On the Benefits
Of Letting Off Steam.
"Say you, why don't you run a letter
column in your sheet?" asked a shap fea
tured chap, who differed from all the other
kibitizers in that he looked as if he really
could run the paper himself.
"Got too many columns now. The
paper's lousy with them."
"Yeah, but you ought to give people a
chance to let off steam occasionally. Besides
you'd ?ct a lot of good ideas and criticism
from the stuff turned in."
"Oh, you mean a Student Pulse Column.
We have one already,"
"Where do you run it, in the overset? I
haven't seen it."
"Well, we have the column, but there
haven't been any contributions this year."
The man prefaced his comeback with
competently phrased blasphemy that makes
an art of this important phase of our
language. In part he said, "How the hell
do you expect to sell a product if you don't
let people know you have it?"
S'o matched the sluirp tongucd vitupera
tion of t ho slinrp featured clinp ns best, we
could, riddling our own .self respect, to a raw
ness for not h;iviiii' mentioned the Student
Pulse column to our readers. Against our
better judgment we admitted that we had
really forgotten to write the first letter our
selves and sign our sister's initials.
We have a Student, pulse column. We
velcmue contributions. Make them short, not
more than l.'O words. Growls and gripes about
the Xebraskan are expected and more times
than no), serve to effect the sweetening of
some sour spot.
There are more important topics, how
ever, The Union building is literally crying
for discussion. It's the students' building.
What kind of a manager do we want? How
about food prices in the new cafeteria? How
about a new plan for retiring the student
share of the bonds to displace the present
questionable scheme of charging one genera
tion of collegians $3 a semester for a build
ing. What type of books do we want placed
in the student reading room?
Another subject that might benefit from
the opinions of prospective editors is the kind
of professors that are most effective. Discus
sion is raging on other cam puses over the
comparative value of those teacher's who spend
their time stimulating students to think for
themselves and those who think their function
is to hand out facts in the "take 'cm or leave
Vni" vein. We have both kinds at Nebraska.
At any rate the Ncbraskan still has the
Student Pulse column. If you have time, drop
us rt line.
Letters From
A Couple of Old Fogies.
About two weeks ago the Nebraskan published
an editorial praising the efforts of Jackasses on the
campus. To keep Nebraska from the fate of ap
pearing as a respectable educational institution, we
called for more braying in the halls on the two or
three days preceding football games. We felt that
If the latter part of each week were filled with
noises peculiar to the horse hybrid specie's, there
would be no doubt in the mind of the public that
the serious pursuit of study was interfering with
the course of youth.
To show how necessary was our move to block
the sinister forces of seriousness from encroaching
upon the collegian we print these two letters.
To the Instructional and Administrative
Staffs and Students of the University:
Some of the faculty will recall' that we
bad considerable disturbance of classes in a
few of the buildings on Friday, October 1.
before the Minnesota game. In talking to
members of the Athletic Department I had it
intimated to me that, said Department was not
interested in such impromptu rallies and did
not believe they assisted the squad in any way.
As a result I wrote a letter to Major I;! MeC.
Jones, Director of Athletics, asking his opinion
on the matter. With his permission, 1 quote his
reply below.
T. J. THOMPSON,
Dean of Student Affairs.
Dear Dean Thompson :
In reply to your letter of October 1.1th, I
assure you this department and the squad feel
that the student, body should confine its en
thusiasm to the regular rallies and to the
panic-son Saturdays. Student enthusiasm is of
great importance to our loam, but we do not
believe that irregular rallies during the hours
when classes are usually in session help our
situation in any way.
The entire department recognizes the
fact that the primary purpose of the Uni
versity of Nebraska is educational, and any
disruption of academic schedules for any
purpose, is a hindrance to faculty and stu-.
dents. We are sure that the majority of
the students share this view.
ine awnenc department wishes to co
operate fully with the academic departments
in tneir program.
Sinccrelv,
L. M'C'jOXKS,
Director of Athletics.

France Uneasy.
Italy's move in calling for 50,
000 volunteers does little to ease
prevalent tension among Euro
pean nations. "Emergencies" to
French and British officials mean
no more nor less than further in
tervention in Spain. Mussolini's re
fusal of three power confabs, his
high handed take it or leave It
suggestions for settlement make
it clear that he intends to steer
his own course, and Britain and
France are free to sit open mouth
ed or do whatever they like about
it. So far they have acceded to
the "wishes" of the fascist dicta
tor. British caution preventing any
radical move by France. But the
call for ftO.000 volunteers is in the

nd Fiance is not in a parleying
mood. Should negotiations fail at
the non-intervention committee

unteers, with Great Britain pledg
ed to back her up.

congressional leaders not particu

cratic opponents of court revision
oppose any possible reopening of
Home points of legislation. Revival
of the reform program during the

Revolution. One lad. mixing, his
scientists, credited Darwin with
the authorship of the "Darwinian
theory of relativity."
Jonathan Swift, who wrote Gul
liver's Travels, was called "The
founder of the Swift meat pack
ing company," "an inventor," "a
Senator from Vermont," and "the
author of Robinson Crusoe."
G. B. Shaw Wins Auto Race.
Britain's playwright Bernard
Shaw, was called "one of the
greatest naturalists who ever
lived, now dead," and "winner of
the Indianapolis 500 mile stock car
race."
Labor Secretary Frances Ter
kina was called a radio star, a na
tionally known beauty expert, a
social reform work, and the sec
retary of agriculture. Likewise to
Actress Sarah Bernhardt was
given the title "woman suffragist.."
Explorer John Cabot was credit
ed with being "a movie actor,
alive." "leader of the Pilgrims in
1402" and "a signer of the Amer
ican constitution." Three people,
evidently reminded of Massachu
setts Cabot Lodge, Jr., called him
a senator.
"Cearface" Marconi.
Four students thought Composer
Richard Wagner was the con
gressman who engineered the
Wagner labor relations act. Others
railed him a scientist and a sports
writer.
Marconi was called a "gang
ster." Arturo Toscaninl a "poet
and Inventor." and Oliver Crom
well a "writer, poet, and movie
actor." David Windsor was rightly
tabbed "former king of England"
by one lad who added further: "He
advocated."
A lew missed the Identity of
Nebraska's own Senator George
Norris. labeling him Instead as an
American author, a polar explorer,
and a Pennsylvania railroad execu

One young miss, evidently tried
to have some fun at the expense
of the instructor. She called Fran
cisco Franco the predecessor of

Hitler in Hole of
father Protector?
Hitler's good-boy gestures of
friendship toward Belgium arouse
speculation among Interested na
tions. Her lining up on the side
of France and Great Britain In
pledging territorial integrity to
Belgium may be a sincere gesture
aimed at proving to President
Roosevelt that "International law
lessness" does not exist In Ger
many. Others see In It an attempt
to ease up affairs In western
Europe while she concentrates on
measures In other sectors.
SPIRITED RALLY

mittee members said other speak
ers may also be secured.

the two pep organizations for joint
sponsorship. The Corn Cobs who
are members of the carnival com
mittee will meet immediately with
a Tassels committee to make final
preparations for the gala affair.

setters. The book is intended for
college and university classes and
will serve as a guide for those who
are interested in an intensive in
troduction to the natural sciences.
Dr. Pool's book also furnishes a
foundation fo;- further work in the
various phases of botanical science.
When finished it will consift of
800 pages arranged in twenty-four
chapters and illustrated with 700
figures, many of them original and
unusual.
Everyone has suppressed desires,
so-called; but some people don't
suppress them. They're the things
you want to do on an impulse.
You may hang onto the Ideas for
years, but they're usually just lit
tle thoughts that have popped into
your head.
You get them from reading, lis
tening and seeing. If you, for ex
ample, have always wanted to go
to China, nine chances out of ten
you read diligently "The Chaser
Boys in Shanghai, or The Mystery
of the Revolving Door," or maybe
your Uncle Pete has been there
and used to come home and visit
you, or perhaps you've seen mo
tion pictures of life there.
Wouldn't you like to travel to
some foreign country? Even If you
wouldn t, most of those we talked
to today would. Cute little prac
tical jokes, like throwing bricks
thru glass windows and things,
ranked high. We asked them about
their suppressed desires.

"You know those people who go
along with that snooty, conceited
air, don't- you? Well, I'd like. to
