To the Editor of The Nebraskan:
IVx it not seem too bad that
the University of Nebraska har
bors some of the deadest thti.gs on
earth (I hope you will allow me
to use the superlative here) ?
Now I do not mean some of tbe
things about which you have been
printing articles this summer, but
I refer to dead clocks. I think
bout the most depressing thing I
know Is a clock that refuses to
tell time. For years the university
has bad some of these on Its walls.
This has a bad effect on persons
coming Into the classrooms for

recitation and gives a bad Impres
sion to visitors pasrlng through.
If the university cannot afford
to have them counected with the
electric current, let the authorities
order the Janitor to take them
down and get them out of sight
While I am airing this grouch
I should like to appeal for better
Janitor service In tbe university.
I refer to the dusting of the fur
niture In Uie class rooms. Why not
have the superintendent of build
ings order the Janitors to dust each
morning? This would not Incur
much extra expense and would Im
prove things tremendously.
When students enter the library
to study they must use handker
chiefs, scrsps of paper, or anything
they can find to wipe the dust off
the tables so that It is safe to
study there. There Is small Incen
tive to students to put on fresh
clothing: each morning and then
spend the first hour at a table or
desk that looks as thought It had
not been dusted for a week.
It seems that the university will
employ faculty members of culture
and refinement, trained In the best
schools of the country and then al
low them to teach at desks that
are laden with dust It Is repul
sive to the teachers and to tbe stu
dents as well. No matter how
fastidious a teacher is be gets
dust on bis sleeves and clothing
and the students notice and won
der what is the matter with the
university system of housekeeping.
I have such high regard for the
work offered by the University of
Nebraska that for five summers I
have paid a non-residence fee in
order to attend here, and have
usedd my Influence to get others
to do the same. But these small
evidences of laxity cause the ap
pearance of the university to be
less enticing to students than It
deserves. You can't sell sugar In
the back part of a store if the
show windows are full of flies.
Yours in summer heat,
XYZ.

MUD BALL TURNS
INTO VALUABLE
MUSEUM EXHIBIT
The largest septearium in the
museum was recently secured by
Prof. E. H. Barbour from Rev. G.
L. Shull, Vferdon, Neb.
A septearium is a mineral con
cretion formed in a peculiar man
ner. It was originally a ball of
mud which hardened and cracked
in the sun. These cracks then
filled with mineral matter and
when the mud washed out, it left
a beautiful honeycomb of mineral
deposit.

- match thrown out of a window
of the second story of Maxwell hall
lighted In mid-air, and when It
struck the ground, caused a grass
flrel This nappened Monday aft
ernoon when the official ther
mometer at Science hall stood at
109 degrees.
An aankntant In the registrar's
office, at tbe University of Indiana,
found a match In his pocket, and
remarking that It might take fire
this hot weather, threw the match
out of the front window of tbe
registrar's office. He noticed that
the match Ignited before It struck
the ground, and commenting on
the weather, went on with his
work. A few seconds later, he no
ticed the odor of burning grass,
and leaning out of the window, be
saw a miniature prairie fire be
neath the window. The fire was
easily extinguished.
"THE total registration for the
1 1030 summer school at the
University of Texas rose to 3,426
after the completion of registra
tion for the second term. This
total gives an Indication of a regis
tration of 288 new students in that
university for the second term that
were not there during the first
term.
So far the 1930 summer session
has an Increase of 120 students
over the 1929 period which reached
3.307.
