Swimming pool r1" 'es ""oie will probably build a pool, to be ready for use next tall are taking form. There are two alterna tives, as follows. . 1. Build a pool beneath the stage, in the coliseum basement. The cost vould approxi mate $35,000.00, to be raised by a bond issue, and to be paid from income of the pool. The 'difficulty no security for the bonds, which would of necessity be peddled to inter ested, wealthy alumni. They would be sold on the basis of 'the university's promise to as sure a reasonable annual income with which to retire the bonds as they come due. The uni versity could easily make this promise, inas much as the rent now paid to downtown pools by te. school is nearly $2,000.00, and the reg istration income for swimming classes could be made to total at least $4,000.00. The pool would be adequate, there is no question about that. And for six or seven years, too. The only thing it would lack would be sunlight, perhaps, and seats for spectators. 2.. The other plan is to construct a separate building, to house two swimming pools, one regulation and the other "a shallow pool for beginning classes. This structure would also house dressing rooms, showers, and an office or two. Difficulty how to raise the cash. There would be no difficulty about legal security for the loan in this case. The university-owned land, west of the coliseum per haps, could be advanced as security. In addi tion, a xefinancing of the remainder of the coli seum Indebtedness, including the necessary $140,000.00 for the Bwimming pool building, could be arranged. This would mean a lower interest rate on the existing coliseum bonds, and ihi utilization of the coliseum as security for tie new loan, payable over a longer period nt time, "Finance Secretary Gunderson: "The spcoivI plan would be the easiest to finance. Could be dona in a business-like f ashion. No peddling of unsecured bonds to alumni, or any of that sort of thing. I'm in favor of it." John K. Selleck, of athletics-finance re nown: "The first plan is the best, and might reasonably be carried through. Who would pay the cost of a separate building T It would tie the athletic department up for ten years if we did it, and no chance to buy more needed land, and expand our other activities. I'm not in favor of it." . I's: "We're in favor of number two, in asc it's at all practical, A loan at smaller in terest rates, over a longer number of years, should not tie up the athletic department too much, even if it is for an extra $140,000.00 or so. .Saving In building costs, and in interest idles, should mean something, too." Jfudy Vogeler and Miss Lee: "We're in favor of a swimming pool, and don't fight so long over where to put it, that it will be too late to get one built after all." Well, maybe, there's a chance that every body's right after all. Certainly the bonds for a $40,000.00 pool in the coliseum might be sold, with a little earnest solicitation. Certainly, too, the plans for a large, separate structure, with an ample amount of sunlight and ideal pools, should not be given up unless absolutely necessary. After all, Finance Sec retary Gunderson saya its much more businesH like, and lhat refunding the remaining coli seiini indebtedness is not impossible. ilr. George Abel, of the Abel construction company, says: "Let us see just how this could be done, now. We'll call you up after we see a trust company and a lawyer or two. Ought to be able to figure out some way . . . now let's see . . ." And that, fellow students, is the great swim ming pool situation on the fair campus of our beloved Alma Mater. Oh, yes, one other statement: Chancellor Burnett: ". . ." Another student comment on the alcoholic content of suspension slips, athletes, and legis lators' sons. Student comments on any other subject undr the sun are welcome. Knough sfjid already, in this case. . . Lincoln is about to eee its first real lioy Scout circus. Such affairs convert the old gang spirit into constructive activity. Now, if we could arrango a reformer moralist circus, and get a little constructive activity out of that lodge. . . Another Auguan Out. Campus beautiful number of the Awgwan U on the streets. It may usually be found next to most any curbstone. Contributions fair. Editorials and short art idea good. Sales perfect, as usual. The public mem ory is so short 1 . Theme song of the issue ah, here wc nave it Our Beautiful Campus 1 After all, it is admitted that every Nebraska student has a good time wisecracking the out standing ugliness of his campus. And then, too, if a state university can't get money to retain the best instructors it gets its hands or, and can't get money for buildings, and can t get money for plant maintainence, it has to excel in something. So it is that we are proud to say, "Our university is the ugliest in the whole United States!" And that's something. Naturally, there are many features of the present mess that cannot be helped. The drill field, traditional outrage, has no excuse for its status quo. The university cither owns or has options on sufficient land, in a less conspicu ous place, for'an adequate drill field. And it would take very little, money, comparatively speaking, to put in a second memorial street across the present Great Nebraska Desert. The two telephone booths in front of the stadium may be useful, but the. regents should be made to realize that the days of modern plumbing are here. Junk the things, before the students do it and get jailed for the out rage! , The front-view fire escape on the Temple is ugl-, but can hardly be said to detract niueli from the beauties of the building as a whole, fo it really has none worthy of mention. The botanical garden swimming facilities may be replaced with either a separate build ing, to house a new swimming pool and dress ing rooms, or .else a pool will be installed in the coliseum. This to be done before fall. That's something, too. If a swimming pool is constructed in a sepa rate building, west of the coliseum, one step would be made in the somewhat tiresome and long-drawn-out journey toward the campus beautiful. If a memorial mall were spread out across the present drill field, much, that is ob jectionable in the present layout would be re moved. If a student union building were constructed, another vast improvement in the appearance of the campus would be realized. A large quantity of "IfV and a serious shortage of cash, howl the guiding lights of the shop. True, of course, and yet Come to think about it, there are a number of things that might be done, and done at very little ex pense. At as little expense, in fact, as was entailed in the construction of Dog House an nex. After all, it does grow just downright dis couraging to have the big guns go ahead and build such things as dog houses and telephone booths, instead of landscaping few rose-covered vistas. Vistas are such nice things to have around, doncha know! Awgwan cleverly evades the ruling against tobacco advertising, by advertising c s, all the well-known brands, etc. Well, here's luck. Rules are for those who cannot discover ways and means of evading them, according to latest Chicago practices.

If it would help the quality of the vaudeville at Lincoln theatres any, we would almost call the demonstrators Intelligentsia. College Comment Summer Employment. The time is now approaching when students will le looking for good summer jobs, ones which will yield them sufficient money to con tinue their studies. With a few exemptions, the type of work will not be considered, unless it is particularly wearisome, and then Ihe easy job will be chosen before the more difficult one. Some will be waiters, others bellhops, and still others speelers on the buses. They will be In company, for the most part, with other stu dents, and a sort of temporary fraternity will exist. Their conversations will concern expe riences with customers and employers, and wages. At the end of the summer, they will re sume academic life, richer in pocket, and with the recollection of a pleasant summer with other students. All this, it Kwrns to us. is very profitable financially an. I very enjoyable, but not very broadening. After all, the student's holidays are his only free periods from the tnixup of lec tures and reading. lie is given an opportunity to figure out just what new learning he baa de rived from his past year, and is able to get away from its strain. It in up to him to put the time to the best use possible: now the "Im'hI use'' to most students is synonymous with the "highest paid work" regardleHN of its nature. KxceptioriH. however, are to be found, and it is tlie altitude taken lv iiiosc few winch we would greatly commend. The odd student goes off to the country and gets a job on the farm, where he mingles with jtoeple of a typo to which he is Accustomed and gets to know their attitudes. Others go off to work in mines, of of their own free will, and a very few get into factory work, where an attempt is made to understand all the difficulties of the average worker, and the implications of the industrial world. When the fall comes, such student have more to talk about with their friends than a few anecdotes acquired during the summer. They have acquired an understanding of people with whom they do not mingle in everyday life, and are in a better position to consider their problems. 'oiiie will complain that such jobs arc not am lucrative as the regular '"student jobs,' and that their lot it) earning will not Ih euough to put them through college for a year. Our an swer to this Is that It would be well worth a student's time to seek out such experiences, even if be is forced to borrow money to tide him over. After all, opportunities such as these will sever come later on in life. Hence, to those who ara no looking for summer employment, suggest that they ob tain employment amoag group vith which they are not well acquainted laborers, miners, factory workers, farm binds. In this way, stu dents may study their attitudes and difficul ties, may enrich their own experience, and so make the moM of the few free months at their linposnl. Mctilll Daily, NcbMan's Land VTE WANT a fcwtmmlng pool! We need a swimming pool! Let's pet together mid howl for a swimming poci: e nun tvwi have recourse to the Y. M. C. A. that fellows do. The situation seems to be like this A pool might "be built under the stage in the coliseum. That would necessitate a bond issue. The ath letic department pays the Y for the use of the pool there. So does the swimming team. There would be $1,500 toward a university pool. Registration fees could be charged too. Five dollars a semester would not be so much to shell out for the pleasure of swimming. It would be of course be impractical to tell a girl she was paying five dollars a semester to float a bond issue. But Jf bhe is paying it to float herself Jt wouldn't be so bad. DUT to get back to business, it seems that the coliseum bonds ara not yet retired, whatever that means. Therefore thore is no legal security to back more bonds, what ever that means. Therefore, tho Mr. Selleck thinks this could be worked out, Mr. Gunderson doesn't like the idea. Mr. Gunderson thinks it would be just as practical to build a sep arate building for the pool. It would cost more, but it could be fi nanced just as easily and bonds could be floated with legal secur ity. The income from registration would meet the first payments. Then the athletic department could take on the burden later, if it ever gets out from under the coliseum load. ""THAT seems to be the situation. Mr. Gunderson has the whip hand, we are told. We don't see much preference as to which plan is followed just as long as one of them gets followed soon and a pool is built and filled with water that is wet. Shall we howl for one or the other or either? Or shall we just howl? At least all girls we have talked to seem to be in favor of the establishment of something larger than a bath tub for their oc casional recreation. VjTHAT can a poor columnist do when picked on? If one back chats at cracks, one is criticized for making the affair personal. If one does not back chat, one is ac cused of non-resistance. This one does not like to be accused of non resistance. So it seems necessary to remark for the benefit of the Behind the Door man that Ben Franklin at least had a chance. Awgwan reappears. Improve ment as rapid as could be expect ed.

Blessed be the ties that bind, and don't imagine for a moment that we are referring to last Christmas's gifts. Far from it, in fact we only have in mind the spirit of brotherhood that appar ently does not exist in some fields of the world of journalism, or should we say the creative field of writing. Back at Harvard, for- : give us for mentioning the school i so often but the truth is we rather like the place, there is much ado 1 between the two factions that get out the two university publications the Crimson, undergraduate daily, and the Lampoon, campus humor sheet, published fortnightly. Since its creation the Lampoon has been suspended, (which places it in the same category with the Awgwan, j but not for reasons of filth, ; merely because of cutting and all too evident parodies). It has also been the source of much criticism for its cartoons and bits of wit. . Naturally the Crimson has al ways been on the alert and eager to add a black eye to the Lam poon. Thoy have done well, but in spile of their efforts the Lam poon has continued to be very popular. Recent action has been crystallized with a report by the Crimson that the Lampoon is to be suspended, bpcause of printing material that phould have been suppressed. They blatantly an nounced the supposition with a three-column head. Now the Lam poon indicates that it may bring a suit for $10,000.
