Ivecenlly the clinirniiiii of llic pulilicat ions
hoard. Harold Hainil, received an anonymous
comment deploring the "journalistic taste"
displayed in Sunday's Hell And Hiyh Water
column.
Oeeassionally, judgment used in passing
an article or etmsingning to the wiistcl;iskot
is faulty. InevilaMy, an ani.iteur organization
makes mistakes; admissibly the Nebraska!) has
erred often.
However, the Nebraskan staff has stated,
often, that the contents of its paper are cen
sored by no one. Tts eolumnitss write their own
ideas; its slaff sets its own editing standards.
If eilher group has offended public taste, it is
sorry.
When a paper has made a mistake it expects
to hear from its readers. Comment should be di
rected to the editor, and signed by the writer.
No unsigned letters will be considered con
structie criticism.
The chairman of the publications board has
no power of suppression no desire to censor
the Nebraska n. lis slaff alone is answerable to
criticisms. Those made in good faith wil be so
accepted.

The two accrediting associations
that mean most to the institu
tional life of the university are the
Association of American Universi
ties and the North Central Asso
ciation of Colleges and Secondary
Schools. It was a remarkable
achievement for the University of
Nebraska to have been given
membership in the select company
of the Association of American
Universities as early as 1909.
In comparison with the leading
universities of the country Ne
braska could then justly hold her
head high with pride. Today Ne
braska's position in this associa
tion is not high enough to war
rant complacency or contentment.
In the North Central Association
Nebraska's position is also none
too high because it has been
pointed out by officers of the
association that our educational
expenditure per student in recent
years has been below the level
that periodic surveys have shown
to be necessary for the attainment

of median performance among in
stitutions of our type and size.
In the numerous associations of
professional schools and colleges
of which the university is an in
stitutional member by virtue of
having in each instance such a
professional college or school, our
standing runs from high, through
median, to low or very low.
When a new fire escape was
planned for East hall on the
Northern Montana college cam
pus, at Havre, WPB would re
lease no iron or steel for its coon-
struction. So now East hall boasts
a fire escape made of wood! At
any rate, NMC students contend
they can reach the ground before
the escape burns down.
Like Columbus, 20 year old
Evaline Blanco, part time student
at Cleveland college, crossed the
Atlantic in a small vessel. Her
trip, however, was the opposite of
Columbus' she sailed from Amer
ica to Spain. It was in June, 1929,
when Miss Blanco was 6, that she
and her father boarded their 37
foot sailboat at Boston and
weighed anchor, bound for Barce
lona, Spain, her father's birth
place. Ports of call in her leisure
ly travels sound like a travel
folder with" such names as Span
ish Morocco, the Azores, Canary
Islands, Trinidad, Caracas, Carta
gena, Panama, Tahiti, New Cale
donia. Pearl Harbor ended her
long stay in the South Pacific and
brought her to Cleveland by way
of San Francisco.
