Condolences U)
ihc Casting Director
The Xebraskiiu wishes to extend its heart
felt condolences to the casting director of
"First Lady." this season's initial effort of
the University Flayers. Hecnuse the Daily has
n limited emotional capacity, however, we 'must
limit our regrets in the Players' behalf to but
one of the many misfortunes they have suf
fered. IVcause we must curtail our feeling in the
Tlayers' direction to avoid a mawkish out
burst of sentiment, we cannot tender sympathy
fer vour trials in finding a prompter with suf
ficient stamina to last out in good form for a
vhoje play, nor do we cover the acting in our
condolence note because ours is incompetent
judgment in such mailers.
We reserve all of our consideration for
the casting director. This individual "s task
must be Herculean. The dearth of student
talent that necessitated the use of six per
sons not in university proper in the six best
parts in your first vehicle is a situation that
enlists our deepest concern for your wel
fare. W fed lhat we can appreciate vour con
sternation. Beleaguered Cast Chooser, at be

France, Britain
Backing Down
France's and Great Britain's
threat to open the Franco-Spanish
frontier fails to bring the de
manded removal of Italian troops.
Italy sends defiance, calls upon
the two nations to show their
hands. Last resort measures by
Britain and France give Italy a
"last chance" to agree to with
draw troops. British caution will
probably be sufficient to keep
France from undertaking any
drastic measures until every other
means has been exhausted.
Meanwhile, Belgium and Ger
many enter into a treaty of "amity
and non-aggression." By an iron
ical shuffle of international alli
ances, the nation which suffered
more destruction at the hands of
invading German forces than any
other country is now, 20 years
later, making treaties of friendship
with that country. The same shuf
fle finds Italy and its former allies.
France and Great Eritain, eyeing
each other antagonistically, while
Germany and Italy, erstwhile arch
enemies, have tentatively buried
the hatchet and show the begin
ning of a united front.
Ousting of Black
a Thin Hope r
Justice Black sits tight, and ef
forts of his opponents to oust him
prove to no avail. But in the de
cision of the supreme court Mon
day those opposing the appoint
ment find a probable way of chal
lenging his right to sit on the
bench.
Should a litigant be brought be
fore the court who has a "per
sonal interest" in the court's decis
ion, the whole subject of his eligi
bility might be reopened. Tie slow,
sborious process of bringing Influ
ence of constituents to bear on
senators seems a forlorn hope, and
opponents of Black will be looking
for a case upon which they can pin
the question of his eligibility.

bers of the party were from the
roology depBttment. Mr. Wade
nnd Mrs. Fichter also accompanied
the group.
Harpooning for porpoise, which
are in renllty small whales, occu
pied much of the time of Dr.
Wade and other members of the
party. About 300 feet of rope at
tached to the harpoon allow the
porpoise to tire Itself but may
creute complications when It be
comes entangled tn the ship's pro
peller, as several of the group
discovered on an extended ocean
trip.
"Order of the Gonles."
Scenery comparable to the fjord
regions of Norway is described by
Ashton Cuckler in relating the
story of a trip north into Alaskan
Waters. "On the research ship,
the Catalyst, the party of 14 with
Shuler and I among them, (.ailed on
the Inside Passage along the coast
of western Canada and southern
Alaska, The country Is beautiful,
with trees coming down to the
dge of the water." Once out at
sea, the 75 foot boat was tosr.ed
relentlessly by the waves, and from
time to time the call would come
that a gony had been sighted, that
someone had "hit the rail." Gon
les, it wns explained, are a kind of
alhatros which follows boats (as
did the albatros of the Ancient
Mariner's tale) and feeds upon con
tribution! offered by sea sick pas
sengers. First atUck of seasick
ness entitles one tn membership in
the ' Ancient ni Honorable Or
der of the Gony."
Beards curly ones, straight
ones, red, blonde, and black ones
are the prized exhibits of all who
tcturn from a trip to the north
country. Special mention goes to
the unusual modifications dis
played by Bob Shuler an exag
gerated growth of side-burns ex
tending to meet a beard and form
ing a continuous hairy growth
from ear to ear, all in all a rather
complicated affair.
Dine on Whalemeat.
High spot of the trip to Alaska
was a visit to one of the two
whaling stations on the west coast,
at Graham island in Naden harbor,
British Columbia. Three whales
brought in the evening before had
already been chopped up and the
party got in on "little but the
chopped pieces and the smell."
The long-standing reputation of
being the biggest eater on the is
land had been conceded to Dr.
wane Dy virtue of vears of pro-
nr hrhV I ' S"m'

appearance of Dr. Wade for half
days at a time aroused no alarm,
for, true to form, he would return
invariably with two or three buck
ets of clams, and a clam feed on
the beach would ensue.
Sea Cucumbers Repel.
Wierd and not always delectable
types of sea food were a part of
each day's bill of fare. Clams
and lobsters boiled in sea water
on the beach, codsh, flounder,
and fried pectin were consumed
in large numbers. But Just a little

like gigantic worms or cateiiil-1

bottom of the sound and exhibited
the consistency of rubber when 1

will probably always be remem
bered. On this occasion the group
saw the most spectacular view of
the northern lights which they had
ever seen. "A light appeared on
the horizon, grew larger, si fc
swung up into the sky in a gi
gantic Bemi-circle. The region all
about was as light as day."

We would not have you believe lhat. we
are so ignorant as to think that cajoling and
high pressuring these competent actors to lake
the principal parts in your production has been
your only master stroke. To make clear your

that even the now famed and popular Riff

We would save the Flayers from stock

It's nice to know that campus
politics have been cleaned up so
thoroly.
But -some things make you won
der about the degree of whiteness,
which they have attained. Today,
we went to the polls to exercise
our duty as a citizen of this uni
versity, and we spent about an
hour and a half talking to stu
dents and watching thm vote.
When we asked them why they
voted as they did, several things
came to our attention.
We realize it's jusu a coincidence,
but all those who preferred to re
main secure in their anonymity,
told us that they voted as the fac
tion told them to, and that they
didn't dare to use their names with
any such statement because the
faction might vent their anger on
the fraternity involved.
On the other hand, all those
whose names could be used, hand
ed out lofty phrases about the
personal qualifications which fit a
man for an office.
We're not trying to insinuate
that politics are still a deep shade
of tattle-tale gray you read this
mess and draw your own conclu
sions. We asked them "Why did you
vote the way you did?"
Jerry Milder, Bizad Junior:
"My vote for the junior presi
dent was cast for the fellow whom
I thought was a real leader, and a
capable man for the office. I voted
for the honorary colonel whom 1
thought had been kept out of some
other offices which she should
have had. gave my sweetheart bai
lot to the girl who did the best job
of campaigning that can be done
the use of an ever present smile
and greeting."
Anonymous, Bizad Junior:
"I've been helping fellows out to
vote all afternoon, and you spring
a dumb question like that! Hav
en't you ever been told that poli
tics on this campus are a matter
of factions? We vote as the faction
votes, or are left out in the cold.
Of course this will be anonymous
do you think I want the faction
to think our club is hacking out
on them? We string along with
a faction so that we may have
some hope of pushing one of our
men into an office one of these
years."
Jean Richardson, Bizad Freshman:
"I voted for the slate of the
party that has for the past six
years furnished the leaders on this
campus the progressive faction.
Voting with a faction helps the in
dividual fraternity to place their
men, and maintains a semblance
of political responsibility on the
campus.
Anonymous, Arts and Sciences
Junior:
"I make use of both ways that
is. I vote for a man both on a
basis of his political faction and
his personal qualifications. How-
ever, in all cases that I have ever
seen, the man qualified for the
office was the man endorsed by
r..y faction."
Bill Mowbray, Sophomore:
"I felt that the candidates for
whom I voted were the choice ones
on the campus, and the ones really
fitted for the jobs."
Anonymous, Bizad Sophomore:
"I will vote for anyone whose
name on the ballot is followed by
the name of my faction. Our po
litical faction is always right we
mlgh' not always place our man,
but we know that we have the
only ones qualified for the Job."
Thurston Phelps, Law College
Freshman:
"Voting for a person is a matter
of personal acquaintance and of
knowledge of the capabilities of the
individual."
Anonymous, Arts and Sciences
Freshman:
"I don't do any thinking-the
boys at the house do it for roe.
And above them are the men who
control the faction. I don't see how
I'm ever going to get any place."
Bill Kovsnda, Bizad Junior:
"I vote, paying no attention to
the party affiliations of the can
didate, for the fellows with whose
qualifications I am familiar."
Anonymous, Arts and Sciences
Senior:
"I voted the way the fnctlon
wanted me to. As long as a fra
ternity belongs to a certain fac
tion, and expects to be pulled up
ward by that fae'.lon, it's up to the
Individual members in that house
to support the faction. It's a sort
of a mutual betterment arrange
ment. As for the women, I voted as I
pleased."
Desn Pohlenz, Arts and Sciences
Freshman:
"1 vote for the fellow, whom I
feel is qualified for the office.
After all, an election is not sup
posed to be popularity contest."
Anonymous, Arts and Sciences
Freshman:
"I guessed. I didn't know any of
the girls, so I voted for the one
who looked the nicest in her pic
tures." PETERSON WRITES BOOK
Author Presents Colorful
Frontier Writer.
"Joaquin Miller, Literary Fron
tkrsman" Is the title of a new
book by Martin S, Peterson of the
English faculty. The publication
has been published by the Stanford
University Tress.
It it a narrative of one of the
country's most colorful frontier
personalities, an early American
writer whose style and rough and
ready characteristics furnish a
most interesting; story. Mr. Peter
son portrays Joaquin Miner in hit
true light and at the same time
gives the reader a critical ap
praisal of his contribution and Hia
tus as an American poet.
Today, in every country on earth, devel
opment, rather than discovery, has become Hie
byword in scientific endeavor. No longer arc
fundamental concepts altered from day to day.
even overthrown, by the shock of one momen
tous discovery after another. From those hec
tic decades when theories nnd inventions, the
electric ht, the gasoline engine, radio. X-ray,
radioactivity, appeared in bewildering succes
sion, the order of the day has chanped. We
live today in an era of intensive development,
of exhaustive research, of cropinsr. fumbling
attempts to make the most of those endow
ments which ignorance and greed have too
often violated.
As surely ns the scientist realizes his re
sponsibility and his obligation, the necessity
for his dedication to the service of the race,
so does he turn again 1o the earth as the source
of all material benefits. Fsendo-scientifie con
jecture has pictured the brilliant intellect of
the future ns dispensing with all the tedious
processes of nature, to substitute his own high
ly efficient methods, but the practical man,
with his practical problem, recognizes the sun
and the earth ns the master synthesizers and
choose co-operation as the more discreet
course. And his research makes the news.
Europe nnd Asia, world centers of con
gested population, now bend their efforts to
intensify production of food and raw mate

Russian technicians, after five years of experi

Italy, never lax where the possibility of
colonial expanMon is concerned, has under
taken Ihc large scale development of a ew
textile industry. A plant called "ramie " having-
fibers lonuer than those of cotton, stronger
than those of flax, has been cultivated for cen
turies by Asialic tribes, but it has never at
tained to commercial importance because of
difficulties in freeing its fibers ffom the stems
in which they grow. A new process diM-ovored
by Florentine experimenters uses a shredding
machine 1o loosen the strands, then exposes
them to Ihc action of certain niicro-orgauisms
which free them from the pithy stalks. In ad
dition to its qualilies of strength and durabil
ity, ramie has luster and beauty comparable
1o lhat of silk, so it is expected to com pel e
with established fabrics when it is manufac
tured in quantity.
Reclamation, too, is playing- a part in the
application of scientific principles 1o human
progress. At Columbia university, the fibrous
material remaining' after 1 ho extraction of
sugar cane juice is being tested as wallboard
filler. Compressed into panels four by twelve
feet and one inch 1 hick, the pithy residue is
sprayed with asphalt on one side, to prevenl
penetration of moisture, and with aluminum
on the other, to reflect heat. This material has
proven to be 2 percent stronger than the
sheathing commonly used in frame houses, and
has been aeecpled as a building1 material by the
building department, of New York City.
Reclamation also goes on , in 1he swamp
lands of the soulh, where fertile land is being
created by Ihc accumulation of silt and clay.
The cullivalion of mangrove bushes' is the
secret of this particular success. The bushes,
which have grown wild along Ihc Florida
const, are now planted in strategic positions,
Mhere 1he land building process is considered
desirable. The extensive root systems hold the
soil together and. upon decaying, form a peat
which aids still further in the valuable work.

declared indestructible by the action of the
