PREPARE FOR HELL
Mr. Leon Thomson, secretary of the Ne
braska Peace Council, announced that he was
"disturbed" to see that the University K. O.
T. O. was to singe a sham battle for the cam
pus guest., the State Press association. "Incon
gruous" was his word to describe the man
euvers staged at a time when actual war is
taking men's lives in Europe. lut more, in
congruous arc his own suggestions to shut
our eyes to military training when there is
already war activity in other parts of the
world that may engulf even unwilling America
at any time.
Mr. Thomson, even drilling in Sunday
clothes without the writhing, the pain, and
the blood of war, connotates a thought no
man can shake. We are not living in the
world of even 20 short years ago. The mov
ing pictures, the wirephoto, the newspaper
of today have imprinted horrible war pic
tures in the minds of every American so in
delibly that no brisk music, no crack squad
can erase their sharpness.
The World "War, fought to save democ
racy, the world and no one knows how many
other ideologies, in reality saved nothing. Jt
was not the war to end wars. Its peace only
paved the way for more grievances and more
wars. And, Air. Thomson, nowhere in all the
world will you find a group more solidly
agreed to fight for peace than newspapermen.
Hut even they cannot discard the thought that
there are wars exislant now, and there will
be more in the future.
Military historians are agreed that the
United States entered five or six of its ma
jojr wars almost totaly unprepared without
competent officers and without sufficient or
up-to-date equipment. It is obvious that the
price of unpreparedness is wastefulness in
material and time, but crime is added to
wastefulness when to its price is added an
incomprehensible number of lives. It is this
nation's duty to give to its enlisted men in
any next war, sufficient numbers of well
educated and well-qualified officers. It is not
the incompetent leaders who suffer in war
fare, but the dependent and often helpless
doughboys.
Today's sham battle will not show the state's
newspapermen that we glorify war or clap
hands at uniforms and march music. It will
show them instead that the university is ful
filling its first bound duty to educale its stu
dents for life. The short history of our coun
try shows a military conflagration almost once
in every generation. If the university is to ac
complish its natural aims, it must prepare its
students for life as they will really find it, even
if that does include consideration of this
world's most dreaded thought.
That the university is keeping pace with
the times will be shown in the new methods
and new regulations which will be displayed
this afternoon when the sham battle rolls
forth.

Barb Union acts to force
attendance at meetings
In order to asyure good repre
sentation at Barb Union meetings,
the organization adopted in their
regular meeting this week a new
system under which inactive presi
dents of Barb clubs shall be le
placed. According to the regula
tions adopted, if the president of
the club does not attend the busi
ness meetings of the Union or send
someone to represent his club for
two weeks in succession, the Union
will request the club to elect a new
president.
The action was taken after this
week's meeting at which only 11
of 33 clubs were represented.

of Bagdad last night.
Hudson to play blind beggar
Selection of Richard Hudson as
the "Blind Beggar of Mecca," a
comedy part in this year'ss show,
completed the cast of speaking
characters. Hudson has the task
of learning to sreak in such a
way that very few words are un
derstandable, and yet making his
sentences seem somehow to carry
meaning. Rehearsals will be con
tinued throughout next week.
Assignments of workers as as
sistants to the active Klub mem
bers on the various committees
will be made at the Saturday
morning meeting. A business staff
headed by Irvin Sherman is now

committeemen that new regula
tions and tests for student nurses,
who ordinarily care for the pa
tients at the hospital, force them

nurses.
Further action on the budget
will be taken next week.

The returns also may have been
influenced by local conditions, for

Less women say they drink than
do men, as is ordinarily expected,
results paralleling closely the polls
taken by the American Youth
Commission last year. Slightly
less than half of the students in
southern and west central states
say they drink, the only groups
reporting extent of indulgence be
low the 50 percent mark.
Why are collegians opposed to
prohibition? A great number
points to the "last unsuccessful
attempt." Others state, "People
will drink any way," 'You can't
legislate against morals," 'If you
drink the right stuff it won't hurt
you," "When drinking is illegal
young people will try it to be
daring."
Those who would like to see
the amendment come back believe
it would decrease accidents, "there

beings," "We need control, but not
