Cornhusker Staff Plans
'Salute to Nebraska'
Editor Lahr to Include
' Student Social Survey
What are the living conditions
of Nebraska students? How many
students work and what are they
paid? How many cokes do stu
dents consume? These questions
and many others concerned with
the who, what, why, when and
where of campus life will Je an
wcred by the 1939 Cornhusker.
Branching out a good deal from
the yearbook's self-imposed duties
of the past, Pat Lahr, editor, is
attempting to incorporate a "so
cial survey" of student activities
in a new sub-section of the book
entitled "Student Cavalcade."
The main section, of which the
survey is a part, is a "Salute to
Nebraska" and includes a history
of the university and a section de
voted to Nebraska's Unicameral
Legislature which meets in Janu
ary. The latter feature brings to
mind a similar attempt to play up
state legislators on the part of the
Cornhusker Issued L 1937, also a
legislative year.
Miss Lahr's aim in preparing
the social survey is to collect facts
about students and the university
so obvious that most collegians
hardly notice them, together with
factors more or less unknown. The
data will be correlated and shaped
to give a bird's eye view or "cross
section" of a great university and
its population.
Patterned After Life.
The section will be patterned
after the photographic essays of
Life magazine. However, the year
book will have more copy in pro
portion to pictures because of
pace limitations. The style of
"Student Cavalcade" also includes
some of the elements of Vogue.
Co-eds will probably be more
familiar with this magazine than
the men. Larger pictures will be
"bleed offs" while smaller cuts
will be placed carefully belter
skelter. Here, as thruout the whole
book, will be a color combination
of green and copper.
Opening the aection are several
pages covering living conditions in
rooming houses and fraternities, a
contrast of Barb with Greek, reg
istration statistics and student
Jobholders.
But no student's time is taken
up with "all work and no play" so
campus diversions come in for
their share of attention under the
quoted title. The Cornhusker will
attack this problem, as well as
others of more weight, in a scien
tific manner with an analysis of
time spent for amusement and
pleasure which should prove most
Interesting.
To Debunk Education.
The "education problem," a very
knotty one Indeed, does not mean
educational theories to Cornhusker
editors but will Include such mat
ter m apple polishing, amount of
time students study, popular pro
fessors, popular classes and popu
lar colleges.
dosing ine survey will be a
page devoted to "Campus Opin
ions." Hera, the Cornhusker will
endeavor to Ball down that much
abused phantom, rVk?ent opinion,
which has its counterpart in per
haps the even mora abused public
opinion. What do students, as a
whole, think about administration
policies, about Germany's future,
about themselves, about their
school? The year book will try to
answer such questions.
In "Student Cavalcade," Miss
Lahr and her staff are tackling a
mind, so apologies to him, and cac
tus plants to the bird who framed
the material so cleverly???

Fascist Talk Fills South
America, Reports Grad
Venezuela Unimpressed
By Most of Propaganda
Germany and Italy are constant
ly bombarding South America
with nazi and fascist propaganda
according to Frank W. Johnson,
graduate of 1934. who Is now aso
elated with the Standard Oil com
pany In Venezuela. Mr. Johnson
arrived In Lincoln Friday on a va

15. Johnson, who majored In Ge
ology while attending the Univer
sity, is chief field geologist for the
Lago Petroleum company, a sub
sidiary of the Standard Oil com
pany of New Jersey.
Commenting on the economic
exploitation of South America by
way of the radio Mr. Johnson
states, "The propaganda has ax
adverse effect In Venezuela and Is
the subject of daily attacks by
newspapers, citizens, and the na
tional government. The people) of
Venezuela are satisfied with the
present democratic government
and have no Intention of changing
their alleglence to a European gov
ernment" Johnson also stated tiat
news broadcasts from Germany
and Italy were "colored" In favor
of their national governments
"Broadcasts from the United
States," he stated, "are more en
eral and are held In higher regard
by the citizena of Venezuela." Mr,

While the annual presentation

this year, all good suggestions for
the ball which are used will be
paid for. and students are Invited

Perhaps the most Interesting
studies of the last few years can
be made in regard to the dictator
ships, and their relationships with
the democracies. War crisis, re
armament, tyranny, conquest, in
fact everything that is exciting
and emotional, everything which
appeals to passion and patriotism
can be found embedded in ihe
philosophies of the dictatorships.
When Anschluss with Austria
was completed this year, the en
tire Jewish collection of books in
the Vienna library, some worth)
thousands of dollars, were rele
gated to the fire. Manuscripts,
dating back five centuries which
ran contrary to the fascistic the
ory, or written by anyone sus
pected of having Jewish blood
were not spared this unjustifiable
condemnation. Included among the
works which were destroyed were
some of the original manuscripts
of Germany's most famous mu
sicians. Literary refugees.
The United States is filled with
these courageous refugees who
have refused to give up their cul
tural heritage for a "mess of
pottage." Included in the group
which dared to defy Herr Hitler
are Germany's best known auth
ors, Lion Feuchtwanger, author of
"Josephus" and "Success"; Thomas
Mann, known for the "Magic
Mountain"; Heinrich Mann, Arn
old and Stefan Zweig, Erich Re
marque, and Bruno Frank. Their
works are being published in
America by Alliance Publishers,
vi i are publishing exclusively the
Works of German and Austrian
exiles.
The European situation is 5tili
attracting considerable attention,
and authors anticipating another
crisis, perhaps of even more se
vere type, are refilling their pens,
dusting out their mills and looking
toward Europe for their fortune.
While ordinary Americans abroad
are attempting to get back home
as fast as they can, free lance
writers and roving authors art
rushing towards the nearest boat
dock to go to Europe.
ODDS AND ENDS: Birth con
trol literature may now be im

for the layman, however, is still
prohibited . . . "Applied Econom

mester economics, is being nation

The small state of Czechoslo
vakia, which is the focal point in
the current European crisis, is re
puted as being the most curious na
tion of all Europe. There are more
newspapers per capita in Czecho
slovakia than In any other Euro
pean country, and the per capita
sales of books in Czechoslovakia U
exceeded only by thtt of England

According to Mr. Johnson, the
standard of living in Venezuela is
very low in comparison to the
United Stales, and the people are
divided into two classes, high and
low, aa there is no middle class
such aa exists In most countries.
In the opinion of Mr. Johnson,
the president of Venezuela, Lopez
Conteresros, is interested in the
welfsre of the people and will
prove an exceptional president.
Conteresros was formerly a gen
eral In the army of Gomez,
dictator of Venezuela who died In
1935.
Before going to Venezuela,
Johnson served aa an assistant In
the university geology department.
He was then appointed to a posi

where he worked for eight months.
In the summer of 1936 he accepted
his present position and was Im

Van Royen Sees Dominican
Republic's Rise 'Remarkable7
Nebraska Geographer
Publishes Articles
Studying a part of the world
that is still little known, Dr. Wil

department of the university finds
that the Dominican republic has
made remarkable progress in pub
lic improvements during the last
few years.
With two articles on the Domini

Dr. Van Royen is now working on
several articles giving detailed
studies of the development of

of the geographer's articles.

tropical trees and underbrush,
combined with the heavy rains and
the natural topography of the
country.

"At present one can travel by
car over nil the more important
parts of the republic," says Dr.
Van Royen. "Autobus and regular
automobile lines now connect the
major towns and truck traffic is
developing at a rapid rate. Within
scarcely a dozen years travel and
freight transportation have been
revolutionized. This is no doubt

Set up in response to a grow

system was not proposed as a
means of rewarding students. At
the time of its inception, it was
hoped that it might be used in the
future as a basis for. determining
the candidates for activities hon

the scholastic consideration. If
