Health officials have thought it safe to hold

The seven cases iu Lincoln do not consti
tute an epidemic. There is no cause for hys
teria. In the matter of such a disease caution
is never superfluous. To avoid all unnecessary
jatheriuys of students the university has can
celed its social functions and 1hose student af
fairs over which it has direct control. Co-oper-tioii
has hecti asked, and may well he civen. in
the matter of student functions. x

"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 United States constitu
tion. It closes the passage on ratification. To
day the country is observing the Lr)0th anni
versary of that ratification. A day has been
earmarked for the purpose of reniembeiin'.'
and thinking about the fundamental law of
the nation.
The nspeet of today's nationwide discus
sion of the constitution which is of most im
portance to collrye students pertains to the aue
of the document. That 1 he constitution is Toil
years old is more likely to sourest obsolescence
to our feneration than solidity, elasticity, and
permanent usefulness. Kecanse we buy the
new model cars only fur their newness and
ehamre our fashions without rime or reason
because of commercial strategy and pressure,
we are inclined to be biased toward anything
as old as the constitution. The demand for a
streamlined constitution has had support for
vcars. and especially since the new deal's
clashes with the checkmates established by the
fathers.
Arguments for a complete revision and re

would now support our government for five
seconds. Proponents of a new constitution
charge that the product of the Will century
cannot be expected to satisfy our needs.
Arguments for ret a mint: the document as
little chaniied as possible reside in the depend
ability of a law that has served so lonir and so
well. And defenders of the old constitution
emphasize the undcsirability of chanfrinc 1he
basic law of the nation for temporary changes
iu our economic, and social order.
The compromise resulting from these
two vigorous schools of thought has been
to keep the constitution from becoming a
fetish 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.

Johnson Attacks "Puppet""
Appointment?.
Dramatically eloquent of the dis
cords which have disrupted demo
cratic party harmony is the "fiery
attack" of Gen. Hugh S. Johnson.
In an address to the National
Hardwood association, Johnson
charged the administration with
dictatorial ambitions, called recent
appointments 'the naming of pop
pets" and "a march toward a one
man 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 C. 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 veto an
legislation seem to represent a des
perate play for support from new
sources since the forsaking of the
beaten path by traditional demo
crats. I'apuo Asks United States'
Aid in Sino-Jap Crisis.
The vicious circle of internation
al commerce relations, which in
every conflict draws in more than
the combatants, threatens to bring
the United States to a definite
stand on the Sino-Japanese ques
tion. Warnings to citizens to
evacuate and embargoes on war
! supplies have so far constituted the
j administration's policy in the mat
; ter. Yesterday's message from the
! League of Nations council, placing
the affair in the hands of a re
vised advisory committee and ask
ing the United States to take part
in its deliberation, calls for decisive
action or another instance of ad
ministration's skillful evasion.

In a tour through Kngland, Bel

the Duchy of Luxembourg, and
the Principality of Manasco, Irv-
inir found that he

STOR
We went to the Coliseum the
other day to watch the Krosh 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
fashiuncd bazaar. Intellectual
grub spread out on the various
tables, signs scattered about indi
cating the typos of brain fodder
to bo found at each counter, a
throng of eager new students
grabbing what looks good and
paying for it later.
We realize that the 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 t ... 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. We
asked a group of freshmen the
nature of their greatest inconvenn
once while registering.
Curt Ralston, Bi.ad, 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
it, but it's inconvenient."
Howard Kriz, Ag, rRnken Row:
"This deal about numbers they
asisgn you numbers and then herd
you in no particular order, and
get you all balled up. If num
bers must be assigned to each in
dividual, let them go through in
some semblance of order.".
Mildred Freeman, Teachers, Lin
coln: "The long waiting in line. It
look me nearly two days to com- !

allow the students coming from :
local high schools to register in !
the spring as do the upper class- '
men?"

"Many English merchants feel
that some of these products are
inferior to their own but such
patronage is necessary to tie the
empire more closely together,"
living explained.
No English Democracy.
There is no democracy in Eng
land in his opinion. The church
people, free masons, and aristoc
racy rule socially and politically.
Publi; service is a career. The
leadets are high idealed and have
been trained since youth. Debates
in the student union at Oxford
were of the same kind and char
acter as those he saw in Parlia
ment. While sightseeing in busses
Irving learned of the intense loy
alty of 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 wa the battlefield of Ypres,
Irving said. "The Belgian govern
ment has preserved it as it act
ually was. There are still the
bones, corpses and guns strewn
upon the battle field.
Fertile Battlefield.
"If all the population of Europe
rould be shown this sight, I think
there would be a lot less willing
ness for war." wagered Irvine.
"Men lived like animals In mud
trenches. Horrible, barbaric con
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
fertilized by human blood."
Italians were the most sympa
thetic, the most likeable (if the

contact. This trait is particularly
apparent in the northern Italians

"Mus.ilini is changing this es

ing noticed.
With a sanction of 97 percent of
the Italian people, in spite of the
abject poverty which prevails In
the small overpnpulated peninsula,
Mussolini is idolized by his people.
The Ethiopian conquest was im
mensely popular. The number (f
widows and young mourners is
amazing but this fact does not les
sen the faith of the people in the
richness of Ethiopia and its pos
sibilities for colonization.
"In France." remarked Mr.
Hill, "the liveliness and extent of
political discussion is most dis
tinctive. Everyone is interested in
polities."
Labor Trouble In France.
According to the graduate there
Is a feeling that labor in France
since it has a favorable govern
ment has gone too far in pushing
its advantage. Unauthorized
strikes and forced holidays worry
the people who fear that unless la

tralized government -perhaps dictatorship-will
rise to put labor
in Its place.
"Personally I don't believe It,"
Irving said. "The French have
too much love of freedom, too
much individualism, too much will
ingness to fight for the preserva
tion of political liberty."
From Intimate conversations he
learned that the French are
pleased with their close alliance
with England. Close cooperation
and enough courage in their for
eign policy will be strong enough
they think to check Italy and Ger

There is, however, one improve

be saved, and this rush for exams
would be done away with. Be
