Mr. Chapman
Goes Home.
TN WEDNESDAY evening's paper, Freder
1 ick Ware, Omaha World-Herald sports
editor, takes a pot shot at somebody or several
somebodies in the Nebraska athletic depart
ha rlonnrfnrft from school of Ken-
neth Chapman, varsity hurdler and sprinter, j
That the boy could nave ana snouia n b
given an opportunity thru work to remain
in school is Mr. Ware's contention, and in
closing he asserts that there have been similar
instances which have lost athletic talent for
Nebraska.
Mr. Ware never hit the nail more squarely
on the head in anything he ever wrote. Early
last fall the Nebraskan mildly expressed dis
satisfaction with the way jobs were being
handed out by the athletic department and
subsequent investigation reveals that
some of the tactics in use this year and m
previous years are certainly out of place.
Preferring to leave personalities out of our
argument, (altho we have the specific data
at hand in case our contentions require proof)
the Daily Nebraskau charges that unwar
ranted favoritism and discrimination has been
employed in handing out athletic jobs at Ne
braska. It is not a sudden development of
this year. It is a practice which is of sev
eral years' standing. '
Favoritism is a pretty difficult thing to
prove. But its effect in dispensing jobs here
is pretty well indicated by the number of
promising men who have asked for jobs and
been refused, while certain favorite athletic
luminaries were given work whether they
needed it or not. We have in mind several
cases of varsity performers who obviously
have been capable of paying their way thru
the university, but have been handed jobs on
a silver platter by the athletic department.
We have in mind a number of instances where
Lincoln athletes, their room and board and
other expenses assured them at home, were
nevertheless favored over out-state men who
had but little money and no opportunity to
get a job. We have in mind a number of
cases where individuals not even in the uni
versity some who will never attend the uni
versity, have been given work that rightly
belonged to athletes who needed employment.
We have in mind a number of miscellaneous
instances in which nought but favoritism,
seems to have played a part. And in passing
we might mention that this favoritism has
not always been confined to awarding jobs;
it has crept into actual choice of teams, and
into games.
The athletic department may say that
the specific case mentioned is an isolated
case. The fact remains that the situation is,
as Mr. Ware points out, that Nebraska is
not drawing the material, or perhaps better,
it is not keeping the good material that it
gets, so that our once international fame in
track is declining, while other sports will be
affected in a similar manner. And while
other causes for this may be at work, we be
lieve that the job situation is a large con
tributor to the trouble. We repeat what was
said last fall: Go to some of the high school
coaches out in the state and listen to their
complaint that their boys are often shoved
into oblivion and are not given a chance be
cause of favoritism for boys from larger towns
or all-state selections, both in the matter of
jobs and in chances for the team. Not very
pleasant, but this condition does exist.
Kenny Chapman's case is not an isolated
example. It is merely a current and outstand
ing case. "Potentially greater than Lamber
tus" was Schulte's prediction of him. Yet
the athletic department has seen fit to let
him remain out of school, to pass him by as
it has passed by many another good man. Oh
well I It seems like the athletic department is
running the show. Students are only putting
it on
Typical of New Deal is a certain WPA
worker in the East. Out of a job for a long
time, he found employment as a school teacher
under the WPA. Now he is drawing car
toons ridiculing Roosevelt and the New Deal
and the Republican party has printed them
on stamps to be used in the coming campaign.
It's easy to bite the hand that feeds.
Open the
Library!
MOW THAT final exams are just around the
corner, the library and its various branches
about the campus are becoming very popular
gpcts. For the next two weeks students will
be working to make up hackwork, remove
celinqencies, and review the semester's work,
all of which will place an unusually heavy de
mand upon library facilities.
Student; sr going t tinmp into some
tl.mg indeed unpleasant during these closing
tro weeks, something that has been annoy
ing to students throughout the year. They
will find the libraries closed on Sunday which
is perhaps the most important study day of the
week. This state of affairs has been incon
veniencing a considerable number of students
all year. Now it will vex an even greater per
centage because the need will be so acute.
Why the administration permits this con
dition to exist is a problem for some mental
wizard. An educational institution is sup
posed to offer students library facilities. Ne
braska is supposed to be such an institution.
Yet the library is closed on Sundays when its
facilities are in demand.
The situation is a disgrace to Nebraska.
It ia an insult to any institution that pretends
to be dedicated to educational purposes. And
it is certainly not conducive to development of
intellectual cr cultural curiosity or interest on
the part of the student body when the uni
versity shuts off this mighty and important
source of intellectual stimulation.
The library case is just another of the
many where the university is falling down on
the job of giving students those things which
a university is supposed to offer. It is another
example where but little effort or expense
would be required to remedy a bad situation
if the university but would. Good sense de
mands that this condition should be corrected
now. The administration should comply with
this demand without delay.

After AAA, What?
is the question on everyone's mind. Both re
publicans and democrats who are in a position
to consider seriously the situation agree that
something must be done. Farmers in the mid
dle west are emphatic in their renouncement
of the decision of the supreme court which in
validated the agriculture act. Students at the
Iowa state college at Ames are reported to
have burned in effigy the six justices who
voted to declare it unconstitutional.
Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace had previously reported that he had
in readiness several substitutes which he could
use if the highest tribunal should do as it has
done, but the decision was such that evidently
any attempt by the federal government to
control production or-materially aid agri
culture in any manner would meet a similar
fate. Without a constitutional amendment,
and under present circumstances that would
be exceptionally difficult, the only solution
seems to be 48 little AAA's, one for each state,
with federal aid in a manner similar to the
method the federal government employs in
helping the teaching of agriculture in the
state schools.
Several Political Science
scholars have expressed the opinion that there
were enough previous decisions on cases de
pending on the same constitutional provisions
for constitutionality in which similar delega
tions of powers to the federal government
were held valid by the supreme court to war
rant the AAA's being upheld. The dissenting
opinion seems to verify this, but it is the ma
jority opinion that decides the issue. As the
result of that majority opinion,' something
new in help for the farmer must be discovered.
The farmers in this part of the country hope
agriculture leaders whom Secretary Wallace
called to Washington to help him work out
something will have some helpful suggestions
and a permanent solution will be forthcoming.
Although the Supreme
court has placed it in the background for the
moment, congress is in session. In his open
ing message, which has been the subject of
almost as much discussion as the momentous
decision, Roosevelt asked for a two-fold neu
trality policy. He wants one that prohibits
export of war materials to belligerents and
the export of any materials in the excess of
that which is used by the waring nations in
times of peace. There is about the same thintr
in operation at the present. Supporters of
the soldier's bonus are confident that a meas
ure for its immedate payment will be passed
over the president's veto if necessary, and it
no doubt will be necessary. The current pro
posal provides for payment as soon as possible
with a clause stating that the veterans might
draw 3 percent interest if they would wait
until 1945, the year the payment is now due,
before accepting.
CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
Eugenics
In Germany.
No matter what one may think of Hitler
and his regime, Germany can poine with pride
to the fact that she leads the world in the
adoption of laws governing national eugenics.
The latest news report on this subject tells
us that foreigners in Germany are no longer
to be exempted from the sterilization laws.
They are to be treated just as German citizens
this respect, and if they don't like it they
can leave the country.
While something like 27 American states,
including Indiana, have legislation of one type
or another designed to prevent the propaga
tion of hereditary criminality, idiocy, and
feeble-mindedness, Germany has made a na
tional crusade against such, and has string
ently enforced her law. The general justici
cation and acceptance of sterilization laws is
mainly due to the fear and danger of inferior
types predominating over the higher types.
It is known that as a general rule those with
lower social status hare more children and at
an earlier age than do the better classes. There
are, however, compensating measures for this,
including a higher death rate among the
"lower classes," and the confinement of men
tal, physical &Ai criminal cases in state in
stitutions. Consider the cost to the govern
ment of caring for the unfit. The burdens
of taxation nre heavy enough without the
maintenance of institutions for them.
The German sterilization law includes
chronic alcoholics, victims of certain heredi
tary physical diseases, and the hereditarily
blind, deaf, and dumb. These persons are
there arises a different feeling toward them
than towards the degenerate. But in Ger
many, groups of persons afflicted with these
in firmities met and voted in favor of sterili
zation, lest there be reptition of their tragic
cases.
Adoption of a national sterilization law in
the United States would result in a more vig
orous, intelligent race of people. When one
considers the benefit to mankind that would
result from a eugenists' control of the race, it
is hard to see how ind.' !fe-Tcnce, ignorance,
and prejudice can have so long kept the other
civilized nations of the world from following
suit. Purdue Exponent.
Youth
And Age.
Frequently, we hear older persons, when
discussing members of the younger generation
who have come into positions of importance
and responsibility, express the opinion that
"he or she" is too young for the job.
We have never been willing to agree that
those more matured years have been the only
fitted for the positions of leadership and re
sponsibility. hy may not younger persons be
just as capable, or perhaps more so in this
twentieth century, as the renowned men of by
gone days? .
Thomas Jefferson, despite the fact that he
did' not become president until he was 57 years
old, never did anything to compare, in bril
liance to the drafting of the Declaration of In
dependence, achieved ut the age of !W. Alex
ander conquered Persia when he was 25. Han
nibal crossed the Alps before reaching the age
of 21). Napoleon, whether we choose his victory
at Lodi or his triumph before Austcrlitz as his
greatest achievement, was about 150 years old.
Gallileo was only 17 when ho discovered the
law of the pendulum. Perkins was 18 when he
synthesized muuve, the first synthetic dye. At
the age of 24. Newton worked the calculus of
the Principia that was published twenty years
later.
Hertz was 2:1 when he discovered wireless
waves. Already an assistant to the famous Sir
Humphrey Davy, Faraday was well known as a
science lecturer at the Koyal Institute of Lon
don at the age of 23. Schubert was only 11
years old when he began composing: Mendels
sohn wrote his "Overtupt- to A Midsummer
Night's Dream" at 17. Among the painters
were artists like Michel Angelo, who, when 33,
was appointed by the pope to decorate the Sis
tine chapel.
"Thanatopsis." that masterpiece of poetry
known to every school child, was written by a
lad named Bryant, who was but 17 years old.
At the aire of 20 he wrote his equally famous,
"To A Water Fowl."
Surely, the young are capable. While ex
perience may be the "best teacher." the imag
ination, the energy, the ambition, and the
questing, iconoclastic spirit of youth are most
certainly positive assets toward accomplish
ment, and are much to be desired. Kentucky

COLUMBIA, Mo., Jan. 9.
Wayne Allen, official paddle-
maker for the University of Mis
souri, nan been nrovidinir sDankine

thirtv-two vears. it was discovered
this week by someone who both
ered to check up.
in 19Z8 he adverusea:
"Allen's caddies have made last
ing impressions on Mizzou fresh
men the past twenty-five yecrs.
During that time Allen esti
mates he has made thousands of
paddles.
"I've made Daddies out of every
kind of wood that grows." he says.
"Rosewood was the favorite in
prosperous times. Some fraternities
favor mahogany, but seasoned oak
is the favorite now.
"I have made them out of
ebony."
Styles In paddles change, Allen
declares. Some years students
want heavy two handed ones.
Other years they require shorter,
lighter blades.
Make Special Plans.
Me has to be something of a
draughtsman. The engineers send
the Daddle-maker soeclfications
drawn like architect's plans for a
building.
"EnB-ineera' Daddies must weieh
lust so much and must be Just ex
actly so many sixty-fourths of an
inch thick."
Agricultural students want them
tough and strong.
One of Allen s masterpieces was
an explosive paddle which con
cealed a nercussion car. When the
wood was brought in forcible con
tact with luckless freshmen the re
sulting blast was very amusing.
He now is attempting to devise
set of Daddies which will emit
pleasant tones when in use.
Women's Paddle Popular.
Allen's Daddies for women are
popular. They are made of soft
ood and are considerably wider
then the male type.
And he not only makes me dis
ciplinary woods, but also for a
sum constructs form-fitting pad
dle Drotector for luckless frosh.
