Pressure can remedy
Husker scalp trouble
Scalp trouble has afflicted Nebraska BAD!
And this malady can be remedied only by the unified effort of
those seeking Rose Bowl tickets and of that group which is ashamed
of the capitalization being made of the whole hearted enthusiasm of
those wanting to follow the .team.
Never before has so large a block of tickets been sold by the
visiting Bowl team in so short a time. Over the nation the large
ticket sales speaks for an enviable school spirit among the students
and alumni of this institution.
But to others, and these are the ones who are In the position
to see what's going on, the demand for tickets as well indicates
an exceedingly large number of fifth columnists, scalpers by name,
whose desire for' a little money has overshadowed for the present
their loyalty for the school; who are willing to sell out their class
mates' chances of seeing the first Rose Bowl game Nebraska has
ever had the opportunity to play by sending tickets to higher bid
ders in California; and what is worse are preventing those who
really hold their school at heart from making the trip because of
the high ticket prices they are demanding. For this element in
our student body, Nebraska can feel justly ashamed.
Scalpers prefer to keep their activities secret because they know
they are nothing more than lice feeding upon the genuine enthusiasm
of others. But in the interest of those who want tickets for their own
use, it is mandatory that the names of this particular group be made
known. By publicizing their names everyone will know who of their
classmates yelling in last week's all day rally were Dr. Jekylls and
Mr. Hydes, that is, who of them were posing as enthusiastic Husker
supporters, while inside themselves were contemplating ways to profit
by that enthusiasm.
To fight these ticket scalpers, everyone must cooperate.
First, by refusing to pay more than $4.40 for a ticket. If the
blocks being held by some of the students can be broken up, one
will have a chance to buy a ticket for that price anyway. And it
is important that the profitableness be removed from ticket holding.
Second, by reporting to the athletic office the names of all
persons who have reserved tickets (one or more) which they them
selves are not using. A list of the tickets held appears on page 1.
Analyze it closely and remember that your action in reporting
tickets is making it possible for some true Nebraskan to follow
the team.
Third, by reporting all tickets that are being sent out of town
and particularly to California for sale. Many not realizing the in
justice of selling tickets in California when there is not an adequate
number for Nebraska rooters have already cancelled their orders.
Possibly others will do the same.
Fourth, by cancelling orders for all excess tickets which you
yourself hold. There are many whose plans for making the trip
have fallen through who are still holding their orders. Anyone can
celling such reservations as well as those cancelling blocks which
they bought thoughtlessly for investment will be commended.
Then with the publication of names from day to day of those
who persist in holding tickets, their position will be made most diffi
cult. By such unified effort the 5,000 tickets allotted to this school
will be placed in the hands of Nebraska students and alums who can
represent our state in a 100 percent Nebraska section at the Rose
Bowl game.

Brigode saves day
for Mortar Boards
Ace Brigode and his Virginians saved the day for the Mortar
Boards, all" right In fact, with the presentation of bachelors and the
leap year theme, Friday's party ought to be unusually good.
But that doesn't in the least purify the action of the General
Amusement Co. and of Larry Clinton in breaking off his engagement
at the last moment. Their actions not only placed the Mortar Boards
in an awkward position, but also because of the lateness' of the hour
made it difficult to secure a qualified band to take his place.
Furthermore, because Brigode is not known so well In this part of
the country, it puts the Mortar Boards In the position of the military
department as appearing to depend upon tradition to get a crowd
rather than on the quality of the entertainment.
Clinton's action was particularly unfortunate at this moment in
that the M. B.'s were seeking to go over the customary allotment In
order to prove that name bands will pay out, and to reduce the price
of tickets to prove once and for all that a party will pay on a smaller
per capita expense. These two issues for which the student body has
argued for years were to be decided by the success of this party.
But through a technicality in the contract, making it not binding
until signed at the convenience of Mr. Clinton, he escaped possibly to
more profitable pastures a week after the Mortar Boards believed the
contract was made.
Particularly questionable appears the action of this booking agency
In view of the fact that it would not let the Mortar Boards withdraw
their offer earlier, when the faculty committee refused to grant the
money necessary to secure the contract. At that time the company
said Clinton had agreed and it would therefore be impossible for the
Mortar Boards to withdraw. Their offer therefore became binding and
the university was obliged to meet the price.
One week later, however, after Clinton had been thoroughly publi
cized, after tickets had been sold on the basis of his name, after the
Mortar Boards had turned down Dick Jurgens and delayed until Jan
Garber had signed elsewhere, they received a telegram saying Clinton
would be unable to sign. He had slipped through the technical clause
in the contract apparently to take a more lucrative job at some other
place.
Confident that the student body was getting sick and tired of
second rate bands, the society then decided to call off their annual
party. They concluded that the price paid by students for the quality
of orchestra they've been getting us isn't worth the chips.
At the last moment, however, they were fortunate in coming to
terms with Brigode, whose band, they felt, though not known in this
part of the country too well, would make a successful party.
The issue still remains as to whether a successful party with a
good orchestra will pay at $1.25 per head. The chance of having re
duced rates in the future depends upon the turnout for Brigode.
The fact that he is not known so well in this part of the country
as is Clinton is due to a large extent to the fact that he has seldom
toured it. Naturally we are sorry that Clinton let the Mortar Boards
down, but we're also happy that a band like Brigode could be secured.

Gin we compete?
Oft-expressed fears in this country that Nazi war aims include
rot only hegemony over all of Europe but world domination were
given new impetus over the weekend by publication in life magazine
and the press of a speech delivered last May by Dr. Walter Darre,
German Minister of Agriculture, to a group of high Nazi officials.
Pledging his audience to silence, he sketched a complete victory
cf German arms, ending in the capitulation of the United States.
"We Germans have accounts which must be settled with this coun
try," he said, referring to the United States,' and in elucidating the
coune which such a settlement would take, he went on:
"The United States also will be forced by Germany to complete
and final capitulation. Our superior industrial products will be sold at
very low prices to the whole world, and will cause the United States
to have not seven million but 30 million 40 million unemployed. Mr.
Rosefeld will then beg the fuehrer on his knees' to' purchase from the
United States not manufactured
products but raw materials at
prices which he will dictate."
Nazi leaders like Ftick, Rosen
berg, Hess, Himmler, Goering, Ley,
Gocbbels and Hitler himself have
long been voicing similar state
men ts.
Significance of Dr. Darre's speech
Is its implication that one form of
Nazi strategy against the United
States calls for economic warfare.

This raises the issue whether
American private capital can com
pete with totalitarian economics.
If that be so, the alternatives
facing the United States seem to
be these: a) to withdraw from such
competition In all foreign spheres;
b) to make such alterations as
would enable It to compete; c)
seek substantially to modify the In
fluence of totalitarian economics.
Condra speaks before

FIT TO BE TIED.
As Webster would say, I can
not sleep; my pillow is stuffed
with a litter of porcupines. I have
pared the devil's nails 40 times,
roasted them in raven's eggs, and
cured agues with them. Get me
300 milk bats, to make possets to
produce sleep. I sleep worse than
the mouse who is forced to take
up his lodging in a cat's ear.
The books I read and the life
I lead are sensible, sane and mildl
I like calm hats and I don't wear
spats, but I like my neckties
wild!
Give me a wild tic, brother, one
with a passionate urge! A tie
that will swear and rip and tear
when it sees my old blue serge.
Oh, some will say that a gent's
cravat should only be seen and
not heard, but I want a tie that
will make men cry and render
their vision blurred. I yearn, I
long for a tie so strong it would
take two men to tie it. If such
there be, Just show it to me
whatever the price, I'll buy it!
Some may long for the sooth
ing touch of lavendar, cream and
mauve, but the ties I wear must
possess the glare of a red hot
kitchen stove. Give me a wild tie,
brother, one with lots of sin. A
tie that will blaze in a hectic haze,
down where the vest begins,
Militzcr talks at Doane
Dr. W. E. Militzer, of the chem
istry department, will speak on
"What Price Progress?" before a
banquet of the Doane college
science club in Crete Wednesday
evening. Dr. D. N. Marquardt
of the department also will at
tend the banquet.
Budget worries regents
.
Fear lowering of standards
By Art Rivin.
Probable effects which an in
sufficient legislative appropriation
would have on the university were
outlined by the board of regents
in its budget letter to Gov. R. L.
Cochran. Printed below are ex
cerpts from that letter.
Leading regional accrediting as
sociation of schools and colleges
of the United States, the Nortn
Central association, has officially
cautioned university officials that
the expenditure per student for
instructional purposes is below the
level necessary to maintain an
adequate and satisfactory program
by institutions such as the Uni
versity of Nebraska,
Credits may be questioned
Says the board of regents: "If
we should continue below the min
imum cf respectability for any
length of time, we may expect to
have our credits questioned; and
?uch a development would imme
diately place insurmountable diffi
culties in the paths of our present
students and would drive our fu
ture students elsewhere."
It was explained in the letter
that during the past four years,
expenditures have been larger than
the income from all sources. A
cash reserve, accumulated in pre
vious years, has been used to meet
the needs of the students. "The
period of financing essential parts
of our program, and of maintain
ing standards even at the level
they have been kept, by the use of
cash reserves will necessarily end
,with the current fiscal year, be
cause surplus cash reserves will
then have been exhausted."
The regents speak of the recent
loss of instructors. "During each
of the last four years, the univer
sity has lost several excellent staff
members who were literally irre
placeable because of lack of funds.
This is a serious matter when it
happens even in one year, but
when it happens over' a period of
consecutive years, the situation
becomes very serious and even
alarming. This stage has been
reached."
The board of regents summarizes
its case in this manner: "With an
appropriation for the general uni
versity fund less than the amount
of this fund in the last appropria
tion, we shall have to cut salaries
generally, discontinue some parts
of our present program, dismiss
some staff members, allow our in
structional and research equipment
to deteriorate below present mar
ginal effectiveness, and permit our
buildings to lapse into a state of
disrepair."
