You Forget
Nebraska takes the. load among middle
western universities and colleges today when it
opens a fingerprinting drive under the spon
sorship of Alpha Phi Omega, national service
fraternity, and the local police department.
Students and faculty members will have an op
portunity to have their fingerprints taken on
the oitv campus from 9 until 5:4.") every day
until May It at the Student Vnion building.
Operations of the group doing the fingerprint
ing will continue on the ag campus from May
16 to May S.
Backed by the approval of the FBI, un
der the direction of J. Edgar Hoover, the
state and local police departments, Mayor
Oren S. Copeland, Acting Chancellor Dean
H. H. Foster, and the student council, the
drive will offer students and faculty mem
bers an opportunity to have their finger
prints recorded in the civil section of the
identification bureau at Washington. This
is done without cost to either students- or
faculty members and is being financed en
tirely by the local police department and the
federal bureau of investigation.
Under the present setup of the university
fingerprinting program it is not compulsory
that all students be fingerprinted, but it would
appear advisable when one. notes 1he advan
tages which naturally accompany such a pro
gram. "Daily the newspapers are replete with
instances in which tragedy and grief have re
sulted from a lack of identification and 1he in
ability to furnish proof of individual identity
"and good standing in the various communities
of our country." states an excerpt from an
tissue of the FBI law enforcement bulletin.
-"For this reason it is impossible to overesti
mate the value of the widespread development
of this infallible, immutable, unchangeable
-method of identification. There nre cases of
.accidenls with no immediate means of identil'i--cation
about which we read daily. Instances of
amnesia or the loss of memory are pathetically
'.numerous. Cases of this nature involve indi--viduals
of respectability and stability in their
'various communities who have wandered away
thru loss of memory and suffer hardships that
Irannot be exaggerated 1hru inability to iden-

tify themselves properly and thus regain the
protection and care of relatives and friends."
A letter received by Alpha Sigma Phi
from J. Edgar Hoover reflects the contention
that it is a definite advantage to have one's
fingerprints on file in the civil identification
bureau. He adds that "there is no stigma
attached to having one's fingerprints on file
at Washington. On the contrary, I feel that
it is a privilege to have my fingerprints in
eluded in our records so that should any dis
aster or accident befall me, my family and
friends will be saved the anguish and suffer
ing which accompany an unexplained dis
appearance." The advantages of civil fingerprints are
patent. Their use would eliminate the loss
sustained by the cashing of bad checks; the
overlapping and duplication of personnel rec
ords would be reduced ; losses occasioned by
fraudulent conveyances and transfers of prop
erty would he curtailed; unknown dead could
be identified; the local ion of amnesia and drug
victims, missing persons, suicides, accident vic
tims and others could be determined.
It is an ironical situation when a crim
inal has a far better chance of being properly
identified in the case of accidental or sudden
death than the individual who has lived re
spectably in his community all of his life,
who has paid taxes, who has rendered public
service of marked value, but who, because
of lack of an infallible method of identifica
tion that all criminals possess thru the prac
tically universal fingerp:inting of the law
less element, must often be buried in a pau
per's grave and remain an enigma, so far as
his fate is concerned, to his family for the
balance of their existences.
As long as the opportunity is offered 1o
buth students and faculty members, Ihey should
icel that it is not only a necessity but also an I action on a request which was
advantage to have their imgerprints m the, sent in laie from here."
civil identification file. The local chanter of University officials explained
the national service fraternity has brouirht the
opportunity to the campus doorstep, free of
charge for those who wish to take advantage
of it. H would appear that the program of
fered a onesided proposition, all in favor of
ried Nebraska's name with them
to the top of their professions, is
another story featured in the May
issue.

Mexican Legend Provides
Basis for Picture
Of New Spain.
"Cruz Diablo" (Devil-Cross), a
Spanish picture coming directly
from a successful run in Carcacas,
Venezuela, will be given at the
Varsity theater, Saturday morning,
May 14 at 10 a. m. The Spanish
club is sponsoring the showing.
Adapted from a story of the
same title by Vincent Orona, it
grew out of the oppression which
Mexican people have suffered from
different tyrants throut the cen
turies. An old popular legend of
the Mexican people forms the basis
of the story.
This picture is a knightly ro
mance of new Spain, of men of
iron, dream women, mystery, dan
ger, and love in the time of a
king on whose dominion the sun
never set. It was said of Cruz
Diablo, "If this man is not God.
he must be the devil."
"Cruz Diablo" has been popular
in every place that Spanish is
spoken. Ramon Pereda and Lupita
Gallardo are the leading charac
ters in the picture.
Tickets my be purchased for 23
cents from Spanish students, in

department, or Kathcrine Tiazza

dent Union building would also be

city campus plant to the ag college
