To the Editor of The Daily Ne- braskan: The convocation Committee of the University of Nebraska has announced that it will bring to the campus on November 7th the for mer Chancellor of Austria, Kurt con Schuschnigg. To the undersigned members oi the Department of History this announcement is the cause of no little concern. They ask, therefore, the privilege of your columns to make the following statement to the student body, many oi whom as GJ.'s were asked to be ready to give their lives to defeat fas cism in Germany, Austria and elsewhere. Ex-Chancellor Schuschnigg was the head of a state which after 1933. under the guidance of Mus solini, abandoned the principles of democracy for the principles of fascism. This was an abandon ment with which he had much to do before he became chancellor, and which he maintained firmly and with conviction as Chancellor until Hitler put him and his coun try out of the way in 1938. It is well known that Schuschnigg had no sympathy with the democratic republic of Austria that was born in 1918. A Fan German. He preferred at all times the Hapsburgs and was essentially a Pan-German in his sympathies. He became Minister of Jusuce in the second Buresch cabinet in 1932 and retained this portfolio until 19381 He is thus responsible for those measures taken in this Ministry to prepare for the estab lishment of Jhe Austro-Fascist state by his predecessor Dollfuss. In May. 1933, he became. In addition Minister of Education under Dollfuss. He thus held two ministries In a government which In February, 1934 .deliberately pro voked a counter-revolution acainst the) democratic force in Austria, compooea chleHy of Social Democrats, a counter, revolution whtchm culminated In the no torious machine running and artillery bombardment of the workers' apartment houses In Vienna with resultinK casual ties, according; to Social Democratic esti mates, of from d. 500 to 7,000. It was in Schuschnigg's ministry that, after these bloody events, further steps were taken to hang. Imprison and put awav Into concentration camp at Wollersdorf those who resisted the new order. It was also In this ministry thnt a new fascist constitution was drawn up for Austria on the pattern of Mussolini's corporative state, a constitution of which Schuschnigg hilmself has said that "it deliberately turns its back on formal democratic prin ciples, and on universal, equal and direct suffrage. It lavs weight on independent and strong leadership." Thus Austria sets up with Schuschnlgg's help, and main tained under his leadership as Chancellor, a one-party, police state which forced the opposition underground, destroyed demo cratic liberties, and used the concentra tion camp. Extinction of Stat. To those who suffered under this regime Schuschnigg seemed little better than Hit ler. By his refusal to moderate the regime he alienated those who would have been a bulwark asatnat the Nazis. It was, however, his opinion that it was "impossible that parliamentary govern ment should be restored to Austria." He provided further for the extinction of his state when in 1938 he consented to a deal with Hitler which obliged him, among other things, to take into his cabinet three well known fascists and thinly dis guised Nazis: Guido Schmidt, Glaiae von Horstenau and Dr. Seysj-Inquart. The two former set about Immediately to prepare for the Anschluss. Seysa-Inquart was sub sequently disposed of as a war criminal at Nurenberg. When the American army went Into Austria Its military government officials were Instructed by directives of the War and State Department that In reconstruct ing . a democratic Austrian state they must not as or rely upon those who were associated la any Important way with the Austro-Fasist Doll fuss -Bchuschntgg re gime. Schuschnigg would, therefore, at that time have been a person bob grata to us. It Is worthy of note- that he Is cot in Austria at the moment. To the undersigned the issue is not one of free speech but simply, since the number of con vocation speakers is limited, of who is to be asked to speak to us. We believe, that if nothing else, the lives of those men and women who were sacrificed in the last war have put an end to the debate between fascism and democracy. We realize that Schuschnigg has paid some price for his adherence to his kind of patriotism, but we doubt if this price is sufficient to enable him to speak with au thority to a democratic audience M 111 Cornhuskers will rally on the Union steps Wednesday night to hang a colossal effigy of the Kan sas Jayhawker, symbolic of KU's fate at the Homecoming game this weekend. Corn Cobs and Tassels are hard at work constructing a Jayhawker of wood and gunnysacks. When completed, he will stand about ten feet high in his taloned feet. Hanging-The-Jayhawk rally plans include assembling of stu dents on the steps in front of the Union Wednesday at 7:15 p. m. The cheerlcading squad, headed by Yell King Martin Pesek, the Corn Cobs and Tassels will pace the ralliers. Hanging Main feature of the rally will be the hoisting of the giant Jay straight up in the air alongside the Union building. There he will hang by the neck until dead, which should be about Homecom ing Rally time Friday evening, according to estimates by Tassel president, Harriet Quinn. Miss Quinn told The Daily Ne braskan that Wednesday night's rally would be "spectacular." It will be the first of a number of Homecoming activities this week, she added. Mystery Whatever mystery s h o u d s BHRIH now will be cleared up at the Homecoming Rally Friday night, according to Miss Quinn. Friday night's pre-game rally will start at 7:15 p. m. when stu dents assemble in front of the Union. From there they will march down 16th St. and Vine St. to the practice field west of the Coliseum. At the head of the parade will be the hung Jayhawker, Cobs and Tassels will drag him along the parade route and will burn him on the practice field. Candidates for Pep Queen will be presented at the rally. Im mediately following the rally stu duts will report to the Coliseum and the Union to vote for the 1947 Pep Queen. Booths will be set up at both locations and vot ing will be supervised by Inno cents and Mortar Boards. Voters must have ID cards. It's Coming! BHRIH!
