Circulation Manager ....Stanley Michael We Can But Plead. We Hope You Act. CCIIOOL is nlmost over. Seniors and others will soon be llinist into a cold, practical, and hiehly competitive world. You have heard that before. It is trite. You will no doubt bear it again. But for the sake of all the other living beings between Heaven and Hell, possess first that quality most necessary to humanity Liberalism. Open mindedness, after all. is about the only real test that one can apply to civilization. When such n test falls short then progress in the social sciences will never become an actuality, and it is thru the social sciences that men extract themselves from the drudgery of existence into the world of the livinp. Just recently Dr. Oorpe Gallup, Director American Institute of Public Opinion, polled the nation as to whether "Schools should teach the facts about 'Isms." lie found that for every Ihree Americans who vote yes. 1vo vote no. Of all the forty-eight states in the United States, Nebraska was one of the eight high in voting- no. Ts it indeed an honor to live in a state which espouses the cause of intolerntion more than most states of the Union? University students are soon to be come its citizens. It is up to them to try and redeem such narrowness of view. But the poll signifies more. AVhy does such a great number return a vote of no to the simple teaching of facts? "Why does this vast group refuse to admit what would ap pear n sane and rational progrnm? It is ex tremely difficult to understand their attitude. Virtually they are doing' that to which they are so staunchly opposed. They are creating a peculiar paradox. On the one hand they re fuse to admit teaching1 of the 'Isms' because of fear of facism, yet they are acting1 as i'acists by their very refusal. By resolving- that facism sball not be taught they literally an nounce themselves as facists. It is they who are to be condemned, not the liberals. It, is they who are curtailing- democracy; establishing- censorship and committing- the sin of breaking- one of the fundamental laws of our constitution, to which they profess so rigidly to adhere. High here in 1he state of Nebraska an example may be cited. "A Nebraska law t'orbiding- the teaching of any foreign lan guage to any child in school was invalidated by the United States supreme court on the ground that no state can deprive any person of liberty without due process of law." This paradox of the American people may be the cause of more future concern than we yet imagine. "When certain numbers can be converted to fear anything such as this, then the question Rrises as to whether they may not be thrown backwards into a state of facism by the same fear. When 1hey begin by desir ing to prevent the freedom of expression and the freedom of teaching facts 1hey may end with nothing short of rigid censorship. That objective for which they are so mightily striv ing can easily become the exact reason for its downfall. The conservatives, by their very fear, are becoming over-zealous; uncompromis ing and intolerant. Gladstone once Raid that "liberalism is trust of people tempered by prudence: con servatism, distrust of people tempered by fear." Such seems the case today. Those of you who go out into the world and aid in the fostering of intolerntion are but breeding greater martyrs to die for its antithesis. It is only hurting the people of the country when instructors are prevented from teaching facts. No manner of coercion can force the entrench ments of the human mind: compulsion never persuades it but only makes us hypocrites. To those of you who often refer back to George Washington as an example, we offer this quote on a case presented to him. "As every oath should bp a free act of the mind, founded upon Ihc conviction of the party of its propriety, 1 would not wish, in any in stance, that there should be the least degree of compulsion exercised, or to interpose my opinion in order to induce any to make it of whom it is required. The gentlemen, there foro, who sign such papers, will use their own discretion in the matter, and swear, or not swear, as their conscience and feelings dic tate." It has often been said that Washington was a wise as well as a great man. Vital is the necessity of this University in liberalizing its students before they contact the world. Equally vital is the necessity of the student to think for himself; act for himself and re member his position in relationships with oth er people. Fear and distrust will aid no man. Civilization cannot be founded on such false criteria. Dewey declared, "there is nothing to do with men' but to love them; to contemplate their virtues with admiration, their faults wilh pity and forbearance, and their injuries with forgiveness." NEWS PARADE By Ralph Woodruff ' we begin to announce ourselves soon and work like the dickens for the next year we shall be able to lick the stuffing out of them (the democratic and republican parties). There was just enough truth in this statement made by Dr. Townsend, old-age ppnsion advocate, that the representatives of these two parties decided to prevent any possibility of this by bringing the old doctor before an investigating com mittee and discrediting him in every way pos sible. All the economic ills of the country were to be solved by the scheme advanced by Dr. Francis E. Townsend several years ago. Every person above sixty was to be retired and receive a $200 a month pen sion. Thus he reasoned that unemployment would be solved by laking all the old folks out of industry and giving unemployed young people their jobs, money would be put in to circulation, and everybody would be made happy and prosperous. The 70-year old California doctor worked for several years on his plan with his chief lieutenant, Robert Clements. They have started a newspaper, the Townsend Weekly, and have claimed that they will succeed in passing their plan thru Congress in teh next few years. They have built up an immense following among the old people in the nation and the poorer classes generally. They secured too many followers for their own good, as Congress began to take notice of them, and then visualizing them selves as being replaced by some Townsendite in the full election, decided to prevent this by discrediting the Townsend forces in an in vestigation. The Town Hen d movement has geen a well-paying proposition to the California doctor who never averaged over $2,00 to $3,000 from his medical practice. Though the loetor denies ever having said that he started the movement with motives of "cold cash." he admits that the movement has received almost a million dollars from its supporters. Townsend claims that nearly all of this money was reinvested in the movement. However, in the letters to Clements, he admits that his idea has been a "profitable venture." Another fact clearly brought out by the committee is Hint the retired doctor is in no sense an economist and really understands very little how his plan would work. The committee forced an admission from him that 1he sales tax, which was to finance the venture, would bear much more heavily on the poor than on Hie rich. The Sudden rise to fame has turned the obscure doctor's head. From his correspondence it was found that he liked to have his picture shown along with those of Washington and Lincoln because he likes "that kind of company." The aged doctor also repeatedly affirms that his forces are going to sweep the election this fall. The doctor plans to start a third party movement after the republican and democratic conven tions and predicts that the Towsendites will luivfi ')ClC) frimida in Iho lirmsf bv npvf vpniv He admits that the senate will be a tougher job because the members are more independ ent and have lunger terms." The doctor ad- iniHofl mif.n ciivinrr tn tii 1 i en t en u nt itint "vrin and 1 have the world by the tail on a down hill pull." "Fraud by mean of the mail is the latest charge brought by the committee in their effort to destroy Townsend 's power over the masses. They charge that $11,000 was collected by the organization in an effort to "carry on lobbying." At the time the hurry call for funds was sent out, the lobby had been discontinued, so the committee charges fraud by mail. Townsend has denied any knowledge of this attempted fraud. In an effort to drag the Townsend or ganization into the mud. the committee claims that Edward J. Margett. California state man ager and national publicity director of the Townsend organization, was a notorious night, club operator and a one time whiskey hijacker, 15 or 16 years ago.

(Continued from Page 1). orclci to allow the small town rural secondary schools to offer Just as wide a range of subjects as the city schools do. Students In these schools have had to take practically the same course whether they aspired to be farm ers, college professors, or novel ists. This has not been the fault of the communities or Of the schools: they simply could not af ford to hire enough of a teaching staff to offer the variety of courses. The university extension divis ion haB the organization to make the courses available as soon as they are completed, and the school administration department of the teachers college, possess the tech nical knowledge needed for plan ning the instructional materials. At present the project group is attempting to complete a wide variety of worthwhile courses. Blighty courses have already been completed and are being used by the extension division. These courses cover instructions in art, commercial arts, English, eti quette, home economics, lang uages, mathematics, public speaK ing. science, and social science. In the field of agriculture a course Is nearly written in poultry judg ing, and others on practical and poultry farming and dairy produc tion have jupt been completed. In struction sets on the feeding of farm animals, diseases of farm animals, cereal grains and weeds of Nebraska will soon be com pleted. Offer Business Subjects. Practical courses are also being planned in salesmanship, business correspondence, and showcard writing. In the more academic subjects, courses are being pre pared in physiology, botany, field biology, astronomy, practical home chemistry and physics. A highly valuable group will soon be com pleted in music, literature, math ematics and guidance. Only persons specialized in their fields are called upon to write tne extension courses. Before the writer docs any actual writing on his course, he spends from two to four weeks familiarizing himself with the idea of the plan and in preparing a statement of objec tives of the course. He also studies carefully the literature on the subject and selects the very best available textbook on the sub ject. He then prepares an outline of the units to be treated in the course and submits it to the super visors for criticism. There are special supervisors for both the elementary and secondary courses, and one who keeps in touch with rural school conditions so as to pass upon th teachability of the course. As each section of the course is completed, it is typed and sub mitted to the supervisors and Eng lish critics who analyze its con tent and language. If changes are necessary, it is revised and re typed. Often It is necessary to re write the course several times be fore it will pass the painstaking scrutiny to which it is subjected, because the courses must be up-to-date. 125 Schools Use Courses. Approximately 125 schools are already using the extension courses for instruction. Courses released by Nebraska are being used in In stitutions thruout the country. North and South Dakota. Colo rado and Oklahoma employ them very extensively. Two tubercular hospitals in New York and Vir ginia send their test papers in cluded in the sets to the university extension division to be graded. SCHULTEMEN SEEK TITLE (Continued from Page 1). Cardwell of Nebraska, Waters of Missouri, and Pitts of Kansas get together. All three men have been Jumping around 24 feet. Last week against Kansas State, Cardwell look only one jump and recorded a first place jump at 24 feet 1-2 inch. Nebraska has little hope in the high jump. Kelley of Missouri, Nel son of Oklahoma, and Shannon of Kansas lead the field, all having cleared the bar at over six feet. Kelley has come within 3-8 inch of the record. Minsky of Iowa State, last year's javelin "winner, will be back and should win the event again. His best mark stands at 194 feet 11 inches. Dohrmann, Franks and Gliesbcrg are Coach Schulte's trio of javelin hurlcrs. Haight Over Hurdles. Hurdle races will be a deciding factor in the outcome of the Big Six meet.

Haight has come within one-fifth second of tying the lov hurdle record. Floyd Lochner, Oklahoma's great distance ace, looms as the choice in the two mile run. futnam of Iowa State set the record In 1930 at 9:30.0, a mark that isn't feared for. Lochner's best time for the two mile distance is 9:62.2, while Wheelock of Kansas State has been caught in 9:39.2, Altho Cunningham's record mile time of 4:14.3 Isn't in danger of being eclipsed, the event promises to be a close one. The loss of Bob West to the Husker roster means a bit of shifting around for the Husker runners. Bob Morris will be running either the half mile or the mile, Coach Schulte hadn't de cided Thursday. Wheelock holds the best time of the year in the mile at 4:24.1. Morris of Nebraska. Barrett of Oklahoma, and Dill and Eberhart of Kansas State are the tops In the half mile run. West held the best 880 time, but his loss means that some other Husker must try to fill his spiked shoes. A good deal of speculation has been going on in regard to the quarter mile run. Pankonin is the Cornhuskers' biggest man in the evest. Barrett of Oklahoma, indoor 440 champ, Nixon of Kansas State, Green of Kansas, Gee of Missouri, Stoufer and Brown, Iowa State, are, along with "Pank" some of the finest 440 men in the country, and the final hest of the 440 Sat urday will be one of the most thrilling races of the day. Barrett did it in .8.8 and Pank was clocked in 49 flat for the distance. "Speed Jacobsen, Coach Schulte's finest sprinter, is all primed to sprint his way into fame and glory in the century and fur long dashes. "Jake's" recent 9.6 seconds mark is the best of the season in the 100 yard dash, and his 21.5 seconds in the 220 yard dash is much faster than any other Big Six runner's mark. Cardwell is expected to come thru in the sprints also, as he has been threat ening "Jake's" supremacy in these events. The century dash starting area will be canvassed off at the meet in order to assure good starts. The presence of and thl talking of the spectators around the starting blocks greatly disturbs the high strung and usually nervous sprint ers. Memorial stadium's clnderpath has been undergoing grooming all week and it is expected to be in fine condition for Friday and Sat urday. With favorable weather conditions possible but not prob able, a large attendance is hoped for. Incldently, this annual con ference classic will serve at a trying ground for American ath letes who wish to qualify for th semi-finals of the tryouts for the U. S. Olympic team.
