DEALINGS IN FUTURES.
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.

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!

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.

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.

ARKANSAS FOLLOWS SUIT
lly l he deliberate choice of its people the state
of Arkansas goes fundamentalist and decrees that
modern science must take to tho tall timber. 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.
