Jampus Versus
National Politics
Tlic great emphasis placed on earn pus poli
tics and tlie tack of enthusiasm shown toward
Kovprninrntal affairs indicates the political
U'end on most American campuses. Ami Ne
braska is no exception. The spirited rallies
which precede the fall election, and the usual
work of the politicians in the spring balloting
is enough to prove this fact, when one consid
ers at-the same time the lack of knowledge of
national politics that holds sway.
One of the most pronounced differences
between American students and European
undergraduates is the much greater interest
of the European students in politics and
especially in social and economic problems.
It is a well known fact that heretofore
American students have shown comparative
ly little interest in governmental affairs.
Hut the horizon does not look too dark at
present for this indifference is slowly matur
ing into a keen analysis of national polit ical
policies since the advent of the Roosevelt era.
The recent rise of student political organiza
tions on many campuses is the best indication
of the trend toward discussion of problems of
national importance.
A three-day session of law making, con
ducted in the same manner as the congress
of the United States, in which 85 students

hard, and was loyal to the boss
and the Job.
Traditions Remain.
The blizzard of 1886-1887, In
which cattle died by the thousands
and by the hundreds of thousands
foretold the end of the cattle days,
Professor Dale said. Settlers al
ready had poured Into the region
and had driven the ranchers to the
poorer lands farther west.
"The riders of the cow country
are gone, big their story will never
die," the Oklahoma historian de
clared. "For therein lies romance."
It is not an accident, he explained,
that Texas university's elaborate
dining hall is called The Chuck
Wagon, that the radio each night
brings the old cowboy songs into
our homes, that dude ranches and
rodeos are common in the west.
Frontier Heritage.
"Yes, the spirit of the west re
mains," the visiting historian re
iterated to members of the as
sociation at the annual dinner
Friday night. Speaking on "Our
Frontier Heritage," he said in
part, "The same restless frontier
spirit is evident In the mad rush
with which we travel, In the edu
cation which stresses utilitarian
and neglects the cultural,
"Our Frontier heritage consti
tutes a danger and a hope the
energy, faith optimism and cour
age of the pioneer may still lead
us on to the conquest of those new
frontier that lie before us."
All the romance, the thrill of
adventure in history are there for
the research historian who will
seek them out, Prof. Pale ex
plained as he spoke Saturday noon
t tne concluding session of the
conclave, a luncheon meeting held
at the University club. "Too many
teachers are so busy with ancient
history that they forget the wealth
of historical material close at
hand "
Wronged Researcher.
"Ami the historian need not be
the thin, atoop-shouldered rlnd
who delves into old manuscripts
and books Research may lead one
to strange places and Into many
adventures."
Saturday mornlng'a program
began with a breakfast forum at
the University club. Later In the
morning an open meeting was
held In Social Science, with Dr.
E. N. Johnson of the history fac
ulty speaking on "The World
History Course."

homa, Kansas and Texas participated, re
cently helped to acquaint college students
with legislative and parliamentary proced
ure as well as to give them an opportunity
to discuss national problems. A similar
assembly, the first of its kind to be held in
the south, convened recently in North Care
lina, representatives from 18 colleges parti
cipating. The "Little Congress-' at the University
of Virginia and the "Union" at George Wash
ington university are student political organ
izations founded "in answer to the challenge
that university students should face squarely
the problems of democratic government." The
idea derives from the Oxford Union which for
more than a century has aroused interest in
public affairs among students at the English
institution.
The "Little Congress" and the "Union"
are based on model legislatures, composed of
three parties, those of the right, the center,
and the left. The two legislatures embody
the essential attributes of the congress of
the United States, with standing committees,
which report bills, a speaker who serves as'
president, minority floor leaders, and party
caucauses. Delegates are seated in propor
tion to the party vote as determined by gen
eral balloting of the entire student body or
by a vote on political issues.
All of which sounds like a mighty worth
while set-up, especially when it's compared to
the political jamborees which have become a
part of present university life.

German Assistant to Serve
As Instructor, Work
For Doctorate.
Erich Albrecht, assistant In
structor in the Germanic language
department, will leave Nebraska
next year to go to Johns Hopkins
university where he will serve as
a German instructor and continue
work toward his doctor of philos
ophy degree.
Mr. Albrecht came to United
States in 1932 after studying for
the ministry in Berlin. He spent
two years as an exchange student
at the Hanna divinity school at
Wittenberg college, in Ohio, and
from there received his Bachelor
of Arts, Bachelor of Divinity, and
his Master of Scientific Didactics
degrees.
During the summer of 1935, Mr.
Albrecht served as assistant pastor
of the First Lutheran church of
Columbui, 0., and then in the fall
came to Nebraska. He received his
Master of Arts degree here in June,
1936. He is the author of the recent

ARISTOCRATIC BEER
PARLOR; STUDENT
PROFESSOR Close association, or co-operation,
or easy contact, or what ever
you want to call it between the
student and the professor is one
of the most noteworthy things that
a university education can offer its
partakers. There is no doubt but
what many students consider such
an association before they choose
their university or college. Fond
parents back home are taken up
by the institution which offers
schedules that enable their sons
and daughters to "really know
their professors."
Many smaller institutions of
higher learning have "put their
hooks" on a student because of
this one advertising feature.
There Is little doubt in our
minds but what the folks back
home believe that their student
offspring will receive as much
education by "Just being around"
a professor as they will in the
formality of the classroom. And
their convictions, we believe, are
correct in more than 50 percent
of the cases.
This capital city institution is
not lacking in that close relation
ship between professor and stu
dent. It cannot be said that the
University of Nebraska is all for
mality. The folks back home
need not think, then, that their
sons and daughters are being sub
jected to a lot of eccentric, per
verted old foggies that step into
the room, call the class to order,
lecture on dubious mtaerial for an
hour, dismiss the class, and walk
out. This institution has more to
offer in its relationships than that.
When it comes to student-professorship,
we would say that
Nebraska ranks about at the
half-way mark. There is great
room here for such development.
At the University of Wisconsin
liberal minded professors like
Alexander Meikeljohn will dis
miss their classes at the end of
the hour and then journey with
his students to the Student
Union aristocratic beer parlor.
Here their discussion takes on
a different meaning for, when a
professor can talk off the record
(that is say things that rules
maintain he cannot say in his
classroom) students begin to get
ideas many times their first
since they met the professor.
Nebraska professors, speaking
broadly, haven't let their hair down
that far yet. And Nebraska doesn't
have a society man's beer parlor in
their student union. But they do
have a student union with one
main purpose that of ent ':..g the
student to get better acquainted
with themselves that their profes
sors. We wonder sometimes if this
greater student-professor relation
ship will take place because of the
student union. By no means would
we open ourselves up enough to
advocate a beer parlor in the stu
dent union.
At the present time there is
only, one organization on the
campus which is designed for
this closer relationship. The Cir
cle, as it is called, is doing
splendid work in securing these
necessary things. We hope, how
ever, that the student union will
solve the needs of the student
and professor, that the atmos
phere of the building will be one
of "off the record at all times."

Fanny Brtce
Remembers; Decries
Old Stage Jokes.
If she had to do it all over again
the only thing that would keep
her from becoming a comedienne
would be Jokes!
That's what Fanny Brice, NBC
comedienne, has to say about her
career and the gags that have been
its foundation.
"We think some of the modern
jokes heard on the air are bad,"
Fanny says, "but the radio gag3
are masterpieces of humor com
pared with some of the old ones I
remember from my 32 years on
the stage. What's more, I have an
exceptionally good memory, so I
recall them all."
Jokes that used to send people
rolling in the aisles would send a
radio listener diving for the turn
off switch, the creator of Baby
Snooks vows, "Here is an example
of what I mean," she says.
PREACHER: "Now class, what
Is a false doctrine?"
JOHNNY: "I know, Bad Medi
cine." "Eef that doesn't keel you," the
comedienne says, in the dialect that
has made her famous from coast
to coast, "then here's one with a
payoff that will. Leesten."
COLLECTOR: "Aren't you
bothered about that $5.00 you
owe me?"
SLOW PAYER: "Goth, no.
What's the use of both of us
worrying?"
"See what I mean," Miss Brice
adds. "So the next time you think
some of the radio gags you're
hearing are punk, remember the
old stage jokes."
You hev heet de nail on de
hed, Mees Brrrice.
At last Lights Out fans who
have wondered what kind of
dreams beset the author of this
nightmare-inspiring series will
learn Just what Arch Oboler does
dream about when they tune in
"They Died" during the Lights
Out broadcast next Wednesday
evening.
Oboler insists he dreamed the
entire plot.
"I haVe heard of authors dream
ing plots, then writing their
story," Oboler says. "I always
listened wtih a bit of skepticism,
but now I know it's possible. I
dreamed 'They Died' so clearly
that when I awoke, I wrott the
synopsis before I had breakfast.
"The plot incidentally, deals
with the adventures of a man who
has so many narrow escapes from
death that he begins to think he
is imagining the escapes and that
he is really going crazy.

warning of secret agents, poli

around warningly at each other,
place fingers on lips and say,
"Hist! Be Careful! The very

must watch out for this.
We have never actually seen
a painter in earnest action but
these must be his first steps:
1. Brush aside or uproot all
the wallflowers.
2. Remove or plaster over ears
which the wall may have devel
oped. 3. Note where the plaster is
apt to crack eventually. Then
paint so that if a crack ap
peared it might appear as just
another worried wrinkle. This is
