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 expenses 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. Educational institutions in the southern and central states were termed enough of a low cost enterprise to considerably help the Lfitrueeline students. It i? only in the private- 1 v A TAciiiitn t i n 1 nn 1 orrnc and uti i tc i I ij V. VA IVillUVllVIUl VWIU V i7 UilVt unit s 0 1 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 $lo0 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 spontaneous' with the introduction of federal aid into our educational system the fear of lr.any that sooner or later, nlthouirh 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, hvidences of this fear, asserted earlier when the steps were first taken, were shown a;aiii 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. a a 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 at that time, but immediate ly following the industrial revolution took place and. aided by new frontiers et cetera, the question was not particularly & 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 lis his ter ror of "reds." As vet thir fear has no erounds Administration of the details for student em ployment is left to the individual school's of ficials. These officials submit a renort 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 nnv m inner hv the federal government is in the payment of the funds to the students, which payment is direct. There 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 m ro way will inhibit or in any vray restrain the independence of the Amer ican universities and colleges. i V s . : V ) FOREIGN DRESS INFLUENCES COED SPRINGTIME FASHIONS With hats from the orient, eve ning gowns from ancient Greece, boleros from Spain, and coats from England, the costume of the Amer ican coed will reek with foreign influence this spring. If you see a hat coming to a peak at the top and with a brim that stands out all the way around, on top of blond curls, you will be viewing headgear which gets its inspiration from the large straw hat of the coolie who labors in the rice fields in China. Like originals, these hats are made of rough straw and employ no other trim ming, relying on the unusual shape for their attractiveness. Grecian lines are still popular for evening altho they are not as severe as they were when they first appeared in the fall. The ancient seat of civilization has been the inspiration for many things, but never have revived gown styles been aa good as they are this spring. From the land of dusky skins and clicking castinets comes the short bolero jacket featured on silk afternoon dresses.

By Prof. ft. J. Grimlich. Nebraska fanners who last fall hirvested 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. Thd Cornhuaker state's severe finter, which has just passed, up set more than one set of plans in this regard. January and Febru ary, 1836, will go down in history as months of severe winter wea ther. Closed highways in many areas prevented the sale of such soft corn. Much Soft Corn. The 1935 corn crop contained an unusually large amount of soft corn. Men who do not feed live atock, piled it up at the time of husking and expected to shell and sell It during periods 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 point where it would have kept satisfactorily. Now winter is over. Most men find they will have difficulty shell ing and shipping this soft com. With frott leaving the cobs, it is apparent that it is difficult to shell this corn as many cobs crum ble when touched. Local elevator men know high moisture corn is likely to heat between the time it Is 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. As a result farm ers are faced with the problem of utilizing this crop. Assuming there are no livestock feeders within a reasonable distance to pay a fair price for the corn for immediate use, about the only remaining al ternative is to put the corn in a pile. On many Nebraska farms there are silos which can be used 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 silo 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 one part of such rough age to each four parts of ear corn would make a good mixture. I SPEAKING OF SPORTS m 1 The new "sudden death" ruling in high school basketball is com ing in for its share of criticism at the state tournament Accord ing to the new rules the first team that scores two points in an over time period wins the game. Play stops immediately and the game is over. In the good old days a five minute overtime period was played and the team making the most points in the period was the winner. The bigwigs in the bas- ITALIAN ROYAL DECREE DELETES SNAP COURSES 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 the time was 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 time it has given an advantage to the team with a fast breaking offense. Reb Russell, former football star at Nebraska, who recently finished school at Northwestern university where he was a regu lar in the Northwestern backfield, has been signed up with a circus as a "western movie star." If I remember right Reb played pic ture bits in westerns a year ago and cut a very fine figure. a Jack Minor, Husker swimming coach, has just made the state ment that at least six out of ten Big Six swimming records will fall this week end at the confer ence meet In Kansas City. Minor expects at least four or five of the marks to be broken by Ne braska men. Nebraska and Iowa State are the only two teams given a chance to capture the championship. The Huskers re cently gave the Iowa State team a drubbing in a dual meet at Ames. Nebraska will be the de fendlnp champions this year and they themselves expect to bring the honor back again. Let us once more remind the public in r ner&l and Mr. Fredrick Ware of the Omaha World Herald in particular that Coach D. X.

Humphries, former DePauw university student and now a student at the University of Rome on an American Italian maintenance exchange fellowship of the American university and the InsUtute ot International Education. Editor. BY SEXSON E. HUMPHREYS. ROME. "Snap 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 are 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 granted their de grees as doctors. Now, under the new regulations, six courses must be taken each year, the examina tions in Latin must still be passed, and 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 he will work for a degree in iurlsnru dence. political science, statistics, economics and commerce, philol ogy, pedagogy, letters, philosophy, foreign languages and literature, medicine, chemistry, physics. mathematics, natural sciences, bi ology, zoology, pharmacy, engi neering (civil, industrial, naval and mechanical, chemical, aero nautical, mining), architecture, agriculture, forestry, veterinary medicine, or geography, ifrom 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 io 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.
