What should it mean to five thousand students at the Uni versity of Nebraska? This Christmas should be a time w hen students thank God that they are privileged to live in this country and pursue those activities which they themselves wish to pursue. Freedom is a term we use too lightly, failing to realize the true meaning of the word. This Christmas should be a time when students ronli'p tho sacrifices and hardships their parents have been thru, that a i i t . . mey mignt nave a college education. This Christmas should be a time when students think of the university itself.

Men stndenta' careers have Deen pretty well decided by the war and navy departments, but the women on this campus can and must find a place to use the knowledge they have acquired in the war program. This Christmas should be a time when students think ac tively of a personal philosophy, religion or ideals which will carry thera successfully thru the years to come.

The reason for dropping the ag col lege publication was the general lack of interest and the extreme costs of publication. This decision has been pending for some time and at first it was thought that the magazine could be published at least three or four times during the year. How ever, after much consideration, this plan was also dropped and the publication will not printed until after the duration. This means that what publicity ag college gets will mostly be through the Daily Nebraskan.

V By Raymond Manchester A Thought For Christmas The moment this present terrible exhibition of human en deavor is completed, the one most urgent and necessary act of intelligent people (the world over) is that of outlawing all wars. Man, capable of remarkable achievement in all of the arts and all of the sciences, can and must create the needed plans and programs for organizing all human relationships in such a way as to feature co-operation and understanding. Fur thermore, such plans and programs should not be limited to one nation or to one continent. Ambitious persons (any where and everywhere) must not be allowed any opportunity to whip up war fevers or empire-expansion dreams. Wars can be stopped. Wars must be stopped. There are millions of decent persons in this and other nations who can and must say, "No!" When war mania breaks out the next time, these persons must act immediately and aggressively. War, like smallpox, diphtheria and typhoid, is a scourge which can be isolated and destroyed if attended to in time. Decent people can do it. Decent people must do it. No arguments are necessary to support the statement that the tragic outcomes of wars are stupendous destruction of ma terials that might be used to promote the welfare and happi ness of mankind: acute and terrible physical suffering by millions of men, women and children; staggering losses in the lives of those who might otherwise make splendid contributions to their fellownien; unbearable burdens of debt thrown upon coming generations; destruction of idealism within the minds of the young; elimination of spiritual values and complete anni hilation of international good-will. No proofs are necessary to establish these self-evident facts. When this present world catastrophe is over, every person and every organization can and must oppose war not with "ifs," "maybe V' "on-the-other-hand's" or "however's," but with a forthwith, outright "No 1" There must be no expediency and no compromise. 'Wars can be stopped. Wars must be stopped. RAYMOND E. MAflUHJSSTliiK. Office: Dean of Men, Kent State University, Kent, Ohio.
