Lrfinff to roniinu their round of scholastic nctlvitifs Monday morning Spring recess, accord ing to Oie unicrsity calendar, came to an abrupt clis -n Thursday morning, but students realize the futility of returning before Monday. 'Dissatisfied presents his views of the half week holiday In the Student Pulse column. Unless the spring vacation period Is given for the benrfit of overburdened bookworms who must pre pare term papers, ronke up overdue assignment ind hrng scholastic work up to date, It is Imprac tical and useless. Three days are required for moat students to travel to their homes and make the re turn trip to Lincoln. They are given scarcely enough time to eat one meal with their families, hint for a check, and board the return train. Classes on Thursday. Friday and Saturday after spring vacation are poorly attendee". Scores of stu dents remain at home until later in the week, know ing that little will be accomplished In the aftermath of the holidays. Kew assignments are given tne lonely group of conscientious Cornhuskers return ing on time. Dissatisfied" offers numerous objection to the present plan of predimissal vacation. His sugges tion that the holiday be extended to a full week or completely abolished is practical. The taste of scholastic freedom provided in the three day pe riod Is not conducive to a whirlwind finish of the school term, nor is it sufficient to rest and refresh students. Abolition of the short recess might aggravate the collegiate poker players who thrive at their re spective fraternity or rooming houses duitng the vacation, but It would be relief to those who spend a strained trio of days in an attempt to relax. If spring vacation Is considered advisable and neces sary. It should be allowed to take up a full week. If it Is simply a wen meant, but unsuccessful at tempt to provide a rest period, it should be eliminated. bility that aha might attend one of these dens with aut wjUim by the wayside.

MASKED REFORMERS. the PSYCHOLOGY underlying the issuance of "With Fire and Sword," recently published sheet of enlightenment, is basically sound, according to a letter appearing in the Student Pulse column Fri day morning. Its author believes that the piercing floodlight of publicity will go far in correcting the flagrant evils which exist on the niversny 01 Ne braska campus. "It enlightens the students and th public by permitting them to look into our university instead of merely at it, as we have hitherto been compelled to do by the fortitude of the laissez-faire attitude," comments the critic. It seems quite unreasonable that any self ap pointed, irresponsible body of students, taxpayers or public spirited individuals, should be recognized as eligible to search out the musty crannies of ad ministration and organization. Perhaps the au thors of "With Fire and Sword," together with its tolerant readers, take the sheet too seriously. Public opinion varies on many questions. The statements made in the mysterious sheet do not express the sentiment of the atudent body a a whole. Several Individuals, thinking alike on mat ters of public interest, may make known their re flections under cover of secrecy, but a group so constituted Is scarcely to be dubbed a public sav ior. If a professor flunks a score of student they might band together and insult, slander and "disclose" that instructor. Would anyone be In terested? Information which makes its appearance beneath the cloak of secrecy and darkness may or may not be true. Fact, thus presented, may be taken seri ously. Radical opinions concerning the competence and character of men and women, however, is of little value. The handful of upright, honorable revolutionists may express the thoughts of the "Gadflies," but not of the student body. Perhaps their publication will come to replace the defunct Awgwan, In time. WHOOZIS HALLS COME parents gasp In supercilious astonishment at the suggestion that they send their daughter to a coeducational state university. They shudder at the thought of their tender, frail little girl amidst the flagrant sins and laxities which they neiieve prevail in such Institutions. Under the Impression that thev are delivering their precious charge from an educational hades, they send her to a girls' school. She enters Whoozls Hall, a demure, any. unsus pecting creature and la taken Immediately into the prison-like atmosphere of the institution.. While confined within the walls of the collegiate cage, ah learns of th outside world through books. Her contacts with the opposite sex are infrequent, if not nrohibited entirely. i Eventually, she persuades her parents that ah la sufficiently mature to be trusted in a coeducational v-hnnl. After thinkins; the matter over with se rious deliberation and the use of extensive statistics, ber parents decide that perhaps there is aom possi- SPRING RECESS? To the Editort And again, we ar back in school after a brief, oh so very brief, spring vacation. Yea. we are starting out with the same old chant of Joe Col lege try'" to get by with as little work as pos sible. In spite of the fact. I still believe that this idea of half week vacations is very, very wet. In the first place the university has a large num ber of students whose homes are considerably dis tant from Lincoln. What is the result from this extended weekend? It merely moans that If the student really cares about going home, he will spend most ot bis time In aa automobile or on th train, with a couple of meals taken with the home folks. Such an undertaking besides being highly unsatisfactory, la somewhat expensive. Because of this last mentioned consideration, many students are unable to take advantage of the vacation to call on their parents, either because they cannot save on living expenses, or because the expense in volved is not commensurate with the value re ceived. A second consideration is the working student. Either one of two things happen. The part time student must remain in town, with no value re ceived in being at school, and his living expenses exceed the revenue received from the part time work. Again there is the student who stretches bis part time Job to full time during the holiday. Such an arrangement is again bad, for Just about as soon a he gets In the swing of his extra duties, it is time to traipse back to college. I am told, however, that one shouldn't gripe un less he has a remedy for the ill which he is decry ing. For this, I will offer two suggestions. The first, and most satisfactory to most parties, would be an extension of the vacation to a full week. If this would not fit into the plans of the univer sity. I would suggest that spring vacation be done away with entirely. To me that would te vasiiy better than the present arrangement. The regular schedule would not be broken up so unnecessarily. Heaven knows, there are enough distractions dur ing the last of the year. Ivy day, with all of its holy (whatever It is now), "weeks" and "days" of all kinds, entertaining alumni and whatnot, makes ae rious study and accomplishment practically Im possible for the rest of the year. How about it? Just try to vacation or go to school; in either case It la practically impossible at this season of the year. DISSATISFIED. A STULXNT LOOKS AT PUBLIC AITAIRS. A PROTEST. To the editor From certain secret buzzlncs about the campus, I am inclined to believe, that Miss Heppner was mistaken when she said that girls were not inter ested in the Idea of a change back to the 12:30 Hmit for house rules. In fact I cant thinK or a girl who doesn't complain frequently about the rush and push in the eating houses' that lie conveniently near party rooms. It tin't a question of service at most or inese places. On the contrary it is a question of getting in nvwhert and finding a nlace to sit and eat. It is hardly reasonable to believe that a boycott would remedy this. We can't expect drug stores ana cares to enlarge their quarters to accommodate the crowds. The only way of getting a place anywhere Is to go early from dances that ena an too eariy. Students who live In Lincoln can go to outlying places where the crowds do not go, but it is Im possible to go far and still get back to sorority ana university boarding houses by 12:15. An extra fifteen minutes would help out in mis resoact if not in any othei, and what ever the "other reasons" why boys want this change may be, I think I am representing the opinion of a great maloritv of coeds by saying that it wouia maice things much more convenient for us. We think the men of this school are honest enough to be backing this campaign for convenience only, and not for ul terior motives. BY DAVID FELLMAN. Th extraordinary difficulties whRh tit American prisons have experienced this yr. brougni to a horrible climax with the burning of 320 helpless men In the state pent t miliary of Ohio, bring out cloarty a fundamental weaknea of our political system. That weakness is th employment of mm with no special aptitude, generally lor po litical reasons, to fill position which reoulr a bush dee re 01 specialised administrative skill and training. The lis of th amateur and the politician tn American ad ministrative service flows from an unhealthy and unreasonable dis trust of the expert on the pan 01 tb people, and from a spoils sys tem which civil service regulations have by no means obliterated from the American scene. In reviewing the causes for the Ohio tragedy, our publicists are generally stresslnr. aa in xunua mental reason, the overcrowaing to which the penitentiary was sub jected. They cite the fact thai nere waa a prison aeaignea to carry maximum load or Z.DOO attempting to house 4.000. It Is. of course, quit obvious that discipline Is very art to become a difficult thing to maintain under such con ditions, and that the prisoners. who are still human brine, de- spit taelr Incarceration for hav ing broken the laws of society, will react dangerously and violently to oppressive circumstances. The penurtousness or tne state 01 uum. in falling to provide for adequate prison facilities, is a condition which is widespread among the atatea c f the union. The public, however, is not gen erally blamed overmuch for the in adequacies or the prison system, because of the fact that crime has increased out of all proportion to the normal demands of our popu lation. Whereas in England pris ons are being closed up. or sold to private persons who delight In the ownership of curiosities, the de mand here for prison facilities has far exceeded the expectation of a normal supply under ordinary cir cumstances. It Is quite properly pointed out that it is reasonable to expect the states to spur on their building programs, and that it Is also unfair to denounce a sit uation which waa hard to antici pate. Since prohibition and hard times have swelled to enormous proportions the opportunities for legal crimes, more lime is asneu. The lack of building space In our prisons, due to a large crime wave whicn was noi xoreseen. nuwtvcr, does not tell the whole story. The investigations which are being con ducted at Ohio reveal other con- . , t M I ... 1 siueranons wnicn are lununuicmoi in their importance. They dis close the fact that the care and management of 4.000 prisoners was in the bands of a group of men. with a warden at their bead, who were gross amateurs in prison management. A most significant fact in this: That there were no rules or orders ever worked out to cope with a possible fire in the prison . This constitutes not only sheer stupidity and incompetence, but, under the circumstances, criminal negligence. That there were no fire regulations and no plan worked out in advance to handle a problem alw ays imminent does not speak well for the current standards in prison management. The average prison warden holds his Job by virtue of a political ap pointment. Many of them are, to be sure, Inherently able men, and some of them do acquire a great deal of knowledge about the prob lem of detaining and caring for criminals. But the qualifications of training and special knowledge as conditions precedent to entering the profession are almost nuga tory. And the situation with res pect to the prison guards and as sistants is even more deplorable. This sort of work is considered by the men who carry it on as Just another job. Men are hired for positions as prison guards with al most no care as to special quali fications. The American people have not as yet developed a trust In the services of the expert permanent official. In Great Britian and France the permanent expert ad ministrator who spends bis life in the service as a career is taken as a natural and most important part of the govem-nental machine. Po litical off:-;:d may come and go, at the tov of the official hierarchy, but the "vast general staff which carries on the routine of govern ment goes on without regard for the political vicissitudes of the parties. We have this yet to learn, to trust the servant of the state, and to consider his position not as a mere "Job" but as a career, for ing are elementary criteria.

ARMY OFFICERS GIV E TRIBUTE TO JEWEn Reserve Men Present Token Of Esteem to Cadet Unit Leader. to DISMISSING CLASSES. To the editor: This writer believes that when the following In cident occurs, it' time that the university should effect a change. A professor appeared in class and stated that It would be an opportune time to dis pense with the class for that day. or to do some such novel thing as hold class on some grassy por tion of the campus. Due to certain university rul ings, however, he had no right to dismiss his class. This profesor inferred that he might lose his Job if he were to dismiss a class without permission from tb proper authorities. Many universities do not even demand a stu dent's attendance at classes, and certainly do not for bid a professor dismissing a class when he is In the mood to do so. However, many instructors at Nebraska are less conscientious about this ruling than the above men tioned. Nevertheless it appears entirely unneces sary that an Instructor should find It necessary to be directed by such an absolute ruling. R. S. B. MILESTONES AT NEBRASKA APRIL 27 1925 Tut-Tut."
