The Saving Grace
Above the lobby of the university coliseum ts
a room dedicated to the accomplishments of 70
generations of Cornhusker athletes. Rarely visited
by most student, this N club room is lined witti
scores of trophies bearing testimony to the athletic
prowess of former Nebraska teams.
Along the south wall of that Bumptiously fur
nished apartment one might notice an empty space
between two large couches. That empty niche is
reserved for a small shabby bell left at Columbia a
week ago Saturday after the Cornhuskers bowed
to a mightier Tiger team.
The bell, itself, is rather unimportant. Weigh
ing about 50 pounds it is a good example of a
decoration that had seen better days and except
for the thought behind the inscription on its stand
it would mar the aesthetic appearance of the room.
But it is the inscription that saves the trophy and
makes it one of the most coveted of the collection.
The inscription reads:
Tigers- Huskers
Who Win and Lose Gloriously
Perhaps that sentiment does not mean a lot,
but it is the saving grace of the game of football
as it is played today.
Today, collegiate football is played by more
than just the eleven men on the field. Every Sat
urday thousands of fans play the game from the
stands and beside their radios. Mentally they
charge the line, defend the goal, carry the ball
and dispute the decisions of the referee. As a re
sult it is entirely too easy to think only of winning
the game. It is entirely too easy to think only in
terms of the honor and reflected glory that can
come when the hom. loam chalks up a record re
splendent with victories. It is entirely too easy to
think only in terms of better schedules and larger
crowds, of bigger stadiums and handsomer profits
for the sponsoring institutions. And it is entirely
too easy to lose sight of the real values of the game.
Three weeks ago after the first loss of the sea
son to Indiana, members of the actively playing
team expressed only admiration for the victorious
Hoosiers. Two weeks ago after the second loss
of the season to Missouri, members of the actively
playing team expressed the opinion that the exhibi
tion had provided some of the best football to be
seen on any field in the country. And last week
after a crushing upset members of the playing
team turned out yesterday to prepare for a gruel
ing contest with one of the nation's top teams next
Saturday.
It doesn't make much difference to the mem
bers of the actively playing team that the fans in
the stands and by the radios are ready to quit
after thre? defeats. It doesn't make much differ
ence that the experts aren't giving the boys much
of a chance to win, for those boys have learned the
value of the game. They can have just as good a
time whether they win or lose, for they know the
secret that saves the game they know how to win
and lose gloriously.
Morton Margolin.
By executive order Sunday night the president
transferred the Coast Guard from the Treasury de
partment to the Navy. This step comes under
ordinary conditions only upon our official entrance
into war. The move was not made wit congres
sional authorization, however, for C n s gave
the president power to do so any time that he saw
fit. The major importance of the step and its main
significance is that it was made several months
ahead of schedule, for it was planned to happen at
the first of the year 1942 and not now. It seems
that our shipbuilding program is not the only thing
ahead of schedule these days.
Reports from the Far East give credenc to the
fact that Japan is feeling the pinch of no American
oil these days, as they are rumored to be ready to
offer a compromise to the U. S. The compromise
involves three points: (1) U. S. to resume trade
with Japan especially regarding oil shipments, (2)
ica was the aggressor in the north Atlantic, and
Japan in turn to ignore German claims that Amer
(3) Japan also to agree not to interfere with U. S.,
British and Dutch interests in the south Pacific.
The importance of the second point is that
under her agreement with Germany and Italy,
Japan was to enter the war on the side of Germany
if any other power (specifically the U. S.) began
aggression against Germany. Then if Japan ig
nored the German claim that the north Atlantic
"shoot on sight" policy of U. S. is aggression, she
will not be obliged to enter the war against the
U. S. and she still will not be flagrantly violating
her axis agreement.
The U. S. would be foolish to consider such a
proposal which so clearly indicates the critical
problem that the Japanese are facing in regard to
an oil shortage. At any rate it is not likely that
the administration will consider any proposal which
does not include a settlement which will benefit
China also. Obviously the Japanese proposal is de
signed to allow her to give full attention to her
aggressin in China and fight with American oil.
That situation went on for too long a time anyhow
prior to our trade embargo for us to scrap the
embargo now that we have had it for so short a
time; at least no without some relief for China.

"No, this is not meant to be a lecture on the
"Evils of Womanhood." Girls are all right as long
as you leave them alone. However, now that the
male shortage created by the gone-with-the-draft
movement has placed a value on men, the girls
don't seem to want to be left alone.
Men, what are you doing to ward off women?
If you have started carrying a club, or stopped
taking baths, or pledged Phi Phi, nothing more
can be expected. The following student survey.

Refugee Tells
Of Conditions
On Continent
AMES, la. (ACP). "Living con
ditions on the European contin
ent are even worse than most
Americans suspect," says Herbert
Kadden, freshman engineering
student at Iowa State college.
Kadden, a German citizen, was
Interned in Belgium when the
nazi war machine rolled into the
low countries. He later was sent
to a concentration camp in south
ern France, where he stayed 10
months, refusing to go back to
Germany.
"Forty thousand refugees of all
nations, most of them Spanish
Loyalists, lived in one camp," Kad
den said. "Altho they suffered
from hunger, epidemics and bad
treatment from their guards, most
internees preferred to stay there
rather than return to their to
talitarian homelands."
When Kadden was liberated he
made his way across Spain and
was impressed by the extreme
poverty and demoralization of the
Spanish people, which he declared
surpassed anything, he had seen

He declared the morale of Eu
ropean nations depends heavily up
on their food supplies. The Nor

relatively high quality rations, of

severe food shortage, Kadden

The department of tropical med
icine at Tulane university school
of medicine is becoming one of the
most important in the world since
most European schools are closed
because of the war.
Apparently the culinary art is
not confined to the females if the
number of men baching on ag
camnus is any criteria. And ap
parently the men are rather fond
of the art because last Thursday
evening 40 of them banded togeth
er in the ag college laboratory ana
formed the first official bachelor's
club at Nebraska.
The club has a three-fold pur
poseto bring about co-operative
buying of foodstuffs, to promote
barb participation in intramurals,
and to provide a social program
for the men. Thruout the year die
ticians will speak before the group
and discussions will be held con
cerning the preparation of food
and methods of cooking. It is
hoped that the club will bring
about more balanced diets for the
students.

Baid at the meeting Thursday eve
ning. Prof. T. H. Goodding, of the
agronomy department spoke to the
group.

no great number of them have
heretofore pooled their resources
and bought groceries together the
saving has not been as great as
desired. With the institution of
this new c''ib. members will be
able to purchase commodities at
wholesale prices.
