WE SALUTE THEE
An unknown quantity to ninny
downtown students is the Ag cam
pus. The college stands for tructor
testing or home economics and
very little else. This.- of course, is
a lot of hooey, and it's time some
thing was done about it. Even if
you're not interested in animal
husbandry or bee culture or tex
tiles or hotel management, you
should know that that part of the
university is noted for its dairy
products, its pamphlet service to
housewives on everything from
table etiquette to making slip
covers, and its unusual and rare
trees and flowers. And of course
there is the Farmers' Fair. These
(ire things which even lay town's
oeople know.
But most of all you should
know about the cafeteria. There
Wednesday night is steak night
huge juicy steaks at an unbe
ievably low price. The service is
jmiling, the entire bill of fare
enticing, and they don't com
plain when you walk out with
the steak bones for your dog.
They'll bring you all the things
you forget, unload your tray,
and don't glare when you come
late.
We remember the cafeteria of
years back, when, as the pater
familias puts it, "I couldn't trust
you kids to carry trays." We
always got thb delicious sundaes
and cocamalt, and vied for the job
of filling the family's water glasses
at the push-in faucet. The place
seems to have grown up in tune
with the times; "poised" is the
best way we can describe the pre
sent day institution. Certainly
it's well worth anyone's more than
casual palate acquaintance.
Give the Boys
Half a Chance
One of the most heart break
ing items in the news of to
day is the crushing defeat of
Teacher's college high by Lin
coln high in the state basket
ball tourney. No one gains any
thing by a 62-0 victory, and the
effect on the team on the short
end of the lop-sided seesaw
must inevitably leave a scar.
Overwhelming odds", stunning
reversals break a team's morale,
lick them in advance. Let the
boys tackle opponents some
where near their own size.
Lei Us Veil Like
The Cyclones Yell
Of course the basketball season
for Nebraska is over, but perhaps
ideas for future reference are in
order. The cheering at Iowa State
is a clever integration of yells and
the roll of drums, alternating in
neatly timed cooperation. Indeed
the band worked hand in hand
with shouting fans to arouse and
augment enthusiasm. Perhaps the
perennial Cornhusker sore spot,
spiritless cheering, would be im
proved by a heavy injection of
similar percussion nap. And the
Ames school's "sax sex" (saxo
phone sextet) meets with our ap
proval too.
We Find It
Isn't So Had
We're awfully slow in getting
around to some of the less well
known but most worthwhile in
stitutions of the school. And so we

the first time Wednesday. Because

1937 CORNHUSKER
New Yearbook Memorializes
Pioneer Unicameral
Experiment.
In recognition of the Importance
of Nebraska's history-making uni
cameral legislature, the 1037 Corn
husker will be dedicated to the
present body of state legislators,
Editor Bill Marsh revealed today.
Dedication to this group will ap
pear in the form of a double-page
spread in the 1937 yearbook, with
a picture of the unicameral as it
appeared while being sworn in,
and an insert of its originator,
Senator George W. Norris.
Carrying out the dedication still
farther, Kditor Marsh announced
plans to present each senator with
a complimentary copy of this
year's annual. The name of each
senator to whom a book is given
will be embossed in gold on the
cover, Marsh explained.
Dedication.
The dedication which will appear
in the Cornhusker is as follows:
Nebraska has long been a pio
neering state. Its magnificent
state capitol is acclaimed one of
the architectural triumphs of
modern times. The unicameral
legislature, hailed as perhaps
the major political experiment in
state government in a century,
is the outstanding feature of the
year 1936-37 for Nebraska. The

Three hundred Agricultural col

Thursday evening for the first

of the fair which will be held May

ceremonies for the pep meeting.
The meeting was held for the
purpose of acquainting the fresh
men with the purpose and tradi

White, manager, spoke briefly, ex
plaining that the Farmers fair
board is the instrument for stu

projects for the annual event. The
duties are divided among all Ag
students interested in the success
of the various exhibits and shows
of which the fair is composed.
Members of the Ag Dramatics

and "The Lighthouse." LeRoy

the service of the circulation and
reference department.
Magazines are useful to every
student for the simple fact that
they publish well-written articles
on subjects of present day interest.
It is in magazines that the student
can first find interpretations of
recent events and developments
and authoritative opinions on mat
ters of current importance. While
it is true that newspapers first
report the facts, it is also true
that newspapers seldom make any
intcipretations except on editorial
pages. Books are often so long
in preparation that by the time
they are published they may be
out of date.
Supplement Studies.
The clement or recency affords
you the opportunity to supplement
your course work in the university.
Let us asume that you ure enrolled
in the introductory course in eco
nomies. You will find in the
periodical reading room maga
zines which keep up to date the
developments in the economic
world, for example, the Commer
cial and Financial Chronicle, Bar
rens, Federal Reserve Bulletin,
and the Survey of Current Busi
ness. Those registered in the more
advanced courses in economics
will find developments of theory
in such magazines as Economica
and the American Economic Re
view. If you are a student iu the
first course in sociology you may
be interested in the American
Journal of Sociology and the
American Sociological Review.
These examples do not exhaust
the possibilities for using maga

No one need entertain the false hope that Nebraska's
student enrollment will fall off during the next few years,
miraculously solving1 the university's financial problems. The
situation at Nebraska reflects a national trend, and freshman
registration, as forecast by every statistical method, is bound
to rise for the next decade.
After a study of trends in population, immigration, and
the numbers of students in primary and secondary schools,
a New York university sociologist recently published the con
clusion that there will be a constant increase in university
population until the 1940 's, when the enrollment curve will
flatten out.
Figures compiled for every American university by the
United States Office of Education reflect the identical trend
shown in the accompanying graph; there was a general in
crease in enrollment during the period from 1932-33. But the
swing is now upward, and every university whose needs have
not been recognized by its legislature is fighting for exist
ence. Nebraska is facing this dilemma, which presents itself
in doubly-bitter proportions. We will actually have LESS
money to instruct the 2,100 freshmen of 1937 than we had for
the 1,400 freshmen of 1932.
The Nebraskan receives exchange copies of student news
papers from nearly every other American university, many of
them reporting drives for an increased budget to meet in
creased needs. At the University of California, with which
Nebraska, Texas and Washington outrank all other western
schools in enrollment, they are asking that their 13 million
dollar appropriation be raised to 15 million dollars. Although
their registration is not three times as large as ours, they are
now receiving FIVE TIMES as much financial support from
the state.
Nebraska's requests are not extravagant; they are
hardly sufficient to continue the efficient courses of study
which we have had in the past. Only false economy could
dictate the serious crippling of a twelve million dollar educa
tional institution.

Dr. Weaver has been asked to
