Patriotism and
The Constitution!
PATRIOTISM! Hardly any word
In the English language elicits
mich instantaneous response. Few
words produce such combustible
feelings. Yet this stereotype one
of the most diabolical of terms. It
wrecks havoc with its ambiguity.
Constantly one side employs it
against the other with gruesome
effectiveness despite apparently
little justification. Users of this
terra cling to its historic emotional
reaction rather than to the par
ticular purpose of its meaning. It
is indeed a word to be shunned by
rational people.
Within the United States a
similar, tho equally nauseating,
stereotype has been made of the
term "constitution." Dr. John P.
Senning. political science profes
sor, certainly stated a truism Sim
day, when speaking at Joslyn Me
morial, with the remark that "we
have reached a place where we are
worshipping the constitution of the
United States. Politicans have ele
vated the constitution to a lofty
fositioi and the difficult task of
making a living is not eased by
this antiquated mechanism."
Both stereotypes are the product
f the same type of mind, the re
sult of constant iterations on "let
ting things continue" without fur
ther alteration towards any change
or progress. People today are giv
ing far too much attention to the
powers of government and not
enough to its purposes. The rea
sons for this are obvious in many
instances. Politicians issuing the
"rally-round-the-constitution" cry
have very often purely selfish in
terests at stake.
But the purpose of the con
stitution. The Nebraskan thinks it
safe io say. is not to inhibit but i
to more ably direct the progress
of this nation. Until this principle
is realized we shall always have
to cope with the alarmist. In Pat
rick Henry's stirring declaration
"Give me Liberty or give me
Death," which these same persons
so staunchly uphold, he did not
add the clause "unless the con
stitution wishes to make excep
tion." A Dr. Senning pointed out tn
his Sunday address, the constitu
tion is a record of the experience
of men up to ITS". Surely since
maAS production, mass consump
tion and the advent of more rapid
means of transportation into our
modern age of today, enoi;gh new
experience have bf-en realized to
alter somewhat the original stipu
lations of this constitution. Jn the
past this famous document fairly
well performed its purpose. In the
future it is the sincere hope that
its purpose, not its technical in
terpretation, will live in the minds
of the people. So long as the
United States is a good place to
Mve in and sponsors the right man
ner of environment, according to
the dictates of its government,
then there will exist that element
necessary for the progress of
civilization.
Allowing stereotypes and poli
ticians to build intellectual gas
masks for the youth of this coun
try la not improving conditions.
These problems cannot be sup
pressed by reference to a stero
type, the constitution, but they
must be met. It will be a happy
situation indeed when liberal
thought is not associated with red
flags and smudgy face.
Was it not Robert Hutching who
aid that if such problems as these
are to be solved, they are to be
solved with enlightenment, cour
age and sanity not thru emotion
.lira, or its common misdirection
thru falsa patriotism. '

was in a handicraft state, and
there were no huge corpoiations.
The constitution is a record of the
experience of men to that date."
Dr. Senning explained that the
principles of the constitution have
been expanded until many of them
have lost their fundamentals. He
did not suggest any changes.
"Today the people elect a presi
dent on his outlined legislative
program," the speaker asserted,
"altho under the constitution he
is head of the executive depart
ment. The president is now the
biggesi cog in our legislative ma
chinery. Our cop.-titution says it
can't be done, yet we are doing it."
Too much attention is being
gi-en today to the powers of gov
ernment, he contended and not
enough to purposes. Political par
ties have little or nothing to do
in bringing either depression or
prosperity.

ARCHITECTS TO USE NEW
PLAN IN DOME BUILDING
In constructing the dome of its
new observatory on agricultural
campus entirely of wood and can
vas, the University is trying some
thing new, says Paul H. Rogers,
civil engineering graduate in 1P25,
who did much of the designing of
the structure and who is now in
charge of the NYA students who
are building the unit. Before work
began the plans were checked by
Rogers, Porf. Linus Burr Smith,
chairman . of the department of
architecture, and other university
officials. Labor, materials and the
other expenses will not total more
than $1,000, in spite of the fact
that the observatory will be as
presentable as others over the
country which have cost several
times this amount.
Try Wood Construction.
"In adopting the wood type con
struction we are reducing the cost
and at the same time Insuring a
practicable and efficient structure
which will serve the school's pur
poses in every way," Rogers said.
"Several Lincoln firms have been
generous In their donations of ma
terials and this has helped in keep
ing the cast down."
The foundation has already been
dug and partly poured and work
is now under way building the sup
porting ribs for the dome. When
these are finished they will be an
chored to tho steel base, ring on
which the dome revolves. Plywood
will be used to form the roof with
a layer of aluminum painted can
vas over the wood. While the en
tire dome will not weigh two tons,
it will be able to resist high winds
because of roller devices which
lock it to the steel rail.
No Heating Problem.
There Is no heating problem to
contend with, says Rogers, because
the telescope will give the best re
sults when the temperatures inside
and out are the same. The founda
tion has been so designed as to
take care of a more permanent
structure that might be added in
future years. If a classroom should
be built later the dome can be ele
vated a story higher without any
material change.
Rogers hopes to have everything
In readiness by the second week In
June. The reflecting telescope,
which was built under the direction
of Carl F. Rust, of the physics de
partment and Dr. T. A. Pierce of
the mathematics faculty, will be
the largest of Its kind in the state.

her romantic ends is astounding.
In the first portion of the play,
she is entirely shy and retiring,

blossoms out as a beautiful lady,
possessing all the personable
