Thursday, April 16, 1942 DAILY NEBRASKAN V A Dn Warner Qives 5 Reasons For Marriage in Last of Series Listing live reasons for mar riage, Dr. Ruth Warner of the Student Health department of the university, yesterday gave a lec ture on "War and Marriage" in the last of the marriage course series. "Marriage with men in the 1-A division of the draft has two ap proaches," Dr. Warner .stated. "First, what are the reasons for marriage at all? And second, how many of these desires wil be sat isfied at this time with marriage to a man who is going to war." "There are five problems or rea sons for desiring marriage, ac cording to Dr. Warner: 1. Love. The physical sex tension between you and the mate of your choice. If you do marry, you will satisfy this desire for a while, but then will come separation. "2. Affectionate companionship sharing in hopes, fears, and dis appointments. In ordinary' times marriage for this reason is worth it, but now people should remem ber that once a married woman, always a married woman. Even with a divorce things can never be the same as before. Many Want Own Homes. "3. Marriage for a home of your own. This is the unconscious de sire of many young women to have a complete retreat from the outside world. And the short time spent in their own home may be very important in the memories of a young couple when the husband goes off to war. "4. Desire for children. All cou ples should want children, Dr. Warner asserted. Children are a Agreeing with Daily ... Students Show Sympathy For Negroes in Defense Different in Army By John Bauermeister. Whole-hearted agreement with the editorial on racial discrimina tion appearing in Tuesday's Daily, was the consensus of opinion of students interviewed in yester day's "grill survey." Students on this campus are in sympathy with members of the colored race being denied defense Jobs, but felt that probably some discrimination should be made for racial differ ences in the army. Almost all felt that negroes had as much right to occupy a defense position as the whites. Among the interesting com ments and criticisms obtained was the theory advanced that . we should not discriminate between races when one ofthe reasons for entering this war was to defeat the axis powers and defeat racial discrimination. Another inter viewee took the opposite view and felt that there were natural inborn inferior and superior mental traits between the various races. An ex ample cited by this person was that of the negro raised from the status of slave to his present level through the efforts and culture of the white race in America. Most Thought. The most common opinion pre sented was that racial discrimina tion would have to be prevalent in armed forces for the single reason of quartering and co-operation in ranks. The ideas presented arje: Llllle Klein, sophomore, bizad: "In defense industries I don't SOW! 'tutrix;.

Enjoyment of each other more than anyone else among their friends. The two persons are mutually stimulating. They are afraid that the bond will be broken if he goes to war without marriage, but this means that they don't have enough faith in each other to wait.

Dividing the teams into groups of either six or seven each, six preliminary rounds will be car ried on at one time in the faculty lounge, music room, . Commuter's club room and in rooms 313, 315, 316 of the Union. Six questions will be asked each of the teams: one on ars, one thought question, and one on either the far eastern situation or European developments. The re maining questions may cover any of the above or general knowledge think it's justifiable, but in armed forces they'd have to almost sep arate negroes from the whites." Peggy Elliott, junior, teachers: "I don't see why negroes can't be in the marines if they can be in the army. The negro race is just as representative of our country as the whites when it comes to fighting for liberty and this coun try's name." Vivien Hillebrandt, sophomore, teachers: "There shouldn't be any racial discrimination in this coun try anymore, it seems to me. The reason some whites are prejudiced against negroes is probably be cause' they have failed where the negro has been successful." It Is Justifiable. Emil Mueller, sophomore engi neer: 'I suppose I'm a radical, and I suppose I could be wrong, but I think racial discrimination is justifiable. It's just natural that some races are inferior to others. The negro race, for instance, in Africa still is considered more backward and less intelligent than other races. The negroes in this country are not necessarily prod ucts of their own culture. They are what they are today through the white man's institutions of learning and culture." Helen Marcey, sophomore bizad: "I don't think much of it at all. If we want to remain a democratic nation, we certainly cannot recog nise racial discriminations of any kind." Janet Shaw, arts and science: "We certainly can't discriminate between races, If we're fighting a war to defeat the axis and defeat racial discrimination." Warren Feckter, sophomore, bizad: "I don't like It. I've lived In the south for a long time and they certainly couldn't get by with what they do to negroes up in this section of the country."

"A definite need exists," Thiel commented, "to reach the entire student body with the Daily Ne braskan, and this plan is the beat way to do it" When Thiel called for discussion of the "periodical" barb amend- come too much for the woman if she is married. Many broken homes followed marriages of this sort after the World war." Couples shouldn't always make their decisions to marry withouut consulting someone else, but if they do get some real advice and feel that they have lived long enough to evaluate their fiancee correctly, Dr. Warner declared that "they should marry and God bless them."

In speaking for the amendment, Byram said, "The long arm of the faction says that certain members should be holdovers regardless of work done or anything else. That is what we want to change." Mary Rosborough, affiliated woman on the Council, agreed with him, but both Thiel and Marion Cramer Aden argued that reforms are needed but not to the point where the whole Council constitu tion had to be wrecked as would be the case, they said, if the barb proposal was passed.
