Let's Start
On the Campus.
MEBRASKA alumni in "Washington last week
1N heard Chancellor Burnett advocate a
building program for the university and dis
close plans for establishment of a "university,
foundation" to receive gifts for the school.
Calling attention to inadequate housing facili
ties, underpaid faculty, and increasing enroll
ment of the university, the chancellor indicat
ed that problems arising from these conditions
could never be satisfactorily solved until a
small state tax levy was instituted to insure a
steady income for the school.
Two admirable avenues of action have
thus been set forth by the chancellor along
which the university may move to achieve
first the material betterment in equipment and
facilities which under our system of mass edu
cation must precede the intellectual revitah
ration which certainly is demanded by the
sheer incompetence of many worn and out
moded educational practices in use here and
elsewhere today. .
The first of these, the university founda
tion, will probably be established next Charter
day, Feb. 15, when Nebraska alumni will gath
er throughout the state and nation for annual
exercises. The second, the state tax levy,
which would be a near-panacea for Nebraska's
financial ills, obviously will require much time
and effort to be realized. A strong campaign
in behalf of both, however, could be and should
be waged simultaneously for their purpose is
common and their prospective source of sup
port is the same.
; Too evident it is that the state university
is not cherished to any great extent either by
tHe citixens of Nebraska or even by its own
alumni The stormy legislative battles which
havo ensued the past several years over the
ntatter of university appropriations is proof
enough of the existence of widespread senti
ment antagonistic to the university. And the
Nebraskan has previously pointed out the lack
of alumni interest in the university as evi
denced by the almost complete absence of gifts,
bequests, and endowments to this school,
whereas others throughout the state and na
tion are oft-remembered.
For a state which prides itself as one of
the most progressive and independent among
those of this nation, the plight of the Univer
sity of Nebraska today is beyond question a
black eye. The very outward appearance of
the Nebraska campus is a disgrace to the
boasted eminence of the state. Many of our
buildings are tottering and decaying, our class
rooms are overcrowded, inadequate, and ill
equipped. What new buildings we have are
square and straight, rising from the ground
like shoeboxes with no architectural beauty,
grace, or refinement. Within they are the
same. There is no inducement for the student
to linger and study or contemplate education
beyond the bours of his elasses.
The grounds, especially of the newer por
tion of the campus, are barren, partially sod
ded but worn bare where student feet make
hasty shortcuts to class. There are few trees,
little shrubbery, none of the natural beauty
and cultural surroundings which should grace
a university.
Fundamentally, the university is sick. In
tellectual curiosity among students on the
campus is almost an unknown thing, and one
needs look only to the underpaid and inade
quate faculty corps to realize one of the prin
cipal reasons for this difficulty. Many of Ne
braska's best instructors have left for fields
where education is more respected and where
it is given an opportunity to meet the chal
lenge of changing conditions. It is a matter
of speculation how long we can hold the com
petent professors who yet remain with us.
These and many more deplorable deficien
cies the university has fallen heir to and to
make the problem more difficult, indications
point to a continued increase in enrollment to
make the trouble more severe in the future.
Little wonder that the university administra
tion is finally planning concerted action to bol
ster the university's negleeted cause. . Certain
ly if ever a right-about-face in the attitude of
alumni and citizens of this state were ever
seeded it is today.
The question suggests itself, however,
whether the university administration has not
overlooked one tremendously important ally in
its past efforts and apparently in its future
plans to win from the state the consideration
it rightly deserves. While it has busied itcelf
with eai&paifcff among alumni and friend of
the school, has it not failed to enlist the sup
port of its own students to fight its battles
here and in the far corner of the statef If it
has tried, apparently the result has not been
favorable. And if it contemplates such a move,
the question arises as to whether it would be
rictewfnl todaay.
Six thousand students, going back to their '
cogftgyjUea; full of jTsi fog the naiysraiti,
working actively in its behalf and fostering its
interests, could constitute, in conjunction with
alumni supporters, one of the most powerful
lobbies of the state. But 6,000 students, re
turning to their homes as the Nebraskan feels
confident they do today, apathetically, without
love for the university and with no considera
tion for its future welfare, stand as a barrier
to such moves as the administration now con
templates. ' The Nebraskan feels that much of the
blame for the university's present unfortunate
state may be laid at its own doorstep because
students have been treated more as just "one
of many," another customer, instead of an
integral part of the institution. The adminis
tration has sought to restrict and restrain stu
dents on too many different occasions and in
too many fields of endeavor. Obsolete rules
which should have been tossed into the ash
can decades ago still pertain to today's stu
dents. The university has failed to realize
that its students are approaching maturity
and continues to shackle them with regula
tions which well befit adolescents. They are
given small measure of responsibility or self
determination. There has been no adequate attempt to
provide students with the intellectual and cul
tural opportunities which should exist outside
and beyond the classroom. Their opportunity
for social contacts and formation of friend
ships has been almost nil unless they have
joined Greek letter organizations. There is
no refuge on the campus to which a student
can repair for rest or recreation or entertain
ment, no place that organizations or student
enterprises may call their home or headquar
ters. What enjoyment they have, students
have created themselves. Only in football and
other athletics have ties that bind student to
alma mater been formed, and were it not for
these and Greek affiliations our present mea
ger alumni enrollment would doubtless be re
duced to a shadow of its present inadequate
self.
Students of Nebraska do not feel that the
university is working with them but rather
against them in many cases. Student requests
for obvious needs have been too often passed
over lightly, such as bookstore and union
building, the latter on the excuse that it would
cost studentns an extra assessment. Yet the
administration lost little time in levying an
extra dollar medical fee for a student health
service which few students want and which
many have no confidence in and will never use.
This procedure has been repeated too often in
other realms of university-student relations to
leave a good taste in student mouths. And
from out this environment has come a feeling
on the part of students that the university is
but a place where one goes to work or get by
for four years, restrained and restricted by
many unpleasant rules, until a diploma is final
ly won with which to challenge the world.
In the face of this sentiment among the
student body (which the Nebraskan feels ex
ists altogether too really), the administration
plans to wage a campaign for support through
out the state. The Nebraskan questions wheth
er such campaigns can ever bear their full
measure of fruit unless working hand in hand
Lwth the university is the student body, rally-

families and through them their communities.
a
The contacts which students make through
their home should be seized upon by the uni
versity as a valuable opportunity to start the
ball rolling toward the goal of a university
foundation and a state tax levy. Actual insti
tution of the foundation or the levy move may
wait until a later date but their establishment
should be urged "today, tomorrow, without
fdelay.
Tomorrow students go home for Thanks
giving and a month later are home ajfain for
two weeks. What a blow could be struck in
behalf of the university if these students weht
home dedicated to building up support in their
communities for the university! What possi
bilities lie here for creating a pro-university
feeling among prospective members of the
next legislature and through channels which
would permit the university to remain out of
politics as it should.
The university should take steps to see
that this potential source of aid is utilized to
its full extent. It may require liberalization
of faculty and administrative concepts of stu
dent relations and activities but this should re
sult anyway. A satisfied and enthusiastic
student body is the best advertisement the uni
versity could have. The university would do
well to work toward that end first in its com
ing campaigns for support.

TO THE EDITOR:
I would like to make two suggestions to
the committee in charge of the Military balL
They are:
First: That the honorary colonel be es
corted by a real soldier; by a soldier who has
experienced the "glories" of war; by a soldier
who has lost a leg or an arm in military action.
Second: That other maimed soldiers, sol
diers who will never walk again, soldiers who
will never see again; soldiers whose minds
have been affected by poisonous gases; sol
diers who would be better off dead than alive;
that these soldiers be given a prominent place
in the coliseum on the night of the Military
ball so that all may see the true effects of war.
I submit these suggestions to the commit
tee becacoyr j fMi that the faculty members
and the students of the University of Nebraska
should be shown something realistic instead of
the dress parade and tinsels of war. While
the military department does its best to en
trench in the minds of the students the glories
of war, let's have a few of the many living
examples of the effects of war in view lest
we forget 1
Let everyone keep in mind that by taking
part jn the Military ball, however small this
pa.t may be, he is encouraging not a beautiful
thing as he is made to believe, but war which
takes the lives of millions arid which leaves
tho&tanda of others wishing that their lives
might alavo hM bu taken, E- L. H.

adjournment of the legislature Saturday night.
The house was through and waiting for the
senate, since by law one house cannot adjour.ii
without the consent of the other, when it
learned that the senate had quit for the night
and was returning Monday morning. So the
lower branch followed suit at 1:45 n. m. The
clocks in both houses had been stopped at
11:50 p. in., the members expecting to be
through before sunrise Sunday.
e
Inadequate Definition of
the motor fuels to be taxed in II. R. b' was the
cause of the disagreement. Western Nebras
kans wanted the elimination from the tax bill
of the words, "natural gasoline" because it
was confusing and might result in the taxation
of tractor fuel. Some members contended that
the provisions in the measure would have to be
corrected or it would be declared unconstitu
tional. The fact that exemption from tax of
alcohol-blend gas was included in a bill sub
mitted by one of the four joint conference
committees was the subject of discussion and
consideration for unconstitutionality.

Otherwise the Slate
had been cleaned by sending to the governor
the old age pension bill, the child and mater
nal health bill, the Lusienske bill appropriat
ing $5,000 for expenses in possible suits aris
ing from insurance investigations and the
house bill directing Attorney General Wright
to defend members of the banking committee
in the $50,000 libel suit filed by Franz Radke
and appropriating $2,500 for the expense of
that defense.
All Phases of the
federal social security program except unem-
nlnvmpnt. insnrnncfl nre covered by nets of the
special session. This includes old age pensions,
blind pensions, aid to crippled children, relief
for unemployed, child and maternal welfare
work, sanitation and preventive medicine ac
tivities and-increased vocational rehabilitation
service for disabled persons. The program,
which will start in January or February and
last not later than June 30, 1937, will be fi
nanced by gasoline tax, 1 million dollars from
liquor and beer taxes, and $40,000 from the
general fund, in addition to which the federal
government will furnish about 5 million dol
lars. Telephone Conversation With
Washington officials revealed that elimination
of the liens section of the old age pension bill
would not bar Nebraska from federal funds.
The senate had refused to approve the bill as
long as the amount of assistance a pensioner
might get could be held by the srate as lien
against the property owned by that person.
The federal officials had recommended the
lien.
Motor Vehicle Owners
will no longer be able to operate their ma
chines until they have pajd the personal taxes
on them. Gov. R. L. Cochran signed and made
a law the bill previously passed by both
houses prohibiting the licensing of motor ve
hicles until the personal taxes on them for the
previous year have been paid. Governor Coch
ran is delaying action on a companion meas
ure, setting up machinery for operation of the
licensing law, until it is carefully checked.
Unemployment Compensation
was definitely postponed by the present legis
lature in the house's killing the bill for its
provision by a vote of 50 to 34. The senate
nad earlier defeated a similar bill by a narrow
margin. Nebraska will not participate in the
federal unemployment program until the next
legislature meets, but there are many indica
tions that it will be necessary for the state to
shoulder ""the inevitable obligation when the
next solons assemble, all in one house, at the
state capital.

Organization.
Majors in sociology will hear
Kenneth Woods of the Lancaster
County Relief Bureau speak at
their regular monthly luncheon at
the Grand hotel Tuesday noon.
The subject of his address will be
'An Experiment in Community
Organization."
Mr. Woods has worked out an
interesting leisure time program in
west Lincoln, based on his exper
ience as relief worker there. The
matter has attracted unusual at
tention among local social workers
since he has utilized so fully the
resources within the community
and since it appears that the pro
gram is chiefly responsible for the
reduction of some major social
problems within the community.
Reservations for the luncheon
should be made by Monday eve
