2 DAILY NEBRASfCAN Tuesday, May E, T9ST QommmL (Bulktivb From the past . . A militant challenge Ivy Day saw 13 red robed Innocents tap the most outstanding junior men on the campus to fill their shoes. And with the initiation that followed, those Innocents turned in their robes. Their work was done. But significantly enough before that society dramatically revealed its 1942 membership, it had issued a challenge to Innocents of tlie future and to all university organizations where Politicus can or does influence the selections of members. The chal lenge they issued will not soon be forgotten. That group placed honor and fair play over greed and partisan leanings; it placed university over fraternity. That group elected for the first time in many years a society based upon merit and merit alone. They did a job that even uni versity officials were skeptical that any student organization could do. The deserving were not left out; no ill feeling or stench follows the Ivy Day tappings; honor was given where honor was due. To maintain the society on this basis in the fu ture is indeed a challenge to any future Innocents group. But the challenge goes even further. For the members in this year's society held their offices to be more than senior honors," they were to them opportunities for service, did render. They officiated at the most successful fresh man reception in many years; they secured the re organization of parking stalls, alleviating a cramped condition that has been a traditional campus sore spot; they took over the politically ridden Junior Senior Prom, booked a big band and made the party pay cut. And finally they sponsored a drive to in form the students of the needs of this university and were instrumental in organizing the Senior Council. Activities of this sort will commemorate the non-partisan and inspired work of this year's society for years to come. A trail has been blazed. It has been shown that politics need not govern honorary organiza tions on the campus. And the record of the grad uating Innocents at last reveals the society as it is, a society above politics, bent upon service and leadership throughout the school. With the new members chosen on the bases of merit and leader ship, we can be assured that if any group can .continue the example set this year, the present group can. If the new men are the men the out going society believed them to be when they chose them, they will accept the challenge and raise the name of Innocency to even greater heights. For a combination of good men, of high ideals and a firm belief in justice cannot fail to produce commendable results.

While inside the Sig Alpha let air out of their tires and brought l!bses to the front to drench the celebrating DU's. 'This is too much.' Tn the words of one of the at tacked, damage to their cars was more than they could stand. "DU's don't care much about these squabbles, but when trampled around they are going to answer blow for blow." With Meier himself leading the fight, the DU's already soaked to the skin, counter-attacked the op posing coalition, exchanged a few blows and in what ljecame a tug of war tore the hose in many pieces. Surprise in the fight to the Sig Alphs was 05 pound Hugh Wilkins who seized the hose from behind, gave battle to some five fellows, and succeeded in drenching the lot before odds overcame him. Vnl Anderson, Wally Munson, Leonard Dunker and Marvin Athey came to his assistance and gave what onlookers described ns a particu larly good account of themselves. Then came the police. Police finally brought order and got the stalled traffic in motion. A service truck appearing on the scene filled the candy pussen' tires and the delayed procession moved homeward. More than 200 persons filled the street, including sorority girls and members of neighboring fraterni ties out to watch the fracas. "There is no hard feeling," repre sentatives from both sides de clared. "It was the culmination of a feud between the Sig Alphs and DU'a which arises whenever the latter has a candy passing on sorority row." ALL MAKES OF TYPEWRITERS FOR SALE OR RENT KEBR.

Sunday Hitler harangued the Reichstag in the famous Kroll op era house in Berlin. In that speech, he accused Prime Minister Church ill of "committing the greatest strategical error of this war by thinking Italian reverses in Af rica had made it timely to trans fer the war scene to Greece." He neglected to mention that the English had iron-clad treaties for mutual defense with Greece, and that the war in Greece was deliberately precipitateed by the Germans at a time of their own choosing, and not that of the Eng lish. The bulk of the Hitler speech consisted of boasting of the Ger man successes in the pasL and the prediction of eventual German success, regardless of the coali tions that might be formed against her. Lenders in this country, how ever, gave definite evidence that past nazi successes have not les sened the arder with which the war against Hitlerism is to be conducted. President Roosevelt, dedicating Wilson's birthplace as a national shrine, declared that the American people had fought before and were "over ready to fight again" for the existence of "democracy in the world." The chief executive praised Wil son's faith in the democratic way of life and expressed his own faith that democracy would emerge triumphant from the "tragic conflict which the world witnesses today." Speaking in Nashville, Wendell L. Willkie predicted the eventual victory of democracy, and declared that within three to six months, the United States will be turning out more armor and armament than Germany.
