Relief Study
Centers.
gOCIAL planning, of recent months, has come in
for a considerable share of attention. Many of
the various relief projects have been undertaken
with the hope that they may be developed into pro
jects to serve as a basis for permanent arrange
ments. Relief, in other words, although the imme
diate end, has often been supplemented by aims ot
greater scope in order that society may be per
manently bettered.
Among the things suggested as being in the di
rection of social planning was adult education on a
larger scale. Secretary of Labor Perkins was
among the advocates of adult education, and in one
of her statements during the fall sponsored it as
part of a program of planned eccnomy designed to
lessen the possibilities of depression and depression
hardships.
As yet no national program has been under
taken for the extension of educational opportunities.
But in Nebraska, at least, an unusual and signifi
cant attempt is being made to expand education in
the state through the CWS-supported relief study
centers. Under this arrangement "schools" are be
ing established in Nebraska communities for the
"purpose of offering high school and college courses
to the men and women ot the state. The system
is being organized through the university's exten
sion division, and in the towns local and county sup
erintendents have charge of actually getting the
work of the study centers under way.
Educators have previously urged the advis
ability of some such plan, and similar arrangements
have proven workable. The relief study center plan,
however, is sponsored with federal funds and there
fore represents recognition by the government ot
the practicability of using existing educational fa
cilities in a broad plan for adult instruction.
Some of the more obvious benefits of the study
' centers include their provision for giving educa
tional chances to young men and women who might
"otherwise be denied them, employment of jobss
teachers, and provisions for valuable use of the lei
'Sure of unemployed men and women. In addition
soma students will be given employment on the
campus aa readers.
Development ot the study centers will be
watched with interest, and it is to be hoped that the
Nebraska arrangement la but the first federally
sponsored educational project. Long-term social
planning is here to stay if speakers for the pres
ent administration are to be believed, and provisions
for education should certainly be included in the
federal programs.
Overheard in
The Corridors.
gY listening to student conversation concerning
registration one would gather that it was almost
impossible to get correct information about courses
offered, instructors, requirements, or any of the
things w'.iieh a student should know before planning
his net semester's work.
One distressed girl had spent five semesters in
school and had only one of the general requirements
worked off. A boy was lamenting the fact that his
advisor was constantly trying to register him for
all of his own courses. Perhaps the saddest story
was the one told by the students who had gone three
or four times to their advisors for conferences and
found them out each time.
At best registration is difficult, but the job isn't
hopeless. It seems, first of all, that every student
should be sufficiently acquainted with courses cf
fered to do away with the practice of signing up for
a "number" and then waiting to see what happens.
At present the only way a student has of getting
this information is through conversations with each
instructor. Carried into effect, this would not be
practical from the standpoint of either the student
or professor.
When a student first matriculates with the uni
versity, he has a course of study outlined for him,
He should understand requirements for graduation
by knowing what constitutes a major and hours
necessary for a minor. In addition to this, it is im
portant that he arrange his schedule so that during
his Junior and senior year he will have fulfilled his
junior division requirements.
Recommendations for schedules may be dis
liked, but it is when students stubbornly refuse to
accept the help offered them that registration mix
ups result When students make an attempt to
adjust their difficulties reasonably and try to plan
definite courses of study in accordance with univer
sity schedules, then and only then will the causes
of confusion be removed.

exposed to wide differences of opinion. A recent
report shows that 1933 was the best health year on
record, judging from insurance mortality statistics.
This falls in line with the striking figures from
public health agencies about falling death rates in
these depression years.
But contrast to this report authorities point out
that there is a large increase in malnutrition among
children. The death rate continues to fall, but sev
eral years from now we may be harvesting the
health consequences of these last years of depres
sion.
For the present at least society will not suffer
from the results of malnutrition among its children.
Health figures of 1940-45 will be the best Indictment

actual effects of malnutrition will be apparent.
Revolt at the Ke-vote.
TO THE EDITOR:
One sometimes wonders how the
red tape of administratlonal diffi
culties can continue to be pre
served in the face of an almost
overwhelming desire for a change
that would greatly benefit all stu
dents bar none. The particular
case called to attention by me in
this brief "gripe," if you please, is
a doubt as to the necessity of re
voting on the student activity tax.
Everyone, I believe that no one
will differ with me on that point, is
overwhelmingly in favor of such a
tax. They realize the tremendous
value it would be to them person'
ally in the way of convenience and
finance. But they also realize how
much nicer it would be for those
individuals who attempt to man
age the few student activities that
are carried on by students, them'
selves, at the University of Ne-
braska. It would indeed be
"New Deal" for campus activities
and for campus life.
Without the presence ot this ad
ditional formality and time-wast
ing devices, let us, without delay
ing until the student council de
cides that every proper step has
been taken, institute a student ac
tivity tax that will prove a boon to
all concerned.

Contemporary Comment
Down With Something,
TO THE EDITOR:
Ohio students have finally raised
their voices in protest against war,
and preparations for war. Even
tho the regents of that university
have not yet decided their stand
upon the dismissal of those in
volved, it is to be expected that
Newton Baker, former Secretary
of War, and a member of the
Board of Regents, will use his voice
to see that the men no longer re
main in the university. This is
the only stand consistent with
Baker's past record. Let us, stu
dents of a university far removed,
territorially from the scene of that
conflict, see how that existent sit
uation affects us.
Preparedness for warfare en
courages similiar participation in
encouragement of militaristic ac
tivities by the foreign powers. This
is not conductive to peace, ana
peaceable settlements of interna
tional difficulties. This type of
preparedness is even now expen
sive to the national government.
This same government in its re
port for the first quarter of the
fiscal year shows a deficit of
slightly more than $292,000,000,
not to include the activities of the
A. A. A., or the C. W. A. Of course
removal of drill from the schools
thruout the counrty would not
make up this deficit, but neither
will it add to the amount of in
debtedness of the national govern
ment. Military officers now em
ployed in the school corps in the
land could be put to work on the
C. C. C, or other existent military j
or aeml-railltary functions of the
recovery program.
Peace, and peaceable settlement
of international difficulties will
save hundreds of millions of dollars
to nations by eliminating present
unnecessary armament construc
tion. Battleships, airships, and
guns are soon past the stage of
serviceability and the cost of re
Dlacemsnt is treat. Courts ate
never out of date, membership in
the courts Is not as costly as the
replacement of a battleship, peace
does not derive families of their
representatives of clean young
manhood, in fact no argument
can be advanced for the continu
ance of compulsory or optional
military drill that is not offset by
great disadvantages or by im
proved advantages of a continued,
economical, program of peace.

that war is foolish, extravagant,

TO THE EDITOR:
It seems to me that the student
council cannot let well enough
alone. I never heard of anyone
ever complaining about the SO'
called intolerable situation on the
campus concerning the purchase of
Duplications, athletl c tickets and
the like, but nevertheless the sta
dent council !s practically forcing
the students to swallow an "ac
tivity tax" plan and like it!
Under this plan, each student
upon registering must pay with
his fees, an extra sum of about
five dollars a semester for student
publications, etc, whether he likes
to or not. For this extra ien doi
lars a year he is to receive a Corn
husker, a subscription to the Daily
Nebraskan, and Awgwan, a stU'
dent athletic ticket and contribute
some on a Student Union build
ing which will be used by students,
if ever, in about three hundred
years from now unless the legiS'
lature appropriates the money to
help the cause.
Thus, each student would get
this mess of publications which in
my mind aren't worth half the
price that we must pay for them
even 'at a great reduction' under
the new plan, and an athletic
ticket which could be purchased
almost as cheaply without the tax
plan, in other words it looks to
me like a means to force all the
students to support publications
and help build a Student Union
building for some students In about
three centuries.
I'll admit that it would be ad
vantageous for some students who
take all of the publications any
way,' but for some of us students
who aren t interested in student
publications, it's a farce.

Business.
A striking incident showing the
chief drawback of written exam
inations as a means of testing
knowledge and awarding grades
occurred recently at Milwaukee
State Teachers' college when a
class of 53 revolted against a pro
fessor who accused three-fourths
of them of cribbing.
Rather than trying to evade ac
countability for their dishonesty,
members of the class admitted that
they had cheated and supported
their actions by the argument that
they didn't have time to answer so
many questions in 45 minute and
that they are unable to do reflec
tive thinking when they must run
a race with time to get the an
swers written down.
It is manifestly unfair to stu
dents to base the grades 'or a se
mester's work on one or two ex
aminations. The presrnt system of
grading is an invitation to cheat
because students realize that if
they fail on the test their work
for the semester will be lost.
Professors err in formulating
ill-chosen questions for examina
tions, by making them too long
and by placing too much emphasis
upon them. Mont te'icher qui'.

The real reason that pipes have
been returned to favor is an eco

tobacco will last three times as

one step ahead of the wolf, will dig
out the old pipe. He glosses over

that a pipe is less derogatory to
