A Last
Request
und tho university finance secretary acting in
a purely advisory capacity.
The move evidently must be made by 1 lie
Student council and the alumni aHSocintion,
acting .together. It must be nradt soon, or it
will be loo late to get any sort of an organiza
tion effected this year.
.
Can these two bodieN agree upon a eoimnit
tee selection within the Aveck? J they can,
preliminary work can get under way immedi
ately. If they cunnot, it will be too late to do
any work at all for another year, for a student
union campaign cannot be begun and com
pleted in a single fall nor in several fall
terms.
To date, a total of no seniors have received
offers of lucrative positions with soandso com
pany. "Wide, wide world will stand a bit of
going after, maybe.
Wish we could think of a good crack on picnics.
Mi van's budget in for another tough seigc
today. What was it some one snid about "An
ounce of prevention. . .?"
Business very slack. Only four letters bawl
ing out the editor received today. May print
one of the most, inclusive tomorrow.
Check from tobacco trust delayed. Still no
inonev from communists either I Ho hum!
There seems to be no real obstacle in the
w ay of the swimming pool construction plans.
First, there could be no legal restrictions on
bonding the pool. For the-university is not
mortgaging any of its property in floating the
bond issue. There would be no security back
of the bonds, except the promised income from
registration fees. The word of the university
guaranteeing a yearly income sufficient to
cover interest and payments is all that is
asked. That word can easily be given, insi
We see by the drill field they are ueaving
tin cans there now. Ought to relieve the park
ing situation a bit, if carried out.
i'm i- .is chii-lcnts are evidently unanimously in
support of the project, and are willing to have
a one-dollar fee tacked on their registration
charges.
So the administration can promise five thou
sand dollars a year with a clear conscience.
The pool would bring iu at least that much
from registration fees, with no possible room
for doubt on that point.
Next comes the question- of selling such
bonds. "Who will buy them? "Well, with the
guarantee of the administration back of the is
sue, and with a certain source of income as
Mired (from registrations) there would be no
difficulty in persuading a downtown construc
tion firm to bid on the job and take up the
bonds at the same time.
In fact, one construction Company already
has signified its willingness to bid on the con
struction work and buV all the bonds, if the
university can promise a set yearly income
from the pool to cover interest charges and re
lire 1he bonds. Just the promise no mort
gage on anything. And hence no legal entan
glements. The matter is simple-as A. B. C. First the
university shall promise a yearly income. They
secure this with no loss to the university itself
by including a one-dollar fee on .registrations.
' Then, with this promise as security, down
tow n firms stand ready to bid on the con
struction work, according to specifications,
and to take up the entire bond issue theni
sel ves.
Last of all, the students go swimming in the
pool, with no extra fee except that for class
instruction.
So obstacles, no legal entanglements, no
questions that canuot be easily and accurately
seitl-d.
Conidsiins the simplicity of the work to
be done, an :1 "thanking the administration for
ils v.bclcberrtcd interest and support of the
preje:, v.c make o'.ir last request.
Can a regents meeting be called for Satur
djy. May 0? Cr earlier if convenient and
possible !
All coll y. s will celebrate on " FniverMty
Day" this Friday. Considering the fact that
. ry l'".r lias his day, why not. include a
"Phannaey Annex Convocation'.'"
Says the
Blue Shirt!
Blue Shirt faction loaders, before the last
election, concocted a platform. It -was a real
platform, we'll say that for it. It had planks
and everything.
The faction made promises, too. The plat
form promised, if the Blue Shirt candidates
were elected, to start immediate ACTION on
the union building drive.
It promised immediate ACTiU.N m provid-'
ing a gift from the senior class to the univer
sity. Each senior class, it was argued, . will
follow this newly started tradition.
And it also promised ACTION in securing
lower party prices. "We suppose the faction
meant lower priced tickets for the Prom, the
Interfraternity ball, and the Military ball. (In
teresting sidelight the .Barbs made no pro
mises, but the all-university parties they spon
sor are the cheapest and best the campus has
yet seen).
Another election is approaching. The spring
election. In it will be the Blue Shirt candi
dates. Their record, we suppose, will be
pointed to with pride.
We feared, as in other years, no one would
remember just what the successful faction had
promised, so that no one would be sure just
what progress they made in fulfilling their
plal form promises.
So here is the platform :
The Blue Shirts promised immediate ac
tion on
1. Union Building Drive.
'1. Senior class gjft.
3. Lower party prices.
4. Some other meaningless drivel, not im
portant enough to repeat.
Just what they actually did about fulfilling
Hiese promises we Jeave to the students to
judge for themselves.
And incidentally, just to avoid hard-boiled
comments of "Sour Grapes" we hereby certify
and swear that we arc Blue Shirts. If this be
treason, etc., etc.
College students are always well informed
on current events. Some one even asked us
yesterday "What, is all this row that's going
on in Nicaragua, or somewhere?"
Four Weeks
Left to Co
Four weeks left to go and nothing done.
Nothing, that is, but picnics. And after all
picnics are a great collegiate institution. They
inure one to the hardships of life, and all that
sort of thing. Ants in the potato salad, bugs
in the sandwich spread, and whatnot. Not
'much to do about it. anyway.
On a student union project, there is every
1 hing to do.
First, appoint a committee, to handle the
drive.
Second, let the committee, acting as a direc
tory body, cover the campus and state with
publicity. Pamphlets, pictures and every sort
nf illustrated reading matter must be used in
th" ndvri;e drive. This work should begin
immediately, and carry over the summer.
Third, the committee should make plans to
open a real drive for funds, to start Milh the
first fool hall game in the fall of '31. No rea
son to delay the start further.
Work on all three of these points should be
li'.'gun, and begun riyht now. There are but.
four weeks to go. Much can be done in four
weeks, if much is attempted. So far, nothing
has been attempted.
The Innocents' active interest in the cam
paign, if any, has reached a conclusion. The
senior honorary is through.
"We have done M'hat Ave could to stir up in
terest in the building idea among the students,
and to find out, what we could about the pro
cedure involved ill erecting such a structure,"
says the president of that group. "The next
step in order is for the alumni association and
the students, probably acting through the Stu
dent council, to get the committee named and
organized."
ITe is right.
The next move is to secure a committee, per
haps of three students, throe faculty members,
and three alumni, with the alumni secretary
We hope it's a good and hot. Saturday when
the regents meet. A beaming sun might help
them to lend an attentive ear to the plans for
a university swimming pool which will be sub
mitted o Ihem linn.
Daily Nebraskan "Old Car Derby" warmly
advocated by local undertakers. Clad some
body likes the idea.
MORNING MAIL
On the Other Hand.
TO THE EDITOR:
There appears in today's Nebraskan an edi
torial entitled "Says the Blue Shirt."
Now dear editor, how could you ? Did you .
ever hear of a political platform that meant j
anything.' Of course you didn't. Do you think j
other campus factions Mould have lived up loj
their promises any better: (.Note: .o, we uouoi
it. KD).
. And another thing, ed old fellow. oil must
at least give the Blue Shirts credit for trying
on the student union proposition. They really
made an attempt to arouse student sentiment
for the project. You know they did. They
tried in every way possible. They had meet
ings, they talkedthey debated, they dug up
information on various and sundry ways and
means.
It was not will to do, but rather a lack of
co-operation from the student body that
slowed up the project. This species eollegiana
is too dead from the neck up ever to do any
thing constructive.
And still another thing, old top. I suppose
you are going to blame the financial depres
sion, which in the final analysis would have
killed the project had the students taken it up,
on members of the Blue Shirt, faction.
(Note Two : Why, is Hoover a Blue Shirt?
ED.).
Really, ed old son, give the Blue Shirts a fair
break or two.

Propaganda threatening the
truth and honesty of the public Is
hown to be distributed by the ad
ministration in its attempts to the
good citizens of the state that the
university is a serious home for
study rather than an endless
whing-ding. Staff members who
have before this been unheard of
are disclosed, and their duties ex
plained so that even a dental stu
dont will be able to realize the se
rious situation which threatens to
engulf the dear old coll itch.
Inspired by a feeling much like
that expressed daily by Prof.
Lauritz Void of the Law College in
"Let us retrospect and see where
we are at," the editorial staff of
tho A mrmin haa riven some aerl-
ous thought in an effort to suggest
certain reorganization acts which
should place the school among the
leading colleges oi oouui aiuciiw.
