What appears to be a miniature
Maginot line across the terra un
firma of Nebraska's campus has
been in the excavation process for
the past two weeks.
University workmen aided by
WPA labor, have been cutting
through the earth's epidermis and
removing many cubic feet pre
paratory to Inserting pipe in the
bowels of the earth from the uni
versity heating plant to the ad
ministration building for the pur
pose of providing air-conditioning.
So far, two trenches have been
dug, one on the northeast side of
pharmacy hall and the othtr on
the north end of social science.
Workmen are now busily engaged
in removing dirt, preparing for
cement pouring, cussing one an
other, and looking forward to
lunch times and paychecks. It
was while they were busily en
gaged in removing dirt, tying a
string to obtain a level on the
bottom of the trench and amiably
cussing one another that a "rag"
reporter projected his curiosity.
"Do you expect to be out of
the trenches by Christmas?"
One venerable workman who
would undoubtedly be drawing $30
every Thursday if he lived in Cali
fornia, looked up from the trench,
exhibiting a corncob pipe and a
face full of wrinkles. He opened
one and laughed out of it.
"Say, we ought to just about
make it by then, won't we, Bur

In the Infirmary are Paul

The winter number of the Prai
rie Schooner will he off the press
sometime next week. This maga
zine is a collection of the finest
writing of the prairie country,
points out Pr. Wimberly of the
university English department.
"The Nebraska writers contribut
ing," asserts Pr. Wimberly, "were
chosen not because they are Ne
braska writers, but because their
work is outstanding." Among the
contributors of this edition nre
several Nebraska writers of
poems, short stories, and articles.
Author of "So com uuisuie, a
short story, is Weldon Kees, whose
name appears frequently In the
Schooner. Mr. Kees, a graduate
of the university, now lives in
Denver. Colo. A well known con
tributor Is Kudolph Umland, au

Mr. Holland is editor in chief of

Smith, of Omaha, has written
both prose and verse for previous
copies of the Schooner. K. Current
Garcia, instructor In Knglish at
the university, contributes his ar
ticle, "Writers in the Sticks.1"
Mr. Garcla's "American Pano

summer issue of the Schoner.
Appearing for the first time in
the Schooner Is Carl Uhlank, with
his short story, "The Bittersweet

efforts of trying to tighten the
string. The mackinawed straw
boss Inspected the string about the
middle, yelled for Burton to
tighten the string and also In
formed him that he suspected him
of breaking out with the seven
year itch. Burton pulled the cord
tighter and gave the straw boss
the address of a place reputed to
be several degrees warmer than
any place above the earth.
A workman on the surface
moved a shovelful of dirt from the
trench's edge to a pile further re
moved and in so doing caused a
few clods to fall down in the
trench on the head of a workman
in the trench. The trenchman
wholeheartedly traced his fellow
worker's lineage in a brief concise
statement and went on to ask Bur
ton if the string was in the dead
center of the trench.
Burton exploded vocally and
asked whyinell It wouldn't be In
the dead center when he, Burton,
had been taking special pains to
see that it was. The trenchman
then took offense and replied:
"Why, you blnnkety-blank com
munist! How was I to know if
it's in the center? I just asked."
The straw boss at the other end
amiably told Burton to hustle and
B. and the straw boss did horrible
things to each other in word form.
A wooden barricade about three
feet high surrounded the trench.
"Why the barricade?" was ques
tioned of a workman trying to re
light his pipe.
"It's a law," he replied. "So's
nobody will walk into the trench
at night."
"How deep are you going?''
"Twelve feet."
"Are you going to connect these
two trenches with a tunnel under
12th street?"
"Yes," replied the loquacious
one.
"Twelve feet deep?"
"No, we'll probably have to go
four feet deeper when we tunnel
under the sidewalk and street. The
pipes have to come from the uni
versity plant to the administration
building same as they go from
the plant to the Student Union."
At that moment, a class bell
rang and the reporter perforce
went to pursue his academic work,
having assured himself and, by
this time, the campus, that work
on the "trenches" is steadily progressing.

Professors Clarify Views of Major Powers
Jean Tilche, W. K. Pfeiler, R. D. Moriti Explain Variations in Attitude
FRANCE
At Told by
Prof. Jean Tllche.
There is no question whether
France will give to Italy any land,
even that which she formerly
owned. France may grant Italians
minority privileges in Tunisia, but
not very great ones. Italy's imme
diate objective in the present de
mands is probably merely to gain
some better arrangement ln Tu
nisia. The natives of Tunisia are un
doubtedly against Italy f nlng
the country. They are r it- bo
rate under France, bui .-y Wutild
be merely a colony under Musso
lini. The French realize, also, that
if they were to grant Tunisia to
Italy, Algeria, Morocco and the
rest of their African possessions
would go.
The Inhabitants of Nice and Sa
voy would be against such a
change of allegiance. The people
of Savoy have spoken French for
centuries. Even the many Italian
emigrants in Nice are against go

Editor's Note: The following is a symposium on recent
world events as it might have been written by a Frenchman,
a German, an Italian, and an Englishman. The attitude of
the people in each of these nations has been phrased by uni
versity professors who have traveled in the separate countries.
GERMANY
At Told By
Dr. W. K. Pfeiler.
Germany knows she can not rely
on Italy any longer than the Ger
man and Italian Interests coin
cide. Their Interests ln the Bal
kans, Germany pushing toward
the Black sea and Italy toward
Jugoslavia and south, will be
ln harmony for some time.
My conversations with hundreds

ITALY
At Told By
Prof. Jean Tilehe.
There will be no war from the
present dispute between Fiance
and Italy over Tunisia, Corsica
and Nice. The entire affair was all
prepared to see what would be
France's aetion. Looking forward
to the pending Franco-Italian pact,
the Italians want to disturb the
French and gain greater conces
sions by pointing to the demon
trations as the will of the people.
The Italians would not have any
desire for Tunisia if some one had
not raised the question. Italy could
use Tunisia very well because It
would close home for surplus
(Continued on Page 2.)
BRITAIN
As Told by
Prof. R. D. Moritz.
From last summer's trip to
Europe I feel that the English
were sure that Hitler was bluff
ing and could not have carried
his entire nation into war against
the highly mechunized army of
Czechoslovakia, certain Russian
opposition, and the power of
France and England. The Knglish
people would' have backed a
stronger policy than Chamber
lain's. The British prime minister did
not have the nerve to call Hitler's
bluff, but If ho had, the British
people would have backed him up.
England would not have Invaded
Cermany, but she would have cut
off her supplies by a blockade in
the North sea.
England will not go to war to
help the Jews. The outrages Hit
ler Is committing against the Jews
are a blot against civilization
which the German people will not
recover from for a generation, but
the British will not go to war over
, the matter.
