C0JSV0 SUGGESTION . . .
In line with the increased activity of university stu
dents in politics beyond the campus level, we wonder why
the university convocations committee has not arranged
for all-university convocations featuring presidential can
didates. , . . .
Nebraska has jumped to the front as a key state in
the campaign plans of all candidates because of the com
plete slate of candidates which will be placed on Repub
lican and Democratic primary ballots, hence more candi
dates than usual will be in the state this spring.
Although it is too late to bring Governor 'Warren of
California before the students, Stassen and Taft are sched
uled for appearance in the state during April.
Remembering the appearance of Kurt von Schussmgg
and the interest which his address to Nebraska students
aroused, we are in favor of making an el tort to Dnng
presidential candidates before the students.
Students favoring the particular candidates will no
doubt be glad for a chance to attend such a convocation,
and students with different sentiments will be just as glad
for a chance to hear first hand views and opinions of op
position leaders.
Opportunities of this kind seldom occur. But this
year, thanks to Nebraska's all-inclusive primary which
makes the state an important trial balloon in the political
hopes of many presidential aspirants, the university will
have an opportunity to give students a chance to hear
the candidates.
Such a move should not be viewed as political inter
ference with the functions of a state university. Rather,
the proposed convocation appearances would constitute a
valuable addition to the regular routine of education.
To insure freedom from the cry of political entangle
ment of the school with any political party, the convoca
tions could be opened only to university students.

THE NIMBLE .
SPANIEL
by Sam Warren
Chi Omega overheard yesterday
passing before an unofficial fra
ternity reviewing stand on "S
street at noon: "You can always
tell when Soring has come to the
campus. The worms come out of
the ground and the Phi fsi s come
out on their porch!"
Seriously, (and with only our
best wishes to the jyru Jr-sisj
Snrinff is riehtfullv the main top
ic of conversation, even if Spring
vara tinn weren't at hand. The
traditional signs of spring (first
hluebird. first robin, first violet
first nanes of iunior women's Ivy
anxiety, have been enriched (we
use the term losely) by a new and
far surer sign that the icy blasts
are gone.
Th new sitrn is. namely, the
emergence from winter hiberna
tion of the three flat-rooted Blue-
hnvs (familiarly knows as "cam
mis rons'M who stand defiantly at
the entrances to the Faculty Park
ing area, wearing themselves out
giving incoherent answers to sane
nuestion. smoking cigaretes, and
trying with great effort to like
men with 90 I.Q .'s.
During the recent 18-inch snow
that blanketed the campus, extra
natrons" of the faculty area ob
structed sidewalk crossings and
building entrances so that large
numbers of students migrating
from one building to another had
to Indian-file their way to classes.
But once shirt-sleeve and san
dle weather arrives, guess who's
with us again. The Blueboys. If,
however, their temporary absence
lias prevented pneumonia or ag
gravated frost-bite, or general
lowered resistance to disease, then
the inconvenience caused the fac
ulty members who found no park
ing space awaiting them and the
students who had to infiltrate thru
the tightly-squeezed cars in order
to cross the quadrangle were sure
ly justified.
Perhaps the return of Spring
will also bring again the city pa
tralman which the Student Coun
cil finally secured in November
to direct early morning and noon
traffic at the Uni Drug corner
where students have extreme
difficulty crossing 14th street
without the aid of a policeman to
halt traffic at periodic intervals.

Roy M. Green, dean of the en
gineering college, the Exec. Board
has been permitted to use one
class meeting of the Dean's lec
ture course to acquaint freshmen
engineers with the types and pur
poses of engineering activities and
organizations.
The first such meeting will be
held May 6, and four student
speakers will outline activities:
'The Exec. Board and Engi-
nering Week;" Carl Leonard.
"The Six Engineering Societies;"
Charles Cole, Secretary of Exec.
Board, President of ASCE.
"The Nebraska Blue Print;"
Temple Newman, editor.
"The Engineering Honorary So
cieties;" Homer Leymaster, Pres
ident of Sigma Tau.
By these and other means, the
Exec. Board, working through the
several societies, hopes to stimu
taie greater student interest in
campus activities. This interest,
it is felt, will benefit the students,
tne college, and the university.

Editor ot The Daily Nebraskan:
I think it would be a good thing
for the student body to be cor
rectly informed about the text
of Owen Lattimore's Friday night
lecture.
Your front page lead-lines in
the Sunday edition were flagrant
distortions of the meaning of
Lattimore's talk as a matter of
fact the statements in the Rag
were diametrically opposed to
what he did say.
The Daily Nebraskan headlines
were: "Democracy real necessity
in Asia" "Can best Commun
ism," says Lattimore" "We must
make democracy more than a
theory to these people, Owen
Lattimore said" etc. All these
statements imply that Lattimore
advocated active material aid
from the U. S. to the Chiang
goevnnnent.
However, in a specific reply to
specific question about whether
we should send aid to Chiang,
Lattimore delivered an emphatic
"no." He declared that "Politics
is the art of the possible," and
since to his way of thinking
it was impossible for our money
or material to do any good in
China, it was bad politics
hence he was against it.
Furthermore, he went on to
say that it was his opinion that
China would eventually develop
neither Russia's form of com
munism nor our form of de
mocracy, but rather a new type
of governmental structure grow
ing out of the traditions and
thoughts peculiar to China's his
tory. I think it is the right of stu
dents to know also how this mis
shapen interpretation found its
way into The Daily Nebraskan.

Russian Film
Slated by Y'
For April 2
"Ivan the Terrible," the Russian
movie that PM says "will be felt
in all future generations of film
making," is the next foreign
film scheduled by the YM and
YWCA's. Showings of the film
will be held Friday, April2, and
Saturday, April 3, in the Temple
and Love Library auditorium, re
spectively. Sergei Eisenstein's film is the
finest part of a three-part movie
biography of Ivan, Russia's first
czar. It depicts his coronation, the
wedding feast, the siege of Kazan,
the succession problem, the block
ade of the Baltic, the death of the
Czarina, and his exile to Alex
androvo. Critical Reports.
"Ivan the Terrible" has been
called "magnificent" by the New
York Times, "a supermovie a
brilliant pageant", by Life, and "a
real treasure trove" by PM. It has
been labeled "arty" Dy Newsweek,
which also calls it "a good pic
ture." The film will be presented with
English pub-titles. Tickets are 50c
and can be obtained from 'Y
members or Y' offices in Ellen
Smith Hall and Temple building.
The motion picture will be shown
at 8 p. m. both nights.
Proceeds from the two show
ings of "Ivan" will be used for
benefit of the Estes Park Fund of
YMCA and YWCA.
Censorship Difficult.
The Russian motion picture
passed Russian censorship with
some difficulty. Its director, the
late Sergei Eisenstein, had been
"scorched," nays Time Magazine,
for deviation from the Soviet
theories, but he was forgiven.
At Kansas State university, a
student ha3 been expelled after
his third violation of parking
rules.
