On to
The Wastebasket.
Having conceived a parking plan of some
value. 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

Miss Coed:, You can have it you saw it
first.

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.

The Pasting Time.
Next to coed smoking rooms and tandem

is for definite instruction in time wasting.

Cambridge Debaters Find
American Civilization
To Be Unusual.
Spitoons coeds, central heating,

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-

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.
When approached on the subject
of prohibition, their only reaction

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. The Ne
braska sweethearts may read one story, dash
to the drug store for a cigaret, return for an
other story and the morning is almost over.
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.
Kaeh student organization should post
rules and recommendations concerning the
problem "How to Wnsto Time Most, Com

sued by the extension division. 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.

G-E Floodlighting Wins Favor for
Football - Hockey - Track - Baseball - Tennis
G-E floodlighting equipment has a winning record. Its victories are counted
in terms of pleased spectators, increased attendance, satisfied coaches and
players.
The development of G-E athletic-field floodlighting equipment was planned
with every consideration for the fundamental and special playing conditions
it must meet. That is why the big Novalux projectors give ample and
evenly diffused light over the entire playing area.
-v.
The development of General Electric floodlighting equipment has largely
been the work of college-trained men in the G-E organization other college
trained men are largely responsible for the continuing leadership of
General Electric in furnishing the many other products which bear the G-E
monogram.
