Morrill library to house summer's fossil findings Faced with the problem of find ing room for the 100,000 pounds of fossil material excavated from pits i Western Nebraska, Texas, and .Jew Mexico this summer, the university museum is turning its library into a storage and work room. Si: second-floor offices and a recitation room formerly used by the music theory depart ment will be used as a new library for the museum and department of geology. Instructors in music theory and harmony now have offices and classrooms in the school of music Official Newspaper Of More Than 7,00 2408 FKIDAY, OVER THERE Baltic states and Russia yet question Hitler's acts now need Stalin's stamp approval believe commentators LATE. After four days of negotiations, Russia has concluded a "mutual assistance and trade agreement pact" with tiny Estonia. Included in the treaty are provisions for the leasing of several small Estonian islands to serve as Russian naval bases and sites for airdromes. Russia's need for the assistance of Estonia is due to the little coun try's strategic position, not to the fighting strength of its 1,116,000 people. By Woerner and Steel. What is to happen to the Bal tic states? An anxious world is demanding the answer and deep in each nation's "mind" lies the fearsome question "What is Rus sia Doing?" Are Hitler and Stalin uniting to force England and France to make peace with the threat of the combined armies? Still to those who are studying the situation, Russia appears to have more to gain by watchful waiting and localized action along the Baltic and in the Balkans than by tremendous committments that would carry her far into western Europe. Then too. there is a report that increased Russian interest in these areas is "causing concern" in Berlin. Will Stalin irk Hitler. Without question Hitler's actions in the east must now meet the ap proval of Stalin before the hither to unchecked fuehrer can move, which may irk that' worthy some what. Long range angle of the Russo-German relations is that Russia's advantage does not lie in Germany at its front door grow ing ever increasingly strong. Warsaw was supposed to have capitulated Wednesday, according to the German high command, but now Berlin announces that sur render will come Friday. Polish confirmation of that statement leaves little doubt that the last spark of Polish resistance to the nazi war machine has collapsed. Leads forum ably.

Psychologists say that it Is natural for humans to want some thing they cannot have. It is not uncommon to hear a girl say that she wishes she were a man either because of the males superior physical abilities or because of building. With their removal from the entire northwest corner of the second floor, the museum also has sufficient room to construct an up-to-date vertebrate paleontolog ical laboratory. Bones brought back Additional storage space now made available will enable the museum to bring back to the cam pus several truck loads of fossil material, which for the last sev eral years have been placed in downtown bins. Thousands of pounds of bones will still be stored See BONES, Page 3. & it SEPTEMBE Nebraskan to bring news via air lanes Radio staff will present first program Monday at 1 1 p. m. over KFOR The secret Ambition of many a past NEBRASKAN editor has fi nally been realized with the allot ment of time over radio station KFOR for a DAILY NEBRAS KAN news program intended to deal with every phase of life on the university campus.

To present only highlights. Ed Cooper and Jon Pruden will share the double task of news edi tor and announcer. They will pick out the highlights of the day's news on and about the university for the consumption of those who tune in to keep in tune with events. June Bierbower, the NEBRAS KAN'S nationally known sports editor, the only coed ever known to hold that position, will bring to late listeners the latest devel opment in sports. During the foot ball season, she will give the real dope on N. U.'s ambitious grid- sters. Later she will cover basket See RADIO NEWS, Page 3. Winnaker discusses question of American participation in raging European conflict ' "Will American public opinion, so strongly in favor of England and France, drive us into the present war, or is the disillusion ment with war now prevalent in the United States so strong that it will keep us out?" were ques tions discussed by Dr. R. A. Win naker at the first of the weekly man's comparative freedom of ac tion. Not until a few years ago has the opinion that the woman's place 4s in the home been some what disregarded.

Considering each bottle to be of Start of new decade, 1940 annual theme Cornhusker to use brown ink on cream paper for first time "Ten years, the end of an old decade and the start of a new," will be the theme of the 1940 Cornhusker, according to an an nouncement made yesterday by Orval Hager, editor. In harmony with the theme, sev eral innovations will be intro duced into the annual. For the first time at any institution, the entire annual will be printed in brown ink on ivory paper. Brown ink will be used because it will show up better giving the book warmth and the illustrations clarity. A specially prepared shade of red ink will be used for the secondary color. To 'type' students. "Memo on 1940," the opening section of the book, will contain pictures of the year's most im portant events. In addition, this section will contain pictures of the "types found on the campus. Cornhusker classification of these "types" is divided into "thinkers," honor students; "do ers," activity leaders; "mentors," professors; "lobbies," politicians; "muscles," athletes, workers, hob bies; and "society," the smoothies. The volume will be divided into three books: university, activi ties and organizations. Included in the university division will be See CORNHUSKER, Page 4. forums in the Union westerday afternoon. Speaking on "America and the European War," Dr. Winnaker first listed the factors which are tending to lead us into war. The strongest of these is public senti ment, sentiment against Hitler, against his political philosophy Sleepy heads! would you like a 6:30 class? "Eight o'clock classes are unfair to students." "Eight o'clock classes were never meant to be attended anyhow." In the past these utterings have been heard . again and again by sleepy-eyed students. Much pity has been lavished those attending eight o'clocks, yet their fate could be much worse. Investigation reveals that geol ogy 250 meets on Saturday morn ings at 6:30 and continues through out the day until about 7 in the evening. The class consists of field trips which are intended to give all geology students practical expe rience in their work. Bierbower makes news in 'Strange As It Seems' Again Miss June Bierbower, DAILY NEBRASKAN snorts edi tor, is In the news, this time in John Hix' column, Strange As It Seems.

Regler has taken approximately 705 bottles from drinkers at the stadium during the last three years. Roughly this is about 88 gallons of liquor that non-ab-stainers had planned to guzzle, The large number of students who dine at the Union can only put away 50 gallons of milk per day. If this alcohol were paint, sim pie mathematics will tell us that we could give a double coat to an ordinary sidewalk that is 52 blocks long. Or we could paint a 45 foot wide path from the corner by the administration building to the 12th Street entrance of the stadium. However, if you are not inter ested in painting streets, you could buy a pretty nice new road ster that would interest you. If you want a new radio instead, the $705 that the alcohol cost could buy nine large radios. 1,277 pounds. By placing the bottles on end we would have a stack nearly See HICCUP, Page 2. Schooner lists 5 Nebraskans among writers Brief biographies of 20 contributors from 1 2 states in first issue The Prairie Schooner; univer sity literary magazine, appears today in the first of its four is sues of the year. Twenty contributors represent ing 12 states are listed in the table of contents of the issue. Dr. L. C. Wimberly, professor of Eng lish, is editor of the magazine.

The Prairie Schooner is now in its thirteenth year of publication. and his present "Napoleonic vogue.'' Dr. Winnaker said that the feeling seemed to be that the allies had done well in trying to stop Hitler, and that Hitler was to blame for the present situation. War fatalism. Next he listed the precedent of the previous war, and the present fatalistic attitude that sooner or later we shall become involved anyway, because we will not be able to stay out. Third, Dr. Winnaker listed what he called the "presidential enig ma." "The president seems to be less neutral in his actions and speech than was Wilson in 1914." As examples Dr. Winnaker listed the holding of the Bremen, the increase of the tariff on German goods, and various verbal "spank ings" of the Nazis. Such a provocation as the sink ing of the Alhenia only two days after the war started, whereas in 1914 it was nine months before the first American life was lost," was listed as an important factor tending to involve us. Communi cations, tying us much more close ly to Europe, and improved trans portation facilities may help to draw us into the conflict, accord ing to Dr. Winnaker. Americans disillusioned. On the other hand there is the present American disillusionment with wars which settle nothing, disgust over non-payment of war debts, and didicule at such slogans as "Make the world safe for de mocracy.''
