it might become. It is not impossible, because, for one thing, the
DAILY NEBRASKAN is going to let you know the answers to these
questions.
Before going into the thick of thousands of facta and figures, we
want your promise that you will take a sincere interest in what
happens to this school. Without your interest, a lack of which would
indicate that you care nothing about what you yourself would reap
in benefits from a better school . , . without that moral cooperation,
the campaign for a better university and retention of an enviable
position in American education will collapse; for if students do not
care about the school they attend, those who guide its destinies and
make possible its improvements will not give the help within their
power.
Nebraska has slipped and Is in danger of being dropped from
the list of members in the Association of American Universities. In
other words, we are in danger of becoming a second rate school
unless we receive the appropriation the Chancellor and the regents
are requesting from the legislature. And the legislature certainly
won't feel much like granting anything if they find the student
body indolent, unobservant, and uninformed as to the needs and
functions of the university.
Every man counts. Inform yourselves, know what's going on!
What delight any person derives from going around with his head
empty and lighter-than-air, we don't know. Certainly our own selfish
interests should be enough 4o make us know our own school.

2) Defeat of the British would
be of serious consequence to the
United States for: a friendly Brit
ish fleet would no longer dominate
the Atlantic; totalitarian states
would have unquestioned hege
mony over Europe and Africa;
American foreign trade probably
could not compete with a nazi
dominated Europe; the United
States would be the only power
ful democracy in an aggressive,
authoritarian world; and, until
our ordered arms materialize
(1942-46) we need to keep the
English going to forestall a
threat to us.
Opponents say that the English
can pay for what they need, that
they can probably win the war
without our industrial products,
that it is not a serious matter to
us if they do lose.
Silver anniversary
A strange anniversary was cele
brated in New York yesterday,
as survivors of Henry Ford's ill
fated peace ship, the Oscar II, got
together in memory of the 1915
mission "to get the boys out of
the trenches by Chrstmas." Mem
bers of the group included such
writers and commentators as El
mer Davis, Bcrton Braley and Irv
ing Caesar.

Educational circles in New York
once again are seething with re

city's schools, as charges of com

War worries uni library
Censorship slops publications
Foreign periodicals have become
an international problem since the
outbreak of the Anglo-German
war,' according to Miss Maude
Wisherd, in charge of the order
department of the main libary.
Publications arriving from Ger
many, Italy, and The Netherlands
travel over half way around the
world by way of Siberia and Ja
pan to reach this country.
The library receives a total of
2,413 publications in its periodicals
department, which is under the
direction of Mrs. Margaret R.
Smith. These magazines range
geographically from such widely
scattered nations as Russia, Can
ada, Italy, Mexico, Germany,
Spain, England, The Netherlands,
and various universities through
out the United States.
Some never arrive.
Since the outbreak of the war,
however, to obtain many of these
publications it has been very dif
ficult with many of them failing
of the college, testified before a
legislative committee investigat
ing the school system that the
communist party was deliberately
using the free colleges of New
York as a sounding boan? for its
own activities. An assistant pro
fessor at the college testified that
he and four others of the faculty
had joined the party under as
sumed names. The committee
promises a full investigation.

maid is the essence of the story.
As in all farce comedies, the
ending is a happy one, but rather
unexpected in this instance. The
play moves at a fast pace, with
broad and exaggerated portrayal
of character types.

to arrive. Many of them destined
for this country from Germany at
the start of the war, were seized
by England. Commercial agents in
this country are endeavoring to
have them released through the
U. S. department of state.
At the same time practically all
of the magazines from France
have discontinued publication and
it is believed that some may never
resume. An interesting problems
which arose from the war is the
different route the magazines
must follow in order to reach the
United States. Almost without ex
ception they are sent eastward
since the Atlantic ports are block
aded. None from invaded nations.
Virtually all of the periodicals
from invaded countries, however,
have ceased to arrive in the
United States entirely.
A display arranged by Frank
Egan, assistant in the reference
department has been set up on
the third floor of the library.
This display contains a cross
section of the magazines which
the university library receives.
Among the variety of subjects
covered by the magazines on dis
play are photography, athletia,
plastics, economics, history, maps,
humor, literary magazines, and
the various foreign publications of
interest.

Suppose an improved method is devised that
clip just one second from the time required
to handle one toll ticket in the accounting de

Bell SyMera handling an average of some
55,000,000 toll tickets each month-and it would
effect a monthly saving of nearly years!
