Equally heart- lv does the Nebraskan w.sh to thank Dr. L nan for his co-operation with students m producing a readable college pai. Ihe -Ne hraskan thinks it only fair to state that Dr. Lvman's service to the university s not a mat ter of question and that his willinaness to go out of the wav to facilitate the settlement of student difficulties n.a kes him a most respect ed adjunct to the institution. But the quarrel with the health depart ment is not a personal one. It is not the Ne braskan "s place to enter a battle unless bj that Siet attention might be brought to bear on conditions which should be remedied. The Cebraskan believes that such conditions exist m our medical service department. tw housing conditions are poor, j coupled with the general poverty of the uni versity will be conceded by all as affecting factors. This can't be helped. The point to be raised: Is the present medical service, Jim it ed as it is. financially embarrassed as it seems, nevertheless functioning to its fullest capacity and with the desired efficiency.- This the Nebraskan maintains is not being done. In Dr. Lvman's letter the facts as he set them forth were that the boy. suffering from a broken shoulder, was X-rayed by the univer sity phvsician, placed in a splint and sent to the infirmary for further care and treatment. But, and here comes the rub. no pains were taken by the university doc-tor to set the break at that particular time. When the question was raised. Dr. Lyman asserted that such prac tice was within the legal bounds of the medi cal profession. Furthermore, the statement was made that any croup of doctors would up hold such action as being purely legitimate. The Nebraskan of course can not profess to know just what the medical association might have to say on the subject. One thing is certain however, the public as such does not ordinarily select for approval a doctor who postpones setting of a break until a more con venient time over twelve hours later. A per son need not obtain medical association ap proval to want a break set immediately in stead of enduring an agonizing wait. In many eases of doubt, postponement of action may be desired that a doctor mieht better diaenose the ease. In this instance it seems the X-ray re moved all doubt as to the manner of break. It merely raises the question of whether the delay was necessary in setting the boy's shoulder. Dean Lyman brands two of the remaining eases set forth by the Nebraskan in its previ ous editorial a? grotesque. The Nebraskan. however, interviewed the individuals person ally and verified these cases before printing. They voiced complaint. .Again whether the action of the department in caring for them would be sanctioned by the medical essocia tion is a moot question. If the term grotesque must be applied in reference to these eases, it might best be used as descriptive of their treatment. That the Purdue student pays $5 for the service Nebraska renders for $2 is a point Dr. Lyman raLes. With Dr. Lyman's own insistence that "writers get all the fact concerning: a specific situation and then stay by the facts when they write," we shall condemn him for not abiding by his own rul ing. All the facts were not given in the Pur due instance. At Purdue all the materials are fur nished free of charge. At Purdue the stu dent incurs no extra cost whatsoever for the Erocurement of any medicine. Every expense i included in the initial S5 fee.- Furthermore treatment may be received at any hour dur ing the entire day. Men and women may be treated all day. They are not allocated special hours for attendance. Again their staff is much more complete, possessing a larger personneL This is, the Nebraikan be lieves, enough evidence to show that the Purdue rate is not higher in comparative cost than the one at Nebraska. It is sot tha Nebraskan 's wish to argue the merits of a higher fee but "all the facts" should be presented. The Nebraskan realizes that Dr. Lyman's elosing remarks in the 'etter were not to the VoKmtlran ' credit Rut the Nebraskan also realizes that any department dislikes criticism- Flattery and praise is the milk upon which we like to thrive. It is only by these blunt tactics that realization of actual conditions might be brought to light.

Free Speech And Free Service. TO THE EDITOR: I believe in the principle of free speech. 1 have frequently gone out of my way to give to the editorial writers of the Nebraskan in formation which would serve s a basis ot n good storv. I have even been called an "ad vertiser" 'by some of uiy colleagues, because of subject matter appearing in the paper, when there whs no other motive than to co-operate wilh students in producing a readable college paper. I think the expression of student opin ion is wholesome. Sly only insistence is that editorial writers first get all the facts con cerning ii specific situation and then stny by the facts when they write. This was not done as a basis for the editorial entitled "Health Service" which appeared in the Feb. 20 issue of the Nebraskan. Take the case of the boy with the injured shoulder. Here are the facts in the case. This accident occurred in an intramural contest after office hours. No physician was on the campus at that time. The boy was sent to tht downtown office of one of the university phy sicians. This physician X-rayed the injury, used a splint and sent him to the 'diversity in firmary for further care and treatment. Two hours later a couple of friends of the boy ap peared and not being satisfied with the treat ment given, wished to take him away. (It is inconceivable that two university boys should have belter medical judgment than the skilled physician.) Nevertheless, the patient wished to go. He was taken to a downtown physician who it seems did nothing for him but to turn him over to a surgeon at one of the general hospitals. The patient was given treatment by this surgeon. I have the statement from this surgeon that the treatment given this patient by the university physician was the proper treatment and that this patient was not neg lected in any way. The other cases referred to in the edito rial are as grotesque as the average series of cases described in a patent, medicine almanac and deserve the same type of consideration from the thoughtful reader. The student health department is a busy j place. But at best a student rarely has to wait more than 15 or 20 minutes for service. If the student should go to the same doctor's office downtown, he would have to wait much longer than that to get service. On previous occasions editorial writers have complained that students go downtown for service rather than to the health depart ment in the Pharmacy building. A peep into the health department office any time of day between S a. m. and 3 p. m. will show the in accuracy of this statement. The health department like all human in stitutions has its imperfections. What they are, are best known to the departmental staff. The staff is working continually to make serv ice better. When President Elliot of Purdue i was here last week he commended the univer sity for accomplishing so much with what it has at its command. In commenting to me per sonally on the work of the health department, he said, "We make the Purdue student pay $5 for the service Nebraska renders for S2. I prav that some day an editorial writer will appear who will commend the student' health service for some of the fine things that it does do. rather than eternallv condemn it for what it does not do. Incidentally, such an attitude toward th whole administration might be wholesome. Such a writer mitrht well claim the distinction of being a real factor in the building of the university. RUPUS A. LYMAN, Director Dept. of Student Health. . i 1 . a I. uivu t I'vou Is oImmi to nil mine suiueiusT u seems to be a waste ot lime. Why not. have Ihe Kluh members invite only their best friends and most important fraternity broth ers to try out? It would be fairer to all con cerned in my estimation. E. A. W. TO THE EDITOR: Consider me as one of the "conscientious objectors" to the somewhat provincial and idiotic dogmatism the faculty committee on student affairs has imposed upon, the student body of the university, concerning social "regulation" of organized houses on Sundays. My sentiments on the question are in sym pathy with the objections raised by "Objec tor," which appeared in the Wednesday issue of the Daily Nebraskan. Big shot faculty members in the univer sity tell us that the present era is one of "indi vidual thinking," and "freedom of action and reputable character building." If such be the ease, the faculty and the faculty committee on student affairs' should get together and iron out the obvious contradiction they have in volved themselves in. Dean Amanda Heppuer, whose sole jus tification on the campus is to carefully watch the university students, and keep (hen. harm's way, would perhaps be "...oncy i.Im k if she would alter her somcwhal rigid Mnml on the question. , , The prohibition of dancing and ciimis. not 1o mention a mere banquet on Min dav is a violation of the inherent and well founded beliefs embodied in ihe I.

Certainly, during the formative years ot our lives, we should be allowed the privilege to pick up and discard what social attributes we so choose to possess. As for myself, in all sincerity, social regulations on this campus will in 'no wav hinder freedom of action and thought, or social contacts. Hint I care to make during my university life. As n member of an organized house 1 make this appeal perhaps echoing the senti ments of manv of my fellow students, thai a new deal be started, a reshuffle of Sunday school ideals that predominate in Ihe thoughts of those in the seat of power, and a "laissez j..:.. ....i;..,. h ii..t nn fur student social government. SENIOR. Kogmel Klub Play Trials. TO THE EDITOR: "1 believe in miracles' should be my tiierne son?; at Jeast it should be in view ot my latest error in judgment. I believed the im plications of a call to Kosmet Klub play try- outs in that I thought everyone had an oppor tunity, equal to everyone's else, of securing a part in the show. Filled with great expecta tions, and faith in myself, I filled out the ap plication form stating my previous experience and my preference of parts (to be in the pony chorus). When it was my turn to interview the author of the play and the coach of prin cipal parts, who were selecting the characters "f the show. I was asked whether f should not like to have a principal part, instead of beinji one of the chorus. 1 replied in the affirmative and was assured that one of the principal characters, the Queen of Spain (I think it was Spain), required just such a person as I am for its correct portrayal. They told me to come back the next evening for the actual try-out. At 7 o'clock the next evening I was at the Temple awaiting my turn. By 8 o'clock, after all the friends and fraternity brothers of Kos met Klub members had tried for parts, I was given a chance. Upon entering the room where the parts were being read I was greeted very enthusiastically. "You're not ?" asked the author to the play. I assured him of my identity and asked what was required of me. He gave me a typewritten sheet which had upon it a part of the libretto of the oper etta. I read the Queen's part and was told that I would be informed if I had won a part. Two days later the Daily Nebraskan pub lished a list of names of the thirteen men chosen for principal parts. Six, at least I think that number is correct, were Kosmet Klub members. My name was not in the list of principals, but in a list of men eligible for further trial for the choruses. The next issue of the Nebraskan carried the statement, "Both choruses have been chosen and are in rehetrs aL" My guess is that there were about twenty men. the number of men in both choruses, in the tryouts who were fraternity brothers or close friends of Kosmet Klub members. There is only one thing about this affair that strikes me as being foolish, that is: Why '. . m ': " '" a ' - J COLLEGE i l WORLD It may well be that the single standard of morality ia slowly cracking up under the ravages of this evil age, or it may just he that anyone, including a Ph. D. can do about anything he wishes with figures. During its year and a half of existence this column has wit nessed and reported campus "sur veys" of every conceivable type from the average number of hairs in a fraternity boy's eyebrows to the number of years it takes the average banker's son to get through college. And all this faithful following of the college press has at last been rewarded. We can now present to you the results of the purity survey on the campus of Queen's university. "Purity" in the personal, intimate, whisper-and-snicker sense. It seems that the women are 66.4 percent pure while the men are but 59.3 percent virtuous. The test consisted of 18 ques tions and was given to 150 stu dents. Questions varied. One was. "Do you smoke?" One girl turned up with a per fect score, and one man got to 99.5 percent holiness. He was the one who admitted he had once smoked a rigaret. Note on love in the blizzard area: The date bureau at Drake university in Iowa has closed up shop for lack of applicants. A stranpe tale of the conse quences of a mistake made in i translation of a book on basketball rules is brought to the University j of Minnesota by a student. Carl HenBel. who has just returned from the University of Vienna. Hensel said he found the Aus trian students playing basketball as they learned it from an Ameri can rule book. But in translation they thought they were to use an oval ball instead of a round one. So night after night, before cheer ing throngs, the Austrian college men fought around the wooden floor, tripping over one another while trying to dribble a football. Eventually they came out on the court with a round ball but whether the translator's mistake had been found or their own in genuity was responsible, Hense) did not know. It appeals, according to a pro fessor at Kansas State College, that college, after all, does per form a developmental function. This professor maintains that the dumb students get more out of at tending college that the naturally bright ones. He says he has shown that the gains made by the former are both absolutely and relatively greater. . Along with this we might report a study made by the University examiner at Ohio State University who says that the bright boys and girls of high sch'jol finish college still near or at the top of the list. Cheer note, to be r-ad to your little brothers and sisters: It's quite all right If they don't like to practice at the piano for their regular half hour a day. Prof. Oarlyle Scott, head of the music department at the Univer sity of Minnesota says it's quite all right. In fact. Mi. Scott broke down and confessed to a reporter that when he was a votingster he used to st the clock ahead and climb out the window. Did the 20th century ot-gin Jan. 1. 1900, or Jan. 1, 1901? A University of Texas professor baffled a class in Greek history with this question the other day. Ha f the class voted Jan. l, ivw. while the other half wouldn't com ment. The learned oedaeoerue finally told the boys and girls. "There no aucn inicg as a zero year. ' he aald. "Did you ever atop to think of the year 1 A.D.? Now think about 100 A. D.. and you'll aee only 99 years passed between Jan. 1. A. D., and Jan. 1. 100 A. D." Therefore. Jan. 1. 101. ! the date that marked the exact pass ing or the Iirsi century aurr Christ, and the 20th century be gan Jan. 1, 1901. Two alanr nhrasea of the hour "Oh. yeah?" and "He can take It" were lauded trT KObert Uor don Anderson, author and news paperman, in a recent addi m to Hunter coUege students. "Oh. veah7 is not ridiculous Anderson said. "It is tragic in its implications. It la as eloquent of world weariness as the bitterest cry of the disillusioned from Ea eleaiastes down to Dreiser and Lewis. Tt hrtatiea with chaUenre. the young men cry: "Why have you slain our liluaiens ? Why have you killed our faith 7 Nor was there anything new In H run take it." Anderson de clared, pointing to the analogy be tween it and ue apim in . Audience Acclaims M'Lean's Creativcness, Individuality Acclaimed by an enthusiastic audience that packed the Temple theater Wednesday after noon, Cameron McLean, noted baritone soloist, charmed his listeners with a distinctive and varied program which received six encores. Over 750 students and Lincoln people attended, and very little standing room waa available. Creative ability and Individual ity were characteristic of McLean's program. There is a real natural ness in his singing which was par ticularly eminent in "Song of the Flea." This song, by Moussorgsky, whom McLean believes to be greater than Schubert, was the one best liked by the audience. His sense of humor and his mo tions in this selection expressed his personality. He answered the encore to this song by singing "Ah, You Lovely Thing." "Bondage" Stirring Song. In a different type of song, "Kingdom by the Sea." which was taken from Poe's "Annabel Lee," McLean used a more serious mood. He indeed lived his songs. His gift is not confined to the inter pretation of American music but he also sings of his native Scottish music in which he appeared to be a master. "Leezie Lindsay," by Kreisler is a song typical of the Scottish highlands, and "Mary (Kind and Gentle is She" is typ ical of the lowlands. McLean's father was a lowlander, his mother a Highlander, which, as one critic has remarked, was the reason for his having both high and low tones of amazing purity and pow er. Bondage" by Test was possibly the most stirring song. It was a story of the daughter of a light house keeper, who was a lover of nature, and was very much de pressed because she was able to see nothing but the gray sea, the gray sky, and the gray gulls. His manly ruggedness and underlying gentleness was clearly portrayed in thia selection. Another humor ous song by Hughes entitled "The Stammering Lovers" was followed by an encore "The Road to Man dalay" which was sung in a Cock ney accent. Sense Musical Expression. Among the other numbers were "Droop Not Young Lover" by Han del. "Nacht und Traume" by Schu bert, "J'ai dit aux Etoiles" by Paladilhe. "The Cloths of Heaven" bv Dunhill, "The Floral Dance" by Moss, and last on the program was "Awake Beloved" by Edwards. Thia was encored by "I Love Life." When Cameron McLean sings, his voice and face mirror the reflec tion of his soul. It appeared as if he sang his heart out and enjoyed it as thoroughly as did the audi ence who sensed his facial and musical expression.

At While Nebraska celebrates the tenth anniversary of its literary magazine, the Prairie Schooner, Yale university has the distinc tion of publishing the oldest mag azine in America, the Yale Liter ary Magazine, which celebrated its one-hundredth birthday recently. Regarded as the guardian of Yale traditions during the century since its founding in 1836, the "Lit." as it is more informally known, has seen many rival pub lications on the campus rise to glory and quickly fall into oblivion. It is interesting to note that dur. ing its entire existence, the maga zine has not changed ita form, ex cept in 1932 when ita cover was switched from brown to blue, a change that called forth such a storm of protest that the original color was readopted the following year. Depicting a century of progress since the magazine was first is sued to the public, the anniversary issue of the "Lit" contains articles by former editors and contribu tors who have since become fam ous, including Sinclair Lewis, Stephen Vincent Binet. Thornton Wilder. Philip Barry and William Lyon Phelps. torians applauded in .Henley's line, "Beneath the bludgeoning of chance, my head is bloody but un bowed."

The young woman found a half frozen mastiff on the Union door step one morning, and brought it into her office to thaw out. When it had finally got warm, the dog walked over to Miss Herschler, busily typing, bit her severely, and ran.
