No Amazons
For This Campus
Dr. William Moullon finds very
little popular support on this cinii
pus for his Associated Tress fea
tured theory that 1,01)0 years from
now women will rule the nation.
College women say that they
wouldn't, college men say they
couldn't. Dr. Mnrston feels' that
women ean but don't want to
yet will be driven to ruling by a
desire for love.
The '
noted psychologist'' finds ,
women possessed ol 'twice uii
emotional development, the ability
for love that man has. Thus wom
en are driven to loneliness or
naughtiness."
"Today, realizing that their
love motive has no sustaining
force, nothing to feed on in
fact .they're just out of luck as
far as men are concerned wom
en are diverting their energies
into other channels. And as they
develop as much ability for
worldly successes as they al
ready have ability for love, they
will clearly come to rule busi
ness and the nation and the
world."
Amazonic Theories Frequent.
This sort of speculation, leading
to a rare of Amazons who hold
the world by the tail, is nut -nw.
Periodically some scientist of soi ls,
or popular thinker, breaks into a
rash about the alleged evidence of
a crowing female dominance of
the world, and the sub:
lent de
generation of the hapless males.
The question seems to evolve into
ft consideration of whether the
countless seeming differences of
temperament and ability be! ween
men and women are real or
imaged.
The general opinion on the
subject seems to be that there
are fundamental inequalities of
the sexes. A young matron pre
fers it that way. "I still like he
men," she maintains. "I don't
want to rule; men arc meant to
be the dominant sex." But a
worldly young man asserts,
"Women won't ever be in power
any more than they are now
They rule everything already."
There's a Reason.
Another lad's realism casts a not
too rosy glow on the traditionally
weaker sex. "Just because women
are better emotionally developed,"
he argues, "that is 'no indication
that their reasoning ability is ar
good as men. Superior reasoning
power is the basis of the success
of the greatest leaders of history.
"And furthermore." he adds,
ton says, don't want to rule, they
won't. On the other hand, if
women want something, they'll
get it in the end, it's no use to
oppose them. As it is now, men
run things and the women run
the men."
Women Rulers Would be Ruled.
A serious minded young thinu
at first thought that the idea of
women holding full sway over
things held much promise. Later
she amended that it was 'much
more fun to rule thru the men
than to have to go to "r hot hi r of
doing it thrniM'lves." To which a
shrewd collegian replied, "If the
women were in power, the men
would rule the women."
Some playful consi(ier?t.on of
the place of men in society by a
favorite faculty member brought
unexpected elevation to the low
ly male. "In all the forms of
lower life," states t tie profcsr.or,
"malfs are very unimportant,
even non-existent. As we go up
the biological scale, the males
became increasingly important,
until, at the top of the scale,
We come to man. If we continue
Into the realm of the after-life,
it it safe to guess that heaven
it predominantly male."
Equality the Answer.
In h more serious vein, however,
the fn'-ultv member would admit
of no deep-lying difference be

Butler Protests Nebraskan
Version of Views on ROTC
Editor Points Out General's
Letter Based on Journal,
Not Nebraskan Story.
Editor, Daily Nebraskan,
Lincoln, Neb.
Dear Sir:
On Nov. 1 there appeared in
your paper an article entitled
"Smedley Butler and Colonel Oury
name names and ore not .speaking:
Fur flies amid much blue smoke."
I do not know what Colonel
Oury said about me, but I do know
what I said about Colonel Oury.
Your reporter met me at the
railroad station and told me nmong
other things that Colonel Oury did
not like me. He asked me if I
knew Colonel Oury and I said I
did not. I said nothing more about
the colonel, and his paragraph
quoting me in substance is made
up out of whole cloth, as there is
not one word of truth in it, if
quoted as coming from me.
Will you be good enough to pub
lish this letter, giving as much
publicity to it as you did to the
original article quoting, or rather
misquoting, me.
Very truly vours,
SMEDLEY D. BUILcR.
Because the article which moti
vated this letter has been respon
sible for a great deal of mis
understanding, and some unneces
sary incrimination of the Daily
Nebraskan, a statement of the
facts in the case is required. The
article appeared not on Nov. 1 as
stated in the above letter, but on

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, IK 1 1) AY, NOVEMBER 12. 1937
Oct. 31. It appeared in the Lin
coln Journal as reprinted from the
Nebraskan on Nov. 1. The Jour
nal also changed the headline from
"Protecting Somebody's Goddam
Oil Wells, Not National Defense
Object of R. O. T. C, Says S. D.
Butler," to "Smedley Butler and
Colonel Oury Name Names and
Are Not Speaking; Fur Flies Amid
Much Blue Smoke."
General Butler's letter leads one
to believe that he never saw the
article in the Nebraskan to which
he objected. The story contains
no quotation from Butler concern
ing Colonel Oury or calling him
names. The only paragraph to
which Butler's reference could
possibly apply Is one that the fiery
army critic is not likely to want
retracted. The paragraph, in
answer to a query as to what he
thought of the R. O. T. C. as it
appeared in the Oct. 31 issue,
reads as follows:
In substance he (Butler) said:
"Sure they don't like me, and
there's a plenty good reason
why. Heaven for most army
officers couldn't be a bit better
than a nice soft assignment to
a cadet military training unit.
Do away with compulsory train
ing and you've got no students
taking drill. Do away with the
students and you don't need any
officers. They can't teach you
guys how to fight when they
only work on you once a week
for four semesters. These inno
cent baby face soldiers. God
help us!"

according to Patricia Lahiv man
aging editor for the publication
Nine hundred and sixty pictures
have been taken where 1,018 had
been taken at the same time last
year, and it is expected that over
2,600 will be taken. .
"With the deadline coming Nov
30, this means that the studio will
be swamped with sittings the last
few weeks," Miss Lahr stated. "It
may also result in many failing to
get their pictures in the yearbook
who really intended to have them.
If arranged for early enough, how
ever, students can get appoint
ments without delay."
Seniors Behind Schedule.
Of the pictures taken so far,
123 have been taken for the sen

Johnston Snipes, graduate of 37

United Press war correspondent,
witnessed yesterday the death of
Pembroke Stephens, war corre

Telegraph, and was himself under
fire from Japanese guns. Chinese
troops, in complete rout, were flee
ing all along the Shanghai front.
Remnants of the "suicide squad"
left on the outskirts of the city,
were driven along the south side
of the French concession in a
"death trap."
Snipes, stationed with Stcpnens
and several otheis on the roof ot a

watched a depleted squad of Chi
nese soldiers holding off the Jap
anese. Japanese file was turned

the heavy rain of shots from Jap
anese guns, Chinese were brought,
disarmed, inside the concession.
Stephens's death followed, it
was reported, after the ISntlsh
correspondent attempted to signal
by waving that they were neu

mistaken as a signal to the Chi
