POOR LIGHTING
"Electrical Lighting and Illumina
tion" is the title of a course offered
in the electrical division of the Col
lege of Engineering. Every year the
students in that class make tests of
the illumination in University build
ings. And the results of those tests
are always the same the lighting of
several of the buildings tested is
uniformly poor.
This deficiency of lighting has
probably existed since the University
first opened its doors. It has become
familiar and so there is hardly more
than an occasional faint protest
against it
But it is not in the engineering
buildings only that lighting is poor.
Although the tests have been almost
entirely confined to them, and so no
figures can be given for the other
buildings, yet no particularly keen
observation, or sensitiveness to in
tensity of light, is necessary to recall
the feeble illumination in the Library
where many students do most of their
reading. I
All of the old buildings, excepting
the Electrical Engineering building,
are poorly lighted, most of them even
more poorly than the Library. And
the new buildings are not perfect
Tests conducted in the Social Sci
ence building shortly after it was
completed showed that only some of
the rooms are fairly well illuminated,
a
The chief objection to poor light
ing is not mere inconvenience in
reading; it is the harm resulting from
eyeFtrain. Many students suffer from
eyestrain, and although much of the
trouble may be caused by their own
carelessness, it is sure that study in
poorly lighted University buildings
does not help.
If the total of irreparable damage
to eyesight of all students who have
been graduated from the University,
caused by four years of study in
rooms with insufficient light, could
be measured in" terms of money, for
example it would probably run into
the milions. The bother of specta
cles, headaches and other ills that can
be traced to eyestrain run the bill
much higher.
An effort to keep power consump
tion for lights down to as low a fig
ce as possible is the reason, evident
ly, for deficiency of lighting. That
policy shows immediate returns in a
smaller cost of the University power
plant, certainly, but possibly this
might be considered a "false econo
my." The almost certain injury to
the eyes of students and faculty mem
bers might better be considered be
fore a lower coal bill.
Those who are in charge of the
physical plant of the University are
aware of the inadequate provision for
artificial illumination in most of the
buildings. Yet they have never made
a consistent and sustained effort to
improve lighting arrangements.
Nebraska cannot expect a host of
new buildings with the most modern
of conveniences, but what the Uni
versity has should be made the most
of. Whether the remedy for the
trouble is to put in more lights,
stronger lights, or modern lighting
systems, the remedy should be under
taken. It will not entail any great
expediture.
And, here is an improvement that
can be easily made without the help
of the legislature.
cause people to think. After all,
which are more valuable: those which
contain nonsense and do not even
approach the realm of literature, or
those books which, even though the
reader does not agree with the au
thor's principle, cause the reader to
think, to gain an interest in the so
cial system and to look deeply into
the matter of social welfare?
Mr. Gaffney hints at morality and
mentions "free love." It is needless
to say much concerning free love;
we can only point out the defects of
our own moral system.
In the opinion of Mr. Gaffney we
have no right to object to our social
system. Is our social system so per
fect that it cannot) be improved?
When you pass a prison, or even
read about crime, does it ever occur
what things may have caused it? It
is not nautral for men to commit
crime: tor crime is a product ot so
cial conditions. We have only to look
at the so-called sensational murders
(the Leopold-Loeb and the murder
of a mother by her sixteen year old
daughter), to realize the defect ni
our social system. Why should any
one object to having the defects of
our system brought to light? For it is
only by this means that it can be Im
proved. It is not necessary to sup
press the reading of any book; for,
only by having a knowledge of exist
ing conditions can we progress. As
we are enlightened so we progress,
and only by enlightenment can we
progress. To suppress a book be
cause of its material is the same as
suppressing the truth. Truth is jus
tice and justice is truth. So these
books should not be suppressed.
Rather, students should be encour
aged to read them.

caught cheating without giving him

of encouraging one student to tell

They were in favor of a system of
"class honorable' rather than the
honor of the individual.
In the sophomore class the discus-
a at a a
sion lasted tor two nours on me
resolutions that had been previously
adopted in the mass meeting. The
discussion showed that all the stu
dents were in favor of a high stan
dard of character. This class did
nothinir with the clause that made
each student responsible for the re
Dorting of the offenses of another
student
In all classes a committee was ap
pointed to confer with similar com
mittees from other classes in order
to draw up the final set of resolu
tions.

Ten Years Ago
Twenty Years Ago
Victories in three games was the
record of the Cornhusker basketball
team on its northern trip. The third
game of the series was with Shat-
tuck where the final score was 44 to the final examinations which were to
Tan Yean Afo.
The Cornhusker basketball team
left for its annual journey south,
Eight men were selected to make the
trip, and as they started at 7 o'clock
in the morning, very few students
were on hand to give them a send
off. Four Missouri Valley games
were to be played and the results of
these were to have a great deal to
do with the standing in the Valley
of the Nebraska quintet Two games
were to be played with the Kansas
State Agricultural College, and two
with the University of Kansas. The
Kansas Aggies had a veteran aggre
gation and were expected to be
a rather hard nut to crack. The
Jayhawk squad was also causing con
siderable worry in the Nebraska
camp, due to the fact that they had
run up a formidable score in the two
games they had played with the
Ames aggregation.
The semi-annual cram sessions that
are said to be a necessary
part of our educational system
had started in preparation for
22. At no time in the game did the
Shattuck men have a "Look in." The
system adopted by the Nebraska
team was one of short passes. This
plan was used by the varsity through
out the entire game. Much time was
lost during the game in shooting the
numerous fouls that were committed
by the Shattuck team.
The four classes of the University
met to discuss the adoption of the
honor system. Great diversity of
individual opinion prevailed in all
the classes but the freshman. In that
class the matter was quickly consid
ered, dispatched, and then the meet
ing turned to a consideration of a
class yell.
In the meeting of the senior class,
talks were given by several members
of the faculty. After some consider
ation the class voted to put itself on
record as being in favor of the honor
system but expressing sentiment
against the informing of one student
upon another.
In the junior class there was also
considerable discussion. Here the
first question to be considered was
whether the aim of the system was
to punish or to reform. The final
feeling was that a student who com
mitted an offense shouild be given
a fair hearing and the punishment
should fit the crime and that the
system should not become a prac
tice of dismissing every student

ule was practically the same as the
one now fh use, except that in special
freshman coruses, all sections were
to hold the final examinations at the
same two hour period regardless of
whether or not it would regularly fit
into the schedule.

drawings of things that were occupy

high pile of books, and having his
picture taken for the Cornhusker.
Another one picutred the front door
of The Daily Nebraskan, with a
broom propelling books, editors, and
dust, out in a great heap. This was
the house cleaning preparatory to
the election of the staff for the sec
ond semester.

Student Opinion
IS AGAINST SUPPRESSION.
To the Editor: j
The student opinion column has
been silent, but today it is alive J
alive with a criticism of the Youth
Movement alive with a criticism of
the books of Upton Sinclair and a
denunciation of the socialistic ten
dency. In youth is found the hope of to
laorrow. If we who are attending
universities at the present time are
the ones who are this hope and if
we are going to make this world of
tomorrow, it is up to up to read such
books as Mr. Gaffney objects to in
order that we may know something
about existing conditions. Such
books ar not vile and insidious.
They, in many cases, express the
truth, but more than that, they
