After all. what differences could one find

In anv event, we will gladly apply all titles

In any event, too, we will admit freely that

Wrtmen students have uroblems of their ow n.
too. For instance, the A. W. S. board has cir
culated a questionnaire. The results indicate
aneed for specific action regarding present
rules for sororities and dormitories.
Whether any action will be taken or not de

the new term. Wait until the objectors are in
a position where they can do no harm, and go

would it make us a floating university"
Swimming
Pool Funds.
The athletic department, by way of its keeper
of the puree, answera our plea for a swimming
pool in tto Morning Mail eolumn today. And
nTthe best of humor, too. W. are in favor f
good humored answers. The spirit of the thing
Fslems, "cordis to the right hortoraWe
Mr. Selleck, that tha athletic department needs
all of ite $4,000 a year rental income from the
coliseum, together with the athletic gate m.
ptos, to retire eoliseum bonds and maintain the
ThSfr the barest hint of a question in our
minds ahout the edibility of spending money
on a atadium and upon football equipment and
tripe, if the gate recepita at the stadium do not
pay the total of aueh expenditures. However,
they evidently also help pay for the coliseum,
which is an undoubted benefit to athletically
inclined students, for minor as well as major
3PTfc"s it teems, that if a swimming pool is to
be built, tome other way must be devised. Kin
tal of the eoliseum, for regular year-around
purposes, cannot be used. Athletic gate re
ceipts cannot be wed. Something else must be
used, else it will be 1936 before a swimming
pool can be constructed. '
Now if a start could be made, the pool, it
open to both meri and women, would undoubt
edly pay its own bond issue. For instance a
50-eent fee eould be eharged for admission to
the pool. Students, for. the most part, would
gladly pay such a sum for an occasional dip in
a real pool, rather than the two-by-four for
men only" now in tiae.
ttaw itiri! r.rmld sneeial events be held
in the coliseum, for the express purpose of
building up a swimming pool fund! Could a
carnival or two be held? Can Swimming Coach
Vogeler suggest any special events, the gate
receipts of which might start a pool fund! Can
anvone!
The price, perhaps, -would be rather nigh for
a good pool. However, we can see no reason
why the thing cannot be built in the coliseum,
and still be open to both men and women stu
dents. Different entrances, dressing rooms, and
If it eould, $35,000 could do the trick. Is
there some method of raising $15,000 for a
starterf The balance, paid at $5,000 per year,
would be retired in four years time. It is a
decidedly worthwhile project, if it can be
done. There seemt to be no outstanding reason
whv it can't.
What aay, Mr. Vogeler! 'Any ideas?
'An Epic Poem.
Came tie twilight, settling slow,
O'er tha campus, place so low
That the buildings, set up since,
The days of TO, are there stw.
Came the student, seeking rest
Following the day ei strife
Came mid papers all aserew,
Came they to seek their twilight rum.
Came the eopa, agog, aghast,
That the students should so act,
Came the coppers, raided soon,
The flat where students backed
Against the walls, held up their hands,
Said "Dome In, we will give up.
Take the stuff, we grant you it"
Went the students, eoulfully,
To the Tillage coop, wherein
Crawled the bedbug and the louse,
Went they, in lieu of better house.
Came the faculty, seeking cause
For all such actions, without pause.
Said they, "Do yon not know better,
Than to yourselret enfetter!"
Said the students, sorrowing,
"Know you not where Bobby B
Holds forth within the quarter mile.
Dispenses brew to all who come,
'. Gives it to the busines men!"
'." Where the lowest lowly Ford
; Stands beside the shining Cad
Belonging to the business lord,
'. Tbe man who turn the commerce wheel.
The one who garners all the cash."
"Where the tired business men
Travel when they hare a yen
For something extra hot, and then
Nothing eomes to molest them?"
"Why is it, O reverend sires,
That beside tbe church's spires
Stand tbe house of Bobby B
Where go all the business men?"
"Yet. the tired business men
Who enter there, the cops ne'er note,
Yet we, who otudy hard by day,
Are taken in at twilight's note f
: Is it because they have a vote?"
This, following our new policy, we hereby
sjjfl now iabei ' Frivolous." Thank ywul

"Swimming Pool, Hhi.v"
TO THE EDITOR :
We are as anxious as you to sec n swimming"
pool for Nebraska, and hope to be able to fin
ance one within the next few years. 1 esti
mate the cost of building such a pool in the
coliseum at from $35,000 to $40,000. To build
a pool in a separate building, accessible to both
men and women students (and this is what
most persons seem to want)' would cost from
$150,000 to $200,000, or possibly more, depend
ing upon the size of the building and its equip
ment.
Our rental income on the coliseum is amount
ing to approximately $4,000 per year, from all
sources. This is being applied to help retire
the bonds outstanding against the coliseum ;
the balance of the money required being taken
from our athletic department funds. Our bond
commitment requires all that can be taken
from both sources.
The cost of operating the department, the
cost of maintenance on the stadium, which has
been very large this year ($10,000) plus the
bond payments, has been fully as large a pro
grtm as wc could carry.
Great as is the need lor a swimming pooi, i
feel the need for more land for tennis courts,
intramural play grounds and athletic grounds
is even greater. This land north of the coli
seum should be cleared for university use, and
when so cleared and developed will, I think,
serve an even greater number of students than
any other undertaking now open to our depart
ment for development.
More detailed statistics and data on our ex
penses and income will be given you as you
desire. Our program, we tirmiy Peneve, is one
that will act for the best interests of the stu
dent body.
Yours very truly,
JOHN K. SELECK.

About These Women, Xotv
TO THE EDITOR:
I thank j-ou for your admittedly "frivolous"
answer to my query regarding the use of the
term "weaker sex. However, it may not te
irrelevant to call attention to the fact that your
staff are assessing women, as they and men too
should be assessed, with traits that are not sex
characteristics, but individual traits of the
members of the genus homo sapiens. Of which,
I believe, we are all members.
In this connection, may I suggest that The
Daily Nebraskan in its pages cease to "Miss"
anA "We " the women on the facultv. and
give them the titles which are theirs? Regard
less of the relative signmcanee oi me lines,
they are as worthwhile to the women as to the
men.
Yours truly.

College Comment
The Klan
Goet to College.
Eight students at the University of Kansas
have formed an organization to enforce the re
cently adopted anti-liquor resolution of the
Kansas fraternities. The Daily Kansan wa
informed of the new organization as follows:
"To Whom It May Concern:
"In reply to the so-called 'clearance resolu
tion' passed by the men's Pan-Hellenic associa
tion and student councils, 'clearing' the drink
ing problem on this campus, we, a group of
eight students, with the co-operation of an out
side group, are taking it upon ourselves to see
that these promises are fulfilled.
"Among the student body we hope to gather
sufficient information to rid the campus of its
student drinkers and bootleggers and see that
your diplomatic 'blanks' are not idle threats. . .
"The Group of Eight."
It seems fairly evident just what "outsidn
group" lies behind this society of noble vigil
ante. The Kansan calls them "white-caps."
The spirit of the Klan is by no means dead
Whether or not this group i definitely con
nected with 1ht organization, it is clear it, is
in its spirit that the new student organization
has been founded. Nor is the Klannish spirit
without others to carry on its medieval ban
ner. We have no lack of witch-burners. If tin
Klan has for the moment retired from active
part in the contemporary campaign against
freedom, it has its torchbearers among organi
sations somewhat more respectable at the mo
ment. Consider the D. A. R. and its blacklist,
the American Legion and its attempted exclu
sion of Dr. Einstein from the state of Califor
nia, consider the Coal and Iron Police, the San
Francisco chamber of commerce and its activi
ties in the matter of Mooney and Billings.
Certainly this is no era of great advance
ment. We have got rid of the ducking stool.
but there are plenty of equivalents. We ad
viae the Daily Kan ban to get buny on the local
substitute. Wisconsin Daily Cardinal

DO YOU SEE THE MAN?
Yes, I see the man! Well, that is Androcles a great, etc., etc.,
grandson of Androcles, and he is clutching gently but firmly
a naive lambykin, who likes to gambol and a haughty lion who
like to be ferocious.
WHY IS HE DOING IT?
It's really a long story but for brevity's sake the lion and the
lamb typifying to a degree (A. B. or B. S.) the changeable and
very treacherous weather of dear old Nebraska during the month
of March (you know "In like a lion out like a lamp!").
WHY IS HE SO NONCHALANT?
The answer is most simple yes, indeed he is having a gay time
because he's wearing a very swanky new topcoat that protects
him from the elements at all times warm when it's chilly dry
when it showers comfortable when it's balmy!
