Major Collegiate Affliction?
Americanitis Says Bollinger
Activity System Draws
Fire of Church Leader
"College students in this country
are afflicted with Americanitis,"
asserted H. D. Bollinger, volatile
Religion and Life Week leader, in
conducting a seminar on Religion
in College Life. "As soon as three
college students get together they
organize and draw up a charter.
The result is that every phase of
campus life is organized for rat
ing and recognition."
"Every student I meet lives un
der the tyranny of the next thing
he has to do. It certainly is an
oppressive feeling. The schedule of
every organized house demands
that you go out for activities
so the campus is constantly creat
ing activities to go out for." Dr.
Bollinger thinks that the point
system is too much worshiped, the
activities which reap points tak
ing precedence over voluntary ac
tivities. Religion Shut Out.
The methodist education di
rector thinks it quite . generally
true that religion haidly touches
the organized groups on a cam
pus. "We have to look at it real
istically. A fraternity or a sorority
i3 an organized unit for residential
and social purpose. Naturally it
takes a lot of its members, time to
carry out its purpose takes still
more time to put its members high
in activities.
"Of course there are exceptions.
I was in a fraternity house last
week in which the fireplace mantel
was full of the hardware that is
usually handed out for athletic
achievement. But also, this fiat
had consistently the highest house
scholastic average on the campus,
and a survey revealed that all but
two of its members regularly at
tended church or some student
foundation "
Dr. Bollinger has drafted ten
commandments for college stu
dents: 1. Keep your personality in
the social group. Don't let your
self be crushed in the crowd.
Practically every campus Is
over-organized and the crowd

chance to be what you ought to

2. Exercise precaution In the

in which you live. Be as careful

Father Sullivan, professor of phil
osophy In St. Benedict's college of
Atchison, Kas., and vr. Mays, uian
of the school of religion of How
ard university, divided the fourth
evening convocation of Religion
and Life week In the Student Un
ion ballroom Thursday evening.
"Culture, if it is to be dynamic,
vital and worthwhile," asserted
Father Sulllivan, "must manifest
itself in action. For a Christian,
true religion is essentially super
natural, coming not from the
world, a race, a natio.-, a civiliza
tion, or a culture, but from the di
vine life. It is something strictly
universal."
Labor At a Commodity.
"In the eyes of capitalism, labor
Is stripped of personality ana De
comes, not a human thing, but a
commodity. The only joining fa.
tor between the two is the con
tract," slated Sullivan. Pleading
not to be considered a red. he con
tinued, "We must not defend our
selves against communism by
pointing out the evils It brings
and disregarding the evils ubout
us In our own situation."
"The social problems before us
will be solved, the social reforma
tion will be a reality, only if the
revolution will be moral," he sum
marized. "A simple changing- of
machinery, of finances, will not
bring relief; a change of attitude
between labor and capital is neces

Chancellor Emeritus E. A. Bur
nett was awarded a private office
in the Student Union by the board
af managers Thursday night as
headquarters for his university
foundation work. A rearrangement
of room space made the allocation
possible, according to board mem
bers. "The Student Union board of
managers is extending an office
to Chancellor Emeritus Burnett
as a personal tribute for his un
tiring efforts as chancellor in mak
ing the Union a reality," Pro
fessor E. F. Schramm, chairman
of the board, said. "His whole
hearted co-operation with the stu
dent body in securing the Union
was recognized by the board."
To Move in Soon.
Mr. Burnett will continue his
university foundation work from
the Student Union office into
which he is expected to move soon.
The Love memorial residence for
university coeds is the latest un
dertaking assisted by the univer
sity foundation. Construction work
on the addition to Carrie Belle
Raymond hall is under way at
present.
The board, in its regular bi
monthly meeting, approved the
space assignment committee's
recommendation that theroom oc
cupied now by the 1939 Comhus-
ker be allocated for yearbook staff
use for three years, after which
time the room reverts to the
board's disposal.
Committee to Investigate.
A committee of three board
members will be named next week
by Chairman Schramm to invsti-
gate sponsorship of events by off
campus organizations in the Union
under pretense of student activi
ties. Several matters and incidents
of this nature, reported to the
board, prompted the action.
Rally Cheers
Team To Iowa
Crowd Gathers at 5
For Sendoff Parade
The last but by no means the
smallest rally-round-the-tracks of
the season will gather momentum
when rallying students led by the
freshman band. Tassels and Corn
Cobs step off from the UUnion en
trance at 5 o'clock this afternoon
to cheer Husker footballers as
they board the twin bound for the
annual Iowa fray.
Student enthusiasm, bolstered
by the win over Kansas and the
grand fight the Husker squad put
up against the Pitt Panther is ex
pected to bring hundreds of foot
ball fans to the rally.
Traveling east en R to 16th, the
parade will turn south to P. and
then straight to the Rock Island
depot. The Biffers' boys will leave
the Union by bus at 5:15 o'clock,
and will meet the student escort
at the depot before train time.
Sunday morning rabid football
fans and students will gather at
the Rock Island depot to welcome
back the Jones boys, after what
promises right now o be their sec
ond win of the seascn.

With a near sellout last night,
attendance figures on the Univer
sity Player's current Pulitzer
prize comedy "You Can't Take It
With You" neared an all time rec
ord. More than one thousand per
sons have witnessed the produc
tion, figures released after last
night's performance show.
Business Manager A r m a n d
Hunter said, however, many good
seats yet remain for Friday and
baturday night performances. Re
ports that the Players would take
their show to Omaha and towns
surrounding Lincoln, were not con
firmed by Hunter, who said he had
no knowledge of plans if they had
Deen made.
Webendorfer Example.
Meanwhile, members of the cast
and directors, said they were
elated over audiences seeing the
show. Performers in the show,
which is the first appearance of
the Kaufmann-Hart production in
Lincoln, said they were enjoying
the reception given the comedy.
Several, "hitching their wagons to
stars," dreamed of an incident
similar to that affecting the em
ployees of John F. Webendorfer's
printing establishment in Mount
Vernon, N. Y.
Cast members reminisced that
Webendorfer, after seeing the
movie of the "You Can't Take It
With You" script, split the pro
ceeds of the sale of his factory
with his employees. "I suppose I
could have gone and rolled up a
couple of million more," Weben
dorfer said. "Business has been
good, so good we can't keep up
with orders, but what was the use,
my son will always get along."
More than 250 thousand dollars
will be divided among 115 em
ployees. Anderson Named

Coeds Lead Unusual Lives
nN.U. "No Woman's" Land
Four Girls Thrive in
Domain of Engineers
Dirty machinery, jireay note
books, broad i!)af"4;iie humor
and occasionally, a cnoice bit of
profanity, make the daily lives of
four University coeds the most
unusual on the campus, as they
"hold their own" in a college made
up entirely of boys.
The girls, Ruby Loper, Winfred
Henke, Avion Mover and Shirley
Russell, are senior, Junior, sopho
more and freshman respectively in
the college of engineering. All of
them have architectural engineer
ing as their ultimate goal, but find
the initial work in mechanics, sur
veying snd other such courses un
usual as well as interesting.
Out of the Closet.
Tomboys? "I KhouM say not,"
says Mini Moyer. "After all, r
find a great number of male stu
dents in such courses as home
economics and we girls do not re
fer to thtm as sissies. As far as
I'm concerned, v.e can be engi
neers without being masculine."
"It happens even- year," de
clared Miss Henke. " girls who
have had been in the college for
a year think we are accepted, then
some new girl enters the school
and the old 'anti-femme' attitude
is dragged out of the closet with
clean collars and a new necktie."
Work, Not Charm. -
However, things are vorking
out smoothly for the women, De
termined to sink or swim on their
grade averages snd not their fern
inlne charm, the girls msde it
plain by their "man to man" atti
tu.le that they do not expect fa
vor from the boys.
According to Miss Loper, there
is not a square foot of turf on the
campus that she has not stared at
thru a telescope atop a surveyor's
tripod during the year that she
took a surveying course. As for
