DAILY NEBRASKAN
Sunday, January 17, 1943
"They can take us anytime they please," univer
sity students are saying. "We'll get this war over
with, but dammit, wc are going to Have something
to say about the peace. We arc going to sec to it
that our children don't get messed up in another
war twenty year from now. And we are certainly
not going to repeat the errors of our parents'
generation."
Students consider themselves and they are, for
that matter lenders of the world of tomorow, but
they will have little to say about the peace that
will determine tomorrow's world, their world, un
less they organize and make known their wishes
now.
Plans for a post-war world arc too often dis
cussed in abstract generalities; wc read sugges
tions every day in the papers from the talks of
Vice-President Wallace to theories like "Union
Now" by Clarence Streit.
BUT ONE THING SKEMS EVIDENT : STU
DENTS REALIZE NOW THAT A POLICY OF
ISOLATIONISM FOR THE UNITED STATES IS
IMPOSSIBLE AND IS INCONSISTENT WITH
THE POSITION WE HOLD IN THE ORGANIZA
TION OF THE WORLD. Regardless of the details
involved in making the peace, students are hoping
that the basis of the peace will be a world in
which nations will cooperate with each other, even
more closely than the United Nations now cooper
ate, to build a -world where the four freedoms are
facts, not dreams.
. Here is the job for university students: to make
known their demands for a peace of international
cooperation, and international cooperation that in
cludes the United States. And they must make
known these demands which are also apparently
the wishes of the great majority of American peo
pleso loudly, logically and clearly that no one
will dare make any other kind of a peace or follow
any other kind of policy than an international one.
The Daily Minnesotan has inaugurated an edi
torial policy aimed at impressing upon students
the need for organized action in expression of opin
ion concerning the peace. The Daily Nebraskan
joins with this policy.
The Minnesotan in conjunction with campus or
ganizations there have created "a student move
ment for internationalism." It isn't pinkish, red
dish, or "ismish." Its purposes are two-fold:
1. To fully awaken student thought and action
in this sphere.
2. To vigorously disseminate information on
this subject to parents, to the people of America
and the world, and to their responsible public
officials and representatives.
This will be accomplished by:
A. Student and student-adult forums on post
war planning for internationalism.
B. Bureaus of student speakers to address out
side groups.
C. Full utilization of the college press and of
the general press and periodicals.
D. Aggressive, intelligent use of the radio and
other means of communication.
A movement of this type will tell the world what
students, the future leaders, stand for: A PRIN
CIPLE OF INTERNATIONALISM AS OPPOSED
TO THE TYPE OF ISOLATIONISM THAT
BROUGHT THE WAR. Internationalism, not in
the sense of expansion or increase in power, but
in the understanding that the United States is an
integral part of the world and cannot stay aloof
from what is goinp on around her.
Plans for the movement are still in the forma,
tive stages. Student leaders at Minnesota are at
tempting to lay the groundwork. But the task ia
ours as well as theirs.
Essentially such a movement must be a move,
ment of all students. All students throughout
this country, throughout the world, for that
matter, must join in.
Writes the editor of the Minnesotan : -"We owe
it to the men in the armed forces most of them
former students or of student age we owe it to
ourselves and to the coming generations to do our
best to formulate a just and lasting peace based
on international cooperation and understanding.
The best that we as students can do is organize
ourselves and make known logically and fearlessly
our plans for such a peace. We cannot fail."
Here is a challenge for University of Nebraska
students. The Daily Nebraskan wants to be the
medium through which student opinion can be
expressed and organized. Please address all sug
gestions to the editor and make them as soon as
possible. The Daily will carry additional develop
ments of the movement as it takes place here and
on other campuses.

A. C P.'s Con pondent Reports boa Waahingtoa
Selective Service Note
WASHINGTON. (ACP). Men in good standing who have
had a year of almost any sort of engineering course including
sanitary, industrialist, radio, transportation, mining and metal
lurgyhave a basis for requesting occupational deferment,
according to a rceent amendment to Selective Service's Occu
pational Bulletin, No. 10.
The same goes for men who have no more than two years
remaining in certain other specialized courses bacteriology,
physics, geophysics, astronomy, chemistry, mathematics, mete
orology, naval architecture and psycology.
If you're interested, you might check at your local selec
tive service board, which probably has a copy of the amend
ment. All Quiet or- Fairly So
Three men each from the army, the navy and the man
power commission in Washington are studying procedures by
which men are to be selected to attend college under the re
cently announced army-navy college training program.
They're working like beavers on the testing procedures,
but have nothing to announce to date. Mciinwhile, male college
students are asked to keep their scats which, no doubt, is
easier said than done,
Incidentally, an army man selected for college work may
get any one of five assignments when he has completed his
studying he may go to an officer candidate school, be recom
mended for a job as a technical non-commissioned officer, re
turned to troops, in some "few cases" be tagged for advanced
technical training, and in "very exceptional cases" made avail
able for work outside the army, if that work is "deemed highly
important to the war effort."
More Women Wanted
As more and more men. advance to battle lines, more and
more women join production lines. And government agencies
are in full cry after them to fill vacated positions, both in
Washington and the states. ,
The civil aeronautics administration is offering scholar
ships to women free tuition, plus $50 for books and $75 a
month living expenses at Masachusetts Institute of Technology,
New York university, Chicago university, California Institute
of Technology and the University of California at Los Angeles.
Those scholarships arc open only to coeds with private air
pilots' licenses and college work in mathematics and physics.
But there is a second group of scholarships, offering free
tuition at the same institutions, but no further allowances, for
women not licensed as pilots.
Graduates from these courses might be employed by either
CAA or the weather bureau, with beginning salaries ranging
from 1,800 to $2,000 annually. Applications should be made
to the weather bureau office in Washington, attention research
and training section, or to any of the five universities,
Women with college degrees any degree may now qual
ify as junior engineers in the government by taking a short
tuition-free course at any college which offers engineering, and
can get together enough candidates to justify classes. Persons
who successfully complete such courses may get a junior engi
neer's job. Salary, $2,000.
Fashion Front
Here are a few things for coeds to expect along the fash
ion front:
Last year's "Easter costume won't be out of style this year
among the few new styles arc shorter jackets and the empire
silhouette, both fashion right and economical. You have the
word of the war production board for it.
Metal fasteners are short. Use of button closing is being
urged by WPB, which points out that a sizeable Rtock of fresh
water pearl buttons is available. They dye satisfactorily.
Dyestuffs are likely to be curtailed. Consequently, WPB
advises against black, dark green or brown for summer sheers.
Denim, seersuckers, sheetings and corduroy are needed
for work clothes. But percales, print cloths, broadcloths and
organdy are not as tight. However, WPB advises against cot
ton evening clothes this year, as cottons will be needed more
for daytime wear.
As to those stockings, to come back to an old war-torn
friend rayons still will be available but not as satisfactory
in very sheer weights as in heavier. Use of at least 100 denier
is advocated by WPB.
Regler

pus cops weren't so " -dumb."
Raid Party
Regler heard a rumor that this
same student was going to have
a quantity of liquor at a party he
was sponsoring at the coliseum.
Since those were prohibition days,
Regler called in the FBI to .-aid
the party. This campus leader, a
university professor and others
were arrested at the coliseum and
their liquor was confiscated. The
publication of the 'scandal sheet"
also stopped.
Five shots were fired at the
sergeant in 1929 by a man he was
chasing for molesting girls on the
campus. At that time the campus
police were not allowed to carry
guns. Later in the year, armed
with a pistol, he fired three times
at a fleeing man who accosted
college girls.
I , Polecat Piuzles
A skunk was one of the crimi
nals most successful in eluding
Regler. (jme autumn a' polecat hid
out under the coliseum for days
malting itself known by its odif er-
ous odor. Another of Reglers more
strenuous duties has been per
formed in the coliseum: that of
confiscating liquor bottles from
spectators at the game. Regler
has photographs showing him be
fore the array of bottles gathered
at some of the bigger games.
Walking into his office one
morning in 1939, the sergeant dis
covered a package, which when
unwrapped revealed a sarong au
tographed by Dorothy Lamour. A
note with it told that a student
had stolen the article, relented and
that he knew Regler would restore
the clothing to its rightful owner,
a statue in the Hurdle and Halter
at the Capital hotel.
"I have never heard an insult
ing remark from a student in 15
years on the campus," the ser
geant declares. His policy, he em
phasized, has always been to at
tempt to "straighten out" students
without arresting them.
Regler has always been close to
the students in their social activi
ties. He has served for years as a
chaperon on. parties and picnics
of fraternities and campus organi
zations, and admits that he has
accompanied secret organizations
in their sign-painting tours.
Lutherans Buy
Lot for Chapel,
Student Center
After several months of negoti
ations, the Nebraska District of
the Missouri Synod have pur
chased the lot on the northeast
corner of 15th and Q. This is to
be the site of the future Univer
sity chapel and center for Luth
eran students.
The attendance at the chapel
service, now in its third year, has
shown an appreciable increase
from year to year, manifesting the
purchase of this site for the future
use of the church body.
Transfer Property.
While building operations can
not be undertaken for some time,
Rev. H. Erck feels that this de
nomination has taken a decided
and substantial step forward in
providing for the welfare tf the
university students. Transfer of
property was made January 7.
1943. '
For the services of the coming
Sunday, to be held s usual in par
lors Y and Z of the Union, at
10:45, Rev. Erck has announced
the topic for the meeting to be
"Two Builders."

committee, the president ordered
its members "to make a study for
the taking of steps" to enable the
young men whose education ' has
been interrupted "to resume their
schooling and afford equal op
portunity for training and educa
tion of other young men of ability
after their service in the armed
forces has come to an end."
The committee is composed of:
Brig. Gen. Frederick H. Osborn,
director; Capt. C. C. Baughman,
representing the navy; Dr. Dexter
Keerer, President of Reed college,
Portland, Ore., now serving in the
office of price administration; Dr.
R. C. Harris, President of Tulane
university, New Orleans; and Dr.
John W. Studebaker, director of
office of education.
Although no action has been
taken yet, a spokesman for Gen
eral Osborn reports that the com
mittee will concentrate primarily
on returning 18 and 19 year old
student draftees to their colleges
and universities when the war is
over.
Emerson P. Schmidt, associate
professor of economics at the Uni
versity of Minnesota, has left for
Washington to serve as an eco
nomist for the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers.
