THE DAILY NEBRASKAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1938.
-That There May Be
Freedom of Speech
Only the other day these columns carried
the plea that Nebraska students endeavor to
make the Daily Nebraskan what it was in
tended to be, namely, a student newspaper.
Yesterday reverberations of that plea appeared
in the form of a disgusted student expostulat
ing, "If you want this to be a student news
paper, why don't you provide some place in
which we can express student opinions in the
manner of a student?"
Our answer to this challenge comes with
the statement that this semester, as in past
semesters, the Daily Nebraskan will again
maintain a student pulse column. Devoted
to the interests of freedom of expression and
revelation of student opinion thru the chan
, nels of the news columns, the pulse will wel
come comment on any question affecting
campus interest. So the rest of the work is
up to you, student commentators.
A new policy along the line of campus
opinion columns will be introduced this semes
ter in the form of a faculty forum. Based on
the same idea as the student pulse, the forum
will be devoted to comment on campus events
from the faculty viewpoint. Recognizing the
fact that faculty members play their parts in
campus life, the column has been installed as a
regular feature of the campus publication. The
remaining action rests with you, faculty
members.
Congratulations Barbs
For the first time in a number of years,
barb women participating in extracurricular
activities have received official recognition.
Yesterday afternoon approximately 20 barb
women were awarded recognition pins for hav
ing earned 50 or more activity points during
the semester.
The thing that is notable about the rec
ognition service is not the fact that barb
women are participating in campus activi
ties, nor the fact that they are being recog

The little business free-for-all

while the whole assembly stands

hears cries of "adjournment" and
rouses himself to put thru the mo

to put over an Impressive list of

nized for doing so. The factor which is
commendable is that barb women are at last
making progress toward an organized group
so that they are to perform feats similar to
the organized Greek houses on the campus.
It has been the custom of organized Greek
houses for some time to encourage some of
their more ambitious members to take part in
the activity whirl, but it was not until yester
day that barb women displayed the first" tangi
ble advancement toward a similar type of
support.
Participation in extracurricular activities
is profitable as long as it does not become an
obsession and lend to overshadow the scholas
tic side of college life. Thus, barb women are
to be complimented for encouraging participa
tion m activities to a certain degree, but they
are to be commended still more for promoting
and displaying an organized spirit among barb
campus.
Insurance
against everything from mil
lion dollar tires to $10 chicken thefts is a part
of man's earthly security today, and now stu
dents at Providence. R. 1., have come across
with another insurance measure. This time it's
protection against the ever lurking college
"flunk."
According to an article in Time magazine
for Jan. 31, the new system was inaugurated
by a group of business minded seniors who
banded together in the interest of a new kind
of academic security. "These students." the
article states, "formed the Students Protec
tive Insurance company and will begin next
semester insuring undergraduates against scho
lastic failure. Premiums will range from 50
cents for freshmen to 35 cents for seniors. For
the student who fails, the company will pay
college makeup examination fees $2 for the
first try, $5 for the next two."
The article closes with the statement,
"The company will give policy holders tips on
how to pass." It would seem that tho latter
part of the plan might be most beneficial to
both students and the insurance company's
pocketbook.

board. They went on to state that
Professor Schnper with 13 years
service In the university had been
culled to trial with no copy of the
accusations, with no specific
charges that mlfiht have been con
sidered by the faculty committee
and was never confronted by his
accusers. He was not given suf

gage counsel and meet the special
charge of being pro-German. He
was dismissed at the beginning of
a school term for which he was
paid only one month's salary. The
board concluded that the dis

The university granted Schaper

COME WITH ME,
LETS HAVE TEA
If you want the most pleasing,
tickling, moving and laughing
sensation that you have ever had
in your life, let me invite you to a
modest, quiet little party next
Wednesday afternoon. You can
come In the clothes you wear every
day, there will be no charge at
the door, and I promise you one
of the most lamentable hours that
you have ever spent. This will
not bo just an ordinary party. You
will see your friends, your activ-ity-mirrded
friends, at this group
session. And you can just sit,
watch, and listen just as you did
when you saw the Marx brothers
the last time.
Come, bring your friends and
see the "so-called" student repre
sentativesthose representatives
that you voted for because they
were your friends, because they
were good looking, or because you
were threatened with five boards
or a black mark If you did not
cast your ballot perform. Your
knowledge of parliamentary pro
cedure can be enlightened if you're
a senior. Your forecasts for the
future Mortar Boards and Inno
cents can be substantiated, if you
are a junior. Your knowledge and
acquaintance with the "big shots"
can be enhanced, if you can see
those people you have heard and
read about but have never seen.
Come on, let's have a party next
Wednesday afternoon.
Be Prepared, My Friendt.
I'm not one to be telling se
crets, but the meeting of the
Student Council Is a fairly spas
motic occurence. You have been
invited to every meeting since
you have been In school. No
doubt, you have read about the
"big" things that have been done
at these social gatherings and
you would like to be one who
can tell his children about "stu
dent representation."
First, you will wonder why no
more neonle rome in nur nnwv
You will wonder about this fact
especially because you already
knew that everyone had been in
vited thru the columns of this
daily for two or three days be-
iore. xouii just nave to be con
tent about this question, however,
and conclude that when 33 mem
bers, those members whom you
elected, are Invited only about 25
will attend.
Who, Why and What Then.
You'll be In the dark alto
about the purpoie of the gather
Ing. After the committee reports,
if by reports you mean several
tentences of promises of things
that are to be done, are com
pleted, and no new business
comes up, you will know that it
Is time to go. The party will be
over.
Then too, you will wonder who
all the girls are that attend our
pre-arranged tete-a-tete. That, my
dear students, you'll never know
unless they're your friends. In fact,
you will know only those who get
up on the floor and speak. Then,
if you listen the president will
call them by name. Probably we
should tell you now that the
speakers of the afternoon, if they
attend, will be fairly certain. The
president behind the desk is Al
Moseman who directs the affairs
of council. Others who will speak,
as they always do, will be: Dave
Bernstein, William Clayton, Har
old Benn and Jane Walcott.
Please Don't Leave Early.
Probably you will aik why
members continually leave the
meeting before they adjourn.
You will have two antweret to
this question. First, some mem
ben realize that they had noth
ing to do, and If something were
done It wouldn't be important.
Second, most of the members
who leave early have Important
engagements. They are activity
minded people who are so bur
dened with extra-curriculars
that they have to be In three
placet at the tame time.
Last of all you will wonder why
we ever attended the session. Well,
you were amused, were you not?
You learned of a place where you
can spend an hour Tree of charge,
learn nothing, and be entertained.
Probably, if you looked real close,
you perceived your own definition
of the Student Council as just
another thing of dubious credit
and hrmor that docs nothing but
promise the things that will be
done but never are.
"More marrages are wrecked by
college-trained ffirls not working
and having too much time on their
hands, than by their working." Dr.
James McConaughy, president of
Wesleyan university, thinks that
It is unfair to force a young wife
who could earn some money for
herself, to beg her husband for
spending money.

Our Diapered
Diplomats
l'oor old Andrew Jackson's grave looks
as if a cyclone had struck it. He road the re
ports of the incident between Japan and the
United States caused by our slap silly, tattle
tale foreign diplomats in China. Of course, Mr.
Jackson was twice as prieved when he discov
ered what the slate department had done about
it. He just couldn't believe that a supposedly
prouri nation Would stoop so low as to admit
officially that one of its citizens could be
slapped (of all things!) and would go crying
to the state department about it. What ifthis
person did happen to be scrvinp in the diplo
matic service as an assistant's assistant's
assistant. Jt is all the more reason why he
should have some standards of manly behav
ior. A child 6 years old, if he has had the
proper training, wouldn't think of tattling to
his mother about some slap another child had
given him.
If we are represented in other countries
by such species of manhood, it is no wonder
other nations lose respect for us. It is true
that our state department is partly to blame
for letting the story out, but a man who
can't see the degradation in admitting that
he was slapped by a Chinaman or Japanese
at that, has no business out .after dark. If
stories like this one get out about us, we
can't blame other peoples for drawing any
conclusion they wish concerning our much
publicized Indian killing valor. Can you
imagine any country with a controlled press

My Dear Madame Editor:
The Nebraskan represents an
institution of higher learning.

umns, a movie star column, a
radio column, and about every
thing else that is only indirectly

readers of the "Rag." However,
the paper neglects one of the
most Important phases of educa
tion, that Is, the book arjd the
library. We (yes, I attend the
university) have an excellent li
brary collection, not building
and the city likewise has a fine
circulation list, but so far as I
know, the only material devoted
to the library which finds its
way into the Nebraskan is the
names of the new bookt at the
university library, and an occa
sional book report. What do you
say to a weekly or temi-weekly
column In the paper devoted en
tirely to book notes gathered
from the city end unlvertity li

sacrifice of one of the unneces

It none too great for tuch a con

overly blunt. (I have merely
taken Mr. Walker's tip, "Be

The point is this: The "Rag"
needs a book column. I am not
an activities man, but work for
my living and can't afford to

scheme; but I am well ac

Since the "outrageous" "admir
able" ban was placed by Omaha's
Mayor Dan Butler on tho book
"Slogum House" written by Ne
braska's own Marl Snndoz, the
demand for the book has tripled
in Intensity. There arc more than
122 reserves for the book at the
city library. Mayor Butler cen
sored the books in the Omnha pub
lic libraries because he claimed
that it was unnecessarily lewd
and "revealingly vulgar." Mari
Sanrloz, who 'also wrote "Old
Jules," is a product of the Uni
versity of Nebraska pedagogues.
Perhaps "old Dun" should .spout
righteous indignation over other
books; it helps circulation . . .
Comparative popularity of
books as indicated hy the number
of reserves at the city libraiy is
as follows: Sandoz's ".Slogum
House," 122 reserves; (.'renin's
"Citadel," Z'J reserves; Robert's
"Northwest Passage," 20 re
serves; Mitchell's "Gone With the
Wind," 25 reserves; non-fiction:
Carnegie's "How to Win Friends
anil Influence People," 51 reserves;
"Old Jules," 23 reserves.

letting that story get out? It really argues
against a free press. Can you imagine Mus
solini arousing the populace with the war
cry, "We must avenge the slapping of Vit
toro Allisono!" If he did the Italians would
laugh at him and order a dozen extra soft
diapers for the diplomatic nursery,
Naturally, we don't want any hide under
the bed foreign policy. We want our govern
ment to take a firm stand in matters that nre
worthy of a firm stand. American vouth will
fight any country in the world, if it thinks the
cause is justifiable. That statement may amaze
men too old for military service and for that
reason a very supersensitive, patriotic Rroup.
These old fire horses are off at the slightest
smell of smoke, and they imagine that the
young men, who stand a good chance of losing
their lives in a war, are afraid to fight because
we don't get up and whoop for a war along
with them. So far there hasn't been anything
to get excited about. With the exception of
that Standard Oil convoy, known in official
circles as the gunboat Panay, which was sunk,
and the slapping of that two fisted assistant
diplomat, even the supersensitive state deparl
m ont is finding it difficult to find fault with
the way Japan is conducting her war.
Maybe the whole difficulty lies in the poor
pay, which is supposed 1o be a part of the bur
den our ever loyal diplomatic service bears
without grumbling. Congress should raise their
pay, in order that our long suffering envoys
can take their mothers along. Maybe, if this
were done, they could bowl into their mothers'
skirts, and wouldn't be embarrassing Ameri
cans before the whole world.

true comparison inasmuch as the
library circulates only nine copies
of "Slogum House," and some
40 copies of "Gone With the
Wind."
At the city library, an un
official count revealed that the
literal translations of Cicero,
Ovid, and Virgil, circulated 60
times as much in the three
weeks directly preceding exam
inations at the university as in
the remainder of the semester.
Such ' free translations are no
longer available at the univer
sity library inasmuch at tome
student (?) in need of a "pony"
borrowed them without asking
and returned them NOT.
