lap of luxury from proceeds of a
trust fund set up by Louisiana

The pun, mostly fox terrier, was
run over by a motorist It was
found by Maurean Lawrence, a
student.
Miss Lawrence rushed the pup
to a veterinarian and the injuries
were diagnosed as not serious.

fund for Oscar until a good home
Is provided.

by the librarians, faculty members
and graduate students. Card num
ber 1 in the file is that of author
Abraham Jacob van der Aa, while

Commentorials
. from our readers
Dear Editor:
As co-signor of the memorial sent to Wash
ington by members of the faculty of the University
of Nebraska, I want to clarify, and clarify most
emphatically, one point I speak of course only
for myself and do not know to what extent my
potnt of view la shared by the other signors of
the memorial.
The charge is made by a number of students
that "the professors are now willing to throw away
our lives for vague objectives." Whether or not
the objectives are vague is immaterial to my pres
ent statement But I have never in my life ex
pected anybody to do something that I was not
willing to do myself; and I shall not change my
attitude now. If I were not willing to make the
Bupreme sacrifice myself now or at any time in
the future I should regard my signature to the
memorial as worse than hypocraey and aa devoid
of all moral significance.
