A Thought on
Thanksgiving
It is a inure jittery thnti jittcr-lmg Ameri
can youth that is trekking homeward today
turnout the Tinted Stales to spend Tliaiiksgiv
iusr Day with "the folks." Kvcnts that liave
transpired since September, nationally ami in
ternationally, have east a gloomy shadow over
commonly bright, and cheerful campuses. The
fun of going to college has not been eclipsed,
but it is being seriously threatened, sufficiently
to warrant a genuine student, interest in the
affairs of the world.
Thanksgiving, however, is the lime of Ihe
rear in which we are supposed to look about
us and find things for which to be thankful
Students, as a rule, are more pessimistic 1han
many other people in laking inventory of our
common blessings. They are. inclined, there
fore, to see the gloomier side of the Kuropeau
war scares, racial persecutions, dictatorships
and ultra-nationalism.
The troubled stale of the world should
serve as a strong impetus for a more devout,
Thanksgiving in the United States. "VYc can
shout from the house tops that we do have
something to be lhankful for among them,
home, parents, friends, college. When stu
dents peek tomorrow at the turkey during the
saying of "grace," that bird should be a pal
atable reminder of what there is to be lhank
ful for.
American youth, which must be led by
college students of today in the generation of
the future, faces a far from encouraging fu
ture. Thanksgiving Day should serve to re
kindle the enthusiasm necessary to make, our
cl-mioeracy a bigger and better example of
good government, liberty, tolerance, freedom
and happiness. It is not enough to give thanks
alone we must resolve to keep ourselves and
our country out of the influence of those who
jealously covet the many things that we have
for which we can be thankful. Armistics day
is not a day for the celebration of Ihe World
war, but a day of tribute for the closing of the
goriest, chapter in the book of life. So it is
with Thanksgiving Day, a day devoted not to
celebration but to an expression of thankful
ness for "life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness," and all that the phrase implies.
Dear Biff Jones:
This is our final message of the season,
-Major, and our sentiments before ihe last
game arc mingled as we look back over a hec
tic. Cornhusker season. Five losses, two wins
and one tie says ihe record book. And Kansas
Slate, perennial Turkey Day rival of the llusk
crs, is on the slate for tomorrow for a classic
battle who'll be last in the Big Six?
As for Nebraska's football fortunes, we're
prone to look on the rosier side of things. We
have recognized since the onset of Ihe season
that (1) Nebraska lacked experienced man
power and that. CJ) Nebraska's conference foes
had the stuff. 1 ii short, they were up and we
were dow n.
There wasn't a single thing to remedy the
situation. Major, so we followed your policy of
making t he best of what is available. The
lluskers learned a powerful lot of football this
season, knowledge that came iu the playing
field. They learned, for example, fumbles
cannot be made against Pitt. But fumbles hap
pen in the best of company. The Iowa game
gave Nebraska's gridders their first opportu
nity 1o demonstrate a scoring punch from w ith
in Ihe L'O yard line.
Major, we think Nebraska's undergradu
ates deserve a hearty round of applause for
their understanding. The wolves who howled
after every loss were on "O" street, not on
the campus. The students, despite 1he paucity
of victories, carried on ami cheered for a Corn
husker team in which they still took pride.
Major, Ihe students were the most loyal sup
porters of the Cornhuskers and we feel they
w ill continue to be win, lose or draw.
You won't be hearing many students yell
tomorrow, Major, because most of them will be
gointr home for Thanksgiving with their folks.
But it is safe to say thai the non-presence will
not affect, the students' support, because Ihey
will be sitting at home with their ears glued to
the radio cheering on the lluskers in spirit for
a Turkey Day victory. A win over K-Siate.
Major, would be 1he finest tasting dessert of
any Turkey Day dinner..

Martian Monster
i Draws ROTC Fire
I To the Editor:
j While I have little doubt that
I you know whether the Bismark
type of environment best suits
your nature or not, I know a great
many people who prefer Mr.
Rapp's company and style better.
From your statement, it is quite
evident that your knowledge re
garding the booking of bands has
been sadly neglected thru want of
actual experience or personal in
vestigation of the same.
While I would gladly have ad
dressed this little note to you per
sonally, you made such impossible
because either vour ethical stand-
! aids In regard to correct Journal
istic practices do not coincide with
your logic or you graciously
spared Sunday's Daily Nebraskan
readers the terror, which your
signature might have struck in
their hearts.
Especially for you, and others
who are interested in a discussion
of the problems of Ihe various
campus music committees, I take
the liberty in presenting a few
pertinent facts:
1. Seem ing a band for a specific
date is incomparable with the.
types of attractions offered local
ballrooms who contract a hand
when and on the date it is offered
to them by the central booking
agencies.
The Turnpike contrary to gen
eral conviction does not wire Chi
cago and say "We want Bob
Crosby the evening of blank
blank" but rather Chicago writes
Mr. Pauley if he would like to have
Mr. Crosby play in his hallrnom
November 28th for $500 while on
the way to the coast.
Just to keep the "monster"
straight the Military Ball is De
cember 2.
2. In the winter season bands
have a tendency to accept perm
anent bookings rather than endure
the hardships of winter tours in
the north and middlewest.
3. The cctmmittec on student af
fairs tacitly limits the amount
which may be spent to secure cer
tain types of bands and the com
bination of these factors makes it
a 50 to 1 chance that a bund satis
factory to evr -yone, in a suitable
price range, can be secured for a
date which is determined a year in
advance.
If the "Monster" can pull Wayne
King, Kay Keyset-, Horace Heidt,
or Hal Kemp out. or his bag lor
the Junior-Senior From or the ln
terfraternity Ball, I know of two
music committee chairmen who
would engage his services at the
earliest possible moment and 1
sincerely regret that I have not
been confronted with or by the
creature, as such, prior to Novem
ber 15, 103K.
The music committee utilized all
possible means in securing a good
orchestra for the Militsry Eall
and is sure that the majority of
dancers attending the ball will en
joy New Englanders' style of
music.

Renowned Diaries Reveal
Thoughts of History's Great
Library Shows Works
Of Historical Leaders
"Have re-read the pages of my
diary in which I examine myself
and seek paths or methods of im
provement," wrote Tolstoy on
March 18, 1855, in his journal
which is now on display along with
other famous diaries in the first
floor case of the library, showing
day to day records of what fa
mous people were thinking end
doing.
Tolstoy's notes were briefly
jotted down for his own use. He
records with equal frankness his
losses at cards, his dissolute con
duct ,as well as his aspirations and
reflections.
George Washington's dairy, of
which one volume is exhibited,
was, like Tolstoy, full of detail
recorded for his own use. Wash
ington kept careful account of his
social obligations, agricultural ex
periments and duties of state. On
April 9. 1790, he wrote: "Exor
cised on horseback in the fore
noon. Received the 'Act for the
Encouragement of Arts' for 8 com
mittee of Congress. The company
who visited Mrs. Washington this
afternoon was very numerous both
of Gentlemen and Ladles."
David Livingstone recorded in
full his exploration in central Af
rica, writing on newspapers when
his note book gave out. On April
6 of 1873, he was "ill from drink
ing two cups of very sweet malofu,
or beer, made of bananas: I shall
touch it no more."
Careful Repyt.
Unique is the dairy of Marjorie
Fleming, a child who lived to be
only 7 years old. In hopes of Im
proving her handwriting and spell
ing, she was given a copybook in
which she was told to write what
ever came into her head. One day
she wrote: "To Day I pronounced
a word which should never come
out of a ladys lips it was that I
called John a Impudent Bitch and
Isabella afterward told me that I
should never say it even in a joke
but she kindly forgave ma because
I said that I would not do it again
I will tell you what I think made
me so bad a humour is that I got
1 or 2 cups of that bad sina tea
to Day."
Samuel Pepys, generally award
ed first place among English
diarists, wrote his journal thruout
)n shorthand, fearing a possible
reader. One of those who wrote for
publication rather than himself
was Tom Moore, who Introduced
many humorous stories but said
little of the quiet uneventful days
Others whose dairies are on ex
hibit are Alfonso Wetmore, John
Qulncy Adams and Fanny Burncy.

sistant who received her M A
from Nebraska in 1931, is respon-

readers that they are reading the
OFFICIAL all-star selection, you
begin to recall players' names,
publicity blurbs, headlines, excit
ing games.
Then you start chewing your I
fingernails and running your fin- ;
gers thru your hair distractedly.
In your spare moments you pick
a man for each position. Be sure
and have 11 men on the team
seven linemen and four hackfield
men. It doesn't matter much what
their position was on their own
team.
If you have already selected two
tackles and you remember a third
that is a Gibraltar on defense and
"just has" to be on, make him a
fullback because of his "tremen
dous physical strength and gal
vanic drive. In fact, you can even
claim that he should have been
playing fullback all the time.
Give Reasons Why.
Naturally, when you list your
men, you will want to give your
reasons why. In order to save time
1 you can refer to a handy blurb I
list such as this:
Quarterback: "Man selected is I
leader, has a sixth sense in scent
ing weak spots and is a master of
strategy."
Halfback: "Man selected is a
triple threatcr with shifty hips,
amazing speed and stamina, block
ing ability and a pass defense ex
pert." Leave out the fact that he

the national alumnae chapter of
Kappa Kappa Gamma are now
being received. Women graduates
of any college or university in
which Kappa maintains a chapter
are eligible to receive the fellowships.
Granted annually by the groups
since 1935, the fellowships are not
based upon sorority membership.
Three of the awards so far granted
were given to non-sorority women

a demon on defense.''
Tackle: "Stronger than horse

Guard: "Great fm interference

fense as a wisdom tooth."
Center: "Accurate snapper back,

nuisance to his opponents."
Now go ahead and pick your
own all star team. If you think it
is a pretty good one, just send it
in to the Daily Nebraska and see if

could be expected, and that n
would be an excellent idea to give
the receipts to the two towns'
Community Chests, because col
lections at both Omaha and Lin
coln are falling behind this ear.
Opinion around Lincoln is that
the game would not be scheduled
for several reasons. Both Nebraska
and Crelghton players will be go
ing into winter sports, and al
though Creighton seems to be in
the market for another game, their
season ended Saturday, and it
would perhaps be difficult to get
the Bluejays into the football spirit
again.
Moreover, the Huskers have
turned down bids to Bowl Games
most recently the Sugar Bowl,
and would not be any more in
clined to meet Creighton than any
other team in a postseason game.
Finally, it is believed that if
the Huskers and Creighton should
get together, that a game between
them would not he played for char
ity. Both schools could use the re
ceipts for Improvements within
their athletic departments, and
would not be enthusiastic about
playing and receiving nothing in
return.
