Big Six Unity.
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

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.

The statistics gathered from these

Even the men were indefinite

FINANCIAL DISTRESS

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."

Ten prominent persons were In

but met with approval by three
others. Those expressing cliem
selves as opposed to the sugges

of women, an economist, a sociolo-p-lst.
a teachers' college representa

approved by the arts college dean,
a philosopher, and the editor of
the Nebraskan. The dean of men
declined to take sides.

that there were not more than ten

'college' part should not be con
sidered and that it in a question of
the mental age of the people.
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."
