De-Pantherize
The Husker Schedule.
Sunday's Daily Nebrn.skan carried a fea
ture account of the froinps-on on the Pitts
burgh bench during the recent Panther-Nebraska
game.
The Nebraskan '-stooges'' didn't attempt
to hide under old blankets or in any other
way disguise their identity from the Pitts
burgh players. They were a couple of college
kids out to get the low-down on why Pitts
burgh beats Nebraska year after year after
year.
What they heard should turn every ear
in Pittsburgh red, but, unfortunately, ears in
Pittsburgh don't turn red when the ethics of
the football team are under consideration.
All Pittsburgh cares about is that Jock Suth
erland keeps on turning out the winners, and
who cares how?
The Daily Nebraskan interested itself in
how," and the results of the ''bench" con
versation would lead us to the conclusion that
perhaps it would be for the best if Pittsburgh
wis dropped from the Nebraska schedule.
Jock Sutherland evidently lacks the ath
letic idealism which permeates Nebraska's
liana X. Bible. Unless Mr. Sutherland's
"little boys" were telling fairy tales, Mr.
Sutherland lacks any athletic idealism. His
job is to turn out winning football teams. He
loes his .iob very well, but at the expense of
all that is considered honorable and decent
practice in amateur athletics.
Mr. Sutherland probably doesn't employ
tactics which in some measure or other aren't
applied in other institutions, but those tactics,
no matter by whom employed, are so differ
ent from those of Nebraska that the Corn
buskers should not engage a team using them.
The meeting of Panther and Cornhusker
Is a battle of professional against amateur
football. Pittsburgh subsidizes with never a
pretense at camouflage of her purpose. Her
players receive scholarships, are on a training
fable all year lonif, practice football ten
months a year, and indulge in a summer's hard
training in a mountain camp. Sutherland
scouts comb the Pennsylvania coal fields for
strong young men who are capable of as-s-milatine
the technicalities of a football play.
These husky young men, who measure
strength by the number of baskets of cnal
they can carry, face Nebraska's Cornhuskers
duni'Mly.
Most f the Pittsburgh players admit that
football isn't so irnwh fun but it is more fun
than clrairiiinc (,oal bucket around in the
fields. Most of them haven't been to school
j-t. Evidently they get degrees for four
years of font lift 11.
W contend that Nebraska teams should
tint be subjected to playing professional teams.
We boast of our amateurism, and Dana Bible
is noted all through the land as the defender
of the old time faith in football. Yet he per
mits his team in play one that is antithetieal
to all that he believes. Where is the. logic in
this?
Nflniiska fa ns wait and wait, and wait
nuain for a victory. .Minnesota is human.
H-r foot hall tennis make mistakes sometimes.
Pitt's team makes some mistakes but they
nrt-ii't of the type that counls. Nebraska will
be recording victories over the Clophers years
l.ffore Pitt fulls by the wayside, if they con
tinue the prs nt m-thod of getting and hold
in' players.
The Daily Nebraskan recommends to the
Athletic Board, of Control, after that last foot
ball car, in which fit flew thicker than
grhopper during; the plague, that Pitts
burgh be drPPJ from the Nebraaka football
schedule an toon as he can be replaced bf a
team which resorta to clean, wholesome, ama
teur practices.

Finding
A Niche?.
To The Editor:
In a recent address before the state con
ference of the National Youth Administration
in Albany, New York, Mrs. Franklin D. Roose
velt showed a grasp of the problems of youth
which, though still uncommon, is becoming
more and more apparent in most members of
her generation.
The problem of finding a job is, of course,
vital. But it is equally important that the
individual find a job in which he feds so
cially useful and in which he will do his best
work.
Mrs. Roosevelt displayed her realization
of this fact when she said that she knew noth
ing sadder than a young person, at work or
unemployed, who did not know the purpose
and reason for his place in the community.
She continued, "No matter how young the
hoy or girl may be, each has a right to feel
himself or herself a constructive factor in the
community life.
The findintr of a job is not a panacea for
all the ills of the younger generation. A large
part of our recently graduated seniors find
themselves in such a treadmill job that they
have no conception of the part they play as
a cog in an important wheel. They cannot
realize that above them is unity as a group
and there is work to be done by this group.
Above all they do not realize that they are.
or could be, indispensable to that group. There
inndispensability must be in either one of two
categories; constructive or destructive.
It naturally follows that it is an individ
ual responsibility for one to acquaint himselt
with his place in the community. Find the
job you want. The one that will enlarge you
mentally and give you pleasure in its per
formance. Having once found your niche in
the business world then see to it that you find
vour second niche serving the community.
Robert Shellenberg.
Why Not a
Liberal Education?
Last month's issue of the Atlantic
Monthly contained a bit of verse by one Rob
ert Hillyer entitled "Letter 1o a Teacher of
Bnelish." Poor in the matter of poetic diction,
but rich in thought-provoking material, the
writing deplored education in the modern
sense. AVhat does a Th.D. mean, questioned
Mr. Hillyer. when those who receive it have
no more knowledge than an undigested mass
of facts and dates? Why do universities
honor those who have read few if any of the
world's great books, who favor a saxaphone
to the music of Brahms and Beethovan?
The poem revives an issue long before
American colleges. What can be done to in
still a bit of the worth of the world's great
intellects into the minds of college studenls?
How can a liberal education be best effected?
The answer, quibbled about for years, is
no nearer solution than it has ever been. It
seems to us, however, that a college student
claiming an A.B. or any degree, should have
had a little contact with the great thinkers
of other days. Rousseau. Locke. Shakespeare,
Dostoivsky, Plato, others who have survived
these many years as writers of ereat literature.
Surely the university could introduce re
quirements for graduation that include classes
dealing wilh the masters of earlier days. Jt
seems to indicate a definite lack in cultural
requirements to allow a student unfamiliar
with Thaekery except thru mention made of
him in a popular song, to craduate with hon
ors. Let's have a little LIBERAL education,
but not in the sense of wholesale decrees.

NEWS
PARADE
By Dale Martin.
A group of gloomy new deal prophets, led
by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, are pre
dicting a too rapid boom followed by another
major depression. Said Secretary Wallace:,
''I would like to suggest that when the next j
building bnom blows up, as it probably will j
some time in the 4J's. there will ensue a sit-
uation which in some respects will be more
difficult to meet than the depression of the
early 30's, if in the meantime serious efforts
to prevent it have not been taken."
The first predictions of collapse, though
never made public, were made by government
economists for 193. The time has now been
extended because the expected farm surplus
has not been forthcoming due to adverse
weather conditions.
Rythmically successive periods of Ihim
lioss activity and inactivity have been notice
able in the L'nited States since 1S2". From
that time until the turn of the century de
pressions occured about every ten years, the
cycles being broken only by the Civil War.
In the 20th century depressions have occurred
on an average of every seven years in '03.
'07, 14, '21. and '29.
The seven yean allotted to the present
cycle have been almost entirely consumed
in getting; started back to normal. It if
quite poiiible that another teven will see
the inception of a depression of doubly large
proportion! due to the 14 year acceleration
of businei.
From the Spanish war front : The mti
mated million persons still in Madrid are fac
ing starvation. Their homes shattered, many
women anil children are wandering about the
city, huddling in doorwaya, and crying for
food.
Lloyd 'a of London announced Friday
that odd are ten t one against war during
the next aix monthi between any two Euro
pean powers or between a European country
and Russia, Turkey or Japan.
"Practice in Dramatica," a text
written by Edwin Lyle Harden who
received hlg M. A. here in '27, was
recently presented to the public.
It waa designed to supply a need
which the author believes has been
felt by teachers of dramatics and
directors of dramatic clubs, as
well as by students In high school
or college dramatics.
Ten years' experience as a
teacher and director of dramatics
gives Mr. Harden authority to
present specific material for prac
tice in the fundamental principles
of dramatic production colleagues
point out. At present, he Is head
of the English and Speech depart
ment of the high achool at New
Braunfels, Texas.
"Practice In dramatics" contains
scenes from thirty-five plays by
such authors as Eugene O'Neill.
Zona Gale, Christopher Morley.
Richard Hughes, Robert Kasper,
Anton Chekov, Kenneth Sawyer
Goodman and other, as well as a
complete one act play for pro
duction. Each of these scenes illustrates
an important element of dramatic
production as pantomime, char
acterization, grouping, stage bal
ance, tempo, pause, climax, reac
tion and response, and atmosphere.
Classified and arranged to pre
sent a definite point, each unit of
the text is followed by a well se
lected list of references which
bear upon the particular dramatic
value under study.
Miss Jcston Dickey, M. Ed., di
rector of dramatics, Brackenridge
high school, San Antonio, Texas,
writes the woreward for Mr. Hard
en's book, says, "I can recommend j
this practice book for its terse,;
discerning, and comprehensive
treatment of the vital problems of i
dramatic production."
Florence H. Slack. Mope street
high school, Providence, R. I.,
comments on Mr. Harden's book
thus: " 'Practice In Dramatics'
presents in clear, simple language
the basic principles underlying
speech activities, with ample ex
ercise for classroom propects."

new ideas included in the consti
tution. Officers of the group were
elected at the Kansas meeting.
They are president, John Phillips,
Kansas university: vice-president,
Naphee of Oklahoma university;
and secretary-treasurer. Bob Tyler,
Colorado university. All schools
have equal voting privileges ex
cept in consideration of constitu
tional officers and financial poli
cies when it is to be determined
according to population. The plan
provides fur allowing one vote to
schools of 1,000 students or less,
two votes to school containing be
tween one and two thousand, and
three to those having over 3.000
students. There are only three
schools in the association with an
enrollment of over 3.000, Nebrska,
Minnesota and Colorado.
Co-operative plan for contract
ing nationally famous orchestras
had been organized as a subsidiary
body to the association. Purpose
of the plan is to fill long sought
after method of hiring well knpwn
bands at prices possible for uni
versity organizations to pay and to
induce interesting lecturers and
artists to appear at mid-western
schools.
To Create Agency.
Actual work contacting the :
orchestras will be in the hands of
an agent appointed by an execu- j
tive body to whom he is respond- i
ble. The agent will not necessar
ily be a student, in fai t, according
to LHndis. the organization's lead- i
ers had their eves trained on plac-
lng the work in the hands of a
large Kansas City agency. Be
sides contracting orchestras fori
the schools, the representative's
duty will be to notify all schools
of available orchestras during cer
tain periods.
To be operated as a non-profit
making jfroup, a nmall commission !
will be patd to the agent to cover i
cost of correspondence and other '
routine work. The amount of the
commission to be collected on each
orchestra will be set by the execu- 1
tive body and not by the agent.
Progressive Move. j
"In mv opinion this association j
of schools and co-operative system
for hiring orchestras are the two
most progressive and far seeing
steps that the council has taken,
or even proposed," declared Lan
dis. "This orchestra plan includes
the good factors of the system in
use at Iowa State university,
which has proved so successful,
and includes added features which
should make It even more effec
tive and economical for members
of the group."
Genevieve Bennett, chairman of
the Big Six conference committee
and one of the delegates to the
Kansas meetiriK. submitted a gen
eral report of the proceedings In
Lawrence. Miss Bennett announced
that delegates attended every pos
sible discussion and that although
most of them were quite general,
any helpful suggestions received
would be passed on to the respec
tive committees. She offered a
special paper compiled for the
benefit of the student union build-

davs.
the first of these incidents
which could start a general con
flict was the reported conviction
and forthcoming execution of a
German spy in Russia.
The unfortunate nazi was E. I.
Strickling. mining engineer for
the soviet.. He and eight others
have confessed sabotage of Rus
sian coal mines which resulted in
the deat'i of 14 Russian miners.
. The Russians are convinced that
the explosion in the mines which
caused the death of the workers
was due to a conspiracy of the
nazies and Leon Trotzky, exiled
commuinst leader. They charge
that this plot is only part of a
deep laid plot of the nazls to
ripple Russian Industry. A score
of others, including 17 Germans,
are yet to be tried.
Strickling It reported to have
confessed fully to the conspir
acy and to have Implicated the
German government In hli con
fession. He said during the trial
"I have concealed nothing....
. .and I have showed who led
me down the road." The person
referred to in his confession was
presumably the German consul.
He was found guilty of direct
connection with the "secret
service of one foreign state."
It Is Believed
that Hitler would Immediately
break off diplomatic connections
with Russia if Strickling were ex
ecuted. Relations between Russia
and Germany are already strained
to the breaking point because of
the conflict in Spain and because
of secret treaties which have been
formed between Italy, Germany
and Japan against Russia. It
seems unlikely, however, or at
least, unreasonable that Germany
would go to any great lengths to
protect a man who has betrayed
his country in confessing his own
guilt.
The Second Storm Signal
hoisted in Europe was the an
nouncement by the rebels in Spain
that they intend to blockade Bar
celona, supposed to be the port
thru which the loyalists have been
receiving aid from the Russians
and from other sources.
The loyalists charge that it Is
not the rebels who are going to
blockade Barcelona, it it the
Italian and German navies.
There are several Indication!
that the German and Italian
navlet will lend "unofficial aid"
to the fatcittt in Spain. In the
first place, the rebel navy in
itself would be entirely Inca
pable of making the blockade
effective. There are only eight
vessels in the rebel navy while
there are 18 in the loyalist navy.
It would be foolish for the rebels
to anounce a blockade under
these conditions unless they ex
pected outside aid.
In the second place, at the same
time Paris newspapers were pub
lishing rumors that the Italians
were to lend aid, American cor
respondents in Italy received t.ie
same report. These reports, from
two different sources, Indicated
the same thing that Italy in
tends to send submarines and
planes to aid the rebels in their
blockade.
In the third place, to confirm
all these rumors, the Spanish
loyalist fleet reported that it was
attacked by submarines of a for
eign nation. A British destroyer
standing by confirmed reports
that a Spanish cruiser was dam
aged in a series of mysterious ex
plosions. If the cruiser was ac
tually attacked by a submarine,
it was attacked by an Italian or
German submarine, since the fas
cists in Spain have no undersea
craft.
In tie fourth place, Italy does
not deny these rumors. Italy re
fused to confirm or deny the ru
mors but added that it was pre
pared to take drastic measurea
to prevent soviet aid from reach
ing the loyalists and to prevent
establishment of a red republic In
Spain.
Britain, France and the
United Stales
have announced that they do not
intend to allow unrestricted block
ade of Barcelona. Britain has an
nounced that they intend to pro
tect their merchant marine witn
their navy. If the Italian navy is
aiding the loyalists and should
happen to sink a British ship or
a Russian supply ship, the stage
would be set for another war.
