NOTICE TO VETERANS.
Representatives from the Ne

date. Veterans reporting: to the
Library should have their C
numbers in hand.
An official of the Veterans
Administration has stated that
subsistence checks should net
be considered overdue until
after the 5th of each month,
because'" it requires several
days to mail checks to the
thousands of veterans on the
subsistence rolls of several
midwest states. This same of
ficial has also said, "The Vet
erans Administration is doing:
everything- possible to guar
antee that veterans In coUege

THE EFFIGY IS ABDUCTED by an eager group of Sig
Chi's who proceed to hang it in front of their house. Other
loyal Husker fans join in a general scuffle to win back
the representation of the ill-fated trophy. The Jayhawk
has not yet reached the end of its long, tortuous path, as

Convo Moved
Into Coliseum
Sciiuscjinigg Expected
To Draw Record Attendance
Today's convocation featuring Dr. Kurt von Schusch
nigg has been moved to the Coliseum, according to word
from Karl Arndt, head of the university convocation com
mittee. Schuschnigg's speech will begin at 11 a. m. and is
expected to draw a capacity throng, the reason why it was
switched from the Union ballroom.
Debate over the appropriateness
of the choice of Schuschnigg as
convocation speaker has been o
lively that a special open forum
at which the Austrian will answer
questions fired at him by the
audience has been arranged for 2
p. m. this afternoon in the Union
ballroom.
National Controversy.
Interest in the Schuschnigg ap
pearance has spread beyond the
campus and engaged the atten
tion of Nebraska newswriters and
editorialists, and has been dis
tributed by national wire news
services.
Openly branded a fascist and an
enemy of democracy by a group
of distinguished faculty members,
the ex-head of the Austrian state
will be on the spot when he under
takes ta defend his record at the
question hour this afternoon. It
is anticipated that no quarter will
be given or asked when the meet
ing is thrown open to questions
fro mthe floor.
History Profs Assail Schuschnigg:.
Controversy centering about
Schuschnigg was tuoched off Wed
nesday by a letter to The Daily
Nebraskan in which eight mem
bers of the department of history
assailed his political record and
expressed doubt that he could
"speak with authority to a demo
cratic audience, some of whom
fought to destroy all that he has
stood for."
The historians declared that the
issue "is not one of free speech,
but simply, since the number of
convocation speakers is limited, of
who is to be asked to speak to
us."
"We believe," declared the his
torians, "that if nothing else, the
lives of those men and women
who were sacrificed in the last
war has put an end to the debate
between fascism and democracy."
Convo Committee Answers.
In defense of its invitation of
Schuschnigg to speak, the convo
cations committee replied in a
letter to The Daily Nebraskan
Thursday that "it is and always
has been the policy of the convo
cations committee to give the
widest range to the freedom of
speech."
Karl M. Arndt, chairman of the
committee, asserted that "the in
vitation to Schuschnigg is en
tirely in keeping with the univer
sity's policy on convocations."
Committee member G. W. Rosen
lof, registrar, said that the com
mittee "takes no stand on what
the speaker says."
"Schuschnigg will not speak on
communism, fascism or nazism as
such," Rosenlof said. "In the in
terests of free speech he should
be heard."
