Ail Opportunely
For a Few Students
The university docs not have nil artist
scries, yet. Many of the torpor schools do
have such a scries, providing their students
tlie opportunity o hearing the best music.
Trobnlily the most famous oC these university
artist proprnms, in the eentral states nt lenst,
is presented nt Minnesota in conjunction with
the Minneapolis symphony orchestra.
Nebraska just hasn't got around to this
necessary phase of cultural education. But
the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra association
under the management of Florence Gardner
provides two encouragements for those who
hope for an artist's series on the campus.
The orchestra association's program and
price to students keeps alive the taste for
such programs and demonstrates the need
for such an opportunity for students by
showing the large student interest,
A month ago Mrs. Gardner had sold 5n0
Season tickets to the seven concert series nt
the remarkably low price of $3..ri(). The price
to non-students was $7.50. As the ticket sales
closed temporarily, Mrs. Gardner had the
names and addresses of 150 students who could
not be accommodated because of the limited
capacity of any available hall in which to give
the programs. ,
The Liberty theater and St. Paul's cathe
dral have now been obtained for the series,
which is to begin this month. Consequently,
Mrs. Gardner has 200 student books for sale.
The 130 former reservations will be honored
if they nre called for in time, and the re
maiudcr of the student books will be sold to
iirst comers.
The adjunct to education offered by seven
'excellent musical proprnms, including five
world renowned artists, cannot be piven a
Monetary evaluation. Because of a desire to
bring the series to students nnd to stimulate
;their interest in this phase of culture, Mrs.
Gardner sets the student price at 50 cents a
concert.
print the best letter ever submitted to lhe Xe
brnskan against the Union. Missing 1'irc on
1he question of ""Why the Union When "We
Needed Other l'uildinss?" since it was n mat
ter of Union or nothing and not Union or
other buildings, the letter does, however, pre
sent very emphatically certain evils that the
Union may engender on the campus, 'if not
checked by intelligent direction and co-operation.
Here's the letter. 'Renicinber that the
Union didn't hurt the cause of the library, or
if it did, the thing to do is forget it. AVill
someone refute the avowals lhat the Union is
to be a glorified pool hall nnd an indictment
on the university?
A Challenge to
Faculty and Students
For the remainder of the week it will be
the main editorial purpose of the Daily Ne
braskan to get some talk started on the uses,
the value, and the purposes of the Student
Union building. The corner stone laying cere
mony is slated for Friday night. It is the feel
ing of the Innocents, who nre sponsoring the
formality, and of other leaders on the campus
that if the Union is to accomplish iis main
function of establishing an esprit de corps in
the student body, a great deal of enthusiasm
and intelligent student thinking on the Union
is necessary.
The Inquiring Reporter's query in yes
terday's paper concerning the benefits ex
pected from the Union revealed a good deal
of enthusiasm, but not much solid thinking
on the purpose of the building. The Ne
braskan would very much like to get a num
ber of student and faculty letters today and
tomorrow on the value of the Union.
This morning for several reasons we re-
Let Them
Eat Cake
To the Editor:
Nebraska is to have a Student Union.
Over its doors should he inscribed the famous
words of Marie Antoinette, "let them eat
cake." This is not meant to be a pun on 1 br
eaking which will take place in a Student
Union. It is a most fitting inscription for a
building conceived by petty political ambition
and -born of folly. Such is the history (if our
Student Union.
Ts the University of Nebraska to lie an
institution of learning or a matrimonial bu
reau? When a school needing a new library,
dormitories ami new scientific equipment
spends money for a place of recreation, a meet
ing place for the socially minded, one is in
clined to wonder. When a school of over .Villi)
with dormitory accommodations for npprosi
mntely 200 spends money for a place to spend
daytime hours and ignores the housing prob
lem, something is wrong. When a school with
a library so small that over one half of 1he
books nre stored in tunnels underneath the
campus erects a place for students to bowl
nnd play pool, there is n large colored person
under a small woodpile.
Not that there is no good in a Student
Union. There is a great deal. But our pres
ent project is untimely. The idea is a good
one the removal from this campus of the
big city attitude, the "you go your way and
I'll go mine" attitude. The trouble lay in
the fact that a group of campus politicians
seized on this idea and the new deal freedom
of funds to create an ill timed monstrosity.
The building will, in the eyes of the gradu
ates and parents of students and prospective
students damn the university as playground
and damage its reputation as an educational
institution. '
The students of the university, 1he lax
payers of the state, and the taxpayers oT the
nation are erecting a monument 1o the herd
instinct of 5.000 supposedly free thinking, edu
cated students. Ignoring our inadequate li
brary, our lack of decent housing and our
dearth of scientific equipment, thev have
turned their misdirected energies 1o the erec
tion of a combination pool hull, bowling alley,
dance hall, ami meeting place for the more
frivolous of the students. The bread of uni
versity life has been neglected to supply lhe
trimmings. Truly the inscription over the door
should be: "Let them eat cake."

Shakespeare hits the local screen
In a re-do this week of classic
"F.omeo and Juliet" with Norma
Snearer, she of immortal "Smilin'
Thru." and Leslie Howard. The
film featreg Basil Rathbone as the
heavy. Here before at un-populur
price as a roadshow attraction,
thla is the first time the picture
can be seen for common dough.
The hol-polloi will not go for it, I
fear, aa it's pretty Shakespeary In
parts Ju.st the sort of thlnp
Howard revels in. Which brings on
the spasm about the electrician
who shooed visitors off the set
during a temperamental outburst
by Howard with "Don't mind him,
folks, he's been doing 'Hamlet' on
the legitimate stage and he isn't
used to having people vatch him
at work."
Like that other star-spangled
oner, "Midsummer Night's
Dream," Juiiet isn't doing so well
at the box-office. Dream however
paid back better dividends.
Coming up at the Lincoln in the
near, near future are features of
the really best type, offspring of
the best season of the year from
an entertainment standpoint.
Among them rang such notable
dramae as:
"Big City" with Spencer Tracy
nd Louise Rainer, "That Certain
! Woman" with Bette' Davta and
"Topper" featuring Cary Grant,
Conntance Bennett and Poland I
Young.
Mvrna Loy and Lucky Armur
Hornblow have been married a
year now and still it goes on.
Would that I were alloted a shekel
for every man that dreams of him
self In Hornblow's slippers. He you
know is a producer.. . .And I'd say
he had something to blow his horn
about.
To Barney Oldfield, flickercrit
for the Lincoln Journal goes un
ending thanks for his services to
this budding enterprise. If ve

and Ktenogruphers.
In Kharp eontia.st to last year'fc
annual, special artists from SU I
Joseph, Mo., havt worked out the j
lay-outs for the special sections !
of the book. "1 have been work
ing on plans for this anniml since
la.st August and expect to nmke
it the best annual we have ever
put out," said the editor.
We know that you ro faking,
tor we have seen you jamming i ti-
to the booths nt the Drug, the Inn
and the Moon.
We think that vou hnve a good
tin., for we hiive heard your
laughter and seen you sit for
hours - talking.
But do you get nnvthlng prac
tical out of it ? Po you feel that
caking forms a necessity nnd use
ful part of yuor college life? Is
there a "Case for Caking?"
Mary Louise Spcidell, Bizad soph
omore. "Personally, 1 think it's n good
iden. When a shim II group of stu
dents gels together to talk over
some mutual problem, they gain a
great deal from the exchange of
ideas. They see the question in the
'light of someone's experiences,
other than their own.
"The practice is especially bene
ficial to those who rlo not live in
an organized house. Those students
rarely find themselves in a discus
sion group, and seldom talk over
their theories with anyone.
"Of course, it should not be in
dulged in to the extent that you
cut classes, but every so often it
can be very beneficial."
Fredrick Cheuvront, Bizad sopho
more: "It's a waste of time. The peo
ple who do it sit around talking
about nothing, mt getting any
where, losing a lot of valuable
time.
"I don't think that very many
serious discussions of student ideas
are carried on then: the atmos
phere is not that which is con
ducive to serious discussions. Most
of the people who go caking do
it juFt to he seen, anyway."
Milada Kriz, Bizad freshman:
"You must have some social en
tertainment added to your educa
tion to make it complete, nnd
there is where I feel that caking
plays its part.
"Thru conversations with oth
ers you get a different slant on
things, you modify your own opin
ions by the addition of the ideas
and opinions of others.
"Getting together ami talking
things over provides a good out
let for ideas. When you know so
few people ,it helps to have some
one with whom you can talk.
Thus, it selves to bring the stu
dents closer together."
Wilford Clark, Engineering Col
lege freshman:
"1 think it is very worthwhile.
Almost any topic is liable to come
up in such a discussion it teaches
yon to converse intelligently, to
talk on a variety of subjects, to
organize your ideas quickly and to
present them clearly.
"Vou make your real friends by
talking to someone. I would think
that a large percentage of the last
ing friendships formed here in
school arc begun by exchanging
ideas over a coke.
"The way things are now, you
have a difficult time finding a
place to meet someone to really
talk things over. It will really
be fine when a place is made
available to us."
Mildred Freeman, Teachers college
freshman:
"In a way. I feel that caking has
its benefits. You meet more peopie.
Ey talking things over with those
whom you already know, you be
come better acquainted with them.
Many lasting friendships are
formed over coffee or cokes.
"The best thine that caking
does is to give one an idea of
what someone else is thinking on
a certain subject you get the
opinion of other people, and you
learn that there are other sides to
a question beside your own.
"It is a necessary part of your
education, as it broadens your
knowledge by giving you an im
partial view of the subject."

can be used profitably on lessons,
nnd perhaps even if it cannot.
"If properly treated, it can add
to your education, in the sense
lhat it develops, your conversa
tional ability. You benefit from
hearing the ideas of others, you
learn the facts about a thing by
mulling over the ideas of your
friends,
"You may, however, gain all
these advantages in other wavs
than caking, so its value is largely
a matter of personal opinion."
Ruth E. Gree.i, Teachers college
sophomore:
"Caking, with the assumption
that those participating are talk
ing about something worthwhile,
is an excellent idea.
"You learn to express your own
Ideas in a logical order, "you hear
the other side of the question ex
pressed by another person, you
discuss die relative merits of both
views, and you find out that the
other fellow has a right to his own
opinion, and that it may he Just
as good or better than yours.
"The surroundings help a lot
they are so much less formal than
that of a library. You feel freer to
express yourself.
"A very necessary part of your
college training is learning to meet
people, to talk to them, and to get
along with them. One of the better
ways whereby you may gain those
things is through caking in the
sense that a group of conscientious
students gathers over cokes to
discuss some new idea."
Jean McAllister, Arts and Sciences
freshman.
"It CRM be a good thing. . .if all
the group nre of about the same
intelligence, they can help one an
other by presenting different opin
ions on the subject, by picking
apart the various ideas, and by
stimulating one another into some
active thinking on the subject."
When coeds at the University
of Washington nre, through reno
vating the manners of the mascu
line contingency on the campus,
there won't tie a man who will
dare to keep a girl talking on the
telephone more than five minutes
when she should be studying.
The coeds arc being subtle about
the thing though. "It Is Pone,"
new l'l" edition of the campus
etiquette book, Is going to be
part of every man's library if coed
sales-girls have anything to say
about it.
Among the un-Emily Tostian
things Joe College will have called
to his attention is lhe habit of
monopolizing the sorority's only
davenport, breaking blind dates
and letting frail coeds open heavy
campus doors all by themselves.
