DAILY amlmed editorials are the nnbilnn of the editors. Their views or opinion In no way reflect the atti tude of the administration of the university. liforialiif Spealiint THE ALUMNUS MAGAZINE AND THE UNDERGRADUATE Under the capable editorship of Ralph Reeder, the Nebraska Alumnus magazine has been get ting better and better, and the current February issue commemorating the 71st anniversary of the University's charter is the best we have seen yet. Yet it is doubtful if more than a handful of stu dents ever see the Alumnus, which brings up the question of "When is the best time to make a good alumnus, before or after graduation 7" Quite obviously all good alumni are a result of their experiences while undergraduates, and in the magazine the University has an excellent instru ment for educating students to appreciate the broad scope of this institution which extends beyond grad uation day. So why not "make the Alumnus avail able to undergraduates without cost? The maga zine contains material not duplicated in any other publication and material which should interest per sons now connected with the University quite as much as those who have left its portals. In other words, why not awaken the interest of undergraduates now by means of this excellent publication instead of waiting until they have severed all active connections with he school? The cost of such a move should prove a wise in vestment by producing a more compact and loyal alumni group later. "Educators thruout the nation may have sound reason for confidence in the sensibleness of present day university student. All of the intet national and national political and economic jargon which they hare heard outside the classroom, and perhaps in a fete classrooomn, ha caused them to lose faith in opportunities for careers in existing American enterprises and profession, nor hare they been at tracted by the bonanza of government debt or private borrowing a an educational aid. Dean C. W. Acker man of Columbia university''s journalism school, as serts his faith in the college youth of the nation. IS IT NEUTRALITY? The senate Tuesday passed a bill Increasing the Export-Import bank's capital by 100 million dol lars, in preparation to lend Finland and China money to fight their enemies. The bill fixed the bank's capital at 200 million dollars and author ized it to make non-military loans of 20 million dollars each to Finland and China. Approval by the house is expected early. Opposition to the bill, led by Senators George and McCarran, charged that this bill is an unneu tral act, is the prelude to loans by the United States to England and France, and is the initial act in the involvement of the United States in the European war. The success of Finnish resistance to date makes it seem likely that with American and European aid Finland can hold the Russians. . .until when? un til nations strong enough to defeat Russia ally themselves with Finland. Many believe that con tinued war in Europe will make the U. S. this na tion. The longer fighting continues on two fronts the greater is the likelihood the wars will merge into one titanic struggle. Evidence to this includes the very recent Russo-German trade pact and Angle French aid to Finland. The fiercer the fight in Eu rope the harder it is for the U. S. to keep out of war. If we are firmly resolved to stay out of war, the only sensible thing to do is to refrain from giving direct aid to any belligerent. If, on the other hand, we are convinced that the "democracies" are fight ing for freedom, humanity, and civilization against the ruthless aggression of totalitarian barbarism, we had best enter the war at once. REPUBLICANS LIKED IT. Former President Herbert Clark Hoover spoke to a packed house at the Lincoln day dinner in Om aha Monday evening. He discussed unemployment, which he characterized as the most serious prob lem facing America today. His speech, primarily a treatment of the economics of unemployment, was enthusiastically received. It has intensified specula tion as to his candidacy for the Republican nomina tion for the presidency. It seems that he would be favorably inclined toward such a call, but that the call will be made seems unlikely. Hoover is back in the type of work In which he achieved worldwide recognition. In the World War he was chairman of the Belgian relief committee; he was in charge of relief for central Europe after the Armistice; he handled relief after the Missis sippi flood in 1D27. Now he is leading the work of succoring the Finns. Despite this glorious background, Hoover's re nomination is improbable. For, to millions of Amer icans he is too closely identified with the onslaught of the great depression beginning in 1029. Rightly or wrongly, they feel the government under Hoover was in larv part responsible for the severity of this depression. IDENTIFICATION PICTVRES.
