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.

now owned by the University, be

not admit of paving, according to
the chancellor.

ing tn T. Frisbie. state club
leader. The 1931 club enrollment

records for Nebraska. 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.
Of the total enrooled. 16.024 pro
jects are being carried in agent
counties while the remaining pro
jects are carried in non-agent
counties.
Counties which have exceeded
their goal as set last spring include

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.
