Union Movies Tonight Show Disputed Play Was the Bradley to Simmons pass incomplete or was there in terference on the play? Slow motion movies to be shown tonight at 7:30 p. m. in the Union ballroom will give students a chance to answer that question. When members of the Univer sity Club viewed the movies, their opinion of the refereeing was not too good. The pictures clearly show that as Simmons was about to catch the ball on the Missouri five yard line, defensive back Harry Ice leaped on Simmons and dragged him to the ground. The referee ruled an incomplete pass. The movies shed new light on other questionable decisions of the referees. Come and sec for your self.

Wednesday, October 29, 1941 Commenting on Article Bnrr Emphasizes Importance Of Research in Agricidtiirc Commenting on an article em phasizing the importance ot re search of industry which appeared in the new publication of the Na tional Resources Planning Board, Prof. W. W. Burr, director of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station, said that research in agri culture is of similar importance and has similar effects. Research in industry has in creased markedly in recent years and its value, according to the new magazine in bulletin form, lies in the fact that research helps in dustry to avoid obsolete methods and equipment, and unemployment. Research does the same thing for agriculture, Dean Burr contends. Convo Speaker Calls for U. S. Participation to Finish War By Art Rivin and June Jamieton Calling America a necessary factor for the defeat of the Hitler regime and the formation of a sat isfactory peace, foreign corre spondent Louis Fischer, author of "Men and Politics," drew a crowd of 650 students, faculty and towns people to the university convoca tion and an enthusiastic audience to a forum yesterday afternoon. "This is a war between Amer ica and Germany; England is a secondary factor she is only hold ing the fort for us," Fischer de clared in his speech, and drew four conclusions to prove the necessity of American intervention and aid; Britain cuuiot win the war alone because of her weak military or ganization. Germany probably cannot win the war because she cannot invade England. Britain is too busy fighting to think about a compromise peace. Only the Migration Ticket Sale Goes Slowly "Those who buy their tickets now for the migration to Manhat tan, Kans., for the Kansas Nebraska game this weekend will get the best seats and also will be assured of a seat in the student section," said John K. Selleck commenting on the slow sale of tickets to the migration. "Those who wait until the last minute to buy tickets may not get seats in the student section." Train fare, if tickets are pur chased ahead of time, is $2.65, round trip. Higher prices will be charged if students buy tickets ct the station or on the train because of additional taxes which have gone into effect since the univer sity reserved the tickets. Admission to the game is $2.25. A block of 500 seats has been purchased by the university and over 100 tickets have been sold. The special student train will leave the Burlington station in Lincoln at 7:Jo Saturday morning, arriving in Manhattan at 11:55 a. m. The return train will leave at 11:55 p.m. Saturday and reach Lincoln at 5 a. m. Sunday. State College Presidents Hold Civilian Morale Meet . . .

"It is the finding of new and useful knowledge, the develop ment of better Strains of crops and animals, better farmjng prac tices, and more economical pro duction. It also brings about more efficient production." Projects on production of crops and livestock are included in the work of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station. However, the director pointed out, it also in cludes other projects on market ing, use of farm products in the home, and operation of the farm and home equipment, which deal (See RESEARCH, page 2) United States can end the war and end it with a Hitler defeat.

In answer to those who feel that we would be "sold down the river" by Britain, Fischer declared. "Of one thing I have a clear and indelible picture the British will not quit." Assuring his audience that the United States would be in on the peace treaty to "rebuild Europe,' the speaker contended that this country will demand and get an elimination of impossible trade barriers and petty differences. He sees little hope for a real and last ing peace without the addition of American help, economically and morally. Tells How to Defeat Nazis.
