To the
Student Council;
Perhaps you noticed recent suggestions as
to how you might be instrumental in bringing
about an enlarged scholarship list at Nebraska.
Since you are to meet today a reminder might
encourage some action on your part toward
these suggestions. It is our belief that your or
ganization might accomplish some really
tangible work if you would give consideration
to a task of this sort instead of whiling away
most of your valuable time with committee
reports, which have thus far failed to materi
alize into a great deal of achievement.
In case you don't fully recall the details
of our suggestions, we shall repeat a little
of what formerly has been stated. As we
pointed out there are numerous campus so
cieties which in some respects serve only the
purpose of cluttering up the university. If
these societies, which endeavor to fit into
the category of extracurricular activities
would sincerely attempt to accomplish a
worthy goal, rather than being merely time
wasters, they might have some justification
for existence.
Several of the outstanding organisations
on the campus have already inaugurated the
custom of offering scholarships from part of
their funds. A few societies such as the
Women's Athletic association, the Mortar
Board society, and, more recently the Inter
fraternity Council have established funds for
scholarship grants. Similar organizations
and departmental societies might justify
Their existence by following the example al
ready set.
Now here's what we'd like to see you do,
Student Council. We'd like to have you, not
only make an effort, but also accomplish the
task of having all campus organizations con
tribute to a general student scholarship fund.
Since the council is composed of representa
tives of the student body it would seem that
it is better fitted than any other organization
to assume this task.
At the University of Cincinnati the
various organisations of students pledge
themselves to contribute a certain amount to
a general scholarship fund. The amalgama
tion of small contributions add together to
comprise a considerable fund from which in
terest on the invested capital forms a basis
for a number of monetary awards. Were this
policy followed on this campus, a potential
100 organizations, contributing at an aver
age of $10, would add $1,000 in one year to
a much needed fund. In adding this capital
each year an accumulated amount that
would reap one scholarship a year would be
produced, with no overbearing strain on any
group involved.
As was suggested before, all campus
groups which feel they have a right to exist
at Nebraska, including Greek letter groups,
should be contacted and should contribute to
the scholarship fund. It probably wouldn't be
a difficult task to get the contributions, since
they would not be. large enough to be burden
some, yet a great deal would be accomplished
toward making it easier for some worthy
students to attend the university.
With the list of general university
scholarships totalling only about 15 at the
present time, it is apparent that there is a
need for some action concerning ihe ques
tion. That there is little hope of increasing
present scholarship offerings from the uni
versity fund is logical, when one views the
many other pressing needs which will be
given precedence when the limited funds are
apportioned. In comparison with other uni
versity scholarship offerings, Nebraska is
forced to make a very poor showing, largely
because of the lack of interest which has
been directed toward making scholastic
grants available.
Since the university is offering the maxi
mum grants which it can afford at the pres
ent time, additional scholarships will have to
come from an outside source. Thus, it will be
up to the students to make one of the first
moves. They clamor vehemently for endow
ments by alumni and civic friends of the uni
versity, while never offering to give aid for
their own interest. If the student body takes
action by promoting these contributions by
student bodies, added contributions by other
groups are imminent. But the first step is up
to the students.
Thus, we are suggesting that the Student
Council consider some plan for sounding out
organizations' feelings toward such a proposal.
If the idea seems logical and gains group sup
port, it would give the council a chance to
chalk up something on the credit side of this
year's ledger.

THE PSYCHOLOGIST
AND PASSIONATE LOVE
When the rain beats clown, we
like to ct sentimental. And when
a person gets sentimental, well,
there's no telling what will hap
pen. But as many times as not,
sentimcntalism is a parallel for
love. But what is this thing called
love ?
It's pretty much the modern
thing to do, at least on this cam
pus, to have an affair in the
realms of love. To rate the
"scandalous" haunter and haunt
ress columns of this daily, is a
personal progress for most stu
dents. If "mere mentions'" had
the value of a six weeks test
grade of 90, there is no question
but what the former would be the
more favored. Tho we can prob
ably differentiate between most
"love affairs'' and love, we won
der just what the four letter
word represents.
Affection for Opposite Sex.
You know, it's interesting to be
gin with the dictionary with most
any question. With dictionary defi
nitions, one can't be too far off be
cause the free application to the
word makes it entirely possible. "A
tender and passionate affection for
one of the opposite sex; to take de
light or pleasure in" are the words
that the well known Wtbster use
to define the intangible Fubjert.
Sometimes we get interested in
the psychologist. After all. we can
go to him after everyone else has
given his expressed opinions. But
even the psychologists can't agree
on love.
"College students don't have the
right to love." That is what one
Guillermo Hall, one professor of
social sciences at Boston univer
sity, says. "The bankbook is the
necessary accompaniment of a
wedding ring,'' he believes.
Mr. Hall, we are told, warns
hit students in his liberal man
ners against mixing "love and
learning." "College girls." be
says, "mature earlier and. to
them, male classmates appear
callow and immature. In this
there it the danger to the male
student. He tervet only at a
ttop-gap and a convenience un
til the woman finds the man she
wantt. Meantime, the ttudent is
good material for practice. If
he does not know this and al
lows himself to get seriously in
love with her, then there will
be trouble for him. He should
know that he It not yet ready
for such attachments and will
not be ready for some years."
Love Early and Often.
W HAT PEOPLE SAID
A STOHY OF SMALL
TOW N GOSSIP
The story of a typical midwest
town, the gossipy old ladies and
the tobacco chewing old pioneers,
is the new work of the sage of the
Kansas plains. William Allen
White has probably done as much
to put the midwest on the map
as any other personage save for
William Jennings Bryan, and is
known all over the country for his
beautiful style and impartial judg
ments. Immediately after he had
written Mary White, a news story
of his daughter's tragic death,
Christopher Moiiey, the great es
sayist and novelist, discovered
White and made known to Amer
ica the talent of the small town
reporter. Receiving hundreds of
offers to become reporter on one
of the larger dailies, White re
fused, preferring to remain at his
little home in Emporia, Kas., where
he worked on the Emporia Ga
zette. William Allen White has long
been just a farmer from Kansas,
and now he has pictured the life
of the small rural town as he, an
inhabitant of such a town, sees it.
His new book, "What People Paid,"
is the Main Street of the Middle
West, revealing the American in
dividual of the plains as he is, and
exposing all his little idiosyncra
cies. Thousands of Americans are
eagerly awaiting their opportunity
to go out and gossip with old
Will'm and discover what makes
them tick. And leaning back in
his comfortable chair in traditional
chair in traditional reporter style
with feet cocked up on any con
venient place, old Will'm will prob
ably tell them that they are about
the screwiest concoctions that he
has ever seen.

IN TODAY'S HEADLINES
ADOLF HITLKR returns to
Munich from his triumphal visit
to Austria. The smoke clears away,
and Austria, once the seat of a
powerful empire, world center of
beauty and cultuie, becomes only
another province of an expended
German reich.
KX-CHANCKLLOR SCHCSCH
NIGG remains in Austria under
heavy guard. Schuschnigg refuses
an offer to escape when he learns
that the strings attached are the
holding of his son as hostage to
insure his "discretion."
MASAYl'KI TANI. Japanese
minister-Ht-laige in Shanghai says
that the "open door" in China will
remain open after the present
conflict is .-cttled. The United
States and other friendly powers,
he says, will all have "equal op
portunity to aid in the reconstruc
tion of China.'
PRIME MINISTER CHAMBER
LAIN refrains from committing
himself as definitely willing to
step in to the aid of Chechoslo
vakia. In his addresses to the
house of commons he seems deter
mined to match the armed
strength ot Adolf Hitler before he
publicly pledged defense of
Czechoslovakia.
LEON BLUM, French premier,
tries for the support of all par
ties in his new government, an
impossible undertaking. Already
President Ibnin is said to be
sounding out parties on the right,
which are not in on the present

meanwhile, goes on at top speed.

The "contacting and learning to
meet people" It one of the moat
famoua "lines" of our dear frtt
brother, yet o few realize how
easily It can be acquired elsewhere.
Suppose we throw out all the other
argument and consider this one
alone, and ee how easily It can
be broken down. Dale Carnegie,

Mr. Carnegie had six point tn

can never acquire friend and had

The second point wa to mlle (a
gTt,it t!g tnUle) when you meet
people and instantaneously they
will react favorably toward you.
Certainly there Is no need of join
Inng a fraternity to smile. If you
have crooked teeth that detract
from your smile, a fraternity
brother can't help you go to the
dentist .
A man' name I the sweetest

tho you join a fraternity, you
can't always har one of the boys
