Seeking
Aid Outside.
Tin- rn)(.s;il iii the late Alumnus tli:it 1 lie

lliroimli civic or;aniy.at ions is one of 1 lie most
prjictie.il inejiiis yet suirirestril 1o cluinsre uni
eamerol frowns on (lie proposed .2 mill levy to
smiles.
Mr. M.ix KiiT, who subtlest el tins mellio.
of eiri-um venting unl'avoralilc in flucnccs, I'iuc
sees tulit "if sueli orgnnizal ions recommend
the lunleel suuiresle.l y tlie seliool. and if tlie
pulilie is informe.l generally, legislators will
Imvo no fear of a il verse criticism when volins
for tliese jippropri.il ions. "
Mr. ICier's sclieme lmrders on a JoMiy. to
work for the good of tlio University of Ne
braska from outside, arn not inside, llie leyis
l.iturc. Certain it is tluit lliis aid, whether it come
I'rom within or without, is needed liadly, Jind
if Ihe university cannot fight its own luitlle in
Ihe legislature, outside aid must le enlisted,
'j'hat ihe university, the largest pulilie business
:n ihe st.ile. should deteriorate because lacking
he support of the legislature which chartered
it is proof sufficient that something should be
lone. What that something should be worries
tlie administration more than Ihe doing. The
University has taken the "no" of the legisla
ture with a pusillanimous grimace of assent
and a vacillating kow-low to the will of a su
perior. It could pain its ends, but, like Mr.
M ilqiielonst, meekly accepls Ihe piven verdict.
If Ihe position of the university were
made clear to the public, if the voter under
stood without interpretive effort that public
education in Nebraska is on the wane, there
would be no difficulty in securing the required
appropriation.
That is the business of a strong university
legislative lobby. The legislators must be
whipped into line just as any big business
whips a legislature into line for its own inter
ests. The university must cease to quaver be
fore adverse decisions. It must learn to stand
firmly and fight back for sustenance.
railing this, the university might per
suade the civic organizations of which Mr.
Kier wrote to fight its battle. If they would
consent to aid the university cause, to boost
the university throughout the state, to talk up
its ease in ihe legislature, their aid would be in
valuable. The university seems to have failed on its
fcwn merits. It must seek new methods of se
curing appropriations other than mere asking.
Until this is done, its educational rank will
continue to fall.

The Temporary Armistice

sides charged Ihe oilier willi breaking its
promise.
The truce had been re.iched after 1." hours
(if negotiating Friday in the office of (iovernor
Murphy of Michigan. In this "honor" agree
ment, Ihe striking union agreed 1o vacate five
(Jcncral Motors plants which they have been
holding since 1he beginning of Ihe strike,
while the corporation in lurn agreed not 1o
try to reopen these plants until a .settlement
had been reached.
The union withdrew its demand to be Ihe
sole bargaining agency for Ihe workers. The
corporal ion in lurn agreed that it would al
low union leaders 1o bargain directly with the
executive heads of fJcncral Motors instead of
through Ihe powerless company managers.
William S. Knudsen, executive viee-presideni
of (Jciicr.il Motors, promised that workers
would not be discriminated against because of
