Slashed
Again.
UNIVERSITY appropriations provided almost the
only one of contention as the lower house of
the Nebraska legislature sat in committee of the
w'.iole on the finance committee's report on the
budget for the coming biennium.
Coming out on the floor of the house generally
pared down from the governor's recommendations,
the general appropriations bill did not exempt the
university. Whereas Governor Cochran had recom
mended $3,584,600 for the university, the committee
report scheduled $3,442,180 with $375,000 specific
ally earmarked for the College of Medicine in
Omaha.
Movements to further slash university approp
riations were in evidence early this week, but they
were fought down and the bill went to third reading
substantially as it came from the committee rooms.
And thus, unless the upper house attempts and
succeeds in pushing across a higher figure for the
university, the school will enter into another bien
nium seriously handicapped. That predicament,
however, is nothing new. It has been In that fix for
the past two years. Faculty members have endured
a severe salary cut; activities have been radically
curtailed.
During the next biennium the school is stared
In the face by rising commodity costs and an in
creased enrollment. The need for larger funds is
becoming more than imperative if the university is
to serve the state in the manner which it should.
L, : '
The absolute necessity of a state educational
Institution surely can be realized. It has a definite
"responsibility to the people of the state a responsi
bility, as the Omaha World-Herald declares, "to
provide technical and professional instruction to Ne
braska's boys and girls, to train the state's youth
for the hard tasks of leadership, and to develop
citizens who can carry on efficiently the world's
work in these trying times."
These activities and services of the university
cannot be carried on during the next two years with
anywhere near maximum efficiency under continued
curtailed appropriations. The figure recommended
by Governor Cochran was a half million below the
sum asked by the Board of Regents. And yet it
was possible that the school, without restoring
badly slashed salaries, might have continued limp
ing along.
Any appropriation lower than that, however,
places the university in a dangerous position. A
figure 140 thousand dollars less than the gover
nor's figure is provided for by the appropriation bill,
with a goodly sum going to open charity wards In
the University hospital at Omaha. How the uni
versity can contlnLj to function properly has be
come a matter for alarm.
Several items of far less importance than the
education of the state's young people were given
boosts by the finance committee over the gover
nor's recommendations. Such action in face of the
university's crying need cannot be understood.
The university has already been forced to re
duce, to some degree, its high standards. Whether
Nebraska will continue to have a ranking educa
tional Institution or whether it will allow its school
to be squeezed out by the pressure of financial dif
ficulties is a matter for serious thought before the
final legislative stamp of approval is placed on the
general appropriations bill.
Unother
Explanation.
MORE discussion on the peace strike that never
materialized on the Nebraska campus is pre
sented in the Student Pulse. Notwithstanding W. C
H.s diatribe and G. S. M.'s supplementary argu
ments the Daily Nebraskan still maintains that stu
dent pacifists, in participating in a "strike," are
attacking their problem from the wrong angle.
The word "outburst" in Senator Nye's quotation
is the first reason that opposition is offered to the
idea. Any show of mob spirit or of violence such
as Is always present in a movement of this sort
la bound to have a derogatory effect, both on the
peace movement and on the colleges as a whole.
In the second place, a "strike" offers an excel
lent opportunity for the radical element to get in
its blows. In fact, on many campuses the move
ment was led by students who have been noted in
the past for their radicalism. And the Daily Ne
braskan maintains that radicalism in any form or
to any location is decidedly out of place.

The Strike
Still Lives.
TO THE EDITOR:
YTITH the further clearing of the smoke I won-
der If the results of the student strike againft
the war system still count up to exactly nothing.
When considering the aim the only posslb pur
pose of such a demonstration that of expresS a
growing anti-war viewpoint the results seem more
gratifying. In fact of the forces which the editor
so realistically perceives only such a dramatic pre
sentation can draw attention to this changed atti
tude. Insofar as the effectiveness of such an under
taking could only be effective if prosecuted on a
nationwide scale, such substitutes as convocations
would seem to prove inadequate.
Such a keen mind and practical worker for
peace as Senator Nye recognized this when he said
In regard to the then proposed student strike, "The
student strike of April 12 is not futile, as some peo
ple seem to think. A strong demonstration will
have the salutory effect of convincing jingoista of
the task they will have on their hands If they at
tempt to force the youth of this nation into an
other war. A unified and simultaneous movement
on a national scale will have a far greater effect
than has ever been obtained by occasional inde
pendent outbursts."
With such comment as the strike has received
in the press it must be conceded that the results
have been other than nil. Those forces working on
cur campus in this direction may well take the
slapping which W. C. H. gave to them. G. S. M.

parties written by their national chairmen for the

V
BY HON. HENRY P. FLETCHER.
(Chairjian, Republican National Committee)
'HE young men and women of college age are
weighing the two great parties in the balance.
The Republican party welcomes the comparison.
The historic Democratic party has left its moorings
and under the flag of the "New Deal" is sailing
out into the sea of socialistic experimentation.
During the past two years it has tried many
nostrums and short cuts to cure the depression. As
each one fails it tries another, even more reckless.
Its motto seems to be " L'audace at encore L'au
dace." Every student of history knows that policy
led France thru the depths to the dictatorship of
Napoleon.
The planned economy of the Wallaces, Warrens
and Tugwells (and the president is responsible for
their acts and must approve their public utterances
or he would dismiss them) is merely a "New Deal"
version of the Marxian philosophy.
No one questions the good intentions and high
ideals of the administration. Catchy phrases, such
as the "more abundant life," appeal to the youth of
the countrv who are eager to follow "Emerson's
advice and hitch their wagons to the stars. But the
workaday world is of the earth, earthy. The multi
plication table cannot be repealed or disregarded.
One cannot cure economic maladjustments and the
dislocations of technology by squandering the na
tion's patrimony. The economics of scarcity, im
practical and absurd in the best of times, is tragic
in the face of continuing unemployment and the
staggering load of public relief.
All admit that our economic system, which was
rot seriously challenged until the country was i
rocked by the world economic crisis in 1929, was
abused and offered to corporate wealth and corpo
rate management, to stock exchange gamblers and
parasites in our body politic, vast opportunities for
chicanery, criminal greed and corruption. But it
should also be recorded that the great bulk of our
business men under this system are honest, high
minded citizens who, while making their living or
their fortune also made this country great and pros- j
perous. The American economic system should not !
be condemned because it was betrayed. The Ameri- j
can revolution also had its traitors and profeteers.
I
The Republican party believes that there is no
substitute for work and thrift. It believes the
laborer is worthy of his hire and has the right to j
keep and enjoy the fruits of his labor. It is con- :
cerned with the preservation of an economic system i
which encourages the individual to practice thrift
and industry, to create wealth and to use it legiti
mately for the promotion of the welfare of all the j
people and the development of the country.
The Republican party recognizes, at the same
time, that conditions are constantly changing and
that practices and methods must be changed to meet
these new conditions. But it believes that the re
forms and changes which are needed can and should
be made within the framework of our federal con
stitution. They should be based upon mature study, j
taking into account the complexity of our national ,
life as well as the experience of other nations. We j
believe that true progress can be made only in this
way.
The "New Deal" calls Itself progressive. It is
not progressive. It is radical. There is a differ
ence. Progresslvism means progress in that you
hold advances made, but radicalism Is always fol
lowed by a backward swing of the pendlum, so that
in the end It is reactionary. However, it must be
admitted that radicalism has the attraction of ad
venture, but It is the adventure which follows a
will o' the wisp. The hasty measures of the "New
Deal" are leading us farther into the swamp.
The only basis upon which progress and reform
can be effected is that of sound political and eco
nomic policies. Judged by that standard, the Re
publican party is progressive. Contradictory tho it
may sound, it is progressive because it has been
conservative, in that It has always sought to con
serve what has been proved sound and good out of
the experiences of our national existence.
The Republican party Is not conservative If by
that is meant the saving and sheltering of privilege
and greed. It is not conservative if by that is
meant It stands for special favors to a few Indi
viduals or to special classes.

armor, trappings, lighting effects,
and all the various paraphernalia
required to stage it in a complete
and elaborate manner," according
to John K. Selleck, director of stu
dent activities. "The scores of the
opera have been studied this se
mester by members of the chorus
and the performance is given
mainly to give them a more thoro
understanding of the opeia," he
continued, "but to make it have an
attraction for the general public
we are bringing outstanding musi
cians to sing the leading roles."
Werrenrath Heads Cast
Reinald Werrenrath, the world
famous Danish baritone, will head
the cast, singing the role ot
"Amonasro, King of Ethiopia." He
was for several seasons one of the
first stars of the Metropolitan Op
era company of New York. For a
decade he has been acclaimed as
the dean of recital artists, appear
ing upon practically every major
concert series in the entire world.
For the past two seasons he has
been on Broadway, as the star of
"Castles in the Air." This is the
first time he has toured in opera
outside of New York and Atlanta,
Ga., with the Metropolitan com
pany, having been secured for a
special engagement by the festival
forces.
Barbara Barlys Plays Alda.
The role of Aida will be played
by Barbara Barlys, who won
laurels in the role of "La Gia-
conda." Others who will make up
the cast are Myron Duncan who
will sing the part of Rhadames;
Kathryn Browne, Amneris; Teodor
Lovich, king; and James Wolfe,
Ramphls, another member of the
Metropolitan opera company.
The tenor part of a "Messenger"
will be sung by Parvin Witte, in
structor of voice and director of
the glee club, and another minor
soprano role, that of "High Pries
tess," will be announced later by
Howard Kirkpatrick wno is di
recting the production as well as
the University Symphony orches
tra. Members of the university
football team will be seen in the
roles of guards in the production
and members of the band, under the
direction of Billy Quick, will take
part in the Triumphal march.
This general plan for presenting
large productions with the Festival
Opera company is an innovation in
music circles, making possible such
productions as habitually require
a $5 admission price, for but a
fraction of the usual fee. This Is
the company's eighth season of
performing in this manner, having
played from coast to coast and
border to border in that time.
Kirkpatrick Predicts Success.
According to Mr. Kirkpatrick. it
should prove even more of a suc
cess than the other parts ot operas
that were presented in Lincoln this
season. The general policy is that
Mr. Cramer, with his company,
brings all portions of the produc
tion necessary to impost, and uses
all possible locally, thus avoiding
the tremendous expense normally
invlved, altho maintaining the
high standard of artists desired.

conditions prevalent in other col
lege book exchanges as to the type
ot texts, the features causing
losses, and the general method of
management has been carried on
by Lorraine Hitchcock, a member
of he council committee. Dick
Fischer, another member, is con
tinuing his correspondence with na
tional exchanges in an effort to
find an outlet for books no longer
used.
Planning tentatively for an inter-collegiate
book exchange or
ganization, the students working
on the project have been gleaning
ideas from their correspondence
with other schools. The details of
the plan which they intend to sub
mit for approval will be announced
later.
Faculty Response Favorable.
Response from the faculty, who
were asked for their co-operation
in case the proposed bookstore be
came a reality, has been very grati
fying, said Miss Selleck.
This attempt to secure a co-operative
book exchange for the
campus is the result of a recent
poll of other universities in the
country taken by the committee. It
was found that three-fourths of
the schools have such exchanges.
One half of those not possessing
this type of book store are striving
for a remedy. The other half have
privately owned book stores which
have brought profits down to a
reasonable level.

ried on by a professor at Johns

In our efforts. In my opinion, the
whole future of the drive rests en
tirely in the way Btudents respond
to our plan for support.
Members of th committee said
interest in the campaign was
mounting, not only on the part of
students but also of alumni and
faculty members. Tentative sup
port of more than fifty organiza
tions has already been pledged by
presidents of the groups, who at
tenaed Ui recent mans meeting,
and It was expected that the re
mainder would fall into line this
week as the petitions axe circulated.
The committee issued a call for
any students having ideas or Wis
gestions concerning the campaign
to submit them to any member of
the committee.
