What five books would you like
most to own ? Sixteen campus big
wigs faced with this problem In
dicated as most popular Shake
speare, the Bible, an encyclopedia,
a dictionary, and "Gone With the
Wind."
Five peoplt chose the Bible and
Shakespeare, and three, the other
books. Opinion about other books,
most desirable to own, was widely
divided with 48 other books men
tioned, as well as the 1940 Corn
husker. Jim Selzer chose the dictionary,
"Gulliver's Travels," "Treasure
Island," Poe's Short Stories, and
O'Brien's "Selected Short Stories

KncvcloDedia Britannica. "Gone
With the Wind," "Last of the Mo

Marg Krause was individual in
her choice: "The Arts," by Van

Poetry, and Bob Benchley's "From

Said Mary Anna Cockle, "I'll
take 'How To Get Your Man And
Hold Him, anr ' if that doesn't
work give me Live Alone and
Like It."
Gerald Spahn proved his intel
lect, at least to the casual eye,
by choosing Karl Marx works,
"Anthony Adverse," "Mary, Queen
of Scots," Spinoza's "Philosophy,"
and "Public Opinion in a Democ
racy." Leonard Friedel followed a more
pomilar consensus by choosing
Slfkespeare's Complete Works, O
Henry's short stories, "Anna
arenina," and "Madame Bovary."
Learn to dance.
Mary Kline too, chose the Bible,
Shakespeare, "How to Dance in
Ten Easy Lessons," Poe's short
stories, and "Les Miserables.
Said Orval Hager, "Just give
me five copies of the 1940 Corn-
husker."
Publications were also popular
with John Mason, who chose as
ilia five books, a volume of the
,wgwan, the Bible, Shakespeare's
complete works, Greek and Latin
Claries in translation, and "Rob
Inson Crusoe."
I Beth Howley chose the Bible,
'Gone With the Wind," Plato's
complete works, the complete
Philosophy of Nietsche, "How to

pie," and "Live Alone and Like It."
Columbia Encyclopedia, Rupert
Ercoke's complete poems, the
works of Tlato, complete works of
Homer, and "The Forsythc Saga,"
were the books Charles Oldfather
would like most to own.
Are there five books?
Irv Sherman, denying that he
knew the names of five books,
came through with four, Poe's
short stories, O. Henry's short
stories, Book of Knowledge, and
the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Short stories were also popular
with Shirley Russel, who chose

Protection for
of Annas in war torn Europe
Thirty years ago, a young Polish
girl, Anna, sailed for the United
States to be wed in Lincoln, Ne
braska, to a Polish boy who waited
for her. Anna could not speak
one word of English but she was
eager to learn and she was brave.
She endeared herself to kindly
neighbors in Lincoln, and it was
at one of their homes that Anna
was married. She has now learned
English and has adopted American
customs, and she has raised a large
family of good, healthy American
boys and girls. Her first grand
child is two years old. Anna is a
valuable American citizen.
When Anna left Poland she also
left all her relatives. She never
will see her mother, her father, oi
any of those dear relatives again,
but that was something she could
not foresee when she sailed to the
United States. Her father and her
sister's husband was killed in the
first World war. Anna continued
to write the widowed mother and
sister, and followed through cor
respondence, the growth of the
sister's only child, a son.
Black-edged letter.
About a year ago, a black-edged
letter came from the sister that
the mother was dead. The sister's
boy grew up and was graduated
from a University. He grew up
just in lime to lose his life in the
present World war. Communica
tion with what was Poland is now
forbidden and all that Anna knows
is that with the partition of. Po
land, the farm of her family was
confiscated. She believes all her
Russia and Germany divided
Poland without punishment, but if
two states of the United States set
about to partition a third state, the
whole national government would
protect the unfortunate third That
is the way the world is obligated
to protect any country, such as Po
land, from the attacks of any one
or more other countries.
The difficulty in applying this
theory, however, lies in the lack of
a satisfactory world government.
Hut the theory is sound. Progress
is slow but in surne fu'.ure time,
the families of other Annas will be
given the protection they have a
right to expect.
relatives are dead. Her grief is
inexpressible. No one in the year
1939 deserves the loss she has
sustained.

1200 teachers place
applications with state
employment service
"Twelve hundred teachers have
filed applications for placement to
date with the Nebraska State Em
ployment Service which is entering
its third year of service," accord
ing to Harry Bane, director. At
the present time the credentials of
over 2,000 teachers are on file for
consideration with this service.
When an opening is reported
the group examines the creden
tials on file and sends three or four
of the best qualified applicants
available at the salary offered to
the school where the opening
exists. Co-operative relations with
other states are in effect so that
Nebraska teachers have a much
wider opportunity for advance
ment. This service is free.

rapidity and ease that once they
used to travel short distances
within a country. A desirable
citizen obeying immigration regu
lations should take no greater
step in moving from Europe to
America than a citizen moving
from Maine to Nebraska. The
world is no longer large. Changing
location should no longer mean
saying "Goodbye forever!" to all a
person has known and loved. If
Anna were to return today to Po
land, she should not find a country
torn by two wars, her ancestral
property confiscated, and her rela
lives dead in war.
No God given right.
No government and no man has
the right to bring destruction and
grief to any people and to confis
cate their property. Doing so
should bring unmediate punish
ment. All men. regardless of
nationality, are fellow-men in a
small world, and insurrection in
any part should be considered as
an offense against the whole
world.
Student Pulse
To the Editor:
Can't some system of clothes
and book checking be established
in the larger buildings on the
campus? With the great influx of
boots, fur coats, and what-have-you
during these cold spells a
majority of the seats are so clut
tercd up that it is almost impos
sible to find one in the larger
classes.
No elaborate checkroom is
needed. Just a one room affair
with a goodly number of coat
hangers and an attendant per
haps an NYA worker to prevent
filching and thievery. This would
mean an accommodation for the
students and a job for someone.
The necessity of such service Is
most evident in Andrews and So
cial Sciences where hundreds of
students gather at one time. In the
larger high schools such a plan
has been initiated where there are
from 500 to 1,000 pupils. If it can
work in the smaller schools why
can't it work here ?

Cornhusker quintet travels
to meet Iowa State tomorrow
for season's final road game
Nebraska's basketball team,
which travels to Iowa State for
its next to the last game of the
season Saturday night, can feel
certain of at least a tie for fourth
place if they come through with
a victory at Ames. It is the Husk
ers' last out-of-town game.
The Huskers, heartened by their
61-28 victory over Kansas State,
and the return of Don Fitz and
Harry Pitcalthlcy to active duty,
as well as the sensational scoring
performance turned In by Bud
Tallman against the Wildcats, are
out for blood.
Iowa State gave Kansas Uni
versity a close call in the game
between those two teams early
this week, and the Cyclones have
been improving in the final stages
of the season. The Huskers won
when the two teams played here,
44-28.
Nicholas returns.
The Ames team has been aided
by the return to form of Gordon
Nicholas, center, who slumped in
the early part of the season. Bob
Harris, Btar forward has not hit
his last year's scoring form yet,
but is still in the Ames lineup.

ties, and slept in back rooms of
plumbing shops.
He forgot to come back.
As a sailor, he did all right until
he forgot to get back to his ship.
He came home in the brig of an
other vessel. To while away the
tedious hours he recited every
thing he could remember.
That experience fired his idea
for dramatics, and his career for
the past ten years runs the gamut
from Eva La Galliene repertory,
stock, barn shows, group theater,
Hollywood, Broadway, and radio.
Today he doesn't have to work
so hard any more. His home near
Nyack is so constructed that no
two rooms are on the same level
even his guests must have their
ups and downs.

Fitz and Pitcalthlcy will prob
ably be back in the Huskcr open
ing lineup together for the first
time in several weeks. Pit was a
power all over the floor against
K-State, and may get back his
starling forward position from Irv
Yaffe, who has been scoring well
recently, but who is too small to
go the route.
Tallman Is certain to start at
one forward after his Tuesday
night performance, and Al Ran

will be at center. Sophomore star
Sidney Held, leading conference
scorer for Nebraska, will complete
the lineup.
