A genial satisfaction at the possibility of getting something for nothing seems to be the pre dominant nole as preparations to get a federal grant Of $400,000 for a new armory are pushed by the uni versity. The building, it is asserted, will fill a crying need by rehousing the military department, the national headquarters of Pershing Rifles, and will serve bs a memorial to General Pershing, after whom it will probably be named. At the same time the armory does all thiN, it will also provide five months employment for 200 men, according to the estimates. And when the funds are obtained, if they are, the Nebraska cam pus will have a new building all for nothing, mind you and the Nebraska R. O. T. C. will have new quarters. There will, in addition, be fewer griev ances against compulsory military drill from pro testing students. And there will also be one more army project to be paid for by the people of a nation already overburdened by the cost of a military machine. There is, of course, the undeniable fact that the university gets something for nothing. Balance that with the equally undeniable fact that the teach ing staff which, after all, makes a university in spite of R. O. T. C. units will be a little more em bittered. There is something ironic in the efforts being made to get an armory when the university is considered fundamentally an institution for edu cation. But Nebraska hall is in the last stages of dis solution it is claimed, and "much time of students is wasted in securing and replacing their rifles and equipment" under the present arrangement. Let us suppose that Nebraska hall is falling down, as charged. Will legislators who see the campus with a. new building be any more ikely to appropriate fund3 for the buildings like the Library and Uni . versity hall, that are actually falling down ? There is furthermore the repeated statement in all news releases to date: "No state funds would be spent in the construction." Balance that with the administrative order not two weeks old that maint enance and operating costs of the university must be drastically curtailed. Will the government pay the cost of maintenance after the armory is built? The Nebraskan is not campaigning for or against the proposed armory. Several steps in the process of getting the federal grant remain, how The Student Pulse Brief, eonrlsr rontrlliutimis perti nent to mutter of niid.nl life iiml the university are welcomed ly this lpirt.nent, under the usual reitrir lion of sonnd newspaper prnetlee. which rxrludrs all libelous matter and personal attacks. Letters must he slimed, lint names will he with held from publication If so desired. Cutting Classes. TO THE EDITOR: No record of cut3 i. kept at Ihi University of Kansas. If a student is able to keep up with his class his cuts do not count against his grade. Why couldn't this plan be car ried out at Nebraska? Why all this iuss about absences, excused and unexcused ? Records of cuts are kept so the students will bo forced to attend classes. The r?ason for attendance is to gain Knowledge. Students in a university are primarily interest ed in gaining knowledge. Then why compel them to attend class? If the information which can be gained in class is really helpful and necessary to the student he will go to ciass whether his at tendance is checked or not. If he doesn't get much out of the class, why should he be compelled to at tend? If the student could cut a class as he pleased, perhaps professors would make a greater effort to make their class periods worth while. There are plenty of classes on our campus in which the stu dent needs to be present in body but not in spirit. Here many let ters are written home, many naps taken, many lessons for other classes prepared, and many social chats carried on. There are, of course, some stu dents who would not know how to use such n privilege of optional class attendance. They would con sider no class worth going to. and as a result would fail in their courses. But must a whole system of class attendance be kept to keep a few irresponsible students In their classes? Why all this of fice work and time used in check ing attendance to keep students in class? If one can spend his time more profitably elsewhere, why be forced to attend class ? B. C. Ag College By Carlj-U Hodgkin ON THE MARKET Last Thursday morning two dozen of Prof. Filley's marketing students and a dozen of Instructor Frolik's grain grading and judging students went to Omaha. Mr. Fro 11k got his grain Judges promptly out of the crowd, got thcui where he could give them a full day of Intense judging practice. His grain Trader he sent along with Mr. Filley's marketing class to inspect Omaha markets and marketing fa cilities. An hour or so in the morning they spent at the livestock market watching the activity or lack of activity there. From the livestock market, the party went to the real object of their visit the Omaha Grain Exchange. "You just can't describe a jrain exchinge," ex plained Mr. Filley, "you Jiave to go and see it." Not over-rushed with business, the exchange members on the trading floor seemed to have plenty of time to explain the work ings of that institution to the vis iting students. And the students seemed to find plenty of questions to ask. The grain exchange visit included a trip through the pro tein testing laboratory, grading laboratories, and the party was on the trading floor from 11:30 until lunch time. For lunch they went one block down the street to the Y. M. C. A. cafeteria. Two visits were on the program for the afternoon. First they went to the Crowell Terminal Elevator, most modem grain handling structure west of the Mississippi. The watched whole cars of grain being wheeled into position, dumped, and moved out of the way for the next car in exactly six minutes. The dumping process is simple: a railway car full of wheat is tilted over on its side at a thirty degree angle, up-ended one way until all the grain has emptied out of that end, and then up-epded the other way. From the dump the grain goes to the top floor of the elevator to be weighed, a car load at a time. To go thru the entire elevator and see all the processes filled every minute of an hour. Next and finally, the Omaha visi tors went to the National Biscuit company, ostensibly to see how the plant is operated, actually, per haps, to sample crackers and cook ies. From there they returned to Lincoln. A definite part of his marketing course, the Omaha trip, Mr. Filley believes, is well worth the time of any student who can possibly go. BILLBOARD. The billboard just across Hol drege street from the west part of i Ag campus has for years been a potent source of entertainment, in struction and information for Ag college students. Trudging daily to and from the campus, students have been reminded that they should "keep that school girl com plexion," "walk a mile for a Camel," "ask the man who owns one." "switch to Luck ies," or "buy a new set of golf c'.'ibs or a new set of chins, with what you save by using Listerine." The list of subjects presented to Ag students from the billboard's endless: shoes, the circus, gaso line, tooth paste, furniture, fire Insurance, cigarettes automobiles, politics, bread, tires, bus service, i ever, and consideration of all factors should precede additional ai t ion. Some Things to Wat eh. IT'S a big week. It's homecoming. And with the perversity "f homecoming weeks, it is not enough that Saturday should be alone In demanding atten tion, lor the cntiie period is full of all the varied activity that makes undergraduate life colorful even when it is the life of a year dominated by ser ious, even grave, external concerns. Without so much as leaving the campus the events for the week make a showing almost impres sive for its sti pe and variety. Beginning the ac tivity today, for example, the polls In the Temple will be open for any and all students as votes are cast in the honorary colonel election. At eleven education will be pleasantly disguised in a convoca tion as Dr. K. Stanley Jones, missionary to India, speaks from the wealth of his experience. Thruout the week candidates for Nebraska Sweetheart may file at the student activities office, the deadline for filing being Friday at b. Cam paigns under way last week will continue as A. W. S. workers sell homecoming stamps and Y. W. C. A. teams solicit funds In their annual finance cam paign. Students with tendencies to cultural interests will continue their attempts to scrape up the money to buy symphony concert tickets and the taking of Cornhusker pictures, as well as sale of the year books, will be other projects of the week. Friday and Saturday will see the culmination of the Homecoming activities, with football enthusi asm at high tide for the benefit ot the several hun dred visiting delegates to the High School Press association convention. Friday -rally day; Satur daygame day, with a party and everything. Re turning alumni will be as proud and glad as they have a right to be, and perhaps observing under graduates will catch glimpses in them of that in definable love of youth that makes Homecoming the day it is. Yes, it's a big week. The (irls lift Started. pvEFINITE organization of barb girls for work in activities got under way Monday night when the A. V. S. board's mass meeting marked another step in the effort being made to put unaffiliated women on an equal basis with Greek coeds for work in campus projects. The Monday night mass meeting was part of a program designed to help unaffiliated women share in extracurricular work and play. Charts listing the activities open to the girls were distrib uted at the meeting and the plan of organizatii n to be followed was announced. Under this plan five groups of twenty girls, led by five barb girls re sponsible to the A. W. S. board, will participated in intramural athletics and form a nucleus for work in activities. Outstanding about the scheme so far is the paramount fact that something is being done to draw non-Greek women into extracurricular activ ities. At present the organization of one hundied girls into the "activity groups" does not sem a very great undertaking, for it reaches only a relatively small number of unaffiliated girls. But no matter how small the movement may now be, it is a movement; it is a start from which future growth may be expected. Unaffiliated women are being informed of their opportunities in activities, and given to understand that they have as much right to benefit from extra curricular work and play as their Greek associates. What organization is going to equal the A. W. S. board in doing the same thing for Barb men? EVENTS THIS WEEK TUESDAY. Delta Sigma Lambda auxil iary, 1 o'clock luncheon, chap ter house.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAi Contemporary Comment An Armory At Minnesota. Half a million dollars of federal money will be spent on a new arm ory for Minneapolis, if plans an nounced by Minnesota National Guard authorities are carried out. This announcement, coming at such a time, seems to show a some what doubtful wisdom on the part of the federal government in fur nishing the funds. At a time when 10 million men and 30 million dependents are hard pressed to find food and adequate shelter, and at a time when 120 million people are asking to have their t;ix burdens lightened, it seems unfortunate that the govern ment should spend such amounts building armories. Local govern ments and private charities are un able to dire for the tremendous numbeis of people who find it necessary to tceeivo help, and yet we find the Federal government building another armory. School teachers may go unpaid due to a cut In education funds, govern mental departments may receive as large a cut as is necessary, politi Coliseum Transformed Into Spacious, Beautiful Ballroom for First Time At Homecoming Party Next Saturday A huge ballroom, 200 feet long, and 120 feet wide, with a ceiling of pnle 1 ue, billowy linen, sloping gradually like the top of a circus tent. A huge ballroom, with twelve foot walls of deep green velour that folds and tucks and sways a little to tho tune of the dance. A ballroom it is for the University of Nebraska, that will be pulled and hauled into place this week in time for the homecoming party in the coliseum on Saturday night. but of that barn-like building, where those who dance have long peeked thru crepe paper streamers that were intended to hide a dis tant ceiling, and long steel girders. Within the big top which once deemed appalling to guests, the ballroom will be lifted and strung into place, out of cupboards and great boxes. And presto! On with the dance! Groups Cooperate. Thru the cooperation of student organizations at the University of Nebraska, this portable set of per manent decorations was made possible. A few weeks ago, J. K. Selleck, manager of student activ ities, tried -hem out for the first time. Several changes were made in the apparatus, and now it is ready to rje initiated by the eight hundred couples expected to attend the hom"comin7 party after the game with Kansas. Realizing the futility of going on forever streaming the mam moth place with crepe paper that must be lorn down and renewed on the next party, Mr. Selleck and the Innocents, men's senior honor ary society, started a move for permanent decorations. Saturday night dancers at the once barren looking wide-open space in the coliseum will find the answer. NEXT FRIDAY EVENING Will Initiate Members Non-National Chapter At Gathering. of; Tli ' annual alumni banquet of the Nebraska Chapter of Acacia, masonic fraternity, will be held Friday evening at 6:30 at the Cornhusker hotel. Robert C. Lewi s, national pre:.:dent of Acacia, Herschel Washington, edi tor of the official magazine, the Triad, and about one hundred and fifty alumni will attend. Milton Blakcnship. Perry Morton of the Alumni association, and John Hol lingsworth, president of the Gov erning Board are in charge. An initiation of members and pledges of Delta Phi Gamma, which was the name of the chap ter under its local status last year, will precede the banquet at the Scottish Rite temple at 1 o'clock. An initiation team from Kansas university will be in charge. The Nebraska chapter of Acacia severed its relations with the na tional organization in 1929 in pro test to the requirement that mem bers must bs Masons, which re quires an age limit of 21. Delta Phi Gamma was formed as a local fraternity, and several other schools followed in this manner of protest. The national constitution was charged this summer as a re sult, and the Nebraska chapter was reinstated this fall. Nebraska was the fourth chap ter of the national fraternity to be organized, of the present twenty-eight active chapters. Char'er members of the Nebraska chapter are Prof. E. H. Barbour, Prof. George R. Chatburn, Prof. G. E. Condra, O. J. Fee. N. G. Fitz patrick, A. G. Jennings. C. K. Payne, Prof. R. E. Pepperburg. C. R. Weeks, C. S. Wilson, and Prof. H. H. Wilson, Dean Roscoe Pound, and Prof. C. W. Poynter are hon orary members. Due to the rise in enrollment at Stanford university, the campus sororities have to face a real prob lem of over crowding. SERVICE STATIONS OFFICES Company R STS. 18th and R Streets 17th and Washington B-3291 t- H. Stamps BANQUET cians may talk all they want about balanced budgets arm ix reuue t'ons, but Minneapolis must have a new armorv. Were this the only aspect of the matter, tho situation might not be so bad. It can be argued that the project does give temporary em ployment to a handful of men. But an armory is an anachronism in the twentieth century. It is another addition to that vast military ma chine which serves the armament makers and consumes seventy cents of every dollar paid in taxes In this country. The efforts of the world today are towards peace, .everywhere we find the talk turn ing to the limitation and eventual abolition of all instruments and or ganizations of warfare. The Twin Cities have at present an armory In St. Paul, an armory on the Uni versity campus, and a very large military reservation at Fort Snell ing. The need for another strictly military structure is hardly ap parent. The plans have not yet been finally approved. We believe the money could be used for a more commendable purpose. Minnesota Daily. Many organizations contributed to the fund, and this year all is ready. Great Bulk of Cloth. Nearly 700 square yards of green velour will wall in the 200 by 120 foot space. These walls are hung from the balcony rail to the floor, by means of a hook and eye system. Nine draped openings will occur at intervals around its length. Hung over the entire floor, anil cut in a single piece is the great canopy, m.ide of pale blue fire-proofed linen. Thi i canopy is supported by cables, three of which hang from each of the five steel girders that arch the ceiling. Windlasses from the side balconies operate the cables. Lighting for the ballroom is done from two large chandeliers, fifteen feet, in diameter, which hang some thirty-five feet from the floor, yet beneath the canopy, six 1000-watt bulbs are used in each of the chandeliers, and five foot shades of gold cloth cover them. Coming from the side walls, by brackets, will hang other shad ed lamps. Taken Down After Use. After being used, the 1200 foot canopy will be let down, and pack ed in its box, which also serves as one of three sections making up the orchestra platform. For the walls, long boxes are provided into which thy may be rolled, and left hanging straight. In the future, when finances per mit, spotlights throwing out blues, and reds, and greens may be play ed beneath the canopy; floor lamps will add more light and color; chandeliers and shades may be changed to match, and the coli seum, once ridiculous as a dancing place, will become graceful, a kaleidoscopic ballroom.
