AVHILE delegates to the national conference of v students in politics were being urged to stir themselves to political and social action, two Yale students had already plunged into reality by way of the police courts as a result of their participation in picketing activities during a foundry strike. The two students were arrested for standing in the picket line, and after the Yale Daily News had publicized the cases, two student groups were organ ized to submit a protest to the mayor. One group was refused admittance, and three delegates from the other group who were permitted to appear be fore the executive were greeted with a lecture against communism. And of the two student pick eters, one was convicted on charges of resisting an officer and breach of the peace, while the other's $25 fine was for looking at the badge of an officer, or breach of the peace. Of the whole affair Dean Mendel of Yale is quoted as saying: ". . . College authorities are en tirely out of sympathy with the interference of stu dents in New Haven affairs about which they are uninformed. . . The college will not encourage the Students tn any extra-legal attempts to determine the right or wrong of any local problems." Commenting on the Yale furore, The Nation has caustic rebukes for the dean: "Somebody should inform the dean that picketing has been declared le gal by no less a tribunal than the supreme court of the United States. . . There is something most un seemly in the attitude of a college officer who de liberately opposes, and attempts to persuade the un dergraduates in his charge to oppose student criti cism of local industrial conditions. Yale is doubt less offering courses in sociology and economics. Where is there a better place for a direct applica tion of the theories taught in the classroom than In the town in which the college is situated?" - And to that we echo: Where indeed? Instead of censure, their activities should be welcomed as an attempt to couple their formal educations with the society of actuality. Such local "laboratory work" would be highly desirable if it should open the sleepy collegiate eyes. 'And A'oit IV s Basketball. '"pONIGHT Coach Harold Browne's cage squad will open the varsity basketball season at the Coli seum against a potent Kansas university team, per ennial Big Six champion. But the game promises to be something more than just another expected defeat for Nebraska fans, what with the Huskers upsetting the strong Iowa State team last Friday at Ames, which incidentally put the Cornhuskers at the top of the conference standings. In addition, two other items should prove inter esting to fans. The athletic office has lowered the price of game admissions to forty cents, which is the lowest price in the history of the school, and besides that, the fans will be entertained between halves of the game with skits furnished by the Tas sels, women's pep group, and that should alleviate the lull which pervades the field house during that period. Unfortunately basketball has not enjoyed a tre mendous amount of popularity with Nebraska uni versity Btudents. Far outshadowed by football from the standpoint of student interest, support and stu dent attendance at basketball games has been on the decline for several years. It would not be assuming too much to say that Coach Browne and his squad work as hard and long to make Nebraska an able representative of the school in this sport, as in any other phase of the university's athletic program. It must be admitted, perforce, that Nebraska basketball teams have not enjoyed the greatest success for some time, but the showing may, in part, be laid at the door of feeble student support. We do not say that Nebraska will have a win ning team. We do assert, however, that the team deserves more than the mediocre backing to which it is accustomed. Attend the game tonight, and support the team ! Simplification Is Indicated. WOMEN'S rushing rules are again in the process of revision. A committee from the Panhel- lenic council is at work going over obsolete rules and making changes to suit the need of the 1934-35 season. For years the Panhellenic council has kept its rushine regulations up to date. When depression hit the campus, this body ruled there should be no summer parties. At this same time it took other steps to reduce expenses by declaring there should be no favors given at rush affairs and limited the total amount which Greek letter groups could spend during rush week. Another noteworthy enterprise undertaken by this body is that of providing, for the benefit of rushees, lists of the amount it would cost to live in each sorority. It took a step to help the group it self when it ruled that only girls who expected to pledge could be entertained at parties. In that way a sorority would not be spending money on a girl who was not a prospective member. But despite the fact the rules are revised each year and are kept up to date, they still fall short of filling the needs of either the sorority or the rushee. A careful reading of these regulations will show that they are most complex and difficult to follow. In many places different interpretations of the rules could change the entire idea. For instance the rules declare that "spiking" is taboo. It is generally conceded, however, that 95 percent of the sororities either wilfully or unknow ingly violate this regulation. Other examples could be cited. Conversation with various rush chairmen will indicate that there is a lack of satisfaction. They say they are never exactly sure whether or not a rule is being broken. In view of these facts, the thing indicated for the council's committee is simplification of rushing rules so that both sorority and rushee will under stand them. If they are understandable, the chances are greater that the rules will be obeyed. After all, it is the spirit back of any plan which makes it workable, and we maintain that no spirit of obedi ence could operate on the present maze of rules. It's Great Sport. GETTING out this sheet is no picnic. If we print human interest stories, people say we are silly. If we don't they say we are too serious. If we clip things from other publications, we are too lazy to write them ourselves. If we don t we re stuck on our own stuff. If we don't print all contributions, we are biased. If we do print them, the sheet is filled with junk. If we make changes in editing copy we are too critical. If we don't we are asleep.

Texas University Library Archivist Has as Task Making of Photostatic Copies of Old Documents and Papers Ultor's Nots: t'nlvrlty librarians havs a varletv of taeks. Each day tney are callnd upon to scure all klnda of Informa tion for student. One of th linrarlans at the Unlveriitv ft Txa han a tak which la unuaual and at tha Kama time moat helpful to atuienta. The Daily Nrraikan la Mprtntlngt the following article from The Dally Texan which cxpialna Mlea Allen's Grk In detail. Taking pictures of other pictures and printed pages is the work of the photostat department of the University Library. Miss Winnie Allen, archivist, who supervises the work, declares that the department has been of inestimable value in the preserving of old pictures and document, especially of Texas his tory times. The department was installed in the basement of the library about ten years ago. Although the scope of its work is varied, the library doea not attempt to use the ma chine in any commercial sense. The photostat work done is pri marily for the professors, the stu dents, and the library itself. Mias Allen explained. It is all done on a cost basis, the purchaser of the photostat copy having to pay for materials and labor only. One of the chief aids to the thesis writer Is the photostat de partment. It is there that he se cures his scientific and statistical tables and graphs, and his pictures of persona and events which would not be otherwise avail ible. Sev eral pages may be copied verbatim if necessary at a very umall cost and In a few minutes time, about one minute being required in the devilopment of each exposure. Much Material Copied. Miss Allen explained that it was by means of the photostat that the library got the material contained in its archives. Much of the photo stat material could not have been got in any other way, Miss Allen said. People who are unwilling to give or sell valuable and rare ma terial to the library, often permit the librarian to make a photostat copy of their original. The most fragile of old books and letters may be photostated without harm coming to them. And the work Is so accurate that it is accepted by high authorities as quickly aa the original script. The prints are not retouched in any way. and because of the intensity of the mercury light which is used, the copies are often more effective than the originals. Even finger prints, spots, and torn places In the paper of the object photo stated are reproduced exactly. Exchange Feature Used. Another feature of the photo stat work is the exchange of prints carried on between the various li braries. Gaps in the files of one library are filled by copies of the material from another. Rare books and letters are also photostated and pamphlet bound so that the oririnals mav be removed from ac tive use and preserved. A part of Sam Houston's correspondence is an example of this kind of work which the library has lately added to its collection. Conference of Canadian-American Students Believes Socialism Only Solution for Economic Depression Contemporary Comment ka university Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. on Sunday afternoon in Ellen Smith hall. Rreta Peterson and Charles hu lac represented the University of Nphraska at the conierence, in which fifty-eight colleges partici pated, representing schools from all parts of the United States and Canada. The assembly, which was held at McMaster university, naa for its purpose the providing of "truly continental reuowsnip, dis cussion and action." The group studied three of the major prob lems facing Christianity today, di viding into commissions on ration' alism and Christianity, unemploy mMt and Christianity, and race and Christianity. Call United States Conceited. The nationalism commission, of which Miss Peterson was a mem' ber, made a detailed investigation of the manifestations of national ism in the various countries, each delegate reporting his interpreta tion of one particular nation's standing on the subject. National ism in the United States was held to be a form of conceit by one Ca nadian student, who aUted that this attitude was clearly shown in our foreign policy. That Germany, although the most nationalistic of all countries, has been grossly mi represented by the press of our na tion, was also shown, many of the more sensational stories being flat ly denied by those acquainted with conditions over there. The race commission, in which Charles Hulac was a delegate, adopted as a criterion for race re lationships, "Give a man credit for being a man regardless of the color of his skin." The group sepa rated the race problem into three major divisions: Black vs. white, oriental vs. occidental, and Jew vs. Christian. Guests at the meeting were Chancellor and Mrs. E. A. Burnett, Miss Bemice Miller, University Y. W. C A. secretary, and C D. Haves. University Y. M. C. A. sec retary. Prior to the meeting, tea was served.

Few institutions have suffered more from the long-continued de pression than the colleges and uni versities. Particularly is this true of the state universities of the Mid dle West, most of which being de pendent upoa current taxes find themselves the pet targets of poli ticians desirous of reducing taxa tion. Of course the financial stress of the institutions finds reflection in privations for the faculty mem hr I hear of one very large in stitution which is contemplating a reduction of its teaching staff by no less than six hundred. From one state university comes the tale of an assistant professor who eked out a too slender stipend by managing a gasoline station. Shocked, the president called him tn account. The university might be poor, but no such secrifice of the dignity of its professors could possibly be permitted. Noblesse obliged, you know, my dear fellow. The professor went home and re flected. He jazea upon mc auuuu ant crop of infants which always seems to sprout among professorial families. He studied the compar ative income frjm vulgar gasoline and the higher Ughts of intellectual endeavor. Finally he sent his resignation to the college presi- The story reminded me of an ex perience I had it; one of our V ass achusetts college towns. A long street, shaded by beautiful old elms, ruos by the side of, and at places thru, the campua. One side is given over largely to very spaci ous and beautiful fraternity houses. I was walking alonge this avenue one day with a professor who sud denly revealed deep bitterness of spirit over the economic status cf his profession. "Look at that!" he cried, waving an indignant hand at the fraternity row across the way. "Those pal aces: Actual palaces in every re spect. Occupied by a lot of young wastrels! Students who are cod dled like young royalty. And see this decrepit frame house here? Three professors' families live in it, with bai cly enough room for the dpopneies of life. Abominable, I call it!" Tha contrast was, I admitted, rather shocking. It led me to wonder why, amidst the uncounted gifts and bequests for students' living quarters in our colleges, no body ever thinks to establish a quadrangle for the professors. But just now the question is rather academic. Nobody is giving to anything nowadays, except to meet the bitter needs of victims of the depression.

Ag CoSItge By Carlvle Hodgkin The Worm Turns. Now that "feeble, anemic" Co lumbia has beaten "strong; invin cible" Stanford (see Southern Cali fornia sports scribes) we may at most expect almost anything in the way of upsets. Perhaps the W.C.T.U. will an nounce that "drinking has great rultural advantages." Dr. Mitchell will say, "We're not only going to give up the Bawl-Out, but the whole grading system; figuring out the averages gets us down." The American Legion will pass a reso lution recognizing Russia, and the D.A.R. will announce, "We're really ttin'ting of making Stalin an honorary member." A greater wonder has happened: An American university sells beer on the campus. The Union of the Universitv of Wisconsin now sells beer at five cents a stein. Free pretzels, too.

Only actives are to come to TWO POINTS OF VIEW. A popular expression around the campus this week will be this: "I have to take" this course or that. The expression is an epitome of a common point of view among stu dents. That point of view is that courses are being forced upon them, that they are being handed a cut and dried curricula with no choice but to accept it. The attitude is a little like a per son who is ready for a major oper ation might feel: "They've got me here now, and they are going to do with me just as they please re gardless of my wishes." Many a student feels that the university pokes down his throat just about what it pleases without considera tion of his wishes. I suggest an exactly opposite point of view. It is this: You have a problem to solve. The university is offering to help you solve it You want an education. The uni versity is suggesting the most ef ficient way to go about getting that education. The one point of view says, "They are trying to poke something down my throat." The other says, "I have a problem. They are trying to help me solve it." Now it is just as easy, since both are attitudes, to feel one way as the other. Consider, then, what reasons, there are for taking the attitude suggested here. First, you wanted an education or you would never have come to the university. That establishes the fact that you have a problem how best to go about getting that education; and since you chose to come, it is your problem. Suppose that there were no cut and dried curricula established. Then you would have to make up your own mind what courses were relevant to the subject which you Intended to pursue. Then you would have to decide how much of each of these relevant subjects you would need to take, and at what time during your college expert ence. Without standardization, you would have to decide everything for yourself. Imagine what a con' fusion it would be. It becomes sp' parent just how the university, even the cut and dried curricula, fills the role of helping the student solve his problem. And that applies only to the fel low who knows what subject he wants to pursue. What about the great majority who don't? As it is, the university suggests stand ard curricula that they may fol low until, or in the hope that, they will find some subject which they want to follow. If there was no such a setup, where would that kind of student start, how would he begin? The role of the univer sity is to lend a helping hand. To go a step further, just how cut and dried are these curricula I It is well known that if a student knows just what he wants, is defi nitely pursuing some subject, he may make a great many arrange ments of courses to fit his inter ests. Such special arrangements are not published in the program of courses for a good reason: Too many students would be wanting special arrangements in order to avoid work, not in order to pursue special interests. But ask a num ber of students who have done the best work in their classes, who know what they want and how they want to go after It, and you will find that the university will go a long way to meet the inter ests of the student It simmers down to a matter of who is going to furnish the brains. When the student can and will do the thinking, knows what he wants and how, the university goes a long way toward letting him do it But when the student can furnish no thinking at all, don't know what he wants or why not, the institution has to furnish the thinking for him. In either case the Institution is simply going to whatever ends it finds necessary to help him solve his problem. One other thought on registra tion. Just how important is this business of selecting courses, any way? To a freshman it appears that there are three years still ahead plenty of time yet to take the courses he wants. But watch a senior. This is his last chance. He is selecting courses with ex treme care; and the fact that stu dents at the end of college do con sider so carefully which courses to take might suggest to students at the beginning of college that the matter is really important; that it might be well to be careful in the selection of courses from the start.
