Defense Affects Students
Tomorrow, October 1. the revenue bill recently
passed by Congress will go into effect. It will mean
that a large number of commodities and entertain
ment features will be taxed an additional ten per
cent for national defense.
Here's something that will make university
students think more about national defense than
they seem to be at present. Here's something that
will affect them, just as the men who are now in
military training have been affected. On page one
of the Daily Nebraskan today there appears a story
headlined "Todays the day to celebrate; for to
morrow collegians pay." ne story shows how the
new sales taxes will affect many of the things used
every day by university students.
The result of the taxes may show this to be
true-that people don't think much about anything
until it affects their pocketbooks as United States
efforts for national defense are doing now.
Behind the News
By David Thompson
Catholic Church Moves...
The long suffering remarkably quiescent Cath
olic church is beginning to exert more and more
of its influence against the inhumanities being car
ried out in nasi occupied Europe. And peculiarly
enough that reaction is be.ng unleashed first in
Germany itself with the attacks from the pulpit
made by Bishop Count Von Galen of Muenster.
His most fiery sermon dealt with the nazi policy
t.f killing the physically unfit and the insane in
Germany. That is nothing less than mass murder
and an "organized survival of the fittest program.
The greatest influence of the Catholic church
obviously lies in Italy, the site of the Papacy, and
in the Irish Free State. It is no secret that the
Italian people are fed up with this war. The un
successful Greek campaign, brought to a successful
conclusion only by Germany's taking over, had
much to do with the collapse of Italian mot ale. In
the first place Italian Irredenta or nationalism
never did extend beyond colonial expansion and
the inclusion of Italian nationals in Croatia and Al
bania. The Greek attack was completely without
these plans. Talk of a successful Italian revolution
against Mussolini, fostered by the British secret
ervic. would be much more plausible if we did
not know that all the key positions in the Italian
government, and the key positions in the Italian de
fense system were in German hands.
A popular uprising in Italy would face gieat
difficulties, but it would, as it is in Jugoslavia and
Czechoslovakia, cause the Germans a good deal of
trouble at her back door and thus hinder the Rus
sian campaign.
Ireland is the potential "Achilles Heel" of the
British Isles. Her neutral course has made Ireland
a hotbed of international intrigue, and a base tor
nazi fifth column activities in Britain. The Irish
Free State is a strongly Catholic nation, and the
unpopular sentiment will follow, to a large extent,
the position of the papacy. This rumored anti-nazi
stand of the church would then have a great in
fluence upon the future Irish policy and perhaps
remove the threat to Britain's back door.
The power of the Catholic church cannot be
underrated. It is the most powerful international,
non-political and extra-territorial organization in
existence. If it takes a strong stand against Ger
many, its influence will be felt in every occupied
territory and in Germany itself. It will iir.Meafrur
ably increase the morale of the conquered peoples,
and thus stiffen their internal resistaiift t the
German cause...

We're always hearing tales about newlywedS
but we never though we'd hear one on Bob Aden,
last year's president of thef Innocents society and
editor of the Cornhosker. It seems he has been in
troducing his bride as Miss Marion Cramer instead
of as Mrs. Aden.

Two boys came to the university this year as
new students. They hadn't met before, but now live
at the same address and are buddies. There's
nothing unusual about that except their names
Dick Ake and Harold Hurtz.

No, those grocery sacks a number of students
were carrying around last week didn't contain gro
ceries, lunch, or any of the other assorted sugges
tions we've heard. They were books for Mr. Gett
man's novel course. It might be a good idea to
return the books accompanied by a picnic lunch,
however. That's what Nancy Haycock did last
spring. rag
Speaking of picnics (although nobody wants
to on a oy like this), here's another one on Karl
Arndt. bizad prof. He was taking roll in Ec 103
the other day and had to stop after each name to
blow his nose. Finally he just gave up and said:
"Honestly, this is no weather for picnics."
Dear Friend:
. Now that the hinges are squeak
ing on thousands of out-opening
doors scattered over the highlands
and prairies, as schools and col
leges are opening after a three
month shutdown, boy and girl
hearts are fluttering over the pros
pect of new experiences and profs
are looking over their glasses at
the raw material. Both students
and profs are doomed to disap
pointment. The boys and girls
will find much of the common
place mixed in with romantic wish
ing and the profs will be looking,
eye to eye, at some future empire
builders, discoverers, artists, in
dustrial tycoons and assorted gen
iuses. To ask, "How raw is raw?" is
equivalent to asking, "How new is
new?" When Columbus dropped
in at the country estate of the
Brown family, he called it a new
world. If he had been thinking
of commerce and the flow of trade
he might have called it a raw
world. If raw means new, then
one year's influx of students is dif
ferent from another year's influx
only in size. If raw means un
trained, then one group differs
from another in terms of stndard
details of instruction and social
disciplines.

Coming Up
It looks like a good year ahead.
Strange words? . . . considering that the world
is in a terrible turmoil and that the turmoil may
soon befelt more than ever right here on the Forty
Acres?
Or closer still . considering the long registra
tion lines that have to be navigated so soon?
Nevertheless, we are inclined to be optimistic:
It never hurt anybody.
It looks like a great year for school spirt. Coach
Dana X. Bible and his super-eleven have made the
Orange and White mean something again in the
Southwest conference football fields and there is no 1
denying that a winning football team is a moving 1
factor in active school spirit. Perhaps nothing in !
the woild could have drawn so many students and
ex-students closer together than that glorious 7 to 0
defeat of the mighty Aggies. This year, every time
those Orange and White perseys appear on a field
ten thousand persons will be as one we are con
vinced. It also looks like a good year for making friends.
Somehow, when world conditions are not exactly
rosy and you're not so sure what is coming up, you
like to talk to the fellow next to you, as it were, be
cause you realize that you are not the only guy
in the universe. The common problem now facing
all the people cannot help but draw them together.
It should be a good year for learning. You can't
help but learn something when history is being
made right in front of your nose, figuratively speaking-
literally, if you lead the papers. And some
how, when you feel you have a stake in what to
morrow brings you take quite a great interest ;n
what it is. There are also many people who are
lealizing for the first time that they may not have
forever and nine years to complete their formal
education.
If these be gloomy days, let's make the most of
them. The Daily Texan.
"Patriotism is more than a pnde in the phys
ical greatness of our nation, more than pride in its
natural resources and in its tremendous armament.
Genuine patriotism is a quality rooted deep down
in the souls of men and involving their minds, their
wills and their lives. It demands honor, love and
service of our nation. Such patriotism is based
on i inescapable virtue of justice and love. But
thin type of thinking and active patriotism is not
only rare today, it is lifficult This type of patrio
tism . . . needs aggressive citizens who will take
immediate legal and aggiessive action against those
who enjoy the hospitality of this land with the
definite hope of destroying us." The Rev. Ignatius
Smith, O. P., head of the school of philosophy of
Catholic University, Washington, D. C ACP.

Sinfonia Elects
Officers; Plans
Year's Program
The first nieeting of Sinfonia
was held Thursday noon in par
lors XYZ of the Union, with Keith
Sturdevant, this year's president
presiding.
Tentative plans for the year
were made and the fall reception
for men students in the school of
music was scheduled for Oct. 3.
Officers elected at the meeting
were James Price, treasurer; Er
nest Ulmer, chairman of the pro
gram committee, and Deiter Ko
ber, chairman of publicity.
The next meeting will be held
Thursday noon, Oct. 2. in Union
pallors XYZ.
U. S. A. will be boys and girls who
were born during ami shortly after
the last world war and who are
now living thru another world war.
These students, as individuals, will
be taller and of better health than
were those of the past generation
when they, as individuals, were
freshmen. These young men and
women will be well posted on the
world's affairs, will be indepen
dent thinkers, will be unregiment
ed, will be lacking in certain tra
ditional preparations, but will be
well grounded in others and will
be bubbling with a desire to get
all of the pleasure possible out of
every student fcituation. These
young people will break the hearts
of those who love traditions for
their own sake, but will stimulate
those who love the delightful con
tacts with eighteen and twenty
year olds who are joyously enter
ing adult life.
Freshmen! They are new, they
older standards, they are crude
are unprepared according to the
according to some social practices,
they are not indoctrinated, they
are not susceptible to exploitation,
they believe in social justice, they
do not believe in revolution, they
do not desire war, they do wish to
have an opportunity to work, they
are patriotic but not hysterical,
they are intelligent, they have high
moral standards, they are not
prudish, and altho they will do a
little whooping up, they will not
let the institution down.

following is a quotation from a
letter written by Edward Beagh
ler, 37: "I occasionally hear news
from school and the longer I am
in New York, the more Nebras
kans I encounter. I just returned
from a trip to Haiti, and one of
the first individuals I met in the
capital of the lepublic was a
graduate of the school of engineei

ent time I am a full-lime instruc
tor in Cornell medical college and
senior assistant resident at the
