By those in the engine college, law college and ag
college, for papers would be made available to them in
their respective buildings. With universal subscription the
points of distribution could be multiplied indefinitely,
without the fear of giving papers to non-subscribers.
All in all there are advantages for everyone. Re
member your endorsement is only giving the plan a
trial. The ultimate decision on it will come only after a
year's operation, and at the hands of the student them
selves. Wc jumped the gun
When the NEBRASKAN announced that the Barb
Union had endorsed the Student Council subscription
plan, we misrepresented the facts. Our own enthusiasm
carried us so far that our staff interpreted a decidedly
favorable vote of a special Barb Union meeting as being
representative of the entirs group. This, we are informed,
was a m stake.
The action of that group was only tentative awaiting
the final endorsement or rejection of the entire Barb
Union r"eting this evening. Lets hope that our blunder
wont v support from the Student Council plan, which
is aimed not necessarily at helping this staff, but at help
ing the entire student body thru a wider distribution of
the paper.

Dear Editor:
In Re: Automatic Subscription.
Yesterday's announcement that the Barb Union had
approved the DAILY'S subscription plan came as a dis
tinct surprise to a great many people, including the offi
cers and members of the Barb Union. Certainly from
past experience with DAILY editorial policy and news
coverage, Barbs had no reason to favor the plan. There
fore, the action of the special meeting of the Barb Union
Thursday night needs a few words of explanation.
The approval voiced was that of the individual mem
bers present, and was not and could not be an endorse
ment by the Barb Union. The group was not represent
ative of the entire Union, nor had it authority to act Any
official action can only come at the open Barb Union
meeting tonight, and all Barbs are urged to attend this
meeting.
It is true that an overwhelming majority of Barbs
present at Thursday's meeting were personally in favor
of the plan. They were willing to put party differences
aside and consider the suggestion on its merits. All
agreed that it would be a good thing for the university
to have a paper that would be read by all students, and
that the DAILY could be greatly improved by the auto
matic subscription proposal
In Re: The Barb.
A great number of students have been asking what
has become of the Barb. As was announced in the last
issue of the paper last semester, a subscription drive to
support the paper was to begin at the first of the se
mester. However, upon the protest of the DAILY the
drive was delayed three weeks by hearings before the
Board of Publications. At that time members of the
staff renewed their requests for permission to finance
the paper through the sale of advertising, so that they
might continue the policy of distributing the paper free
to everyone. The Publications Board denied both The
Barb's request for advertising, and the DAILY'S re
quest that The Barb be suspended. Permission was

I stagger through life with a smirk on my face,
With a sneer wrinkling up my schnozzola;
I act debonair with a bored, detached air
And swill nothing but old Coco Cola;
I think nothing of dancing with Rogers
Or prancing on horses that leap like Beelsebub,
And shouting "huzza!" "tally ho!" and "hot cha," ,
At the home runs of either a Sox or a Cub,
Til hack off a corn with a look of sheer scorn
From the base of my foot, metatarsical,
And stand in the lobby (a thespian hobby)
At plays, whether tragic or farcical
I look rather frowsy, magna cum lousy
I pursue the muses at college,
With much hesitation and some procrastination
I gormandize pre-distilled knowledge.
My simian features remind several creatures
Of Ccasar's division of Gaul;
My smile on a photo is tortured,
In toto, I'm not photogenic at all.

granted to begin the subscription drive. But the se
mester was by that time so far advanced that there did
not appear to be time to organize a subscription drive
and still have enough issues to give the subscribers their
money's worth.

not done, nor that quotations of members of Innocents

Independence day?
Monday was the Bulgarian Independence day. Pre
ceding this year's celebration of the anniversary waa
Sunday's meeting of the Bulgarian parliament a meet
ing called by order of the premier to ratify the signing
of the protocol which formally attached that little state
to the Axis entourage.
As a result, in this year's celebration the Bulgarian
flag was overshadowed by the everywhere -present Ger
man swastika.
Before the ink was dry on the document the German
army was pouring into Bulgaria by panzer division and
transport plane, and, the Associated Press reported, as
darkness fell Saturday the mechanized columns were still
thundering down the streets of the capital and huge
Junker transport planes were coming down methodically
on the Sofia airdrome, packed with troops.
The peaceful occupation of Bulgaria is an important
victory for the Germans. It means they quickly can as
semble an overpowering military force on the Greek
border. In general, it makes it easier for Hitler to carry
out his program of complete domination of southeastern
Europe.
It is probable that the Germans will attempt to force
the Greeks to make peace with Italy. That would elimi
nate the difficulty of fighting a war on two fronts, and
seriously hamper English action in the Balkans.
Decision by the Greeks on continuing the war likely
will depend on Turkey. If the English and the Turks pro
vide support, the conquest of Greece will be a difficult
matter. The mountainous terrain is a nasty obstacle even
to the German panzer divisions, and the English as well
as the Turks can move in across the British-controlled
sea lanes.
If Hitler is convinced that the British and the Turks
are going to combine to give the Greeks effective aid
he probably will not precipitate action in that area for
the time being, but will concentrate on smashing Eng
land in England, and not in the Mediterranean.
If England falls, Greece and Turkey will be easy
meat.
