The DAILY NKRRASKAN Wednesday, November 22, 1939 ( (Cdiloriaffij We Live Our Own Lives We frequently hear criticisms of the so-called "country club", life led here at the university. Recent publicity, A isn't big: news unless it is anti-university, lias magnified those beliefs. These criticisms come from the thousands whom we have left at home people who read their newspapers and have ventured to the campus once or twice for a football week-end. They question the value of the vegetable existence they sec many of us leading here in the idyllic surround in s of .$50,000 fraternity and sorority houses located in this peaceful, over grown country town. Many times Ihey question our freedom. The university man and woman are isolated. They are free- ' 3 from the harsh realities of the outer world from the disaster of the markets that might not open, from the horrors of man destroying himself in the old world, from the feeling of in scurity that comes when a bank account is no longer there. And most of all, sheltered as they arc from these realities, the university man and woman are free free to ponder Plato or drink a glass of beer free to make what he will of his op portunities, free to live the life of his own choosing, be it the "country club" variety or otherwise. Under the supervision of no one but themselves, the Ne braska man and woman get a taste of the real freedom they are to know later. The issue lies squarely with them as to how they shall use it. And so we meet the present criticism that life on this cam pus is a life of ease the "country club" variety with the firm conviction that those who make it so here would do no differently elsewhere; and that all the youth of a generation are getting an opportunity to find out the true stuff they are made of. v "Democracy trill not be sarrj by generations to Europe to fight. To house in the United States. We must gain unity of purpose and solre our pressing problems. All the slogans in the world will not help a useless democracy." Dr. C. A.

A. membership supper will be held at 6 p. m. Thursday torship does not recognize free dom of association or debate, and that men living under dic tatorial governments are dis ciplined units whose only func tion is to obey the commands of their superiors who are in pursuit of a definite end. Explaining the inner logic of totalitarianism, Dr. Fcllman de clared that "A dictatorship state is either engaged in war or is about to do so. It must have an enemy, and if one does not exist, it must be created." The individual and social eco nomic aspects of dictatorships were considered by Dean LeRos signol. He mentioned the little re membered but significant fact that the individual economic needs of agitators and prospective dicta tors encourage ambitious men to gain dictatorial powers in hope of personal profit. Moreover after dictators acquire power they seek to retain it in order to assure eco nomic security for themselves and rtheir followers. The economic condition of the people is closely allied to the rise of dictatorships according to Dean LcRossignol, who declared that. "Lenin and his Eol.sheviks prom ised the soldiers and peasants of Russia land; Mussolini promised liberal benefits to the masses; and Hitler offered similar inducements to all and sundry." In evaluating the economic in fluences exercised by dictatorships he stated that, "All dictatorships have done some economic good but the economic harm they have done outweighs the good." Taking up dictatorships from the historian's standpoint, Profes so Winnackcr called attention to the fact dictatorships vary with the prevailing ideology of the time. Some governments are labeled as dictatorial because of the means used in the rise to power, others because of the means used in the exercise of this power and still others because of the ends for which they use their power. "Similarly," he declared, "the names applied to such govern ments differ. Tyrants and absolute kings arc terms which were used in the past." Discussing the belief that gen- llurryt . . .

The family with its bick ering, its petty strife and its big otry could believably have existed anywhere from Nazareth to Ver mont, if it had been realistically presented. High moments should have been Judah's turning against his favor ite brother, and the scene in the room where the last supper was hold. Judah, however, said in a loud tone, "I hate Him," and the curtain fell on what was supposed to have been a dramatic moment. All together, the drama was a modern interpretation of a middle class family, which might conceiv ably have been the family of Jesus. If this family had been portrayed simply as the author intended, it would have been mar velous, but the cast seemed to be so overawed by the idea of that family of Nazareth that the showed an unconvincing mixture of conventional and modern inter pretation.

"who devotes as much as CO years of his life to his work, as Dr. Ear bour has done, can be anything but a pure scientist." A bronze plaque was presented to the guest of honor at the con clusion of the testimonials. eralizations can be made about dictatorships, the history professor pointed out that even attempts to analyze the conditions surround ing a specific dictator, such as Hitler, are futile. He concluded his address by warning, "In the past dictatorial government has been more pre valent than democratic govern ment, and we must not be content to merely sit back and engage in wishful thinking." The speakers were introduced by Prof. G. W. Cray, of the history department.
