Edward Frederick Lindley
Wood, the third Viscount Halifax
and ambassador to the United
States from England, is touring
the midwestern states citadel of
anti-British feeling in this country
before he returns to his native
homeland. He will speak to stu
dents and faculty tomorrow at 2
p. m. in the Union ballroom.
He has held one of the most dif
ficult jobs of the war for over five
years, and has performed a mag
nificent job. He did so well, in
fact, that all talk of his pre-war
association with the Chamberlain
appeasement government has long
since ceased.
Visits U. S.
Halifax had a difficult job
ahead when the battleship King
George steamed up Chesapeake
Bay Jan. 24, 1941, bringing the
new British ambassador to Wash
ington. The United States was in
the throes of a great conflict over
American participation in World
war II. Isolationists, nationalists,
and traditional Anglohobes looked
with dislike upon any Britisher
in the U. S., all of whom they
thought were "war mongers" who
were trying to "propagandize" this
country into war. Even before he
was greeted in a pouring rain by
President Roosevelt at Annapolis,
Md., the Gerald K. Smiths, the
Hearst-McCormick Patterson press

Dance in Union
The time has come to get ac
quainted with the beaver who
sits beside you in poli sci, and
to know that brain in English!
You can do all that, and dance

evening from 9 to 12.
Unaffiliated student organiza

kept himself independent of those
and all the rest were at his throat.
Feeling his way cautiously, Hal
ifax worked hard to get material
who were urging outright Ameri
can entrance into the war on Brit
ain's side. He toured the country,
sounding out public views on the
burning questions of the day.
Dodges Eggs.
Wih his old school background
of Et n and Oxford, it must have
been disconcerting to have eggs
thrown at him. Women peace dem
onstrators in Detroit threw the
eggs and tomatoes as well, and
picketed his hotel with signs read
ing "Down with England," and
"Halifax is a War Monger." The
smiling statesman took it in stride.
In San Francisco, also before
the U. S. entered the war, he was
picketed again. A woman with a
sign reading "Remember 1776,"
accosted him, told him she would
not give one of her nine sons to
fight for another nation. She
wound up by shaking hands with
him after he told her he had three
sons fighting for England. Later,
one of these sons was killed in ac
tion. The ambassador toured air
craft plants turning out planes for
Britain, and was loudly cheered.

Recital Tonite
Jennie Tourel, Metropolitan so
prano who sings tonight at 8:30
in St. Paul Methodist church,
spends more money for haircuts,
shampoos, veterinarian bills and
"whatnots" for her French poodle
Minos, than she spends on herself.
The poodle has flown on tours
with her, slept in lower berths,
shared ocean liner staterooms with
her, and in general has almost
never left her side in the entire
seven years that she has had him.
Minos understands her better
than anyone else, Miss Tourel
thinks, for he leaves her alone
when she's busy and comes to play
only when she is ready for it, too.
The lovely mezzo-soprano finds
him so loal that he won't tolerate
anyone's singing but hers. Minos
was right with her when she was
locked in her swank Paris apart
ment and caught one of the last
trains out of the capital just be
fore the Germans marched in.
Altho he behaved like a trouper
all the way to Lisbon, Miss Tourel
almost lost him when she was
about to take a plane away from
the continent. An airport official
refused to let the dog go with her.
Desperate but cool, she tried a
trick that had worked often be
fore. She said to the dog in French
"Ask the kind man permission to
enter." Minos sat up in his usual
begging position and waved his
paws gleefully. The official, think
ing the poodle really understood,
weakened and passed him thru.
The foreign language had turned
the trick!
As for her languages, she sings

Reporter Discovers Majority
Favors Veteran Organization
Having received a number of
rove Knt Vi tnr nrA inii.l" 4Ka
letters both "for and against" the
organization of a veteran's club
here on the campus; the Daily
Nebraskan conducted a brief sur
vey among the veterans them
selves. Among those interviewed the
dominant feeling seemed to be
that the establishment of such a
club was definitely desirable and
a few feel it is a necessity. Opin
ions varied as to the actual pur
pose of the club.
In Favor.
Bill Myers was highly in favor
of the organization of such a club
if the function would be purely
social. He felt that it could of
fer many social contacts; how
ever, he could not see that it
would be of any help if it was
merely an advisory board for
G. L problems.
Gordon Leavitt feels that a
combination business and social
group would be possible and de
sirable. He feels that the group
should start as a social club and
then problems could be worked
out later.
Social Club.
Very definitely in favor of a
Veterans Club, Arch Briggs is
one of the organizers of the group.
Arch stated that it should be a
purely social organization but
formed with the idea that per
sonal problems could also be
solved through the club itself.
There are many problems of organization.

phases. Also in this department are
found magazines, reference books
and about ten thousand volumes

Telegraphic
Swim Meet
The National Collegiate Tele
graphic Swimming meet will be
held March 2, with univfsity
women taking part in the .eet,
at 1:30 in the coliseum.
Names of the winners will be
telegraphed to Indiana university
where they will be compared
with the winners from other
states to determine the national
winner.
University competition is spon
sored jointly by the Swimming
club and WAA. Dorothy Meshier,
president of the Swimming club,
announced that spectators are
welcome and that any women
wishing to participate should have
four hours practice before enter
ing. This year's entry is the first
participation of Nebraska since
1940.
Wayne C. Peterson said that the
1... - - . ...
club should and could be formed.
He also is in favor of the so
cial aspect and thinks it would
be a substitute for men not in
fraternities.
"It should not be more than
a monthly affair but I think we
should have a club," stated Jack
McNeeley. He thought it should
be a social organization includ
ing both Greek and Barb men.
Any problems could be solved at
occasional mass meetings, he con
cluded. Gene Lingenfelder feels that
the idea of a club is all right
as long as it is a social group
and doesn't try to be administra
tive or gain administrative pow
ers. Participation,
Dean Underberg gave a de
cidedly "in favor" opinion. When
interviewed he said: "The pur
pose of the veterans club would
be to give veterans the oppor
tunity to participate in inter-collegiate
activities as the sororities
and fraternities including scholas
tic competition, and social activi
ties. General consensus of opin
ion is that this organization would
not disgrace the university at any
time; but bear in mind that this
would be a powerful organisa
tion." Francis Mandula was also
heartily in favor of veterans
club and thinks it would offer
many social opportunities.
