What Ahout
Trying for Notre Dame?
Alan Gould, Associated Tress sports edi
tor, expressed a good thought when he in
quired in his column why Nebraska and Notre
Dame did not try to get together again on the
cridiron and expounded on what a "natural"
that game would he.
When relations were discontinued between
the Cornhuskers and the Fighting Irish some
years ago, no love was lost between the schools.
Their intense rivalry resulted in an intense
hatred. And Nebraska victories when Notre
Dame was rated the nation's finest on paper
added to the flame.
Now. however, there is a new generation
in each school. The battles fought in the 1920's
are part of the great tradition circulating on
this campus, something with which old timers
enchant the present day undergraduate. Those
games are enshrined in Nebraska's sports his
tory as part of the conquest of the storming
Cornhuskers.
.Many fans are shouting for a stronger
schedule, not a weaker one. They believe that
tougher opponents would draw more players to
Cornhuskcrland. To them, Notre Dame should
be a fit foe, if Nebraska can sign the Irish to a
contract. From a financial standpoint, the
game would be a sellout, and the national pres
tige of victory would be great.
There is color, anticipation, and thrill in
Ihe very thought of resumption of gridiron re
lations between Nebraska and Notre Dame.
The rivalry of other years seems to come to
life, and certainly no other game on the sched
ule could hold such a wholehearted appeal.
The nice part of it all is that Notre Dame
is in Nebraska's class. Her teams are not pre
ponderantly overbearing year after year she
has her trnod years and her poor ones, and her
type of football is a very human type. Notre
Dame players make mistakes as we do, and
they play excellent football, as we do.
Signing a team, especially a big time foot
ball team, is not a one-two-three matter. The
tact and skill of n state department are neces
sary even to open negotiations, and signing the
contract has all the aspects of signing a treaty
news cameramen and everything.
Notre Dame may not be willing to listen to
such a proposal. It may be a year or two. in
1he face of existing rivalries, before room ran
be made on the schedule of either school. But
at least, it is a cood thought and worth the ef
fort. If the Cornhusker athletic department
desires games which are attractive to the pub
lic, give the Scarlet an even chance at victory,
nnd provide the color of natural football rival
ries, Notre Dame is the team to sign.
c
Alan Gould's suggestion was in the form
of an inquiry. The Daily Nebraskan does not
Assume the authority to tell the athletic de
partment to go angling for Notre Dame. This
is all in the nature of a peaceful little sugges
tion, which we believe any student on the cam
pus would favor.

SCHOONER
Chinese Civil War,
as destructive as that, raging in Spain, ap
peared possible as the Chinese, dictator Chiang
was captured by a marshal of his own army.
The revolting army officer, Marshal Chang,
was in charge of 3,000 troops stationed in
North China for Ihe purpose of suppressing
the communists there. Apparently the com
munist doctrines crught their fancy and in
stead of repressing red activity, they encour
aged it.
Dictator Chiang, hearing of these commu
nist activities of his marshal, came to Shenshi
to investigate. Finding basis to the rumors
that Marshal Chang had been sympathetic to
the communists, Chiang decided to transfer 1he
marshal to the southern coastal region, far
from the evil Russian influence.
Marshal Chang, instead of peacefully car
rying out the dictator's orders, kidnaped him
and announced open revolt against the estab
lished Nanking government. He has officially
promised Chiang's son and Chiang's American
educated wife that the generalissimo will not
be harmed, but informed observers refused to
trust these promises.
The conflict has the possibility of making
China an oriental Spain. Both the communist
and fascist elements are present in large num
bers in China as in Spain. Already troops are
converging on Shenshi where the dictator is
held captive. Some reports say that fighting
has already broken out between Chang's com
munist sympathizers and the government
troops.
Japan Claims
that it has "absolute proof" that the revolt of
Marshal Chang was encouraged and backed by
the Russians. They claim the Russians were
seeking some kind of an excuse to further
their own ends in China.
Russia immediately flatly denied all con
nection with the Chinese rebellion and coun
tered with the charge that Chang is the tool
of the Japanese. They contend that the Japa
nese are trying to stir up trouble in China so
they will have an excuse to intervene and com
plete the dissection of China. Only time can
tell whether the Russians are backing Chang in
order to spread communism thru China, or
whether Chang is paid by the Japs to give
them an excuse to invade China.
1i
Though in Grave
danger of being overshadowed by a crisis in
China, fascist and communist forces in Spain
struggle on in a seeming deadlock. It is be
lieved that the fascists will give up their at
tempt to conquer Madrid by direct attack and
will try to starve out the loyalists. Madrid
claims that the fascists arc beaten unless they
receive further help from Germany and Italy.
France and Great Britain, apparently hav
ing faith in neither the league council nor the
non-intervention committee, are trying to se
cure the support of Portugal, Russia, Germany
and Italy in an attempt to secure a peaceful
settlement of the difficulties in Spain by a
popular election rather lhan by war. The
I'nited States lent its moral support thru Act
ing Secretary of State Moore but refused to
stir from its' "splendid" isolation in order to
lend active aid in promoting Spanish peace.
Writings of Gerry, Garcia,
Jacqueline Wright
Gain Fame.
Gleaned from the pages of Ne
braska's Prairie Schooner, three
literary works, a poem and two
stories have been reprinted re
centlv In well-known current mag
azines and collections of the
United States and England. "How
Beautiful on the Mountains," by
W. H. Gerry. "Don't Telegraph,"
bv Jaaueline Wright, and "A Rural
Politician" by E. Current Garcia
are the selections bringing me
university's literary magazine to
fame alongside of the top-ranking
publications of the nation.
W. H. Gerry's "How Beautiful
on the Mountain," which appeared
in the Schooner last spring edi
tion, has been used in Thomas
Moults "The Best Poems of 1936."
This anathology, considered the
most important of the year, was
published by the Jonathan Cape
press, London, England, and in
cludes in the same volume such
writers as Lord Dunsang, Robert
Frost, and Archibald Macleish.
Jaqueline Wright, who because
of her delightful and humorous
writings is regarded as an impor
tant Schooned "discovery," has
had her story "Don't Write Tele
graph" published in the December
numbers of both the "Fiction Pa
rade" and the "Golden Book." Be
sides this story which appeared in
the fall edition, Miss Wright has
had another writing reprinted in
the "Faction Parade," "Mr.
Stover's Pants," which appeared
last spring.
Of Miss Wright's tale, a Cali
fornia poet, Joseph Joel Keith,
who has appeared widely in verse
magazines says, " 'Don't write
Telegraph' has been praised very
highly here in Hollywood, and my
enthusiastic praise is added to
that of the others who admired
her story. Congratulations and
best wishes for the "Prairie
Schooner."
"A Rural Politician," by E. Cur
rent Garcia, instructor in English
at the University of Nebraska, is
to be reprinted in a coming issue
of the 'Digest and Review,' a well
known digest magazine. Mr. Gar
cia's sketch is in the current num
ber of the Schooner."

Presenting the outstan ding
Christmas season program or
many years, the University Choral
Union and assisting groups under
the conducting of Prof. Howard
Kirkpatrick sang the neauurui
music of Mendelssohn's "The Eli
jah," before a crowd which nearly
filled the coliseum Sunday after
noon. Featuring Herbert Gould, na
tionally known baritone and dean
of music at Drake university in
Des Moines, in the part of Elijah,
tnrln wnn onlv of the tvre
that Director Kirkpatrick could
produce.
One of the outstanding numbers
nt the entire rroeram was the
singing of "Hear ye Israel" by
Meribah Moore, soprano, ana
member of the faculty of the Uni
versity of Kansas school of music.
Mrs. Mary Polk Shockey of Lin
coln sang effectively in the alto
solos and Parvin Witte, also of
Lincoln, sang equally well in the
tenor parts.
Accompaniments with a reso
nance that was appropriate to the
stateliness of the music were
presented by the University sym
phony orchestra. A student trio
presented "Lift Thine Eyes," a
number familiar to most music
lovers.
The most impressive choral
nnmher was "Thanks Be To God,"
which concluded the first part of
the oratorio. "Baal, we cry to
Thee," also offered music of in
terest. The work was appropriately
closed with the grandeur of the
chorus, "Lord Our Creator."
Ahmit. 300 participated in the
program. About 175 members of
the Choral Union,' 75 members of
Mrs. Altinas Tullis' chorus of the
college of agriculture, and the
Greig male chorus and singers

Varsity to Show 'Comedie
Franchise' at 10 A. M.
Next Jan. 16.
The laily Nebraskan seems to he in dan
ger of losing its distribution quarters in Social
Sciences, if the fate handed out to the Awgwnn
is carried on to 1 h is department. Kvideutly,
some instructors think the distribution booths
attract students ami are an annoying nuisance.
As a matter of record, any investigation will
disclose that noise inakiiit; parties arc scat
tered all thru the main hall, and nut merely in
the vicinity of the Awuwun or Daily Nebras
kan booths, and that the people seekinc their
morning papers melt away rapidly when class
time draws near. It is impossible to prevent
students from congregating in the halls be
tween classes. Removal of the Daily Nebras
kan or Awpwan from the scene will not help
the situation.
"Une Soiree a la Comedie Fran
caise," French film, will be pre
sented at the Varsity Theater Jan.
16 at 10 a. m., the French depart
ment announced today. Miss Au
gusta Nelson, instructor in the
Romance Language department, is
in charge of the ticket sale.
"Comedie Francaise" is a troupe
of actors in Paris supported by
the government and is considered
the greatest group of French act
ors. The movie shows the troupe
in three of its phases.
Behind the scenes of "Comedie
Francaise" is shown in Part I.
Pictures of great actors, work of
theater, and a general acquaint
ance with back stage procedure ,
is seen in the first part. Tneie j
is also to be a commentary in
French on the life of Moliere, one
of the greatest of French play
wrights. In the second part of the movie
the troupe is shown presenting
"Precieuses Ridicules" written by
Moliere in 1659. This play is a I
satire ot f rencn society oi me
period.
"Les Deux Oouverts" or 'Table
for Two" by Sacha Geytry, con
temporary French playwright, wifi
be presented by the troupe in the
third part.
Dr. Lane W. Lancaster, profes
sor of political science at the uni
versity, announced prizes of $50,
$30, and $20 established by Dr.
Philip Sher of Omaha for the best
essays on the subject, "Racial and
Religious Tolerance." The contest
is open to undergraduate students
in the university and will be ad
ministered by a commitee com
posed of Dr. Lancaster, Dr. J. M.
Reinhardt. of the sociology staff,

Lutheran Students Hear
World Traveler Speak
At Yulctide Party.
Declaring that the Holy land is
an indisputable confirmation of
the events of the Bible, Dr. O. D.
Baltzly, lecturer nnd traveler,
talked to 50 Lutheran students,
Saturday evening at their annual
Christmas party at the Grace
Lutheran church.
Dr. Baltzly, who has studied and
traveled extensively in the Holy
land, has absolute confidence in
the reality of the places celebrated
there as beholding the greatest
moments in the life of Christ.
"The manger, the Garden of Geth
semane, the Mount of Olives, Cal
vary and the sepulchre are all
genuine because," he said, "since
the day Christ was boin, visited
the Garden, spoke on the Mount,
was crucified and lain in his tomb,
people have lived in those regions
and daily pointed out those spots."
Many travelers are disappointed
in the Holy land because they
do not find these memorable places
as they were originally, but in
stead they find the beautiful
Church of the Nativity on the spot
that once held the lowly manger
and other immense cathedrals on
Calvary and the sepulchre. Dr.
Baltzly, altho disappointed himself
at first, sees now that this is
the way in which Christians have
chosen to immortalize these places.

Metals Article
For the Camera
"The clumsy lid of the old cast
iron coal stove may offer an en
tirely original suggestion for Mi
lady's evening wrap," says Prof.
W. F. Weiland of the department
of mechanical engineering. In an
article which will appear in the
national photography magazine,
"The Came:," Prof. Weiland dis
cusses "Photomicrography as Ap
plied to Metals."
A more fitting title to this story
might be, "The Romance of Metals
as Seen Thru the Microscope," for
the life history of a metal is so
often written into its microstruc
ture. Savs Prof. Weiland. "The sub
ject has been approached from a
more or less popular angle, and
deals with the preparation of
metals for microscopic examina
tion and the photographic tech
nique involved. a nuniDer oi
actual photo micr o g r a p h s are
shown. The artist is interested in
the infinite variety of patterns re
vealed by metals. Why travel to
Egypt for ancient designs when
you can pick from a greater vari
ety in the local junk dealer's rub
bish heap?"
