This lack of interest and enthusiasm fur events oeeurrins; in the spheres of activity not connected with college life micht best lie por trayed by glancing at a typical scene often en countered during time spent at university. Involved in the following scene are two stu denls who biow-aliout-thinps. and an annoy ing radio over which is heard, intermittently, a persistent voice broadcasting late news re ports. FIRST STUDENT: It sure looks as thoueh thinps are beginning to happen on the campus now. The 1erm started out at a snail's pace but now it looks as though thinps are reallv eoine to happen. SECOND STUDENT: Yon mean politics? F.S.: Well, I don't know whether I oucht to tell, but you probably know the prospective candidates for the spring elections are lininp np. We've pot lots to do.

F. S.: (eontinuinp) And then this matter of petting moved into the new student union buildinp. That's goinp to require a great deal of work and organization for most of the campus societies. S.

PATRIOTIC PILGRIMAGE A troup of 1.500 Chinese stu dents and two American professors Saturday began a trek into the typhus and bandit infested moun tains of Shensi provinces to re establish a university. Already they had come hundreds of miles southwestward from Peip ing, where their studies had been interrupted by the Japanese bomb bardment and capture of the city. Part of the way to a safe retreat they will travel by the Lung ha i railway, but the bulk of the jour ney must be made on foot. The Chinese soldiers have promised to obtain food for the pilgrims and carts for the baggage. The faith of the Chinese in their country's future is perhaps pinned to this group of students. War is cruel, and no one should realize more vividly its ruthlessness in blighting an entire generation than the Chinese who have been torn with internal and external strife for decades. Unless China salvages some of her students, who will be there to carry on the re cons: motion when the fighting has ceased ? China refuses to consider the possibility that Japan will re lieve her of that pleasure. And China has suffered too severely in former days from the maladminis tration of warlords to stomach a reoccurrence of their misrule. No, those 1,500 students are precious to the future of China. And while they would make little impression if armed and put in the path of the Japanese juggernaut, when the ruthless machine wears itself out and collapses somewhere within the immensity of China, 1,500 young people who have decided that the greatest patriot ism is to retire and prepare them selves for future service to their country will be invaluable. And their path is not rose strewn! If they survive tvtihus and bandits, there is the problem of food. And millet will probably be their "piece de resistance" on an unvaried menu. Then perhaps they will never reach a place of refuse. The Japanese are drop ping bombs with very telling effect around in China. But "good luck and God speed" is the wish of the group from American students w-ho recognize a patriotism great enough to re strain the Chinese from the futile gesture of casting themselves in a frenzy of emotion before the Japa nese machine guns. 'MADE IN NEBRASKA' The current ad in Time, by the Associated Industries of the state, points out that not because of its favorable tax situation alone does Nebraska hope to attract indus tries. We have industries now, and they are doing well. Most of them process the products of our land, but many of them use raw mate rials from other regions to finish here for the market. Side by side with the food manufacturers and the millers are -the makers of re frigeration equipment, of auto ac cessories, of haberdashery who sell their product in a farflung market And even last year, when times were not so good In Nebraska, an estimated 400 million dollars worth of manufactures went to the mar ket from the shops and mills and factories of this state. That ad. we think, will interest the rest of the nation. It ought to interest Nebraskans even more. Interesting them, it ought to sug gest something to them. That sug gestion is that in their own buy ing they can do a great deal to encourage and stimulate home industry. We suggest no wall around Ne braska to shut out products made in other areas. That would be a foolish thing. Nebraska desires an unimpeded flow of commerce be tween herself and her neighbors; to buy of them as well as sell to them. Eut the Nebraska label is a good label. It is found on a surprisingly long list of commodities "from brooms to windmills," says the Time ad. It includes nearly every processed food. It includes all kinds of clothing. It includes soap and harness and paint. It includes so many items that the depart ment of commerce, when it makes its census of manufactures, finds it necessary 1o list i main classi fications for Nebraska. Buying in Nebraska stimulates business in Nebraska. It strength ens payrolls. The dollar spreads more widely among us when it is spent here. And the best of it is that by helping make our estab I lished enterprise prosperous we I shall be giving a practical demon stration to enterprise elsewhere, becoming interested in Nebraska location, that they will find ample reward If they rome here. This ranks in importance with maintaining tin- state on a sound financial footing, and In keeping it sale and sane in the midst of tax idiocies Nebraska is an infant in industry, when all the at ate are ranked, but It is healthy infant facing a promising future. Om aha Worm-Herald. An Ohio man is suing for di vorce because his wife threw bis cuits at him. He's lucky and doesn't know it. Many wives make biscuit which are too heavy to throw. About the only hope left now i that continual priming of the pump may eventually rale the wter to a level where we can dip It out of the well. Some on ask, "What would you ad vine a person who habitu ally fall in love at first sight?" We should advise him to consult an oculist or a psychiatrist. Alas! Only when the democrat re in office do the republican know how this country ought to be run and vice versa. Spring Is Here . . .

Barkley and Norris, two principals in the case, enter into the forensics, and charges fly thick and fast Barkley blocks any congressional investigation of the project, for the time being at least Any investigation should come from an impartial group, he says, not a group of biased legislators. "I would go to the hearings with an open mind," say Bridges. "But I want to serve on that commit tee." Norris cuts in with a sarcastic, "No doubt the senator is perfectly unbiased." And Bridges shouts back. "I'm certainly as unbiased as the senator from Nebraska." Bridges gets in a thrust that Norris has included his specifica tions for an investigation but left out 23 charges made by Bridges and King. And Norris comes back with a heated. "They were insult ing. Some of them were like say ing, "Will you stop stealing from the TVA? Answer yes or no,' or. 'Will you stop beating your wife ? Answer yes or no.' " Pulse Where Are The 'Red Dotsr To the Editor: A question has just popped into my mind. What has happened to that organization of women so famous in the past better known as the "Red Dots" ? Ha that group passed into oblivion? Or is it merely dormant in the lives of the "great gals" on the campus? Are the women slipping ? According to Mr. Wadhams of digging fame, the men are still active in T. N. E., and we hear now and then of them, but who has heard of the Red Dots in the last few years? Have the women of the campus lost their gumption and spunk. Are they dropping into an uncolortui contentment with the routine living of college? Have they merely come to school for an education, to learn a profession, to get a hus band, or have they rather come to school to live a little and have a good time in conjunction with the mere acquirance of knowledge. I can remember the good old days when there were things going on on the campus which took the monotony out of school work, that added life and color to the every day trend of ordinary life. I miss it now, chool has become a grind, and the university is becoming a factory turning out product which may be polished in factual knowl edge but which contain no more social polish or color than the day they entered. I hope that someone reading this, someone with a brave heart who doesn't want the school to go to sleep will take up the cry and we wil se-e again such colorful student organizations as the Red Dot and the like.

Egon Friedell, who held a unique place in the ranks of cul tural historians, died by his own hand the other day shortly after Hitler's program of the Jews in our city got under way. There is no author of the pres ent century, save Spengler per haps, who has written more bril liantly and thrillingly of the place that music and the other aits hold in modern civilization since the renaissance. I cannot think of a better re solve for college students, for col lege professors, indeed for any person pretending to be interested in the history of ideas, than to read in its complete three volumes Friedell's "Cultural History of the Modern Age." In order to whet the appetites of potential new readers of Friedell, and in humble tribute to this un fortunate genius trampled by the barbarism and mass insanity now at large in central Europe, I hope you will see fit to devote one of your columns to the following ex cerpts from Friedell's masterpiece, which is published in your country by Alfred Knopf. Schubert. "Just as the brothers Grimm created (which means, not in vented, but raised to the rank of art) the German fairy-tale, so Schubert ennobled the folksong and set it as an equal by the side of the highest tone-creations. His song was not as a rule handled bystanzas, but 'durchkomponierf and the accompaniment was eman cipated from the voice and almost became the chief element two epoch making enrichments and deepenings of musical expression. In another way, too, Schubert stands evidenced as an absolute genius in the fact that he never I gives one the impression of any j thing queer or out of the ordinary. (Ablissful instrument of God like ja bird of the fields, Schubert let i his songs sound, an invisible grey I lark in a ploughed field, darting j up from the earthy furrow, sent ; into the world for a summer to sing. Shakespeare. "Shakespeare lived, in a period of exultation and world-change and splendor, a peaceful, simple almost banal sort of life. He be gan as supervisor and hack-poet, had his daily rehearsals, re-wrote plays, wrote a few of his own, bent over ledger, costume-bills, and box-office takings, and enly a few years before his eath achiev ed his ideal: To live 'a care-free village-life in Stratford, fnr from theatrical make-up and manu scripts. The acknowledged "poet lau reate" of the age was Ben Jonson, a man of stupendous learning, which he wove with amazing skill into his dramas, a tasteful maker of mosaic, a clear-thinking logi cian, who was thought a Classi cist because he had modelled him self with care on the Roman tech nique o fempty types, and who thought himself a high priest of tho it may sound, to us, it is more than possihle that his contemporaries saw in him the exponent of the high line, the poet marked for immortality, while Shakspere was an amusing and entertaining pot-bcrtler who wrote for the gallery.

Mentor Thwarts Masquerade as Varsity Netmen Two men students at the Uni versity of Alabama have learned that truth, like honesty, is a pretty good policy. The other day the pair, rigged out in tenms togs, went to the university's tennis courts for a few sets. The varsity team was prac ticing, so the two sat down and waited more than an hour for a court. finally a court was relinquished and the duo hastened to occupy it. But rtn sooner had they begun to play than anolher pair approached and informed them they had come to take over the court for varsity practice.
