S. air force to bomb Japanese cities, the latest national poll of Student Opinion Surveys of Amer ica reveals. Much was said, before World War II earnestly got underway, about the advantages and disad vantages of dropping explosives over civilian population centers, but events of recent months and weeks have shown that bombing of cities has become an integral part of modern war strategy. A few days before the Japanese bombed Manila after it had been declared an open city Student Opinion Surveys completed a poll in which more than nine out of every ten students interviewed favored retaliation. No doubt feel ing; has flared still higher since the attack on the Philippine cap ital. Only Military Objectives. Of those who answered in the affirmative, it is important to point out, a little less than half specified that although they were in favor of bombing Nipponese urban centers, our fliers should make it a point to strike at mili tary objectives only. This is how opinion divides: "Do you approve .or disap prove of the U. S. air force bombing Japanese cities?" Approve 63 Approve, but military ob jectives only 29 Disapprove 6 Undecided 2 The problems involved in singl ing out military objectives, of the (Dag 44 to ers Annex Sctory V. SID HELD Lincoln Journal Exhibiting a somewhat spotty offense, Ne braska's Cornhusikeis got off to a good start in conference cage circles by dropping a Kansas State quintet, 44-38, last night at the coliseum. Ably led by Sid Held, high scoring guard, the Huskers were in the driver's seat thruout. Last night marked the opening of the Eig Six confer ence season which is destined to be one of the hottest in the lague's history. Kansas took tne leaa wun less man a mwuie of playing time having elapsed when George Men dennall slipped in a close shot for two points. Johnny Thompson soon evened the count however when he hit from way out with a perfect swiaher. With two minutes gone Johnny Fitzgibbon collected a bucket to set the Scarlet cageis into & lead that they never lot. The Huskers left the floor sporting a 21-11 lead at the halftime. In the early moments of the second period it looked like the host club was going to run away with the contest as they potted 11 points in the first Z3 minutes to their opponents 2.

Council Meets This Afternoon Student Council will meet this afternoon at 5 p. m. in room 313 of the Student Union according to Burton Thiel, council president geographical difficulties of attack ing the Japanese Islands from the air, are, of course, not taken up in this survey. All that is reflected is the general attitude of college stu dents, many of whom, since the army and navy air corps prefer college-trained men, are the poten tial pilots who will participate in the raids already promised the Japanese. It is of interest to note a slight but significant difference of opin ion among college youth in the eastern and western parts of the country. Perhaps it is the propin quity of the Pacific conflict to westerners and realization of their own danger from the sky that makes more of them say, "Bomb Jap cities, but not indiscrimin ately only military objectives:" East West U. S. U. S. Approve of bomb ing cities 65 56 Military objectives only 27 35 Disapprove ..... 6 6 Undecided 2 2 The Woalhcr It will be cloudy and colder to day with light snow in the ex treme south.
