Education
For the Masses!
STATE universities thruont the United States
Insistently clamor for more money. They
have not enough cash in their coffers to sup
ply just needs of an educational institution.
Yet at the same time these same institutions
are "thumbing their ncjes" at the very per
sons responsible for the financial success ot
their schools. 'With one hand they reach out
and ask for money; with the other they punch
the noses of those striving to brine; into prac
tieallty the theory of "mass production from
our colleges.
Prominent educators over the entire na
tion proclaim that the traditional American
attitude of "education for all" will have to
be displaced by a saner philosophy of quali
tative achievement," Honor awards, honor
convocations and the like stress such a point.
Such a goal is well worth striving for but the
approach of today is far from being the logi
cal one, from the Nebraskan 's viewpoint. Cer
tainlv it would be nice if everyone were pos
sessed of the philanthropic viewpoint of life.
That they are not is evident to us all.
In the name of common sense, why should
these lenders of today try to ruin the success
of the very things they are striving for with
throat cutting tactics? Calling the man that
feeds you a "damn fool" certainly will not
increase his like for you. These educators say
the answer to such a problem lies in endowed
schools. In this they are wrong. They are
living in a world of hallucinations within
themselves. They are only postponing and
prolonging the issue which college students
are to meet in the outer world.
The very form of government existing in
the United States denies any possible control
by those possessed of "qualitative achieve
ment." Democracy is run by the many and
not by the few. Taxes are paid by the many.
The tnany elect our legislators. Tt depends
upon the' many whether the legislators are
capable or otherwise.
Instead of eternally condemning "mass
froduetion" the Nebraskan wishes to hurry to
ts defense. In doing away with the masses
we shall have to revamp our entire form of
government. Such an issue carries far beyond
the fields of the university. The entire nation
would be affer-ted. This to some may seem to
make the problems now confronting us appear
hopeless.
Two alternatives present themselves. One
Is the elimination of such burdens upon society
as exist in some localities by application of
strict laws dealing- with eugenics. This has
often been offered as a means of ultimately
reaching1 and maintaining a better civilization.
Better environmental conditions is the
other solution. In this broad scope of activ
ity would most certainly fall the inclusion of
the universities. Educate the masses ; instruct
and teach the many. Mediocrity is the back
bone of our civilization of today. Civilization
advances as the multitudes progress. Quality
i necessary, of course, but quality must be in
stilled with the quantity, otherwise the moiety
of putridness within the apple will ruin the
entire apple.
Instead of bemoaning the attitudes of
present legislators and at the same time week
in j to keep their children out of the institu
tion's doors It would be the far wiser policy
to teach future legislators. The really preat
men in history are revered, not because of sin
gular "qualitative achievements," but for
their degree of aid proffered to the masses.
CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
Price of
Dictatorship.
The advantages and disadvantages of an
autonomic government have been set out many
times by its friends and foes. Recently comes
to light, however, the greatest instance of the
power which is at the disposal of a dictator
and the manner in which he can misuse it.
Published in an antifascist journal in
Taris and translated by The Manchester
Guardian were a list of secret instructions
sent by Mussolini to all newspapers of Italy,
in which rules were laid down as to just what
the press of that country could and could not
comment upon- It was indicated that these
instructions are being sent in short, regular
intervals to all newspapers, No doubt such
a plan was formulated to lessen any chance of
Mussolini's demise of power as a result of the
Ethiopian campaign.
The instructions themselves were clear cut
and dogmatic and leave no chance whatever
for the individual editor to use his own judg
ment a to what rhould be printed in his own
publication. Some examples ere: Feb. 13
tnnf the Blum affair and the dis-.
banding of the French fascist leagues; (2)
Cut down messages from abroad; (3) No in
terest to be shown in the oil embargo; (4)
Nothing more to be said about the Stress front
and Ihe watch on the Brenner.
American journalists could hardly con
ceive of receiving such instructions from our
government. It demonstrates clearly how far
an autocrat will go to further his own ends;
far enough, in fact, to deprive his people of
reliable press reports. It is merely one of the
penalties that people of Italy and other dicta
torial countries pay for autocracy. Kentucky

A good speaker is one who says the things
you would like to think of to say. them if you

When you're Cot
A Good Thing
:T0 THE EDITOR:
Just as traditional as the stately grace of
the white garbed May queen, the hurried de
meanor of ivy planting presidents, or the driz
zling threat of rain to the festivities was the
Ivy day orator who chose to "strike at campus
politics" the kind of politics responsible for
his election and the system they represent.
And in the mind of every student, it is
traditional to think of campus political parties
as factions, set only upon the most equitably
selfish distribution of political plums.
Like the year it didn't rain on Ivy day,
like the slow gaited presidents, and like the
bowlegged May queen, the governing body of
Nebraska students for the past two years de
serves the appellation of "unusual." In the
Student council during this term, merit has
preceded affiliation, and results have exceeded
promises.
Two years ago they promised the students
a bookstore. This year they produced. Two
years ago they pledged support to a union
building. Now the administration awaits only
the act of congress. They promised social lib
erty, and obtained parties at country clubs
outside city limits. They pledged efficient ad
ministration of student government, and they
came thru with it.
To me, when such an unusual circum
stance exists, there is only one thing to do
maintain that state as long as possible. This
can be done in the form of an ultimatum from
the whole student body, in my opinion, by
voting progressive at the elections next. Tues
day. B. W.
For a More
Articulate Electorate.
TO THE EDITOR:
Next Tuesday the Greek council, with the
help of the student body, will break the politi
co 1 machine that has been running the Ne
braska campus for the last two years two
years spent in bickering and appointing com
mittees without getting anything done. If for
no other reason than that these offices need an
airing and new blood, we should change
parties.
The progressive party is not composed ol
students capable of efficiently administering
student government. Rather than spending
their time ridding the campus of blue laws and
graft, they barter and argue in their own fac
tion meetings for the greatest part of their
time.
Most of this time is spent in trying to
placate, satisfy, or railroad the barbs, who
have no place in student government at Ne
braska in their present status. As long as any
group of unorganized students remains un
organized, they have no way of expressing
their governmental wishes, and should, there
fore, deserve no voice in dictating the govern
ment of other students. Members of fraterni
ties and sororities, therefore, are supporting a
diseased and unrepresentative system when
they vote for a progressive party that claims
barb support.
Until Nebraska students awaken to the
cause of their own interests and place in office
candidates who represent those students who
are capable of articulately voicing their de
mands, this political hegonomy known as the
progressive party will continue to defeat every
effort made for good student government.
H. F.
A Men- Candidate,
A ISetv Platform.
If men's political factions have the right
to print their platforms, an independent wom
an candidate for Student council most assur
edly has the same right and responsibility.
From the beginning, I have been sincerely
interested in clean student government. 1 have
expressed this interest in filing, as a junior
woman candidate at large, not in filing as a
candidate from a particular college or group.
Representing no specific college, I would con
scientiously work for the whole student body.
Campus welfare a fuller university life
for every student is a cause that, if elected,
I would work for. Campus welfare is ar in
clusive term, but for me it includes:
1. Offering sincere welcome to every new
student. So many students have gone thru
university making few acquaintances. Defi
nite committees, as well as individuals, should
mingle among registration crowds, and similar
groups of new students, and lend a helpful
hand.
2. Lessen social restrictions. I would join
with any one constructively agitating for a
more liberal attitude of the administration.
3. Support student forums. I would en
thusiastically urge more complete participa
tion of any one who has a desire to do
so in these forums. Spontaneously presented
thoughts of students could increase unity of
belief and purpose in the university.
4. Recognition of social chairmen's group.
Work for co-ordination of social activities so
that stag dances can be satisfactorily and reg
ularly held.
5. Support continuation of Student Book
Exchange.
fi. Continue agitation for proposed Stu
dent Union, building. CAROL CLARK.

Cone and Forgotten.
Today, the sphere of the found
ers' influence has passed. Few re
member Gepson, Sorenson, Mus
grave, Kotouc, and Rudolph, and
Joe Shramek is too busy going to
law school to think of the Green
Toga faction he helped found.
Ross, Moran, Thiel, and Shadbolt
ceased worrying about the Pro
gressive party, while Lee Young
studies with Joe.
What, then, has kept the fac
tions together for five elections?
Yes, it will be six, because the
Greek council carries on Green
Toga alignments with few changes.
Perhaps it was these few changes
the switching of three houses in
each faction that stabilized the
parties for another fray. Perhaps
it has been luck in maintaining a
balance, which, unfortunately for
the Green Togas, takes a whole
slate with a small majority rather
than a majority of offices by de
cisive figures. More likely it is
the possibility that new political
friendships found among the ris
ing generation of vote-traders has
chanced into the same channels as
those coursed by their fraternity
fathers.
Third Party?
Rumor has a new third party on
the campus this week. It has not
shown up in the filings, and no
new patty can hope for great
strength when names nust be
written in, so dopesters must save
their realignments for the post
election period.
But will they realign then? My
guess is that if the Greek council
scores a surprise victory, realign
ment will be easy. If the Progress
ives stay In the saddle, it will be a
fight to the finish between incum
bents satisfied enough to fight
back, and strong fraternities hun
gry enough for power that no
atone will be left unturned, not
even on the Theta lawn.

City and Yankton, S. D explained
how the river bed IS undermined
on 'he convex side of a curve be
cause of the spiral movement of
the water. He spoke of the fallacy
of the argument held by some that
the channel should be excavated
in a straight line and illustrated
the natural irregularities of the
stream bed. It would be impossible
to keep such a river as the "Old
Muddy" within parallel banks, ho
stated.
The ultimate goal of the Mis
souri river project will be to open
a channel down the middle of the
stream six feet deep and wide
enough to accommodate nine
barges.
Captain Loper outlined the va
rious types of navigation construc
tion projects, now being used and
compared the particular method
employed on the Missouri river
with those used in other geograph
ical regions.
"The Missouri Is a peculiar river
as there is a great variation in the
river's silt discrage during dif
ferent seasons which is caused by
the texture of the midwestern
soil," he stated. "Such large
amounts of silt are carried that
river dams would be completely
buried."
The "dam and pool" system, the
army engineer continued, would
not be adaptable to tha, purpose
on the Missouri. By such a method
a dam is constructed, causing the
flowing water to pool up behind
It until a sufficient level is reached
when the dam overflows. The wa
ter is thus allowed to surge for
ward and collect behind the next
dam.
The Ohio river, he pointed out,
lies in a deep, narrow valley, which
makes it possible to use such a
lock system.
