We Point with Pride
... to the university debate team, under the direction
of Dr. Leroy T. Laase. Formerly one of the major UN ac
tivities, debate has been overshadowed by sports, dramatic
and social events. Thru the years, teams have jacked up
Nebraska reputation thruout the state, and midwest region
This year, Gerry McKinsie is one of five semi-finalists in a
national discussion contest sponsored by the co-ordinator of
inter-American affairs. Now, unhampered by wartime man
shortage, debate teams should afford entertainment as wel
as education to UN audiences.
... to the turnout at the 348th CTD's open house Sun
day afternoon. Students and townspeople gaped at neat
barracks, well-equipped day room ; commented favorably on
courteous, friendly guides; drank punch. The thoughtfu
gesture was appreciated.
And View with Alarm
. . . the formal situation. Panhellenic Monday re-stated
its policy of neither approving or disapproving formal wear,
Interfraternity Council has intimated, vaguely, that it will
not sanction the affairs. Both organizations have referred
the problem to the senate committe on student organizations
and social functions for the final say. The senate commit
tee has received a petition for the approval of formals, but
the committee has not yet met. Yet all three bodies exercise
authority, with three different theories. They are con
fused; we are confused. Let's clear it up.
The Job
A war is not over with the cessation of organized hos
tility. A national emergency does not end with the hauling
down of the last enemy war flags. The world will, at that
critical moment of armistice, be poised on the brink of riot
ous conflagrations, economic disorders and social upheavals
Boiling, heaving Europe will provide many a terrible scene
of violence and destruction before its many factions can be
harnessed to the giant tasks ahead. Slaves cannot be freed
without violence; and there are so many slaves.
Our efforts to recreate a balanced order of things will
seem utterly puny against the powers set loose by the crush
ing of organized opposition. Never before in all history
will so few men be called upon to do so much in so many
places at once, or so rapidly. They will wish they had had
the wisdom of Solomon and patience of a saint. These men
will be called upon to set right a society long gone astray.
There will need to be technical men. for there will be much
to rebuild. By the time the entire world has been regained
there will be little that will not have to be rebuilt.
The plans for the postwar orders and systems will be
then in effect. The entire economic framework will have to
be readjusted and the work will call for extensively trained
men capable of handling the transportation and distribution
of the essentials of life to people who have known little but
poverty and scarcity since Poland and Pearl Harbor. Jobs
must be provided for every man capable of working so as to
re-establish the social organization as soon as possible and
permit them to supply their own needs. Where no social
organization before existed all the physical fundamentals
for social living must be provided. It will be a far more sat
isfying task than was the initial destruction of whatver
these people possessed.
There will need to be judges, for there will be many
decisions to make. Trustworthiness has disappeared in
countries under domination and who will there be but these
leaders to determine the proper organization and political
setup for every town, village and hamlet shaken by war and
revolt? Our leadership must provide the necessary co-operation
from people who could not be beaten into submis
sion by our enemies. If the civilian population will not ac
cept them, the ambitious little opportunities might well have
to be heaved off the band wagon and responsible ones chosen
to represent us.
They will need to be soldiers, for there will be con
flicts for a decade. Men who have killed for more than
four years will not become docile under the control of our
armies. They have been taught to hate. Their cities have
been bombed their families killed. They will not forgive
or forget easily or quickly. They will fight and struggle
in battles that may last longer than the war. The battles
will not resemble the organized conflicts that will close
war, they will be vicious treacherous ?treet fights that fol
low the breakdown of organization and domination.
No man in America will fail to have his chance to battle
for law and order. No man's effort can be spared from these
things if ever there is to be security for us and ours on thej
earth. If ever energy should be spared from the immediate
tasks that confront us, this energy must be directed to the
effort necessary for the restoration of the world. The Car-;

LETTERIP.
(This letter was written to I'at tahr ef the V'nio y five
ex-trainees in AST at the university.)
Dear Pat:
We are writing this letter from a lonely
six-man barracks in the hills of Arkansas.
(Camp Robinson). The bare-footed, to
bacco chewing girls that we noticed along
the wayside can hardly be compared with
the beauty of the coeds that we have known
at UN.
We arrived back in the army under
standard conditions (760 mm. pressure, mud
galore, and increasing torrential downpour).
We were herded up and fed in a very unrea
sonable facsimile of the Union. The great
est disappointment of all was the lack of
smiling feminine faces in the mess hall.
In this God-forsaken mudhole, we cer
tainly could use the companionship of some
of your friendly coeds. We would appre
ciate it if you could arrange to send us a lib
eral number of the charming girls. Oh, for
those Student Union dances.
Give our love to all the sweet little bun
dles of charm at Nebraska.

"Turn up shirt cottar before
washing them . . ."
This Mia has the right idea it's jml his technique
that's a little sour. Shirt collars will last much
longer if they are turned up before being sent to
the laundry, for then the crease around the top
doesn't get such heavy rubbing and consequently
lasts longer before fraying.
Another fine point to remember when you
need new shirts, whether military or civilian,' buy
Arrow. They live up to their tkre reputation for
lasting wear and perfect fit. Don't forget the
Sanforized label, which guarantee fabric shrink
age less than 1.
