For the Students.
"THK Columbia Spectatoi last tall
raised a rumpus over the
charges it mail? that football play
ns were being subsidized by the
university. As a result ot these
charges a committee was ap
pointed to investigate the situa
tion. The committee has just j f we can't arouse the campus

dents who desire to get physical
education on their own initiative.
yI" aiv not advocating that the
university buy up a lot oi lanu
for use by students, or that a lot
of equipment be purchased. Ob
viously that is impossible. But it
is not impossible that the facilities
now available should be made
more generally useful to students
not members of athletic teams or
those takine nhvsical education
courses.
When the basketball team is
practicing in the coliseum, it
sepTiis harrilv necessarv that no

other students can use basketballs
to play on the other courts. When
the tennis courts are open, it seems
hardly necessary that the coeds
should monopolize them for their
foolish antics which can hardly
be called tennis. When the swim
ming pool is built by student fees,
it hardly seems just that the men's
and women's physical education
departments should use most of
the time to conduct their classes
and then refuse to heed the stu
dents' pleas that what little time
is left be used for swimming by
men and women students at the
same time.
A little money from the athletic
department might well be diverted
to opening tennis courts for the
I use of all students. A little more
J money might be used to put in
: stock some swimming suits for
men so that the pool could be used
by men and women at the same
. time.
j The lettermen and the physical
! education depaitments have a
; right to use Nebraska's athletic
facilities but not to monopolize
them.
inecure jobs, or scholarships.
But tho finding the athletic sit
uation technically above reproach
Ihe committee pointed out a num
ber of conditions which it consid
ns unhealthy. These conditions it
finds are partly a result of the
overemphasis placed upon athlet
ics of the spectacular nature as
compared with athletics for the
students as a whole. The criti
cisms drawn are valuable because
they apply not only to Columbia
university but to nearly every uni
versity in the country including
Nebraska.
"The facilities for healthful out
door exercise are not only insuf
licient for the entire university
body, but are inadequate even for
the undergraduate body of 1,800
students in Columbia college," the
leport says. More practice fields,
a new gymnasium, development
and use of equipment for the
benefit of more than just the ex
pcit players was recommended by
the committee.
.
T Nebraska the situation is
similar, even worse. What
meagre facilities art available are
ued almost exehi.-ively by ath
letic teams or by ( lasses in physi
cal education. The stadium is im
piactical for use by anyone ex
cept the football team and the
tiack team. The- coliseum is quite
largely used by the athletic teams;
and the classes in physical educa
tion. The swimming pool is fairly
well monopolized by classes. The
other "straw" ballot might be
sponsored by the Nebraskan. Any
how we know of one vigorous
negative vote for the skypieces.
A Deadline
That Is a Deadline.
"T"HE Nebraskan likes to poke fun
at the Cornhusker for its nu
merous and ever receding dead
lines. But this Jime the deadline
cannot be extended. When the
Cornhusker sales close sometime
in the near future they will really
close.
Always there are a few students
who wail loudly around the Corn
husker office in the spring when
the books are distributed, trying
to get a copy somehow or other.
The Cornhusker has to figure
closely in order to make expenses.
Every book that isn't sold is just
so much loss. It is theiefore im
possible for them to print extra
copies beyond the number actually
sold. Students should not expect
them to do so.
As for the value of the book,
that is an individual matter of de
cision. But when the books are
distributed in the spiing, we'll bet
our copy of the Cornhusker
against somebody else's desire for
one, that the value of the look
will jump about 80 pcicent in the
minds ol a lot of students who
don't haw them.
This is not a sales talk lot the
Cornhusker, but it is a len.indcr

But the facilities for students who j JM:BKASKA completed its hi.
like to play when and how they
desire are practically nil. And
.Mich as they are they are monopol
ized by the teams and the classes.
The Nebraskan is vigorously op
posed to compulsory physical edu
cation. But it does believe that
provision should be made where at
!1 p'v.'riIe to accommodate stu-
ketball season Satuiday night
without a very impressive record
so far as games won are con
cerned. Naturally it would have
been fine if the team could have
won the Big Six championship, but
it is doubtfui if the games played at
home, partcularly durng the lat
ter half of the season could have
been much more enjoyable than
they were.
The team improved consistently
thruout the season. The players
set a good example to the specta
tors, who haven't been very apt
pupils, of how to keep cool and
unemotional in the face of discour
aging breaks. The games were
fairly close and always exciting.
There is little more than can or
should be asked of an athletic
team.
There is a motto carved on the
front of the Nebraska stadium
which includes something to the
effect that it is not the victory but
the game that counts. That is sup
posed to be the ideal of athletic
contests. We hopo it is.
The most surprising thing about
the Boettcher kidnaping case was
the fact that the family still had
$60,000 to pay as ransom. If the
police of the country can't prevent
kidnaping, maybe the bank mora
torium will.
