fiichly Deserved
'Appreciation.
fHEN the summer Nebraskan
was instituted on the campus
in 1930 for the first time, a favor
ite plaint of the editor was to the
effect that no thought was taken
to make the rather drab life of a
nummer session student any less
drab. Such student came and went
thru the steamy atmosphere of the
typical Nebraska summer days
with his thoughts confined neces
sarily to his work in classroom
and library, , somew hat tedious,
you must admit.
Three summer sessions have
passed since then and we are
moved to comment on the marked
progress which has been made in
that short space of time toward
providing that element of recrea
tion whose absence the 1930 editor
the summer Nebraskan so
'sorely lamented. Starting from
scratch, as it were, the adminis
trators of the summer session
program have built up a recrea
tional program, not yet complete,
perhaps, but infinitely better than
what existed in 1930.
Little more need be said to you
wb have enjoyed the advantages
of this program. We call it to your
attention, but more particularly
we wish to specifically pay com
pliment to Prof. E. W. Lantz,
who has directed this recreational
program each summer with the
aid of a group of students who
give their time and effort to. ar
range affairs for the purpose of
flavoring slightly the tedium of a
summer session in Lincoln.
In brief this is what the student
executive committee has done this
year:
Sponsored six summer session
mixers which have drawn an av
erage attendance of between five
and six hundred persons.
Sponsored an all student pic
nic at Capitol Beach and an all
men's steak fry at Pioneer parte.
Sponsored the presentation of
a play by the University Play
ers, the proceeds from which go
to establish a loan fund for stu
dents registered in the dra
matics department.
Sponsored a varied sports
program for both men and
women, which Included tourna
ments t baseball, golf and
horseshoes.
The word sponsored covers a lot
t4 ground, however, for it means
.r at least has meant to the stu-tk-nt
executive committee the
I.andling of a great many details
and the expenditure of a consider
able amount of energy. Already
the student parties which have
proed so popular and which have
been so reasonable in price, have
built up a fairly sizeable fund
which the student executive com
inittee has tound necessary in tak
ing care of many expenses which

dent
The Nebraskan, on behalf of the
student body, congratulates the
committee on the fine piece of
work it has done and thanks the
members gratefully for the time
and energy they have spent.
Sot Grieving;
Just Citing Facts.
yJICHIGAN university, frequent
ly cited, by way of consolation,
as a major university whose fi
nancial condition and lowered
salary scale would be comparable
to the hard-hit condition of the
University of Nebraska is entirely
out of Nebraska university's class
so far as financial status is con
cerned. A recently published re
port following the action of the
Michigan board of regents reveals
that actually the Michigan school
is in clover compared to our own
institution.
But here is a comparison judge
for yourself.
1. Salary slashes of faculty
members at Michigan apply only
after a $1,500 exemption is
made. At Nebraska no exemp
tion is made for salary curtail
ments. 2. An 8 percent salary reduc
tion is to be applied on the first
$2,000 above the exempt $1,500
at Michigan, a 12 percent cut is
to be made on the second $2,000
above the exempt figure, a 15
percent cut on the next $2,000
and a 20 percent reduction on all
salaries paid over $7,500. At the
University of Nebraska no ex
emption from salary cuts is pro
vided for. All salaries, over
$1,500 will be slashed 22 percent
and salaries below that figure
will be cut to the cost of filling
the positions with new people.
3. No previous salary slashes
have been made at Michigan
university. Nebraska university
professors, receiving salaries in
excess of $1,000 have already
taken a. 10 percent cut on that
portion of their salaries over
$1,000.
x . Altogether sixty-six men
have been dropped from the
teaching staff of the Michigan
institution, which has a staff far
larger . than that of Nebraska
university. At Nebraska sev
enty-two teaching positions have
been made vacant.
. Consideration must be
given to the fact that the exist
ing salary scale at this institu
tion was in no way comparable
to the previously existing sal
ary scale at Michigan. In other
words the average salary paid
at Michigan was far higher than
that paid at Nebraska.
6. In addition to the above
curtailments the University of
Nebraska was obliged to dis
continue the granting of any tui
tion scholarships. The school of
fine arts was consolidated with
the arts and science college. A
25 percent reduction was made
in graduate scholarships and as
sistantships. No such provisions,
nor any other provisions of dis
similar nature, were decided
upon by the Michigan board of
regents.
The point in this comparison is
simply this, that it is Idiotic to
blind ourselves to the fact that

Nebraska has taken a bard blow
financially, harder than can be
sustained without loss of prestige.
There need be no unnecessary
grieving over the fact. What is
done is done and cannot be helped.
But the effort to take consola
tion in the fact that other colleges
and universities in the country
are similarly hard hit is a rather
futile attempt to make things
look bright and cheery. We have
presented here only the facts re
lating to one other major uni
versity. But we felt it was a
peculiarly apt comparison be
cause Michigan university has
been so frequently cited as a
companion in misery, from whose
condition Nebraska students and
faculty members could take con
dolence. We have no disposition to be
holding a public mourning spec
tacle over Nebraska university's
pathetic case, but we feel that it
is better to know the facts than
to resort to Tolly anna philosophy.
In the future it may help this in
stitution's financial situation if
there is a more general under
standing of its comparative stand
ing with other major institutions,
and if the citizens of the state
realize more fully that a first
rate university cannot be main
tained in competition with other
state and endowed colleges and
universities where greater thought
is cast before a program of cutting
and slashing educational activities
is entered upon.
Our Part
h Done.
THE present issue of the Ne
braskan is me last, issue which
will be published this summer. Al-
tho school work continues thru-
out another complete week, activ
ities on the summer campus will
be almost at a complete standstill
during the last few hectic days
when students are rushing about
completing last minute duties, get
ting ready for final examinations,
and preparing to leave Lincoln.
Despite changes in the person
nel of this publication, the Ne
braskan hopes that it has per
formed its function of supplying
information to the student body

its satisfaction with the re pons
the student body has shown to tho
need for summer recreation by
supporting the parties as well as
the other recreation event
planned by the committee. Be
cause of the large attendance the
committee has been able to sched
ule first class orchestras and at
the same time keep the admission
price at the ten cent figure.
A slight profit made at the
parties from year to year is kept
as a reserve fund to pay expenses
of the first party sponsored each
summer. Other expenses of the
summer recreation program, such
as the purchase of trophies for the
winners of various sport events,
are paid from the fund accumu
lated from the parties.
