Ivllh apologies to Pepys) On this fifth day of October of the year of our Lord nine teen hundred and thirty-nine, dear diary, this is our Union building these are our stu dents of the University of Ne braska: Up to the third floor of the Union, uhere Prof. 0. W. (Jray Mas talking before a forum on "Should England Make Peace Now?" 80 inside vec sat, with much idealism and expectancy, and the faculty member ex pressed three ways to bring peace; which, do now, seem logical in this, our day, of crisis. To our friend, also an idealist, who was sitting on our right we commented, surpris ingly so, on the number pres ent ; and we counted to find about 50 interested students and ten members of our fac ulty there. Curious, we left early. So to the outside of the room where we could hear beautiful music and coming from the pi ano in the Union ballroom. So drawing nearer, we asked the remarkable fellow, the name of his song; and we found it to Victor Herbert's "Thine Alone," the word of which, we liked much, went: "So within thy tender arms, enfold me, for thy loss the world could not atone." So we looked further and found, ironically enough, one single student sleping, Clod bless him. on a soft chair in the ballroom. And so down to the card room; and where we counted thirteen students Irvine their hands at bridge, poker, and pinochle; where strange how these students, who at other times are wise, do now waste Iheir valuable time in contest ing for nothing. And so down stairs to the Corn Crib, and before the stu dent forum upstairs was over. There we found it crowded where students, in a lackadaisi cal frenzy, t romped, jived, quivered, and "uuniphed" like mm TJi i THI TISTCD I N IC roa iviiy pin barbaric cretins (poor fellows) to music from a nickel machine playing, strangely enough again, in those our troubled days of democracy, "My Prayer" with fllen Miller and orchestra. More interested, we counted there and found 96 students (we knew they were all students because of the new ruling) sipping, eating, and en ticing; which we knew because many girls here have a scarc ity of dates, and the boys have not yet, wisely, made their per manent selections. Rut we left. Into the book nook, where we counted five. And there one was reading an Awgwau with much self-amusement, another a Time magazine, another The New Yorker, and over in the corner a student, he must have been doing a little thinking, was reading Tolstoy's "War and Peace," and he was eat ing cough drops. From there to the bulletin board, where reality faced us and said in headlines "Hitler (whom we hate and fear) May Ask Truce in Friday Keichstag Talk." And wc thought, how little students think of serious problems, and civilization, and the problems of the future. So back to our office, much in chagrin and despondency, to write this.
