VesSeDeir Speaks

By Alan Jacobs.
Nazi conduct of the war reveals three striking features:
the "bloodless strategy, the perfection of mechanized offensive
and the role of amateur strategists," declared Prof. H. C. Ved
eler of the history department at the fifth of the university war

lectures neui at tne union on Monaay aiternoon.
Speaking for the second consecutive week on the "Amer
ica and World War II" course, Professor Vedeler said that the
idea of destruction only in war-time has been erased with the
German method of working for internal disintegration so that
the fruits of victory can be won by diplomacy or by the quick
use of the military for mopping up.
Amateurs Losing.
Altho the amateur strategists have triumphed in the Rhine
land, Austria, Sudctenland, Czechoslovakia, Poland and
France, they lost when Hitler had
to go to war to get Poland, when
England and France refused a
peace after Poland, Dunkirk and
the battle of Britain; when Russia
did not fold, and when the United
States entered the war.
"The war has affected every
phase of German life," said the
speaker. The nazl reconstruction
before and during the war marks
another stage in the unification
and centralization of Germany
which has been in progress since
the period of the French revolu
tion and Napoleon.
"The exigencies of war have
driven Germany forward Into an
other phase of the revolution pro
ceeding there since 1914. The nazi
rulers have succeeded in fusing
the Germany economy with the
European as never before, but
under the privations, dislocation,
and extraordinary demands of the

I Conservation on Waste Paper!::
Marks UN's Defense Effort :
Nebraska is saving waste paper now, and
lota of it, for from one or one-and-a-half to
two tons a week is being collected by the jani
tors. And the university has stopped using so
much paper for mimeographing tests and giv
ing examinations.
Each noon the scrap paper from all over
the campus is brought by the janitors to the
west stadium where it is sent to the street
floor. Sacks are then emptied and the paper
bailed into 100-pound bales, making five to sir
bales a day. Once a week the junkman comes
to buy the paper, haul it away, and sell it to
the government.
In bailing the paper newspapers are sepa
rated from the rest of the scrap paper and put
in bundles. Magazines and slick papers are
also divided from the rest, since both of these
kinds of paper bring higher prices than ordi
nary waste paper.
Waste paper, however, has not always been
worth even enough for the jtmkman to haul it
away. During the middle 1920 's, paper did
have definite value the same as it does today?
but this value diminished and several yean
later the junkman hauled it out in sacks. Durv
ing one period the university took it over to
the junkman to get rid of it, and in the late
30 's even the junkman wouldn't take it. The
university had to haul it to the city dump it
self. Now again UN can afford to bail the waste
paper. The receiving clerks bail it in their
spare time.
"It is much easier to collect waste paper if
people do not throw broken glass into the con
tainers," C. A. Donaldson, purchasing agent
for the university, explained yesterday. "But
ordinarily departments and students have,
been very good about it."
Also in line with the national defense pro-i
gram is the effort of the university to save
typewriter ribbons, since they may soon be
come scarce. Collections are made by taking
them from the paper baskets, or in some eases,
departments send them over the mail.
