The room will be decorated with the huge university service flag. The first monthly news letter to for mer university students now in military service is being prepared and will be sent out during the third week of October. Students who expressed a desire to help with the projects were placed on the national defense committee appointed by the Union activities board this week and other interested students are urged to help this committee. A large number of names of former UN students now in the service have al ready been turned' in and more will be welcomed. The sponsors of this national defense work are encouraged by the enthusiasm already shown by the students and hope many more will turn out to help what the committee believes to be a humani tarian movement. DEAR EDITOR: I have not always agreed with Mr. Thompson a column in the past. But Sunday he pointed out the ever-widening gulf between most isolationists and the America First Committee. I wish to thank Mr. Thompson for that. Like most of the non-interventionists 1 know, 1 am against our proposed entry into this war be cause any war is irreconcilable with my principles. Were the non-AFC isolationists to prepare a statement of the considerations back of their stand, the statement would read something like this: 1. We cannot reconcile our belief in the sancti ty of human life to the idea of war. 2. We realize the inefficacy of war as an in strument of social betterment. 3. We sincerely believe that participation in a war would be now, as it has been in the past, tragically disastrous for the people of thisnation. Believinq thus, we have no course alternative to opposing the employment of war as an instru ment of foreign policy by our government. Most non-interventionists agree in the main with the stated aims of the AFC, but differ violently with their methods. I witnessed the "strong-arm tactics" at the meeting last week of the campus supporters of the AFC in fact, I was among the strong-armed. That meeting was extremely well handled, from a power-politics point of view. That is, Mr. Luckey Paul knew the precise psychological moment to interrupt an embarrassing question with his own biased interpretation of that question; he recognized the right moment to pour Miss Axford's obvious sincerity on the troubled waters, (Mr. Luckey Paul relied on the audience's chivalry to keep Miss Axford safe from interruption, but the idea of like chivalry from the speaker's table ap parently never entered his head.) He seized the correct moment to close a turbulent and already ver-time meeting. Mr. Luckey Paul was in rare form all evening he could twist the tall of any question and make it squeal "Principal Four.'; Behind the News By David Thompson Panama's refusal to allow the arming of mer chant vessels flying the Panamanian flag makes doubly sure that the administration will push the repeal or amendment of the neutrality act of 1939 so that U. S. ships will be allowed to arm against attack by Axis raiders in any of the seven seas. It will also mean that once the act Is so changed that those American ships which have been transferred to Panamanian registry will be returned to our own merchant marine. Obviously they would be more effective under our registry and armed than they would be under Panamanian license and armed. It may also result in an administration move to change other portions of the act which prohibit our merchant ships travelling to belligerent ports and into designated combat zones. This will provoke a good deal of opposition in Congress without a doubt, and if it is passed it will not be just because one man decides that it should be. Hopes that Finland would withdraw from the Hussion campaign when she got back all the terri tory lost to Russia in 1940 were dashed today when Finland refused to heed British and Norwegian warnings that she to so and said that she would not be satisfied with mere restitution of her lost territories, but wanted certain other areas beyond the old frontier which are' allegedly "primarily Fin nish." This is highly reminiscent ot the German claims made upon Czechoslovakia and Poland prior to their fall, and indicate the extent to which the Finns have fallen under the influence of Germany's "outlaw nationalism." The reaction of the house of representatives to an amendment which would withhold any aid to the soviet union under a bill expanding the author ity of the Reconstruction Finance corporation to lend should be noted by those factions that uphold the abilities and powers of Congress as to be fol lowed. The house voted down that amendment 69 to 25 and gave an excellent indication of how our national legislature backs the administrations "aid to Russia" program. 1. In what way have army and navy wear affected the college wardrobe? Haven't you noticed the prepon derance of navy blue and army insignia scattered here and there in feminine wear? These items and the new strapped, unseamed shoes (like the officers wear) are indications of the present trend toward the men in service. The outstanding color this fall, espe cially for the men, will be O.D. (olive drab) and the outstanding fabric again, covert. 2. Accessories will be the big ex pense this fall, since clothes will be simpler. Are there any new and unusual things along that line? Accessories always- seem new and unusual, but it takes a lot c2 looking to find things that two really different and good-looking. Some of the Jewelry this year made in the pattern of your favo rite silver pattern Is clever and looks a great deal more expensive than it really is. Fur muffs and trim on hats and gloves will dress up last year's coat, and a bit of black lace under the brim of your hat will add a touch of glamor to your tea drew. 3. What will the well-dresses) fraternity pledge wear on sneak night (by request)? This is a little late for some chapters, but my only suggestion would be that whatever you wear on the trip to Omaha, be sure you pad it well when you return. Possessing 'Comma' Serine . Dean R. A.

Lyman, dean of the college of pharmacy, announced the publication of the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Educa tion, the last week of October. This journal originated at the Uni versity of Nebraska and is read by colleges of 38 states, the District of Columbia, the Philippines and Puerto Rico. Although the journal has filled a need of the American Associa tion of Colleges of Pharmacy and is supported wholeheartedly by the members at the present time, the idea originally met with strong op position. "If it had not been for the University of Nebraska, stated Dr. Lyman, "the idea would never have been developed. Dr. Lyman has served as editor of the journal since it was founded in January, 1937. When questioned as to his previous journalistic training, he said, "No training, just comma sense." The aim of the journal, as stated by the editor, is to educate, not merely to serve as a scientific treatise. To carry out this plan the magazine not only contains ar ticles concerning the recent de- The non-interventionists who are not and have no remote desire to be affiliated with the America First Committee can no longer afford to sanction or condone such proceedings. At a time like the present, silent tolerance amounts to indifference and apathy. If the America First Committee is allowed to become synonymous with the general cause of isolationism and pacifism, it can more effectively damn that cause than can the words of all the in terventionist writers and speakers in the country. I suggest that consideration be given those on either side of this question who are glad that the much-maligned "four fieedoms" allow two sides of such a vital question to exist; and I suggest again that all sincere Isolationists are not members of the America First Committee. Sincerely, '. H. Jane Lynn. Grading ... (Continued From Page 1.) automatically become an "F." An "A will designate all work in good standing at the time a course is dropped. In the computation of official grade averages for each student and for each organization, univer sity, social, or honorary, reports of incompletes will be excluded, the registrar stated. "F" reports in these averages will be arbi trarily given the value of "50." Commenting on the changes, Dr. Rosenlof said, "The changes are of interest to all students on the campus. It is our convication that these changes will greatly improve grading." Thompson . . .

Students should carry identifi cation cards at all times, and may be demanded at any time by the athletic deartment, finance office, library, registrar's office, student council, student health department and the Union. As to the use of identification cards at the football games, J. K. Selleck, said, "We feel we are right in giving undergraduate stu dents reduced rates and preferred locations. If we are right in doing Uiat we are right in keeping the general public from taking advan tage of it. Identification cards help us to accomplish that.
