lion- Much Could
You Save on Board?
IT is safe' to say that the univer
sity is going to find it increas
ingly necessary to provide ways ot
helping students to finance their
way thru school at lower cost than
they are paying even now. A step
in this direction was taken Satur
day by the Board of Regents when
fl approved a plan to set up a sys
tem whereby students may eat all
their meals on the
Ao-ricnltural i
College campus for three dollars j
R week
The system requires that the !
students do some work in nrcnar- !
ing and serving the food, thus
eliminating service charges, aside
Horn cooking, and making possi
ble the reduced cost. While the
plan obviously canaot be expected
to provide for latge numbers, in
view of the limitations of space
and equipment, it should prove a
real opportunity to the students
who are at present on the fringe
of starvation because of inade
quate resources
The plan apparently was not
deemed feasible for use on the
downtown campus. The regents
announced that the Temple cafe
teria would be closed at the end
of the present school year. The
Temple cafeteria for some reason
has been unable to compete with
other eating establishments near
the campus. Its loss of patronage
necessitates its closing.
The very fact, however, that the
Temple cafeteria is not serving a
large patronage would seem to
make the place a suitable one in
which to introduce a system like
that adopted on the Agricultural
college campus. It would seem
that if there is a necessity for
some such arrangement, that
downtown campus students by
making known their needs could
leceive similar help.
The Temple cafeteria has all the
necessary equipment for serving
meals to a relatively large number
ot people. Why should this equip
ment not be used to the best ad
vantage? It would seem that the
Temple cafeteria provides ideal op
poitunity for the establishment of
a cooperative student eating club.
Marriage or
A Social Career?
QTUDENTS at other schools
often regard open-mouthed the
ideas of social life which are tra
ditional at Nebraska university. A
part j' 'at many universities means
an opportunity to really mix so
c ially with other students. A party
at Nebraska university means an
opportunity to spend the entire
evening with one's date, confining
whatever social contact there be
to an exchange of "hello's" witti
other couples.
For the fellows or girls who are
seriously interested in each other,
mi for the fellow or girl who has
a particularly good "date" such a
.-vstem is no doubt a boon. The
contraiy is true of the unfortunate
THE DAILY NEBRASKA
individuals who have uncongenial
partners. ' ' :'
From the point of view of pro
viding opportunity for ' increasing
acquaintanceships arid laying the
basis for new friendships, the Ne
braska system is , a , dead failure.
Because of the Nebraska system,
blind dates are more prevalent
than they otherwise would need to
be. Students have few opportuni
ties to meet each other in a social
way, so they arrange to get a date
with someone they have never
seen or known anything about.
The results are sometimes funny
but more often embarrassing.
The one-male, one woman system
has its advantages, too. There are
no obligations to dance with the
fraternity brother's heavyweight
fiancee, or the boy friend's homely
brother or cousin. The fellow runs
no risks of trading dances with
someone who brought a girl a cou
ple of heads taller than he; Ihe
girl is in no danger of having to
struggle around the floor with
someone who can't keep olf her
feet.
Furthermore, the system of pro
gram dances al'some of Nebras
ka's crowded parties' would be
hard to work out because of the
difficulties in finding people in the
jam. (This difficulty would fre
quently serve as a convenient ex
cuse to dodge an unwelcome part
ner, no doubt.) Or the plan might
be made to work by asking people
to assemble themselves under let
ters corresponding to the initials
of their last names.
But at any rate the Mortar

TVFRY issue of the Daily Ne-
braskan carries the line, under
the name-plate at the top of page
one: "Official Student Newspaper
of the University of Nebraska."
That line is intended to mean that
the paper is representative of the
entire university students, facul
ty members, and administrators.
But the staff that produces the
paper is a relatively small group.
In no sense of the word can they
hope to manufacture a representa
tive product without fullest coop
eration from everyone on the cam
pus. To make the Nebraskan the
truly "official student newspaper"
requires more than the efforts of
the small staff.
In most cases, campus coopera
tion does not need to h;; sought.
Realizing that the NeLraskan is
the only medium of expression to
reach every stratum of the cam
pus world, organizations and indi
viduals with something to say turn
invariably to the Nebraskan. Of
late, however, almost the sole de
sire has been to advertise personal
and group activities. Publicity has
evidently superceded all other
kinds of expression.
As a result, the editors have had
little opportunity of discovering
what and campus really thinks. It
has sometimes, in fact, been diffi
cult to escape the conclusion that
students do not think at all. Such
a sweeping statement should not
be possible, on a campus where the
resident students number into the
thousands, but if those residents
are too imbued with apathy to ex
press their beliefs and opinions,
the editors have no way of discov
ering what those beliefs are.
A LL this is by way of prpara-
tory justification for a plea
, . . a plea that should produce im
mediate results. For be it known
that for some days the editorial
mailbox has been most dament
ably empty. To remedy this situ
ation, which is certainly not con
ducive to adequate editorial ex
pression, we urge anyone and
everyone to take advantage of the
opportunity that mailbox offers of
giving voice to "gripes ', sugges- (
tions, or any other form -ot com
ment. i I :
The dearth of fodder for the
Student Pulse column certainly
cannot mean that , nothing is
wrohg with the university. In
every class, every day, situations
arise which arc productive of dis
approbation. ' On and off the cam
pus discussions frequently center
about desired reforms. The Ne
braskan does not promise that it
can do -something about all of the
things called unsatisfactory. In
some cases, perhaps, it will be able
to explain why action may be im
possible or undesirable.
But in any and all cases, the edi
tors will be able to do their work
more adequately, for they will
kno what thwe campus thinks.

A TWO DAY PARLEY

Discuss Present System.
The general topic for the con
ference is "Is the Modern Eco

theme will be divided into four
questions for debate: "Is our pres
ent economic system responsible

ness depression;" "Does our pres
ent economic system foster vicious
alliance between big business and
government;" "Is our present eco
nomic system conductive to inter
national conflict," and "Is our
present economic system ineom
petible with the highest develop
ment of human personality."
Each side of these topics will
be debated by two representatives
from a college. At the closing

alternative plans for our present
system will be suggested. All con
ference meetings will be held in
Ellen Smith hall.
Will Charge Fee.
Registration for local students
is 25 cents for the entire confer
