THAT SINGLE BOARD PLAN
Perhaps, after all, the people of (he state
of Nebraska may some day reinemher the
drouth of the IMO's with a pleasant thought
as. the stimulus which brought 1 hem a new
prosperity.' It won't be the kind of inflated
prosperity they enjoyed in 1028, but rather a
sound, sensible one based upon a properly edu
cated populace. Necessary economy h.'is com
pelled the legislators of this state to take more
active interest in the educational system than
had been manifested since its entrance into the
Union.
No longer is the cry "more education for
the people" the only voice heard. It has been
changed to "better education according to
ability." -nd this can be achieved only thru
establishment of an intelligent, organized system.
Just such a system is the goal Senator
Miller hopes to attain thru consolidation of
the university board of regents with the nor
mal school -board. This action, he believes,
would centralize control enabling elimination
of over-lapping and duplication, so wastefully
present in the current set-up; and would tend
to eliminate rivalry between the schools.
Theoretically, Dr. Miller's plan is an ideal
solution to the problem. The elective process
which he advocates for selection of the board
personnel, however, makes his bill as proposed
an unsound one.
Independence of action is the only manner
in which such a board can operate to advan
tage for the state. Its members must not be
responsible to any particular section or school
for revisions or monetary appropriations.. Un
der an elective process of personnel selection,
there will be no independence. Logrolling will
become the means, and reelection the axe.
It is not conceivable that a board member
elected from a legislative district containing
one of the schools would be returned if he
refused to act in the best interests of the
particular institution, despite the fact that
such action might be to the unquestionable ad
vantage of. the educational system as a whole.
The outcome would mean inferior board mem
bers, and complete failure of the whole plan
thru the board's inability to make revision
thru elimination.
The Daily Nebraskan commends Senator
Miller for at least arousing interest in a sound
plan and for his evidently sincere regard for
development of higher education. It hopes,
however, that the senator will continue his
work until he conceives a system in which poli
tics can really be eliminated.
WITH REGRETS
"I'll always be a Nebraska rooter."
With what more fitting words could a
man who has endeared himself to the heart
of Nebraska university students and alumni
for the last ten years, leave the institution
which for such a long time has played an inti
mate part in his life. What means most to
Nebraskans, however, is their assurance that
liny Kamsay means exactly the words he has
said.
To those familiar with the campus' lack
of traditions and popular "characters," Mr.
llamsay's leaving brings sincere regrets. But
even those Nebraskans who have never known
him intimately, as long as there is a Kosmet
Klub revue and University Players produc
tions, they will never forget him.

individuals prying into the affairs of others, which neither specifi
cally nor directly concern the inquisitive busy-bodies, may be asking
for trouble. This may apply to nations as well as to ordinary indi
viduals. It is not the motives but the methods of present American
foreign policy which are subject to attack.
Japan has added her strident voice to the clamor. Japanese and
Soviet troops have clashed in the Orient making still more serious
the threat to peace. Reliable sources report that a formal declara
tion of war by Japan against China is now pending. Such declara
tion would enable Japan to deny the extra-territorial rights of the
democracies in the war zone. Formal war would allow Japan to
strengthen her blockade and so further reduce Chiang Kai-Sheks
sources of necessary war supplies.
Troubles are multiplying on the Spanish front English ship
ping is still ravaged by "unknown marauders" in the Atlantic and
Mediterranean. Loyalist forces are giving more and more ground
backing up to the very wall of the French border. Franco's indus
trious planes have even dropped a few scattered bombs on the French
border towns which offer refuge to the Loyalist fleeing from Barce
lona.. Ex-President Hoover, in a recent Chicago speech, declared that
American participation in a war to preserve liberty would in and of
itself, destroy liberty. This is always true, for military expediency
demands that individual liberties be suppressed, at least temporarily.
War time necessity always causes contravention of the principles of
democratic government.
While this column will not make a practice of "plugging" litera
ture, we suggest that serious students of current international af
fairs expose themselves to Alexander Woollcott's short pamphlet

Do you approve of Rovern- I

r. Chris Peterson
That college students stand ready to do their part in the
national defense-preparedness program if it offers an oppor
tunity for excitement and novelty, is indicated in a recent re
port of the Student Surveys of America.
More specifically, 70 percent of American college students
endorsed and agreed to support President Roosevelt's proposed
plan to train 20,000 civilian pilots a year m me most uesirame
training bases the government
could conceive American col
lege.- campuses. Students every
where have been asked, "Do you
approve of Roosevelt's plan to
train an air reserve corps of 20,000
men, now in college?" Seventy
two percent of those questioned
indicated that they approved and
lauded the plan, while 28 percent
were not in favor of the proposed
training schedule.
If the tentative plan proves sat
isfactory, Nebraska university stu
dents, in all probability, will have
an opportunity to participate in
the training at the government's
expense, according to Secretary
D. E. Packard of the state aero
nautical commission. Tresent plans
indicate that students would be
given a ground course by the uni
versity and complete their air
training with 50 hours of dual
and solo flying with instructors
subsidized by the government.
Just how such a plan and pro
gram would meet with the ap
proval of the male students of the
university is indicated by the fol
lowing opinions.
DICK N ISP EL SOPHOMORE,
ENGINEERING
"Oh, it might be okay. I
wouldn't care about it because I
have no interest in aviation. But
Lord knows that it couldn't be any
worse than the R. O. T. C."
PEARLE FRANCIS FINIGAN
SOPHOMORE, TEACHERSR
"I don't favor it. "I do not be
lieve that the university is the
place to gie such an extensive
training. If they are going to do
this why not just establish regular
flying schools and operate them
at government expense. To me.
that is the proper way to handle
a thing of this kind."
BOB STIENMEYER
FRESHMAN, ENGINEERING.
Hit is the only thing. We need
a bigger and better air force and
college trained men are the best
equipped for the technical work
which makes up aviation. I my
self would greatly prefer this type
of work over the present R.O.T.C.
I probably couldn't pass the phys
ical qualifications but I sure would
like to take a try at it."
JOE EVINGER JUNIOR,
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.
I'm in favor of it where schools
have compulsory R. O. T. C. Then,
too, it would be just like another
course for those who are inter
ested in aviation. From the mer
cenary point of view, it would not
cost the student a cent and he
would be getting a high priced
training at the same time. There
would probably be more than
enough who wanted to take this
course but the physical require
ments would narrow this number
down considerably."
HOLDS LIMPRECHT
FRESHMAN, JOURNALISM.
"As long as we must have pilots
we might as well get them from
the universities as any place else.
It's a good idea locally because
most of the training could be con
ducted through the Lincoln Flying
school. I'm not interested in avia
tion but it would be good training
for anyone. The best plan would
be to have it in place of R. O. T. C
for those who wish to take it."
JOHN NISLEY FRESHMAN,
ENGINEERING.
."Swell idea. I wish that we
would get it here at Nebraska be
cause I'm planning to go to Boeing
flying school after my graduation
and this would give me a little ad
vance training. As far as the
government ia concerned it is the
fastest and most economical way
for them to raised trained officers
for the reserve flying corps. En
thusiasm among the students over
aviation would make it popular."
FRED SCHNEIDER JUNIOR,"
TEACHERS COLLEGE
"I'm all for it. The present R.
O. T. C. trains good reserve offi
cers and I feel that this air train
ing plan would do the same. I
would be sure to take it if I was
physically fit. And I believe that
the government will gain by a long
run from it. I believe in the old
adage that an ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure." This
plan follows that to a tee; we are
ready for what may come."
