Student Opinion
And the Library.
A factor that will play an important role in the
campaign for the new library on this campus is stu
dent opinion. If students remain apathetic as they
are now, this school will wait a long time for a new
library building. If the student body awakens to
'the fact that it is being neglected and expresses its
"dissatisfaction with present conditions, erection of
new structure for housing of the university's books
Kill come about in a comparatively short time.
" Campus opinion among students is now divided
a to interest between the Student Union building
Heed and the more important necessity of a library
building befitting a school of this size. If opinion
and interest remains divided neither building will
be obtained.
It is obvious that we need both a suitable li
brary building and a student union building in which
campus extra-curricular activities will be centered.
Two weeks ago the Nebraskan suggested a solution
for the problem, a solution providing for the satis
faction of both demands. In regard to this problem
the editor of the Nebraskan stated in the Sunday,
Nov. 25 edition of the Nebraskan as follows:
"It seems that it would be quite impossible for
the state legislature, even with abundant federal
help, to fund erection of both a library and Student
Union building. The library naturally should come
first So what shall we do about the Student Union
building Idea?
"Out at Denver university they were faced with
the same problem several months ago. They finally
succeeded in securing a new library, but a Student
Union building was out of the question at that time.
Ingenious students proceeded to campaign for the
remodeling of the library Into a suitable Student
Union structure.
"Since a new Student Union building is entirely
out of the question with the most pressing need be
ing that of a new library, why don't we start urging
primarily erection of a new library, and the remodel
ing of the old library into a Student Union build
ing? Such a plan would be practical, for in the li
brary building there are rooms of various size?,
suitable for both office and party rooms."
Student opinion must rally behind the board of
regents, the campus administration, and Head Li
brarian Doane in their effort to secure this much
needed library. Letters written to the Nebraskan
editor and to the head librarian will probably be
saved and bound in pamphlet form to be presented
to the legislature. Student demand will mean a lot
in the eyes of legislators, especially if that demand
is reflected by parents of students throughout the
state of Nebraska.
Since a library Is the central unit of a univer
sity, the axis around which all education revolves,
it is absolutely imperative that improvement comes
forth here at Nebraska immediately.
STUDENT PULSE
Brief, concise contributions pertinent to matters of
student life and the university are welcomed by thia
department, under the usual restriction of sound news
paper practice, which excludes all liVelous matter and
personal attacks. Letters must be slfrned, but names
nill be withheld from publication If ao desired.
Contributions should bs limited to a maximum of fire
hundred words In length.
Red-baiters Should
Read Constitution.
TO THE EDITOR:
It seems to me that O'Sullivan, the red-baiter,
knows very little about the Constitution and appears
to be presenting, under the guise of the Constitution
and "Americanism," the propaganda of Nazism and
Fascism. He has forgotten, or never knew, that the
Constitution intends to set up a government to "pro
mote the general welfare" to "secure the blessings
of liberty to ourselves and our posterity," and he
seems to have never read the Bill of Rights con
tained in the first ten amendments. I would like to
suggest that his Americanism is so tinged with R.
O. T. C. "Hitlerism" that he never even heard of the
Declaration of Independence which states that any
government that becomes oppressive or tyrannical
may be overthrown by the people if they so desire.
Taking the editor's figures as perhaps a fair
estimate of the extent of communists and radical
students, it would seem that although the govern
ment may not be promoting the general welfare
(for all), it has not yet become so oppressive that
its overthrow is imminent. Considering the trend
from 1914 to 1934, it would seem that the tendency
has been in that direction, and certainly the attempt
of O'Sullivan and the rest of the frothing militarists
to subvert the Constitution in order to stamp out
free speech, free press, petition for redress of griev
ances, peaceable assemblage, etc., will, by their very
attitude, tend to encourage and increase the num
ber of radical students, and, as a consequence,
American communism will become stronger.
Has the suspension and expulsion of liberal and
radical students in California, New York, and "Dic
tator" Long's Louisiana stopped the development of
the radicals and reds ?
A Working Student.
CHANTS
BY CHANCE.
"Yellow Jack," the unusual
drama of adventure, history, and
achievement In the field of medi
cine which opens Jan. 14, is off
to a good start. Altho the play has
no leads, there are eight outstand
ing characters, four soldiers and
the other four medical men. As
one of the scientists, Armand
Hunter dies and Dwight Perkins
nearly does. Hank Kosman In the
part of O'Harra, the Irish soldier
who offers his life for experi
mental purposes, Is the most un
ique of the four soldiers. Twelve
other soldiers furnish atmosphere
for the play. Era Lown will be Dr.
Walter Reed, who conducts the
battle against yellow fever. A
quartet composed of Russell Gil
man, William Miller, Alfred Relder
and Don Jackson will sing old
fashioned songs such as "Hot Time
In the Old Town Tonight" and
Spanish American war songs.
Generally speaking, more care
and time than usual are being
spent on seta for this production.
Some of the, outstanding scenes
will be Dr. Reed's laboratory,
which stays on the stage thruout
the play; an army hospital, a tent
camp, the home of a native doc
tor In Cuba, army bat racks, a la
boratory in London and one in
South America; a scene in the
"dirty house" and twenty others.
The acenes are mostly small and
are shown in an Impressionistic
fashion similar to movie scenes.
Props are being procured from
the science department and mili
tary department as well as down--Cown
stores and co stumers. Adela
Tombrink as the only girl in the
"east, will wear a nurse's costume.
Most of the other costumes will be
doctor's medical uniforms and
soldier's uniforms of the Spanish
American war period.

Psalter of 1457.
Development of Title Page.
The display illustrates the de
velopment of this page, including
the shield design added by Schoef
fer to attract the attention of the
reader. From this nucleus, th..
variety of printers' marks grew
into a distinct field, and eventually
the title page appeared. Originally
wood cuts were used, but they were
displaced by the more satisfactory
steel engravings because of the
ease with which the latter might be
kept in place.
Alius Manutius of Venice, and
the Stephanus or EUenne family of
Paris are cited in the exhibit as
the most famous early connoiseurs
of fine printing. Pickering Morris,
and the Grollier club are among
the modern artists in this field.
Designs Vary.
Printers' designs vary in style,
Germany preferring neraldric em
blems, England using puns on the
printer's name or place of work
and still other countries adhering
to geometrical or angular addi
tions to the cross.
Miss Craig refers students who
are Interested In this subject to
"A Treatise on Title Pages." by
De Vlnne. The pre.'ace of this book
contains the following view of the
subject:
"Title pages may seem too trifl
ing to be discussed at any length,
and yet the impression made by
that page is not to be undervalued.
It is the page first Inspected, and
it attracts or repels at a glance.
If it does attract, praise or pur
chase may follow; if it does not,
the book is usually closed un
bought, and is ever after remem
bered with dislike, which will ding
to the edition."
Difference In Old, New Styles.
The preface also explains the
difference in the old elaborate and
the new plain types of title page.
"Grotesque types and medieval
methods now in fashion are seldom
wisely selected for new book, for
charm la destroyed when printed
on dry, machine-made paper. Mod
ern books, like the modern bouse,
should be the outgrowth of our
time and consistent in Its features."

The university has sent upecl
mens in which the children are
especially interested and which are
easily studied thru the sense of
touch. A big brown bear in stand
ing position beside the trunk of a
tree was one of the gifts. Speci
mens of birds included owls, ducks,
bitterns, mud hens, hawks, gulls,
and geese. Two weasels (animals
well known in music circles) also
went along.
There were star fish, sea urch
ins, and large corals, and certain
Geodes from the Badlands, which
are often known as nature's rattle
boxes because of loose crystals in
them which rattle when they are
shaken.
