THANKSGIVING
has certainly put a crimp in so
ciety; at least it provides a pood
excuse, all the stooges are plan
ning to come back full of news
with formal season opening, and
no hour dances until spring; and
many new combinations to spy
upon. But today all is nil. Mon
day night provided some excite
ment at the Pi Phi house, how
ever, when Maxine Stalons passed
the candy. She is now wearing the
pin of Don DeLano. The candy
passing: was unusual in the fact
that the box of candy was a bank;
the announcement on a bank
statement which read, "In account
with Maxine Stalong at the De
Lano National Bank One Heart."
ALPHA XI DELT
Pris Compsey is going to Holy
oke, Colo.; and Eleanor Collins,
also Alpha Xi Delta, is celebrating
Thanksgiving twice; last week in
Chicago and this week in her home
town, Stapleton.

logical factors producing preju
dice,! think that most creeds and
dogmas are a rationalization of
deeper prejudices. Religion is in
the field of the objectively or
scientifically unprovable of belief,
and everybody else's belief is a
criticism of your own belief.
Bowdern: Now, Mr. Hertzler,
you're giving religion a black eye.
Scientifically objectively what's
that mean. I think we're talking
about the same thing in different
words, but I wish I could get Mr.
Hertzler to use my words.
Fellman: I confess I dont even
understand the question. But since
I m on my feet: 1 was think
ing back to the first instance of
prejudice in my life. The boys on
my street hated the boys on the
other street like thunder. We had
great fights with green apples
over the supremacy of the inter
section dividing the two domains.
This prejudice certainly didn't
have any dogmatic basis. There
are a multiplicity of prejudices

that don't have anything to do
with religion.
I found that the moral ideals
of all religions are about equally
noble. If all Jews were good Jews
they'd be good people. There is
nothing in the Christian religion
itself that I cannot accept whole
heartedly. There is nothing in
creeds or dogmas themselves to
produce prejudice.
I have a vague hunch tnat
were all rather puny, relatively
uneducated people. We have a feel
ing of insignificance a fear and
uncertainty about the future, and
by hating others we somehow ad
just ourselves. The sources of
prejudice are probably found in

animal. The hope, as I see it, is
in understanding one another, in
seeing how much we have in com
mon and how little we differ,
(Applause.)
Seamans: Certainly the fear ele
ment is strong in anti-Jew or oth
er prejudice. It's the "in group-out
group" situation, the feeling that
each group is trying to dominate
the other. We distrust each other's
motives."
Dean Henzlik of teachers college:
Isn't it a question partly of atti

centrating on arguments for "our
side" that we don't listen to all
the evidence which the other side
has to present.?

theses .
Doctorate theses of Nebraska
students appear in the late at is
sues of the two official publica
tions of Ecological Society of
America. Dr. J. H. Robertson, as
sistant instructor in the botany
department, wrote his thesis on "A
Quantitative Study of True Prairie
Vegetation after Three Years of
Extreme Drouth," published in the
October issue of "EcolotH-?l Mon
ographs," which contains longer
articles on ecological studies.
William C. Noll's thesis on "En
vironment and Physiological Ac
tivities of Winter Wheat and
Prairie During Extreme Drought"
waa printed in the October issue
of "Ecology," a quarterly publi
cation. Mr. Noll is professor of bi
ology at York college.
Each of the research projects
represents further investigation in
the field of plant adaptations to
climate under the direction of Dr.
J. E. Weaver, of botany department.

Elizabeth Calloway and Mildred
Copac, fine arts seniors, can com
plete their senior project
The senior project when fin
ished will be a mural for the north

Why is it that with the least effective antiaircraft
system in the world today we are still immune to
attack? A military expert in the Tost this week
reports on our present air defenses, brings j ju
news of the greatest single military secret in the
world today, which allows U. S. pilots (and them
alone) "to drop a bomb accurately into a pickle
barrel from 18,000 feet up"! An important article,
