Wednesday, October 23, 1940 DAILY NEBRASKAN dubfuaL We dare 'cm! After the shellacking given their team by Nebraska's Cornhuskcrs Satur day, Kansas university students, or at least a few of them, have addressed open letters to their chancellor, Deane W. Mallott, asking the university ad ministration to "do something to uphold our honor on the gridiron." Circulated anonymously, probably in the fear that the initiators would be reprimanded, the letter said that "if we can't meet the standards of other schools in the conference. . .let's give up football." Words of wisdom, these. Indeed, the writers must have thought long and carefully before penning them. Yea, they must have investigated, and probed into every angle of football at Kansas and in the Big Six. If they had really stopped to think, they would have come to other con clusions than the ones that led them to write what they did. In the first place, what do these writers mean by "standards?" Ne braska standards are strictly amateur and any time any Jayhawk student would like to ride up and investigate, he will be free to ferret and uncover to his heart's content. Collectively, we don't like the implication. - - QommsmL - - Sidlsdhh Heartening decision The action of the Mexican government Monday in cancelling a large oil concession granted the week previously to Japanese interests should strengthen hemispheric defenses and solidarity if that cancellation was promoted with the honesty and sincerity that the Mexican government claims. Mexico, long suspected of being a hotbed of fascist sentiment and fifth column activity, evidences what seems to be a sincere desire to rid herself of anti-American elements. At least official Mexico announces such a policy. Mexican president Cardenas was quoted as saying his government can-, celled the Japanese grant even though United States firms had refused to sell Mexico's petroleum industry badly needed equipment for the repair of sev erul refineries. If true, Mexico's sincerity can't be seriously attacked. At any rate, the Mexican declaration of fact and policy is heartening. A large country, and one so close to our own, Mexico would be a powder horn of revolt against western world peace if its government became in timidated to fascist influence. Dial Twistings By Morton Margolin AIRY SCRIBBLING. Andy Stinia, the aviator who has New York bumping into itself while watching "I. J. Fox" and "Pepaicola" taking shape up in the air, is scheduled to discuss tho "higher arts" tonight with Fred Allen on the "Texaco Star Thea ter" program over KFAB at S p. m.
