Yardsticks That Differ
Recent campus events have
made the N. U. student sit up
and take notice of his faculty;
and one of the things he has
observed is that the standard
of values he uses to judge his
teachers hears no resemblance
to the yardstick used by the
other side of the academic
fence.
"We grew confidential-like
and serious the other day and
sided up to one of our good
friends on the faculty with this
question: "Why is so-and-so a
veteran of the teaching staff
and yet only an instructor,
while so-and-so over there is of
the same mellow vintage and
yet surveys the world from
professorial eminence?" Two
words stood out in a vaguely
intolerant answer. One of them
was "publications," the other
was "scholarly research." And
more and more we discover that
professors are judged to be
successes or failures predomi
nately upon the publications
and research they produce m
their specialized fields.
This is all very bewildering
to the student. He has nhvavs
thought that the principle du
ties of a teacher are to teach
And with his naively inexor
able logic, he follows up this
functional definition with the
eorrolary that leachers should
be judged upon their ability or
inability to teach.
Of course he admit.s that
scholarly research, enhances a

laugh sessions held on Sunday aft
ernoon. The Union program also
included harmony hours at which
Btudents listened to recorded clas
sical music, book reviews, game
tournaments, exhibits, smokers
and reception.
This entire activity program
cost the union $3,617.19 more than
the income derived from dances
and ballroom rental. This expense
was met by Union fees paid by
students, and budgeted for activi
ties used by the board.
Other administrative depart
ment expenses met from Union
fees were salaries, office and oper
ating expenses, depreciation, and
equipment purchases or building
improvements. Student employees
working in the main office, check
stand, and for dances, functions,
etc. were paid $4,683.97. The of
fice expenses amounting to $2,500
included advertising, telephone,
stationery, printing, auditing and
insurance.

added to the reserve set up to re

A I.I. DAILY anUm4 edltorHU are
r opinion In no way reflect the attitude
professor's ability to nourish
intellectual growth and brings
prestige to his department and
his university. And that is im
portant in this ever-increasing
scheme of campus competition.
He admits, also, that research
which pushes forward the good
old frontiers of science and
knowledge is a necessary and
highly commendable activity of
the university scholar's spare
time.
He further agrees that the
professor very often manages
to combine scholarship with
pedagogical ability.
Hut he cannot get it thru his
deplorably thick skull that
their primary function is any'
thing other than intelligent and
inspired teaching. ITc evinces a
further stubborn perversity of
his inability to comprehend a
standard of judgment which
penalizes the brilliant peda
gogue for the time and effort
he has put into making himself
a better teacher, and rewards
the reclusive pedant.
This is the student's yard
stick. There are undoubtedly many
academicians who .scoff at this
ingenious viewpoint.
But somehow we think that
the people of the slate of Ne
braska would like their mil
lions to go first into the cre
ation of an intelligent and cap
able citizenry,- and afterwards
into the support of a welter of
treatises on technical research

tions. was spent for building improve
ments and for equipment such as
movie projector, screen, fire place
equipment, bulletin boards, clocks,

Clarke, who furnished the faculty

draperies, and furniture, donated
$1,053.25 to make the purchases.

from Union fees. Last year the
catering department ended its op
erations with a profit of $980.35.
Some of this profit has been spent
to repair part of the catering
equipment, and the remainder will
eventually be invested in necessary
items for service. It is the inten
tion of the board of managers
that the catering department will
sell its food at a cost just high
enough to pay all of its expenses
and show a small percentage of
profit which can be used as pre
viously stated.

NEWS COMMENT
Britain loses
battleship
Royal Oak
West wall quiet; French
suspect 'calm before the
storm expect attack
By Woerner and Steele.
The British battleship Royal
Oak, one of the original floating
fortresses, was sunk yesterday
800 of the crew of 1,200 are still
missing. Simultaneously, the Brit
ish admiralily reported the loss of
two other ships, including the
largest European oil tanker.
On the west wall, however, there
was almost complete silence Sat
urday night, a lull which the
French explained as the calm be
fore the storm. The French ex
pect a major German offensive to
be launched within the coming
week.
But, in Germany, Saturday
night, there was still a last hope
for peace, an almost desperate de
sire that some neutral intervene
with a peace proposal. German
newspapers assailed the British for
continuing an unnecessary war,
and plunging the world into a
"bath of blood."
Russia gets way again.
In the east Saturday night, Rus
sia again had her way, and the
Turks signed an agreement guar
anteeing protection of Russian
rights in the Black sea and co-operation
in the control of the Dar
danelles. The Finnish diplomatic
mission retired from Moscow Sat
urday night after preliminary dis
cussions over Russian demands,
which may possibly provide a basis
for Finnish military resistance.
Interesting to Americans was
the fact that Canadian newspapers
refused to print the speech of Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh, in which
the famous flyer questioned the
desirability of opening up Ameri
can munitions factories to foreign
purchasers, thus, as "Lindy" put
it, prolonging the war, and pro
longing the disastrous effects
which are attached to war. He
also pointed out that it would be
silly for us to lend money to the
allies, because of their failure to
pay back debts accruing from the
last war.
Canada realizes allies' need.
Canada is, of course, at war
with Germany, and Canada rea
lizes the great need of the allies
for American products. But de-
drinks pulls the average check
down to as low as 8 cents. Since
the building opened, approximate
ly 4,510 gallons of Coca Cola have
been served. Each gallon of coke
will make approximately 120
drinks. During the first 35 days
of operation, since the opening
this fall, approximately 33,000
cokes were served. The cafeteria
accounted for 31 percent of the
food business, and the faculty din
ing room 9 percent. Banquets and
parties accounted for the remain
der. Students in the catering division
ate approximately $8,000 worth of
food evaluated at its cost to the
Union. These meals were eaten in
lieu of cash wages, however, ad
ditional cash wages amounting to
$10,000 were paid to students.
About 100 students were employed
regularly in the Corn Crib, fac
ulty dining room, for banquets
and parties, and in the cafeteria.
For cleaning waiter's jackets,
table cloths, and other laundry,
the Union paid $2,303.86. The ice
in Coca Cola and other iced drinks
cost the Union $1,228.90. Cooking
gas cost over $1,100 and cooking
steam over $1,200.

spite this, despite the fact that
Lindbergh's speech was somewhat
unfavorable to Canada, from a
purely American viewpoint, it
seems wholly incompatible either
with Canadian or American ideals
to refuse to print the speech of
one so well liked and well loved
as "We."
Yet, at the same time, Amer
icans must realize that what we
see in Canada which is so irre
concilable with our own ideals,
nevertheless is the very same as
that which did occur in the last
war, and will undoubtedly occur in
any future war.
And paradoxically, Canada,
howling about fighting for democ
racy, is the best example in the
world today of how no nation at
war is democratic, or at least does
not conform to the American defi
nition of democracy.
"Lindy" was sound last night in
his speech, and three years ago
almost everyone, including the
more erudite members of con
gress, would become quite in
censed when mention was made
of the allies refusal to pay their
war debts. "They called us Uncle
Shylock," and refused to turn
over any of their Caribbean is
lands in partial payment, though
through the war they gained a
large amount of territory.
