"Done in convention by the unani
mous consent of the states present the sev
enth day of September in the year of our
Lord one thousand seven hundred and
eighty-seven, and of the independence of
the United States of America the twelfth."
This piece of dignified prose can he found
in Article VII of the 1'niled Stales constitu
tion. It closes the passa-je oil ratification. To
day the country is observing the IfiOth anni
versary nf that ratification. A day has been
earmarked for the purpose of remeinbiiin1,'
and thinkinir about ihe fundamental law of
1'iie nation.
The aspect of today's nationwide discus
sion of the constitution which is of most im
portance to college students pertains to the iisc
of the document. That the constitution is 1""
years old is more likely lo sun-rest obsolescence
1o our jroncrntinn than solidity, elasticity, and
permanent usefulness. Meeause we buy ihe
new model ears only for their newness and
clianire our fashions without rime or reason
because of commercial strategy ami pressure,
wo are inclined to lie biased toward anything
as old as the const it uf ion. The demand lor a
si reamlined constitution has had support for
rears, and especially since the new deal's
clashes with the checkmates established by ihe
fathers.
Arguments for a complete revision and re
writins nf the constitution center around the
country's change from
cultural territory to a
lion. The luifjuy and
express and wireless
and submarines all emphasize the change. A
cost statistician at Washington brought it
home even more stronuly. lie calculated that
the money reiiireil to finance the constitu
tional convention for three weeks in 1787
would now support our jrovcrnnicnt for five
seconds. Proponents of a new constitution
chary o ihat the product of the Pith century
cannot be exported to satisfy our needs.
Ar'juments for retaininy the document as
little changed as possible reside in the depend
ability of a law that has served so 1 on jlt and so
well. And defenders of the old constitution
emphasize the undesirability of ehaiijrinj: 1he
basic law of the nation for temporary changes
in our economic and social order.
The compromise resulting from these
two vigorous schools of thought has been
to keep the constitution from becoming a
fytish whose only function is the blinding of
the people to the need for some change and
adaptability. The charting of an intelligent
course between the dangerous alternatives of
turbulence of the new and the stagnancy of
the old rests with us.
ThoiiLiht about unveriiinent in democracy
means tolerable government. Since the stale
is financinir I he lion's share of our education
not that we learn to make a living, not Ihat
ue aciuire the social "races not Ihat we have
a uwid time as well as keep out of a crowded
industry for a few more years, but in order
Ihat we become successful and intelligent citi
zens, ihe least we can do is to consider the
constitution seriously on Constitution day ami
as many other days as time permits.
Madrid Bombardment
Begins.
Big event of the crisis in Spain
Thursday was the opening of a
heavy bit un bombardment by na
tionalist forces, who for the first
time made inroads into the heart
of the city after continued hover
ins; on the outskirts. Still no ac
tion from Italy toward participa
tion in the piracy patrol.
Johnson Attack
Appointment.
Dramatically eloquent of the dis
cords which have disrupted demo
cratic pnrty harmony is the "fiery
attack" of Gen. Hugh S. Johnson.
In an address to the National
Hardwood association, Johnson
charped the administration with
dictatorial ambitions, called recent
appointments 'the naming of pup
pets" and "a march toward a onc
nian government."
Whether reply will be forth
coming from the administration on
this score will be seen tonight in
the Rooscvcltian address scheduled
as part of observance of the 150th
anniversary of the constitution.
With the defeat of the court revi
sion still rankling, opportunity
may be taken for retaliation
against former senatorial suppor
ters who failed to fall in line in re
cent court legislation. Definite
statement on the Black appoint
ment, also, should be forthcoming
in the face of continued publicity
on the issue and violent protests
pouring in from colored (J. I. O.
members of the South.
Following close upon the south
ern blocs revolt on the court ques
tion, this threatened opposition
from southern labor may consti
tute a definite blow to administra
tion support. Recent signing of
the sugar and price resale bills and
championship of farm and veteran
legislation seem to represent a des
perate play for support from new
sources since the forsaking of the
beaten path by traditional democrats.

We went lo the Coliseum the
other day to watch the Frosh go
by. The whole place was in an
uproar the noise from Nebraska's
Intellectual Bazaar. First impres
sion it's surprising how much the
Coliseum on registration day re
sembles a cafeteria or an old
fashioned bazaar. Intellectual
grub spread out on the various
tables, signs scattered about indi
cating the types of brain fodder
to be found at each counter, a
throng of eager new students
grabbing what looks good and
paying for it later.
We realize that tlv administra
tion of the University is doing all
in its power to make registration
simple, easy, and efficient. Wc
also realize, however, that the
system by which high school stu
dents are converted into college
freshmen is by no means perfect.
We would like to do our part
toward making it just a little
easier on the student. The first
step in making anything better is
the ascertaining of its faults. Wo
asked a group of freshmen the
nature of their greatest inconveni
ence while registering.
Curt Kalston, Bizad, Omaha:
"The thing I disliked the most
was the waiting in line for hours
and then finding out that the line
is not the right one for you. In
other words the instructions given
us were rather vague. Make the
directions specific and thorough."
Jeanne Martin, Teachers, Lincoln:
"Just waiting in line. I don't
suppose much can be done about
't, but it's inconvenient."
Howard Kriz, Ag, rBokrn Bow:

Mildred Freeman, Teachers, Lin
roln: "The long waiting in line. It

"Many English merchants feel
that some of these products are '
inferior to their own but such '
patronage is necessary to tie the i
empire more closely together," 1
Irving explained.
No English Democracy. j
There is no democracy in Eng
land in his opinion. The church
people, free masons, and aristoc
racy rule socially and politically.
Public service is a career. The '
leaders are high idealed and have
been trained since youth. Deba.tes ;
in the student union at Oxford j
were of the same kind and char-
acter as those he saw in Tai-Iia-
ment. i
While sightseeing in busses '
Irving learned of the intense loy- !
alty tif the English to the King
and country. Edward is still the
favorite and no one can take his
place of affection in their hearts.
"The most compelling sight I '
saw was the battlefield of Ypres, !
Irving said. "The Belgian govern- I
merit has preserved it as it act- j
ually was. There are still the I
bones, corpses and guns strewn
upon the battle field.
Fertile Battlefield. '
"If all the population of Europe
could be shown this sight, I think !
there would be a lot less willing
ness for war." wagered Irving.
"Men lived like animals in mud
trenches. Horrible, barbaric eon
ditions prevailed. One farmer told
me that a- year or two after the
war they had the best crops they
had ever had from the soil, richly 1
fertilized by human blood."
Italians were the most sympa
thetic, the most likeable of the
people with whom he came in
contact. This trait is particularly
apparent in the northern Italians
who possess beautiful faces and
forms.
II Duce Boosts Ego.
"Mussolini is changing this es
sential character from the sym
pathetic and beautiful to an nr
logitnt, heel kicking race. Musso

From intimate conversations he
