isintained that Nebras-
Merit in
Basketball.
Tin IT whs once in
tans t'ailr.-i to sunoort their basketball
team. If such accusations were made in the
fu.. nf thp stntistical attendance iicure sub
mitted after the Kansas-Nebraska game Friday
night only uproarious laughter would be the
reply. Friday s tilt drew over i.uuu persons,
more than any maple contest has ever drawn
in the past on'the Coliseum court. Such record
breaking attendance must be the result of
something other than mere desire to furnish
team support.
Obviously the answer may be found in the
fact that Nebraska rooters expected to see. not
just one good team in action, but two squads
with records back of them that would justify
the expectation of a hard-fought encounter.
"When the athletic units involved establish such
a notion of prestige and ability as to make
every battle seem a crucial moment in the
treacherous climb toward ultimate recognition,
then crowds inundate the coliseum maples.
It is far better to have willing, nay, eager
iind clamoring, supporters than to have those
whose only reason comes from sense of duty,
a sense of loyalty or from the very simple rea
son that as lonsr as students have an athletic
ticket they might as well attend. Wholehearted
and sincere support is given the team with
merit. When a team shows its wares and es
tablishes within the minds of interested par
ties the impression that they are getting dol
lar for dollar value, no need for superficial
support arises.
This year the team under the direction of
Coach Harold Browne rose almost to the pin
nacle of success. Gradually building from a
position only one up from the cellar. Coach
Browne this year culminated his work up to
date with a stronc bid for the Big Six Confer
ence basketball title. Landing ultimately in
second place the Browncmen expect to con
tinue their stride the cominsr year. Commenda
tions are due the team. Commendations are
due their coach. Ample evidence of the say
ing that "so goes the winner, so goes the
crowd" is shown in the season's attendance
record.
a e
Rather than cynicism regarding this phase
of the student body's support, should arise the
inspiration of competition, a paramount func
tion of college sport. While backing the vic
tor in deference to the man at the bottom of
the heap may have its drawbacks, nevertheless
it also has its irood points. Merit becomes the
objective. Skill becomes the neceNsary quali
fications. Team-work coupled with the spirit
of perseverance enters ihe fray. When this
is done and a victorious team then emerges, a
feeling of something well done rests not only
with the coach but with the players. Cotnpat
ability, possessed of mutual benefit, in reached.
Coach Browne has performed his task well.
Functioning as assistant coach on the Jlusker
gridiron usually necessitates postponement of
active participation with the maple quintet
until a later date than that assumed by other
schools. Coach "Bhog" Allen, for example,
has no gridiron duties; as such he may begin
seasonal practice when he desires.
With the remark that merit will in due
time receive adequate recognition, although
prospects at the time of outlook seem dull,
the Nebraskan wishes the Husker basketball
teams of the future continued success that
they might enjoy continuation of whole
hearted student support.

Student Forum.
To the Editor:
Can it be possible that Nebraska students
are not aware of the increasing precarious state
of international relations? Have they never
heard of the great student movement against
war, born at Chicago in 1932? A movement
which broke sharply from the fruitless formu
lae of the old pacifists. To be sure, adminis
trators haven't championed the right of their
students to speak out on peace, and this uni
versity was the first to attempt halting the
campaign (for the obvious reason that it feared
refusal of financial support). Education has
found that the fundamental cause of war and
its logical implications to action are too hot
for it to handle. At the outset, the student as
semblage could not fail to set forth this basic
assumption, arising from the evidence of the
previous war and the approach of the new one :
International conflict is primarily an out
growth of the profit system inherent in the
status and politics of imperialism. Whether
one liked this social order or not, one had to
admit that war was one of its most flagrant de
ficiencies. Even the once-ardent advocates of
the League of Nations perceived that the most
convincing pact could not stop the quest for
markets and the placement of capital, especial
ly at a time of enduring internal distress. Ef
fective opposition to war would require vigor
ous combat with the essence of imperialism and
the vested interests involved.
People who wish to abolish war wish to
abolish R. 0. T. C, for it is the campus personi
fication of war and repression. The corps has
always had intolerant, chauvinist, and anti
cultural tendencies.
We are only kidding ourselves when we
say we can prevent war by reliance on God or
neutrality laws. In 1929 our possibilities of in
ternal exploitation for American capitalism
were exhausted, and the crash came. When
Roosevelt came to power, instead of the liberal,
co-operative foreign policy he wanted, he was
forced to make one of strongest possible com
petition. He could not even co-operate with
America's trade rivals in establishing a common
standard of value, which meant that the capi
talist empires could no longer co-operate even
about the conditions of their competition. This
desperate rivalry against one another and such
unlimited, unrestrained competition must re
sult in war, for it is a struggle for survival
American capitalism saving itself at the ex
pense of British, Japanese. German, French
and all other capitalisms. We had ths leading
place today in world affairs.
Ne can maintain the existing class domi
nation and destroy material and human forces
in war. Or we can organize the new produc
tive forces as social forces for the rapid and
enormous raising of the material basis of so
ciety, the destruction of poverty, ignorance
and disease; the unlimited carrying forward of
science and culture, and the organization of a
world society in which all human beings will
be able to reach their full stature. U. K.

Martial Law in Japan.
is the result of an uprising in which militarists
seized control of the Japanese government
after assassinating several political leaders.
Compromise efforts have failed while the situa
tion as regards the rebels remains unchanged,
although the country is said to be quiet and
orderly awaiting developments. General Kohei
Kashii, supreme commander under martial law
reported that his soldiers were efficient and in
good spirits, ready to enforce all orders of
Emperor Hirohito.
Aeu Cubinet J the
desire of the emperor and is probably the only
thing that will save the situation. Suggested
in press dispatches from Tokio as a strong pos
sibility to become the leader of the new cabi
net is General Sadao Araki, who is the idol of
the Japanese army and a strong nationalist.
Should he come into power the revolt will have
an immediate effect on the affairs of the coun
try. In a recent speech he said, " oe to those
who oppose our arms. We declare to the world
we are a militaristic nation."
General Sadao Araki
was formerly minister of war and a command
ing voice in Japanese government affairs even
before he became chief of the military. He is
known as a fascist, but his ideas embodv a
peculiar kind of fascism as the result of his
oriental philosophy of military and political
ontrol. His theory is based on the belief that
he Japanese are a race of divine origin or
dained to rule mankind. He urged successfully
the training of men, women and children in the
use of arms. On the subject of Japanese-American
peace he once said, "Limitation of arm
aments will not be enough. We must have a
fundamental understanding, a mutual determi
nation not to go to war." This statement is
not consistent, however, with his belief that
Japan is destined to rule the world.
Young Army Rebel
and Japanese army authorities are reported to
be fighting for control. All compromises which
the two factions are reported to have formed
have very little meaning when they are thor
oughly investigated, and the situation is still
not under control, even with these groups. The
extremist army rebels had. however, agreed to
a compromise under which the enlisted soldiers
were to return to their regiments but details
had not been arranged.
General Utei Lgaki
former governor of Korea is another strong
candidate for prime minister. He is supported
by the navy and the liberals, but the army is
against him, evidently supporting Araki and
possibly General Jinzabuto Mazaki. National
leaders believe that negotiations have been
made difficult by these disagreeing factions
and the possible desire of the army leaders to
form a military dictatorship.

Supporters of the store have
asked that students keep their old
books and sell them when the store
is opened. Second hand texts
which will be used in classes the
semester following will be bought
at 50 percent of the original cost
of the books and are to be sold for
a 25 percent increase, according to
Seaton.
Instructors are now sending in
lists of texts to be used next fall so
that the store can be opened imme
