Associated Golle&iate Pres Distributors of Galleewte Dieted Whose Opinion Is 'Student Opinion?' An earlier editorial began with the sentence: "The Nebraskan is supposed to reflect student opinion." A good mirror does not alter or distort the object it reflects, so another editorial indicated that the Nebraskan would continue without a pro fessed policy "until experience dictated a change." On this basis, the first editorials were written. An attempt was made to interpret student opinions, tack on accompanying arguments, then hold them up for discussion. The Student Pulse, we hac. hoped, would furnish an arena in which to drag out the main issues, clarify the arguments, and arrive at a fair conception of the opinions held by most students. But "student opinion" is too elusive sn article to cast into type metal, so experience dictates a change. Nebraskan editorials will continue in an at tempt to interpret "student opinion" on those issues which are of greatest concern to the student body. But we will no longer lay claim to the title ot "sounding board"; many Issues demand that the column support a definite side. When the subject Involves the interests of the university or the stu dent body as opposed to another group, student in terest will be our first concern. But on issues with in the student body, the Nebraskan will pursue that policy it believes to be the right one, whether or not it represents the opinion of the majority of students. In conjunction with this change of policy, we announce the formation of an editorial board of Oppose ihc Union. To the Editor: At home last week, I was tok y my parents that the alumn; Association was seeking to raist money through donations, to furn ish the new union building.

Instead, they hail this new monument to "the coking hour" as the greatest thing that's, come to the campus in years. G. W. M. The Heat. Not the rirliire. To the Editor: Columnist Sarah Louise Meyer ostentiously attempting to startle her rather indifferent following, offered, in the February 19th edl- firm r.f th Hailv Nebraskan pithy bit concerning sex and the unenlightened university male. Charmingly cynical, free-thinker Mever subtely leaves the impres- sion that in this case the horse and barn dor gag might be ap plied . . . and Imparts to the entire episode the flavor of droll immor ality usually associated with small boys and green apples. As an interested and thoroughly unabashed observer of the fiim. "For All Our Sakes." the writer ran say with authority that the "lad" in question fainted, not for the reason the columnist so deli cately advanced, but because the room In which the film was pro jected could have been no more suffocatingly hot than the famous "Black Hole of Calcutta." R. H M. More ami 31ore About the Court. As a believer in peace and harm-! ony, may I ask for a cessation of the controversy over the Su-; preme Court which threatens to destroy the Intellectual serenity ofl the Nebraska campus? Though! mis serenity oe inoisunguisna&ie : from torpor, we should prefer torpor to the disunity which follows in the wake of controversy. There are affairs of importance approaching on the Nebraska cam put, 1. e Hie Junior-Senior Prom and the election of the Cueen of May, which demand our un divided attention As Abe Lin oln said at Valley Force, "to! the breech, fellow-countrymen," "United we stand, divided we fall." fOne of the prerequisites to a dis cussion of the supreme court is a good quotation, or misquotation. from some eminent statesman With these thoughts in mind, let turn up the controveny con cernlnr judicial reform, and then dismiss it from our minds fori once and all. 1.

The belief that the president would appoint "rubber-stamps" to i the court imputes too little or too much wisdom to the executive, I I don't know which. That he would ! attempt to appoint "liberals." no 'one doubts, but his success is not assured. President Wilson, who led his people into the glories of the "new freedom," appoint d Jus tice Mcl'uynolds; President Cool idpe appointed Justice Ptone, a cor.servative who had adopted, or t"'"n forced into, a liberal position; '"'! President Hoover appointed Justice Ccrdozo. the supporter of the New Deal. Certain suggested appointees of President Roosevelt are New Dealers whose liberalism does riot go very deep: Attorney General ''unimlngs. Senator Jos eph W Robinson, even Prof. Felix Frankfurter. The security, com fort, and life-long tenure of a supreme court berth are dissolv- '' powerful enough to eat away the thin New Ileal varnish which coats certain persons high in administration circles. 5. The provisions for "new blood" in the court are at the heart of the president's proposal, and thus the measure's funda mental purpose Is to pack, or more accurately, repack, the supreme court. It It not certain that the court is behind In its work, or does not perform It thoroughly enough. It is even lets certain that the remedy proposed would solve difficulties of overburdening, present or anticipated. 6. The situation to which the measure is directed is an acci dental, since it depends on chance factors. .No justice has diea or retired during President P-oose-velt's administration, and hence the movement which resulted in tiic two elections of President Roosevelt has had no opportunity to be reflected, directly, in the policies of the supreme court. 7.

M. proves that students value their "coking hour" more than their studies makes little difference here; there will always be a lack of seriousness in a great part of any college population. But the mistaken im pression held by the contributor and his parents, as well as any number of other alumni and citizens of the state, deserves the attention of every student. The Student Union building has not and will not hinder the university's opportunities to secure new library and classroom buildings if students will make the fact known. The union building is a student project. Student agitation made it pos sible; student assessments will finance that part of the cost not included in the government grant. No government donation was available for a new li brary, so the university is fortunate in securing the union building, if for no other reason than the added space in scattered classroom buildings now taken over by student activities. That such an impression exists points again to the lack of contact between the university, the stu dent body, and the state. An educational institu tion, it would seem, would be the first to realize that it is necessary to educate the people of the state to our needs before they are filled. of affairs by positive legislation, and thus runs heaalong into a court minded to retiiri the older order of things. 8. There are several views as to the nature of judicial review, of which we need mention but two. The classic, or conventional, view regards judicial review as an auto- i matic process into which the (judge's economic and political philosophy do not enter. This view 'is expressed by Justice Roberts in 'the majority opinion of the A. A. J A. case where he explains that the justice sits down with the constitution in one hand and the legislation in the other and merely bv comparing phrases determines if the proposed legislation is with in the bounds of the constitution. The second explanation of judi cial review, variously called the sociological, scientific, or realirtic. holds that the line of demarcation between what is constitutional and what is not is determined, not on strictly legalistic, or logical grounds, but according to the phil osophy of the justice, according to his political, social and eco nomic beliefs, according to his own idea of what legislation should be enacted. These views are inconsistent with each other, but it is inter esting that they are sometimes expressed by the same person in a single statement. Thus i conservatives, who generally ad- j here to the former theory, ex plain that the process of judicial review is an automatic process which should be exercised by an independent H. e. unaccountable) judiciary, and at the same time cry out that President Roose velt Is attempting to pack the j supreme court with persons vho hold his cwn political and eco nomic philosophy.. If the pro- cess is automatic, what has philosophy to do with it? Ad herents of the proposed reform also attempt to merge these views: They ask for a continu ance of judicial review on the ground that review is automatic in nature, and yet believe in packing the court. If the court automatic view of tha judicial is to be packed according to the review? Persons who hold the process usually turn to unani mous decisions of the court (such as the NRA decision in substantiation of their position, while believers in the "realistic" theory point to 5-4 and 6-3 de cisions (railroad pensions and AAAi. S. Tin ugh I have tried to make this discussion somewhat bi-partisan. I have no hesitation in making known my own bias in the matter I adhere to the sociological theory, am not convinced of the necessity of judicial review, but believe that if our court is to overrule the elected representatives of the peo ple, its membership should be "packed" according to the trend of the times, as reflected in the regularly-held elections. One further point might lie mentioned: The NP.A decimon Is not as compelling as It is sometimes made to appear. First, there were two points at issue, the delegation of powers and the regulation of interstate commerce. Had the latter issue been considered separately we max well believe that the court wouli' have been divided aa it was in the AAA ot the railroad retirement case. Secondly Cardoso's strong words "delegation run riot." must be set In their historical context Cardoro had opposed the other justices In the precedin' "hot oil" cane on this very question of rtle. gallon of power, and if was only Mrs. Osa Johnson to Lecture Here ivV, 'vv -4 (Continuing alone the career ofhusband in all his travels in the explorer and lecturer she formerlyCHnnibal islands of the South Seas, carried on in colaboration with her1,1;,, Born( 3unKles. ,and t'ie Af . . , ,, , rican wilderness.

AROUND AND ABOUT (Continued from Page l.i the silence would probably count as sufficient return of thanks, The impending junior league art contest and exhibit crowded Kady Faulkner's "oils" class out of the galleries into the hall for their weekly showing and criti cism last Friday. The students sat on the floor on one side of the corridor facing their own ef forts leaning against the oppo site wall. In passing judgment Miss Faulkner quite surrounded herself with paintings to illus trate her points: one in each hand, and one propped against each leg. This same charming lady was reported as having commented ruefully on the works submitted by junior leaguers, "Some of i them have awfully nice frames." Dear R. H.

To you who read A, E. Hous nian's "A Shropshire Lad" and liked it, who read "Last Poems" and liked it even better, and who are scouting about now, trying to get his posthumous volume "More Poems," we suggest the reading of the little book by him called "The Name and Nature of Poet ry." It was originally a lecture delivered at Cambridge university, but has since been printed in book form. Housman discusses what good poetry is and what good poetry is not with examples drawn from English poets. It is his contention that poetry is more physical than Intellectual. His own reaction is: Experience has taught me, when I am shaving of a morning, to keep watch over my thoughts, be cause if a line of poetry strays into my memory, my skin bristles so that the razor ceases to act." As if that wasn't earthly enough he breaks our pious notion of how poetry is written with: "Having drunk a pint of beer at luncheon beer is a sedative to the brair and my afternoons are the least intellectual portion of my life 1 would go out for a walk of two or three hours. As I went along, thinking of nothing in particular, only looking at things around me and following the progress of the seasons, there would flow into my mind, with sudden and unaccount able emotions, sometimes a line or two of verse, sometimes a whole stanza at once, accompanied, not preceded, by a vague notion of the poem which they were destined to form part of." HUSKER DEBATERS GET TREAT AT CHICAGO'S HOBO COLLEGE. (Continued from Page 1.1 bate that he would be allowed three minutes in which to present his side of the controversy. More than a dozen hoboes did present their opinions. Arguing questions dealing directly with the question of the debate to socialism and what tended to be communistic, the members of the International Order of Hoboes spoke freely and fluently of their ideas. "These men were a friendly group but also a serious group." William Curtis said. "It was sur prising the amount of informa tion that those men possessed. They could talk unhesitantly and could all express themselves freely. Particularly, their argu ments centered around principles of life and they believed that the common man should have more liberty and freedom." Educated in Chicago. Educated by lectures of out standing professors of Chicago and Northwestern universities, the hobos thought critically and sin cerely. Such a group of men have banded together to learn, live and enjoy. Social life is a part of their routine but "principles of life" oc cupy most ot their time of dis cussion and argument. Convinced that the common man should have more liberty and freedom, probably thru a different governmental set up, the hoboes agreed with the Chicago debaters who upheld a more liberal side of the question. "It was a good debate. But Ne braskans, altho they are pretty good guys, just don't think right."

Therefore, it will be the task of the senior committee al ready appointed to begin work. "Other committees will be ap pointed after the organization committee has met and laid its plans for the semester's work," concluded Baker. R. RAMSEY COMMENDS ALUMNI ATTITUDE ON STUDENT UNION FUND (Continued from Page l.i wrote: 'I understand you are raising money for a Student Un ion building. I think it is a fine idea." With the letter was his check for $10. Prof. M. D. Weldon, instructor in agronomy, does not favor a Union building. He would rather see a new library or classroom building erected. Only one dis senter was encountered by Secre tary Ramsav on his tour. A wealthy Denver alumnus was still annoyed because he couldn't get a seat on the 50 yard line for the Pittsburgh game last fall. He finally tendered a $3 donation which was declined. Quota Plan. The Alumnus association is fol lowing the quota plan to raise the $75,000 necessary to furnish the building. Each county in Nebras ka and every large city in the na tion has been assigned a certain quota to raise in proportion to the number of alumni residing in that district. For the most part the quotas will be raised by personal solicitation One Nebraska coun ty has already filled its apportion ment.
