3 vigor. In the future football will pam
become the acclaim of the allege world AUilr
k i early to deal with the sublet. ni ""out
Mother month Big' Six football heads w.
meet to decide the coming notions of those
within the conference circle. When tins con
flib Jakes place it would be well to duly con
aider the football player's angle .
(iher schools in the nation offer consider
able aid to their athletes by financing their
iay thru a variety of subtle methods. Coach
Jock Sutherland came out last year with the
statement that there was no use of KviUc
Rlly disguising the subsidization of players.
Furthermore, he went on to claim that Bueh
practice was perfectly Iccilima e. His defense
of awarding athletic scholarships attracted
nation-wide comment att he tune.
Nebraska has always stood free from con
demnation on this score. Its record is perfectly
clear the slate heing almost too clean. Jn the
Southeastern athletic conference the issuance
of athletic scholarships was recently sanc
tioned. Bringing to the limelight practices
that have previously been hidden in the dark
ened shadows of subterfuge, the conference
legitimized a practice that has been regarded
as" dishonorable, altho almost every school
does it after a fashion. They argue that schol
arships are given for other special abilities, so
whv not for athletic prowess plus scholastic
ability" Thev hold to the opinion that it is
an undue affliction of a hardship not to recog
nize their worth. It is merely "righting a
wrong" by recognition.
Now the Nebraskan does in no way
espouse the cause of athletic scholarships. But
the Nebraskan does want to bring to light
what other schools are doing in behalf of
their athletes. The Nebraskan merely desires
to show that agitation for interference in be
half of the athlete is not purely a local feel
ing. Athletes should at least be on a par with
other students. They should be given an op
portunity for a warm meal after their strenu
ous day "of training. As the case rests at pres
ent, gridmen can not get away from the prac
tice field until dusk, usually 6:30 o'clock. Ad
dition of a half-hour for shower and changing
clothes boosts the time of departure from the
stadium to 7 o'clock.
Many of these boys stay at fraternity
houses. It is not only inconvenient for them
t9 obtain their meals at such a late hour but
in many instances the fraternities have hardly
anything edible remaining. Cold lunches are
the most that can be expected.
t
Inasmuch as these boys devote llieir time
and energies for the university while on the
field, and inasmuch as such glory as they are
nble to earn is evidenced not only in favorable
publicity for the university but also in greater
cash receipts to the athletic department's enf
fers it would seem only fair that they be
treated accordingly. Maintenance of n tniinina
table, to serve ai least one meal a day only
on those days of practice, would eliminate
much of the diffieulty.
Still more desirable would be. coupled
with the training- tald, the administration of
the right care for the athlete. Proper diet
could be attained. Lack of spirit on the field
of play would not result because of improper
digestion, the natural culmination of eating
the wrong kind of foodstuffs.
If this program could be placed in opera
tion by Eie Six conference coaches, it would

Opposing Senators Seek
not only to cut down on the appropriations
but also to limit the discretionary powers of
the electrification officials, as senators fre
quently try to do with many departments.
Norris saved by a margin of only four votes
a provision to leave discretion with the elec
trification administration as to how much
should be spent annually for supplies, personal
ervices, automobiles, office equipment and
other items. The Nebraska senator also pro
posed to give the rural electrification officials
greater discretionary authority in apportion
ing the money among the states. Much op
position was apparent to his plan to eliminate
the 5 million dollar annual limitation on ex
penditures for investigation and atudies in
connect ion with administration of the bill by
allowing the administrator to spend such sums
ns shall be necessary, but this uniendment car
ried in spite of the opposition.
Rural Electrification
is another dream of Senator Norris that is
rapidly approaching reality in more ways
than the TV A project. His most, recent is a
bill before the senate, the general purpose of
which is to lend money to rural communities,
farm co-operatives and to farmers for gener
ating and distributing plants and electrical
equipment, thus financing delivery of power
where none is available from private sources.
Altho administration leaders have predicted
that ihe passage of the bill is practically as
surred, it has met bitter opposition, from sev
eral senators.
Russia Is Prepared
to fight Japan if necessary to prevent destruc
tion of the independence of its virtual political,
the Mongolian peoples' republic- outer Mon
golia, according to revelation made bv Josef
V. Stalin to Roy W. Howard of the Seripps
1 Inward newspapers in the course of a three
hour discussion on the relationship of the
soviet union to world events. This was the
first statement given by Stalin 6ince that to
H. Wells on Julv 23, 1935.
Meutral Observers Believe
that Japan is seeking to drive a wedge into
outer Mongolia by way of Manchouko, intend
ed to block off assistance for the soviet by
way of China proper in the event of war.
When asked during the interview if recent
events had developed any new Japanese ac
tivities in the region that the soviet would con
strue as aggressive, Stalin replied that the
Japanese have been concentrating their troops
on the frontier of the Mongolian republic, but
so far there have been no new attempts to cre
ate border incidents. He also thinks the soviet
union appears to believe that Germany and
Poland have aggressive designs against the
union and are planning military co-operation.
CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
Women Do Mot Affect
Employment Scene.
Men who look askance at the tides of
women going into the business world should
know that the percentage of males employed
has changed little in the last 50 years, accord
ing to a report of the National Industrial Con
ference Board released last weekend.
The percentage of employed males over
9 years of age was 78.7 percent in 1880; in 11)30
it was 76.2 percent. Such factors as increased
college enrollments would causes that slight
decrease.
On the other hand the proportion of em
ployed females of working age has increased
from 14.7 percent to 22 percent during the
same period. According to the report, increased
employment of women has been possible lie
cause new jobs have been created by tech
nological improvements (which, strangely,
have caused greater, instead of a lesser, de
mand for labor).
That women could have made such in
roads without noticabie harm is understand
able when we recognize that there is no "lump
of labor" to be done no set amount of work
to be distributed among workers; thus, in a
broad sense, men need not be deprived of the
jobs women get.
On the other hand, as long as human
wants are insatiable, the amount of work to be
done is unlimited. In a well-adjusted economy
the productive effort of previously unem
ployed persons should be welcomed, or it in
creases total productivity and the community's
ability to satisfy wants. When a woman starts
to work, the purchasing power she receives in
return helps direct the demand for labor; and
when she takes a newly-created job, as 1 he
report indicates women virtually have been
doing, her purchasing power makes a new and
additional demand for labor.
Whether it. is socially desirable to have
one-fourth of the nation's women in industry
is another question. But that she is not re
sponsible for unemployment is confirmed by
lliis research. Iowa Student.
Cutting
Class.
As we see it, tin-re is only one argument
for collegiate regulations against class eultinu :
That students are too immature to know how
they can most effectively absorb the material
of a course.
The student does not subscribe whole
heartedly to that viewpoint, but. even grantinw
that it had considerable validity, we would
nevertheless anticipate improvement in Iowa
State regulations if we were to pattern the
system used at Oklahoma A &. M.
At that institution juniors and seniors
who have a certain high average or better at
tend classes at their own option. Attendance
is compulsory only for the lower classes or
lower irrade brackets.
This plan offers quite an accurate mea
sure of ability to get course material. Since
our original argument for compulsory class
attendance is that students are childishly de
pendent should be compelled to attend, there
is no reason why those whose grades thus
show considerable ability to get course ma
terial should not be given unlimited cuts.
WTe do feel that Oklahoma A. & M. makes
a false assumption that freshman and sopho
mores are too immature for the concession.
There is daily proof that intellectual maturity
and independence do not depend on clsss
standing; many freshmen are better balanced
and more sensible than aeniors.
Accordingly, we advocate that all Iowa
State students who have a quality point aver
age of 3.0 or better this term be given the
privilege of optional class attendance spring
quarter. They will have proved themselves
mature enough to decide whether they can
use their time most profitably by going to
class or doing some other work.
If our honor roll were to b revised ade
quately, it would be honor roll students who
would be granted this privilege. Then there
would be some tangible inceutive for making
the roll. Iowa Student

Elizabeth K. Finch on back.
Snme of our "true blue Ameri
cans" npver seem to realize when
they are really well off. Instead
of supporting' and defending gooa
sound American principles that
have worked and still work, they
join one of the ever growing
groups of complainers who de
mand variovu changes in our form
of government.
A verv. verv tew of mem reauy
want what they advocate, most
would rertainlv recret it if the fire
that they are playing with ever
spread.
Within the past several years
we have witnessed the rise of va
rious swift spreading: "colored
shirt" movements in several Euro
pean countries. In some of these
countries they are not powerful
enough to gain control but have
sufficient strength to strongly op
pose any policy attempted by a
government which they oppose.
Many of us wonder whether de
mocracy can survive this power
ful tide. It is true that in our
present age there seem to be
backward movements in favor of
dictatorship and repression. But
on the other hand, are there any
positive facts showing that de
mocracy is doomed to extinction
because of its so-called failure to
adapt itself to modern times?
A change might be justified if j
the proponents of these plans had
anything really outstanding in the ,
way of beneficial results to point :
out along with their much pub
licized talk. This is by no means
the case our country, though not
without its troubles, is surely bet
ter off today than any of the
countries that are enjoying the
doubtful "benefits" of autocratic
government. On the whole Amer
icans are happier than the inhabi
tants of these "enlightened na
tions." j
Without doubt, reforms should
be brought about to remedy the
"accumulating signs of decay" in
our government these seem to
have been accumulating for a
pretty long time without fulfilling
j the mournful predictions of long
j dead statesmen, hut whether they
are dangerous or not the safest
step would be to eliminate them
lest they prove to be weak spots in
a time of stress.
There is plenty of room for im-
j provement but all improvements
I can be accomplished without any
i change in our form of government.
1 It is also possible to make great
i advances without any restriction
on personal liberty.
I The average American still
shows a healthy dislike for dicta
i torship and the type of govern
I nieni ensuing. Our traditional in
' stitutions unlike those of Europe
are democratic and therefore more
j likely to survive. A danger to
: these lien in the large cities, where
ugly conditions are likely to aiise.

experiments constitute another
: menace. -- i From the Tulane Hulla
