Air corps men and advanced ROTC students have taken over the new Love Memorial li brary, have made it a virtual arsenal of poten tial fighting men. It is a little bit ironical training soldiers in a building intended for the training of minds. There are bunks and bedding instead of racks and books. But in a way, it is quite appropriate that the library has become the center of campus military activity, for books are a symbol. Books are the symbol of the freedoms for which we fight. The other day monitors of the Federal Communications commission picked up a Ber lin broadcast praising Adolf Hitler, he of the impentrable prose style, as a lover of good books. ''To read a lot is equivalent of a good education," the radio voice said. "It was Adolf Hitler who promoted this idea in Ger many. Until Hitler came, there were no good books in Germany." But look at Hitler's record: On May 10, 1933, 25,000 good books were burned in the square before the University of Berlin by order of Goebells, the minister of "public enlightenment" There were other such bonfires at the Uni versities of Munich, Frankfurt, Breslau, Kiel. Cried the nazi literary murders as they tossed books by such men as Thomas Mann, Arnold and Stefan Zweig, Alfred Doblin, Jo sef Roth, and hundreds of others: "Emil Ludwig burned for literary rascal ity and high treason against Germany." "Erich Maria Remarque for degrading the German language." The only book to be read was "Mein Kampf " and half a dozen other nazi approved books. At Brussels, the Louvain library was destroyed; in Paris the Gestapo went from bookstore to bookstore with a list of con demned books to be seized under threat of Bcvcre penally. Thruout France, bookstores and newsstands were pillaged by nazi agents to "prepare the transfer of literary, artistic and cultural treasures from the vanquished to the victorious country." That is why books have become a symbol. That is why it is fitting and proper that the UN library thould serve as a military cen ter, as the home of the college men v. ho will win the war. That is why on April 24, the 143rd an niversary of the beginning of the Library of Congress in Washington will be observed with ceremony. That library with its 141 miles of book shelves and 7 million books covers every branch of human knowledge and culture, ev ery crackpotism and profundity. There is a story about the Washington library. It concerns the visitor who hesitated to enter the building. "May I come int" he asked the attendant at the door. "Of course, come right in," the attend ant answered. "It is your library." That is part of what the war is about. It is to keep the flames from roaring at the doors of the nation's library in Washington and il is to keep the flames from roaring in the mall ouisido of Nebraska's iew and fine library.. Dear Editor: It is unfortunate that at times underclass men (or a woman) hear of an idea and im mediately get excited about it. Many times this excitement is fear and misapprehension caused by misunderstanding. Last week, the Senior Gift Committee made the suggestion of a gift by the class to the university. It was stated that $2 might nrovide a flacstonc terrace. Nothing definite was stated, no organization was begun, nor were any definite and final plans made. The letter to the editor was simply to arouse interest. The criticism came from a junior who has not even been at the University of Nebraska a full year. She complained that the money should go into war bonds. She did not wait to find any further information on the rumor, but jumped at her own excited conclusion. She did not realize that this was exactly what was intended as no building, materials can be secured, and the money must be kept until after the war. The campaign has finally been arranged. It is in conjunction with the nation's 13 bil lion dollar second war loan. The money will be put in war bonds to buy a gift. Seniors can leave a permanent memorial and do their coun try a service ni time of need. Senior Gift Committee. P.S. Although, contrary to what the edi torial stated, the idea did not come from the Alumni office, after it was expressed, the di rector of alumni activities got thoroughly bo hind the idea of these prospective alumni. Let us remind you that ho is also Nebraska State Chairman of the War Savings Committee. V . . Mail Clippings Pat Chamberlin, Censor Cpl. NED EASTLACK, former member of the Daily staff and of Acaia, has been trans ferred to "somewhere in North Africa." He writes : "Well, here's your Western Union flash in North Africa ! It's a far cry from those happy, carefree college days, but the change is not too unpleasant. The days are very hot, the nights are cool enough to warrant the use of two or three blankets. I've become acquainted with a pick and shovel, some manual labor, and the first real work I've done in years. As a xxxxxxxxx, I'm making a good ditch dig ger, I guess.

(Continued from page 1.) inc vou can draw from this back ground to formulate your method of procedure In any line or worn, he said. The fundamentals of any course are important for they form the basis from which you may proceed to make a real con tribution, for only a small part of education is found in books, con tinued Dr. Kettering. Practice and more practice is the means to specialization. "Boss Ket," who has seen en caged in research since 1916, told of the many complete evolutions in science that have had their orign in inquiry into very simple phenomena. He said that one or his current inquiries comes from his interest in knowing why one's hands get warm when rubbed to gether or whaf is friction? He pointed out that men are Just dis covering such things as vitamins and the bats facility for seeing without eyes. Advocates Cooperative Education. Dr. Kettering praised the in dustrial and agricultural commit tee that is to be established in Nebraska. A long time advocate of coop erative education, working part time and going to school part time, Kettering has been highly inter ested in the work of Antioc Col lege in Ohio. He emphasized the importance of keeping the uni versities in contact with the typo of thing needed on the farms and factories. Disagreeing with "post-war pessimism," Kettering said it is his belief that an idealism that isn't too high to be reached by hard work should be developed. "We've been fighting bad ideas for the last two years. I'd like to see a large campaign for good ideas." he concluded. Chancellor Boucher presented certificates for superior scholar ship to 27 of the 47 senior students who were eligible for high honors. Twenty of these students are in the armed forces or are attending medical school in Omaha. Chancel lor Boucher praised all honor stu dents and said, "There is a high degree of correlation between the college records of the honor stu dents and their achievents in later life. The University of Nebraska or chestra, under the direction of Mr. Samuel Gorbach played "Overture to Russian and Ludmilla" by Glinka, "Sheep May Safely Graze" by J. S. Bach, March from "Tannhauser" by Wagner and the program was closed with The Star Spangled Banner." Honor List . . . (Continued from page 1.)

Johnson In the sixth lecture in the series on "So cial Services in War Time," held for students and faculty Wednes day in the Union. Director of the state Employ ment Service and acting Nebraska manpower director, Mr. Johnson traced the history of the develop ment of the employment service.

The office at tempts to prevent excessive turn over in war Industries and pro mote orderly transfer of people from non-essential industry to war industry.
