There is an overwhelming mass of his " torical data, embracing all the detailed par ticulars that the past has to offer, which must . be considered in interpreting the affairs of war-shy Europe. Our own immediate proli- lems make such an exhaustive study impos ZL sibhe. It seems our "'dates" with our girl friends will always overshadow the "dates" ", among European potentates. That is, umil their "date" outcomes have a far reaching result, such as dragging a reluctant and war wise United States into battle. Possibilities of our entrance appear remote at the present '.time. Similar far off possibilities were espoused before the World war too. Ye may be mere college studenls with little voice in the nation's foreign policy. We may never sit in congress and vote yes or no on the war entrance question. We may never have to face the problem of going to war. Eut we have the opportunity to think at least about war. What we will do when it comes, will we fight or not? A good "bull session" on such matters as these altho not as spicy as the run-of-the- mill brand can make good fall evening sub ject matter after every boy, girl and professor is thoroly aired in conversation. Dear Corn Cojbs: Last spring your pep organization was triven a new lease on life thru a new active sponsor, membership quota of sixteen juniors slid a "work" program patterned alter Kos niet Klub. The fraternity and barb affiliations were discontinued, putting membership on a non-political basis for the first time in Corn Cob history. The plan is the best available for your type of organization. It was 1he fresh blood that your dying organization needed. Your first opportunity for service to the University came Wednesday morning at the freshman convocation when tlic class of M'J took the traditional Cornhusker oath. You failed at your first task by jour conspicuous absence. Your leaders' alibi was that you had classes at that hour. You as members of a service and pep organization were supposed to be dismissed from your 11 o'clock classes. You knew you were expected to attend and yet you went in your classes when you had a valid excuse for missing one hour of school. Your fervent interest in the classroom is to be commended. Rut when your obligation to your university asks that you miss one hour of school, you peter out in your official capacity as Corn Cobs. The Daily Nebraskan is for the Corn Cobs, because it had a hand in writing your new charter. Hut the Nebraskan refuses to sanc tion an honorary organization that falls short of its purposes. Corn Cobs have a definite place in the university's extra curricula!- life. Tradition and spirit have been the fundamental reaso is for the existence of the pep club. As soon as these cave in as hollow promises, school authorities will take steps to revoke the charter. The Daily Nebraskan does not want to sec this happen, and because of this interest i The moral cleanliness of the Mat in the Coin Cobs, publiclv warns sixteen activ- pans, as mentioned, ny coionei .. i i ,i, -: .. ....

As an anthropology student at this university, I can not help tak ing exception to Colonel Oury's statement in regard to Ethiopia's being the "dirtiest, filthiest hole on earth." It seems quite a strong statement even from the military point of view aftd certainly from the view of a student of primitive cultures, it is erroneous and dog matic. There is a specific course in the Arts and Science college which deals with African cultures and which refutes such a statement as this. Anyone who has read even the most cursory report of the ancient Ethiopian culture can not help but know that the Ethiopians or Abyssinians, even tho they are a desert people, have a culture worthy of respect. Perhaps their villages are not as clean as those of African natives under European mandates, but who are we with our big city tenement areas to set up this concept as a criterion of civilization? M is welt to bear in mind the fact that the abyssinians were New Professor Spent 2 Years on Caribbean Limiting his conversation to . description' of the bay rum indus try in the United States' Virgin Is lands, Mr. Ralph L. Hukill, new instructor in the sociology depart ment, evaded stating his views of foreign affairs and social prob lems yesterday when he was in terviewed. A sailor in the nations navy for four years before he returned to his books to obtain his master's degree from Kansas university, Mr. Hukill spent 23 of his 48 months afloat lying in the harbors of the Virgin islands. During his stay in the Carribean, he visited most of the American possessions there, and had a chance to observe the rum business of the Virgin Islands. St. Thomas, which is the capital of the island group, raises almost nothing but bay leaves, Mr. Hukill reports. And bay leaves are veiy useful in manufacturing bay rum. So it is that the world's most fa mous bav rum is the St. Thomas Double Distilled. Now St. Croix and St. .lohn are also in the group and St. Croix, because it is a sug ar producing area, makes more rum, but St. Thomas liquor takes the honors. Mr. Hukill. a Missourian by birth, received his bachelor's de gree from Washington, College at Topeka, Kansas. He has served six months as a CCC educational ad visor and took an investigation of the camps as the theme for his master's thesis. While teaching sociology here he will be complet-J ing his work for his doctor s ocgree under Dr. J. O.

His chief interest in a scene was in whether or not it would "'play." The various per sons who spoke the lines he wrote interested him not at all. In fact he did not even know who they were. The script he showed us was so different from the original, he Christians a very long time before : said, that only the Boys' Town any of the western European cul' tores that directly influence us to day became converted.

Mintz concluded his remarks say ing that the day of training grounds for the various jobs in the motion picture industry was over. At first the sound men came from radio and telegraph but now they are college men trained by the cold blooded slaughter of some thousands of these isolated people who were only defending their homeland against uncalled for ag gression, a manifestation of hu maneness let alone civilization : The Chancellor Clears Up Things Chancellor Honcher painled a clear pic lure to ih" university faculty Tuesday night that settled temporarily the speculation which I point, as they were aggressors, nevertheless.

It was refreshing In hear Chancellor Roiirher repeat that he had no mystic formula, no panaceas 1o cure the ills of Nebraska. He made it clear that his mind is frankly open to any and all sound suggestions, altho it is com monly known that he has spent years examin ing the various forms of educational programs. No one program, however, fits Nebraska per fectly, .lust because the student body at Chi cago university was adjusted to a more modern educational program, is no reason why Ne braska's student body would be able to func tion under the same plan. Thus, reasoned Chancellor Boucher, it is untimely to indicate a stand on any of the newer programs. Not a few members of the faculty and student body feared that a new ehanceilor would come in with fiery ambitions to inaugurate brand new policies without Haile Selassie, of a long line of ! said.

According to the report this is the second time that a slap has been made at "hot" dancing this year. Only recently "jam sessions" were ruled out. The Oklahoma City dance places will probably do a good business on the weekends now. Forgot, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to try a little folk danc. ing.

From a leather strap DEAR VIRGINIA: I just didn't rate down here at State until I started working on the "Rag" 'that's what they call the DAILY NEBRASKAN) Now I'm right in the middle of things! I couldn't be an ac tivity girl because they were already "set up" in the house.

I was certainly glad I had spent all that time in high school pounding away on a typewriter, because now I could type fairly decent without lock ing all over for the right key. Well, I went down to the business office. You should have seen the BMOC'S (Big Men on the Campus) and girls tco, down there! Everybody at all impor tant in activities drops in. There was an awful lot of noise in the place but I managed to find out that the busi ness manager had an office to himself, and it was a little quieter in there. He gave me some letters to type (they were all the same and after a while I could do them without thinking). I even answered the phone and felt very businesslike. The business manager has so much to do in tho office that I thought you might like to come down and work with me. I don't get any salary but then I'll be glad of the ex perience some day when I apply for a job.

When you apply you'll stand a better chance if you ask for Frank Johnson, (that's the name of the busi ness manager). Of course, it's the busi ness side that keeps the paper going, but P. S.
