LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, I9.J7 HilCE FIVE CENTS And Sudtlon Dci'lli College Slylp Youth, sing the bards, intone the wise men, pen the sages youth dreads death. Life is sweet to the young; they love it fiercely, cherish it, cling to it, exult in It. But the bards and the wise men and the sages don't know from nothing youth gayly courts its own destruction. Destruction to the Ingenious children of today ts much more than simply pulling a gun on a religious dissenter or grabbing oneself some rat end-it-all. Pos sibilities for sudden death, with the maximum of thrill and deli cious agony to boot, are endless. Collegians stay up nights discov ering them, among other things. Peeping into the great beyond is called "playing" or "funning" or some other red herring name. But after life clubbying It all cer tninly is. Thru His Stomach. One of the most common forms of flirting with the future Is eat ing one's self to death. Obvious ly this doesn't mean the literal interpretation of the phrase used extensively by broken down ath letes. It entails the more subtle forni3 of countless wrong combi nations of foods, beverages and physical properties. For instance the waitress will inevitably look twice and hard if you order fish and milk on a dinner. Reams have been written on the effects of pickles and ice cream. One stout stom ached gent was supposed to have staggered a trifle after his sixth yumyum, with several malts on the side. Another toughie found an overgulping of "steak" produced purgatorial nightmares. And it's always good to eat heavily after a iong fast. And then thecr are the mechani cal means of concluding earthly affairs. One can rely on the stop sign law obedience of a brakcless Thi Psi flivver. Or one can ride with a speed loving gal who also enjoys animated conversation. One can try to follow a hell-bent companion vehicle in holiday traffic on a two lane highway. One attempt to pass a motorized artillery unit; from the way those trains stick together, it's all" or nothing for the tag-end-ers. Courting After Life. Then there are more definite ways of taking one's life into one's own hands. Some foolhardy souls hang around 1? hall in high winds, or cave inward the sides of the edi fice by trapeze acts, on the braces in the basement. Some people at tempt to stand in majestic dignity in riding boots on an icy day. Or there is the gentle indoor sport of pushing and pulling light switches. Our favorite means of wishing someone, into the nethernether land, tho. is recommending a ride on a loop-a-loop. The infernal con traption works on the same princi ple as over-and-overing in a swing. You're strapped into your scat in a little cabin, and the pendulum is set in motion. Each arc is wider than the last, and more approximating a circle. Time after time you pause. perpendicular to the ground, at the top of the circle. Suspended by your stomach strap and the jeers of your companion Ion you stand on your head for second fractional eons. Then you swoosh on over or return the sickening backward path to your former position. Such sport greens the rosiest checks, bugs out the deepest set eyes. Only death couldn't come quickly enough. Yes, this from a glider looprr But it's so exciting to contemplate being scared to death. When Ocorge Bernard Shaw grumbled that youth was much tn(( precious to be wasted on the young he must have known the reckless abandon of young people in search of blood coursing diversion. For them, death has no sting only stomach aches and cracked heads and skipping hearts. But stingless or not. let us at it -collegian sud den death.

Rallying through the main streets of the city, up sorority row and on to the coliseum Friday eve ning, students of the. university will herald the opening of a new football season and cheer the Corn huskcr team on in the Minnesota game. Starting at the Temple theater at 7:30 o'clock, the univer sity band, the Corn Cobs and Tas sels will lead the throng with stir ring music and flaming torches bound for a great bonfire north of the coliseum where the main rally will be held. After the rally has come to ai standstill around the blazing fire. ! the rallying crowd will hear short talks by Coach Biff Jones and the ! captain of the Minnesota game Johnny Howell. Members of the Innocents So ciety ask that students restrain their pep during the day that the night rally may receive the full benefit of their lusty voices and enthusiasm. To insure a large crowd at the pep gatherirg, Corn Cobs and Tas sels will make a speaking tour of all organized houses during the dinner hour Friday evening, and members of the rally committee ask that all hour dances be post poned until the rally is over Fri day evening. Little did Johnston Snipes, grad uate of the college of journalism last spring, realize that the round the world voyage which he finally negotiated would end somewhat successfully amid the zone of the undeclared war in China. Long before school had closed, Snipes was laying his plans for a journey into China, and then around the world, if The "if" did shappen. Shortly after he ar rived in Shanghai bombs began to fall and scenes became those of blood and horror. Altho many Am ericans evacuated the zone im mediately, the "newspaper man" in Johnston overtook him and he was determined to see the entire fracas to the finish. Belated Letter Tells Story. Graduating from the university in June, Snipes finally found a ride to the west coa.st. spent two months there attempting to get his passage, and finally sailed for China. He is the son of Dr. J. J. Snipes of Lincoln. He served as news editor of the Daily Nebraskan for some time. A letter written on Sept. 10 in Shanghai and received by his father here yesterday can relate more clearly how successful Snipes' trip has been. "The mails have been so irregu lar lately that I cannot tell when you will get this letter. However, 1 am going to try to send it off to morrow on the S. S. Biancamano to Hong Kong where it may catch the China Clipper. Bombs Cause Hysteria. For the present I am remaining here as it is very hard to get out and make any sort of desirable connections.

Chaloupka, anthropolo gists of Bridgeport, the rest of the skeleton will lie sent to the mu seum.
