C-C
We say again that the new
traditions which will be founded
by the Union have to have direc
tion. The students on this cam
pus won't tike things into their
own hands. You and your asso
ciates, Mr. Van Sant, will have
to assist them.
Prof Improvement
Plans for
In n recent poll. Princeton seniors indi
cated two major faults with their eollepe edu
cation: The students themselves did not know
how to study find the lectures and lecturers
Mere often poor. At the University of Minne
sota, the first difficulty has been met by a
course in study habits, but there has been no
attempt to provide some system whereby the
lectures and the lecturers may be improved
through student criticism. At Nebraska, both
difficulties apparently remain, as pointed out
by a student in the Student Pulse column
today.
' We must make exceptions in panning
the lectures and lecturers on the campus,
for we admit that Nebraska does possess a
number of faculty members of exceptional
caliber, but there still remain those classes
of professors who are not outstanding in
their fields, who know their subjects well
and impart them; those who work for their
own laurels rather than the good of the
students; and finally and here is the larg
est proportion the many who are medioc
rities, men whose only claim to being able
teachers lies in thoir master's or Ph. D.'s.
If the university is sincere in wishinpr to
establish an academic reputation, the first
place to start is in its faculty. Only with an
exceptional teachinir staff can Nebraska ex
pect exceptional students. It has neither at the
present time.
Just what would be the best procedure
to follow in remedying this situation is hard
to say, especially when one views the lack of
funds to support pood professors. However,
after surveying suggestions made and carried
out in other schools we con suggest a few
innovations which might help to lessen the
inadequacy of the present lectures. There can
be no little doubt that n system of student
criticism would be of jjreat value. Anyone who
has noticed large numbers of students falling
asleep day after day in some classes must
realize something is very wrong with either
the lecture or the lecturer. True, some students
sleep because of sheer lack of rest and the
absence of any desire to take an nctive inter
est in the course, but it is also true that an
other reason is that the course is not presented
in an interesting manner.
Some eastern schools have faced this
problem and have tried various means of
combatting it. At Harvard each department
selects a number of graduating majors each
year to give their criticisms of courses and
lectures. This system is reported satisfac
tory. And at Princeton, the recent results of
the poll have prompted the Daily Princeto
nian to advocate a joint faculty and student
committee "which would be able to see the
problem from all angles and thus come to
a fair exchange of ideas." Some universi
ties, such as Northwestern, have actually
gone so far as to let representatives of the
student council sit in on faculty committee
meetings, in order that students may present
problems representative of their group and
bring about a better and more co-operative
relationship between students and faculty
members.
It is impossible, as yet. to decide the cor
rect solution to this problem. Hut it seems
quite evident that some solution should be
fought. It must be remembered that no matter
how intelligent and capable a university ad
ministration may be, it cannot see the stu
dent's problem as the student sees it. For that
eason, the university should give the students
sin opportunity to present constructive criti
!ism, based upon their experience, that would
increase the value of their education.

of priests and closed many of the
churches because of the over abun
dance of them, which Is Illustrated
by one town which has a church
for every day In the year. The
churches are very old and are
elaborately decorated because of
the devout giving of the people.
Most of the people are engaged
In agriculture In Mexico. Some of
the natives raise cattle or herd
goats and others have small pieces
of land to till with their crude Im
plements. Mexico is very rich in
minerals and produces more silver
than any other country In the
world.
The Mexican dollar is called a
peso and there are a little less
than four pesos to the American
dollar at the present time, which
means that a person can buy al
most four times as much with his
money in Mexico. Certain prod
ucts such as gasoline for example
are an exception to this rule. The
centavo is the Mexican cent. Ham
mond said that the railroads are
an example of the low costs and
that he rode 80 miles for only 70
cents.
Heart Rending.
The existence of the Aztec In
dians is recalled by the two an
cient pyramids some 30 miles from
Mexico City. These two large pyr
amids are called the pyramids of
the sun and the moon. Some of the
smaller pyramids were used by the
Aztec Indians for human sacrifices
to their god, the sun. They would

cut the victim's heart out and hold
It up to the sun aa their sacrifice.
Today, on religious occasions many
of the people climb up a steep hill
on their hands and knees to the
shrine of Guadalupe as proof of
their devotion.
Hammond took exception to the
prevalent dislike for the Mexican
national sport, bull fighting. He
says the fighters see how close
they can come to the bull without
being hooked, and display admir
able grace In avoiding the horns.
The matadors with good reputa
tion! for their bravery and skill
make very good money.
When the bull fight starts, the
picador comes out into the arena
with a long pole with a short spear
to heckle the bull. He is riding a
blindfolded horse which is padded
in front and on both sides to try
to avoid useless slaughter. The
picador angers and tires the bull.
The banderllleros appear next with
colorfully decorated darts which
are about a yard long. These darts
are hooked in the bull's shoulder
to make him more enraged.
Finally, the itar of the show ap
pears, the matador, with his red
cape and narrow sword. He tanta
lizes the bull until it is very tired
and then when it comes past htm
with its head lowered ha thrusts
the sword through its shoulder into
its heart. If this falls to kill the
bull he finishes the job with a
short dagger which is plunged be
hind the horns into the cram.
Hammond also aaid that there
is a threat of another revolution
in Mexico aa a rebel general, Ce
dllo, has 20,00 men and wants to
overthrow the government.

summer will be in the nature of
a homecoming.
The work of the Union is just
beginning. Its purposes and re
sponsibilities for every student
Who has paid In his three sheck
lea is Just beginning to be seen.
We thought it appropriate, then,
Mr. Van Sant, that we register
with you a few suggestions that
will, no doubt, be carried out
next year. We are in no way
critical of the progress which
the Union has already made.
But words criticizing the be
ginning efficiency of the Union
have been spoken behind the
backs of yourself and those
with whom you work.
C-C
It is to be taken for grunted
that the functions of the Union
arc new and have been organized
only several weeks. Specifically,
however, Mr. Van Sant, students
have hastened to criticize the serv
ice which they obtain in both the
caking rendezveous and the ban
quet rooms. These individuals have
argued that a Union of students
should be able to carry on a busi
ness Just as efficiently as a profit
making private enterprise.
Comment has also been leveled
at the amount of food given at the
Union in proportion with that
which is plated in the more popu
1 a r down-town establishments
which cater to banquets. Atmos
phere and accessibility should be
considered but the students will
demand Just as much, if not more,
than they would in a private es
tablishment. C-C
Many professors, if not a ma
jority, eat their noon lunches
near the campus. Many of them
who have been told of a special
noon luncheon at the Union tor
a certain price have been cha
grined when they finally had
their plate set before them.
Professors, you know, are of the
hurry-up type. They also are
wise enough to have a certain
sense of values. Most of them,
however, are not critical and
realize that routine must be es
tablished. C-C
But most important of all is the
tradition which will be brought
about by the Union. It is not your
duty, Mr. Van Sant, to see that
new ideas cretaed by Union are
formed into well rounded tradi
tions. The students, themselves,
will do this, but they must be
guided. To be specific, something
miiNt be done to see that students
start "cutting" at the matinee
dances. The purposes of these
dances, we are told, is to promote
new friendships. What student on
this campus would think of "cut
ting some girl that he never
knew.
C-C
This campus, imbued with a
midwestern spirit, is lacking in
tradition and isn't any too fa
vorable to friendliness. Students
those young men and women
who have extraordinary oppor
tunities of attending an institu
tion of higher learning never
speak to one of then fellows
that they do not know. Suoh an
Idea never enters their head.
To speak to their own fraternity
or sorority members is some
times a hardship.
C C
The Union is designed to alter
this situation. It Is designed to cre
ate a common bond of friendship
and co-operation such as that
which is well established on most
eastern campl and all of those in
the south. And It's the same way
with the spirit on this campus.
The majority of students are ready
to let things go as they will; they
are prone to stand by and watch.
For that reason, then, we were
somewhat enlightened to see some
long lost spirit ooze from the veins
of members of two political fac
tions and end In the first real
student display since 1930. Our

what CBS publicity reports say
Mark Warnow's fifty-five piece
"Hit Parade" band, which broad
casts America's favorites over
CBS every Saturday evening.
Before any of the musicians in
this band the largest dance or
chestra ever to be heard on a net
work series piny a note, more
than a million little flag-decked
black notes have to be written.
Eleven arrangers and eight
copyists work on twenty-four hour
shifts to orchestrate the ten hit
tunes of the nation, chosen each
week by secret poll. These arrang
ers and copyists use 1,200 sheets
of musical manuscript paper, and
300 of manuscript paper to say
nothing of the innumerable pens
and bottles of ink that figure In
this behind-the-scenes activity.
Forty-five minutes on the air
means hundreds of hours of prep
aration and twelve hour days for
musicians in rehearsal each Mon
day thru Thursday. The total staff,
numbering eighty persons rests on
Sundays and reports to start the
task all over again on Monday.
Warnow, genial black haired
magician who welds his seemingly
unamanageable mixture of music,
humans, and harrowing details
into a perfect whole, refuses to
discuss the amount of rosin used
by the thirty-six men who com
prise the string section of the
band.
"I've troubles enough without
worrying about that," he sighs.
Sixty-three of the Carol Lom
bard fans who mobbed the stage
entrance of the CBS Music Box
theater after the blonde movie
star's appearance in the Radio
Theater's varsion of "My Man
Godfrey," were rewarded With
singularly appropriate souvenirs.
Each got a page of Miss Lom
bard's script as there were ex
actly sixty-three pages to the
script, only that number of fans
received pages.

The tax exemption Issue conies
to light again, with Senator Brown
proposing a Joint congressional in
vestigation of existing tax exemp
tions. Securities and salaries of
federal, state and municipal gov
ernments will come in for their
share In revenue raising If the
administration's proposal goes
through.
Whether enactment of a statute
will be sufficient is doubtful. Con
stitutional restrictions against fed
eral taxing of state Institutions
and state taxing of federal insti
tutions, however, will make It ex
ceedingly difficult to get any re
ciprocal tax by the nine guardians

BOOMERANG
The part played by German fas
cists In Brazil's recent revolt
rouses alarm in the United States
to the extent that Roosevelt asks
investigation of European propa
ganda In South America. Fascism
approaching eo uncomfortably
close to the United States awakens
all the old clamor for enforcement
of the Monroe doctrine, with
America for Americana and Euro
peans on their own side of the
water.
German propaganda, strangely
enough, represents a highly mu--cessful
specialization and emula
tion of methods borrowed from the
United States. Germany took Un
cle Sam as her tutor back In the
days before the World war, and
he now looks in wonder at the pro
portions to which his brain child
has developed, and the speed with
which it has returned home.
