The poople"vho were influenced against onr entranee into the AVorltl Court by such forces ns Father Coup hi in and the Hearst, newspapers will not he pliable in the matter of making America a fellow worker instead of a parasite in the world community. Dr. Georpe Gallup "s Institute of Public Opinion poll two weeks ago further indicates that our citizens are burdened with a child's favoritism for the theory of isolation. JSixty nine percent of the voters preferred stricter neutrality laws to the discretion of the presi dent ns the best method of keeping out of war. Neutrality and isolation are related mi.s conceptions that can be erased only by educa tion. Wilson designed the machinery for in ternational cooperation and pointed the way for our active participation. His people would have no part in such progress for the world because they had not been pre pared by an adequate knowledge of the interdependence of all nations in the equa tion of foreign affairs. Roosevelt's attempts may be similarly stifled. Education in international problems is being carried forward on ninny fronts today by liberal organizations. Such education is a lone; time process. Two decades since our un informed and disgraceful rejection of Wilson on his return from Europe have not served to bring the people to his point of view. That point of view is Roosevelt s today. Pacifist Training Compulsory ternational questions. Dr. N, pood courses in international relations and organization at Nebraska. "With the sudden projection of the foreign melee into our notice by the Sino-Japanese squabble in our backyard, several universities have introduced new courses in foreign affairs. Small Hohart men's college has decided that pacificism shall be put on a par with military science by requiring a course in "The Horrors of "War" as pre requisite to a bachelor's degree. Syracuse university is also crusading in this field with a new course given by Professor Galpin on the history of peace movements. Striking a new note in a field ordinarily domi nated by generals and their wars, the course will trace the development and growth of peace movements from the classic Greek city states, through the 14th century publicity methods for the peace crusade, which are similar to modern methods. Colgate is offering a course in Dictator ships which will seek to discover and explain governmental origins. An attempt will be made to prove that dictatorships result from writings of leaders, that economic factors play a leading part, and that psychological post-war attitudes, backed by s militaristic policy, are factors in producing dictatorships. Education In Colleges Doesn't Take gent leaven into the great loaf, UNCLE SAM TAKES FEDERAL INTERNES FROM UNIVERSITY (Continued from Page 1.) colleges and universities, and, in ome Instance!, by the funds of the "internei" themselves. Next June, after their lntern ahips are completed, the students will return to college, enter pri vate industry, or, perhaps, be come attached to the pay roll as regular government employes. Internes Get Federal Jobs. The object of the institute's work is not to provide government Jobs for the internes, but to teach them practical facts of govern ment. However, if they prove their worth and "learn the busi ness," during their internships, the bureau chiefs, on the alert for able employes, may persuade the erstwhile "interne" to accept a permanent position. Last year the Institute sent 30 "Internes" into the government service and 16 of then remained to work regularly for Uncle Sam. The Institute of Public Affairs, supported by the Rockefeller foundation, each year selects hlRh ranking college students to come to Washington and learn by work and observation what makes the government go round and round. In addition to their government work, the "Internes" learn about the government by taking courses at American university's school of public affairs. These cpurses are offered the "Internes" free, while other American U. students pay the regular fees. The "in ternes" may also attend lectures at the department of ngrlculture graduate schools, at ten! sessions ltibllhed errry Tore riny, Wednesday, Thnrtiday, r'rlday and Mindny mnrnlnm of In academic rear ay atmlrnta of th I'nl vernlty of Nebraska, under the minrrvllon nt i he n,ard of rub. llcatlone. courses themselves which deal with immediate international problems are encouraging. Stu dent interest in the courses and their subject matter is negligible. There are ninny courses in social science curricula which offer meat for an intelligent attitude on foreign affairs if their facts are re lated to the present foreign situation. History always offers a perspective of the past that suggests among other things that the subject should be pursued to keep history from re peating itself. Economics is of vital importance to an understanding of the foolishness and futility of isolation. It offers a conception of the con-elation between international strife and the distribution of raw materials over the face of the earth. The barriers to interna tionalism offered by insane tariffs come under the scrutiny of economics. In fact, a knowledge of the international interweaving of economic interest is absolutely requisite to the people if they are to understand and support the President in h?s latest move. Finally, foreign languages serve indirectly to build up 1he necessary feeling of interna tional fellowship. They lend varmpth to such institutions as the court and League. Interest and effort in such courses as these alone with reading magazines, news papers, books and pamphlets would be an in telligent substitute for Nebraska's deplorable lack of all school forums, forum clubs, and other forms of discussion of the little matter of where the world is heading. "So Mr. ThroUlehottom At Northwestern. "Vice-president" in a business means, to most, "hollow laugh." "Vice-president" in a college, usually, means "forcotten man." But a vice-president who is neither laughable nor to be forgotten is Dr. Franklin B. Snyder, second executive at Northwestern university. Dr. Snyder, in addressing a convocation of 1700 freshmen recently set forth his concept that a university is primarily an idea, and the responsibility for framing that idea belongs to the students. He states: "If your idea of a university" pictures it as a continuation of high school, where you study 'lessons' and take part in 'recitation,' that is what the university will be to you. . . If you think of it as a collection of classrooms and laboratories where you spend all of your time and energy in study, denying to yourself the opportunities for developing aiiy phase of your personality except the intellectual, that main is what your university will be to you. . . If you think of it ns a training ground for athletes and cheer leaders, a series of lack luster days between contests in the stadium and gymnasium, that again it will be to you ami nothing more." What he felt the students' idea of the uni versity should bo Dr. Snyder summed up thus: "A. place of wider opportunities than you have hitherto enjoyed; of opportunities for work and play, for learning and questioning, for living with interesting peopV representing many parts of the world and many attitudes toward life. . .for enjoying starlight and sun shine and the beauty of the lake and music and art and other 'useless' things which, in the long run. prove most useful to all. . .for opening windows into your minds and for ex posing yourself to ideas."

A survey taken among 220 coeds at Oregon State college showed that the majority average above "C" spent less time studying and more time relaxing than the majority of those receiving lower grades.

(R&pJDAi&L S or V Merrill t J We heard that tho train to Mlz zou was not so full as yet, and after we'd asked 12 students about the jaunt thereto and found that not one of them was going, wc be gan to understand the reason. Just what do students thir.K of migrations? This one was rather a general question they could dash off on any tangent they lined. Leona Brant, Ag college fresh man: "They're swell if you have the money to go. "The members of the team say that a crowd of students helps them, if they can hear their yells; and if a lot go, they ought to be able to h ar them. "I don't think that they have much practical value, tho, it's just a nice way to spend a .week end." Louis Dillman, Arts and Sciences freshman: "Good idea they make the teanv feel that they have the backing of the school, and the school spirit is carried with the team. "Travel is always educating, but the purposti of these migrations is not that of education, It is amuse ment. Of course, one always learns something on a trip, but in this case you might have a hard time saying just what." Anonymous, Ag college junior: "These student specials are as sinine you go and get drunk and all you get is a headache for the following day, and the inability to do anything until the following Wednesday. "Put nic dewn as being entirely opposed to them. We'd be better off if the students went to games individually." Anne Ferguson, Graduate col lege: "They're fine. "They give a student a chance to see another student body, to contact the attitudes toward sports, studies, and education of tho.-.e in another nchool. "At Lawrence last year, the con trast in attitudes toward sports was very apparent there, hardly any student went to the game. "You meet students on other campuses, and there are a lot of social benefits you make n:any new friends." Dale Bell, Arts and Sciences freshman: "It's a good idea it shows that the students are supporting their team, and reflects the spirit of tne school. Of course, there are a lot of fellows who won't be able to afford the trips." "The only benefits I can see, beyond that of having a good time, are those of meeting people and seeing otner campuses. Luciie Thomas, Arts and Sciences freshman: "They create a liaison between two campuses. They get people in different colleges 'together theo retically, that's true; actually, it's not. Anyway, if a crowd of stu-' dents are following them, a team's spirit is bolstered up " Luena Minarik, Teachers fresh man: "I think it's nice to carry the school spirit along with the team." Leo Eisenttatt, Bizad junior: "1 m entirely in favor of them. They're an admirable expression of student support for a team. In a practical sense, viewing them from the angle of broadening an education, they do not have much value the prevailing atti tude is one of fun. They excellently perform their function that of en tertainment." Leonard Sokol, Arts and Sciences sophomore: "It a a good idea it shows the team that the spirit of the Uni versity is behind them." Lee tunberg, Arts and Sciences freshman! "Swell idea if you have the money. They are an accurate in dication of school spirit, and a way to have a good time for a week end." Anonymous, Teaches college Ju nior: "In one way they're foolish, and in another they add something to our school life- We are down here to get our school work and any thing which distracts our atten tion from them, is foolish. "On the other side of the ques tion students learn to get out of the Influence of their school, fra ternity, and sorority, and get along with people." Anonymous, Ag college junior: "I'm not exactly opposed to them I'd go in a minute if I was financially able. There is no great benefits to be gained you just become acquainted with the cam puses of other schools."

Campus Barbs, who attend the Barb party in the Armory Fri day night, will dance for three hours instead of only one as a result of a new social policy adopted by the Barb Interclub council, sponsor of tho party. Ac cording to Dean Worcester," coun cil member, the closing hour for the parties has been changed from 9 to 11:30 p. m, because of a desire manifested for longer dances. "Tho informal atmosphere of the hour dances which have been held previously will still prevail," Worcester said. Students are in vited to como with or without dates.
