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. Demonstrates Stunts

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

Designed primarily for the pur

program, a conference of Ne

"Research in agriculture makes
progress possible," Dean Burr
stated. "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

Voluntary Work.
Besides encouraging the wide'

and teachers in all types of volun

eral purpose is stated as follows:
To utilize the extensive expe

sion of problems of common in

of our schools, colleges and univer

the war, there would be fighting
for at least four more years. 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.
