Oscar Norling Executive Editor Jack Erickson... ..Editorial Assistant Bernard Jennings. .Business Assistant The Swimming Pool. Last semester several hundred students signed a petition that if the board of regents would sanc tion their plan for a swimming pool at the university, they would be willing to pay for the expense ef building the pool in the base ment of the coliseum. Interest in the plan was aroused oy staff members of The Daily Nebraskan who felt that swimming facilities bhould be provided on the campus. Jn the past swimming instruction was given in a downtown pool and the majority of students were not able to take advantage of that form of recreation. Under the plan as outlined by student leaders and univcisity authorities, all students will pay a nominal fee each semester which will entitle them to the rigtu of using the pool at any time, with exceptions, of course, being made for class periods. Those who were responsible for the constructive criticism and the suggesting of a workable plan whereby a swimming pool could be constructed immediately are to be praised. No tewailing of adminis tiative policies. No crie of "Why isn't this provided for me?" Instead a well-organized gioup of students went before a faculty committee and explained why they felt that Nebraska should have a swimming pool, suggested that they were sufficiently interested in the project to help finance it and showed that their suggestions met with the approval of the student body. Such u presentation im pressed the university officials, and last Friday afternoon the action was approved by the board of regents. Self-appointed critics of the uni versity and promoters of vaiious campus projects might be bene fited by a study of the methods Uhed by those back of the swim ming pool idea. The objection to many would be that in selling the idea of the swimming pool the "promoters" uid most of the work. We Might Suggest. Those who attend the special showing of "Ladies of the Jury" I y the University Players Wednes day evening at the Temple theater will sec one of the most popular comedies of recent product.ons. 'ibe play, which was written by Kied Ballard, Nebraska graduate, met the enthusiastic approval of the people of Lincoln and was con sidered one of the best produc tions given by the flayers last v. inter. Drama has been noticeably lack ing in summer session activities. Vvieie during the regular term fctudents have the series of Uni versity Players productions, Kos r.cf Kluo show, 'ihanksgiving Day levues and Dramatic Ciub presen tations, the summer student has iiothing but the downtown talkies. A number of outdoor plays were Liven a few hcasons ago, but the ;united time made it impossible to i.tiempt mucu along this line, it tne new plan oi special show ing which is Deing tried Wednes day evening is successful, drama will be an Important feature of iccreational programs during fu ture summer sessions. The event has been made cveD more worthwhile by the announce ment that proceed of the playj will be used to establish a scholar-t-hip fund for students in the dra i.;Atics department. All equipment, expenses and time of those taking part are being; donated to the new lund. Each summer, according to present plans, this fund will be increased by returns from other pi eductions. We are tempted to suggest that uch an undertaking hbould receive your hearty support. Cut that rounds as it you would be doing bomeone else a favor by attending the play tomorrow evening. On the other hand, all favors will be llowlng your way when the cur tain rises and you start in on a fuM evening of chuckles with occa sional (and v-?ry occasional) cut bursts of laughter.

Elimination of some of the work of the agricultural experiment sta- t ir.n It is hoped that these retrench ments will make up the defer ence in the maintenance appropri ation, totaling close to $200,000. To supply needed accommoda tions for women, the board ordered that the former Sigma Chi house, now owned by the University, be fitted up as a women's dormitory available for use next September. Architects were authorized to prepare plan for an addition to the nurses' home at the Medical College.

By using the small amount of money carried over from the past year, the Uni versity will develop the central mall of the University from Twelfth to Fourteenth Streets, al though the money available will not admit of paving, according to the chancellor.

Grummann, who has accepted a position as director of the Joslyn Memorial at Omaha, being ac cepted, the chancellor was author ized to look tor a suitable person to head the School of Fine Arts.

Later re ports from county extension agents over the state may make the total enrollment larger. The initial goal was set at 14,500 members and 16.000 projects. Twenty-eight counties in the state have equalled or exceeded their 1931 goals. Several other other counties are close to their goals and will probably exceed them by the middle of the month.

ISebraska Spuds Like Fat Ladies; Couldn't Keep Cool in June The recent hot weather has de layed but not entirely ruined the eastern and central Nebraska po tato crop, says H. O. Werner at the agricultural college. Letters and telephone calls indicate that backyard potato growers particu larly are worried over the condi tion that exists underground in their spud patches. Only one or two little potatoes can be found per hill, they tell Professor Werner. They think there is something the matter with the potatoes or the soil, maybe they planted the patch in the wrong time of the moon, or maybe the seed was no good. Werner explains the situation as follows: The potato is not a hot weather crop. When the tempera ture ppt.q nn around a hundred, the spud plant, like a fat lady, spends nil its time and enerrv keeping- cool. When the temperature at night stays up arouna iu w tu u it did for several nights recently. the potato plant has no chance to rest or get reaay ior me nexi scorching day. As a result no potatoes devel oped in the back yards, or out in the commercial potato fields either during the last hot days of June. Weather like that provided by the weather man tne ween ena oi juiy 4 was favorable for potato growth, Wcnipr savs. Vines that were not burned during the hot spell will go right ahead prooucing potatoes, ne believes. Nothinc can be done for the po tatoes during a hot period. Cutting off part of the tops does more harm than eood. experimental tests have shown. No amount of water in the soil will make the po tatop.o crow, altho a plentiful sup ply of moisture will of course help keep tne tops anne aunng ex trpmelv hot weather. Irrigation of dry soil during cool weather will increase the potato yield. h SHORTHAND 4 In 30 Days Written with ABC. Individual nitruction. All butlneti ub ect. Day and night school. Enroll any day.
