Take Advantage
Of This Opportunity.
"With the decision of Ihe Student Council
to join the Midwestern Co-operative Student
Booking Agency unanimously concluded, this
cninpus soon may find bands which are head
liners all over the nation at its disposal.
Campus organizations undoubtedly will
be able to charter performances of these or
chestras, since Nebraska now is a member of
the co-operative agency. The big problem
which faces the campus is persuading the
faculty committee to approve an outlay of
perhaps a thousand dollars for Wayne King,
Ted Fio Rito, Vincent Lopez, or other big
names in the musical world.
There will be a saving by booking thru
the co-operative agency, and these bands,
which heretofore have been available only at
an outrageous price, will be at hand for the
asking, if Nebraska asks soon enough. But the
price still will range into near the thousand
dollar mark.
The plea for better music at big parties
lias been a long and loud one on this campus,
but for the most part has fallen only on deaf
oars. Students desiring to dance to the big
jrer bands, and willing to pay for it, were
dissuaded from their intentions because some
organizations could not deposit enough to
cover expenses before the party was begun, as
per faculty committee rule. There always has
been a trend away from some of the bigger
orchestras because of their price level.
Now that the best in the nation will be
at our disposal, and at a price which promises
to be nominal enough for their services, the
Daily Nebraskan recommends that the fac
ulty committee make special dispensation for
ome organization which in the future may
want to bring a big band 1o the campus but
which may lack the funds necessary to fi
nance the venture at a moment's notice.
We have the opportunity to bring the
liest in music to the campus now let's take
advantaee of it.
What About Some
Beautifying Effects?
Somebody must have been looking out of
Administration building's back windows and
watched prospective lawyers break thru 1 be
bushes in a short cut from "R" Street to their
hangout, for a new sidewalk is being laid
where once those lawyers trod in the mud.
That little civic improvement is one
which might be duplicated with beneficial
results on other parts of the campus. In fnet.
there are a treat number of endeavors which
might be termed civic improvements, it they
ever advance out of the stage of being an idea
in someone's mind.
Une of the most flagrant breaches of
trespassing on ;nnrii.s brownsward by the
htudents of this university is that of chasing
over the mall between Sm-ial Science and An
drews halls. The mall is port of this uni
ersity's weighty plan to create open vistas on
the campus o,uite an undertaking in thi
(real prairie state. Therefore, the mall is in
violable as far as use for any practical pur
pose but to be a mall is concerned. No build
ings are to be built, nor an civic improvement
to be undertaken on this stretch of open ter
ritory. Now. open vistas are a fine .selling around
v. li to build any university, but not in the
J nphazard manner in which this university
j.s constructed. The entire east end of the
rumpus is straight and square as a ruler, un
broken even by the hint of any beauly but
that connoting from an open vista. No trees,
no shrubbery, no arbors, in fact, practically
nothing but buildings and open vista.
There is no campus like a beautiful cam
pus. Nebraska has all the possibilities, but
those possibilities are no more than ideas, as
yef. All attempts to instill in the new cam
pus the romantic element and sentimental at
tachment that emanates from the turrets and
lowers of the old campus have been lost in
a inazc of sub-committees, committees, and dis
interested administrative opinion.
.Much can be done to make this a beauti
ful campus with but a nominal expenditure
of money. A few shaded walks, rose beds,
and perhaps an arbor or two could create
the desire in the hearts of students to come
back, and not to stay away.
On of the first efforts along this line
might be the creation of a sidewalk between
Social Science and Andrews. The strictly
square aspect of the campus need not con
tinue. Students cut across the mall no mat
ter what the ruling, and their progress may
as well be facilitated by an accommodating
sidewalk.

YALE HEAD WOULD
The ovation given President Roosevelt in
Buenos Aires, Argentina, upon his arrival
there to attend the. conference of American
states was the greatest ever accorded a head
of a foreign state. Nearly a million persons
lined the streets upon his arrival and began
wild demonstrations which lasted far into the
night.
It is evident that our president is as
popular in other parts of the world as he is
in his own country, but the greatest signifi
cance of his reception is that he was greeted
as an emissary of peace. The people of the
American republics look to this man, the
greatest leader of his time, for guidance in
strengthening their democracies and pre
serving order.
With characteristic brillance President
Roosevelt addressed the assembly of statesmen
which gathered at Buenos Aires to represent
the 21 American republics. He challenged all
the nations of the world to join the Americas
in a peace move. He told the delegates that
the nations of the western hemisphere could
help the old world to avert war by, (1) pre
venting any future war among republics of
the America by strengthening constitutional
democratic government, and (2) preventing
internal conditions which give rise to war.
Other high lights in the president's ad
dress :
"This is no conference to form alliances,
to divide the spoils of war, to partition coun
tries, to deal with human beings as tho they
weer the pawns in a game of chance.
"In the determination to live at peace
among ourselves we in the Americas . . . stand
shoulder to shoulder in our final deliberations
that others who, driven by war madness or
land hunger, might seek to commit acts of
aggression against us will find a hemisphere
wholly prepared to consult together for our
mutual safety and our mutual good.
"I am profoundly convinced that the
plain people every where in the civilized world
today wish to live in peace one with another.
And still leaders and governments resort to
war.
"The madness of a great war in other
parts of the world would affect us and
threaten our good in a hundred ways."
Mr. William Randolph Hearst, who was
President Roosevelt's most violent critic
during the recent election, has recently em
ployed a son, a son-in-law, and a daughter
of the president.
Just another proof that politics is a sor
did, underhanded thing.
Best informed sources now say that King
Edward will do one oC two things: He will
either appeal to the people of England to
sanction his marriage to Wallie Simpson, or
he will abdicate the throne and marry her
anyway.
The point is that Edward intends to
marry Mrs. Simpson no matter what the cost
to him.
If love in the British Isles is the potent,
irresistable, and regardless force that it ap
pears to be 1he world over, the British people
will stop creating a furor over their King's
romance with a "foreign commoner" and ac
cept the match like the ladies and gentlemen
they are supposed to be. Many times in the
past love of a woman has proven to be more
powerful in dictating the life of a ruler than
has love of an empire.
ON PHILANTHROPY
Demands Intelligent Social
Altruism to Salvage
Democracy.
NEW YORK. (ACP). Pointing
out the social, economic and po
litical significance of the recent
election at the annual dinner of
the chamber of commerce of the
state of New York, President
James Rowland Angell of Yale
university stressed the need of re
planning the whole program of
modern philanthropy.
He warned against any reaction
ary policy which might bring on
a dictatorship in this country, de
claring that if the advantages of a
free democracy were to be sal
vaged, "we must breed a suffici
ently vivid form of intelligent so
cial altruism voluntarily to forego
some of the individual preroga
tives which in a simpler day we
could properly and successfully
claim."
Discusses Federal Aid.
Dr. Angell stated that a new
situation exists which requires
more serious and thoughtful study
as the result of the re-entering of
government on a large scale into
the process of relief.
He said that many whose opin
ions demand respect foresee rela
tively permanent programs for
public work and probably a large
amount of direct government aid.
Also the idea that the government
can cure all economic ills thru tax
ation has a weak basis.
Referring to government welfare
work. Dr. Angell asserted that
the personal touch which the pri
vate agency offers cannot and does
not come from the government
clerk.
Charity at Crossroads.
"To rob our committees of the
element of voluntary giving' on the
part of the intelligent, generous,
and socially minded is to destroy
one of the most precious of human
values and to substitute cold, me
chanical procedure for the warm
hearted cutpouring of humane im
pulse," he said.
"If we do not, as private citi
zens sensitive to the need of our
neighbors and fully aware of our
own selfish interest in a vigorous,
healthy community, support the
agencies that promote all the
things that go to the making of
such a community, we shall quick
ly have suffering and misery and
disease and crime in increased
measure and to allow this to occur
will adversely affect the safety
and happiness of every home and
the contents of every pocketbook,"

Student Parking.
TO THE EDITOR:
The space for the parkin of automobiles
w,';s worlceil out with ffrrat precision on the
eampux. The mimher of stii'lents enrolled was
!ivirer by the number of them who would be
expected to drive cars. For these students and
Ihe faculty parking space w;is provided in or
der that they might reach classes easier. Hut
what do you find when looking for a parking
spm-e? Answer: You find some student ears
parked so that ihey take up mure room than a
house and lot. This practice is unfair to every
one, iiii'ludiriif themselves.
TIih ".Indents and faculty who drive cars
should realize Ihat they have a certain duty
toward their fellowmen. Whin Ihey sit down
to the dinner table, Ihey surely don't sit down
with their feet up on one chair, their elbows on
the other, while they occupy the middle chair.
It is exactly the snme thine when iheir cars
are parked so that the- ruin three, parkiuir
spaces for other drivers. If it isn't crapulent
hotfifishness, then it is merely disregard for the
rights of other members in the community. Of
course, it could be just plain, poor 'driving.
Hut it could hardly be that, as a student who
has completed at least 12 years of progressive
education nhould be able to park a car at a
itiven angle. Kspecially since the manufactur
er of the ear had the driver's interest at heart,
and did everything in his power to facilitate
easy steering.
A line of cars parked at a certain pre
meditated angle, that allows for the utilization
of all available parking space, shows an effi
cient and thoughtful community. Tt demon
strates the innate politeness and high regard
the people in the group have for one another.
Hut where you find the ears parked like a
spilled box of matches, you will find n regres
sive, degenerate community life. Boyd Innes.

WASHINGTON, D. C A man
at a women's luncheon may al
ways expect a novel time some
entertainment, perhaps, at his
own expense but a luncheon of
the Women's National Press club
attended by distinguished women
writers, a congresswoman, the
mayor of New York City, a cor
respondent recently returned from
the Spanish front, and an Austri
an baron who has made an art of
photography, reaches a new high
in interest.
And the topics of discussion
were of direct appeal to young
people, particularly those of col
lege age. The strikingly differ
ent points of view expressed on
domestic and international prob
lems stressed one fact uniformly:
Whether we like it or not, acute
social and economic problems are
going to be handed down to the
present college youth for solution.
The present distressing conditions
both at home and abroad will not
be solved overnight by the waving
of some magician's wand, even
tho the elders who are now in
the saddle may make a start
toward this end. The permanent
solution, so the distinguished
speakers agfreed, must be found
by the men and women whose
main concern right now is prob
ably conference championships
and the approaching holidays.
One brief bit of philosophy
voiced by Baron Mario Bucovich
may be quoted. In discussing the
first job he secured after com
pleting his university work, the
baron said that his foreman, a
hardboiled Irishman, told him
when he (the baron ) attempted
to explain a complicated piece of
machinery: "If you know more
than your boss, you'll be a boss; if
you just think you know more
than your boss, you'll get fired."
Enthusiastic football rivalry
landed a number of Maryland uni
versity students in jail here Thurs
ttoy night as a result of raids and
counter raids by Georgetown uni
versity students and those of the
Maryland school located a few
miles out of Washington. George
town won the first round when
they sallied out to College Paik
and painted the bronze Terrapin
which guards Richie ptadium in
the colors of their school. The ter
rapin, it may be explained, is the
Maryland mascot. They also ser
enaded the Maryland coeds with
Georgetown songs until a fresn
man coed, Virginia Long, counter
ed with a cornet solo of Mary
land's victory march.
Later in the night, Maryland
students invaded Georgetown bent
on revenge and painted some of
the landmarks of that institution.
But somebody called the cops and
the Maryland boys were "run in"
to the Seventh Precinct. Later
they were released.
All of this was preliminary to
the game Saturday between the
Hilltoppers of the Washington uni
versity and the Terps of the Free
State.

"Cultural Olympics" for the pur
pose of discovering and encourag
ing hidden talent of children and
adults in the fields of art and lit
erature are being inaugurated by
the University of Pennsylvania's
school of education.
The aim of the "cultural Olymp
ics" is to promote the cultural in
terests of people and communities.
At present the movement is lim
ited to Philadelphia and its im
mediate area, but it is hoped that
it will eventually become a na
tional trend.
President Gates of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania explained
the new project more fully: "In
acordance with the first objective,
an effort will be made to bring
the cultural olvmnlcs to the at
tention of as many potential com
petitors as possiDie oy esiaoiisn
ing contacts with churches, mu
seums, schools, institutes, settle
ment houses, clubs, and other in
stitutes and organizations wtucn
might serve as helpful clearing
houses for information concerning
the project.
"The second purpose mar. or
suitably rewarding conspicuous
achievement on the part of par
ticipants can be accompnsnea
best, it is felt, by making the
awards of such a character that
they will not be of mere passing
significance but will serve as ve
hicles for the further develop
ments of the cultural talents of
their recipients.
"To this end it is hoped that
provision may be made whereby
a number of these awards will
carry with them the privilege of
study at various institutions which
offer instruction in cultural fields.
"Time and again attention is
called to the careers of men and
women whose hifi-h achievements
n th field of music, sculpture.
painting, and other branches of the
fine arts, were made possiDie
solely by char.ce .
"Possiblv that element of chance
never may be eliminated entirely,
but upon the extent to wnicn it is
minimized thru the establishment
of systematic agencies for the dis
covery and encouregement of la
tent talent wherever it exists,
must denend in larce measure the
cultural progress of society."

THE SCENE CHANGES,
VISITING ALUM FINDS
Whaley Recalls Coach
Once Headed Phys
Ed Department.
G. H. Whaley, member of the
class of '93, a high school teacher
in Columbus, revisited the uni
versity campus Wednesday for tht
first time in many years.
"Everything is changed," he
commented, standing on the steps
of Social Science building, on his
way to pay his respects to former
classmates now on the faculty.
He recalled the days when ths
football team wore navy blue
suits and helmets like those worn
by veterans of the Civil War, and
when the head coach was the
chairman of the physical educa
tion department, in charge of
gymnasium work for all men and
women students.
"Our Englisn teacher used to
d aloud to us the themes of
Willa Cather," he recounted.
"Willa was the star student of
our freshman class." He also re
membered Dorothy Canfield who
commanded the woman's battalion
of the regiment, when Whaley was
in school.

employed by the university for at
least six months.
Funds for the salary increase
will be provided by the recent 7
million dollars Roger Deering gift,
the major portion of which will be
turned over to the university with
in 30 days.
Prof. Jiles W. Haney, chairman
