the Temple for a week's run,
greeted by an enthusiastic crowd
clapping- the chorus into encores.
The plot, written by Chauncey
Barney, started action when Jep

forced to dope Southern Exposure,

part taken by Bochm, into losing
the race and" the hero into losing
a lot of money with which he had
counted on keeping up the oh!
plantation. The situation looked
bad, but Mammy, known on the
campus as Bill Flax, came to the
rescue by producing- money which
she had won by betting- on the
other horse.
Thus there came about a happy
ending- and Larry was able to
marry Caroline, the neighbor girl,
played by Strong. All this afford

Dr. Patlerson Says Religion
Should Challenge Students
Philosophy Professor in April Alumnus Describe
Functions of Church on Campus
Of a University.
"Tlie proper function of religion in the life of a university
or college student is that of finding a purpose? in life which is
great enough to challenge the noblest and best that is in hiin,"
is the manner in which Dr. C. II. Patterson, assistant professor
of philosophy describes the functions of religion on the campus
of a university in an article pun-"
lished in the Nebraska Alumnus
for this month.
Dr. Patterson's discussion opens
with a picture of the busy age in
which young people, as well as
older persons, find themselves.
"Quiet evenings at home are al
most a thing of the past," the
writer asserts, "in many a circle
today young people have come to
feel that evening with nothing to
to do is almost equivalent to social
ostracism."
Students Rush Through Day.
The day of a student presents
another scene of one grand rush,
according to Dr. Patterson, and

"Where in a program that is so

asks. Explaining that the purpose
of an education is to become a
well educated man or woman. Dr.
Patterson declares that religious
activities should lie inside of the
main objective of university life.
"A vital religious experience is
something that stands at the cen
ter of one s life and finds its chief
expression in the major thing that
he is doing. Thus the chief effect

Austrian Sees Education as
Chief Defense Against
Totalitarianism.
Declaring that education I'm
democracy is the only feasible
defense against ever threaten
ing totalitarian forces, Dr. Wal
ler M. Kotselmig, learned Aus
trian lecturer, pleaded wit li
American educators 1o nssunio
:i lending role in the preserva
tion of our western civilization
before a capacity crowd in Iho
Temple theater, Monday morning.
In opening his address the
youthful foreigner joked, "I shull
endeavor to avoid generalities in
this address for generalities nro
the very prerogatives of European
dictators, and I should do poorly
to aspire to such an end." "Tho
very essence of the totalitarian
principles is the subjection of the
individual to the will of the group,
or politically speaking, to the will
of the state," he continued.
Dictatorial State.
And then, striving to be fair In
the portrayal of the dictatorial
state, the speaker in his rustic
Austrian brogue hastened to show
that there was more to the regime
than the negation of individual
privileges and rights. Far from
leeling restricted the people of
Germany and Italy feel liberated,
he explained, for the dictators havo
set up a code of ideals toward
which they may aspire and by
working for these ideals they feel
free from the pressing problems of
the day.
In Italy, Mussolini desires the
restoration of the old Roman em
pire. Dr. Kotschnig explained. He
is constantly driven by the idea
that former Italian possessions
should again become Italian. Italy
today is able to marshal all her
forces and economic resources for
one reason only and that is for the
restoration of these long lost terri
tories. Hitler Is Biologistic.
"If Mussolini is a geographer in
tent upon resurrecting the old
Roman empii-e, then Hitler is a
biologist wMse whole thinking is
determined by the idea of race."
continued the lecturer. The maint
enance of a pure race is the es
sence of national socialism in the
same manner in which the attain
ment of greater territory resources
is the backbone of a fascistic set
up. Under the present setup in Ger
many an individual cannot hold
land unless he can prove to the sat
isfaction of the authorities of the
state that there has been no Jewish
blood in his family since, Jan. 1,
1800, he explained and then con
tinued in Germany it is "not the
brain that thinks but the blood."
and unless one is a pure German
"he can be of no help to the
state."
"If race is understood then also
the internal and foreign policy of
the nazi state is understood." de
clared the speaker. The propelling
force in Germany is to eliminate
all foreign elements from the state,
and to establish an empire of so
cially and racially pure inhabi
tants, he stated.
Ideas Are Dangerous.
These ideas and ideals of the two
"all-powerfuls" of European poli
tics and affairs are dangerous for
they can be attained only by the
exercising of military force, he
warned. It is now the purpose of
the totalitarian leaders to prepare
the younger generation for the at
tainment of the desired ends, and
since it is obvious that the use of
force can be the only realization
