TIE news story In Sunday's Dally Nebraskan which Hated the editor as among: the committee members for the Htudent republican club wa In error In this particular. The editor of tho Dally Nebraskan la affiliated In no way with either tho republican or dftnotiatlc student org animation uu tho campus. While thanking- those who offer him the doubtful honor of helping re-eloct President Hoover, he declines the appointment. The Dally Nebraskan welcomes the formation of these clubs as Indicative of an awakening- Interest among tho students in governmental affairs which are of vital importance this year. Tho Nebraskan will publish all newsworthy activities of both organ izations and its Student Pulse department is open to letters of comment from members of each. lOvcry effort to encourage students to take interest in poll tics and current affairs will be made. The Nebraskan does not, however, wlHh to be hampered in any stand it may take between now and election time by loyalty to any i.r. i-,-n body. The working out of events this presldentu.1 v "' has presented two men as candidates for th h ia;it office In this land who, the Nebraskan think.', not the strongest men of their respective par:.c -. This is unfortunate but probably inevitable under the present era of machine politics. Nevertheless, the situation being what It is, cither Herbert Hoover or Franklin D. Roosevelt will be the next president. No other candidate has Al Smith's chance at a Methodist bishopric of being elected. If the campaign takes the prominent place In student Interest which the Nebraskan hopes it will, it may become desirable to make a choice be tween, M it looks to us now, the "lessor of two evils." The purpose of the campaign is, moreover, to provide grounds for an intelligent decision. To make that decision now, when the real fight is just opening up, would lay us open to the charge of in consistency should later campaign developments convince us that the other man is the more capable of discharging the duties of that high office. PENNY BACKS HOOVER Lincoln Journal headline. We'll lay our nickel on Roosevelt just to make things even. Students On the Block. pHARGING that north central colleges were so eager for students as to employ tactics amount ing to open subsidization, Dr. W. L. Boe. president of St. Olaf college at Northfield, Minn., deplores the condition, which he terms "bidding:" for students. Jobs, scholarships and loans arc offered as induce ments in the drives for students, the college presi dent declares, and athletes are not the only fish for which the nets are baited. Parents offer their chil dren to the highest bidder, he says. To students at Nebraska the situation as out lined by Dr. Boe seems the height of improbability. That the desire of a college to get students should be so great as to make such means necessary seems a little absurd, viewed in the light of the r'.ways overcrowded conditions at state university. There is, of course, no excuse sufficient to jus tify the employment of such tactics in attempting to influence a student to attend a certain institution. Subsidization is an ugly word, as any coach or ath letic director, even in the comparatively pure Big Six conference, will recall. But when subsidization is extended to mean the perfidious swaying of all types of students, then the condition would seem to justify ruthless investigation. If Dr. Coe's allegations are true, north central ro!!gs have been guilty as no other schools in this district have. They should 'x complimented, how ever, on having Jobs to offer new students. Here at Nebraska it is a struggle to provide for those students already litre, without soliciting others willi job promises. Political equation for mathematics students: All the good points of each candidate as proclaimed by his own party plus all he is said to be by his oppo nents equals zero. And maybe that's not far wrong. Why The. Arts College? PUBLICATION of a volume report on Wisconsin's famed experimental college by Dr. Alexander Melklejohn himself brings once more to the fore the controversy which waged in academic circles around this radiccl departure from accepted educational methods. It makes pertinent an old question: Just wha; to, or should be, the purpose and method of education ? Putting it more specifically: What should be the aim of the liberal arts college? The fundamental difference in purpose which differentiates the lib eral arts college from the training schools which make up the rest of the university family must be recognized. For the latter, their object is plain. They are teaching a trade although they prefer, usually, to call it a profession. Their purpose is to Impart a trade knowledge, to fit the student to. do a specific job and make a living at it. How about the liberal arts college? Just what it Is supposed to accomplish is not so distinctly de fined for it. It prepares its students for no specific trade. Its purpose is not to teach them how to niako money. Dr. Melklejohn begun his experiment with the conception that the purpose of education Is the encouragement of tho assumption of Intellectual re sponslblllty and the development of Intelligence, the function of which Is tho "service of man in tho cre ation of and maintenance of a social order, a scheme of individual and group living, which will meet the human demands for beauty, strength, Jus tire, generosity. He started out to find a more efficient menns tbnn now used to accomplish this. Dr. Melklejohn and his associates were given en tire liberty to work as they saw fit. They chose to make the course one of two years' length, allowing tho student to take his third year aa a Junior In the university proper. The group students and in nil U( tors - was small. Regular classes were never considered, Kaeh student worked independently, consulting at least weekly with an advisor. Instead of dividing tho day Into periods given to widely divergent subjects, the entire time was spent studying one subject: In tho first year, the civiliza tion of old Athens; in the second, the llfs of modern America. One by one, various phases of the life of each counliy were Investigated by tho student. Hclence, politics, wealth and poverty these and other phases had successive attention. In the first year one dominant question ran through the study: In the llfjht of your knowledge of America, what do you think of this sldo of Athenian life we are now studying? In the second year the question became thlii: Hawed on your knowledge of Athens, what do you think of what we nre now observing on the American scene? Hut the means Dr. Melklejohn used are not as Important hs the fact that he had a clear conception of what a liberal arts education should accomplish and a conviction that present methods do not fully accomplish this objective. Whether he found a bet ter method remains a question on which scndemlc minds divide. J10UKASKAS college of arts and sciences this 1 year has a new dean. Dr. Oldfather, too, has his ideas on bow the arts college may better fill the position to which modern specialized education has relegated It. Dr. Melklejohn's experiment was a revolutionary curriculum change. Dr. Oldfather, by his own statement, doesn't put much faith in curriculum changes. Anyway, he doe not feel, "that the uni versity has any amount of money to spend experi menting. We will watch what others do and utilize what we find worth while. We'll let schools like Chicago, Wisconsin and Minnesota do the experi menting." Hut Dr. Oldfather, we think, has just as clear a conception of the objectives of a liberal arts educa tion as has Dr. Melklejohn. Using the accepted term, "cultural education," he summarizes the view of this object as outlined by Wisconsin's experi menter as the object of his search In the experi mental college. Dr. Oldfather does not think the way to accom plish this is to change the titles of the courses. (We recognize that the Melklejohn experiment was more than this, but Nebraska does not have the money to make any such drastic change.) He places his faith In teachers believing that "if a teacher sees the wider aspect of things, regardless of the courses ho teaches, he can help to give the student a cul tural education. " - And, after all, this Is really the educator's oppor tunityto communicate to the student an intel lectual excitement which will stimulate him to make his own observations and come to his own conclusions. This is the place of the arts college as compared to the training schools.

The former president of tho Carnegie Founda tion asks his roaders to "think u't.A not of money a Harvard- Yale liuiae race would take in!" The Idea has a strong appeal. It would popularize the courses of iihin and animal hus bandry in colleges which havo them now, and force their addition to the curricula of others. Every college worthy of the name would have a bre-1lng farm in Kentucky or Virginia. The study of racing form would be a major require ment: no student would be allowed tn o-raitoate who could not trace the bloodlines of tho kings and queens of the turr. me girt or me class of '03 for the thirtioth re nninn would be a foal out of Day light Saving by Man o' War.

ONE of the most clearly distinguishable trends in American life since the turn of the last century has been the intellectual growing up of the west. The great belt between the Appalachians and the Rockies is no lontrer the backward American hinter land, home of the hick living in a main-street civili zation. Today the people of the midwest, measured in terms of anureciaUon of the better things or lire, rank with the best blue stockings of Boston and the intellectual elite of Greenwich Village. With the growing economic Importance of the midwest which accompanied the passing of the pio neer era, the nation's cultural center has gradually moved west. Today the west is dotted wun pumic libraries. Its neolc support civla orchestras and operas of the highest order. Its writers have their superiors no where. Its theaters produce tne same niv Broadwav sees. Its people read as good and as many books and serious periodicals as do thoe anywhere. Its journalism will Dear critical com parison with the practices of New York and Wash ington. A fundamental factor in this cultural advance has been the rise and recognition of the great state universities of the midcontlnent to first place among the educational Institutions of the country. The Ideals and hones on which these institutions were founded and their future Insured while this area was young arc bearing results today. In addition to pro viding the best of educational facilities to the sons and daughters of its citizens, these state universities provide the nucleus around which the cultural cen ters of the section have developed. A review of the local names in the 1932 edition of Who's Who in America in the Lincoln Sunday paper effectively illustrates the No. 1 position of the university in making Lincoln a midwest cultural center. Of 262 Nebraskans ipciuded on this national honor roll. Lincoln, with a population of about one third that of Omaha, claims 116 as against 101 for the metropolis. Of this 116. 53. or nearly half, are educators. Thirty-nine of these fifty-three nation ally known educators are members of the university faculty. Of the 12 new Lincoln who's whoers, not listed in 1931, six are Nebraska faculty members. Thinking Lesion. Dean McKnight of Columbia university, says a college should Impart "five alms" to every stu dent, namely, intellectual, social, aesthetic, physical and religious alms. These, says the dean are es sential for a balanced well round ad mpnii Now vou know on what to concentrate Fulton, Ford, Edison and Washington never did Know More important than naming five alms is the dean's statement: "Students must be taught to think Independently." Unless It teaches you to think, on your own account, education falls except as it Inculcate a cer tain routine of knowledge, uonsia orod necessary. There Is little "independent thinking," strictly speaking. Tho thinking depends on environment, circumstances, location ami mnu once in childhood. Arl Eskimo and a savage on the equator must think differently, a Thibetan llama, and a Baptist clergyman must think In totally different lines, occasionally a -.oy-ernlcus thinks independently, even ignoring the ovldence of his senses. But such as he can be counted on ten fingers. But we can and wo should piac tlco thinking, as wo practice ten nis, fencing or bookkeeping. Here is a simple thinking les son for your young son or daugh ter: "Which are the 12 most im portant inventions in human his tory? Why are they most Important?" Every child knows most all of them.

Third, cultivating plants and do mesticating animals, which made possible a settled fixed dwelling place, and end to constant migra tion, and the beginning of civiliza tion.

AWOWAN BEGINS A CAMPAIGN FOR GROUP SUPPORT (Continued from Page 1.) vinced that popular demand mer ited its reinstatement. Since that time, attempts have been made by the Awgwan to in corporate In its pages features de signed to make the magazine more and more desirable to the students. Each succeeding editor has kept bis ear to tne loudspeaker of cam pus opinion, and the magazine has shown a constant improvement. That improvement has been so marked that college publications of a similar type all over the covin try have been eager to make use of its material. The Awgwan has definitely won a place in the ranks of college humor magazines. Iii order to malntuia WvX hi position, the Awgwan solicits the complete support of the campus. Flans for this year a magazine ne cessitate that whole hearted sup port if the materials and format of the magazine are to show the continued improvement which it is the hope of the staff to maintain. There are two ways your organ ization cai help to make the Aw gwan America s finest humor magazine. Kirst, take advantage of the block subscription offer. A large, cam pus wide circulation is essential to the financial success of the publi cations, and without that assur ance of the financial stability, the magazine cannot hope to give Ne braska students as fine a magazine s they demand. Second, send members of your organization to the Awgwan of fice to assist in preparation of the magazine. Staff positions on both editorial and business departments are open and offer an excellent op portunity to enter a valuable cam pus activity. Tho speech of Josephus Daniels, former secretary of tne navy which was delivered hero Thurs day evening last was somewhat of a disappointment. By those devious methods Known so well to the lenders of the nation's press wo somehow gained tho impression thit here was a striking figure, an Important and Intellectual figure In the world of covcrnnient. We had somehow felt that tho unerr ing acumen of Woodrow Wilson could be trusted to select men of unusual sagaelty to cabinet posi tions. And with theso few precepts we betook ourselves to the meet ing. Josephus Daniels speech was en tirely political. Even from a poll lira! standpoint, which makes tho thing all the more lamentable, he lid poorly. His epigrams were quite ordinary and his paradoxes were far from Btartllng. What we am trying to say is that if you did not hear Sir Josephus you did not miss a great deal. How while we were there we noticed several faculty members In attendance, a few departmental chairmen and a number of others, most of whom seemed thoroughly to enjoy the sort of drive Daniels cast forth. To us It was most amazing for despite. Homewhat of a leaning toward Franklin Delano, (a leaning. Incidentally, which wo disregard to all Intentions In our column hero), w? could not help but feel that the best Mr. Daniels had to offer was a little humor and a very anemic type of humor at. that. Most of his breath was spent in scoring 'l.erhie and his overlord, AnJy Mellon, under whom three presidents have served, ns the speaker put ll. And at about every third pause the campaigner Inter posed with a little political story relating to "cnicKcns in pots, "cars In garages," "fishing at tho Hapldan ' and various related snu- Jects. It was a typical political speech, which prooaoiy must do excused on tho grounds that that Is tho only sort of talk that win keep a politician's audience from filing out while the evening is still yuns- ... . .i . We did hope mat we migm uo treated to a few pieces of ract which would cause us at least to speculate on the way of things but our hope was too greai. ue om give one little morsel, a reply to Cal Calidge's article, "The Repub lican Case, which was wen none, but it was somehow rather taste less as we had read it only a few days before in Walter Lippman's syndicated column. And we might nave smuea i his comment thnt Hoover in 1928 was "a very promising man" except that we had heard tne same iaKe off about two weeks before when Senator Core, of Oklnhoma, spoke at the state fair grounds. There was one paraphrase which was new to us probably because our attendance at political speeches has been limited and we shall give it to you herewith: "We asked Hoover ror iiirm re lief and he gave us the farm board. We asked him for bread and he gave us a Stone." Incidentally tne numor oi me above statement was apparent to more than five percent of the au dience only after he later explained that a man named Stone wns chairman of the farm board. We later considered it somehow a significant condemnation of his efforts, or if not a condemnation at least a lack of whole-hearted approval, that James Earnest Lawrence did not editorialize on his talk in the Lincoln Star. It usually takes but a little bit of powder to fire Mr. Lawrence into a fantasy on the ecstatic joy. of being a democrat or a tirade on the way those Ole Republicans have been treating us. Now think vou not for a mo ment that we are making light of Mr. Lawrence's efforts. We are not. We read his editorial column almost dailv because it is an ad dress to the intellect and even though it is usually an exposition of the glories of democracy it is the sort of exposition which one is glad to receive. Before we drop our comments on the subject let us say. as a measure of fairness, that possibly we caught Mr. Daniels in one of nis more emotional and less iuwi tactual moments. We do not doubt reallv. that he could deliver a really intelligent indictment of the Republican administration. And so we shall simply let ourselves oe lieve that he had to resort to a po litical modus operandi simply in order to appeal to the largest group of listeners. That is the trouble with demomracy, we think. And so we shall simply end up ny saving that we believe Mr. Daniels ike Mr. Hoover, could nave aone much better.
