Extra-curricular Activities Count Now that the freshmen have adjusted themselves to their class schedules and living accommodations, they are beginning to notice some of the extra-curricular activities on the campus. Some old r student have encouraged freshmen to enter the activities because "They are a lot of fun," and some have discouraged them because you're here for an education, not for play." We think there ought to be a middle ground in consid ering extra-curricular activities. The student who has too many outside activities is making a great mistake because he is slighting his school work. On the other hand, the student who has no interest out pide of school work is also making a mistake. Activities are a necessary part of each student's Vacation, some because they teach individuals the art of "getting along" with other individuals and others because they offer training in various voca tions. The Daily Nebraskavn, Comhusker and Awg wan offer opportunities for students who plan to enter various phases of writing or advertising. Stu dents interested in entertainment gain valuable ex perience in Kosmet Klub and University Theater. Aid personnel work is given by the AVVS, YWCA, TMCA and Coed Counselors. Salesmanship and or ganization experience is offered by Tassels and Corn Cobs. These are just a few examples of what extra-curricular activities can do for the student ho is really interested. All the above organizations and many others have started or will be starting soon to recruit new workers and members. The AVVS is sponsoring its annual all-activities mart tomorrow in Ellen Smith at which all freshmen and other new women students will be informed of the work of different Women's organizations. At a barb mass meeting yesterday afternoon representatives of the various activities explained their work to interested unaf filiated students. The Corn Cobs and Kosmet Klub have held smokers for new workers. Every campus activity needs "new blood" every year and any student is welcome in any activity. Here's a slogan we like: "Every student should take part in at least one extra-curricular activity." Behind the News By David Thompson Strong Arm Tactics I have been bending over backwards in this col umn to be as impartial as it was possible for me to 1 in regard to the position of the "America First" Committee on this campus. Those days are over. After tne fiasco that took place in parlors X and Y of the Union last night at the instigation of the "America First" Committee, 1 feel no qualms about faking my mtnd. For a week now the stu dent organisers of the committee have been tell ing me that they felt that the only difference be tween the interventionists and their group was that they differed in the methods of defending America. The opening remarks of Stanley Lowe, acting chairman of the student America First Committee, tossed that out of the window when he scathingly denounced those who wish our participation in this war as unpatriotic and weakwilled. The logic of his speech reminded me very much of Marx, who set up a rigid formula of what people should think and then considered them stupid if they did not believe as he did. It soems that one of the four principles upon which America First stands, those of free speech, press, assembly and religion was inoet flagrantly violated last night when all quotations which would have easily embarrassed the speakers were either restated in such a distorted manner that they could be answered according to "America First" princi ples, or they were just pushed aside without com ment. Only twice did this columnist manage to get the floor before he was tabbed as too inquisitive and relegated to a position analogous to not being among those present Free speech was definitely not in evidence. Most glaring contradiction of the evening came when Mr. Lowe referred to the U. S. dictatorship imposing the four "fantastic" freedoms upon the rest of the world, and Mr. Luckey stated that one of the principles of "America First" was to guar antee the same four important freedoms named above. Most out of place in the whole gathering was the one sincere speaker of the evening. Miss Marion Axford, who was the only alleged America First leader who had the courage to admit that she did not back up Lindbergh's Des Moines address. Her doctrine of Christian Pacifism, of merit to those who are sincere in it, is in itself contradictory to the "defend America" principle of "America First" If you wish further information about the goings on last night just ask anyone, of any faction, who was present last night It did the "America First" cause more harm than good.
