All Work
And No Pay-
CU.NMDbKAbLt, discussion is raging
' about the campus us a result of the
failure of student NYA workers to receive pay
checks for work done during the month of Sep
tember. While a seemingly endless amount of
red tape is unwound and rewound concerning
unimportant technicalities, many of these stu
dent workers are in severe financial straits,
finding the matter of purchasing meal tickets,
paying room rent, and keeping up other ex
penses without finances a difficult thing to do.
Some students employed by NYA to be
sure will find it possible to get by temporarily
until the checks are finally released. But to a
great many more who are in the university on
the proverbial "shoestring." the delay works a
hardship which seriously interferes with not
only their peace of mind but also their uni-'
versity work.
NYA officials ascribe the delay to errors
in the payrolls as prepared by the university,
pointing out that the treasury department, in
which is vested final approving authority, in
sists on every detail being correct. As a conse
quence the payroll has made several trips to
and from the university and is still going.
While refusing to fix the blame upon the
university or any other single source, the NYA
office indicated that it expected future diffi
culties to be avoided as soon as the "inexpe
rienced" university force had accustomed it
self to the necessary payroll procedure.
This stand seems to constitute a first rate
performance of the well known pastime of
beating around the bush without getting any
where. The situation still exists and its pres
ence is inexcusable.
Why a change in procedure for dispensing
federal aid to colleges was necessary is some
thing of a puzzle in itself. Transfer of this
phase of federal relief activities to NYA is not
hard to understand but creating a maze of
technical and unnecessary regulations which
must be compiled with to the letter before
funds are released to hard pressed students is
inexcusable and a black eye for an otherwise
highly commendable movement.
For two years federal aid to students thru
financing of part time jobs has been rendered
successfully, first thru CWA in 1934, then thru
a division of the FERA in l!34-35. Now the
same program is attempted, albeit under a dif
ferent name, and is immediately plunged into
difficulties for which there seems to be no
logical excuse.
The contention that an "inexperienced"
university staff (which has only been in charge
of student relief jobs a mere two years) is re
sponsible for the delay in issuance of paychecks
is so utterlj' weak and far fetched as to be
ridiculous as ridiculous as the yards of red
tape are unnecessary.
Just what justification there may be for
holding up the money for living expenses of
sin-tost one-ninth of the student body is beyond
comprehension. The "various processes pre
scribed by the treasury department" thru
which payrolls must pass before approval are
defeating the whole purpose of the NYA cam
paign in the educational field.
If the preparation of NYA payrolls is to be
so complicated as the present state of affairs
indicates, not only the university but also the
NYA thruout the country fchould hire a force of
master minds to handle the intricate process
and make certain that comas are in their right
place, no words are misspelled, and the right
color of ink used at all times.
Incidents like this NYA difficulty engen
der and nurture the charges of red tape and
bureaucracy which are constantly hurled
against the government, apparently with just
cause oftentimes. Yet it is wife to say that NYA
leaders had no intention of seeing their far
flung program brought to an impasse by a
foolish and ponderous set of regulations. Now
that such is the case, however, step should be
taken immediately to remedy the fault and pre
vent it recurrence.
The NYA is too much needed by American
youth and extension and strengthening of its
facilities and work are too important to the
welfare of this nation to permit such trivial
end uncalled for incidents to threaten its pro
gram with nullification. Tie NYA is a wonder
ful thin? and it U to be bopd it may continue
",id expand in its operations. But to do so it
must eliminate every evidence of red tape and
eeoise an organization built on action instead
cf delay, end simplification instead of com
plexities. Most of the 773 students would not be in
the university were it cot for their NYA job.
They earn to school on a promise of work.
Their have fulfilled their end of the bargain by
dew? their 8 gned work. It i only nature!
that they are protecting failure to receive their
inney. One thing :he university does not teach
it the art of Living on nothing.
STUDENT PULSE
Brief, concise contributions pertinent to matters of
student life and the university are welcomed by this
department, under the usunf restrictions of sound
newspaper practice, which excludes all libelous matter
and personal attacks. Letters must be signed, but
names will be withheld from publication If so desired.
No Credit
For Typewriting.
Typewriting is an essential part of any
student's education. A knowledge of typing is
of material assistance to n student in whatever
course he studies. In theme work, typewriting
will save the student many precious minutes,
and neatness will be the outcome. In courses
which require term papers, a knowledge of
typewriting will be invaluable. In fact, typing
will prove beneficial to the student in any
course which requires any written work outside
of class.
When typewriting is so important, why
doesn't the university institute typewriting
courses whereby any student in any college of
the university may register and receive the
credits and benefits of typewriting courses?
True, the commercial department does have
typing classes, but only those students regis
tered in Bizad college may receive any credit
for taking those courses. Few students have
the initiative to take such a course that will
not immediately aid them toward graduation.
Since typewriting is so benencial to the
student, and since the large majority of stu
dents may not receive any credit for taking the
courses offered, the university should do one ot
two things, cither open typewriting courses to
the entire student body, at the same time al
lowing students credit toward graduation; or
make a knowledge of typewriting a require
ment before degrees are granted from the uni
versity. G.
What!
No Checks?
TO THE EDITOR:
According to the Daily Nebraskan of Oct.
15, there are 773 students employed at Ne
braska under the national youth administra
tion. Of the 773 students, 675 are undergradu
ates at work on the Lincoln campus. 43 are
graduate students, and 55 are employed at the
schools of medicine and nursing in Omaha.
The monthly payroll amounts to $10,300.
The 73 students are at work, have been
at work since school started. But the $10,360
has been only a mirage as yet. The employes
need the money, or they would not be working
under the NYA. Each individual case is inves
tigated, each application is checked, before
jobs are granted. If an applicant does not need
the work, he does not get it. Just because he
has been given a job does not mean his need
for the money has lessened, and at this writing,
no checks have been issued.
Last year the checks were issued promptly
and were distributed in a seemingly satisfac
tory manner. This year the method ot dis
tribution of checks has been changed three
times. What does this signify! Is it significant
of a real desire for a more efficient method, or
is it a stall for time, the money not having
been received by the university as yet T It must
be confessed that no one seems to know just
what or why the delay is.
The NYA assistance is enabling many to
go to school that would otherwise not have the
opportunity, and is thereby of obvious merit.
But the jobs themselves will do no concrete
good unless there is some form of remunera
tion forthcoming from them to take care of
necessities. The workers will without doubt ne
paid eventually, but the question is when.
Even now, many of those students who have
been looking forward to and depending upon
those checks are in very straightened circum
stances because of this delay. Each day the
situation becomes more and more serious.
Seven hundred and seventy-three students
are waiting and hoping for those checks to
come. Seven hundred and seventy three stu
dents eagerly thumb thru the mail each morn
ing in hopes of finding there the lone awaited
envelope. Seven hundred and seventy-three
students have so far been disappointed each
dav. D- S.
Too Much Kosmet Klub.
TO TH EEDITOR:
Being a member of Kosmet Klub appears
to be one of the greatest activities on the Uni
versity of Nebraska campus. It has been
shown in the past that a member of Kosmet
Klub has a greater chance of being chosen fr
the senior honorary society than a junior in
any other activity.
The Kosmet Klub is not an important
enough organization to warrant this power. It
does nothing but sponsor a fall review, the tal
ent of which is supplied and cultivated by the
fraternities and sororities themselves, and put
on a musical comedy in the spring. Most of the
major parts of this show are taken by students
who are not members of the club. The fact that
the same fraternities are represented in the or
ganization year after year suggests that ability
and merit are not the sole qualifications for
membership.
The Daily Nebraskan issues a newspaper
five times a week. The Awgwan staff releases
a quality humor magazine once each month and
the Cornhusker organization publishes a year
book that is treasured for many years by all
who purchase it. The members of the staffs of
these three publications are selected by a pul
lication board composed not only of students
but also of faculty member. They are chosen
because of ability, ambition, merit and scholas
tic standing. Still a member of one of these
staffs has not the rating of a Kosrnet Klub
meruler, apparently.
Members of the student council are se
lected as the result of a general election of the
student lody. The council has important func
tions, such as conducting these and other elec
tions and representing the school in dealings
with outside agencies, the faculty and the re
pents, in addition to the administration itself.
Yet a Kosmet Klub member hat more pretige,
especially with the senior men's honorary, than
does a member of the student council.
It is not in keeping with the principles of
a university of a representative state in a dem
ocratic country tbut members of an organiza
tion, not democratic, should have more power
and a higher position on the campus than stu
dents who have aUained responsible positions
on quality publications and thone who repre
sent the students in general as their choice in
the organization authorized to act for these
student with all outside influences. it. J.
Interclub Council and Barb
A.W.S. League Arrange
Party for Nov. 1.
Plans for a Carnival Dance to be
sponsored Jointly by the Interclub
Council and Barb A. W. S. League,
were formulated when the two
groups held a meeting recently.
Date for the party was set for Fri
day, Nov. 1.
Committees to arrange for the
affair are: Jim Riianess, floor
manager; Elizabeth Edison, con
cession; Eleanor Oldfather, re
freshments; Rowena Swenson and
Ruthe Fulton, chaperons; Paul
Rader, properties; Bob Harrison,
orchestra; Dorcas Crawford, en
tertainment; Gretchen Budd, tick
ets; Doris Weaver and Wllber
Beezley, advertising.
Last year the two groups spon
sored several parties and officers
expressed hope that they can do
the same this year.

Sarah Louise Meyer
OF all condemnations we have
ever heard,, crudest is that
voiced by a charwoman in
"Punch." Cried she at the neigh
bor with whom she was having
her outs: "There U ladies and
there is ladies and you is neither
of them."
It's so long since we have donned
our fancy froppery and gone a-vis-iting
that possibly you-all had be
gun to figure as how personalities
were becoming extinct on this here
campus so to speak. That, of
course, is not the case not while
there are Howard Dobsons about.
However, some of the more fas
cinating things to saunter down
"R" street are pedantically classi
fied as inanimate. Several weeks
ago there sailed, majestically and
unnoticed, thru the collegiate thor
ofare a genuine tractor. With dig
nity and deliberateness it passed
the institutions and hangouts of
the school, paused for the traffic
lights, and rolled onward.
But a few days ago a steam
shovel followed the same path.
Slow and certain it made its way
thru the heavy student traffic of
pedestrians and hit and run driv
ers. It was no ordinary steam
shovel; it was glistening white,
small and dainty.
No one saw it. no one cared.
Poor little, pretty .little steam
shovel.
THE most awful thing that could
result from the disastrous Af
rican situation has resulted: Puns.
Dons Buell and Friedlcy disgrace
their Yale backgrounds, the Betas
follow careful precedent, and
everyone groans.
The worst case concerns the
Ethiopian love song, ' Hai-le Se
lassie ' (as fair as can be), and the
sad fate of the emperor, who is
heading for Se-la&sie round up. Oh
my augusc awnt ?
We never watch a bus beep out
of the depot without bing stricken
with wanderlust and curvature
of the spine.
We never ix-e beautiful steel
cabinets reposing on the library
lawn without sensing an urge to
collect things to put in them.
And we never witness female
eampaignings without wondering

It was a male who. years ago,
commented quotatively:
"Women, like the touted wphinx.
Sits, and God knows what she
