THE REASON WHY
IN his reply to the numerous com
plaints about the parking situa
tion and heated conditions in the
library, L. F. Seaton, operating
superintendent, points out that
university otticials are as desirous
of making these changes as any of
the students. But when these im
provements cost money and when
no money is appropriated for such
purposes all of us have to "tike
it and like it."
In regard to parking conditions,
the university often receives criti
cism which it dees not deserve.
Particulaly is this true in regard
to parking on the streets adjacent
to the campus. Students complain
that parking places on these
streets are filled with cars belong
inf to people working in the down
town offices, and ask that these
streets to b3 reserved for student
cars only. Evidently such students
forget that the people of Lincoln
have as much right to the use of
these streets as any student and
that the university has no jurisdic
tion over such public thorough
farts. A survey of parking conditions
at the unversity taken yesterday
morning shows that students are
not taking full advantage of what
few parking facilities that have
been provided. While there was
great congestion on the streets
south and east of the campus,
there were many empty spaces to
the west, along the street south of
the stadium and on Memorial Mall.
When the new Mall is paved the
parking problem will be well on
the way to a happy solution. Plans
had been made with the hope of
completing this improvement to
the campus soon. But with the
cut in the university appropria
tions recently passed in the legis
lature, there will be little more
than "hoping" accomplished for the
next year cr so, at least.
We admit that even with the
addition of the ten fans in the li
brary, it has been too hot to study
lor any period of time, especially
in the upper rooms. But on ac
count of the way in which the
building was wired, it is imposci
ble to put in anelaborate coolhig
cyst cm even if there were funds
available for such a purpose. To
charge ths wiring vould also re
quir'." an expenditure of money.
iV jdents write objections to
pa i King1 conditions and the "sweat
box" (a fond summer school ex
pression for the library) but there
are conditions at the university
r.ir.ch iroro vital to the progress of
the institution which merit careful
study and criticism by the Ludcnt
body.
Crowded conditions in the class
rooms, need for new buildings and
row equipment, campus improve
ment plans, adequate recompense
for instruction, i.eed for additional
instructors thc:e aie a few of the
problems now facing the admin
istration and the student body.
And the greyest need of all is
the erection of a stele pride in its
irrtitutions of higher learning. Ne-bre-;ka
haj developed an admirable
pride in its sacocc'ary schools.
There is hardly a town in the state
but what boastn of a modern, fine
looking sehool buildirg.
Ncbraskans would have a sim
ilar pride in thsir university and
col.?ges if the bandits of such in
stitutions were troujht to them as

CHINESE DISHES to c. d r
schools. Students and alumni of
the university could do more
toward the creation of such a state
pride than any other group.
In order to develop such a pride
there must be an interest in the
institution, 'an awareness of the
needs of that group, and a con
sciousness of having made an ade
quate provision for such requests.
To establish these three things in
the mind of the people of Nebraska
is the job of those students who
are now attending the university
and those alumni who have al
ready received an education pro
vided and financed by the state.
And may that day soon come
when citizens of Nebraska, when
listening to politicians legislators
or governor who promise reduc
tions in taxes, may demand
whether or not these "reductions"
are to be made by crippling the
educational institutions and stunt
ing the intellectual growth of the
youth of Nebraska.

ANSWERS.
5. Feb. 15, 1S69 marks the estab
lishment of the university.
2. The regents, Feb. 7, 1871, re
solved to open the first department
of the university in the fall, and
on April 4 they selected a corps
of competent and experienced pro
fessors, and fixed the time of open
ing Sept 7, 1871.
3. Through a board of six re
gents, elected on a nonpartisan
ticket, for a term of six years, one
from each of the six different con
gressional districts in the state.
4. The chancellor, who is di
rectly responsible to the board of
regents.
5. Through the dean3 and direc
tors of the various colleges, schools,
and important branches of work;
faculty committees; the finance
secretary; the registrar; and the
superintendent of operations.
6. The finance secretary of the
board of regents, who is responsi
ble to the chancellor.
8. These are under the control of
the operating superintendent, who
in turn is responsible directly to
the chancellor.
y. According to figures compiled
in December, 1929, by Dean Ray
mond Walters of Swarthmore col
lege, Nebraska stood thirteenth
among the colleges of the United
States and Canada in point of reg
ular full time students, the same
position held in 1928. The survey
chewed Nebraska enrollment to be
exceeded by that of California, Co
lumbia, New York university, Illi
nois, Minnesota, Ohio State, Michi
gan, Wisconsin, Harvard, Univer
sity of Washington, Pennsylvania,
and Toronto, in the order mentioned.

STUDENT OPINION
Dancing Curriculum.
Why can't we have a thorough
course in dancing taught here at
the university during the summer?
The invaluable benefits derived
from such a course would go a
long way toward making a more
rounded life to the distorted, one
sided socially crippled students
who lind themselves a misfit in
every worthwhile entertainment.
My pleai s for the opportunity to
learn and appreciate this method of
social self-expression which goes a
long way toward helping to keep
the young: young, and make us
older fellows forget our rheuma
tism. Student.
Bigger and Better.
Something seems to be rotten in
Denmark. Note the following con
ditions that apply to the present
summer session:
Bigger and better: Enrollment,
courses, instruction, instructors,
library service, parking for profes
sors, teachers college.
Bad or worse: Crowded condi
tions in classroom and library,
class schedules, classroom seating,
clocks and bells, library sweatbox,
parking for students, recreation
facilities.
The above items balance in num
ber. Others might be added but
these are enough to show that
there are conditions that might be
remedied to make everything big
ger and better.
There is faulty administratis
somewhere. J- H.
"No Parking"
The two words "No Parking"
posted prominently about the uni
versity campus cause more critical
comment and bring more despair
to students' hearts than any other
two words in the English langu
age. Summer students are woithy of
some special parking privileges.
They nave given up much needed
vacations in order to attend this
session and when they have to
park three or even four blocks
away from their classes, much
time is wasted in walking that
might oe spent more profitably.
The drill field would make an
ideal parking place for summer
students. It is used for no other
purpose. The university officials
should ee that this space is made
available at once for summer stu
dents. The parking situation de
mands immediate attention.

The University Sweat Box
University students should be
well acclimated to tropical weather
after spending several weeks of
study in the university library, in
fact it is to be expected that many
will migrate to certain of the trop
ical countries immediately after
the summer session in an attempt
to maintain the environment that
has been theirs. Why not a cool
ing system cr at least electric fans
for the library?
Thousands of dollars are spent
annually during the winter
months to provide beat, nothing is
done to make for comfort during

the summer months. Summer reg
istration fees are higher per sub
ject hour than they are for the
regular term but yet we get no re
sponse to our inquiries relative to
this matter. Last summer a num
ber of petitions, signed by several
hundred students and faculty
members, were presented to the
"powers that be," thus far we have
heard nothing from the requests.
Why not keep in step with the
times, Nebraska? Make our uni
versity one that we may be proud
of in all respects, consider the
comfort of the summer school stu
dents, help create at least one of
the ideal learning situations that
we hear so much about in our
work. G. A, J.
Contagion Sweeps Country.
Doctors have been faced with a
serious problem in their effort to
determine the culture f rom which
the mother germ of a new conta
gion has taken such root All the
knowledge of medical science had
been called in to aid in the check
of the malady.
Dr. C. U. Later believes he has
segregated the original germ from
which the malady gained root In
his annual report to Order of
Moses Morons he has the follow
ing to say: 'In this day of minia
ture golf links, midget radios, and
Austin cars science has been baf
fled at the speed with which a new
malady has gained a foothold. Sci
ence has termed this new malady
Midget Mania, and for years have
sought to isolate the mother germ
cell.
I beg to submit the following as
the crowning climax of this most
successful study: On the campus
of the University of Nebraska we
find the mother germ in the form
of a structure known as Teachers
college. This building, intended to
house the administrative offices
and class rooms, will; scarcely fur
nish office rooms for the adminis
tration of its activities. The stu
dents are forced . to cross the
campus to other buildings for their
classes. This L as been the means
