iot the
I'sual Thine.
The editor's chair is being oc
cupied by a different person this
week. Explanation of this phe
nomenon is given on the front
page of this paper. It may conse
quently be expected, therefore,
that the general tone of the paper
will change slightly probably fori
the worse. For your benefit the
new chronicler will attempt to
put his views on paper.
Editoiiiils: Unless something
I-;,itieularly cut of the ordinary
Li ing s such an act about, there
will bo no editoiials in the suiet
sense of the word. It is too hot to
pour over any intellectual studies
of things as they are, and, in
vidcntaHy, (only incidentally, mind
you), it is also too hot to write
tium. For timely and spirited
analyses of such topics as the
world economic conference, eco
nomic recovery, and political
patronage in Nebraska the Omaha
and Lincoln papers are recom
mended. And as for educational
trends, new academic theoiies, and
that host of imposing problems
which education everywhere must
face, the Nebraskan is firm in the
belief that faculty members will
discuss those matters in a man
ner befitting their importance. Of
course, there will be an editorial
column, but it will be light read
ing and perhaps a trifle flippant.
News: The Summer Nebiaskan
will continue to list all important
campus events including special
lectures, official bulletins, and re
creation information. Yet it hopes
to deal more in "personals" for the
summer campus is a community
small enough to merit such news.
Likewise there will be more fea
ture material about people, places,
and things on the campus. Be
causes the copy in the average
newspaper is far too impersonal in
its treatment a symbol so to
speak of our mechanized and stan
dardized age the Nebraskan will
attempt a more intimate style. If
you are reminded of the small
town weekly upon reading it we
shall be delighted. Yet we shall be
glad to publish any written criti
cisms of our methods in the stu
dent pulse columns so please com
plain if the tactic distress you.
The action of the N. E. A. in
threatening to transfer its conven
tion scene from Chicago to Mil
waukee because of the former's
failure to remunerate its thousands
c.f public school teachers was an
admirable thrust. It is time Chi
cago realized that public opinion
if: being crystallized against it be
cause of such civic indifference.
New Yoik City, so the daily press
indicates, appears to be heading in
the same direction. The No. 1
metropolis of the world will do well
to remedy matters before it is too
late. And speaking of Chicago '.he
Nation, issue of June 28, has a ie
lit htfully ironic article on "The
Century of Progress" under the
heading: "Chicago: Two Exhibits."
It is well worth reading.
Some former Nebraskans, in
cluding Secretary Crabtree of the
National Education association,
come in for a bit of roasting in
the July issue of the American
Mercury. Mr. II. E. Bucholtz, pub
lisher of educational periodicals in
Baltimore, feels that all is not as
it should be within the N. E. A.
Whether or not you may agree
with him you might find it re
freshing to get his point of view.
Most of you will doubtless be
leaving the city to celebrate the
Fourth at your respective homes.
The Nebraskan wishes you a
happy interim and casually drops
a warning to the effect that it is
indiscreet to let giant fire-crackers
go off in your hand. And with that
we leave you until next week
next Thursday, to be precise.
BOOK REVIEW
For The Week.
UNION SQUARE, by Albert
Halper, Viking Tress, M33.
When a novelist attempts to '"de
pict life in a large city, with ail of
its individual dramas of human
beings struggling for a livinood
and a little happiness, he is not
being original, nor is there any as
surance that his work will deserve
literary merit.
However, when a writer turns
cut as fine a piece of writing as
Albert Halper did in his "Union
Square," there is a strong prob
abili'y that the literary value of
his work will be recognized. In
fact, Mr. Halpei's novel deserves
being classed among the outsand
ing works of the yer.
The publication of "Union
Square" marks Halper's debut in
the field of the novel, altho he has
had numerous short-stories pub
lished in literary magazines during
the past few years. Some of his
work has appeared in the Prairie
Schooner, the University of Ne
braska's literry publication.
The subject matter of "Union
Square" :s not new, nor are the
ideas that are expressed thru the
novel new. It is in the excellence
of the writing and the writer's
sense of drama that the quality of
the work is manifest.
As the title might indicate, the
story deals with the lives of sev
eral characters who live in a single
neighborhood. The lives of no less
than seventeen people are vividly
painted by the novelist on this
sordid back, and yet each char
acterization is complete and
and graphic.
Much of the story is concerned
with the activities of a group of
communists, altho they are
brought in only as one phase in the
life of the community. There is
no one character clearly defined
as the principal character in the
novel, yet more of the story seems
to center around a young artist,
who is active in the communist
party, than any other.
Among the other characters,
who play a part in the absorbing
drama of this neighborhood, are
an ex-poet who writes for sex
story magazines, a demented
printer, a business man and his
mistress, a blonde communist and
her Mexican companion, the po
liecman on the beat nd numerous
other inhabitants of the district.
The plot of -the novel does not
accomplish a great deal. That is,
the situation at the conclusion of
the novel is not a great deal dif
ferent than at the gtbinning, altho
the characters arc involved in
many dramatic experiences.
The novel proves quite absorb
ing, as the writer skillfully paints
his picture, leaving the reader to
interpret as he will.

could get In touch with his par
ents but he made a quiet exit,
journeyed to a department store
and annexed two boxes of 22-bore
cartridges. Now authorities are
hunting for him again. That is the
story of the 16 year old runaway.
When students read the notice
of "fake magazine solicitors" in
the Nebraskan last week they de
cided to quit buying. When the
solicitors read it they decided to
leave town. Officer Rcgler reports
a sequel, however. A woman stu
dent approached him Wednesday
with a dun for $5.00 in her hand.
The dun was from one of the
magazine companies to whose
journal she had subscribed, sup
posedly for three years upon pay
ment of only $2.00 for postage,
said sum having been given to a
solicitor last week. Rcgler advised
her to get in touch with Miss
Amanda Hoppner, dean of women,
and see if a refund couldn't be
arranged. He reports that not a
solicitor has been seen since the
Nebraskan came out last Friday.
And that is the story of the
past week's campus police news.
