duct one discussion meeting. The

faculty and the public.

history. He is founder and secre
tary general of the American
Guild for German Cultural Free

First Quarter.
Nebraska kicked off to Minne
sota I think. To tell the truth, I
wasn't paying much attention be
cause a couple of friends came
along unexpectedly and the next
time I looked Nebraska had the
ball somewhere in mid-field and,
anyway, these guys are a couple
of swell fellows, see? Class of '29.
Haven't seen 'em in years and we
had to have a little drink to cele
brate. See how it waa?
Anyway, it was a great quarter
and everybody had a swell time
and I think somebody made a
touchdown but I wasn't sure be
cause Joe lost the bottle like a
clumsy fool and we all had to get
down on our knees and look for it
Second Quarter.
Joe caught the bottle on the 20
yard line. I mean somebody caught
the ball and Joe found the bottle
in his ov'coat pocket where he'd
lew it alia time, see? The crazy
guy. Rohrig caught a pass and Ed

Gov. Harold Stasson of Min

row of Nebraska corn if his
highly-touted Golden Gophers
lost to Nebraska, had better get
a stout pair of husking gloves.
If the governor comes to Ne
braska this fall, a fine row of
Nebraska corn will be waiting
for him.

NEWS COMMENT
In cold pack
ie chances
for peace
BY WOKRNKR AND STKKI.E.
The world has at last received
Hitler's "final" proposal for peace.
The allied section of the earth has
given it a chilly reception and
seems to be preparing to put it in
cold storage for future use.
"Let us talk now. Why fight
first?" asks Hitler.
"How can we trust you now
when the memory of so many of
your broken promises is still vivid
in our minds," replies England,
sometimes referred to by C3Tiics
and folks who won't keep their
noses out of forbidden books as
"perfidious Albion."
Empire builders adept.
Hitler's blundering record is
clear and well known everywhere.
Skillful Britain and France, adept
at the tricks of empire building
after some centuries of experience,
have kept their deed3 under-cover.
Ethiopia, lost to the wolfish desires
of the "modern Caesar," could
point to a deal that French and
British diplomats made with Italy.
Czechoslovakia could tell of
broken French promises to guard
her independence. Italy could tell
of great things the Allies promised
her, but never delivered, if she
would fight on their side in 1916.
Old empires and a new one,
clever liars and a crude one should
find some common ground, but
they are too inclined to judge the
other nation by themselves. Eng
land doesn't trust Germany, she's
too much like herself. And where
is evidence of Hitler's trust?
"In the end it is not so much
the method but the useful result
that counts," states Hitler in re
phrasing the "end justifies the
means" philosophy that has dom
inated his entire course. His goals
are ostensibly, security, economic

"Keep America out of war

"Keep America out of war Is
the sentiment of students of the
university as indicated by the
Daily poll of student opinion which
closed Friday.
Over seven percent of the stu

half per cent of the faculty also
answering. Of the students who
answered, about one third were
girls.
To the question: "Under present
conditions, should the United
States enter the European war as
an active fighting agent? The
opinion was unanimous, 100
answering NO. "If Germany is de
feated in the war, do you think
the spread of the totalitarian form
of government will be prevented?"
On this question 79 of the stu
dents polled answered No.
"Under present conditions, with

should the United States sell
munitions on a cash basis to any
