Editor-in-Chief Richard deBrown Business Manager Arthur Hill (Oditorialitj Speahiny Nebraska again enters National Spotlight in person of Bettie Cox Bettie Cox goes to Galesburg next week and the University of Nebraska wins national recog nition by having one of its coeds selected as one of the twelve in the United States to compete in the finals for the title of Ail-American Col lege Queen. Congratulations are due first, of course, to Bettie for carrying the university banner so suc cessfully and ably. But quite as much in order for congratulations Is the entire school, for without its backing there could have been no such success. Interest in the progress of Nebraska's candidate has been high since the beginning of the contest, sponsored on campus by the DAILY, and when copies of Movie and Radio Guide magazine were placed on sale in the Union last week, more than 175 copies were sold in two days to students anxious to cast their ballots in favor of Bettie Cox. All of this support has brought its rewards now, not the least of which is the discrediting of that floating impression among Cornhuskers that when it comes to national recognition and publicity the University of Nebraska is usually left out. To those scoffers who said, "It can't happen here" and refused to take the contest seriously so far as Nebraska's chances of placing a winner were concerned, the DAILY dons a pleased grin and says, "Ah, you see!" To all of its readers it suggests watching the university take this latest move into the national spotlight NAZIS SiVlASH AHEAD. The Germans, as they announce, are on the "Road to raris," and the next few days will indi cate whether the allies are capable of halting that drive. Most striking success of the past day's fighting has been the German capture of the French town of Sedan. With amazing speed the German drive that gained momentum as it moved through Belgium swept into Sedan, which is at the outer edge of the fixed French defense positions. All signs point to a gigantic struggle which should take place within the next few days along the line from Sedan to Namur. If the allied forces are un able to halt the Germans along this line the nazi mechanized divisions will doubtless hammer at the "Little Maginot" line between Sedan and Lille in an attempt to force their way into the north French plains. Once in this flat country Hitler's latest drive would be as unstoppable as it was in Poland. Perhaps that is hardly an apt comparison, for cer tain German officials, pointing to the east with which their forces have driven through Holland and Belgium, assert that the Poland "dress rehear sal" may prove to be more difficult than the actual performance In the Low Countries. Holland apparently faces no alternative other than defeat The Germans claim to have driven a wedge between Belgium and Holland, with the spearhead of the drive having reached Rotterdam. If the report is authentic, and the nazi advance col umns have established contact with the German troops landed by air in Rotterdam, there is no pos sibility of the Allies bringing aid by land to the beleaguered Dutch defenders. Mussolini meanwhile has been offering the Al lies little comfort. While he may not have at pres ent made up his mind that he should jump into the conflict, he is even less inclined to do anything which will give the worried Allies the least bit of comfort. Just at present it is not il duce as much as the Italian people who keep the saber rattling. Yesterday Italian students burned British and French flags in front of the British legation. They were congratulated by a fascist official in uniform for their "magnificent demonstration" and for their "war cry." He coupled this with a statement that Italy would never remain a prisoner In the Mediter ranean. Worry of American officials as to the course Mussolini might take is mirrored In the ad vice given by the American legation that all Amer icans should leave Italy unless urgent business kept them there. with a fresh swell of pride at being a part of an institution whose members go places and do things! Grad scholarship filings close today Students must file for the $500 graduate college scholarship by May 15, if they are to be eligible for the award, according to a statement from Dean Stoke's of fice.
