TOMORROW Dana X. Bible's Cornhuskers
A go out to meet one of the toughest foes of
the season. There will be few rooters at Pitts
burgh to cheer for the Nebraska eleven as it
battles its strong opponent, but there will be
plenty of people here who will anxiously await
the outcome of the game.
Yet for many "loyal" Nebraskans there
will be another reason besides that of wanting
to see the old alma mater win which will glue
them to their seats and make them anxiously
await each new score as it comes over the ra
dio. They will be wondering whether or not
that bet that they placed will win or lose them
the money which it is hoped will make their
Thanksgiving a merrier one.
Much has been said and written about the
commercialization of college football from the
standpoint of team management and subsidi
zation of players. There is still something to
be said and written about the fans who eager
ly haunt "bookie" offices to discover the best
way to make a few dollars erase the total on
the red side of the ledger.
Unfortunately this aspect of college foot
ball is not a sport with a great many people ;
it's a business. A quarter or a dollar from a
Nebraskan saying that LaXoue will wriggle
past that line for the first touchdown is sport.
Ten dollars saying that Pittsburgh will beat
Nebraska is business.
Careful survey of the betting agencies will
show that odds of 5 to 2 and 12 to 5 for Pitts
burgh are being offered. Or you can bet even
money if you give 7 points and take Pitts
burgh. Now, if you're a business man and hare
some ready cash, you can probably wangle
yourself a little spending money by taking ad
vantage of the experience and knowledge of
These men and placing your bet on the other
team.
The Nebraskan does not take it upon it
self to criticize betting. We only ask whether
or not that student who bets against his own
team can be truly pulling for that team. Is it
impossible to suppose that though he'd like to
see Nebraska win, he'd also hate to lose the
$5 he's placed on the other squad T Those per
sons who regard betting as a business are
probably not those who would be glad to lose
a little money just to see the Scarlet and
Cream come through with colors flying.
In both news and editorial columns the
Nebraskan has attempted this year to stress
the importance of building up the Cornhusker
spirit, not only in sports, but in all projects
which the university or any group within the
University undertakes. To bet against the
Uiblemen is hardly a good sample of the spirit
of loyalty which ought to enliven the student
oody.
Football should be sport. We want to
give our team all the encouragement and sup
port of which we are capable. If you knew
your classmates were betting against you
would you feel like going out to win or die
for dear old Rugby T You would not. You'd
feel like telling the Monday morning quarter
backs to go out and win their own game.
It's not entirely discouraging to hear
about the alum from a nearby town who carne
to the Husker-Oopher tilt with $100 bet on
Minnesota. He lived in a rather small town
and by the time the game had rolled around
there was no one in the place who was on
peaking terms with him. He must have had
ft dreary trip down here, sitting among Ilusker
rooters, frowned on, alone. He had h hun
dred dollars, he could glory in his astute dis
cernment, but he didn't have fun; he didn't
know what "sport" meant. There were enough
real football enthusiasts left in that place, that
tit action, wise though it may have been, must
fcave given him little pleasure.
Those who want to make money sluuld
Utick to dice or horse racing. Let the real
sports, the real fans, the real Cornhuskers bet
on Nebraska to win every time.

TO TEE EDITOR:
It is a thrilling experience to visit a large
'university in the heat of action. Every avail
able parking space is occupied all day, and
touch of it well into the night. The general
.appearance ii that of an enormous automobile
factory working at top speed, with all its
products on outdoor exhibition.
A gong rings in eaeh building. At once
the walks are swarming with enthusiastic, hur
rying youth, making the shortest route to some
other, iiuildiiig. IheZ 11 appear to definitely.
know where they are going, how long is re
quired to cover the distance, the speed they
must make, and to have a general idea what
may be acquired upon reaching the destina
tion. But does the objective end there? The
need for a keen training toward objectives for
youth is at high tide. To be busily absorbed
in a college education, or in a technical train
ing, with never an eye to the future is like
driving a car blindfolded. One would need to
bo alone in the Sahara desert as a highway to
proceed safety. Yet even a blind man may
drive with comparative safety if his compan
ion guide be alert, and if the guide carefully
direct the way.
Are college students enrolled mostly for
the thrill of college, for society and the social
uplift, for the activities, and are they being
unintentionally taught and permitted to "take
no thought for the morrow?" Are they copy
ing our national plan, and preparing each day
as it comes and for the present only,kor do
they see, .through recent past history and ex
periences that they must prepare themselves
for tremendous adjustments in the not so far
future, nationally, educationally, and techni
cally? A four year education will no longer last
a lifetime. Life requires more adjustment and
change during the post-college years than dur
ing college, or in the pre-college days. Never
nas there been so vital a necessity for looking
forward, particularly to the college man and
woman. And childhood days have passed
when we enter college.
College days are the days for viewing
from the intellectual mountain tops, when one
should be guided into his proper and fitting
nighway of life. These arc the few short days,
although they may seem long, when the privi
lege of higher education becomes the student's
privilege of visioning what the world may be
doing during his next fifty years, and what
place he may be occupying in them.
An objective-minded student means a busy
student. It means a student who is learning
what to do with himself, and why he is con
cerned with these activities, and where they
will lead him. An objective is good. It is a
necessity to a college student. J. 0.

is what he would do if he knew he would
never be found out." Macaulay.
TIME AND TIDE
ABROAD
by
BOB ZIMMERMAM
Among the various sanctions about which
we are, as presumably good American citizens
should be, concerned, is the economic sanction
against belligerent Italy and Ethiopia. And
as good American citizens, we should question
now the United States may remain neutral and
still carry on trade with cither of the two bel
ligerents. A similar query has arisen and
answers from the state and executive depart
ments have been proclaimed and reiterated
from time to time, but in terms of appellate
restrictions or appeals to American citizens to
abide by the proclamations on the basis of
their sense of duty and reason.
How beautiful this may sound in the
ears of Mr. Big Businessl The arms em
bargo declaration, of course, precludes the
misinterpretation that might arise from the
ambiguous statement to the effect that trans
actions with the belligerents on the part of
American citizens are "at their own risk."
rJ'0 us ordinary onlookers who have a sense
of judgment, the neutrality declaration is
the only alternative for the Americans to fol
low. We substantiate our judgment by refer
ring to our national economic and geographic
situation. Geographically, we are immune
from most types of pernicious aerial attacks,
and generally speaking we are isolated to such
a degree that any military exploitation by se
rious powers would be impossible.
But strictly speaking, from our economic
position, we are one of the three most self
suffie irv,t nations in the world, competing only
with U ussia and Great Britain in this respect.
Therein is our reason for supporting an edict
of state for neutrality; that our "status quo"
IS Such that allows us tn rpmnin nlnnf fmm U
all. But Great Britain, although her "status
quo" is satisfactory, must protect her empire,
and in so doing she must know the position of
America. It behooves us then to avoid dis
criminations so we declare that we are to re
main neutral.
Now just what does Mr. Big Business
think about avoiding transactions, other than
those of munitions, etc., for war purposes, with
the belligerents? It is difficult enough to keep
business within the realm of equitable trans
actions even in time of peace, and it stands to
reason, and experience, that Big Business, even
at its own risk, will not see its opportunity to
make a few extra dollars shattered, especially
when Uncle Sam is so generous in appealing
to his sense of duty.
In short, someone's cornflakes or candy
oars will or might become flotsam and jetsam
in some foreign sea. Who would argue against
the possibility? England must protect her
empire, and the Italians are illiterate and
hort-sighted enough to misread or mistake
the name of some American ship, and down
with Paul Jones, or is it Davy, it would go
As a result, we the people will man the boats
and go fishing, in military stylo, for the corn
flakes and candy bars, merely because Mr. Big
Business interprets "at his own risk" as "do
at he pleases."
Insofar as Uncle Sam is able to enforce
tit declaration of neutrality we are safe; inso
far as business is transacted with the bellig
erents. "at its own risk," we are in danger,
due to the evident fact that Mr. Big Business,
Ms silfjsh interests, his listless intercourse
with the government, and his tenacity toward
profits preclude his strict adherence to gov
ernmental restrictions.
