Abraham Lincoln. Sour Grapes and Student Elections. HPHE recent senate investigation into the Huey Long; political machine in Louisiana, nade known to the man in the street through the press and radio, have received nationwide attention. This, however, heralds nothing unusual, for city, state, and national governments have been laid open to in vestigation during the past few years. Student governments, despite their characteris tic complacency, have not escaped the new deal. Frequently charges of mismanagement and corrup tion have been directed toward petty student politi cal setups In our institutions of higher learning. In many Instances the reformers were guided by sin cere and altruistic motives. Others have evidently based their criticisms on selfish motives. On this campus a similar movement is putting in a superficial appearance. Over a long period of time few questioned methods of student govern ment What criticism the self styled reformers of fered was usually taken in the lighter vein. The most recent gesture toward "cleaning up" student elections here, appeared in the nature of a petition. Essentially the petition asked for faculty supervision of elections. This was an unfortunate gesture. For a number of years university students sus tained a fight against administrative manipulations of student enterprise. Not to be denied the right to control extra-curricular activities, the persevering students as on the Nebraska campus were even tually given the right to manage, for the most part, student activities. In other words, students were given the right to stand on their own feet Along with this, however, came the gradual separation of faculty members from student activi ties. With student self government expanding, vital interest in student enterprise was destroyed for most faculty members. At the present time, we think, faculty participation in student activities goes only so far as being a link between the university administration and student activities. In addition, student elections were soon placed in the hands of student governing bodies on the as sumption that such a body was representative of the best interests of the student body. Viewed in this light elimination of student su pervision of elections is a decided step backward. The Nebraskan feels that the broad powers granted in the Student council constitution should be pre served. Rather than destruction of present powers, students should look to the day when further liber alization may be realized. The cries of "graft", "corruption", and "stuffed ballot, boxes" have been, for the most part unfound ed. Little proof has been brought forward in the light of day to verify these rumors. As such, the Nebraskan is prone to brand these charges as "sour gTapea." Neither are we blinded by false Idealism. Cor ruption is probably not unknown in university elec tions. Until sufficient evidence to support such ac cusations is produced, however, we have little time or patience with "grape peddlers." The Nebraskan does not pretend to be infalli ble. Factual evidence of mismanagements and cor ruption in university elections is welcomed in the Student Pulse department appended to the editorial column. The Nebraskan maintains, however, that re organization of the Student council not revision of Ita constitution is the key to successful government reader of current affairs. But the fact the congress is in favor of making even greater "welfare" meas ures Is not so well known. William Hard, in an article in a late issue of Today, tells us that Representative Morehead of Nebraska started off the next day after the presl dent's speech with a bill asking for $250 for the welfare of a well In the town of Lincoln. Only $250, but how many persons would it feed? Representative Terrell, Texas, Introduced a bill asking the government for $115,336.66 to compen sate the state of Texas for expenditures in trying to frustrate the boll weevil in 1918. Senator Walcott and Representative Merritt of Connecticut Introduced a bill for the government to compensate the state of Connecticut for the expcndl tures in fighting the British during the war of 1812 Other states may follow the example and we will have an epidemic of compensation requests for something rr other in the dim past. It seems unlikely that the 2 billion dollars al lotted to the PWA will stand a lot of such drain age. Congressmen seem to forget that the wise expenditure of this money is necessary. If con gressmen are not far-seeing, they should at least be taught caution by public opinion. Oklahoma Dally. The Football Paradox, BY JAMES CRENSHAW. Editor College News Service. Remember how perfectly scandalous and scan dalized we all felt a few years ago at the Carnegie Foundation expose of college athletics? Well, the situation seems to be righting Itself, according to President Thomas S. Gates of the University of Pennsylvania, who reported to the Association of American Colleges that college sports have under gone a housecleaning. Many of the too obviously commercial aspects of intercollegiate athletic competition are being toned down and there is less subsidization of ath letes, according to Dr. Gates, and the movement toward de-emphasizing sports seems to be moving along nicely. However, there is a danger, more real than ap parent, that we may try so hard to stand straight that we may lean over backward. In other words, simply because we place less emphasis on college sports, need they be less interesting and entertain ing, either to the players and participants or those of us who sit on the sidelines and watch? And, to be more specific, while the increasing popularity of professional football may have a salu tary effect on colleges and universities by making the grid contests of the latter less like commercial spectacles, what's wrong with making college foot ball just as interesting as professional? Those who have seen professional games de clare that the style -f play and the rules governing the play make these contests far superior to college games, from the point of view of excitement, thrill and safety. It would be well if the rules makers for the college sport would study the professionals with a view to revising thoroughly some of the existing methods of play. Perhaps they may even be able to formulate a new set of rules which will enable two college teams to play an entire game without calling in the United States supreme court to settle a dispute.

With no stock company in Lincoln, no profes sional "home of the spoken drama," the gap In lo cal amusements is well filled by the University Playsrs. This is not new. The University Players have been offering to the university and Lincoln theater goers high class drama all year. Monday night the Players presented the fifth play of the current season, offering J. B. Priestly' "Dangerous Corners." The play was hailed by crit ics as being well done. We Join them in saying, "Well done!" Especially do we think that the part of Robert Chatfield played by Peter Sumption was especially good. University students would find their time well spent attending the Players' performance this Week at the Temple theater. Contemporary Comment Prosperity Via The Pork Barrel. That the president is advocating vast expendi ture of public money i fairly clear to tits averags A Plea For Action. TO THE EDITOR: When the ultra-democratic student body of Ne braska returned to Lincoln and the university last fall, great thoughts had flowered In the minds of some of the astute student leaders on the campus. This was to be a year of great changes, extensive reforms, and mighty accomplishments. The work of the school year of 1933-34 was to be one that would be firmly imprinted on Nebraska student his tory if advance Indications in the fall amounted to anything. And, spurred on by this suddenly inspired force within the student organizations, the year did start off with a bang, so to speak. The Interfraternity council was reorganized far beyond the original changes planned for it. A program was discussed whereby the council would extend its influence, if possible, to other fields than strictly male Greek af fairs. The Student council declared its policy as one favoring the activity tax, and pledged its efforts to a successful culmination of the project. Among other things it would do during the year, was to work out a scheme of reorganization, seek to be come a more perfect governing body, and sponsor constructive enterprise on the campus. The Com Cobs, temporarily deprived of their constitution, supposedly reformed, and instilled with new life and vigor, set about to do great things. Similar inten tions were voiced by many other organizations of the campus. In short, a galaxy of resolutions com parable to the usual New Yea-.' resolves was set up to be followed. Now, with two weeks of the second semester already slipped by almost unnoticeably, it is inter esting to note how much has been done and how much has been left undone. The Interfraternity council, off to a good start pledgsd itself to a cam pus beautification project The propoaal seems to have hibernated In some out of the way spot The Corn Cobs, full of vigor, pep, and what-not Seem to have wilted and faded from active life. An occa sional glimpse of the characteristic red sweater 1 all that remain to remind the campus that they are here. And worse yet the Student council seems to have fallen into a trance. The vanity party propo sition has been postponed time and again for silly reasons; the student forum project has died from sheer fatigue; the activity tax ia limping along on the feeble crutch of council support It seem a; if campus activities have fallen into a state of lethargy and cannot arise. I think it is about time that the student body awakes, both as individual and a a group, and if they do nothing more than keep their own activities moving along at a merry gait the outside world will notice that we have a university here and not a school versed in the art of Morpheus. Let's see some of these so-called campus leader step out in these project which havs been "hanging fire." and inaWad of quibbling over uaimportant detail, get the Job dona rigat and right away. F. R.

No hard and fast class schedule, no books to buy, no registration fees to pay, mornings open for reading, leisure, or field tours, few examinations, plenty of places to go and thin to see these are some of the things Muriel Moffitt, home economics senior, enjoyed during her semester s stay at Mer rill-Palmer school at Detroit, Mich. Back on Ag college campus now for her last semester in col lege, Miss Moffitt has many an interesting experience to tell about her semester at Detroit. "I would have liked to stay there another semester, ' sne says. At the head of the list of all schools teaching child psychology, child development, etc., etc., stands Merrill-Palmer. It s just a little place only thirty students on rolled, but there are forty-five faculty members to see to the in tellectual needs of those thirty .stu dents. The faculty personnel, the faculties ror study, and the organ ization of the school, Miss Moffitt thinks, are almost beyond cnti' cism. The students at Merril-Palmer come and go very much as they choose. There are no classes in the morning. Some mornings are used for field trip about the city; oth ers are free for study in the li brary, for doing most anything, or ror doing nothing, xne norary, Miss Moffitt says, is large, luxuri ous, and complete. The classes come in the after noon. But attendance is not re quired by statute. Nor does one get bawled out if a certain paper isn't turned in on a certain day. 'If you happened to want to at tend an opera in the evening," Miss Moffitt said, "you didn't have to worry about some paper being due on the next morning." Shift Responsibility. The principles of teaching used at the Detroit school shift the re sponsibility very largely to the students. They are not herded around like so many sheep, but are given to a very marked degree the freedom of their own judgment. Would that same system work at the University of Nebraska? Misj Moffitt thinks not. Several thous and students instead of thirty changes the nature of the adminis trative problem. Consider a field trip, it mignt oe to the Ford company's hospital, or to some other city hospital, or to a settlement house, or to one of the many clinics. In places such as these the students observe first hand the things envolved in child development. And there are plenty of subjects for child development stud es. one year, miss Moriiu said, Detroit averaged 50,000 fam ilies on the city welfare rolls. Pleasure Trips. Trips of a different nature in cluded those to the City Art insti tute, thru the Ford plant, to Michi gan State college at East Lansing to see Miss Gladys Winegar, mem ber of Ag college faculty last year, trips to this and that over the city, and biggest and best of all, a trip to New York City. One pleasant feature of school at Merrill-Palmer, Miss Mol'lit pointed out, is that there is no fixed activities program. There are no meetings that have to be at tended, no planning for this or that. The students there make their own fun. What do they do about dates? Oh, yes! That is the important thing. Well, Merrill-Palmer is an in stitution for women. But the girls find it possible to make "arrange ments." You see there is the De troit university, and then there are all those trips to hospitals where handsome young internes dominate the scene. But that is all over now. Miss Moffitt is back on Ag campus worrying about Farmers' Fair, making classs, turning in papers, etc, etc. Two other Ag college girls Genevieve Jeffries and Helen Smrha are happily off to Merrill Palmer for thia semester.

Bernice Miller Will Lead Discussion on the Life Of Jesus. Attempting to explain the pur pose of her new study group on the life of Jesus, the first session of which begins this afternoon at one o'clock in Ellen Smith hall, Miss Bernice Miller, secretary of the Y. W. C. A., says: "Our present generation Is often spoken of as economic illiterates. Perhaps it is equally true that we are biblical illiterates." In the course of the study, Miss Miller says, she will give a bio graphical survey of Jesus includ ing a discussion of eight of his outstanding teachings. To those who are interested in the life and works of Jesus the ten sessions of the course offer an opportunity to get an entire view of the life and teachings of one of the great est men in history. "Since the whole inspiration of the Y. W. C. A. comes from the social gospel of Jesus, many girls should find the groups of special interest, says Miss Miller. 'ONLY BANK CREDIT EX PANSION WILL RAISE PRICE LEVEL; GOLD STANDARD HAS LITTLE EFFECT ON IT.' STATES KARL M. ARNDT. (Continued from Page 1.) exist in bank deposits only. The public buying power is changeless as far as the regulation of the gold standard Is concerned. It is only when each individual has more dol lars that the buying power is raised and prices raised with it, "Money, he explained, has two values: an International ex change value, and a domestic value. The foreign value of the dollar, of course, depends directly on the gold content of the dollar. The domestic value depends on the price level which is greatly depend ent upon the purchasing power of the public. To devaluate the do mestic dollar, or in other words to raise the prices, more money must be put in the hands of the public. The only sane way to do this is by an expansion of credit through the banks. While this method is the only feasible one, no method of control has yet been de vised. Throughout the decline in prices in 1929 and up to the pres ent time there has been a contin ued effort to expand credit to off set the continued drop in prices. The rise in prices was noticeable by its absence. Gold and money have been di vorced," he concluded, "and no amount of juggling of the gold con tent of the dollar will greatly af fect the people of this country.

Estab lishment of a master occupational plan to provide Jobs for practically every man and woman in the United States is advocated by Professor Harold F. Clark of Co lumbia University. Writing in the Occupational Magazine, Dr. Clark declared that his proposed plan would take care of, not only the present unem ployed, but also the some 2,000,000 persons who enter occupational life each year. He recommended the creation of a central bureau to gather infor mation regarding Jobs in all sec tions of tho country.

'I'o dny'a infervlewa revcul the idea of t'ii prominent men on thla emnpita. The net article will deal with womrn'i MiiKKrHtiotis for an ideal college. Altho university seniors, seem to be, for the most part, taking and receiving everything possible from college life, and enjoying them selves to the utmost capacity, nevertheless, few of them hesitate to express themselves freely when questioned as to what their idea of an ideal college would be. "My idea of an ideal university is one in which both student and faculty members are permitted to express their opinions without fear of reproach from those in higher places, who may not agree with their beliefs," says Bernard Jenn ings who is business manager of the Daily Nebraskan. He added that liberalism best described his Utopian institution of learning. Experience has taught me that in selecting a university to look for one that takes cognizance of the fact that the world is constantly changing, and that today customs and beliefs of a few years back are antiquated." Conceptions that seniors have of the ideal college are not always logical, they do however have some ideals which would undoubtedly make for a superior school, altho they are not applicable in this uni versity. According to the editor of the college annual, the Cornhusker, Woodrow Magee, a school a fifth the size of this, where classes would be smaller and where mem bers would be selected would be much superior. "In my ideal school," continued Magee, '"no stu dents would go to school merely because their parents were finan cially able to send him or because it happens to be the custom to at tend university when they finish high school." Magee also makes the statement that in his opinion there should be no examinations during the year, and only final examinations at the end of each semester. He also ad vocates a "stiff" final exam at the end of the four years of study, 30 that a degree would be something which means more than it does al the present time, and would tak more effort to attain.
