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

sweet is mercy when we are suf
fering!
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.
