DECENTLY reported from the United States office of education at Washington is the announcement that the federal government's $15 a' month check to 109,000 needy college students pays the whole college expends of some; to others it is only a slight boost toward solvency. Dependence is placed according to the college one attends. As shown in the re port by Eunice Barnard in the New York Times the value of federal aid to students varies with the type of college. I Educational institutions in the southern and central states were termed enough of a low cost enterprise to considerably help the Lstniggling students. It is only in the private. ly endowed residential colleges and univ rsi ties, with annual tuition and board charges ranging from $700 to $1,800 as a rule, that federal aid profits the would be student very little. But to students in public colleges and tax supported concerns, such as the Univer sity of Nebraska, investigation has revealed that $130 pretty well covers carfare, lunches and sometimes clothes and keeps the living at home student from being such a burden on his parents. "When the federal government steps in to aid the students and youth of our nation to obtain an education at the government's ex- pense, almost immediately two trends of thought assert themselves. Both trends, the Nebraskan believes, should bear attention and tolerance. As to whether both trends are jus tified in this instance is a moot question. First there arises almost spontaneously with the introduction of federal aid into our educational system the fear of many that sooner or later, although at present the pros pect may appear slightly ludicrous, the schools of America will become but instruments of propaganda, subjected ultimately to the whims of the government. Evidences of this fear, asserted earlier when the Meps were first taken, were shown again when a New York commentator for Hearst suddenly launched forth with caustic criticism of the govern ment on these grounds. That regimentation of thought was the only natural result of this aid was the theory proffered. Secondly there are those that hold to the opinion that it is rapidly becoming a righteous function of a government to provide an op portunity for those under its jurisdiction. So cial security as legislation is reaching a point where action on it is not merely probable but almost certain. Tudor government in England in the latter part of the sixteenth century be gan recognizing the necessity of providing some means of escape for its troubled people. Steps were taken nt that time, but immediate ly following the industrial revolution took place and, aided by new frontiers et cetera, the question was not particularly a pertinent one until the present. Both these ideas are comprehensive ones. Both bear the element of sincerity and valid ity. But in the opinion of the Nebraskan both can be answered. In so far as Mr. Hearst is concerned the Nebraskan believes that some of his fear of invasion of the rights of schools is possessed of about the same validity as his ter ror of "reds." As yet thir fear has no grounds, Administration of the details for student em ployment is left to the individual school's of- ficials. These officials submit a report on the number of needy students or the amount of money they could handle for student funds and receive these funds for distribution. The only supervision exercised in anv manner bv the federal government is in the p.iyment of the funds to the students, which payment is direct. Ihere are no reservations, conditions or proposals of any manner in the govern ment's dealings with the university. In this instance the government is merely in the po sition of a private donor, except the manner of donation takes a slightly different pro cedure. The Nebraskan believes that both thoughts are being answered. The fulfillment of these two viewpoints can be brought about with perfect harmony and accord. The government can recognize a social obligation and carry thru measures affecting it and yet at the same time direct these benefits through chan nels which in no way will inhibit or in any way restrain the independence of the Amer ican universities and colleges. tv () FOREIGN DRESS INFLUENCES COED SPIUINGTIME FASHIONS With hsta from the orient, eve- ning; town from ancient Greece, lioleros from Spain, ana com from Knglnml, the costume of the Amer lean coed will reek with foreign influence this spring.

PASTEL CHIFFONS, STARCHED LACES MAKE SPRING FORMALS Spring nJghta and new moons inspire creators of new formal to romance. White starched laces, filmy chiffons of cosmo blue, rust red taffetas, chintz and linens in bright prints will lead the way to summer in a most attractive way.

Kebraaka. farmers who last fall harvested a great deal of soft corn but were without live stock to feed the crop are today faced with a problem of utilizing the immature grain. Tb Cornhusker state' severe Wirier, which haa juat passed, up itt more than one set of plans in this regard. January and Febru ary, 1936, will go down in history as months of severe winter wea ther. Closed highway in many area prevented the sale of such aoft corn. Much Soft Corn. The 1933 corn crop contained an unusually large amount of soft corn. Men who do not feed live stock, piled it up at the time of husking and expected to shell and sell It during period of below the freezing weather. Such corn, while high in moisture content, could have been shipped to market in sound condition during cold spells and upon arrival at terminal mar kets could have been kiln dried to av point where it would have kept satisfactorily. Now winter is over. Moat men find they will have difficulty shell leg and shipping this soft corn. With froit leaving the cob, it is i apparent that It la : shell this corn aa many cob crum- bi when touched. Local elevator i men know high moisture corn is 1 likely to heat between the time it la loaded until It arrives at a term inal market. Consequently they are afraid to purchase it except at a big discount. Cannot Keep Corn. Much of the corn will not keep in a pile or crib. Aa a result farm ers are faced with th problem of utilizing tbi crop. Assuming there are no liveatock feeder within a reasonable distance to pay a fair price for the corn for immediate use, about the only remaining al ternative la to put the corn in a pile. On many Nebraska farms there are siloa which can be uaed or there are places which can be used as silos. An old ice house pit or some similar hole can be used in case a suo is not available. In put ting the corn in the silo it is advis able to add some bulk. This could be bundle fodder, straw or hay. Probably or.e part of such rough age to each four parts of ear corn would make a good mixture. 3' M 'MAKING OF SPORTS The new "sudden death" ruling in high school basketball is com lag in for it share of criticism at the state tournament. Accord ing to the new rulea th firat team that scores two points in an over- difficult to time period wins th game. Play stops immediately and the game is over. In the good old daya a live minute overtime period was played and the team making tne most points in the period was the winner. The bigwigs in the bug ketball racket figured that too much time was being spent in overtime periods. Each team might rack up a basket in the first period and when tha time waa up the game had to go on to another period. In some games as many as three overtime periods have been played. These over time periods have been eliminated by the new ruling, but at the same urne ii n&s given an advantage 10 the team with a fast breaking oiiense.

Kdltor. BY 6EXS0N E. HUMPHREYS. ROME. "Snip Courses" have been abolished in Italian universi ties, by the royal decree that went into effect with the first of the year. Italian students, who have per haps been inclined to loan at the task of their university educations, who have in the past had no re quired courses except Latin and Italian, and who were coming to the belief they charge to American students that athletics see the most important part of the university, are worried by the terms of the new decree. Reason for Concern, There is reason for their con cern. In the past students needed only to take four courses during each of the first three college years, and only three in the last year. When they had passed the examinations in these courses, and examinations in Latin and Italian composition, and defended a brief thesis, they were grunted their de grees as doctors. Now, under the new regulations, six courses must be taken each year, the examina tions in Lutin must still be passed, ami the thesis must still be writ ten and defended. To American ways of computing, these six courses would amount to 18 hours of class work a week. What is more disquieting to many students is the fact that only five of the twenty-four courses now prescribed for the degree are elective. When the student graduates from the ly ceum and is ready to enter col lege he decides whether be will work for a degree in iurispru dence, political science, statistics, economics and commerce, philol ogy, pedagogy, letters, philosophy, foreign languages and literstyre, medicine, chemistry, physics, mathematics, natural sciences, bi ology, zoology, pharmacy, engi neering (civil, industrial, navai and mechanical, chemical, aero nautical, mining), architecture, agriculture, forestry, veterinary medicine, or geography. From that point, his course is rigidly outlined for him. He is permitted only five electives, and only two of those may be outside his own faculty. Degree Requirements. To be admitted to the degree in letters, which corresponds most closely to our degree in liberal arts, the student in Italy must master two year courses in Ital ian literature, Latin literature, Greek literature, romance philol ogy, glottology, and the history of art, and single year courses in Greek history, Roman history, medieval history, modern history, archeology, geography, and phil osophy. At least three of his five electives must be selected from one of the three concentration groups the classical, the modern, and the oriental. The only redeeming feature of the new decree, says the students, is the fact that class attendance is still not compulsory, and it is still possible, they hope, to pass examinations with someone else's lecture notes.
