THE DAILY NEBRASKAN TKurs3ay, November 6,-1947. PAGE 2 I 1 i The Scliusclinigg Question . . . The history department of the university Is to be congratulated for its stand on the scheduling of Krut Van Schuschnigg as a con vocation speaker. Seldom has any segment of this institution taken taken such a provocative stand on a subject. In carefully weighed words, the history department pointed out Schuschnigg's background and his apparent attitude toward democ racy. Here was not a question of free speech in the professor's minds but rather one of information. It appeared to them to be of vital necessity that the students realize who Schuschnigg is and what he stands for. The very fact that these faculty members took the time to compose a letter to The Daily Nebraskan is both a compliment to the intelligence of the student body and a challenge to that group. The Friday convocation offers a unique opportunity to the univer sity to hear a man who has been accused by many of being a repre sentative of fascist philosophies. In questioning the wisdom of having scheduled Schuschnigg to speak at an all-university convocation, the professors have well taken points in their argument. No one can deny that the con vocation schedule is sadly limited in size and that because of such limitations, some other prominent and possibly more intellectually desirable speaker might have been obtained. However, Schuschnigg will probably represent a viewpoint foreign to his audience and con sequently stimulate further discussion as in the case of Louis Adamic. In the event that such discussion take place, the convocations committee will have fulfilled an important obligation to the stu dents of the university. While it was not the intent of the history department to shelter students from an alien philosophy it seemed to be their intent to induce adequate thought while listening to the former Austrian chancellor. This was their apparent intent and hence, The Daily Nebraskan thanks them for their interest and con fidence in the development of political awareness in the student body. Despite this gratifying interest, The Daily Nebraskan also con gratulates the convocations committee and its chairman, Professor Carl Arndt for scheduling a man capable of stirring such widespread interest.

Open Letter: To Mr. Wm, Dovey and any other misled characters who think that we Americans can sit smugly in our land of plenty and ignore the Dliaht of millions without loss of prestige among the nations of the world, and a feeling 01 gum among ourselves. To be guilty of such inhumanness would be to lower ourselves to the level of those war criminals sentenced in Nurenberg. If the suffering nations of Eu rope cannot turn to the strong democracies for help, they will be forced to turn to Russia and Communism. Mr. Dovey asks if we will for get the war dead. The hero dead of today will soon be replaced by the hero dead of the approach ing conflict unless better under standing is reached between the world powers. This cannot be ac complished so long as narrow mindedness, bigotry, and racial prejudice exist as they do today. FRED J. SWIHART. An Open Letter to William H. Dovey: Dear William: If you remember the last war, you must know that machine gun firing and hand grenade throwing only prove that there will be no sanity until men. try living to gether as neighbors rather than as targets. If killing Geftnans and Italian's, now, would makeJ- the world a better place, you would have our wholehearted support for your campaign. But who can decide who is to make the world a better place by dying. Should Williarr H. Dovey choose who is to die? Should the Ger mans and the Italians do the choosing? Should a majority of the American people? You can see that there is apt to be some disagreement about the victims of your extermination program. And in the end Bill Dovey might be one of the boys chosen to save the world, by coughing up a little of his blood each day. Ah, how MAG 4 Let ?Er Blow and Bluster!

So if the world is to be saved, it must be done by letting people live. If neither Christian moral ity nor human decency can drive you to this conclusion, perhaps a selfish concern for your lungs will. Give to the All University Fund, yes. But give with respect and af fection for your suffering fellow students in all parts of the world, even in Germany and Italy. If you do not give in this spirit, you have misspent your money. If there is any doubt in your mind, you should ask AUF Chairman Beth Noerenberg to return your two dollars. Perhaps you can in vest them in a reserved seat in a good bomb shelter. Sincerely, Earl Dyer, Jr. Eugene Bruce Berman. Al Cooper. Elmer Sprague.
