Tilley speaks
to engineers
Delivers climax talk
of annual round-up
At the annual engineers round
up which ended last night, State
Engineer Tilley, chairman of the
state planning board told en
gineers that they have a definite
place in government planning in
the future if they co-operate to
undertake 'Important studies."
In outlining the duties of the
state planning board the state en
gineer said that the board should
not attempt to be a powerful in
strument in state government with
power to effectuate its plans, but
that it should remain "advisory in
character."
W. W. DeBernard, editor of the
Engineers News-Record, opined
that he favored "professionalism"
rather than "unionism" in the en
gineering profession. The former,
he went on to say, called for an
increasing demand for engineers
to keep employment and wage
levels up and the other implies
limiting the supply of engineers.
"If," he said, "all the jobs that
should be filled by engineers and
Bub-engineers were filled by them,
we would not have the graduates
of the 160 schools out hunting for
Jobs in filling stations and as night
watchmen,"

resposisifbl for Boss
In the midst of all the anxiety suffered by campus officials re
garding sources of funds with which to maintain adequate educational
facilities, information is revealed in a book by A. E. Sheldon, superin
tendent and secretary of the State Historical Association, to the effect
that political practices ami poorly devised investments of the fctate
endowment funds have been re
sponsible for the loss of $300,000
of these funds. '
No administering authority.
Since the constitutional amend
ment of 1936 abolishing the com
missioner of public lands and
buildings went into effect, no re
ponsible authority has existed to
administer the $14,000,000 Federal
endowment to the educational in
stitutions of the state, material
gathered by NEBRASKAN repre
sentatives disclosed.
Baiting the territorial assembly
to join the Union in 1867, the Fed
eral government set aside a 2,700,
000 acre tract of land, the receipts
of which were to go to the public
schools, the university, and the five
normal schools in the state. Pro
vision was made for the disposal
of this land by lease or by sale
