Reports from the flood zone early Wednesday morning arc encouraging; Cario reports that the city is reasonably safe in spite of a high wind that is pounding menancing waters on the levee. Death's zero hour is nearly over, but not for the Red Cross. For when flood waters have receded, their battle has only begun. Disease, epidemics, and the sufferings of one million homeless Americans are the evils which this organization must combat with a courageous spirit that inspires every Xe braskan to throw backing to the cause. Nebraska students can help. The Red Cross has authorized the student newspaper to receive vol untary contributions from individuals or student organizations, with the hope that fraternities and sororities will lend support to the fight for lives. But Red Cross officials make it clear that con tributions be voluntary. There must be no race to "keep with the Jonses." They appreciate a quarter that is sacrificed more than ten dollars for publicity 'Six Drawers of Discarded Yellow Papers Ed Hillyor. editor of the University of Washing ton Daily, cleaned out his desk the other day and found: "Six drawers of discarded yellow papers, pamphlets, books, and reports, all of them blurred with the smeared notes of one-time ideas." They constituted what college editors call "tombstones," or traditional editorials that are printed in the first and last issues of the paper, bull sessions. ROTC, growing enrollment, trees on the campus, and the traditional editorial on traditional editorials. Today we honor the greatest traditional Ne braskan editorials the inaugural masterpiece. Often the same in context, each editor has care fully added his personal interpretation to the tombstone" filed in the Rag office desk. But it is these excerpts showing personal variations that are interesting; here they are for ten years back: William Cejnar 1927. College is a great place for the development of the mind. This development implies occasional charges of Opinion. The editor of the college paper, no less than other students who browse around in the university's store of knowledge, is likely to change his mind. Oscar Norling 1928. Whenever a new editor begins Jus initial at tirpts at interpreting news and campus opinion, there are several who expect a more or less radical cJppfrture in editorial policy. . .Far be it. then, for the present one to attempt in a single semester to radically change that which has been steadily built up during the past 27 years. He merely picks up the reins and drives on. Cliff Sandahl 1929. There are a number of things which the Ne branskan thinks should be improved. Yet we re frain from mentioning them here and rather take the attitude of developing the ideas during the course of the semester. It is our belief that before paying tribute, or contrarily, "panning" anything or anyone, a thorough investigation of the facts should be undertaken. Elmont Waite 1930. We may not be able to summarize any ac complishments, but by jingo we can at least string enough words together, resonantly, to make a nice noise, call it "declaration of purpose." "statement of policy," or what you will. We are not subsidized by any organization or f person. Nor are we bound by obligations to any ! student group or groups. We shall print what we j think, and we hope you like it. Bill McCleery 1931. j Whether the new editor roars like a lion or , biays like an ass, he will receive countless messages ! of disapproval. . .Hoping that it may Inject some ! sentiment and pride into a student body which j verges dangerously cn dormancy, the Nebraska!! bows unceremoniously from the stage. j Art Wolf 1932. Contrary to the usual belief, the paper has no quarrel with the administration, rather, it seeks j to aid that department as much as possible and j seeks to aid it not only by active boosting, but by presenting criticism where criticism is merited. Phil Brownell 1933. Everybody likes to watch a good scrap, partic ularly if the onlookers are in no danger of becoin- j ing embroiled. . .We protest against the attitude that we should subordinate whatever better judg- j ment we may have to the tastes of the readers for something entertaining or, radical. j Burton Marvin 1934. Since the paper is a permanent institution, each of its staffs must work for the best interest of the university, and in many cases the editors encounter difficulty in using foresight instead of momentary j prejudices in writing editorials during the semester. I Jack Fischer 1935. j The Nebraskan will seek to be critii al. but not j in a destructive sense; if improvement cannot r J suggested together with criticism, the editorial j tongue will be held. j Irwin Ryan 1936 Probably one of the most apparently useless and yet quite customary tasks of a newly inaugurated editor is to propound principles and matter of j policy to be followed during the semester. Today j the Nebraskan, beginning a new regime with a new staff, takes issue with time honored custom's demand that a statement of policy should be set ' forth by refusing to yield to its dictates. QojnisimpjoJwiM QommsmL Lippmann Become 'Economic IJojali-r To the Prejudiced Aiii-jr.g the incidental develop ments of the presidential campaign vhni after effects still linger is the defection of Mr. Welter Lipp mann from the ranks of the lib erals. Dark, stygian gloom was the atmosphere in liberal camps after Mr. Lippmar.n stated th rasor.s why he was going to vote for Landon. Mr. Lippmann.. said the liberal sadly, had sold out. He had commuted the unpardonable political sin of changing his mind and for that reason should be re legat'J to the ashcaris of political thinkers. Whn inrri thir.k as we would like them to think, they are truly liberal. They are "outpost of opinion on a troubled political hori zon." Th'-y are the ',nnld!-rs of public opinion." They are "keenly Intelligent students of the com plex order of society." They are the "bulward of intelligent free ilu.u of thought and of action." IJut when men began to thii.k as we would not have them think Then they become "economic royalists." "outposts of fascism. " "enemies of social progress." They become hlinj to the r.eed of ihar.ge;" they become ' harcj head ed conservatives whose mental processes cease to be mental." We are not so much concerned with the nature of Mr. Lippmajyi's mental processes as with the mental processes of those who criticise him in the manner which we have, indicated. We fiij It hrd to llieve tht Mr. Lippmann it now in the throes of the Mr. Hyde side of i Stevenson's famous one man j combination. The Intellect of the Walter Lippmann of "Public Opinion" is the intellect of the I Walter Lippmann of the New i York Herald-Tribune. Mr. Lipp ' mann's change of mind is bet ter Justified than that of his i critics; he has arrived at his con- elusion thru logical reasoning j they at theirs thru their own I bigotry. Vocational Training For What Ails Labor From the Oklahoma Daily. By Louise LeBarre. The demand for workers and the supply of workers just doesn't add up right in the present em ployment situation. There are some &. 000.000 unemployed, and lit the same time a great many business and industrial concerns r.r crying for qualified men to fill positions. Maladjustments and cotifuMion, resulting from improper training or no training at all, is partially , responsible for this condition. Most of thette unfilled positions 'ate for mea and women who are , skilled in work ia which the hands are used. For too long, far too many people have had the wrong conception of what education is supposed to do for An individual. ; Too many graduates leave schools ejecting to step into executive , positions. ' i Too many frown upon work ! that must b done with the" lands. A change in the educational system in which more emphasis Is placed on vocational training would do much to aid the em ployment oroblem in future year. This sort of training can do more than any other thing to adjust the individual to the practical problems of everyday i life. It can be made to dignify all types of work, whether done ' with the head or the hands. There would be far less confu-' sion and widespread unrest if I more people were taught to do 1 the kind of work they were best fitted to do, and there would be far more happy and far fewer dis appointed human beings I And more than that, perhaps I the inconsistency in supply and ' j demand for workers would make ! the employment problem Jefs of a problem.

The eye of the nation is focused on a small city built where the Ohio and Mississippi rivers meet, Cairo, 111., as 6.000 men strive to hold raging flood waters behind the city's only defense from in undation, a seawall recently re inforced with sandbags. Once a not very prominent but busy little river town, Cairo to day is flashed in streamer head lines from coast to coast, as the grasping flood waters which seek her and which have already laid waste the whole of the fertile up per Ohio river valley bring her into prominence. Fighting bravely the fate which has overtaken other river towns and cities over a 1,000 mile long floodway, Cairo has become a last battleground of man's fight against the ele ments. She is still holding out, despite the threat of a river which on three sides is flow ing at a level higher than her rooftops, a river which at any moment might break thru the retaining walls with its added barricade of sandbags and sweep the city, like a modern Atlantis, to its doom. Six thousand men still patrol the seawall, believing their might can match that of the mighty rivers' on rampage. They fight the river and pray and believe, a spirit exemplified by one levee fighter who said: "After such a fight, fate will not permit a catastrophe." Tuesday, and if myth is to be the cnteiion. Xebraskans will dig in for another six weeks of cold weather. Popular as Mr. Ground hog may be with home-remedy prophets, we still would like to meet the fellow who saw a groundhog come out of his bur row, become frightened at his own shadow, and scoot back in with the resulting cold snap. Or are we just too scientifically cynical ? Speaking of science, a bill was introduced in the Nebraska unicameral legislature yester day labeled an euthanasia nice word, that bill. It was intro duced by John H. Comstock, cum laude graduate of the uni versity law school, and provided for msrey deaths. Any adult suffer, ng from an incurable and painful disease might apply for "a merciful death" under the terms" of the bill, with district judges in the role of referee, their fuction being the appoint ment cf two doctors and a lawyer as a committee of in vestigation and recommenda tion in the case. It will Vie interesting to watch the progress of this bill thru the new one-house. There is bound to be opposition from all sides, and only a few hardy souls in ap proval. Arguments against are plentiful, but fall back eventually on the spiritual, rro-arguers at tack the problem from the angle of science. The ancient contro versy lrMir-.ved. with every pros pect of fine debate in Nebraska s own state house. It's just our idle hunch that the bill will die in com mittee, or if it is ever brought to vote, will be relegated to the causes lost.
