Asks Prof. Norman Hill Professor Describes Need For "Definite Foreign Relations Policy. By Ellsworth Steele. While congress debates a 'bill jrovlding for what has often been Urmed the "super navy," there still remains uncertainty as to what is the American foreign policy. Norman L. Hill, professor or international relations, ex plained that the formulation of a naval program depends on the esti mates of naval experts of the equipment necessary to carry out the foreign policy that has been decided upon. "In the United States, we have always been negligent in the de termination of the basic foreign policies to be protected, but sur feited with the extravagant de mands of the naval "expert" for more ships. "The proposal now before con gress raises many questions to which answers are not readily available. I hope that congress will not act too hastily. If we can avoid an aggressive fpreign policy, I am. Inclined to think that our naval needs are already amply met." The proposal before, congress Players Go on Air In Third Campus KFOR Broadcast Theater Group Dramatizes Queen Elizabeth's Life On Radio Tuesday.

Exhibit Depicts Unusually Modern Art of 18 Century 'Voluptuous School' . Now On Display in Romance Language Library. Showing a sizeable amount of manly and maidenly pulchritude playing hide and seek, the "uol- uptuous school" of 18th centry French painters is on display In the romance languages library in U. hall until Thursday, when the pictures will be returned 'to Mor rill hall. "Born a hundred years too soon," Fragonn.nl, most advanced of the four painters represented, lived in the latter half of the 18th centry. A favorite of Madame Pompadour, who commissioned him to paint her boudoir, he was very popular with the high society of his day, because much of his work was "immoral." "Light becomes the hero" of his paintings. Fragonard, with Wat teau, was far ahead of the photo graphic realists of his day, fore shadowing the Impressionists of the lflth century. A pervading light is the keynote of his pictures, rather than sharp outlines. One pervading color gives the picture a unity, though the colors are not so attractive. For Instance, his "Schoolmistress," shown in the ex hibit, an appealing picture whose center of interest is an under dressed, blonde youngster, is in somber colors, the most impressWe part of the picture being the play of light and shadow. Fragonard was a pupil of Bou cher, another "voluptuary" whose work is displayed, and who was a better colorist. Tho he was more of a photographic realist, some of his paintings have a unity of golden tone. From the pictures shown, Wat- Omaha 'N' Club Honors Presnrll on March 2 I The Omaha "N" club announced that its dinner honoring the Ne braska basetball team and Glenn Presnell, new varsity backfield coach, has been postponed from March 15 to March 23. new calls for approximately $1 000,000,000 to add 73 new fighting vessels to our navy. This bill Hill considers no exception to the usual method of building a program on an indefinite foreign policy. "The Vinson amendment to the bill before Congress pretends to correlate our foreign and naval policies, but it was so vague and general as to be quite meaningless, It asserts that our navy should be sufficient to protect the United States and possessions. Does this include the Philippines, whose in dependence we have promised in 180 1 But What It Aggression? The amendment promises that our navy shall not be used for aggression, Hill continued. But what Is "aggression?" The term has been so difficult to define that as yet international law has not found any generally accepted defl nltlon. "The Vinson amendment further asserts that our navy shall be great enougn to support our na tional policies. What are our na tional policies? What is our far eastern policy today? Is It to com pete with Japan for far eastern advantages or to recognize that the (Continued on Page 8.), E 19 Society to Grant Awards Of $50 to Sophomore, Junior Women.

NAZI RULES OFFERS SCHOLARSHIPS Dictatorship Tells German Student to Avenge in Blood At Jehovah's own command, so the ancient scripture story goes, Moses, prophet of the Israelites, climbed to the top of Mt. Sinai and there received two tablets of stone. Inscribed on them by the hand of the Almighty were ten commandments, which were to be come the fundamental moral law for one quarter of the peoples of the earth. Three thousand years later, out of the conflict of philosophies which characterizes modern Ger many; comes a nazified "ten com mandments for German students." It is a new code of conduct, molded for use by a dictator ruled people. Sent for publication in the Daily Nebraskan by Geist Dcr Zeit, German monthly magazine, and at the request of Erich Albrecht of Nebraska's department of Ger manic languages, are the following "rehn cesetzo des deutchen stu denten." , Nazi Ten Commandments. 1. German student! It is not necessary that you live, but it is necessary that you fulfill your duty toward your people. What ever you are, be a German! 2. The supreme law and the highest dignity of a German man is honor. Offended honor can be avenged only thru blood. Your honor is the loyalty you owe to jour people and to yourself, AK-SAR-BEN SHOW I Ag Honorary Holds Eighth Livestock Exhibition In Horse Barn.

STAGED A URDAY BY BLOCK BRIDLE Railroad Employee, Joe IJollege Use Same 'Line 'Hard Up,' 'Crummy' Found In Both Vocabularies. But Two Meanings. The most collegiate university sophomore and the most illiterate railroad lineman share some of the same slang words, according to D. V. Snapp of Lincoln in an ar ticle in the February issue of American Speech, a magazine of which Dr. Louise Tdund is an edi tor. The student and the lineman have a common stock of slang, the for mer Burlington official declare1, but a world of difference lies be tween the meanings which the two draw from it. "Crummy" to the campusite is an accurate description of an un attractive date, but when Hie rail road worker says "crummy," he means the bunk car. A "block" to the lineman is not something to be traversed to get to class, but "a guv to pull wires." "Hard-up" is not a statement of insolvent financial condition but the technical position of a pole. "In the work of these gangs who build and maintain railroad communication lines," Snapp writes, "A lingo has developed which obviously has bpen employ ed to save time and effort." No Economy of Words. Allho most of the expressions are terse and pointed, a few of the terms, especially those which re fer to equipment, are not the re sult of striving for economy of Y.M.

C. A. president, urges all cabinet members to be present. 3. To be German means to have character. You too are meant to fight for the freedom of the Ger man spirit. Seek the truth that Is embedded In your own nation. 4. Lawlessness and freedom from binding orders are not freedom. There is more freedom in serving than there is in the commanding done by you. The future of Ger many depends on your faith, your enthusiasm and your will to fight. 5. If you lack imagination, you will be unable to accomplish any thing. You cannot incite unless it burns within you. Have the cour age to admire and to be revered. 6. National socialists are born. They are also the. product of edu cation, most of all the product of self-education. 7. If there is anything mightier than fate.i it is your courage with which you bear it. Whatever fails to destroy you makes you stronger. Praised.be the experi ences that make you hard. 8. Learn to live within an orderly unit. Order and discipline are the indispensable foundation of every community and the be ginning of all education. 9.

"Give her Nebraska" means in railroad lingo to fill in dirt around a pole. Originated by a Nebraska worker, the phrase has spread nil thru the middlewcst on the C. 13. & Q. 'system. Verging on baby talk Is the ex pression "Mooley cow," which in lineman jargon indicates that the speaker is unable to hook his safety belt. This belt, incidentally. is a "scared strap" to those in the know. Activity of a woodpecker or a yellow hammer pecking at a pole is pointed out from one workman to another by the shout of "Line man not on the roll!" which means literally that a "lineman" not listed on the roll books is on the pole. The foreman of a gang lias been called the "main squeeze," with headquarters at the "official end,' and any workman in the gang may be termed a "bully or a "come along." Other expressions arc as fol lows : ' "Snivvey," wire to fasten pulley blocks. "Animal car," wash car. "Cross arms," toothpicks. "Digging tools," knives and forks. "Lineman's church," a church with a cross on the. steeple. "Pull," the deviation from a tangent of a comer pole. "Railroad," a train is coming; clear the track.

Let there be uniformity in your thinking and acting. Follow the example of "dcr Fuehrer!" The new commandments bear lit tle connection with those put forth in the Bible other than in name. They appear obviously to have been designed to instill the Nazi creed in young Germans. That "dcr Fuehrer" is constantly looking toward possible armed conflict in his plans to regain for Germany her lost colonies and control over central Europe Is probably one of the reasons back of the wording of the first nnd second command ments. Back of commandment seven may be seen the German program of setting up habits of selft-depri-vation for her people. Some au; thorlties hold that such a program Is Intended to prepare nazis for war times when national self suffi ciency would be desirable and necessary. Preparation for the regulated life of armed forces and of civil ians in time of war may be seen in the eighth commandment. In all of them may be found the German idea of complete subjugation of the individual to the welfare of ten ;tate, CANDIDATES UNDERGO JUDGING Student Union Program Brings Billiard Artist PLAYS FOR AG BOARD Goddess of Agriculture's Presentation Comes At Spring Dance.
