She Never Did! Can She Be . . . mi m wi eight months Major Hampton un wnere, un wnere Wilson, of the East, searched for Josie. He looked, and he looked, and lie looked. Like Sherlock of A Conan Doyle's fiction, he looked for every clue that might lead to Josie 's activities and descriptions. This man this detective from the Last visited "0 colleges and universities. He spent government money which might otherwise have lieen used for rearmament. He came to the Nebraska campus, called Dean 1. J. lhompson and others into his confidence, talked, and dis appeared this man from the Last. Josie was not here. Unlike Friday of Daniel Defoe's literary masterpiece. Josie left no footprints in the sands of our campus. What's more she was never here. . . Josie was a f!od-fcarless soul diseased with A rrostltute the toxins of communistic thought. She of Demoerarv smfllol of un-Amcrieanism, sipped of racial prejudice, and eked out her hare existence with propositions to our intellectual freedom, democratic hcri tage, American unity, and civil liberties. Her very essence was cunning, mystery, suspense. Herself, she was pockmarked by the ravages of trust, reason, morals, and patriotism. That was this Josie for whom the man from the Last sought. Josie wasn't here. In more benign language, Josie was communism, her methods propaganda. And yesterday her affairs and cavort ing on the campuses and in the school rooms of our coun try were presented in the form of a committee report for Martin Dies and his group of legislators, who, among other things, are finding their investigation a good means of gain ing favorable publicity. Maj. Wilson told the impartial pub lic press that "in practically every institution of higher learn ing and in many city high schools it was found that the Amer ican Student Union was the agency used in spreading com munism." And more: "It invariably gets representation on the school paper, if not fall control." uNw.0Fsaou.ir, PtAYED 18 HOLES tAJ it, VA W frAxW OF GOLF -ONE N , iW M VU W each of cities .

Another tabloid ...has entered the college field, this time, the Minnesota Daily which permanently adopted the five column format recently after a favoring vote of 3f to 2 by its 16,000 readers. Reasons giv en for the change: Departmental ization of the news; facilitation of make-up: and of course greater convenience in reading and han dling, especially during classes. Subsidization ... of football got the upper hand at Illinois when over 50 per cent of 1 .003 students interviewed by the Daily lll.ni voted yes on the question. "Do you thing the Illinois football team should be subsidized?" Somewhat less than half favored an open policy of subsidization of athletes and only 432 thought that a university could have outstanding teams without subsidization. Men were more strongly In clined toward a policy of subsi dization than were women, an at titude explained by the I Mini as due to "the more practical atti tude of the male toward money matters" in contrast to the "sen timental viewpoint of the female." Our curiosity ...was keenly whetted by a story that appeared recently in the North Carolina Daily Tar Keel to the effect that all copies of the November issue of the Euccaneer, campus humor magazine, had 00000 LNC.FI I( U sTI DFVrs V r A A : "T'" i.i.j;ic.,i.c, k;"t,hiX ScAnpL QhoniL li v,,,:r h,e ii spf.ikrr, Rev. i ri J. j 7 ' Student Council. What the offend- jQQChris Peterson On the Mailing List The American Student Union, like many other organizations with patriotie-sounlinr miniekers, has had hy its own volition the DAIIY'S name on its enormous mailing list. Its mimeographed pages and all other pamphlets hit the waste basket simultaneously with publicity releases. Representation or control of this student paper hy that group is as much follv as the un-American activities themselves and, perhaps, their investigations. Furthermore, there are no organizations on the Nebraska campus fostering thoughts of membership into this organization. If there were, we would Le the first to point them out. Communism, however, has its place. It has its place as a form of government, but not ours. It has done wonders, with the aid of counter-propaganda in arousing American people to thought and a stronger patriotic Amerieansim. u It has aided education because when anything does It Ha$ not seem right in this country of ours, we start in Hs Place vost'Sating our educational system. "When we start investigating that system we discover gag laws and other forms of political and financial interference not com monly associated with "red." The threat of communism and propaganda in America, if there is any real threat, has awak ened our people to the search of truth, and knowing it, they can give light to others incapable of logical processes. Election returns prove abundantly that the communist are an insignificant minority among our people. How then, can it possibly be said that they dominate almost all liberal groups? If they did so, it would be a reproof not to them but to the indolence and indifference of their opponents. Polit ical control of an organization by a reactionary or radical mi nority is always due to the lethargy of the majority. We are thankful we live in this sector of the country, where we have no immediate fear of bombardment from the air, where we are alien to much of the "anti" activity mentioned in the East and West, where we have little racial prejudice, and where there is a picture of Washington in most every elemen tarv and secondary school room. We are thankful, too, that this is the University of Ne braska, where Josie will never set foot. To the Editor: Really, sir, this campus is com ing to an awful something or other. Red Nichols and his or chestra will play at this year's Military Ball... for a buck and a hall a shot. That isn't good eco nomics. Minnesota has hired Clyde Mc Coy. Nebraska students will dance this year anyway, if they all feel like we do, because there will be plenty of room to dance. No doubt. most of the officers will go, be cause they go for six bits, which isn't too little to ask for Red Nichols. Why, Dusty Rhoades Is a better bandsman than "small change." Two years ago the Military Ball showed a profit of about $700, ! aK inVi oin'l Vnv This iioiii tVr ! ball will not a lot less than that, I'll wager... in fact it'll net J1.50 les3 that I know of. So three bravados for the dead ball committee and a couple of tears for this campus' formal opener. To arms, formal goers, maybe King will have Nat Towles that night... you won't have to wear a stiff collar either. Disgusted. Correspondent (Continued from Tage 1.) on the face In the explosion in the beer cellar following Hitler's speech, entered the well-filled res taurant of my hotel it caused quite a stir." j Munich was completely blacked out as was Berlin, according to De Wolf,' but somehow the cab driver who took him to Hofbrauhau3 seemed to find sufficient light from his blackened headlights to keep on the road and miss fre quent telephone poles and fences. On the train bound for Itala, Dc Wolf noticed that 'Hell Hitler's" became less frequent and conver sation was almost totally lacking In the train compartments. Despite an uneventful trip Do it the old fashioned way? I don't know. Take for instance this bit of eating etiquette as it was published in the Fremont papers in ISPS. NowaJays, Eiv.ily Post says "no. "Biscuits should be opened with the fingers. In extreme caos an ax is permissible. "Never pick your teeth at the table. You'll find a better assort ment at the dentists. "Don't rattle your knife and fork. The napkin ring will be found more musical. "Always eat soup from the sHe of the spoon. The inside is the proper one. "Game should never be taken in the finders unless of course it is a card game. "Do not reat your arms on the table. Stack all your weapons ir. the corner before dinner. "Never eat pie with a knife. It's all rij.ht to eat cheese with pic, but knives should be eaten a!one." across Germany the Omahan de clared that the pure sense of ease which he experienced when he crossed the border into Italy wa3 delightful in itself. injr magazine had contained was mysteriously hinted at by the Tar Heel which quoted the president of the student body as follows: "...it was judged that such an issue would seriously and perma nently damage the reputation and lessen the prestige of the univer sity in general." Another occasion ...on which name-band-conscious students got a raw deal oc curred on the Louisiana State campus at Baton Rouge where, re ports the Daily Reveille, "Ishr.m Jones came to conduct what every one though was Isham Jones' or chestra," for a fee of $1,500. How ever, studcnts-Eoon discovered that many cf the men playing in the onhestra were members of a band at Southern Methodist university. Engaged to play for Friday and Saturday night in the gymnasium armory. Leader Jones, according to the Reveille, failed to show up Saturday. v Too often students have paid to hear a nationally known band, only to find a hastily recruited group of musicians playing under the baton of a "front" man, the leader being the only one of the original orchestra to show up. At tempts have been made to dcvLie contracts forestalling such actions, and the recent proposal to estab lish a central band booking agency on the Nebraska campus, will also help to assure students of getting their music dollar's worth. e 1 G0BNG HOME?
