"You cannot crush the dictators
by war unless you first realize
that man derives his civil rights
from God, not from the state,"
Father John O'Brien, professor of
philosophy of religion and politics
at Notre Dame university, told a
crowd of several hundred persons
in his general address at the Reli
gion and Life Week meeting last
night.
"For the state can say what it
has given it can take away," he
continued, "and there is no limit
to what it would take away if we
have such a belief. We are seeing
people all over the world being en
slaved because they had faith in
the state instead of God."
Climaxes Fourth Day.
Father O'Brien's speech cli

begins with a breakfast for work

council believes that considerable
aid might be given.
Change Elections.
The council proposes to loosen
the election rules since by the
present system little publicizing
for the election can be done by
political factions. More filings
might also be encouraged from
students with no political affilia
tions under this plan.
A greater publicity of the coun
cil's activities in the Daily Ne
braskan, thru reports and letters
is planned as well as a universal
subscription to the Daily Nebras
kan which the council feels, is an
imperative need to the student
body as a whole.
As a service group the council
will investigate housing conditions,
encourage co-ops, study working
conditions and will pass or. all

Husker s Rally
For Pitt Game
Friday Night
Because of the slim margin of
victory Minnesota had over the
fightin' Cornhuskers and because
of Pitt's victory over Fordham,
Tassels and Corn Cobs expect to
see a large turnout with renewed
spirit at the rally Friday night be
ginning at the Union at 7 p. m.
Lots of color and lots of noise
will be the theme of the rally. "As
a post-memorium for Armistice
day, patriotic fireworks will be
shown," said Max Laughlin, mem
ber of the Corn Cob rally commit
tee. "This display will be unusu
ally dazzling and red, white, and
blue will predominate."
Chanting the slogan "Pitt Pitt"
and shouting Husker yells, stu
dents and pep organizations will
provide plenty of noise. In be
tween cheers Don Steele will
twirl a baton sparkling with
red, white, and blue fireworks
while the regimental band plays
patriotic numbers.
Tassels, Corn Cobs, and the reg
imental band will lead the rally
down R street to 16th, up sorority
row to Vine Street, and thence to
the Union.

bizad college dinners of the past,

annual dinner, to be held in the
Union ballroom, Tuesday Nov. 18,

being done in an effort to Increase
student interest in the dinner,
according to Dean Clark.
Ticket sales for the affair will
officially start Wednesday, under
the sponsorship of the student
council of the college of business
administration. Members of the
council are John Dean, Eugene
Perry, Floyd Hewett, Joe Fleming,
Rachel Robertson,' Margaret Mead,
Gene Bradley, Harold Hunt,
students and A. B. Corson, faculty
member.
Announcement of scholastic
awards won by bizad students
during the preceding year is made
at the dinner, as well as the award
ing of keys to last year's ten top
bizad freshmen. The key awards
were initiated by the late William
Gold, a leading merchant of Lin
coln, and the practice is being con
tinued by his son, Nathan Gold.
Preliminary sales of tickets indi
cate that the capacity of the Union
ballroom will be fully utilized.

formations led by Captain Jack
McPhail. Tassels, campus wom
en's pep organization, came onto
the floor next carrying the huge
university service flag which bears
the star for each university stu

war.
With the bugle sounding atten
