Nation's youth . . .
a Opposed even

By Joe Belden, Editor
Stadeat Opinion Survey! ( America.
AUSTIN, Tex. Feb. 15. While
the youth of Europe marches off
to the battle .fronts, American col
lege students stand overwhelm
ingly opposed even to the mention
of compulsory military service in
the United States.
This Is revealed in a coast-to-coast
poll conducted by the Stu
dent Opinion Surveys of America,
results of which show that 81 per
cent of the men and women , at
tending the nations colleges an
universities are against requiring
"every able-bodied American boy
20 years -old to go into the" arm
or
navy for one year."
College men opposed
The poll was taken using a
scientific cross-section that in-

the collegians declared v themselves
for R. O. T. C. training on the
campus, 4 percent more men than
women giving their approval. Of
those approving, however,, 58 per

tople of trained intellect must solve
1 these problems." He remarked that
f most alumni are too far away to
observe University changes and
that it is easy to offer advice.
"Perhaps we have too complete a
sense of ownership," he observed.
Needs stronger graduate school.
Stressing the importance of a
fitrong graduate school with funds
for research, Brownell said that
Nebraska cannot hold its place
with other schools unless alumni

education." Present taxes
'are not enough for
scholarly research.
Overlapping of colleges, if they
do overlap as shown by the Ne
braska Educational Survey, must
be eliminated, he said. He dis
cussed also the possibility of
junior colleges taking part of the
burden from the University.
"Alumni will be more willine to
assist the University when they
know that a careful plan is being
followed," Brownell remarked.
"They cannot outline the details
but they will approve of the plan.'
Predicts division of work.
The dividing of graduate' re
search work among various schools
in each region may occur in the
Xuture, according to Brownell.
Recalling his acquaintance with
Nebraska faculty members, thru
his father, Brownell paid tribute
to the faculty members who have
maintained the University's renu
tation for scholarship and to the
public for us support.

these affairs." In other words, do
we need more big name bands?
Ken Ebsery, Biz Ad, Jr.
I think as rule the bands that
the University have had at their
large dances stink. However, I
think Pinky Tomlin is O. K.
Barbara Stewart, Teachers, Frosh
I think they have been good but
they could be better. I wish they'd
loosen up and give until it hurts
for a really top name band.
Jim Bell, A & S, Frosh
I believe as large as this school
is and the way students support
bands that do come here makes
it evident that students want top
ranking bands. There would be a
sell out if Glenn Miller came here.
Bob Rothwell, Ag college Senior
I don't believe we get our
money's worth for the amount of
money paid, the we should rate
Herbie Kay or Clyde McCoy.
Ruth Brickell, Teachers Soph.
They are O. K. but they could
be a lot better.
Jo Duree, A & S, Soph:
It is immaterial to me whether
or not the band has a momentous
name, as long as it can play dance
able music.
Molly Woodward, A 4 S, Jr:
At Dartmouth they had Fred
Waring for the whole weekend.
Over his program on Friday night
at the beginning of their carnival
he dedicated his whole program to
the singing of their college songs.
If a private college can have
cood orchestras, why can't a state
university? Donna Dae (Rae
Cooper), his singer, is a Lincoln
girl, too.
Chris Petersen, A A S Soph:
Outside of Pinky Tomlin, who
plays for Interfraternity Ball, the
bands that come to tne univer
sity. ..
Frank Vette, Eng., Jr:
They suit me O. K. Considering
the few occasions we have for
bands.
Virginia Chambers, A & S, Frosh
I think we should have a book

better bands. Even Iowa and
Ames get better ones than we do

essay contest

A world wide essay contest is
being held this year by the Society
for International Cultural Rela
tions in commemoration of the
2,600th anniversary of the found
ing of tne Japanese empire. Essays
written of various phases of Japa
nese culture may be submitted by
citizens of any country except
Japan.
Five first prizes and ten second
prizes including trips to Japan
with additional expense money are
offered. Anyone interested in learn
ing more about the conteHt may
obtain the rules and additional
material in the DAILY office.
Is able to permit audiences to look
around the room and see the other
people there. Effects that will es
tablish a scene such as the coal
mine, a lunch wagon, or a hospU
tal are projects that Stevens espe
cially enjoys working out.
"In the early days of radio,"
Stevens said, "there were just
three types of musical associations
fast, slow and indefinite. Now
we've gone far beyond that since
a vast audience by listening to the
radio has learned to accept more
complicated and intricate composi
tions. At the University of the South,
each junior elected to Phi Beta
Kappa is given a $100 scholarship.

Keep the wolf
from the door
by education
By Jean Sanders.
The United States office of edu
cation states that 99 percent of
the women and 98 percent of the
men who have attended college
have never been on relief.
Students everywhere wonder as
the time approaches when they
are to receive degrees, If four
years in college have been worth
the sacrifices of time and money.
Does the fact that college edu
cated men and women have been
able to stay off relief prove that
a college education pays?
Some are fortunate to work up
and eventually maintain high
salaried positions with executive
power. This does not always hap
pen, however, and many graduates
continue year after year in the
same jobs, unable by the very na
ture of the position to work up.
They are kept from looking for
better positions by family ties and
financial insecurity. Many of these
jobs are ones which they could
have filled without the academic
knowledge of their college educa
tion, which tends to make them
look back upon their college life
as a needless waste of money and
time.
At Texas Lutheran college, 50
percent of the student body mem
bers are relatives of former stu
dents of the college.
