HARGING the administration s m-oynnu lor V the establishment of a foundation with an ultimate objection of obtaining a student union activities buildincr as an imposition upon the taxpayers of 1 lie state, a contributor to the Public Pulse column of Tuesday's Evening Journal. V. E. Anderson, condemns university officials for not deieiiinsr to take the matter up with the people. Says Mr. Anderson : "As usual. 1he taxpayers, who are asked to furnish the maw portion of this money, were not consulted. A new library with all modern conveniences, including rest rooms for all and cubicles for students doins research work, would have been far mure practical . . . But no, we had to have a SUident Pnion building. Other universities had them, and it was a mat ter of keeping up with the douses. Probably some of the space in the proposed slruclure will be devoted to radical organizations which -will fight the very taxpayers thai paid for the building. To one up a tree, it would seem as if we needed a Student Union building' about as badly as a dog needs two tails." To one up a tree, if we might borrow from Mr. Anderson's expression, the Nebras kan can in no way comprehend how the tax payers are to furnish the "major portion of thij money" nor any part of it. Might we suggest to the administration that they inter view Mr. Anderson, Perhaps he could clear the way. Perhaps he might show university officials where, they can obtain this sum from the taxpayers. The Nebraskan is sure that officials are missing' an excellent oppor tunity for enlightenment. Now regarding the negligence on the part of the administration to confer with the tax payers. Not only would it be preposterous from the standpoint of practicality, but the matter is virtually of no corncerti to those par ticular people. The maintenance of the bare 'essentials of a university is the proper func tion of the taxpayer. That his richt in these essentials should be highly regarded is not 1o be denied. The student union activities build ing, however, is purely an extraneous under taking, outside the immediate jurisdiction of the people of the state. Initially it is a student undertaking. It is to be financed thru gifts from the PWA without respect to the taxpayers. Receiving this grant upon the promise of student col lateral in the form of an amortization plan, the concern then rests with the administra tion and the students. While there is no gainsaying the fact that the university is a "child" of the people, yet its actions are not to be censored up to the last morsel it partakes any more than are the actions of a horse to be conditioned by the owner once the race is under way. The University must be Bllowed freedom of policy and movement. The university should be allowed to deter mine its own needs and its own direction of expansion. lnilia with existing conditions. That a pres ent nctivity, such as this newspaper, would be any more or less "radical" in another building is a difficult statement to swallow. Furthermore in following Air. Anderson's phil osophy still farther we find it anything hut commendable. NEVER OFFERING SUCCOR BECAUSE OF A PARALYZING FEAR THAT THE PER SON AIDED MIGHT "BITE THE HAND THAT FED HIM" SUGGESTS NO UNUS UAL VALOR ON THE PART OF SUCH A GENTLEMAN. CIVILIZATION RATHER STRIVES FOR THE OPPOSITE. PROGRESS IS NOT MADE BY ENTRENCHMENT WITHIN ANTIQUATED IDEAS. PUSHING ON IN FACE OF DIFFICULTIES AND MEETING THEM SQUARELY MIGHT BRING BETTER RESULTS. STUDENT PULSE Brief, concise, contributions pertinent to matters of student life and the university ere welcomed by thle department, under the usual 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 desired. TO THE EDITOR: For the stand that it took in the campaign for making drivers more safe, the Daily Ne braskan is to be highly commended. But this is only half of the job of combating "Sudden Death" the pedestrians, too, must observe common sense safety rules. Of the pedestrian-automobile accidents, the percentage of accidents in which the pedestrian is at fault is astonishingly high. Not enough stress is laid on the snlety precautions that should be practiced by the pedestrian. Here s an example of one of the rules a pedestrian hould follows: the Citv of Lincoln Ordinance. Section 1201. says "No pedestrian shall cross any street at a place other than a cross walk, nor cross any street intersection diagonally." Vet. in spite of the ordinance, we see numer ous people darting out into the street from behind parked cars, "cutting" the corners of he intersections, crossing the intersections sainst the signal lights, and many other acts hat show utter disregard for the just right id privileges of others. The pedestrian is the same type of human it'iny as is me ariver. nouia noi me peues- rian be arrested for reckless walking just as he driver is arrested for reckless driving? The pedestrian's recklessness may be and has ecu the cause of injuries to innocent third arties. Should not the pedestrian practice atety rules as well as the driver? All branches of life are governed by rules guaranteeing the riyhts of others. The obvious answer to both of these questions is "yes." as this is the means of making the campaign against "Sudden Death" more complete. Therefore, let us have a campaign to teach the pedestrians the safety rules that they ought to follow. Yours for fewer "Sudden Deaths." H. P. Off the campus Off the Campus by Lynn Leonard A new library. Such a statement sounds like echoes from heaven itself. Uf course we would rather have a new library. Of course a new library is 1o be preferred at an educa tional institution such as lhe university. Agree ing heartily with Mr. Anderson upon ihis point we will ask his fullest cooperation in lhe fu ture in fretting a lihrary. But a library would easily ensl a million dollars. In the past the university has been practically on its knees lo the state lecislat lire in order 1o obtain such an ereelion bu1 lo no avail. e Practical situations must be handled in a practical manner. No collateral could at the present time conceivably be arranged to support a 55 peent loan from the PWA to gether with a 45 percent gTant. If the uni versity had had that much money in its cof fers there is no doubt in the mind of the Nebraskan that we would be working for a library from the PWA. Does Mr. Anderson suggest that students, barely able to make ends meet, support thru amortization meth ods over a half -million dollar loan? Might we ask whether it is the custom of the state or the students to support a State Univer sity? As to Mr. Anderson's remark that we are endeavorinsr to keep up with the Jonses it might be mentioned in passing that this stereotyped remark reflects aspersions rather than oasts them. A university furnishes an en vironment during a period of four crucial rears. Living standards, ambitions and the future life of an individual is oflen determined bx one', social training in university. To ig nore it existence is merely to confess igno rance of its influence.

An opin ion read by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, which was supported by all lhe justices except McKeynolds, held 1hat the government may build dams for eonstitut iouul purposes. It may sell electricity generated by such dams. It may take steps to carry 1 hat electricity to a market. Coistitulionality as a whole for the vast TVA projed was not in terpreted, the court limiting its ruling to those issues, but new dealers contend that the .0O() 1 ...!!

The valley authority's intention lo create u yardstick to measure the proper cost of elec tricity to consumers was not passed on by the court. . Dissvntiiifi Opinittn read by Justice MeKeynolds contended that lhe project was encroaching on private enter prise. Citing' cases in which such procedure was held unconstitutional. MeKeynolds de clared that the court could not "With proprie ty avoid disagreeable duties bv lightly for saking long respected precedents and estab lished practice." Although it is developed in connection with permissable improvement of navigable water, he contends that lhe govern ment cannot seil electricity, but fortunately for Senator Noiris' pet project, his opinion found no other supporters and the decision was S to 1 for lhe TVA. Nebraska joins the new dealers in rejoicing that the creation of its favorite son did not go 1he way of some olher governmental agencies. Effect in Webraska TVA' is pondered by many Nebraskans. l'aul F. (iood, counsel for the Tricounty, declared that he was not certain of the effect the decision might have on the suit of five utilities com panies seeking to block the co-ordination of Nebraska's three hydro-electric projects. He thinks, however, that the general provisions of the decision are very much in favor of the government projects, and he is certain that it will not help the power companies. The cases, he asserted, are not parallel. In the TVA the government sells the power itself, but in Ne braska it merely lend and grants money to Ne braska power districts for developing and re tailing power. It appears that if the govern ment may sell electricity, it may lend money for its development, but who can forecast the supreme court's opinions OFFICIAL BULLETIN Lutheran Bible Hour.

PAUL SEELEY TELLS OF SCIENTIFIC SENSE OF LAW IN LECTURE (Continued Horn Page l.i ability, and also with perpetual opportunity for the use and ex pression of his ability. Of what use would be ability if there were no opportunity to use it?" Mr. Seeley inquires. "Divine law," he continues, "em ploys its intelligent forces in all consciousness to make room and opportunity for each individual to use his ability. "God's law not only imparls to His man continuing ability and suitable opportunity, but also a sense of reciprocity, that is an honest appreciation by his brother of what he gives. Jesus claimed his rights under this aspect of di vine law when he said, 'The Father. .. .hath borne witness of me.' And the Psalmist sang, 'Thou hast crowned him with glory and honour.' It is the just law of God that each individual be accorded what is rightfully due him that reciprocity be expressed to him by ! his brother 'man." Only Real Thinking. "God constitutes the only real thinking of our brother. Divine Mind makes all of His individual ideas to think rightly, justly and appreclately toward one another and to give to one another with that measure of justice and recip rocity which is essential to God'n justly balanced universe. And after all, this is simply the effect of the force of spiritual law ful filling its function to produce an intelligently ordered creation and man, with each individuality able to fill his place and receive justly therefor.
