Dr. Bragg Stresses Aid
To Europe in Address
BY NORM LEGER
In the second All . University
convocation of the year, Dr. Ray
mond Bragg, associate editor of
the "Humanist" magazine, de
clared that the United States must
provide a steady flow of the
materials of reconstruction if Eu
rope is to be politically and so
cially rehabilitated.
"If Europe is "to restore itself
socially, politically ,and econom
ically America will have to watch
with care and generosity over the
critical European situattion. With
out continued American participa
tion in feeding Europe peace is
jeopardized.
" "If the United States is to live
in a stable world, that world must
interest itself in an economy that
will serve its people. But before
that can be done these people
must be given an adequate phys
ical basis for existence. Individual
or collective stability can not be
created by a despairing population
without hope; such a people can
Business Must
Watch Ethics,
Palmer Warns
"A wise and ethical conduct of
its own affairs is the chief safe
guard American business has
against the opposite extremes of
state economy or anarchy," Dr.
E. J. Palmer, director of the Uni
versity Business Bureau Research,
told the Lincoln Rotary club Tues
day noon.
Dr. Palmer stated that there
were three principles which are
necessary to a sound business
economy; a social outlook, long
range planning, and a strong busi
ness research program.
"The fallacy of 19th century
business was the idea that com
petition itself provided sufficient
safeguards against the abuses of
management," he added, "in the
20th century the chief evils busi
ness must avoid if it seeks to con
tinue self-regulations are: monop
oly, labor exploitation, financial
manipulation and adulteration of
products."
Delta Sigma Pi
Founder's Day
In honor of Founder's Day of
Delta Sigm Pi, business adminis
tration professional fraternity,
members of the Alpha Delta chap
ter held a banquet at the Union
Monday evening.
Guest speaker for the evening
was Mr. Karl Stermer, trainer of
personnel at the Lincoln division
of the Elgin watch company.
Mr. Stermer stressed the fact
that employer-employee relations
present a problem of human rela
tions, and that every employee
must be made to realize that he
has a place in the production pro
cedure of a plant.
There are five basic qualifica
tions that a supervisor must have
before he can do his job effect
ively, Stermer stated. They are
knowledge of work; knowledge of
responsibility; skill of improving
methods; leadership: and skill of
instruction. A good supervisor is
one that can get people to do
what he wants them to do the way
he warns because he wants it
done.
Mr. J. D, Thomson of Chicago,
assistant grand secretary-treasurer
of Delta Sipma Pi, and Mr.
Henry Lucas of Omaha, province
director of the fraternity, were
honored guests.
Mr. Thomson outlined activities
of the organization, and listed the
only give evidence of chronic in
stability." Pointing out the critical food
situation in Europe, Dr. Bragg
stated that political and economic
systems can not be constructed
by starving people suffering the
consequences of war.
"A shattered city is a break
in the continuity of the life of a
people. A city is an accumulation
of wealth of centuries, and the
way of building a city has been
more or less by private enter
prise. Now, however, the entire
resources of virtually all Euro
pean countries are needed to re
build. "Eighty percent of Germany's
manufacturing resources were
obliterated by the war. Whatever
we may feel towards Germany,
we must realize that if its produc
tion . capacity is permanently
crippled Germany will not be only
country to suffer for Germany

BY PRUNELLA HERSELF
There, within the inner-fastnesses where only the initiated (those
with no classes at any time or the fleetest of foot) are permitted to
cross the velvet cord, our little Prunella heard the wonderful truth.
The beasties sitting behind her (the Kappa had by this time
finished braiding her hair and left for the Gulch) were discussing
school life. They told how the little freshmen came down to the
big city every fall, and walked the streets (within campus boundaries,
notch) without anything to do when they were not attending every
class on their schedules.
Every evening, they said, the little girls stood in front of the
Union to watch the training table assemble. Then they sneaked
down 16th to see the bus boys leaving the sorority houses. Imagine
their surprise when they discovered the fellows didn't have their
coat pockets filled with pretzels, as their great-aunts had predicted.
Just a little bread for breakfast, the crumbs.'
After sixteen and a half days, however, they discovered that
there was something much bigger in school, and they told their
secret . to Prunella (it's about time she came into the monologue).
It wsan't the library, or the excavation for Burnett Hall, or Bob
Diers' drum.
That three letter word reared its ugly head, and they heard
about men. They no longer stood meekly on the curb watching the
team file upstairs to XYZ. They had a purpose! Someday some
how, they would meet one of these chosen ones. Barring that, they
might be able to get acquainted with some other creatures in cords
or levis.
All this time Prunella was secure in the knowledge that she al
ready knew a man. Hadn't J. Reginald smiled at her, and wasn't
he one of those Southern GI Select fellows? v
But now she realized that one of his smiles wasn't enough. For
what was this the beasties behind her were discussing? No more,
joyous' daydreaming, at least daydreams must now be put to earthly
use. She must be about her fathers and mothers business, she must
arise, for a task must be done. There 'was something (To Be Continued.)
