One Vote Can
Save State Institutions
Students and citizens cognizant of the needs of
the university and other state institutions have
every right to rejoice at the support given legisla
tive bill No. 33 in the legislature Thursday.
Lacking one vote of the two-thirds majority
necessary for emergency enactment, the record vote
on the amendment demonstrated that a substantial
majority believes that the time for retrenchment is
past, that Nebraska must advance.
If a call of the house next Friday or Monday
yields one additional affirmative vote, the forces
for progressive action have won their battle. Fail
ing in this, state institutions must return to the
ruinous practices of deterioration and decay.
And This Was
Two Years Ago
In the current Atlantic Monthly Edwin K. m
bree lists the first 11 American universities in order
of their eminence.
He relies upon the appraisals of the relative
eminence of the several departments of universi
ties, made by competent scholars in each field. He
considers also the concentration of most eminent
scholars in the various universities and the schol
arly output, measured by publication, of the fac
ulties. In conclusion, he places Harvard first, followed
by Chicago, Columbia, California, Yale, Michigan,
Cornell, Princeton, Johns Hopkins, Wisconsin and
Minnesota.
Nebraska university does not appear on the
list, nor is it mentioned In any connection what
soever. Many other state universities are likewise not
mentioned. It is to be expected that the privately
endowed institutions, with their millions of dollars
of resources, should be able to attract, on the basis
of salary alone, many of the most eminent profes
sors. Nevertheless, there are four state universi
ties among the top 11. Nebraska's absence from
any consideration serves to raise the question
whether the state is doing all that it should to sup
port the university, and whether regents and fac
ulty are doing all they should to add to its scholastic
prestige.
The question goes beyond the matter of taxes.
It Is true that the university budget, along with
other state expenditures, has been necessarily cut
to the bone in recent years. The legislature Just
adjourned reduced the current biennial appropria
tion below the governor's recommendation. So in
sistent were some of the members of the lower
house upon a drastic slash that the senate yielded,
and James E. Lawrence, the Lincoln editor, was
moved to charge that the result was due to an ac
tive hatred of Nebraska university on the part of a
few legislators.
One can hardly believe that any such feeling of
hatred is widespread. The university was founded
as one of the first acts of the new state, because
Nebraska's pioneers had a noble vision of a system
of public education, to be crowned by a university
course. The faculty in the past has included emi
nent men. Hardly a town in the state Is without
business and professional leaders who are univer
sity alumni. The people of the state do not want
to destroy their university.
But scholars no longer congregate at Nebraska.
Faculty members are distinguished by the paucity
rather than by the abundance of their publications.
What national renown the university enjoys is due
largely to the fame of its football team. Much as
one rejoices in the prowess of Cornhusker elevens,
one wishes that the team were more a symbol of
all around prestige and less a lonely occupant of
the heights.
The problem calls for earnest study by the re
gents, to be followed by a frank statement to the
public. If the university is in a scholastic slump,
the reasons should be discussed and stated. If fi
nancial stringency is entirely to blame, let that fact
be known. If there is loss of energy, enthusiasm,
zeal or learning, eagerness for research and pur
pose to enlarge the field of knowledge due to other
than financial causes, let that be known, too. If
freedom In educational work and advancement in
knowledge are to be the field only of privately en
dowed institutions, and state universities are to lose
standing because of political hazards, let the people
be warned of that danger.
One wants to believe that Nebraska is too big
and fine a state, her people too progressive, to be
content, for long, with a mediocre university.

'Omaha World-Herald June 5, 1935.)

COLUVNIZED KOSMET
COMMENTS.
It was proposed by the revered
and feared G. C. W. that we write
a Kosmet show review to end all
reviews. Our fingers Itched for the
task. For we think the show is
neither as "lousy" nor as "colos
sal'' as critically described. It's
good and it's bad. But it's swell
fun regardless, especially when
someone loses his padding, or
dances completely out of the rou
tine. It would be sweller fun, how
ever, if the Bar-O Ranch were
played very straight, and the in
congruities were allowed to be
their own best humor. The vision
of your fraternity brother doing
a hippy rhumba Is highly mirth
provoking to you and to someone
who has never seen him before,
but his coy ogling at the audience
convulses Just you who know him.
The most side splitting comedy
is the earnest, poker facial va
riety, imbued with the creation of
the illusion of reality and sin
cerity about the antics at hand.
Funny business is very serious
business to the comedian. This lies
riot necessarily in the polish of the
work you don't have to be a "pro
fessional" but rather in the ap
proach to the material. So cut out
the horse opera, fellows, and you'll
have a tops show.

Defeated Without Clause.
In a trial vote without the
emergency clause the measure
was defeated 21 to 12. Passage
without the emergency would have
meant that the act would have
operated during the fiscal year of
1933 only.
Legislative bill No. 334 Is in

over two millions for the biennium.
Governor R. L. Cochran haa rec
ommended building appropriations
for about three-quarters of a mil

the building levy. Therefore the
bill would have made about a
million and a quarter available

Fan Letter?
Dear Barbarians:
T biyi not interested In Barbs as
political independents if the only
desire of faction leaders is to satls-
fv their personal esros by getting
some political office. Political inde
pendence is of no value unless
there is some known Issue at stake.
I am very interested in the part
the Barbs will have in the student
union. It can be the greatest co
hesive force that the Barbs can
have. Cohesive because It can veld
new student into a strong unity
by their mutual efforts to com oat
lonesomeness.
Tr i nittful to watch new Barb
students enter the university each
tall and otserve tne gradual sap
ping of their self confidence by
lonesomeness.
Fraternities and sororities guard
against this with their hour dances
and parties. Barbs are offered a
similar type of entertainment but,
heretofore, have had little oppor
tunity to learn much about these
forms of recreation.
I suggest the following course
of action:
1. Continuation of the column
"BARBARISMS" with Its policy
"for and about" Barbs.
2. A 1937-38 Barb program
with the student union as the
hub of its activities.
I think that a program of this
type will create a better school
spirit and draw everyone a lot
closed together.
If you knock out that "lost"
feeling, I believe the Barbs will be
satisfied with their .independence.

tor Morava suggests? Perhaps we
could better ask will it bring Barb
solidarity? The point at issuo
needs clarification and arguflca
tlon. What about it Barbs?
Certainly the provision In the
union constitution, which at I pit
lates that three of the seven stu
dents on the governing board
must be unaffiliates, guarantees
to" campus Barbs a proper
amount of control over union
policies. But does It mean there
fore that Barbs, as a group, will
enjoy the social privileges on an
equality with sororities and fra
ternities; or, will the organized
Greeks, by virtue of their organ
ization, continue to monopolize
the Don's share of campus ac
tivities? Another point which needs ex
planation Is the final sentence In
Morava's letter: "If you knock out
that 'lost' feeling, I believe the
Barbs will be satisfied with their
independence." How will it be ac
complished, Victor, and what is
their INDEPENDENCE?
