Superior Training,
Minds, Fury Here
(ionium boys being culled up for t he front
receive only six weeks 1 1. in tn? and arc being
drilled in t lie tents of nazi idealogy, "that
1hoy may fight with greater fury,'' a New
York Times dispatch reported yesterday.
-Mtho it is true, Hitler's youth movement
lias infested the minds of the very young (icr
inan boys who are trained early in fighting,
.Americans can feel confident that their young
Men are receiving the best in training and
preparation for battle.
Especially is this true for college students,
who, for the most part, have been instructed
in military science thru KOTC programs. And
now with the ever increasing prospect of the
abandonment of the KOTC as it is known to
day, both the army and the navy have an
nounced special programs that insure the col
lege student the very finest of training.
The armed services of the U. S. want men
and officers as fast as possible; courses have
been shortened; classes are being graduated
in record time. Yet almost every soldier com
pletes at least "nine weeks of basic training,
not to mention more time for advanced train
ing. The various programs into which members
of the KRC will be directed call for a rapid
turn-over of men, but quality in training has
been placed before speed in instruction.
What is more, little time has been spent in
drilling the "tents of American idealogy" into
U. S. soldiers so that "they can fight with
greater fury."
Most American soldiers are fighting, con
sciously or not, for the American idealogy;
they need not be drilled in it. "I'm in 1his
war to get the damn thing over with' is the
general attitude and to every such statement
can be added, "so 1 can start living a happy,
peaceful life in a democratic world." That
is the idealogy of the American soldier, and
it has not been drilled into in.
Superior training will tell; a sincere and
wholesome philosophy will dominate. Hotter
trained, clearer thinking American soldiers are
fighting and shall fighL with more fury Ihan
even Hitler could hope for from his well
drilled Herman hovs."
Dear Editor:
Because of a misunderstanding of a tech
nical detail concerning radio transmission, your
collegiate broadcasting station will not go on
the air at 10 o'clock tonight. I'N'IOH will not
feature programs of strictly student interest
in 1 he near future.
Station UN'KM would not have been able
to produce student program at all if it had
not had the complete and welcomed coopera
tion of the entire campus. For that. Ave sav,
"Thank you."
You accented an idea that was new to all
of us and you made this idea a fact. You
furnished the announcers, sinners, actors, nro
ducers, directors, scrip writers, sound effect
artists and "idea men." You were the listen
ing audience.
Your campus station was not an official
part of the university. Nevertheless, it did
receive the cooperation of at least six univer
sity departments and three publications. For
that, we say "Thank you."
Over (iO of you have worked regularly as a
part of the VXEH staff. Over L'OO of you have
had speaking or singing parts in front of the
IWKIi mike. For that, we say "Thank you."
The idea that became a fact is now an idea
again. Possibly we could not hope to' make
permanent this organization when everything
else is being changed. At least, we can hope
that, after victory, Nebraska students will
again operate their own Broadcasting station.
Until then, we will simply concentrate on the
latest rumors concerning the KRC.

Use Students For Farm Work
About 500,000 college and high
school students must be recruited
to work on farms in the summer
and fall if the country's record
food production goals are to be
met, Department of Agriculture
officials reported Thursday.
Dubbed victory farm volunteers,
these workers will be signed up by
colleges, high schools, and every
available youth organization. Al
though local communities used
student labor last year, this is the
first time youth has been organ
ized nationally as a farm labor
force, agriculture officials report.
National Scale.
The office of education, the ex
tension service of agriculture and
the War Manpower commission
are co-operating in directing the
program, and Y. M. C. A.'s,
Y. VV. C. A.'s, 4-H clubs, Future
Farmers of America, and many
other youth groups are offering
their facilities in carrying it out.
The American Youth Hostiers, for
instance, have waived their rule
which prohibits anyone from liv
ing for more than three days in a
hostel, to accommodate students
working on local farms.
New York state has amended
its education laws to allow, high
school boys to miss 30 school days
during the year when they are do
ing farm work, and other states
are making similar adjustments.
Seasonal Work.
Boys and girls from 14 years up
will be recruited, and set to work
for periods varying from a few
days to four months on harvesting
jobs, general farm work, and in
food processing plants.
Prevailing wages .will be paid,
agriculture officials report, with
certain allowances made for the
workers inexperience when they
begin. The volunteers will live at
home when possible, or in camps
or schools. Older workers will
often live on the farms where
they are working.
By June 1 when most students
are out of school and the first ha-
vesting falls due the program
will be underway, agriculture of
ficials report.
The children's bureau has al
ready worked out certain physical
standards which the colleges and
schools will be asked to observe in
signing up volunteers. Depart
ment of agriculture is at work
gathering statistics locally on just
what the labor needs of each com
munity are, and the extension
service is doing the recruiting job,
aided by the Office of Civilian De
fense and the United States Em
ployment Service in th larger
cities.
Six Thousand
Bandages Plus
Still to Roll
. . . For Red Cross
BY JOE KINSEY.
Down on paper 6,500 bandages
sounds like an awful lot! "And
it is." said Kay Wells, head of
the Red Cross staff of the YW,
and the quota must be met within
the next two meetings of the
surgical dressings group."
Determination to those who
signed up for the four weeks, and
forgot to show up last time. In
spiration to those who always
come in a little bit late when a
worthwhile opportunity presents
itself. There are no preliminaries
any longer. Simply go to the Red
Cross offices, located in the Tele
phone building either Saturday
morning, or Saturday afternoon,
with a white dress, and a white
head scarf.
In order to prove to the Red
Cross headquarters that the Uni
versity of Nebraska women can
back up a project and see it
through, it will be necessary to
have full co-operation. Come on
gals, remember to save the next
two Saturdays for the Red Cross.

The third major point in Dr.
Vedeler's discussion centered about
internation co-operation. There
must be internation co-operation
in restraint of aggression. If the
United Sttaes wishes to remain
out of war she must be willing to
co-operate with Russia, China and
Great Britain in preventing the
outbreak of another war, empha
sized Dr. Vedeler.
Must Cooperate.
The will to cooperate was lack
ing after the last World war and
consequently the machinery set up
to prevent another such war failed.
If this will is in evidence the ma
chinery will evolve. If the will is
present the organization will fol

national cooperation must inr!iii.
the soviet union and the Anglo
American peoples or the world will
be in the greatest danger of an
other war, concluded Dr. Vedeler.
Following: the address the floor
was thrown open to discussion and
questions. Dunne the ODen forum
the point was made that after the
war tne influence of Russia and
her form of covernment will

form may spread to the Balkans
and into Germany. Stalia will un
doubtedly seek some of the ris
torical objectives that have al
ways been embodied in her for

Dr. Vedeler did not feel that th
soviet union had any particular
territorial aspirations.
