A SPIRIT OF UNREST.
IUCH It being eald these days
'about the spirit of unrtht and
disruption that U infesting all
fields f hu.nan endeavor. And
r.ot the loajt among these being
mentioned Is the? educational world,
which to be sure Is getting Us
r-hare of the spotlight.
Locally, three public uptake
and several student writers have
given vent to their Ideas concern
ing the present mode of training
youn people for the teaching
guild. Heretofore. The Ne
braskan. editorially, haa not taken
part In ihe deo.ue but has re
mained -dent and chooses to re
main ru .except for the enumera
tion of r general slant on the sub
ject. At th; meeting of the Institute
for Adm.nistrative Officers of In
stitutions of Higher Learning held
at Chicago last week, so Dr. T. J.
Thompson, dean of students af
fairs at the University of Ne
braska, reports, this very matter
was discussed quite at length.
According to the dean, the con
sensus of opir.-ou a: the meeting
was to start some program where
by young instructors who go out
to their various fields may be
thoroughly equipped to handle the
subjects which .they have been as
signed. And this is to start right
at the top with the Institutions
of higher learning.
THE Nebraskan does not wish to
deprecate the efforts done by the
University of Nebraska teachers
college. It realizes full well that
that branch of work Is being car
ried out on this campus to the best
intents and purposes on the part
of the faculty and administrative
officers.
But to say that there Is noth
ing wrong with the system in gen
eral is evading the issue. It is
clear to see that something is in
the air and unless something is
done similar to that at the Chi
cago meeting, the coming genera
tions will continue "to be ham
pered by the American school sys
tem," as observed by one of the
eminent speakers here this sum
mer. It is true that wailings and
rumblings or tae critics of the
American educational program
may have that "what is wrong
with us, anywayj' complex, but it
is surely hoped that they may be
able to see some change in the
usual lethargic attitude taken by
the American public in general.
HOW COME?
JOE Deming, the columnist, today
wonders what has become of
that true old Cornhusker spirit.
He seems puzzled over the sup
posed lack of student interest in
one of the University of Ne
brabka's major activities the
yearbook.
It does seem peculiar that from
anion-; a gioup of at least 7,000
persons, who attend the regular
tarm oi school here, that not even
2.C0O co le Cornhusker can
be disposed of.
What ia ve trouble? Why
should the publication be forced to
face a deficit in its accounts ? Is it
because its clientele will not sup
port it? Or is it because of mis
management ?
At the beginning of the last
school year, in September, 1929, it
waa found that the now defunct
Awgwan, humorous magazine,
was trailing in its balances with
some huge amount The reason
then was attributed to the staff
members for alleged lack of busi
ness ability and for apparent lack
of interest. .

thotiKli it may seem plausible
when one comparea the record of i
this year"! Maff with tne ire
which operated Ut year.
The compaiiHon Is simply thin:
In July lOUt) there were leu thn
half a docen copies of the Corn
busker unsold; in July 1030 tlieie
are more than 350 copies stored
away in the basement of I'niver
Hity hall, waiting to be told.
It Is entirely possible, however,
that a great change rame over the
Nebraska student body during the
past year. Intent ol the Mudont
masses in matleri outiile tho
realm of currleular activities may
have become dampened during the
twelve month Interim by the many
happenings that tharnctcrtrcd the
last schoci year.
If o there I" need - dire ned -for
a reawakening among Univer
sity of Nebraska htudenta for such
things as their only annual -the
Cornhusker. If that Is not trouble
then there is nerd for pi'"
careful scrutinizing of the work

(Continued .vom rage l.i
students. Another Is the hesitancy
that the faculty Is apt to snow in
granting any considerable amount
to power to a student governing
body.
1 leave it to The Nebraskan
editor to point out the manifest
advantages of student govern
ment. "Of course there will always be
scoffers cynical persons who can
see nothing but the obvious facts
of life. There must be some stu
dent activities and some school
social life for there to be any need
of student government.
"Officers and members of the
regular term student council will
welcome a similar organization
during the summer session."
Barb View Given.
From the standpoint of the non
fraternity student or the "barb" as
he has become to be known. Alan
G. Williams, boss of the barbs, is
strong for student government at
all times summer or winter.
"Students ought to be able to
run their own affairs and it
seems to me that the authorities
should encourare It as it is won

Williams is positive that the
barbs would give the idea unqual
ified support and would also take
an active interest in the affairs
sponsored by the group, should
one be organized.
