A MAIDEN WITHOUT A CHAMPION
If the sad fate of the ancient maiden who
had no champion can be considered a criterion,
then Ave can pretty safely predict the doom of
the one board plan for state institutions of
higher learning. It is quite evident that 'when
neither the normal schools nor the university,
traditional rivals for legislative smiles are
willing to "wrangle over a bill, then .is it stands
it must not be of great value.
This does not mean, however, that the
essential purposes of the proposal are not
sound. On the contrary, such a plan could,
if properly instigated and operated, so or
ganize the state's educational facilities as
to be the very solution for which the plan
ning board is searching. Prejudices, jeal
ousies and business interests, however, will
undoubtedly forbid the delivering of such
powers into the hands of a few men.
Chancellor Boucher and Regent Devoc of
the university have shown their appreciation
of the immense possibilities hidden in this
plan. Tliey recommend submitting it to the
planning board or a legislative council for
more thoro examination, and there is the log
ical place for it to take a temporary rest.
An intelligent investigation of the pres
ent educational system and a complete rec
ommendation for improvements to build a
more desirable program of instruction for
the young men and women of the state are
the two combined goals of the planning
board. For this purpose the state has se
lected men who are specialists in the work
they are doing, or will be specialists when
the time for advocating revisions appears.
Here, then, in the hands of the specialists is
where the bill should be considered for intel
ligent dovetailing with other changes and
improvements. It would serve only to ham
per the good work of this group if their rec
ommendations would become tied to a load
stone dropped behind their backs by a non
specialized legislature.
The state of Nebraska at present is headed
toward one of the soundest, most sensible and
most helpful educational systems in the coun
try, if its officials continue the determined
unpartisan and unpolitical moves which have
begun in the last two years. A one board plan
similar to the one considered by the.legislature
now, the proposal to vest in the board of re
gents the power to set standards of entrance
and retention, this planning board itself are
all great advancing steps toward this system.
Sectionalism and selfishness must not be al
lowed to interfere in the complete success of
this movement.

Inter-campus bus poll continues
With returns on the inter-campus
bus poll better than expecta
tions for the first two days of the
week, the hopes of the committee
for strong student support for the
proposed bus service seemed as
sured. Ag college filling ballot.
Those who have not yet filled
out questionnaires are requested to
clip the one appearing below and
to leave it in the box in the stu
dent union lobby. Similar ques
tionnaires are being filled out by
all students on the ag campus this
week by faculty co-operation with
the council in the project.
Iris Johnson and Arthur Hill, I
student council co-chairmen of the
ag intercampus bus committee, re
quest students to use care in fig
uring up accounts. Figures on the
questionnaire must be accurate to
give the committee substantial ma
terial with which to form their
plans. Special attention should be
given to costs of subsidiary means
of transportation such as taxi and
automobile which would be supple
mented by the new bus line.
Would unify campuses.
The success of this project will
unify the two sections of the
school, eliminating duplication of
classes and permitting all the re
sources of the various colleges to
go for the expansion of the pres
ent programs into more special
ized fields.
That the reduction of transpcr
tation costs will be an incentive
for more students to take courses
on alternate campuses, the com
mittee, backed by the reports of
other institutions using the unt
versity owned bus service, feels
certain. With classes adjourning
at a quarter of the hour on the
ag campus, students will be able
to register for successive classes
on the city campus without leav
ing the former early or coming to
the latter late.

Ray Brown shows suavity.
Tall Ray Brown has had some
difficult parts, but the role of
Commissar Gorotchenko seemed
made for him. He attained just
the right degree of suavity mask
ing the iron hand to portray the
detestable communist emmisary.
Developments showed him to pos
sess an admirable patriotism, how
ever, and he almost became a hero.
Barbara Blrk seemed more nat
ural, relaxed and relaxing last
night than previously. Possibly
it was her role as a young rich
girt half in love with an impov
erished Russian, nobleman, which
showed her off so well. Possibly,
too, it was her understandable
enunciation.
Grace Hill,proved that she can
be the grande dame too, in a brief
appearance as Dutch Madame van
Hemert
Colorful sets add to performance.
The play as a whole moved
along well tho it seemed to start
slowly. The colorful and attrac
tive settings, all four of them,
contributed a great deal to the
performance. A favoite with those
back stage if not with those out
font was the beautiful, shiny
kitchen set. Red and white check
erboard design, gleaming fixtures
and a shiny enamel ice box were
its outstanding features.
To briefly comment on the en
tire past season, variety with
more entertainment than dullnesfl
fins characterized the six plflys
presented. As does almost ' any
amateur group, the Players occa
sioned a few yawns. But the Play-
ers, or rather some very few ot
them, rose to stirring heights that
thrilled and chilled, and more than
compensated for slow moments.
Students fail to give support
Sadly striking has been the lack
of enthusiastic student support for
a worthwhile pctivity. Those stu
dents who look on the purchase of
a Players ticket as a charity
would have been agreeably sur
prised in getting more than their
entertainment dollar's worth. It's
not our job to chide, however, so
vn with the shows!

The most demanding of all se

Fire-Bird," by the contemporary
Russian genius, Igor Stravinsky.
This is the closing number, played
by the orchestra, and is famous
for its fantasy, color and fascinat
ing rhythms.
Selections from Friml's famed
