It Can't
Happen Here
The hypocrisy of some college administrators
in their lip service to democratic ideals was prob
ably one condition that prompted S-inclair Lewis to
utter "It Can't Happen Here" with his tongue in
his cheek. When St comes to practical application
of the political dogma which they so vociferously
espouse, they, too, put their tongues in their cheeks
and grind democracy into the ground with hob
nailed boots.
Not long ago. the Daily Nebraskan chronicled a
fight for freedom of speech in its column "The Col
lege Press." Briefly, the facts in the case centered
around the bulletin board notice posted by officials
in Northwestern'? naval training school. All stu
dents m the course, the pronunciamento read, were
prohibited under penalty from attending the round
tables of the Northwestern chapter of the Amer
ican Student Vr.ion on the grounds that the dis
cussions were "communistic."
The Daily Northwestern reported the facts,
protested editorially. The rest of the fight was one
sided; the naval officials refused to answer the

When everything was still.
I thought I saw the V. S. courts

I saw a foreman then approach

"They must be strictly fresh..

I did not a ere u-jth the last.
For a fish that age. all alone,

To be able to stand on its own.
A show marquee then caught
my eye.

Oliver Cromwell was supposed to have been
some sort of dictator, yet he had a charmingly an

their proteges will become "communist" agitators
not with the indoctrination they receive in the
basic courses of that department.
But the Northwestern faculty and student body
or any other group of citizens may well have
tears wften the freedom of the press is curbed for
special interests. Dictators will not tolerate a free
press, and a democracy should not tolerate dictatorship.

pfVm Wlf on Uie success
pf Nebraska's "experiment," the
seventh district representative
feels that the first assembly has
proved very successful on the
whole.
"From the outset I favored the
unicameral plan." Senator Tvrdik
stated. "One of the most important
points that I have noticed in our
new bodv is that party politics
have only been noticeable about
three times."
But the Omaha senator does
have a suggestion which he
would like to present before the
committee concerning the rules
of procedure. As a student of
government, Senator Tvrdik be
lieves in hard and serious work
thru the entire session. He criti
cizes the procedure of the mem
bers of the assembly during the
ending hours of the day's meet.
"Between the hours of 11 and
12. a time when some very im
portant legislation comes before
the house, the members are more
concerned with adjournment
than they are with legislation."
the senator maintained. "During
this hour there are generally im
portant amendments or bill fin
ishing before the assembly and
it is seldom over half of the
members vote."
Senator Charles Tvrdik agrees
with most all the other senators
we have been interviewing in the
belief that social security, of which
the gas tax bill was a part, and
the labor problem were the most
pieces of legislation coming before
this session. Concerning the uni

CADET OFFICERS BEGIN
REGIMENT INSPECTION
R. 0. T. C. Units to Compete
For Honors. Within
Companies.
Inspection by the cadet officers
of the companies of the R. O. T. C.
regiment will be resumed today
with the reappearance or good
drill weather. The practice, started
last fall, was discontinued during
the winter months.
Instead of the different branches
of service competing with each
other, the Inspection results will
determine the best units within
each branch. That is, this spring
the artillery will not compete with
the engineer battalion and the in
fantry battalions as was done last
fall. Companies will be ranked
within their respective units.
The reason for this separation
is that no suitable means of evalu
ating the batteries of the artillery
in comparison with the engineers
and the Infantry. Much of the in
spection of the Infantry and the
engineers is based upon the man-
aul of rms, while in the field ar
tillery, the rating must be collec
tive and is based on gun drill in
stead.
The following basis will be used
for the Inspection of Infantry and
engineer companies: Attendance,
30 percent; appearance and uni
form, SO percent; attitude and
bearing, 10 percent: manual, 10
percent; conduct of officers, 10
percent; school of. the soldier.
school of the platoon and school
of the company, 20 percent Field
artillery units will be graded in
this manner: Attendance, SO per
cent; appearance and uniform, 25
percent: attitude and bearing, ia
percent; conduct of officers, 10
percent and drill 20 percent
Maj. R. G. Barkalow. assistant
professor of military science and
tactics, pointed out that the new
system for the field artillery may
be an Important factor in the de

tery this spring. A trophy will be

DIRECTORS of the Platte Val
ley project in southwestern Ne
braska have demanded a probe of
the second break in the siphon
section of the canal system. They
don't believe that there has been
any faulty construction in the
immense siphon, but suspect that
the break was brought by "some
unnatural force that could well
have been the unlawful and crim
inal act of some human agency."
This isn't entirely strange to
Platte Valley residents who are
acquainted with the whole
hearted resentment that some
farmers put up to the project.
During the preliminary construc
tion surveyors and engineers
were run off one farm at the
point of a shotgun by some
rugged individualists who didn't
"cotton to" these new fangled
irrigation and power projects.
ADMINISTRATION senators,
Minton of Indiana and Schwellen
bach of Washington, loosened a
verbal blast upon the power over
fundamental economic and social
legislation that now reposes "upon
the vacillating judgment and hu
man frailty of a single judge."
Senator Minton's words were in
tended for Associate Justice Rob
erts who reputedly holds too much
power, as evidenced by the court's
reversal on the minimum wage
law Issue. "The power of Mus
solini" was the way that Senator
Schwellenbach termed it
Senator Minton went on to
tell the senate that Chief Jus
tice Hughes hasn't forgotten the
many lessons he learned in the
political arena, citing the letter
filled with "facts, fiction ana
dictum" that the jurist trans
mitted thru Senator Wheeler to
the senate judiciary committee.
Meanwhile while the committee
heard the Pundit Dorothy Thomp
sond and Prof. Edwin Eorchard of
Yale law school assail the court
