Store Farce!
"When the student bookstore was incor
porated ami set np last spring, it was huz
znhcd as a tremendous victory for the forces of
sludent liberalism against administration con
servatism. The issue was fought amid a hnil
of excess verbiaee- and proposals and counter
proposals from both sides. "When the Student.
Council cornered the opposition with factual
petitions and bombarded with some thousands
of students' signatures, the white flag fin
ally was run up.
Those forces oF staunch conservatism
which in the first instance blockaded council
efforts have turned to negative reactionism.
The Student Pulse bv Mr. Forrest Brown, ap
pcarine in Monday's issue of the Daily Ne
braskan exposed a situation which should
brine a flare of indignation and protest from
every member of the student body. The Stu
dent Bookstore, as it was theoretically con
ceived, has lost its identity in the overwhelm
ing personality of the administration owned
and controlled Regent's Bookstore.
Student Council action, as il finally was
sanctioned by the Board of Regents, proposed
a second hand bookstore that would buy books
from students for ,r0 percent of their original
cost, and resell them at a small increase to de
fray hnndline expenses. Instructors were to
co-operate with the bookstore in handing in
lists of texts to be used during the coming
year. Purchases were to be guided by these
lists of books in demand. Kfforts were to be
made to contact student cooperative, univer
sity owned bookstores in other universities, so
that there might be an exchange between in
stitutions. New books were to be maintained
for the benefit of students desiring them.
Mr. Brown finds several faults in the
system which are exemplary of the manner
in which the iheory has failed to material
ize. The bookstore is buying texts only
used this semester. There isn't a sufficient
quantity of texts on hand to meet the stu
dent demand. The price paid for used books
is but slightly over that paid by private
bookstores Inst year. True, the student en
terprise has forced privaiely owned concerns
to raise their prices on used books, but this
wasn't the onlv feature of the plan.
The staff of the bookstore believes in and
is willing to work on the plan as proposed by
the Sludent Council and piissed by the Board
of Regents. But it seems 1 hat some adminis
trative officers feel that meet inn the issue
half-way will salisfy students, ending criticism
and campus campaigns, and will provide a
greater ease of operation. That their viewpoint
isn't shared by the student body is proof
enough of its fallaciousness. The students had
faith in and wanted a Student Bookstore. But
as Mr. Brown slates, they cannot "honestly
and conscientiously support the present set
up." While it may be commendable to Hunk
of the university's financial heallh first, ihe
tycoons of Administration Building must real
ise that this institution isn't operated for the
sake of its administration, but for the benefit
and wellbeing of its students. We pride our
selves on the economy of attending school at
Nebraska. This economy can be expressed
in terms of economical lexis as well as econ
omical rates for attendance. H is only fair
to five the student as much for used lexis
and permit him to buy -new ones at as reason
fihle a price as possible. This was ihe pur
pose of the bookstore when it was yet an em
bryonic thought. But v. ithont the guiding
band of the mother Student Council, the em
bryo developed into a hybrid. 1o laugh at thus"
who conceived it.
The bookstore has become an agency of
the administration, a part of the very cen
tralized government of this University. Un
til it can be brought under student control,
nnd awav from the devious influence which
now miries it. it will never express the ideals
arid purposes of those who founded it.
Nothing
Like Efficiency!
Mr. John K. Sclleck and his staff in
charge of the distribution of sludent athletic
tickets are to be commended for tin- efficient
and nerve-saving means employed 1 his jear
over the .jumble and jangle of last.
Those who lined np lit five one morning
last fall and waited for choice seats to be
flished out on 1he "first come, first served"
theory, will well remember bringing breakfast
and lunch to th it-fest: of tiredly watching
for fraternity brothers to eorrje to relieve those
on duty; of a line in the coliseum that seem
ingly dragged on and on without an end
and conpested all coliseum traffic.
The persons who reserved one or two
tickets, and could not wait for hours on end
in the queue, were given seats on the fringe
of 1he stadium student section. The lanr
fraternities snd sororilies who had represent
ttjvrs fcat in the renter. This obviously was
unfair to the individual licketholder, he who
was not part of a huge block.
To remedy this situation, Mr. Selleck this
year reverted to a lottery. Kach group of
tickets was numbered, the numbers thrown
into a box, and picked out one by one. The
first number gets first choice at scats, and so
on down the line. This lottery gives each per
son a chance, with no possible favored posi
tions available. The drawing took place on a
strictly legitimate basis, and any prevailing
dissatisfaction can be attributed to the laws
of chance and not discrepancy.

Who Should
Pay?
Dear Editor:
1 and many others are greatly pleased to
see Nebraska's band dressed in new and showy
uniforms. I feel sure that the new band will
help Nebraska's reputation as a college, but
1 don't understand why ihe university stu
dents must pay for them thru the receipts of
the Freshman-Varsity football game.
The band is a part of the military de
partment and since that department feels in
clined to require 1he students taking iheir
courses to wear uniforms why shouldn't they
furnish those uniforms. Yes, 1hey have fur
nished the ones previously used, and perhaps
that destroys the argument. Certainly the mili
tary department will receive sufficient benefit
to justify the expense in the more impressive
sho'wing'niade at inspections, compet and the
military ball. I iherefore ask why the money
from the Freshman-Varsity game need pay for
these uniforms.
The military department has. it seems to
me. always had unwarranted privileges which
no other department in the university has ever
been able to gain. Regularly once each year
the students pay the military department a
comfortable sum' as the result of the mililary
ball. My understanding is that this is used for
student" loans which are returned at the end
of each year so that the fund is not decreased.
No other department has the privilege of fill
ing its coffers from the students in such a
manner. Whv is the military department so
privileged? If the students must pay for ihe
band uniforms why not a part of this loan
fund be used for such, for the fund has surely
accumulated to such an extent that il is not
all used for loans.
In this connection 1 would like to say 1 bat
favor allowing the mililary department to
open the Nebraska formal session, but 1 do
not favor allowing the military department to
year after year receive the profits variously
'estimated as ranging upward 1o :f"J.O00 per
year. The point T desire to make is why not
iise such profits for a sUnlenl enterprise such
as a sludent union building. Yes. 1 favor
allowing the military department just compen
sation such as reduced rales for all members
of ihe department.
Whv shouldn't funds collected from stu
dents such as the receipts of the Freshnmn
Varsitv game and profits from mililary balls,
which 'have supposedly been accumulating for
rears, be contributed toward a student union
building rather than given to 1he military de
partment which is supposedly supported by
the government.

Mr. Innes is very careful about ihat. I lor one

what these are. but Mr. limes is as valine on
this matter as he is on arioiis other points.
Inasmuch as 1 am unable in accepi politi

Mr. Innes answers no uesl ions : avoids

Ihat is not 1oo much 1 ask'.' Evidently to be

Finally, Mr. limes' whole argument r'
on what is essenlially 1 issue of contradic
tions. I am attacked f'-r showing ihat vhal

as brealh taking as it i original, to stale ihat
even if "it (fascisl propaganda . were for e

country."
My heartiest congratulations i Mr. k

hardly carry on a discussion of Ihis sort when
confronted by such logistic niflies as this.
"Weldoii Kees.
The most remarkable thing
about the programs of Landon and
Roosevelt is their similarity. Lan
don and Roosevelt agree on nearly
every major issue, disagreeing
only in minor points and as to
methods of carrying- out their pro
grams. The Kansas governor and the
president are almost identical in
their views on the problem of ag
riculture, as far as this writer can
determine. Landon in his speeches
hns berated the administration of
the AAA and the more recent soil
conservation program of the ad-
ministration, out ne acimus mm .
some program of soil conservation I
is the only pr actical long-time pro- I
gram for' the relief of agriculture, j
rt v. Tr,r,cA.Alt riH I.Andon advo-i
cate the entension of credit to the
farmers so they will be able to
buy their own homes. Both Roose
velt and Landon agree that re
lief must be extended to the
drouth-stricken farmers and both
promise to investigate the plan of
crop-insurance, whereby the farm
er will be assured an income even
if his crops are ruined by drouth
or some other natural catastrophe.
The federal government must
care for the unemployed, both
candidates agree, and both agree
that the needy aged must be pro
vided for.
Vvi in the time-honored ques
tion of the constitution, there is
not nearly so much ditterence as
commonlv assumed between the
two candidates for the presidency.
In the spring, before the rise ot
Landon, the "Old guaru ...
control of the republican party
and these standpatters decried
the slightest change in the con
stitution or the slig-htest stretch
ing of its provisions. However
Landon. a disciple of Theodore
Roosevelt rather than Hoover, de
manded that this narrow view on
the constitution be changed be
fore he would accept the nomina
tion. He has gone so far as to
say that he will try to amend the
constitution in order to pass laws
regulating the labor of women and
children.
In the matter of government
finance, there seems to be a
vast amount of difference be
tween the two candidates. Lan
don is apparently a conserva
tive, interested only in the bal
ancing of the budget, while
Roosevelt is pictured as a spend
thrift. Upon closer examination
f the two platforms and per
sonalities, this difference fades
and finally almost disappears.
Landon, while favoring reduced
expenditures, makes no concrete
suggestions as to where these
economies can be affected. He
does not favor reducing relief ex
penditures. He apparently favors
a farm program caning iu. i..
tinucd and perhaps increased ex
penditures. The only suggestion he
makes is that extravagance and
iritsgovernment be cut out. Of
course, this is very general and
meaninglens. There is no reason
to believe that the republicans
would be less wasteful than the
democrats.
Apparently about the same
amount of money will be spent by
the federal government no mat
ter who is elected. Landon openly
opposes the new corporation tax
and indirect taxes, yet he prac
tically admits that the net income
taxes he proposes will be inade
quate to meet the present emer
gencies. ,
Landon Is also in favor of the
balanced budget with a minimum
amount of borrowing. He derides
the democratic "attempts" to bal
ance the budget. In other words,
Landon believes in increasing ex
penditures, reducing taxes and
balancing the budget all at the
same time. This doesn't quite make
sense and therefore we must dis
count Landon's fiscal policies as
the usual campaign talk and be
lieve that expenditures will not
differ materially under Landon,
though he may make some prog
ress toward balancing the budget
and may substitute different taxes
for the present tax setup.
One aspirant to the presidency
is a democrat, one ih a repub
lican, but more important than
this, both are progressives, and
so we draw the conclusion that the
country will continue about the
same no matter which afipirant is
finally selected. We find the renl
difference between the two can
didates, not in their programs, but
in their personalities. Roosevelt is
impulsive all too ready to throw
money away on new projects,
while" Landon is conservative. Hct

Relating Maps to Landscape
Reason for Geography Trips
Benetton Conducts Classes on Field Trips: Earth
Formations as SIiomii on l)rainjrs Studied;
Students Take One Trip a eek.
"Intelligent interpretation and
correlation of maps to actual land
scapes" is the purpose of the field
observation trips which have been
taken last week and this by stu
dents in geography sections 61 and
71, according to Dr. J. A. Bengtson,
head of the geography department.
Specially chartered busses have
been used to transport the 15 dif
ferent groups in the two sections
on tours to the retail wholesale
and residence districts of Lincoln
and to the suburban and rural
landscapes of Westerly.
Under the tutelage of members
of the staff and graduate assis
tants, the students have learned of
the significance of land forma
tions and contents. They have also
been given a chance to observe
the relationship that drainage has
to land utilization in both rural
and urban districts, and have made
a study of field patterns.
One trip each week of about
three hours length is taken by
each group, offering an excellent
introduction to both natural and
cultural landscapes," stated Dr.
Bengtson. The study of landscapes
is an important feature of both the
human and economic geography
courses. This particular division of
the course was taken up at the
beginning of the year in order to
take advantage of prevailing good
weather conditions for the field
study trips.
The geography head observed
further that Nebraska was one of
the first colleges to use the field
obsrvation method of instruction
a method which has since been
widely used by other educational
institutions.
