X semester's work on the Nebraskan is a semester's course in practical democracy. You rub shins with the great and the op pressed, the saints and the fellow sinners, and come out with what approaches a philosophy of life. You learn how cheap this commodity called publicity is, and how some folks overestimate its worth. You discover those pro fessors who are conservative and those who say what they believe, and once in a while you run across a student who possesses what Diogenes called "intellectual, integrity. ' But the most obvious fact that comes home to the denizens of the copy mill is this: The appalling lack of students in this uni versity who are interested in cultural pursuits. Now we feel better. We've realized our ambition to write a thirty" article that didn't ooze with alligator tears. We thank those who helped us. We hope the next staff has equal, or even better co-operation. With this issue, we suspend publication of the Nebraskan until the new semester. The next edition will appear Tuesday, Feb. THE MANAGING EDITORS.

A rare phenomenon in campus life, even at exam time, is the haples.i soul who learns "all he knows'- from books. Most student are so busy fulfilling the extra curricula r demands upon their time that actual contacts with col umes of knowledge are crammed into small chance vacancies in a diversified but rigorous schedule. The failure to utilize long hours of each day in absorbing the wisdom of the ages from books is a human, even laudable fault. In the long run an activity filled program makes for more balanced individ uals, if not a university of Phi Beta Kappas. No one can b.v that following a career of total abstinance, re garding the nectar of knowledge is advisable. But validly it must be admitted that a diet Boley of such heady wine scarcely provides "resistance" for any sort of earthly life outside the cloister of college. There are many who will doubt the very existence of such deep drinking students. Those known to the average col legian at all are usually regarded as "misfits" -which they are. Perhaps it is in defense of their own shortcomings that lackadais ical university students scoff at the book worshipper.

This j meeting was devoted to the oppor I tunity for students to give their I inteipretation of the qualities ! which a college prolessor should ! posses. The greater amount of the 1 discussion centered upon the prob lem as to whether or not the pro ' lessor should divulge his personal j opinion upon matters from which several opinions could be derived. ! One of t he prominent professors I told of his perplexity when he and other students never could deter mine whether a certain instructor was a democrat or a republican; at times it seemed that he had def inite Inclinations, but at the end of the course the students were still In a quandary. This curiosity to know what the professor believes is very often quite potent. It comes about when a professor has directed the stu dents' interest to a problem which has many contested interpretations or solutions. After having their in terest aroused the students would really like to know the opinion held by the professor upon the matter; some want this opinion because It would obviate me re-, cessily of their thinking to reach ' one; others would like to know It j for the sake of argument ; still olh-. .(Continued on Page 2.) j L APPOINT SIAFFS THURSDAY AT 3 Officials to Fill 16 fosts On Daily Nebraskan, Awgwan.

Dr. Freiderich Schoenemann, able apologist for the government of Adolf Hitler better defined in his own words as a "propagandist" made his last public appearance at the University of Nebraska Tuesday night. Fifty students of German, their parents and friends, potential nazis and nazi baiters heard Dr. Schoe nemann give an earthy lecture on German farm life, illustrated with slides of blue eyed Bavarian frau leins and intricate graphs on the import quota of farm products. Dr. Schoenemann says that good reporting consists of facts, not distorted, not maliciously emphasized. Attempting to up- hold the better standards of the j American press, the writer will j not color the facts in this story.

By Morris Lipp, With abated breath rabid follow ers of Nebraska football destinies will await word from Austin to day, as Dana X. Bible, Cornhusker coach and athletic director, meets with the officials of the University of Texas to decide who will be Texas' next coach. The subject of one vi the biggest athletic storms m recent yearj, Coach Bible lctt Huskerland Mon day morning for Fort Worth, where it whs reported that he vis ited with his wile's mother. From there he went on to Austin to in vestigate loot ball conditions before the board meeting. Negotiations at. Austin may turn out to be the stumbling block that wiil bring Coarh Bible back to Lincoln to forget Texn.s' proposal. Coach Bible asserted before he left the Nebraska campus, thai, he must have the favorable reactions of all groups in Texas, and only the unanimous good will of all groups would inttiebt him in filling the coaching vacancy. Bible Wants $15,000. Dr. H. Y. Benedict, president of Texas U., is opposed to paying any athletic director-ioolljaU coacn un annual salary that tops the amount received by any member of the educational staff. Benedict receives $tf,000 per year and top proiessorial salary is $5,000. It was understood that Coach Bible would seek SIF.OOO annually for a five or ten year contract, or $25,000 annually for himself and his coach ing staff. His salary at Nebraska is around $11,000. The man who is sponsoring the "Bible for Texas" movement is H. J. L. Stark, millionaire oil man from Orange, Tex., who has been a godfather to the athletic depart ment of the Lone Star university.. His interest, plus that of the alum ni, in the athletic well being of Texas U. is believed to be strong enough to give a substantial bonus to the coach who produces a win ning football team. Texas Seeks Big Name. Texas is seeking a "big name" coach to take over the grid destin ies of the Long horns, and Coach, Bible fits in the scheme of things perfectly. Since Coach Bible came to Nebraska in 1929, succeeding Ernest Bearg, he has piloted the Huskers to 50 victories, 15 losses and seven ties. His advent to Ne braska has spelled the securing of the nation's best grid teams on the Husker schedule, including, of course, Minnesota. Pittsburgh and Indiana. Many skeptics have termed the Bible arranged schedules "suicid al," but they forget that such classic contests have "made" Ne biiiska. Never before in grid his tory lias the state of Nebraska received as much nation wide pub licity because of the outstanding showings of the Cornhuskera un der Coach Bible, as this past tea son.
