A letter to Students." written
In September, 1914. by the late
Dr. Hartley Burr Alexander, then
professor of philosophy at the uni
versity, might wew be a ivm mes
ace to students and professors re
turnine- to school. In his message
Dr. Alexander warned that it is
up to the students to prepare
themselves to "bear the light of
culture." He said: "The higher
ivorks of reace. when peace is
restored, will suffer more terribly
than all else. Science, scholarship,
literature, art. these must rive
way to the more pressing needs of
political and economic ana social
reconstruction.

By Art Rivin.
It is quite evident, judging from
recent campus gossip, that the
students have much to say about
last Sautrday'a cheering. We feel
that it is high time some of those
opinions graced the pages of the
DAILY. Therefore, today's ques
tion. Do you believe that organized
Nebraska cheering at the Indiana
game was satisfactory 7
To beerin on an optimistic note
we quote Bob F risen, senior bizad.
Said Bob, "I thought there was
more pep displayed at last Satur
day s game than there was aunng
many of those games played last
year, especially aunng tne nrst
half."
The first rirl on our inquiring
tour of the Union thought that
well, here is what Marilyn Funon,
frosh barb answered: "I think a
lot of hitrh schools do better than
the universitv. The Tassels ana
Oorn Cobs were especially "dead'
for pep organizations."
Tom Drummond, frosh bizad, ex
pressed the views of varsity band
members. "I was in the band and
I think we need more cooperation
between the band and the cheer
ing section. The card formations
should be coordinated with band
formations. That was the most
glaring defect"
Rut in the opinion of Leo
Chandler, frosh barb, the band
should come in for its share of
eriticism. "I don't think the band
played loud enough or even just
enoue-h. I would have likei to

the arts and science college, iu an
interview Saturday.
'China, under the leadership of
General Chiang Kai Shek, can of
fer only minor resistance to the
invaders as it has no access to
either raw materials, or the sea."
The dean leaned back in his chair
and continued, saying that Japan
will in a short time have the east
under full economic control, which,
when organized, will be a aireci
threat to America. Japan can flood
the American markets with its
cheap goods and thereby ruin our
Industries, ne expiainea.
No German trouble.
When Oldfather was asked
whether he believed Japan having
full control over Asia would

culties with Germany, ne answerea
with haste, "I personally dont
think that either nation has at

whole world. It is a task that has
been tried before, but history has
proved that it cannot be done in
one lifetime."
