How About Ice Skating?
Now that the political breezes have stopped
blowing and the breezes of Old Man Winter have
started to blow, many students are thinking about
winter sports. It is, of course, too early to indulge
in such sports, but it is not too early to be think
ing about how to remedy the lack of facilities near
the campus for this type of recreation. With no
high hills for skiing and bob sledding and no lakes
for ice boating, we can't approach anything like the
Dartmouth winter carnival. But we could arrange
some facilities for ice skating. Perhaps one of the
malls could be flooded for the purpose; or, that
failing, perhaps an artificial pond could be made
somewhere on ag campus. If enough student in
terest is aroused to warrant a pond, it would be
worthwhile for either the university or some or
ganization on campus to sponsor it.

Alpha Tau Omega actives are still wondering
which of their pledges answered the telephone the
other night and when asked if it was the Alpha
Tau Omega house, said: "I don't know, but anyway
it's ATO."

From selective service headquarters in Wash
ington comes the name of a registrant of a draft
board in Ohio. It is Noah Harvey Herman Daniel
Boone Buster Brown David Longworth. We'd just
call him "Butch" if we knew him.

Speaking of draft boards, we heard about an-
cther one that received an engraved wedding invi
tation from one of its registrants.

The SAE's have changed. Instead throwing
water and eggs at the DU's serenading the women's
houses across the way not so long ago, the Sig
Alpha hung out the windows and begged in fal
setto voices for the DU's to come over and favor
them with a song too.

So the Pink Rag told who wrote the gore for
the Awgwan-Flash last month. So now the Flash
moguls are getting some news writers "because it
isn't a. good idea for the students to know who
writes about them." So we think the Fla.sh moguls
are chickens.

Delta Gamma pledges made quite a spla.sh
when they arrived enmasse one Wednesday eve
to study in the library. All the long suffering stu

We're all for new ways of getting news but
the Nebraskan reporter who listened at the key
hole while the men's point board held a "reporter

Behind the News
By David Thompson
Will Japan Attack?
What are Japan's plans in Siberia? This ques
tion again comes into the spotlight with the report
that a Japanese patrol had attacked a Russian
guard post on the Russian-Manchukuo border. It
seems rather insignificant in itself, but it is a great
deal more significant than it appears on the sur
face. Japan has concentrated moat of her crack troops
on the Manchukuo border without any reason be
ing advanced for their presence there. In fact, none
of these troops has been withdrawn from that area
ever, even when the Chinese campaign demanded
it While Russia was at peace in the west, Japan
could not afford to weaken "her Manchukuo de
fenses, but now that Ruswia is so completely occu
pied in the German campaign there can be no justi
fication for the great concentration of Japanese
troops other than that they are are being prepared
for an offensive in Siberia.
The Nipponese have long followed a policy of ex
pediency in the field of foreign affairs, always hook
ing up with the side they were sure was going to
win. As long as the future of the present war was
doubtful, Japan took a rather noncommittal posi
tion, but now that the German campaign against
Russia (long an enemy and threat to Japan) is
proceeding so successfully, it is likely that the Nip
poneae will jump "on the bandwagon." Her chief
value to the axis to date has been her "nuisance
value" to the U. S. in keeping part of our atten
tion, at least, in the Pacific and thus hindering our
aid to Russia. Now, However, a stab in the back
of Russia would also be an aid to the axis plans.
The border incident in that light, then, is an in
dication that Japan is getting ready to move, and
that she is beginning to manufacture excuse for
an attack in Siberia, however, little excuse is
needed by the aggressors.

Dear Friend:
There are those who would speak for death.
There are those who would speak for hate. There
are those who would speak for hunger, for gassed
children, for blinded men, for twenty year old wid
ows, for burning cities, for sinking ships, for blast
ed crops, for terror in darkness, and for the chaos
resulting from war.
I would speak for peace and all the arts, skills,
contentments, and culture of peace. I would spcax
for the design for living that has, within its multi
tudinous wealth of detail, the objective of the
happy valley and the busy pleasant city. I would
speak for the village doctor making his daily round
to husband the well-being of those depending upon
his skill; the church bell calling the faithful on a
Sunday morning and the patient Padre mixing spir
itual sustenance with a little needed scolding; the
craftsman blending beauty with utility while creat
ing from the materials at bis command; the teach
er reliving her life over and over again while guid
ing, protecting, and instructing to the end that the
new generation might be superior to her own; the
landsman, reaching deep to plant, stretching wide
to cultivate and piling high to harvest, giving, thru
his accomplishment, food for the many; the mer
chant distributing, along with his wares, friendli
ness and tanty bits of harmless gossip of the day;
the housewife building a home out of hopes for
success, savings from earnings, laughter of chil
dren, tears, smiles, fears, gifts, snatches of song
ind the love that surpasses all reasoning; the prom
ise of greening crops, the lure of forest trails, the
f.-utcinatinn of speeding planes, the stimulation of
thundering .factory production lines; the inspiration
al outcomes of dexterity and cleverness, and a hun
dred things contributing to betterment of human
existence.
Very truly,
Raymond E. Manchester,

Henry, the Racoon, Changes
His (Her) Name to Henrietta
By Mary Kierstead.
Henry the racoon is Henrietta
the racoon.
Henry, the racoon at Bessey
hall, no longer is known by the
name, Henry, because well Henry
is a she. He rather she the
spritely little pet of Don Davis
and Kdson Fichter of the roology
department, enjoys mid-night
walks in a roomful of rattlesnakes,
and also likes to climb trees when
ever she gets a chance.
Henrietta, though docile enough
when caged, enjoys her freedom to
the fullest extent whenever she
escapes from her pen, and she is
willing to bite even Davis and
Fichter to keep her liberty.
Find He's a She.
Because of this mean streak in
her rr.ake-up it was always as
sumed that she was of masculine
gender since "Females are seldom
of such a vicious nature," accord
ing to Davis.
The racoon was given to Davis
this summer when he was work
ing on the game commission near
Auburn. Henry rather Henrietta
was then about three weeks old.
Since that time Henrietta has
escaped three times. Once when
her guardians were bringing her
to Bessey she jumped out of the
car. After several hours hunt they
found her calmly playing in a
wood pile.
Henrietta Played Tarzan.
On the day of freshman convo
cation, Henrietta again got loose
and played Tarzan in the pine
trees north of Besey. Davis, of
course, was the pursuing head
hunter to the enjoyment of numer
ous freshmen watching the esca
pade. A short while ago Henrietta
went on her third spree when she
spent the night tearing up mounted
ducks and breaking bottles in the
room where she was kept.
Fichter is keeping the racoon in
order to take pictures of her for
his study of Nebraska mammals.
. . . But Sprees Continue
The ultimate end of her however
Davis says cheerfully, will prol
ably be a mounted skin in Morrill
hall.

stipulates that the candidate must
receive not greater than 10 per
cent lass of the number of votes
cast for either senior or junior
class president, depending on
which the the least number.
Barbs Fail to Back Candidates.
Initiating a new practice for
this fall, the barb party did not
back any candidates, but concen
trated its efforts on promoting the
proposal to amend the constitu
tion of the student council.
Identity of honorary colonel will
be concealed until her presentation
at the military ball Dec. 5. Prince
Kosmet and Nebraska sweetheart
both will be presented at the Kos
met Klub' Fall Revue, Nov. 20.
Identity of these two victorious
candidates will not be announced
until that time.
In all, 1944 ballots were cast in
the election, which, according to
Student Council President Burton
Thiel, indicates quite a favorable
percentage of the student body
came to the polls.
