To These Who Have Contributed
' ' One wonders how a man can crowd so much into a life
program, not neglect duty, yet do his work efficiently and
effectively . . . The boundaries of one's world are set by his
limitations of vision, experience and knowledge. As each is
increased, his horizon recedes, and his world enlarges. Dr.
Barbour's scope of influence on his students, now scattered in
useful occupations all over the world, brings back upon him a
part of the honors they attain. Dr. Barbour lives in a large
world, and his influence is immeasureable."
So wire spoken last woek tom-hing words of praise for Dr.
K II. Harbour, our own "Father of Paleontology." Those words
of credit were fjiven a man whose hard, insistent work since
coming here in 1891 has been rewarded with the building of the
largest university museum in America, with national renown in
ireoloirical circles, and with many contributions to the field of
his interest.
Nebraska has had many like Dr. Harbour so instilled, in
spired, and innoculated with the merits and ideas of betterment
of their institution. Nebraska, like any institution or organiza
tion, has had those who have contributed and can look back on
a work well done.
As members of the Innocents Society, for example, trekked
onto the football field at Missouri several weeks ago to take
part in a ceremony about the Nebraska-Missouri bell, thoughts
went back to the originator of that traditional occasion. He
wn f'oiH'h Tlenrv V. Sebulte. "Nebraska's errand old man of
sports," who spent the best years of his life making men of
boys. A man whose single motion could mean more than a
dozen words; a friend, a counselor, and a gentleman, "Pa"
Sehultc is another who can sit back and enjoy the satisfaction
of knowing that he was successful.
There are manv. many others. There are memories of those
who have passed on, leaving the results of their work for our
profit. There are those who now are carving their niche in the
wall of success and contribution. Our "Prof of the Week
points to only a few.
Nebraska has many new and young professors full of
ideas for progressive education, the humanization, of learning,
and the like. They have come in to take up where others
have left off. The responsibility is now theirs. Their re
ward, too, will be a host of students whose quest for knowl
edge was stimulated and whose lives were influenced toward
success.
An All-College Peace Front
Stanley Frankel, Daily Northwestern editor, has gainc
eonsidenible renown with his All-College Peace Front organiza
tion of which this paper is a quasi-member. Frankel, as we
know him, is a scholar on international polities. lie suggests
I. We must make students recognize that this war, if the
U. S. enters, will be fought by them. No one will escape the
draft; the "next fellow" will go, but the college student will
go along with him.
II. We must educate students to the fact that in a de
mocracy, public opinion is a potent factor in deciding any
governmental action. We were not dragged into the last
war; we went voluntarily after certain iucidents crystallized
public opinion in favor of our entrance. As college students,
we must do evervthinrr in our power to mold public opinion
in favor of peace and to crystallize it against war now and
when incidents begin to happen.
in. We must remove the defeatist atitude among college
students. We don't have to become involved. There are no
logical reasons why we should go overseas and there are
manv loeical reasons why we should not. We must provide
our readers with arguments and logic to that effect; we must
convince the student that this is not a war for democracy
but for certain materialistic ambitions. These arguments are
those with which the college editor is familiar; he must get
these arguments across to the reader so that the reader, in
turn, can act as a guiding force in molding the public opinion
of those in the outside world with whom he comes into contact.

Little bundles of dynamite, the
size of footballs, are sounng
gently into the North sea, their
fall from low flying German
bombers broken by small white
parachutes. These miniature mines
coupled with renewed activity by
the Nazi U-boat fleet, have sent
24 allied and neutral ships to the
bottom since Vike Francis crossed
the Pittsburgh goal line last Sat
urday.
The British claim that these
mines are magnetic; the fact that
they are not anchored and so are
a danger to neutral commerce
makes their use contrary to Inter
national law. To date the war has
consigned 149 ships, over one-half
million tons, to Davey Jones
locker. Of that number Britain
has lost 80. Japan and Italy have
both suffered losses to the Ger
man sub-seas, a fact which is not
a basis for further love notes from
Rome to Berlin.
Fifty cents a day
The war is costing every person
in England, man, woman and child,
fifty cents a day, with a special
mark down for Christmas if the
proposed armistice for that day is
observed. Such is the price the
British are paying for a war which
has not as yet brought them a
single spectacular victory. Ger
mans can triumphantly celebrate
the sinking of several freighters,
or a Royal Oak, there is a visible
gain; but the British public finds
little excitement in announcements
th.it their blockade has turned
back a number of neutral steam
ers bound for German ports.
Two Englishmen have been
seized for alleged implication in
the beer cellar bombing which al
most caught the German chancel
lor. The gestapo claims they are
the leaders in the British spy sys
tem in Germany.
An American returning from
Germany announces that he nego
tiated with Russians in Berlin for
the sale of one million barrels of
oil to the soviet to be used in
Siberia. Is this oil to enable Stalin
to aid Hitler without exhausting
the Russian supply of the black
gold? The oil is troubling Ru
mania too. Her government fell
today as German exerted greater
pressure to get more oil at lower
prices from the Balkan state. Ger
many needs an estimated 20 mil
lion tons and Rumania produces
only six million of which the al
ready sells over a million tons to
be used in Nazi tanks and bomb
crs.

I feel sure that it is better to
till little white lies at the right
time. But you do have to be care
ful. Take for instance the case
that I ran into the other night.
Had a date with an apparently in
telligent girl, so tried to make in
telligent conversation. "Do you
read Shakespeare's works?" I
asked in a scholarly fashion. The
littla white lie answer "Oh, yes,
as fast as they come out."
Then there is the matter of
dirty looks. A little soft soap is
the best thing in the world for
them.
Lying definitely has its place.
Rut of course there are limita
tions. Here, we might say that the
sensible man is like a pin when
it cornea to lying. His head will
keep him from going too far.
