an opportu
nity or the time necessary to enroll in and re
ceive redit from one of these classes. The so
lution of the problem, naturally, is the main
tenance of a time when noii-eurolled students
insiy swim.
At the present time there is maintained
such a period. It is during the noon hour and
is the only opportunity mule students, not en
rolled in classes, have for swimming. Compli
cations prevent most students from indulging
during that hour. In view of the fact that
male students paid for half of the pool, it might
be well to suggest that they be given an oppor
tunity to swim.
