IMPROVING THE CAMPUS.
pONTINVKD h"U for Ihoroufh-jmnf ctmpui
besutifiration rroiram that would remove at
least th more conspicuous eyesores has elicited a
ftatement frm Chancellor Edgar A. Burnett.
"It's money mint jet If were fomf to lm
prove the cmr.ru." the chancellor declares in effect.
It I money or rather the Uck of It that, com
mnW enoi.gh. blocks every progressive move that
la undertaken in a public lntitutlon. And In such
a larjrp stste f-oncero aa the I'nlveraity of Ne
bra. there are an many things to be dona-all
falling for B-.oney.
I'nttl a little more than a year sg the legislature
wen't even providing enough so that the university
cou'.d retain lt bet professors. Ona by one they
ere s! ppir.g away to other schools who mere able
la pay mora than the paupemed University of Ne
braska. But that leak bow has been stopped. De
sired professors bo longer )eaa because of Inade
quale stipends, and the instructional force of the
university has shown a remarkable elevation In
prest.fe and Increase In number of truly learned
men and women.
Certainly the faculty of an institution is more Im
portant than Its physical plant. The administration
is to be commended for first taking injures to
bring l!a faculty to the highest possible level.
Campus Improvement mmee next, hut it will
come alowly and only with Increased appropriations
by the legislature.
gOXTE of the first things to b done Include the
following:
1. Purchase of considerable land north of the
stadium and coliseum for a dnll field, athletic
field, and tennis courts.
2. Running another mall, comparable to
Memorial mall, up through the present dnll
field which will be removed.
a. Closing Twelfth street from R to Memo
rial ball to auto traffic and making It a pedes
trian walk only.
4. Tearing down the old heating plant, re
moving the coal Flacks, demolishing Mechanic
Arts ball and the already decapitated Nebraska
ball:
5. Erection of a new engineering building on
the sites of Nebraska and Mechanic Arts halls.
6. Construction of a student union center
somewhere cm the campus.
Present students la tha university will not see
these tremenduous Improvements wrought in their
undergraduate daya. They must be content, or at
least pacified with th situation today.
It does seem, however, that something could be
don to eradicate some of the apparent monstrosi
ties en th campus. Classed among these arc (1)
Canine hall, doghouse shanty of barn-red hue af
fixed on th east aid of Pharmacy hall, 2) Two
"ticket booths" looking as grotesque and out of
place in their position before the imposing portals
of the stadium as a couple of mice before an ele
phant. T70R TOT more Important development projects
pertaining; to eampua beautification, the univer
sity must bide its time until holders of the people's
purse, L e., legislators, see fit to loos the strangling
strings a btt.
Simple Improvements which require little expen
diture, however, should not need to be put off so
indefinitely. The dog house surely should be re
moved and without delay. Shrubs should be set out
in barren spots about the campus, the small amount
of lawn left ahould be kept in fine trim, flowers
and vines should be planted around campus build
ing. Dreams of today of a truly beautiful, campus and
an enlarged physical plant will not be realized for
many year. And while 'tis well that those far
vlsloned plans have been drawn, while expenditure
on campus plots which will be taken care of under
the sew campus plans would be foolish, there are
certain Improvements costing littl but meaning
much in presenting an attractive campus that could
and should be made.
The drill field may remain in its barrenness, but
along: the sides stately poplars might be planted
and across Its sogginess in rainy weather a decent
walk might be laid. Other walks, like the stretch
between Social Sciences and Bessey hall, should be
relald. Other spots need closer attention of gar
dener. Tor tha advancement of such simple effective ex
pressions of campus improvement should beautica
tlon work be promoted today.

JHR,
WHEN COEDS WED.
IEE-FOUETHS of the senior women in the
University of Nebraska Intend to gti. married.
Asked about marriage and their plans for the fu
ture in a questionnaire sent out recently by the
Lincoln Star, seventy-five percent of the senior
coeds avowed their expectancy to wed. Delving
into statistics which cover the past score of years,
it is interesting to note that between 75 and 80 per
cent of the women who come to college do so to get
married.
That means thst about 2,000 of the 2,600 coeds
now enrolled In this university may be expected to
grab off a mat.
Before this event, however, most of them intend
ti teach, to be stenographers, to do some kind of
work- During this interim between their life aa stu
dents in college and their lifework as homemakers,
their contact with home life will be minimized.
Nothing they do in these various lines of business
or professional enterprise will aid In their task of
home maldng. All of the background will come
from a few years around home during high school
and grade school dayk.
When The Nebraskan some time ago suggested
compulsory home economics courses of a practical
nature for coeds to remedy this situation, said
coeds tittered and tossed their fluffy heads.
They do not Ma to realize the tremendous slg

THIS COMPULSORY DRILL.
To the editor:
An editorial appeared in the Nebraska for May
16 which I cannot refrain from answering. This
editorial gives three benefits from military training
and decries the critism which some students make
of it. I have long desired to write or say something
with regard to military training on this campus, but
because I realized that nothing would come of it
and because reformers and critics are usually re
garded as, and often are, crack-brained individuals,
I have aaid nothing. However, when the subject is
brought up directly by tha Nebraskan Itself, I de
sire, if possible, to refute the statements.
The Nebraskan says that studenta who grumble
about spending three hours a week at dnll are
probably the ones who are lacking in ambition and
do not like their work in other courses any more
than their drill. In reply, I would say that not a
better place on the campus could be found for stu
dents lacking in ambition than the typical class in
military science. Personally, I enjoy drilling. It is
rather pleasant in nice weather to get out and exe
cute in nice formation platoon and company com
mands. But ths majority of the year is spent in
the classroom listening to so-called lectures which
are not only dull, they are illiterate. They are not
only uninspiring, they are full of militaristic propa
ganda. (I realize that sounds like an alarmist.)
Possibly one test during the whole semester is
given, after the answers to all the questions have
first been read by th instructor. If a cadet can
not remember all the answers, be baa merely to ask
either the instructor or else any of his fellow stu
dents. The other periods, he sits sleeping or smok
ing while the Instructor reads from a manual vari
ous kinds of junk. Is this a course for ambitious
students?
The Nebraskan next claims that the physical up
lift received from the R, O. T. C. is very beneficial.
Even th army officers themselves have given up
thia perfectly absurd argument quite a while ago.
They used to use it but on being pinned down to
facts they admitted that little or no physical bene
fit could possibly result from spending only one dsy
a week in marching, even if cadets marched all
three hours every week, which they do not The
purpose of drill is certainly not physical exercise as
any cadet who bas had it can tell you; it is "suc
cess in battle," for that is what is taught as the
purpose of all military drill. Anyone knows that a
regular physical education course which meets reg
ularly and provides real bodily exercise as well as
recreation is an effective way of getting "physical
upliftment."
Finally the Nebraskan thinks that students musi
get much benefit "from association with such in
spirational men at Lt. Col. F. F. Jewett and others
on bis staff." I am perfectly willing to agree that
Mr. Jewett is a fine man. Even if one does not en
tirely approve of the profession in which he is en-;
tered, there is considerable excuse for men of his
age being in such a profession, which was more
necessary when he entered it than it is now. t Some
one will surely dispute that.) But Colonel Jewett
does not teach any classes whatsoever. I do not
wish to say anything here of a slanderous nature,
but I am positive that there are military science in
structors on this campus who, supposing they bad
any ability, would not be tolerated in any other
field as instructors of university students. Is an in
structor an inspiration who in a classroom yells:
"If there's any more of this God-damned foolish
ness somebody will go over to the Dean's office."
I assure you that I am not a puritan who ia shocked
by su:h things, Mr. editor, but I merely wonder if
such instructors, for there are more than one, are
true inspirations.
I hardly expect this to reach print, it is so long.
Tet there is much more I should like to say. If I
receive encouragement by seeing this in print, per
haps I may get riled enough to writ some more.
I admit that I am a pacifist. I believe tn a neces
sary standing army, and If desired, I have no quar
rel with elective military training. But It seems to
me that students with their own ideas who come to
the university to be educated, supposedly, should
not be forced to take military training and learn
all the militaristic propaganda.. Military training
does not make students like it, nor like the idea of
war; it makes them sccept it
