The Nebraska wonders just what use will be made of the suggestion. Wc have, by dint of strenuous mental exertion, devised i scheme whereby the present parking problem would be remedied. What becomes of those newly hatched brain children For the past three years the university has liecu scratching it mighty head and pondering over the question of parking on the campus. Students have been coaxed to leave their cars at home when the walking distanco was rea sonable. The. gear shifting collegians, how. ever, have turned deaf ears to the administra tive pleas and the parking situation grows worse every week. Our plan may have been too dumb for words, but we deserve some consideration. Operating Superintendent Seaton quoted an objection or two concerning the proposed plan, but we cited ways of overcoming the weak. i) esses brought out. Why must the student body smash fenders, trail into classes lute every morning and afternoon? The parking problem can be erased. 1 This university is overflowing with pro crastinators. Over in Morrill hall we have a beautiful model of the university campus in 1950 or later. Perhaps at the same time this aesthetic layout is provided, parking places will be abundant. Dut this is not a salve for the present pre dieament. Students who live out in town and actu ally require transportation to the campus are unmercifully bunted out of parking spaces by collegians who could walk to school without injuring their delicate limbs. This condition lias existed for three years and the adminis l ration is still advising that student drivers be rational in their use of autos. Mr. Seaton suggests that the. situation will be better when the new mall is con structed through the present drill field. Surely! It will be better, too, when automo bile are built to fit in the vest pocket. Students are powerless in this institution. Their only representative body, the Student council, is simply a clearing house for student opinion. That body has no positive power it only recommends, certain things to faculty committees or administrative officers. Is it any wonder that the average Nebraskan shrugs his shoulders and loses interest in this linker, sity as a living institution? "We must have a clean, wholesome sin. dent spirit," gurgle the faculty, administra tive and student dreamers. Then here is an opportunity to 'help stimulate this lagging in terest. The parking problem is acute. It do. mauds and deserves solution. Will the uni versity do anything constructive? Or will it allow a dreamy film to coat its mysterious eyes and gaze into the future. It's a wonder the hitching posts and water ing troughs demanded by our grandfathers are not being installed on the campus this week. Housemother: Is that your cigarel stub on the floor. Miss Coed:, You can have it you saw it first. These burglars, if they are wihe, will stay out of fraternity houses.- They're liable to get robbed. Profei$ionalim Stalk$ Into Collegiate Athletic. In the rush and excitement of footbuli games, the public forgets that an undercurrent of illegitimacy is wearing away the props of college athletics. We cheer for old Ooowah and another, touchdown, caring little whether the winning score is made by an amateur player or a hired hand. Public opinion is far too fickle and un reasonable to deserve the judge's role in sift ing out the athletin jumble. .Those who wero most impressed with The Nebraskan 's attempt to reduce the amount of job hunting for foot bull players early In the fall have forgotten this lively crusade and are immersed onco more In the athletic dip. We are not ready to drop this mooted topic. We believe that Nebraska is lily white iu comparison with some of her neighbors, but that she may be drawn into the maelstrom of proselyting if public interest is not centered on the matter. A letter "Athletio Hypocrisy" reached The Nebraska effice this morning, but will not. be published until the author makes known hi$ nime. This- letter commented Intelli gently on the present situation, but annony mous contributions of significance cannot be accepted. Robert Cordon Sproul, president of the University of California, recently stated his in tention to plug for football "no matter how ef ficient un educational program might he evolved" without it. He qualities his stutenient by adding: "I am assuming that the teams are in truth rcpre sentative of the institution of which they conn und not a group of professional athletes hircil by will meaning but misguided alumni and friends'." President Sproul is assuming u great deul. What is the mujor purpose, speaking bluntly, of the collegiate foothnll team? To win panics. One who maintains that his almu mater's grid siund is intended primarily to instill and strengthen school spirit is mistaken. From the stndpoint of the football fiend, school spirit is a necessary asset to the pi skin warriors for it stimulates them to grcatei effort aid the consequent winning of gann We must be sure that athletic encounters an the children of spirit ami that collegiate loyalty is more than a poorly disguised pro moling scheme for the foot bull god. Football has grown to vast proportions. When is any demonstration of school spirit of fered at this university? In connection with grid games. Perhaps the spirit is prtsint throughout the year but if it is so important and desirable, why does it not appear more often? One might be quite safe in guessing that athletic departments recognize the value of rah-rah spirit and hero Morship 1o their grimy warriors. So they call in the school's work horses, innocent or otherwise, and ai range a fine rally program. If the team loses, someone is bound to blame the student body for not supporting it. Is this significant? Certainly, for the pro moters fell down on their job. School spirit, the extra push needed for football victories, was not sufficiently to spur the tenm on. While wo go merrily on, cheering and fighting for our team, let us not forget that school spirit is more valuable than football victories to a school. When one cannot have spirit without football, then loyalty is chained to athletic encounters. Football has its fine points and they should not be overlooked. But let us keep in mind the rational objectives of the coaching staff and the athletic department. And lei us be certain that they arc not pulling against the true aims of an educational institution. gallant knights of yore, had 1o summon up their courage and will power to withstand the wiles of woman. We have no desire to enter controversy eoncet niiitf "necking." whatever the term inny imply We believe 1 lint hell-raising. as ex plained in a previous editorial, is a thing to be avoided. If the remedy involves a revamping of human nature and instincts, however, we scurry away. Such editorial crusades arc useless.

Our collegiate sister schools have slipped occasionally, and we are not completely im mune to the onslaughts of misguided alumni. The well known horse must be kept be fore the well known cart.

How to H 7 aste The Pasting Time. Next to coed smoking rooms and tandem bicycles, the great need of the modem time is for definite instruction in time wasting.

FEW WOMEN ALLOWED E NGLISH COLLEGES Cambridge Debaters Find American Civilization To Be Unusual. Spitoons coeds, central heating, an diced water are the factors of American civilization which have most Impressed N. C. Oatridge and Albert Edward Holdsworth, of Cambridge university, England, in the first two weeks of their tour of twenty-eight American univer sities. Among the many differences in English and American universities, the Cambridge men pointed out the greater informality in the English university In the method of con ducting classes. Students are not compelled to go to any class un less they want to; in this way the proficiency of the professor is de tnr a class with an en- rourae. Few Women Students. Athletics in the English univer sities do not have the following that they do in America, except for th Oxford and Cambridge boat races, which are practically a na tional lnalliuuon. iiiey nave ganized cheering, however, and in cricket, the audience is supposed to refrain from loud cheering. All the universities in England except Oxford and Cambridge are co-educational, but scarcely any of them to the extent of American university life. "In fact," laughed Mr. Oatridge, " the general opin ion ia that Oxford is degenerating because an increasing number of women students are allowed there." English schools and universities have no compulsory military train ing, although in a few schools, a certain pressure is exerted by school authorities which is un popular with the students. "But, said Mr. Holdsworth. "I think any thing compulsory would be dis tasteful to any Englishman." 8te U. 8. Movie.

More than half the groups, however, have not yet checked in according to C. D. Hayes, secretary. This brings the total subscrip tion on both campuses to approxi mately five hundred dollars. About two hundred more is expected when the other groups report. Croup of Six Girh To Care for Home For Next Six Weeks ' A new group of girls began a six weeks residence at the home management house, 1234 Ft. Tues day Dorothy Duhackeck, Lincoln; Vera Fenster, Hampton; Goldie Gibson, Wahoo, Grace Ann Hayek, Brainard; Ruth Meierhenry, Ar lington; and Edith Woodruff, Tulsa, Okla. are the new residents. Living in the home management house for six weeks is a part of the training of home economics students who are preparing to teach under the Smith Hughe3 lav, or who are taking institutional management. Other students may elect the course. The taking care of a baby less than a year old by each girl for one week is an interesting part of the house schedule. Jerry, now at the house, is the eighth baby to be cared for. He comes from St Thomas' orphanage, and at the end of the school year will be re turned there. Miss Louise Leaton is the resident instructor at the house, supervising the work done by the girls. Each girl has a dif ferent duties each week. The duties rotated are hostess, cook, assistant cook, housekeeper, child director, and laundress. The girls who have just com pleted their stay in the house man agement house are Elizabeth Wil liams, Lincoln; Nlesje Lakeman, Sargent; Freda Bebee, Ord; Ida Ellis, Blue Springs; Frances Wil son. Giltner, and Viola Jasa, Thurs-ton. For men, we recommend card playing. A good hridge game will last from M:U0 in the morning until time for lunch. A pitch session in the afternoon will hlot out the spasms of conscience which the morning class skipping escapade may have summoned. Movies in the evening, followed by a long session in some one's room, make the day complete. We surest confession magazines ami pic ture books for the coed populalation.

Unless the coed is popular enough to rate an afternoon date, she. may spend the rest of the ilnv iii the s.iine manner. Caking may be interspersed between pasl times by both sexes. It is usually the. most complete waste of time and hence the most satisfactory, We do not mean to criticize the splendid student body. We realize that every mother' son and daughter is doing. his best to waste time. It is not a ease of unwillingness, for most collegians are only too glad to loaf. The system is at fault.

Degrees could be offered for the best loafers. ' An honor committee might select t ho per sons best qualified to waste time and give thein the job of agitation for coed smoking rooms. That would prove finally the subject's qualifications. American journalism by the New York Times."
