Editorial Off Ice University Hall 4. The Faculty Scores Again. NEBKASKA students and Coruhusker root ers indulged in a brief bit of dreaming early this week ns rumors persisted 1bat Ne braska's Corubuskers were to be extended an invitation to play in the Sugar bowl against Louisiana State university on New Years day. The dreams appeared near realization, then suddenly broke as Wednesday's morning pa per carried the news that Texas Christian had been selected to play against the Louisi ana team. Some sport columnists were quick to point out that Husker rooters and students had per mitted their imagination to , ruu riot with them, and conjured up all sorts of excuses why Nebraska either was not asked or could not accept. Athletic department officials denied that an official invitation had been received by Nebraska, the only thing they could do and still do justice to whatever team would be next in line. But all this beating around the bush ac complishes its purpose poorly. Anyone who talked with Nebraska players after their meet ing Tuesday afternoon, anyone who saw Coach Bible hurry to a special meeting of the board of control with smiles all over his face and come out in the opposite mood knows that no amount of official denying can get around the fact that the Sugar bowl bid officially came to Nebraska with the sincere hope that the Cornhuskers would accept. And had the Coi n huskers had their way, Nebraska would have played in the Sugar bowl on New Year's day. It appears, however, that there is n little matter of faculty approval connected with post-season games as well ns with regular schedules. It seems that the faculty is very averse to football, especially such games as will put Nebraska on the map and bring some recognition to this university and state. So Nebraska is forced to turn down the Sugar bowl bid while about ,0()0 students and thou sands of Husker fans over the middlewest arc still wondering why. Of course, no official statement that such is the case van he inveigled from the power that he, hut this is not without prevalent. It is not commonly known on the campus that a .Xvbraska-Army series in football vumc, close, to becoming a reality last year but for this same obstinate faculty sentiment which is keeping Nebraska at home Xno Year's day. Hut then a lot of things that would open stu dent eyes are kept similarly hidden or an at tempt is made to do so. After all, isn't the university for the facultyl The Nebraskan anticipates a reply to the effect that a numlxu' of Nebraska varsity men are ineligible, thus precluding acceptance of the bid. In the face of n recent statement by Conch Bible during the NYA controversy, that all varsity men were up in their hours, this is indeed a sudden development. And were the former true, it is highly probable that what ever scholastic deficiencies may have existed could be cleared up by Christmas. Further more, there are but eleven men on a team and Nebraska has a quantity of reserves whom the experience would not harm in preparation for next year. Ineligibility seems shaky ground on which to base the refusal. No doubt it will also be said that athletics are already overemphasized here, lo which the Nebraskan is inclined to voice its assent. In a school in which so many ties that bind stu dent and alumni to university are sadly lack ing, however, in a school where student re quests and needs in oilier fields are so badly and shamefully neglected, athletics, and for the most part, football, are the one thing which helps build up interest in the university. It is one of the few things that engenders a feel ing of pride in and close relationship to this school. Nebraska fares poorly at the hands of the state each biennimn. But what would be its fate were it not for those attracted to the uni versity's cause because of football or other sports? Football is the one thing that his brought some degree of fame to' Nebraska. It is a regrettable fact but the reality, for such it is, must be faced. And it need not neces sarily be faced with a feeling of shame or dis grace. Here stands the University of Nebraska, poorly equipped, poorly housed, its faculty underpaid, its facilities and equipment inade quate, its curriculum and teaching methods in need of revitalization. Here we stand, too, in disfavor with much of the state. Before we can achieve an improvement in intellectual and cultural sentiment and thought among the faculty and students we must fare better at the hands of the state. We must pay our faculty more, we must enlarge and improve its membership. We. must build new buildings, secure needed equipment, and improve our extracurricular educational pro gram. But before we can do this we must se cure the wholehenrted backing of the state which is grudgingly given when given at all. Now it seems that one of the few things the state is proud of about the university, in fact almost the only thing, is its football team. When that team invades a foreign gridiron, the hearts of Nebraska citizens follow that teaam with every play. When it conquers mighty foes Nebraska rejoices; when it loses, it is still proud and waits for the next chance. The football team makes the university look pretty good around the state, and people get Politicians Seek Program to Replace AAA McKelvie (Continued from Page 1.) obtaining equality for agriculture have always been impractical, ac cording to his belief, or else they have been offset by something more that was done for those with whom the farmer was made equal. Cash Impresses Farmers. McKelvie writes that the late Washington move has been more popular than the others because it ''lays the csh on the barrel head every so often in amounts irrge enough to be seen, and appreci ated." The recipients are "en grossed with Thanksgiving" to such an extent that they have no time to look Into the origin of the gifts that they are receiving. The articles states many of the things which it is said the thought ful farmer will admit regarding the AAA and the underlying theory of "planned economy." Among these are the following: "It presumed tha omnipotence of man over na ture," It gives rise to so-called ever-normal abundance,' "it aggra vates unemployment," "it encour ages marginal acres," and "it looses export markets." Realize Deficiencies. "Farmers admit these as well as other things to be true," the ar ticle continues. They realize that they are paying In reduced selling prices or in increased cost of pro ducts they buy. "Temporarily, the farmer's in come has been enchanced, but it has been done thru the law of di minishing returns. Fewer hogs, less use for corn, more idle acres, and so on, down the descending spiral to mediocrity." "The simplest and most basic laws of nature invite, or actually compel arbitrary shifts In farm products under the AAA. "These," McKelvie says, "will be bound to seal Its doom in the end."

LINCOLN ARMY STORE 202 So. 11th out nnd try to put in a few good words for the school ns a result, Ma.vlio this makes the faculty jealous be caue they have done little to make the people of Nebraska very enthusiastic about Iheni. Anyway, the faculty pops up with a big anti football sentiment. And so when the Army game seems probable and now when the team gets a chance to put the school and the stale on the map, (and, incidentally, to put in a few good licks for the university about the Btate), the faculty see its chance and throws the mon key wrench in the works. And 1 lie general re sult is very highly successful from their point of view, for Nebraska gets a "no go" order both times. , A lot more could be said about the inci dent but what's the use? It's the same old story told over nnd over again, as demon strated by the union building, bookstore, ac tivity tax, nnd other requests. Hut then the faculty and administration are . zealouslv guarding the interests of the student body and while doing a right nice job of it they succeed every once in a while in gumming up the works where it really counts. We grant that something besides athletics should hold the student, alumni, and friends of the university to its cause but that some thing happens to be lacking. Until it: is found, or developed, it would be n good idea to take advantage of what we have to better the school's fate. Think what a boost the univer sity would receive around the state from play ing in the Sugar bowl. Perhaps the faculty cut off its nose to spite its face. j Off the Mj Campus Lynn Leonard Munitions Manufacturers were threatened with federal prosecution for failure to register with the state department under the neutrality act by Secretary of State Hull. Eighty -six firms dealing in arms muni tions and articles of war were registered be fore the Nov. 2!) deadline, but several, accord ing to Hull, had failed to register. The attor ney general will receive their names for action unless they are registered in a few days. Here is a step in the proper direction. If some of the profit of war is restricted, it will not be so desirable to business men, who are reputed to even promote war. Munition manufacturers are usually powerful and wealthy. That fact should not interfere with enforcement of the neutrality act, and Hull's action indicates that it will not. Mussolini Is Reported to be worrying no longer about an oil em bargo that may be imposed against Italy soon by the league. He feels assured of an adequate supply of oil because of a gentlemen's agree ment that is supposed to exist between the Italian government nnd the Societa Italo Americana del Petrolic, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey. It would supply Italy with oil from Kumania and other sources outside the United States upon application of the oil embargo. The agree ment was denied, however, by the president of the New Jersey company, but the story was thoroughly investigated before being released by the United Press. The fact that a previous agreement was denied and then later admitted by the company gives this one possibilities. Educators Here to Discuss Civic Leadership Play (Continued from Page 1.) and over the state are expected to attend. Conference opens with a dinner Friday evening; at 6:30 when Rail Grigsby, director of the nationally known public forum at Des Moines, la., will deliver an address on "The Public Forum as an Ex periment In Adult Civic Educa tion."
