Dear Biff Jones:
I Nebraska's csti
fiiaclr readied a
How tinii'S I'lianyi' ! Just a year njjo today.
Nebraska's J'oolliall slock and
iiiation of von as a foolliall
dizzy height. Jit ineinlit'i' .'
.Nebraska opened against. National Cham
pion Minnesota and knocked Hie (iopliors off
their pedestal. Fans wauled to put. a statue of
you, Major, on the slatelioiise tower in place of
The Sower. Tlie Maskers were the toast of 1he
town.
Then came Iowa Slate. They were success
fully weathered. Oklahoma and Nebraska,
playing in a heavy rain, locked horns and bat
tled, to a scoreless deadlock. Missouri fell vic
tim to a llusker louclnlow n pass. Indiana,
Kcored upon on the initial play, bowed to the
lluskers. Kansas and Nebraska played to a lie.
Notwithstanding 1w stalemates, Major.
1 ho foot ball fans started talking Nebraska for
the Rose Howl. Nebraska for the Big Ten, Ne
braska for the national championship. Yes, last
j'eur was a coach's paradise,
i Hut things are different these days. The
viin'ie fans arc renouncing Nebraska and you
just as vigorously as they once praised Ne
braska ami you. Victories, 1o them, were the
only things that mattered. This year's crop of
victory-starved I'ornhuskers have been sadly
sold out by these fair-weather football friends.
'Major, the know-alls arc saying that Ne
braska w ill be lucky to win one game this year.
We disagree. The lluskers are long overdue.
Five games under their belts should be suffi
cient to erase the inexperience hex, but the big
gest problem is erasing the defeatist attitude
lhat is clouding the minds of the team.
Here's where the students and alumni
should come in to help your Jones Hoys. If loy
alty means anything to them, if school spirit
continues to inspire ihe wearers of the Scarlet
and Cream, students and alumni will either
give you ami the I'ornhuskers an inspirational
sendoff rally or wil follow the team to Law
rence to cheer for the first Nebraska triumph.
One victory might change Ihe football
l id of Ihe entire squad, and there is no lime
like the present. Kansas won't be easy sled
ding. The .Jayhawkers pounded Kansas State,
conquerors of Indiana whom the lluskers onl
lied. Kansas hasn't beaten a Nebraska team
since lUKi 'J'2 years ago. Hut there is this
above all to remember:
Not the Victory, but the Action,
Not the Goal, but the Game.
Bachelor's Degree
For Ditch Diggers
The young people of America
are realizing more each year the
value of an education, and they
are expressing a desire for the
higher education which is available
for them.
Preliminary registration .surveys
show that university enrollments
in the United States reached a
new high this year with an In
crease of 4.8 percent over last
year. Eastern college enrollments
have increased 5.2 percent and the
west, 4.3 percent. The largest sec
tional increase this year was in
the south, where the gain was 5.7
percent.
So here the trouble arises:
Some of the socalled educators in
America are horrified by the fig
ures and desire to stop the grow
ing demand for learning. As a re
sult many colleges and universi
ties have set up rigid requirements
that limit the number of students
accepted.
Definitions of democracy, of
course, can be expanded to include
almost everything, and many
times it is laughed at. But right
fully for the young men and wom
en 'in this nation, if it is truly
democratic, democracy in its full
est sense should be established in
its educational system.
Private schools naturally have
the right to limit enrollment in
any manner which they believe fit.
But a state school, or any govern
ment educational institution,
should admit one person just as
readily as it does another. A poor
man's son should have the right
to learn as quickly as a rich man's
daughter. If we are living in an
age of democracy, a dull student
should have the same opportunity
to improve his mind as the Phi
Beta Kappa.
A ditch digger with a bachelor
of arts degree should not be any
more out of place than a lawyer
who passed the bar examination
by cramming for two weeks.

PEACE MEET

when Harris makes the concluding
Address. His topic will be "Peace
and the Plain Man."
The convention was officially
opened yesterday morning when
delegates were welcomed to Lin
coln by Gov. R. U Cochran and
Mayor Oren S. Copeland, of Lin
coln. Sponsors of the convention
are the Lincoln Peace Council and
the National Peace conference.
' Activities for the day began
when Arthur D. Reeves, assistant
director of the National Peace
conference of New York City, ad
dressed the group on "Issues Fac
ing America." He described Amer
ica's position in relationship to
peace and how this position could
fee Improved.
' ar' Panel Discussions.
Business for the afternoon cen
tered around a series of panel dis
cussions and roundtable sessions.
Prof. H. W. Stoke of the Univer
sity political science department
addressed the delegates on "Eco
nomic Nationalism" during the
panel discussions.
; Jack Hanssen, program director
for KFOR, arranged and presented
a special program from the con
vention floor at 4:45 at which
time he interviewed both Harris
and Reeve. During the interview,
they explained the specific aims
and goals of the National Peace
conference and the National coun
cil for the Prevention of War.
. Immediately following the ban
quet, a mass meeting was held in
the Venetian room oi ine uuin
Lincoln at which time, the dele
gates were addressed by Congress
man Henry C. Luckey, Congress
ional Candidate Catherine F. Mc
Gerr, and C. Petrus Peterson, a
Lincoln lawyer, who represented
Congressional Candidate George
Heinke. Each candidate spoke on
-My Platform for Peace." The
meeting was open to the public.
(Continued from Page 1.)
French culture in general and has,
with it, a common origin in the
civilization of ancient Greece and
Rome.
Teutonic Influence.
The generous use of columns,
especially in southern France. -he
attributed to the L,atin ana Hel
lenic influence. Charlemagne later
fostered their use because he
thought them evidence of culture.
Today, said Prof. Smith, we still
attach a certain cultural value on
the useless column which is a hold
over from medieval times. (Col
umns to be erected on the new ath
letic fields, please note).
In addition to, the Latin and
Greek influence, ' German culture
had an effect on the builders of
Northern France, and the Nor
mans, originally from the Scandi
navian countries, contributed a
great deal to the Gothic style of
architecture.
The great contribution of the
Frenchman to world architecture
claimed the lecturer, was the de
velopment of a structure whicii
was fireproof and well lighted, yet
suitable for worship, in the great
stone cathedrals which dot the
country.
Humorously, he added that the
cathedral buildings were motivated
by civic pride as well as by religi
ous zeal. In building the massive
places of worship, villagers hoped
to outdo their neighbors.
The next lecture, in which Prof
Smith will continue his subject, is
scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 1.

rnitories also looked beautiful as
we drove down the street, observ

nity and sorority houses and, dif

3. Mr. May still has unbounded
faith in Nebraska's football team.
"Of course I can be wrong, and a
good many people in Shenandoah
say they are not going (to the
Pittsburgh game) saying it's going
to be a foot race, with the Ne
braska players trying to catch the
Pittsburgh players before they
crons their goal, but I don't think
so, at any rate."
4. Things are looking up on the
citrus fruit front and maybe the
Rag workers and anybody else
who happens down in the office
at the right time with a citrus
fruit appetite may be soon absorb
ing fruity vitamins. We quote from
Mr. May's letter, "I'll just say that
I am better off this year thnn last,
because citrus prices are goicg to
be lower on account of a big crop,
but it's a little too early yet for
them . . . One of these days the
citrus will arrive, and beware!"
The last sentence is still mysti
fying. Does "beware" mean look
out for rotten fruit, or what?
Frankly, the Rag staff is worried.
What will the Rag's May basket

(Continued from Page 1.1
the people who don't listen and
make too much noise while the
game is being broadcast.
There is one thing about a group
of people listening to a game
around a radio. They become very
friendly and talkative with each
other between plays. Perfect
strangers converse easily on the
merits of a player or a team. It
makes the whole world kin. Fa
mous plays, games and players
are recalled.
Radio Rooting.
A rooter rooting around a ra
dio, strange to say, seefs to root
harder than he does in the stands.
Bad plays are met with deep
groans and protesting murmurs.
Good plays are recived with yells
and shouts whereas when sitting
in the stands he has to be coaxed
by a cheerleader. While searching
about for an explanation for this
phenomenon, the Daily Nebraskan
committee in chatge of explana
tion finding pointed out that foot
ball games nowadays are three
ring circuses. The game isn't the
onlv thine. There are the pretty
coeds to be looked at by the boys
and vice versa; there are cheer
leaders; there is the band, and
once in a while, Mickey Rooney.
The players are lucky to even get
observed three-fourths of the time.
But when a rooter relies on a ra
dio to bring him the game, there
are no distracting elements, or less
anyway.
That's why we come to the con
clusion that football should be
given back to the football players.
We're becoming just a race of
spectators, now that we come to
think of it. How about coming
over to the Rag office for a fast
game of checkers? We want to
get rid of this spectator complex
and start competing in some sport.
You bring the checkers. Or dom
inoes.
"Students in our colleges and uni
versities, focus your eyes on what
needs to be done in America. Fo
cus your eyes upon the task of
making democracy function in the
economic life as well as the politi
cal life of our nation. Remember
that the democratic ideal of equal
ity means economic opportunity as
well as political liberty." Wiscon
sin's Gov. Philip F. LaFollette be
lieves collegians should give more
consideration to domestic prob
lems, should not be blinded by the
glare of exciting events abroad.
"Once the private institutions
accept support by the state, the
bulwarks will go and the result
may well be the same as in coun
tries where communism and fas
cism are in control. The continu
ance of the independent schools is
necessary to preserve the integrity
of the public schools." In an era
of fund grabbing by Institutions
of higher education, Washington
& Jefferson college's President
Ralph C. Hutchinson urges that
private colleges seek only private
funds.
To the Editor:
Annarently there
.......
porta in Q
dissatisfaction
the decisions of the judging com
mittee which awarded the home
coming decoration cups. There has
been no open protest, needless to
say but I feel that even a ww
pering campaign should not go un
challenged, and as a member of
the committee, I therefore rise in
our defense.
It was not to be expected that
n.Niri'inui would' asrree with tne
committee in their selection of
first place winners, since tne iour
or five best displays in both so-
nrltv and fraternity classes were
so nearly on a par that any one
of them might conceivably have
won the award. Nevcrtneioss, u is
the opinion of the judges that the
Sigma Nu and Delta Gamma dec
orations were clearly entitled to
the first place awards on the score
of originality, execution, ana gen
eral effectiveness. We are, how
ever, willing to admit to those of
a different opinion, as they will
admit to us if they arc falrminded,
that a difference of opinion is
conceivable.
What we cannot tolerate is the
inference the decision was other
than strictly honest lit every re
spect. The presence of a member
of the winning fraternity in the
judging committee had nothing to
do with the outcome; indeed, he
voluntarily withdrew from partici
pation as soon as the competition
was narrowed down to five fra
ternities. As a matter of fact, all
of the decisions were left to Terry
Townsend and Bill Newens, the
Lincoln business men who served
on the committee, the four mem
bers of the Innocents society on
the committee merely taking part
in the discussion.
The above are the facts of the
case. The judging committee feels
that a great deal of loose talk
would have been eliminated if the
objectors hud made themselves
acquainted with these facts be
fore they launched their whisper
ing campaign.

Early this week the German
club and the dance committee
went on record as opposing the
wearing of corsages at Carolina
dances. They asked the students
to co-operate with them by not
sending flowers to their dates for I
the fall dances this week end. I
This week end, in order to en
force the decision, dance com
mitteemen are asking students to
check corsages at the door.
Admittedly flowers add a cer
tain measure of charm to a big
college dance. But the habit of
sending corsages dance after
dance has built up a convention
in which sentiment has been al
most entirely excluded. The five
dollars spent every dance week
end is no trifling expense to the
average prom-goer. To many stu
dents it means the difference in
going and not going to the dances.
In barring corsages at the
dances this week end the German
club and dance committee will
undeniably be extending their au
thority as organizations on a dem
ocratic campus. But in so doing
these two dance organizations will
be working to the best interests of
the campus. They will be taking
the initial step towards putting
an end to a custom that has de
veloped into an expensive and
rather meaningless convention.
