Bentlinaatji ol Fred A. Harsh, of Archer, one of the newly elected members of the board ot regents, toward tie University were voiced In a public statement ot Jklr. Marsh early this week. His ex pressions are republished today under the heading, Otliar Editors Bay" for the benefit of those Inter ested In the) the University who way have failed to see press dispatches of his statements. Students are at present vitally concerned with tbo University as an Instrument for their own edu cation. But in a mere period of from one to four year Cwdr interest will be- that of alumni con cerned With the University's contribution to the state. The University of Nebraska, started almost before the people of the state had their own homes, baa held a significant place in the life of the state tbroughout Us history. Its continued service to the state is dependent on financial support suffi cient to retain its equipment and its personnel on a plane comparable with the development, not alone of other institutions, but of the state itself. Appreciation of this need was expressed in Mr. Marsh's postelection statement. "Retention of growing teaohers and better wages for them; An old ace provision for teachers who have given their lives ia the service of the University; an adequate building program." How essential these the.se thing? are to the continued development of Cornhusker dom as a leader in the state's progress! How essen tial they are to the development of that fine type of citizenry which has been the proud product of the University of Nebraska for more than fifty years! Students will in a few years be sharing in the responsibility for the development. Attention may well be directed to the significant needs of tho University while In attendance here. WELCOME THE PANTHER Nebraska's student body will welcome Pitts burgh this week when the Nebias-ka Cornhuskers meet the powerful eastern invaders in what is scheduled to be one of the country's outstanding in tersections! football games of the week. The task before the Scarlet and Cream foot ball eleven this week Is a difficult, one. The game on Memorial Stadium field Saturday will be the hardest of the home season to put into the win column. Nebraska students should realize that the Cornhuskers have been through a tough schedule this year With the tougher part yet to come. This week students will have the opportunity to show that Cornhusker spirit that la known for its warm hospitality in welcoming visiting teams, pwo weeks have elapsed since the Husker followers on the campus have had an opportunity to see a home game and welcome a visiting team. This week re news the football season at home and the students, cooecfoaa of the victory march of nix games, should not forget the difficult task ahead. Pittsburgh Is coming to Unroln rated as the underdog against Nebraska. This despite the fact that the ByTaoase Orange went down before the Golden Panther eleven 18 to 0 and tho 21 to 13 de feat handed Nebraska last year by Pittsburgh. With Nebraska doped to take the Pitt game, the Husker eleven will have a hard battle to fight Sat urday afternoon. The psychology of the pigskin pastime ia that the underdog always fights the hardest to win the contest. Nebraska will have to overcome that thread of football psychology in the ritt team Saturday. The Student body will wel come a tongh team for a tough game in the last big interactional home game of the Nebraska football season. THE RAGOER: Realization of the futility of a cram session always comes after the mid-semester examination, yet there seems to be a constant need of reassurance. Tied eyes this week might, mean late hours studying or else attendance at the "Singing Kool." It must have been a poor date, for the wearer of the purple hat has not called for the poem as yet. Pitt won't be able to hide behind the smoke pull Saturday. The Kosmet Klub essays another "hot" piece of work picking the "Sweetheart of Nebraska." OTHER STUDEISTS SAY FRESHMAN LECTURE AGAIN We are here in the University to gain knowl edge, in other vords, to find truth. So let the truth be known. Since t' e reader of our institution, and more pecifica'i' the Freshman Lecture readers, have been subjected to an attack, their position must be justi fied or else the attack must be repulsed. The readers agree that papers should be re turned within a reasonable length of time, so that the student may profit from his mistakes before his interest flags. It is reasonable to expect papers back each week. If the papers were handed back iny sooner, those with late papers or rewritten pa pers could not be given the opportunity to hand thorn In for reasons which are ebvlous. The rule of the Freshman Ltctur? office that i set of ordinary papers bo handed back each week has been absolutely conformed with. A set of pa pers a week has been returned each week except tho first. And that week, since, the papers were twice as long, the period of time spent on them by the readers was consequently twice as long. Five seta of papers have been handed in and three sets have been returned. The fourth set is due Ihlrt vei'k while the fifth is due next week. Hut iu consequeute of the holiday afforded by the celebration of Armistice day the readers have had nn opportunity to male up for tho week when the papers were twice hs long. So, impatient freshmen, come and get your corrected papers, and may you profit from your many and varied mistakes. Wo are very much afraid that the attack was matin with a boomerang tho missiles were argu iients which havf -returned to repulse the attackers. If the truth must be known, let It be known! E. G. E. A STUDENT LOOKS AT PUBLIC AFFAIRS By David Fellman "For it is the quintessence of Americanism to win unity through controversy. Controversy is essen tially creative, and debate is the mother of democracy. Opinions that have In them any life what ever in this country are not handed down, sealed, Blgned, and delivered by remote authorities. They come up hot from the clash of conflict ing Ideas, with all the dust of the struggle still on them." This motto, posted on the bul letin board in Nebraska's venerable "Think Shop," Is well worth pon dering over, especially in the light of the last vigorous political cam paign. Cautious, silent Calvin Coolldge broke a long period of reticence with a speech on Armistice day that stirred the world, expressing in clear and emphatic terms what has been hailed as a "new declara.; tion of American independence." This speech of preparedness de serves the careful study and con sideration of every American, as it Is one of the most Important and remarkable pronouncements ever made by a chief executive of the I'nlted States. The portion of his address that containod a plea for PREREQUISITES AND REGRETS tine of the most unsatisfactory things In be coming a senior iu school consists of what one might call "cuniculur regrets." As he reviews his first three years of study and attempts to correct, his past mistakes for tho future a new trouble strikes him. He finds that regardless of his mis cellaneous reading, regardless of his general knowl edge most of the courses In the senior division that would fill out his course of study are barred to I hose who have nol taken the prerequisites. It is easy to see thai the system of prerequisites , R stronger navy has aroused the is in most cases a necessarv condition. Courses are greatest amount of comment. useless in the advanced material of a technical field In which the student has no foundation. They must be grounded on steps which already have been taken by the individual in his knowledge getting process. Yet the evil exists, especially for the students of the liberal arts who have a general background without having taken a prerequisite and who would like and should have the privilege of taking such advanced work. This condition seems most unfair In the fields of thought training thought courses, so called. Specifically these are the philosophy courses, those In the social sciences snd literature. Why not open these to anyone who can pass a general information examination? J. H. OTHER EDITORS SAY NEW REGENT MAKES STATEMENT Tho following is a reprint of a press dispatch In thn Lincoln Star for Monday, No c-iiiIjc-i r. giving tlm plans of Fred A. Maish, ii'-wly elected regent: F'red A Marsh of Archer, newly elected member af the University of Nebraska board of regents, Monday made public a statement setting forth his proposed plans for the beiterine it of the University. His statement follow s: "A substantial endorsement by the voters in the third congressional district of my candidacy for re gent of the slate University brings no jense of per ioual elailon. The vote in Merrick county where 1 was born and have always lived, influenced by friendship of long standing, is, of course, gratifying. Hut aside from that the result can mean nothing pise than an endorsement of my views and policies, w hich have had I he w idest possible dissemination throughout the district. As a result of the election these policies now become a matter of state-wide interest, and I am anxious to secure the reaction of educators and taxpnyers in other sections of Ne braska as to their importance and their feasibility: "1. Increase rigor in entrance requirements. "2, Retention of growing teachers, and better wages for them. "3. An old age provision for teachers w ho have given their lives in the service of the University. "i. An adequate building program. "5. The utmost publicity in university affairs, Including frequent and thorough auditing of unlver slty accounts. "6. Cultivation of a fine democratic spirit in the student body; i.e., a reasonable limit upon the activities of sororities and fraternities. "7. Student control through co-operation of fac ulty and parents. "8. Character building as the supreme purpose to be attained. "Almost certainly a majority of these proposals are affirmed by present members of the board. Where differences exist I pledge tolerance and a willing ear to every dissenting voice." Some significant parts of his ad dress follow: "All human experience seems to demonstrate that a country which makes reasonable prepsration for defense is less likely to be sub jected to a hostile attack or to suf fer a violation of its rights which might lcBd to war. This is the prevailing attitude of the United States, and one which I believe should constantly determine its ac tions. To be ready for defense is not to be guilty of aggression. -"We can have military prepara tion without assuming a military spirit. It is our duty to ourselves and to the cause of civilization, to the preservation of domestic tran oullltv. and to our orderly and law ful relations with foreign people, to maintain an adequate army and . navy. I "The present size of our regular i army is adequate, but. it should continue to be supplemented by a 1 national guard and reserves, and i especially with the equipment and organization in our Industries for , furnishing supplies. "When we turn to the sea the j situation is different. We have not j only a long coaBt line, distant out-! lying possessions, a foreign com- j merce unsurpassed in importance, and foreign investments unsur- passed in amount, the number of , our people and value of our treag- j ure to be protected, but we are also bound by international treaty to defend the Panama Canal. "Having few fueling stations, we require ships of large tonnage, and having scarcely and merchant ves sels capable of mounting 5 or 6 inch guns, it is obvious that, based on needs, we are entitled to a larger number of warships than a nation hiivlm; these advantages." Another sipnificant political ad dress was that of Governor Al Smith, delivered over the radio last T.,i nioM Ills idea was for the preservation of the party that he led In tho recent presidential campaign. "The principles for which tho Democratic party stand are as great in defeat as they would have been in victory, and it is our duty to carry on and vindicate the prin ciples for which we fought The Democratic party would not. be in a position four years from now to solicit the confidence and the sup port of the American people, If dur ing that period it neglected to build up a constructive program and re lied entirely upon the failure of the opposition party. That cannot bo done by tho minority party per mitting Itself to become a party of destruction and opposition for poli tical purposes only." At the same time Governor Smith urged that the president-elect "Is not the president of the Republican party but the r esident of the United States. He is the president of all the people and as such he is entitled to all the cooperation of every citizen In the development of a program calculated to promote the welfare and the best interests of this country. He is entitled to a fair opportunity to develop such a program. "It will not do to let bitterness, rancor or Indignation over the re sult blind us to the one outstand ing fact, that above everything else we are Americans. No matter with what party we aligned ourselves on election day, our concern should he for tne future welfare, happiness, contentment and prosperity of lit American people." This is a noble declaration. game in mid-season, will be all the small games aitowea, oiucmis uu clare. IRON STRIPS REPLACE MUSCLES TO HOLD BONES Cnliiul Krom Pure I.

Un less their parents can afford to send them to schools not supported by the state its sons and daughters must remain in Ignorance of those accumulations of scientific research and reasoning summed up un der the general heading of evolution, or else they must, be Informed through bootleg channels. Teach ers who undertake lo expound Ihe subject become ipso facto criminals subject to har.sh punishment. Undoubtedly uot one out of ten of the persons who voted to hamstring education by closing one of ihe paths of the search for truth and light had the slightest idea of what evolution Is other than that in some way li supposes man to have a physi cal connection with the lower animals. Any explor ation into the facts of undue that leads to such a conclusion is dangerous and wicked. They had It on the word of their local pastors thai such a sup position is a denial of the first chapter of Genesis and that if you deny the first chapter of Genesis you might as well throw the whole of Holy Writ Into the discard. Tho slamming of the schoolhouse door in the face of evolution isn't so much to bo deplored for evolution's sake as because of the precedent, it es tablishes of blinding the educational eyes and clos ing Ihe educational ears to anything which happens to be popularly distasteful. Involution can take care of iiself. If there is merit in It the truth will out, if there is not It will ultimately fail, Hut we can do serious injury to our educational systems by kicking the foundations from under them and attempting to store them up with popular prejudice. Once we undertake to shut out the facts and theories of natural science we may extend our med dling to oilier matters. Let us forbid examination of the political philosophy of Karl Marx in our state universities because our fathers bequeathed to us a capitalistic state, l.et us throw- out Shakespeare because his low characters talked like guttersnipes. Let us banish algebra, which is eternally concern ing Itself with the conduct of a mysterious Mr. X, who may be a rank Infidel and a dangerous bolshe vik for all we know.. And after we have finished with the work of scholars by denying them a right to be heard in tho schools there remains only to turn these Insti tutions over to the powerful private inlerests, who greedy eyes already observe In liinm sn ideal field for the spread of their propaganda.
