' Comparison Proves Vital facts of 1911: Local band, 140 attendance, no surprises, and a vacant hotel ballroom. In Grand maw's time, the Military Ball's were strictly private affairs no outsiders, and thus, no campus in terest. The 1908 Military Ball, the first one, can be likened to the streamlined 1946 version only in one respect, they both featured a grand march.

Art Major Hansen Draws Cover for OcL Motive Issue A pen and ink drawing of a young veteran facing the world, featured as the cover picture of October Motive, national Method ist student publication, is the work of Bob Hansen, junior art major. Enrolled in the university in 1941, he has now returned after war leave. Pierre Van Paassen, noted philosopher and art critic, has written the leading editorial for the magazine, which treats mod ern problems from a non-sectarian viewpoint. Van Paassen notes the formation of a "Militia Christi" in today's world, and views its effective work as the only hope of saving the Christian faith. He views the general ap probation given churches as harm ful to faith, in that true religious belief is fostered only thru per secution and danger. Dr. Harris Franklin Rail, pro fessor emeritus of systematic theo logy at Garrett Biblical institute, discusses "One Man, Three Di mensions," in another of the articles. Rail uses as his thesis the belief that there never was such a chance for men of good will to serve the present age. He argues that each. man has three dimen sions, and must be individualized, socialized and conscious of re ligion. Leaders to work with peo ple are needed for democracy, and for Christianity, to survive, he ex in n nr ivi U k Tuesday, October 29, 1946 cems, no nouse aispiay may ex ceed the maximum cost allowance of $40.00, and decorations must be completed by 6 p. m.

Candidates should be fully accredited seniors in any college and should submit their names to the Student Ac tivity office in the coliseum before 4 p. m. today, according to Sob Coonley Council pre sident. plains. As for socialized men, Rail says, "We cannot save the world by living apart in our ivory tower, or by handing it an occasional word or visiting upon it our scorn and denunciation. We can help save the world only by giving to our fellow men understanding and love and devotion, only by learn ing in patience and self-subordination to work with others, only by feeling deeply our kinship with all humanity and by sharing in its life." Most telling criticism of Ameri can life today is included in "The Patient Is Mortally Sick", an ar ticle by John Haynes Holmes in Motive. The pastor of New York's Community church lists three con demnations of contemporary life, economic deterioration, social dis integration and political paralysis. Drawing the comparison between events which led to the fall of Rome and the same conditions he finds today, Holmes concluded that our society is no longer de veloping as a growing organism. Other pieces on veterans' ad justment and contributions to school society, together with dis cussions on modern problems greeted the more than 300 sub scribers on the Lincoln campuses when the October issue arrived. Persons interested in obtaining subscriptions should contact Rev. Robert Drey at the Methodist Stu dent House, or tell their student pastor.
