a great help to the Daily Nebraskan.
Faith in a Crisis
In this time of crisis we are all thinking of what
we can do to help prepare the country for war if
it comes. However, most of us think primarily jf
the physical side of this preparation. It is time
we gave some thought to the spiritual side.
For this reason the University of Nebraska
Council of Religious Welfare has chosen for its
theme for Religion and Life Week, Nov. 8 to 13
"Faith in a Time of Crisis." The purpose of the
week's program is to present to students and faculty
members a ringing statement of religious faith; to
strengthen the established campus religious groups
and programs; and to further develop co-operative
leligious work on the campus. Well-known religious
leaders from all over the country will come to Lin
coln to conduct the program.
We cannot stress too much the need for religious
thought and inspiration for strong faith in a time
when we must muster all our mental and spiritual
forces as well as our physical force to withstand
this war. Every student will have a chance to gain
inspiration during Religious and Life Week.

With Homecoming rapidly approaching, plans for
its celebration assume increasing prominence in
alumni association activities. In addition to many
meetings, celebrations, and events already men
tioned, the Nebraska Alumni association will hold
its annual Homecoming meeting of its national
board of diiectors at 10:00 a. m. Saturday. Larry
F.ly, former all-american center and one of the di
rectors, will lie here for the meeting and game.
Combined this year with the ATO's homecoming
celebration, will be the 30th reunion of the frater
nity's class of 1911. with at least eight of its ten
memlieis already signed up to attend. Friday eve
ning there will be an alumni reception at the gov
ernor's mansion to which all three ATO Nebraska
governors and their wives have been invited. Sat
uuiay night an ATO dance will be held at the
Cornhusker.
The Delts homecoming celebration Saturday,
likewise, will be climaxed by a banquet and dance
in the evening. A special block of seats has been
reserved by Delt alumni for the game.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, it was re
vealed by a recent compilation, employs 55 univer
sity graduates. About thiee-fourths of them, most
df whom Law college graduates, are special agents
Amazing to note is the fact that the alumnae of
fice makes from 500 to 1,000 changes in address
of Nebraska alumnae in its files every month!
The University of Nebiaska News, alumnae quar
terly publication, has just been sent to approxi
mately 15,000 grads. Also in the mails, recently
is the Oct, issue of the Nebraska Alumnus, maga
zine published by the alumnae association.

History Lesson For Today
During my recent excavations at Pompeii, I dis
covered several Roman manuscripts which throw
a new light on history. Thanks to the help of the
Foreign Language department on the campus, 1
was able to translate these scrolls of 2,000 years
ago. And now, I humbly announce the results of my
research.
'
The leading ruler of ancient civilisation was not
Alexander the Great, nor the Pharaoh, nor even
Julius Caesar. Rather, he was Julius' cousin, twice
removed on his mother's side: Caesar the Weasel.
At the age of four, this Caesar fell heir to the
Roman Empire. Immediately, he crashed thru with
an administration of iron discipline. His domestic
policies Included a national emergency, defense pri
orities, and a sales tax on all out-standing street
cars. Yes, the young ruler had an eye to the future.
The other he had lost in a fight with the village
cat.
At the age of seven, the Weasel won the affec
tion of a little peasant girl from South Omaha
whom he soon married. Domestic life did not appeal
to his unsettled disposition, however. Because he
loved his little wife, he buried her with an elaborate
ceremony.
When he was nne, Rome's mighty monarch grew
tired of life. He drank poison. He spun around three
times. He leapt high in the air. And he died. But
just before he passed on, he raised himself on one
elbow and murmured gently: "Turn up the lights,
please. I don't want to go home in the dark." One
of his soldiers was heard to reply: "You ain't goin'
home."
Dear Editor:
The America First committee stands for
Christian tolerance, humanitarian idealism, and
American realism.
The principles of the University of Nebraska
chapter of the AFC are:
1 Our first duty is to keep America out of
foreign wars. Our entry would only destroy
democracy, not save it. "The path to war is a
false path to freedom."
2 Not by acts of war abroad but by preserv
ing and extending democracy at home can we aid
democracy and freedom in other lands.
3 In 1917 we sent our American ships into
the war zone and this led us to war. In 1941 wc
must keep our naval convoys and merchant vessels
on this side of the Atlantic.
4 We must build a defense, for our own
shores, so strong that no foreign power or combina
tion of powers can invade our country, by sea. air
or land.
5 Humanitarian aid is the duly of a strong,
free country at peace. With proper safeguard for
the distribution of supplies, we should feed and
clothe the suffering and needy people of the oc
cupied countries.
Time magazine in its Oct. 6 issue quoted the
national executive council of the AFC as stating.
"We deplore the injection of the race issue into
the discussion cf war and peace. "The University
of Nebraska chaptci of the AFC condemns those
who have injected anti-Catholism, anti-Semitism,
and anti-Germanism into the debate on interven
tion. It opopses these intolerance s as un-American
as w II as anti-Christian. The AFC opposes all
isms' except Americanism.
The American First Committee opposes aid to
Communistic Russia because such aid is not essen
tial for the defense of Ihe U. S. Finland is an
honest fii nd of the U. S. and the AFC opjxises
suppoi ting Russia in its attempted it-invasion of
that sturdy nation. Shame on those who would
send millions of American men to die to uisuie the
inaintainanee of the Communistic athiestic regime
in Russia.
No Communist, Nazis, t'nion-nousers of fascist
are allowed membership in the America Fijt
committee.
Some of the above groups and their fellow
travelers who have been excluded from mi mbei -ship
in the AFC have attempted to smear the per
sonnel and leadirship ol the AFC. There aie
those who have attempted to smtar such great
American patriots as Senators Wheeler and Clark
and Representatives Fish and Sweeney who have
been active leaders in the American First move
ment. Such smear attacks are very understand
able when one realizes that they can not attack
the principles of the AFC because fhey are unim
peachable. Eighty per cent of the American peo
ple support the aim of the AFC "to keep America
out of foreign wars.'' The AFC consists of twenty
million Americans and the committee is growing
by the thousands every day!
All militant pacifists and isolationists that is
isolationist from foreign wars are invited to be
come members of the University of Nebraska
chapter of the America First Committee.
Sincerely.
Luckey Paul,
Acting secretary of the University of
Nebraska America First Committee.
