. . .Five times we dug our way out

people whom you think are your

We're not happy at all but then
we're glad we're not an ATO...

only the biggest tree was spirited

hopping over snowdrifts, call the

Youth pessimistic about U.S.

By Joe Belden, Editor
Student Opinion Survey I Aniri.
AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 12. Al
though still more optimistic about
the United States staying out of
the war than the general public,
American college students have
lost some confidence during the
last twelve months that we can
avoid the conflict.
Peace with sword
The defense expansion that this
country is now witnessing win oe
a factor in helping to keep us out
of the Furopean conflagration,
two out of every three collegians
believe. Asked by Survey's inter
viewers whether they "felt the en
largement of our army and navy
will help to keep us out of war
or draw us closer to war," these
were the answers given, in per
centages: Will help keep us out.. 67
Will draw us closer 33
Exactly one year ago, in Decem
ber, 1939, Student Opinion Sur
veys sampled the college world
with the question: "Do you be
lieve that the United States can
stay out of the present war?"
That was shortly after the Gen
man invasion of Poland and the
beginning of general hostilities.
The question has been repeated,
and this is the comparison:
Believe we can stay out,
December, 1939 68
Believe we can stay out,
December, 1940 63
Crosstabulations show that
opinion among college men and
among coeds is identical. ,
The answers in the present poll
were further broken down to make
possible a study of qualified opin
ions. Of the 63 percent who be
lieve the U. S. will not be in
volved, 7 percent attached an "if"
to their answers. Most of these
qualifications included the idea ex
pressed by a University of Ver

Gone too far
Another opinion prevalent
among students was exemplified
by the comment made to the
Georgia State Teachers college
interviewer, "Yes, if the U. S.
could get busy and eliminate spies
and fifth columnists." But there
were many who feel this nation
has already taken too many dan
gerous steps. "We re already In it,
for we are fighting economically
for England," said a St. Edward's
university sophomore.
College youth has better hopes
for the international future of the
country than does the average
American voter. The most recent
Gallup poll (November 30) on the
subject reveals that although op
timism is growing, a majority of
59 percent still feels the U. S.
will eventually have to fight. Col
lege sentiment has increased in
the opposite direction, towards the
pessimistic side, but a majority
remains firm in the belter war
will be avoided.

'California, here
ive come,9 but we
can't tell the rest
By Bob A Id rich.
"California, here we come,
Right back where we started
from . . ."
Everybody's singing it up to
that point. But nobody knows the
rest of the words.
They sing it at dinners, rallies,
gatherings of all kinds. And
everybody would like to know the
words. The DAILY would like to
print them. But there are objec
tions. It seems the ASCAP American
Society of Composers, Authors
and Publishers has control of the
copyright. ASCAP might let the
DAILY print the words but simi
lar experiences with other con
trolled songs have led the editors
to think otherwise. Besides, by the
time the red tape was cut through
the Rose Bowl game would be
played and the song rather point
less. If it helps any, the final words
are:
"Open up that Golden Gate.
California, here we come!"
Eut we can't fill in the rest of
the words and verses it's agin'
the law. And, anyway, we don't
know them. So there you are.
of X-mas
seal funds from
state used here
Now In progress is the Nebraska
Tuberculosis association's annual
Christmas Seal drive to finance a
state health program that will
eradicate tuberculosis.
To aid th
sick and protect
the well is the
aim of the as
sociation made
up of thous
ands of N
braskans who
have given of
their time and
money in the
annual Christmas drive.
Ninety-five percent of the
Christmas Seal funds collected in
Nebraska remain in the state. The
remainder goes to the national
association for educational and
research work.
Urging support for the drive
before "it is too late," the asso
ciation assures contributors they
will have a happier holiday sea
son with the knowledge they have
brought hope to many sufferers.
It canU happen
here but it did
ACP "It can happen here," ob
serves the Daily Cardinal at the
University of Wisconsin, in relat
ing the following incident:
You are in a political science
wture. The lecturer is talking
about the rip-roaring 1920 presi
dential convention in Chicago,
after which the Congress hotel
found itself some 50 grand in the
hole.
There were courts to handle
cases like this lawyers would be
sent the Congress would sue!
Would sue the republican party
for damages!
But you can't sue a whole mess
of baby-kissers scattered all over
this fair land. You can't stop re
publicans on the street and assess
them a proportional share of the
damages. You can t serve papers
on a real elephant, much less a
symbolic one.
"What are you gonna do? Whom
can you sue?" the lecturer thun
ders. "Whom are you gonna sue?"
From the silent depths the ans
wer breaks forth: "Yehudi."

"One Foot High," a photograph
of a dancer in action, the work of
student Frank H. Slaymaker, la
one of the most fascinating and
unusual pieces in the annual ex
hibition of prints being held by the
Lincoln Camera club in Morrill
hall.
The photograph was taken with
the stroboscopic lamp, a develop
ment of Dr. Harold E. Edgerton,
Nebraska alum. Enabling a pic
ture to be taken at a very small
fraction of a second, this precis
technique is used by such maga
zines as Look and Life.
Included In this exhibit are
many other fine examples in the
field of photography. There are in
teresting closeups of material
carefully prepared from the stand
point of balance, composition, tex
ture, and light and shade.
Dwight Kirsch, head of the art
department and one of the out
standing contributors to the ex
hibit says, "This is the best ex
hibit the Camera club has ever
had. The greater number of por
trait studies and the emphasis in
the vacation scenes upon the mak
ing of a good picture rather than
upon the subject matter make it
different."
