Service?
AN accident durinji intramural parlicipa-
tionhas again brought to light the melti
eiencv of the University of Nebraska s tetudent
Health Department. The blame for this condi
tion should not be laid at the feet ot Dr. I. A.
Lvman, Dean of the College of Pharmacy and
head of the department, but it is he v.io should
initiate the improvements that are needed.
boy broke his shoulder. He was immedi
ately taken to the stadium where a doctor sent
him' to the campus infirmary. At the infirm
arv the doctor of the health department, put
the 'lad to bed. propped him with pillows, gaye
him two aspirins, and told him that he would
set the break in the morning more than 1
hours later.
t
Companions of the boy were not satisfied
with this treatment and called in two physi
cians of the city. One of these advised that the
break be set immediately before the shock had
completely left the region of the break and
made the setting process almost unbearably
painful. The boy was removed from the in
firm arv to a local hospital, the break was set
quickly with the remaining shock to minimize
the pain, and the boy was back to his classes
in two days. .
It was this sort of service for which the
student paid a fee when he registered. He was
given aspirins for a broken collar bone and
tcld to lie all nicht on a bed of pain while the
two jagced ends of his broken collar bone
gouged into the tender flesh every time he
moved.
This is not an isolated case. Last year a
football player injured his elbow during a
scrimmage. The same doctor who neglected
to set the broken collar bono, x-rayed the el
bow and failed to discern a chip of bone which
was revealed two days later when ilie foot
ball player couldn't stand the pain any longer
and went to a downtown doctor.
Another athlete was treated by this doctor
for pneumonia last winter when all that was
wrong with him was two dislocated vertebra
in the boy's back. As a result of this error,
the boy lay for two days in a deserted frater
nitv house during the Christmas holidays un
able to cet out of his bed and to a doctor. A
friend finally found him and took him to a
doctor w ho put the vertebra back in place.
Still another student was given medicine
for a sore throat last spring. The medicine
was so strong that the boy lost his voice with
in a few hours after taking the first dose.
He went to a doctor in the city, was told that
the medicine he was using was much too strong
for his case, and was given the proper atten
tion. A doctor attached to any student health
department has an incredible amount of work
to do. The work is erratic as to volume, and
the doctor's presence is required a dozen places
at once. This is granted, but, when the situa
tion becomes such tLat the proper attention is
nto available to students promptly, remedial
measures are imperative.
No student goes io the Student Healih De
partment if he wants prompt service and can
afford the fee of a city physician. This should
not be the case. It seems that the present fee
should be adequate for the. maintenance of an
efficient department, but if it is not. stiidenls
would not balk at an extra assessment that
would assure them of compel cut protection
thruout the school year.
removed the upper story. This also helped to
remove the danger of a good strong wind's
coming up and reducing the building to a pile
of stone and wood, although even that did not
make the architecture exactly streamline. Tho
ceilings probably won't cave in, but a few
more supports strung here and there would
make journalism people and activity workers
breath easier.
It gives ons a rather picturesque feeling to
wander through the basement of University
hall. The gray-yellow stones of the walls pro
duce the same atmosphere as Black Hill's
famed Wind Cave. A newcomer treading
through the passages for the first time may
expect to see a musty, wet sign reading, "The
Rock of Ages." Instead he sees "Office of
Kosmet Klub" and "Student Council Room."
It would be even more quaint if the university
would put in a maze of rafters and supports
to hold the ceilings and walls in place.
The hall is all right, but as a curiosity and
not as a university hall. A note of cheer is
struck as hopes for the new student union
building grow brighter. There will be there a
new, modem atmosphere, produced by walls
that hold out the melting snows.

Delinquent Tax Laic
passed bv the last Nebraska legislature is con
stitutional. according to the ruling of District
Judge Robert Proudfit in Geneva. The law
provides for the remission of interest and pen
alties on delinquent taxes. In upholding this
law the judge also upheld the validity of the
special legislative session, which was the cause
of some speculation, the contention of some be
ing that the two house legislature repealed it
self in the last regular session when it set up
machinery for the operation of the unicameral
legislature, even though this was not to go into
effect until next January.
S pedal Session Acts
had been attacked by Logan S. Rogers. Lan
caster farmer, who tried to intervene in the ue
linquent tax law on the ground that the special
session was illegal. County Attorney John
Owacke. who brought the suit attacking spe
cifically the constitutionality of the tax law,
said that Fillmore county would appeal to the
supreme court. That tribunal declared uncon
stitutional a similar tax law passed by the
regular session, but that was held void on tech
nicalities and the general principles of a delin
quent tax law were not considered in the opin
ion. So. the measure was re-enacted by the spe
cial session with an attempt to correct the er
rors in the law which the court had found ob
jectionable. Legislative Enactments
cannot change a constitutional provision.
Proudfit pointed out in his decision, and legis
lators are constitutional officers. Even if it
could, the judge continued, it is clear in the
measure that the unicameral machinery was
not to start operafmir until January, 1937. This
is also the provision of the amendment as ap
proved by the people in general election. The
law was 'intended to speed collection of delin
quent taxes by cancelling interest and penal
ties if paid in installments or in a lump sum
under certain conditions.
Senator Edward Burke
was put in the race for national democratic
committeeman by Nebraska democratic lead
ers who met to form a slate of guaranteed 100
per cent Roosevelt candidates to the party's
national convention. This strengthened the
prospect of Neville's running for senator with
the party support. The leaders specified that
Burke's name would be withdrawn should
Neville decide against the senate race, which
he might do if Norris signifies his intention to
run in the general election as an independent.
Neville is the present national committeeman.
Th subeomriiillee of Ihe democratic state com
mittee also chose fourteen pro-Roosevelt candi
dates for delegates to the democratic nalionai
convent ion.

DRIVERS MAY SIGN SAFETY
PLEDGE AT NEBRASKAN OFFICE
In order that the campaign for
safe driving, sponsored by the Ne
braskan be carried to a success
ful close, Irwin Ryan, editor of
the publication again urged that
all student drivers sign pledge
blanks and receive stickers for the
windshields of their automobiles,
immediately. Both the blanks and
stickers are available at the office
of the Nebraska located in U hall.
Tointing out that a major per
cent of the accidents occurring to
day are due to the reckless driv
ing of persons under twenty-one
years of age, the editor declared,
"Student interest in the safe driv
ing campaign should rest with
themselves, if for no other reason
than a selfish motive. Just as stu
dents co-operate in allowing others
to live, so others will co-operate in
protecting their lives."
If the drive is to be a complete
success, Kyan explained, 100 per
cent co-operation of the student
body is necessary. To date a large
number of students have agreed
to the propositions outlined in the
pledge, but there is a much larger
number of student drivers that
have not as yet acknowledged
their intention to become support
ers of the campaign against ' Sud
den Death."
In expressing his hope that stu
dents would lend their support to
the campaign immediately by se
curing pledge blanks, Ryan com
mented, "It is necessary that stu
dents realize the fact that such a
drive is more than a campaign, it
is a social obligation to give
others the right to live."

CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
V. Hall
Still Endure.
Speaking last Sunday on his return to his
ahna mater, Dr. Edward C. Elliott, now presi
dent of Purdue university, said. "1 must voice
the hope, that some day soon the people of
Nebraska will replace University hall with a
building that compares with the capitol in dig
nity and in dreams of thincs to be; a structure
tha't will dominate the university center of the
state, to be used r a temple for the teaching
of the science and art of good government; a
structure that will siunali.c the common aspi
rations of the citizenship of the state, will serve
to energize the services of Nebraska to the Uni
versity ami Ihe obligation of the university to
Nebraska."
Dr. Elliott has described the dreams of
the backers of the student union building. Let
us go over to the building that gives him a
"depressed reaction" and look at it.
We find the elements attacking old U hall
nd the students crowding to the front of the
room to leave the re;ir half to the floods. Bring
your umbrellas to class," the professors ad
vise "until the 6pring thaws are over."
At the waters once more win their way
threufh the roof of the structure into room
1J0, the fact that not many more years of serv
ice can be forced on the venerable, old house
of journalism and activities is driven home.
Just as the hall was ready to topple over some
time ago, authorities came to the rescue and
lie port of
Professor Difibopgle.
"1 promise 10 make better grades next se-nn-sler."
"I promise to make better ." ''1
promise 10 ." Professor W. W. Digboggle.
director of the University Bureau of Statistics
Regarding Student Sayings, in a recent article,
discusses the number of times that a student
will make this self promise in the two days im
mediately following the receipt of final exam
cards. The professor states that it is a simple
matter to find out the number of times that
each individual makes the promise and gives
us the following formula to use in making the
deduction: First, add to the number of hours
flunked those hours in which a grade of D was
received, multiply this by the average number
of breaths the individual takes per minute,
then this total when multiplied by two days
less the number of hours spent sleeping and
eating, will give the number of times an indi
vidual promises himself to make better grades.
The Professor says that he is entirely in
disfavor with any student who makes these
promises and then fails to keep them. To en
able all students to keep the promises they
have made he has devised this rule each time
an individual starts to go some place or to
do something other than study, if he will for
get to go, and spend half the time studying
that he plans to spend elsewhere, then he will
be able to keep the promise that he made to
himself.
From the article written by the Professor,
we find that he is indeed a wise and educated
man. so if we will follow his findings and
teachings we will be able to truthfully say "I
promise to make better grades next semester."

"Accent on Youth," by Samuel
Rafaelson playing a one night
stand at the Liberty theatre to
night, has a cast headed by Ethel
Barrvmoie Colt, youngest member
of the Barrymore's royal family
of the theatre
The play is a comedy, and was
acclaimed by New York critics as
one of the few successful come
dies on Broadway during the past
season. Burns Mantle introduced
the plav as one of the ten best
plays of the year in his annual
book "Best Plays."
Miss Ethel Barrymoie Colt
began her theatrical career by
trouping across country with her
mother and then played on Broad
way with her. Then, in order not
to be leaning on the parental
name went into radio, summer
stock in New England, vaude
ville, musical comedy revue and
back to Broadway.
Acclaimed by Critics.
That the twenty-five year old
actress has advanced in the
theatrical world on her own merits
is evidenced by the acclamation
accorded her by critics and New
York audiences. When Miss
Barrymore was playing with the
Jitney players in Brooklyn, New
York', she said that "Being a
Barrymore helped me to get my
first jnh, hut it dirln't lirlp me to
get the second one."
Other members of the cast of
"Accent on Youth" are Douglas
Rowland. Alice Keating Cheney.
John Maroney. Barbara Bene
dict and Mervin Williams. Mr.
Williams has joined the cast re
cently, having just closed in the
road tour of "Dodsworth" with
which he had played both in New
York and on the road.
Nationwide Movement.
"Accent on Youth" is one of the
series of plays being sponsored by
a Playgoers League as part of
ine nationwide movement to re
vive the legitimate theatre and re
store the art that was formerly
a part of community liie through
out the nation but more recently
has been confined to New York
and a few of the laiger cities. The
play ran 22S peiformanees at the
Plymouth theatre in New York
and closed July 6. 193.Y

Students May Graduate With
Distinction by Meeting
Requirements.
Degiees with distinction, offered
to upperclassmcn who desire to
enroll as candidates for graduation
with honors, have recently re
ceived publicity in the university
catalogue. These degrees are of
fered bv each college separately
and a student applying must meet
the requirement of the college in
which he has a major.
A majority of the requirements
state that students who have made
an unusually good scholastic rec
ord during their first two col
lege vears are eligible for the
baccalaureate decree with distinc
tion or with high distinction. The
purpose of these nonoia in (
only to recognize and reward un- ,
usual academic attainment, but !
also to encourage in the student i
a significant correlation in the so- j
lection and in his mastery of his
undergraduate studies. To this end I
the student plans his course for the :
last two yeais if co-operation with j
his major adviser and with a com- ;
mittee on decrees with distinction
I appointed by the faculty. t
I Ag College Specifications.
I College of agriculture specifies
I that students must have earned at
! least sixty hours in residence and
! must begin not Inter than the mid
' die of the junior year a course of '
! studies designed "to promote hie.h
1 scholarly ideals and cultural i
breadth." Recognition is based upon
a thesis and a special comprchen-1
sive examination taken during tne
last semester of the senior year.
College of art and science. speci
fies that attainment will be tested
in the last semester of the senior
year by a comprehensive examin- ;
ation which may touch upon any
part of his work in these last two
1 years and he win oc requireu to
suhmit a substantial specimen ot ;
, written work which he may have
done during his last two ycais.
A very few superior students in
the engineering collepe nwv at
' tain an especial honor upon gradu
! ation. F.ach year the class records
are examined by the taculty and
' seniors worthy of this rank are
'recommended for thiMr respective
I Bachelor's degree with distinction
or with high distinction. Law col
lege will confer this degree upon
students, not to exceed 10 pemni
if ihf. nnmivr in the frraduatin"
class, who complete their wor .
with distinguished excellence.
Pharmacy Degree With Honors.
In order to stimulate and en
courage superior scholarship am
achievement among students ot
the college or phnrn.rtey, the de
gree Bachelor of Science in Phar
macy may be confirmed with hon
ors; and the diplomas of students
qualifying shall bear the Inscrip
tion according to the rank achiev
ed by the individual student.
Five requirements are stipulated
for this honor ranking. They are
1. Eligibility for these honors
shall be restricted to those stu
dents who shall have earned, prior
to graduation, at least 60 crea
hours in residence, and who have
made a high scholastic record or
the first two college years. 2. Se
lection of candidates shall be
made by the committee on degree
3. Adimssion to candidacy snau
be determined by a special com
prehensive examination to be
given earlier in the first semester
of the senior year under the di
rection of the committee on de
grees of the committee, and ft.
Comprehensive examination which
is not designed for the knowledge
obtained in pharmacy and the re
lated branches of study
Number Small.
Ordinarily the number of stu
dents who may graduate witn
honors will be very small.
Requirements for the degree m
Teachers college correspond in al
most every detail to those speci
fied by the other colleges.
More detailed information about
honors may be had from the dean
of the college, from advisers, or
from members of the commute--on
degrees with distinction.
While the difference between
the degree with distinction anil
the higher honor, with much dis
tinction, is fundamentally qualita
tive, the essential difference is
that additional written work of
high merit, over and above that
normally required in course, mm:
be submitted to the committee
a qualification for the nighe
honor. CARRY INTER Y1EWS
