THAT ECONOMY STOPPER
The utter incongruity of Nebraska's so
called economy policies was demonstrated
again this week in Colonel Onry's announce
ment that ''lack of proper facilities caused the
University of Nebraska to be disregarded
for the national air training program." While
other universities thruout the country are re
ceiving millions of dollars from the federal
government for construction of untold num
bers of new buildings and extension of much
needed facilities, Nebraska sit idly by, paying
its full .share of the tax burden but receiving
in return not even one of the many new gov-
eminent subsidies which might in some small
way aid this university to keep abreast of the
times.
Altho already developed into the cate
gory of the nation's leading businesses, air
transportation and associated fields are still
in their infancy. Every year more and more
young men are becoming interested in the
exciting and remunerative futures which
this romantic work predicts. Several univer
sity students have enrolled in the army fly
ing schools in Texas in the past two years.
Dozens more who are attending classes in
the university now, are learning to fly atLin
coln's many commercial fields every time
Clear weather gives them an opportunity to
take a lesson.
This group which is enabled to take flying
lessons, however, represents only a small por
tion ol llie great ninny students who yearn
vainly for the opportunity. Congress passed
last week that, portion of Ihe president's de
fense program which provides for flight in
struction of some 20,000 university men a year
at an estimated cost of over nine millions of
dollars.
To participate in this defense develop
ment by teaching young people a vooation
they want to learn, one that will serve to the
mutual advantage of the student and the gov
ernment at little cost to the university, seems
like an ideal situation. In reality, so ideal is
this opportunity which the national govern
ment is offering to the young people of the
country, that to attempt in every way to
gain this training bordem upon .becoming al
most a duty to those young people.
We may have passed rightfully the oppor
tunity for procuring million dollar buildings
thru WPA funds thus avoiding huge state
debts. Kut we shall never be acting rightfully
by depriving the present and future students
of this universily of the privileges of learning
at low cost the fundamentals of one of the
world's greatest products. To educate is the
task of this university. Aeronautics has joined
the field cf education for good.

SHOWER OR TUB

Splash!
If the answers to this question
don't hold water, it isn't our fault.
After all, we were nearly washed
up getting them. Then too, it's
just like we said to those whom
we interviewed, "The question may
be all wet but don't let that dam
pen your enthusiasm."
A bath is defined by Webster
(and Webster ought to know) as:
"The act of subjecting the body
or part of the body for purposes
of cleanliness, comfort, or health,
to water, vapor, hot air, mud or
the like." However, it is the pur
pose of today's query, "Which do
you prefer, a tub bath or shower
bath," to find what method of
bathing is most desirable.
Our survey brought one . very
pertinent fact to light. The old
tub, for centuries the most inti
mate servant of mankind, is now on
its way to obsolescence.
ROGER HILL Unaffiliated.
"Personally, I prefer the shower
because if you fall asleep in the
tub you are very likely to drown.
And I'm very likely to fall asleep
anyplace!"
FLORENCE MOLL Affiliated.
"Give me the shower because
it is quicker, more fun, and you
don't have to wash the tub out
afterward."
TIM PARKER Unaffiliated.
"I like the shower because it
takes less time and it is almost
impossible to get a good rinse in
a tub. A shower always saves
valuable energy because you don't
have to get up or down,"
CLARK O'H AN LON Affiliated.
"I don't prefer either one."
NORMA UELSON Unaffiliated.
I like tub baths because you
seem to get cleaner. I've gone to
places where there are only show
ers and I've been glad to get back
to a tub. You don't really get that
N
Bud and Betty College are
changing. No longer are they the
gay whoop n' holler people that
they used to be. Collegians, in the
ofrm of the bear-skin coat and the
vigorously Svaved pennant, seem to
be a thing of the past. Authori
ties generally agice on this. They
point, and of course iwth prids,
that the student of today's college
is a serious, deep thinking duck.
They maintain that he has the orb
to the future and the elfin ear to
the soil. They are pleased. They
clap their hands in a sedate edu
cational outburst. But we want to
take issue, to raise voice over the
corpse of Collegiana.
The world is entirely too serious
as it is. Year after year, more and
more frownie thinkers are sent
Into the world from our colleges.
The earth is crammed with people
who are too busy to laugh, and too
intellectual to let down. Dignity
and the lack of a sense of humor
have become synonyms. People arc
funny, screamingly so. But they
of the intellectual curve seem to
foregt it. Humanity, to the Heri
ous thinker, is something to stare
moodily at thru a test tube. Men
talists probe and pry, attaching
long wierd-sounding names on
types of humanity. Psychoanalysis
has become a fetish. Laughter has
vanished. But people are still su
premely funny.
If the Hitlers, Mussolinis and
Stalins of today had a sense of hu
mor, the world wouldn't be in the
state is is. There is never any
thing so equalizing as a hearty

"Shower. You can't get the

and the water in a shower stays
a lot warmer. And then after
you are done and get out of the
