Will Highlight
Homecoming
Capping the long line of Home
coming festivities this week end,
George Olsen's "Music of Tomor
row" will be featured at the an
nual Homecoming Dance next Sat
urday at the Coliseum.
As an important interlude In
the evening, the 1947-48 Pep
Queen, successor to Phyl Harris,
will be presented tit the intermis
sion. Candidates will be an
nounced and the election will take
place immediately after the rally
Friday evening. Polls will be con
ducted by the Mortar Boards and

Olsen's music, never described
as "hot stuff," is the result of
hours of tedious practicing by him
and his band. Olsen makes no
bones about his distaste for hot
jazz. His band is noted for its
smooth music and its original nov
elties. Famous Showman.
The band leader's showmanship
is one of his trump cards. Olsen
is not content to furnish dancing
music but also keeps the evening
lively with a presentation of nov
elties and vocals.
After leaving the University of
Michigan, Olsen started out on his
own with his orchestra, and came
to the attention of Florenz Zieg
f eld in southern California. -Later
he made his name nationally
known with his work in many
popular Broadway musicals.
Tickets to the dance are on
sale from Corn Cobs and Tassels,
and in booths in the Union and

for $3 per couple.

THE. a
7TTory
History Department Deplores
Scliusclniigg Appearance Here
(Ed Note: Because of the timeli
ness and importance of its nature,
and because of the responsible po
sitions of its writers, this leter to
the editor is being printed on the
front page of The Daily Nebras-
kan instead of the regular letter
coumn.)
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

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.

concoction of kick-a-poo joy juice '
(apple cider) will be served to
weary huntresses and their cap
tives. Right before your eyes BHRIH
some of whom fought to destroy
all that he has stood for.
If the students of Nebraska
choose to hear him, they should
have all the facts in mind.
