N. L R. B. IS REVERSED
"The employee has the right to strike but no business to commit
acts of violence or to seize employer's plants. To justify such con
duct because of the existence of labor dispute or of an unfair labor
practice would be to put a premium on resort to force instead of
legal remedies and to subvert the principle of law and order which
lie at the moundation of society."
With these words the supreme
court, thru the majority opinion
written by Mr. Chief Justice
Hughes, handed th? National
Labor Relations Board its first
real setback, and further en
couraged the activities of vari
ous critics of the board.
The opinion of the court re
versed the order of the N.L.R.B.
which had forbidden the Fansteel
Metallurgical company to dis
charge workers who had staged a
"sitdown" during a 1937' strike.
Justices Roberts, Butler and
McReynolds concurred In the ma
jority opinion.

notable triumvirate of liberals
Brandeis, Stone and Cardozo)

Bstandig won the collegiate debate
title for the second semester and
the right to take the Chicago trip

collective action of world democra
cies is necessary to guarantee
their survival."
Each man was allowed eight
minutes to pet forth his issues
concerning the question. That col
lective action is the only alterna
tive to guarantee survival was up
held by the affirmative speakers

if collective action could be effec
tively organized it would lead to
war.
The four winners will make the

between Lincoln and Chicago and
with Chicago university and
Northwestern. They will also re
ceive two hours regular class
credit and will be the intercol
legiate debaters for the rest of

"The aims of the alumni or

to unify all alumni groups in the

of every alumnus in the activities

worth Duteau, new secretary of

Stating that every alumnus
must have a soft spot in his heart
for his alma mater, Mr. Duteau
went on to say that thru direct
contacts wherever possible, and
thru the facilities of the newspa
per and Nebraska Alumnus, an
effort is to be made to keep the

qualities sought in applicant
"Personality and a knowledge i Mr. Bouve ' continued, "and the
of how to deal with men are the
most important qualities which
the business world is demanding,"
declared Mr. L. Bouve, assistant to
the personnel director of W. T.
Grant Co., interviewing seniors
here last week.
Answering the query concern
ing the kind of material for which
his company was looking, the
Grant executive stated that he
chooses preferably students who
have worked their way through
school or have had summer em
ployment. These men; he feels,
know what it means to work.
The Grant man went on to say
that activity men are generally
favored because it is felt that they
have leadership ability. His state
ment, however, was qualified by
the remark that a personality too
dynamic or activities so numer
ous as to be to the detriment of
scholastic standing are a disad
vantage to the applicant.

Director rejects real McCoy
for parts in "Sorority House7
When does a sorority girl not
look like a sorority girl ? According
to .John Farrow, Hollywood direc
tor, members of the Greek sister
hood just don't look the part for
motion picture purposes.
When casting began for the
movie, "Sorority House," some 200
applicants turned up for the parts
of 21 sorority girls, and most of
them were the real thing. Authen

Farrow, but of the 21 chosen thes

K. C. Star editor draws
parallels between old
Rome, new deal policies
Henry Joseph Haskell, editor
of the Kansas City Star, who will
address the student body in con
vocation at 11 o'clock Monday at
the Temple, will draw parallels
between the new deal of today and
policies of the government of Old
Rome.
With the title, "The New Deal
of Old Rome," the talk is based
on material collected during recent
trips to Italy and a many years
study of ancient Roman govern
ment. Mr. Haskell is now writing
a book with a text similar to that
of his convocation address.
A letter to C. S. Forbes of the
classics department stated that a
comparison of the Roman govern
ment with Roosevelt's revealed
some striking similarities. First
century sitdown strikes in Egyp-
tion alabaster factories, a Roman
P. W. A., and Considius, Roman
counterpart of J. P. Morgan are
analogies brought to light by Has
kell. The Kansas editor is listed in
