ADMINISTRATION AUTHORITIES and the
campus police are :cported to be considerably vexed
about the way the campus was painted up last Sun
day night with the TNE insignia. Monday night
eome group evidently made an effort to superim
pose a brown donkey's head (also known as a
jackass) over the previous evening's work in what
might be construed as an anti-TNE campaign.
Whatever the purposes of such activity, it seriously
disfigures the campus, in more ways than one, and
authorities are said to be planning drastic action
to stop it and to round up the offenders. Certainly
there seems to be no good reason why they cannot
mid should not do so, since painting parties have
been proven not too difficult to sight. Interestingly
ir.ough, students are beginning to feel as disgusted
about conditions as anyone. They object to having
this insignia smeared not only on sidewalks but on
organized houses, cars, lawn furniture and other
valuable property which has been marred by paint.
Really it does not seem up to students to expose
TN'K, however, since few have any complaint
fiainst its individual members, where known, and
would hesitate to involve them in what might be
ftnotis trouble. The lxst thing, of course, would
U for the organization to quietly and voluntarily
dissolve, although unfortunately this Heems unlikely.
What seems more likely is that the society will
continue to flaunt these brazen ami defiant affronts
to the University until authorities will rightfully
take matters in hand and forcefully abolish it as
tn organization whose activities have never indi
cated that It has any justification for existence.
SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS worth of

us of what must be carved in the consciousness of
every person associated with the University Ne
braska's acute need for a new library building. Some
day it will have that building, but unless it is erected
. soon this institution will have suffered an irrepar
able loss from having had to store valuable books
in places not only unsuitable for such purposes but
absolutely inaccessable as far as permitting any use
of the volumes by student and faculty members.
TONIGHT NEBRASKA STUDENTS will get
what they have been asking for in the way of a big
dance band when Larry Clinton plays at the Student
Union's second anniversary celebration. To say that
the Union management deserves enthusiastic sup
port of the student body in this undertaking ia like
pleading with a small boy to enjoy a large dish of
ice cream for which he has asked, but that is the
truth. All proceeds will go Into the Union activities
fund to bring better entertainment, better speakers,
better educational features to Nebraska students as
they desire them. The most nominal price possible
is being charged for advance tickets. Checking at
the dance will be free and in addition to the attrac
tion of Larry Clinton's music there will be the pre
sentation of the Cornhusker Beauty Queens for 1940
and the annual Delta Phi Delta sketch carnival. In
other words, it is an all-University affair and should
bring out every student who is able to attend Uiis
most gala opening of an important and brillian
week of festivities.

"The invasion of Norway is ab
solutely unjustified," says Prof. L.
B. Orfield of the law college, whose
relatives are now in the war zone.
"Norway was as neutral as she
could possibly be, and there is no
excuse for the Germans entering
her boundaries. Of course, it is un
fortunate that the Norwegians had
not maintained a large army, but
I believe that they will put up a
better fight than -the Danish."
Relatives in Denmark.
Professor Orfield Is especially
interested in the present Kuropean
situation since both he and Mrs.
Orfield have relatives in the heart
of war torn Norway. His cousin,
Miss Uelgfiid Orvin. who has been
chancellor of the Norwegian lega
tion for tho past twenty years, is
among the Norwegian officials
now in Washington, D. C. Since all
communication by letter has boon
cut off from Norway since the
(Jerman invasion, Orfield has not
heard from any of his Norwegian
cousins, but he expec ts to hear
from Miss Orvin in the near future
regarding their fate.
Orfield, whose father and uncle
came to America from Norway,
freely expressed his opinion re
garding the invasion of Norway by
the German army.
Professor Orfield also has an in
terest in the German capture of
Denmark, as he has a few rela
tives in Denmark. His grandmoth
er was there during the German
invasion in 18G4.
Regarding the future destiny of
Norway, Oi field said, "I believe
that Immediately after the war,
Norway should ally herself with
England and France, or, better
still, she should become a part of
Great Britain.
"It would be much better for
the Norwegians to tie themselves
to aome such big country, than to
remain unprotected and be forced
to become a part of a dictator na
tion such as Germany. Of course,
if the nazia win, they will keep
both Denmark and Norway. I
would be very much surprlaed If
Hiey gave them their freedom
again. They would not be likely to
allow them to do what they want
to as the Allies would If they won
England'i position.

Marshall Hiskey, graduate as

present at the convention. Edwin

The $100 award, .which la pro
vided by relatives of the late Mr.
Simon, is given to an outstanding

man class who haa demonstrated
fine qualities of manhood, moral
force, scholastic and athletic abil-
ity.
A committee composed of Dean
Oldfather, Major Lawrence "Biff"
Jones, and Dr. R. D. Scott, athletic
board member, will interview the
applicants and announce the new
winner within the next few weeks.

Some of his relatives still live
there, and he also has cousins
at Bergen and Mo, a little town
near Narvik and Trondheim. Mrs.
Orfield's relatives, are in Stavan

is now the target of one of the
German air raids.
Taylor hits
board report
Superintendent charges
attempt to ruin schools
State Superintendent Taylor
yesterday charged the state plan
ning board with trying to wreck
the whole system of schools Mon
day. Taylor said that the planning"
board's report, which was released
Monday, proposed measures that
would result in increased costs
rather than economy.
"On the whole," Taylor contin
ued, "the planning board is ap
parently trying to tear down the
existing situation such aa normal
schools, the university and the
state department of education."
The state superintendent has a
committee of his own now work
ing on proposed revisions of the
state secondary educational system.
