AN enlightening proposal ema nating from student govern ing bodies at the University of Ikansas was brought forward at Student Council meeting Wednes day, when a measure asking for co-operation between Big Six schools was brought forth. The Kansas proposal set forth the fol lowing three major points: 1. A special game admission rate of fifty cents for visiting students upon presentation of athletic tickets from their re spective schools. 2. Co-operative action to se cure special rates and special trains to out-of-town games within the Big Six. 3. Student information of fices where visiting students may register and secure hous ing accommodations at frater nities and sororities on the campuses they visit. The proposal, :vhich is to be hcted upon by student governing groups and athletic boards at each Big Six school, appears at once as a beneficial project. It should toring a spirit of harmony into the Big Six which should place this onference as a significant unit in the eyes of sectional university associations the country over. The big snag, undoubtedly, will be the first point in the measure. Athletic boards in the various Big Six schools will be extremely hesi tant about granting the fifty cent rate. But what of the logic of the matter? Football, after all. should be conducted primarily in the in terests of the students. When it ceases to have that aim it loses its justification for student support. It leaves the realm of collegiate athletics and becomes representa tive of that trite term of derision, "big business." Fogg Allen, athletic director at the University of Kansas, has ap proved all features of the plan, in cluding the price. From his stand point, at least, It appears that the fifty cent price can be granted Personnel Management Class Finds Adventure in Unemployment Survey The class in personnel manage ment under C. O. Swayzee has met with situations that would be meat for a comedy fiction writer on its personnel observation tours in the university unemployment survey conducted by the economics department. Those assigned to the negro and Mexican district walked into open bootleg parlors ou several occa sions where the unemployed were spending their leisure time in hi larious gaiety or drunken stupor. Many of the men, when asked l.ow they earned their livelihood, very promptly gave as their occupation bootlegger." Many Reveal Gossip. Women, secure in the belief that their confidences would not be be tmved unburdened to the sympa thetic ear of the student surveyor without cutting Into the football receipts so greatly as to make the game financially anemic. It is now up to other athletic boards, including Nebraska's, to follow suit. If the project can be accomp lished it will be made possible for most students in every Big Six school to attend out-of-town games. As things stand now it is only the financially more fortun ate who arc able to enjoy this treat. If railroads can be assured of a large student migration on the event of out-of-town games it may be assumed that special trains with lower rates will be available. And if students may be assured of a fifty cent ticket price it may also be assumed that there will be a large student migration. The third point of the program -that of securing housing accom modations for visiting students will undoubtedly go through. The student viewpoint will see to that and thereby is another sizeable reduction on the expense budget of an out-of-town trip. In retrospect of the plan, In the light of assumptions which are certainly not too Utopij , it seems fair to say that here In t measure which should go throu I. It suc cess requires only tv things complete student backilg in each school and consequent ee-operation of the respective athletic hoards. The students, through their council, have acted. They wait upon the athletic board. Convocation Subjects. TYPICAL, of convocation pro reborn a nrocor tH fnr student I (111'? enlightenment is the announced subject "The Gold Standard and Its Breakdown," a lecture sched uled to be delivered by Alfred W. Flux, assistant secretary of the statistical department of the Brit ish Board of Trade. The purpose of such a program is undoubtedly laudable, in the ab stract. The argument for the af firmative will point out that here is a man well-qualified to analyze a subject of great importance to the world, and students should be grateful for the opportunity to add to their information about such an important subject. Perhaps students should be grateful for such an opportunity, and some undoubtedly will be, but the number will be small. For the undergraduate school does not ex ist in which concern for educa tional opportunities is paramount in the student mind. It is unfor tunate, but true. Such being the case, would it not then be better if convocation programs were designed toward the end of really catching student interest? Put on such a basis, convocations would more nearly justify their existence as "all-university" affairs, and it is safe to predict they would be of greater educational value. If this is impossible, we must then live in hope of the time when a larger portion of the collegiate population will come to appreciate the heavier type of subject which now adorns the average convoca tion program. their domestic trials and neigh borly squabbles and imported the juicy bits of gossip and scandal. The statistics gathered from these visits showed the women to De con siderably more reticent to disclose their age than were the men, many of them flatly refusing. Even the men were indefinite about it; the majority seemed to concentrate on numbers ending in zero and five. This was also true of the answers concerning the du ration of former employment. Hospitality was marked in the Russian quarter; the absence of weekly sheckles did not prevent the housewives from giving their information over a cup of hot tea. Interspersed with the comedy ele ment, real need and everyday trag edy , was apparent , to the investi L gators. FINANCIAL DISTRESS ENDANGERS SCHOOLS, EDUCATOR DECLARES Wisconsin Leader Warns Against Use of Bogus Economy, A sword that hangs over educa tion throughout the nation, com posed of "imperative retrenchment forged in the fires of an irrational depression," constitutes a sign of the real peril that confronts all of the social and cultural enterprises of our common life in this phase of profound economic depression through which we and the world are passing, Dr. Glenn Frank, president of the University of Wis consin, warned thousands of Wis consin teachers attending the an nual conference of the state teach ers' associniion recently. That economy, drastic beyond anything we have been accustomed to think, is imperative in the con duct of local, state, and national affairs "no intelligent man will question", Dr. YanK asseriea, ex nlaininr that since 1929 our in come has gone steadily down and our outgo has gone sieaany up. Pointing out Cr&t in 1928, about 11 nprcent of the national income went into taxes to carry the enter prises and obligations ot govern ment, while in 1932. it is estimated that 33 percent of the national in come will go into laxes, ne ex plained that this seemingly large increase in the tax draft on na tional income is due more to the large decrease in national income than to any increase in taxes. Need Real Economy. Assorting that real economy may mean national salvation, but that hocus economy mav mean na tional suicide, President Frank asked the teachers to remember that "we could dismantle every federal bureau and stop every civil function of tne national govern ment, with the four exceptions of construction, relief, loans for ship building, and the federal farm board, and still reduce rne ieaerai budget by only 8 percent. On the other hand, he explained that three-fourths of the total expendi tures or tne ieaerai government go to pay the costs of our current military establishment and to carry the obligations incurred in past wars. Fear Bogus Economy. "The more deeply we analyze the problem of public expenditures, the clearer it becomes that it simply is not the scientific, social, and educational services of the na tion that are bending the Ameri can back," he maintained. "And yet, throughout the nation, we are trying to balance budgets Dy cut ting the very heart out o' the only things that make government a creative social agency. "We slash scientific bureaus. We drastically shrink our support of social services. We hamstring our regulatory agencies. We fire vis iting nurses. We starve libraries. We reduce hospital staffs. We squeeze education. And we call this economy. And actually think we are intelligent in calling it that. How the gods must be laughing at us! And how our grandchildren will damn us! States Commit Sin. "State governments throughout the nation are committing the same blind sin," he continued. "In our states we lay the ax at the foot of the tree of all the civiliz ing agencies evolved during the last half century and at the same time blandly tolerate the multitude of unnecessary and criminally wasteful forms of local govern ment, which essential and un avoidable in the days of bottom less mud roads and the one-horse buggy days are Indefensible in this day of good roads, automobiles, telephones, and radio."

Students, Faculty Members Disagree On Suggestion of College Marriages The recent advocacy of college marriages on a companionship basis by Judge Ben Wndsey was brought to significance on the Ne braska campus Sunday when the Omaha World-Herald correspond ent asked prominent persons their opinion of the suggestion. Judge Lindsey advises young people to marry while still In college be cause he believes this creates emo tional stability. Ten prominent persons were In terviewed, and Judge Lindsey's Idea was shunned by six persons but met with approval by three others. Those expressing cliem selves as opposed to the sugges tion are the chancellor, the dean of women, an economist, a sociolo-p-lst. a teachers' college representa tive, and a coed. The views were approved by the arts college dean, a philosopher, and the editor of the Nebraskan. The dean of men declined to take sides. Dean Amanda Heppner stated that there were not more than ten married couples attending under graduate classes and Danneo me idea as "foolish." Chancellor E. A Riirnptt. ree-arded the Idea as unsound because of financial rea sons and consequent marital troubles. Oldfather Favors Idea. Dean C. H. Oldfather. in opposi tion to the others, favors college marriages. He believes that the OHIO STATE BANS PAKT1ES WITHOUT STUDENT BACKING AH-eammis dances at Ohio State will not be permitted this year un less guaranteed against a loss by a sufficient number of students, a statement by the auditor of stu dent organizations revealed. The edict was issued as a result of financial failures of dances ast year. Seven of the affairs showed deficits ranging from $20 to $525. One dance broke even and eleven showed profits of $1 to $1,200. Phi Lambda Upsilon to Hoar Prof os or Marvin Prof. E. H.

Judge L ndsey's suggestion was termed "distinctly hostile" by Prof. G. O. Virtue, chairman of the de partment of economics. "It seems a safe rule that marriage should be deferred until one has passed the period of infancy and has be come at least self-supporting," he said. "School Is - place of prepara tion of a man or woman can't do his best work in school when he or she has family responsibilities," R. D. Moritz, director of the teach ers' college place ent bureau, said in opposing the Idea. Dean T. J. Thompson would not make any statement. Dr. E. L. Hinman of the philoso phy department believed the idea acceptable and viewed it's success as dependent upon the Individual's character. He indicated that delay in marriage in modern society is sometimes unfortunate. Dr. J. O. Hertzler hailed the Idea : as with out just basis and depending too much on the sex urge. The editor of the Nebraskan, Howard Allaway, and Margaret Upson, president of the Mortar Board, disagreed ipon the sugges tion, the former favoring Lind sey's idea and Miss Upson reject ing it as only right "in some cases." be kept secret until the time of her presentation in an elaborate ceremony at the fall revue.
