THE EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK
This is a new feature added to The Daily Nebraskan's editorial
page to allow the editor to comment briefly, both in commendation
and condemnation, on campus and university matters that might
be otherwise passed over.
Artuallr. The Editor's Notebook will be a column of praise
and censure, representing the editor's opinion. We will try to cor
relate that opinion with what we believe to be the attitude of a
majority of students on campus. .If you don't asree, tell us about itj
To start off on a delicate topic, when will the university build
ing authorities do something about the, ventilation of the wash
rooms in Sosh and Law building? True, this a trivial topic and
not too pleasant an issue, but modern engineering and chemistry
being as advanced as they are, surely there is some method that
can be used to stop the fearful stench, and stench it is, that exists
at the present time.
Coeds, when queried on conditions In the women's washrooms,
have verified the fact that they are equally as bad as those In the
men's washrooms.. U Hall is Invariably mentioned as another of
fender in this longstanding: grievance, but U Hall presents a tempo
rary problem, while presumably Sosh and Law are fairly permanent
structures.
How about a little aid, oh powers that be? Even a bottle of
airwick might help.

An item In today's Daily Nebraskan calls for contributions from
university students for Lincoln's own Friendship Train. Chancellor
Gustavson, chairman of the drive, had felt that any contributions
from- students should be spontaneous since he voiced the belief
that students were called upon to contribute more than their share
in other fund-raising campaigns.
The spontaneousness present and the drive is on!
With a sizable amount already collected from the university
faculty, any monies collected before Feb. 12 will be turned over
to Registrar G. W. Rosenlof and turned in as a general university
contribution. The Daily Nebraskan will handle collections and
will print the names of persons or organized groups donating.
There's no compulsion about this drive, other than that human
itarian spirit for which Americans are so justly famous. The drive
has been laid in the individual laps of students with the idea, "Here
it is, see what you can do with it,"
Now it's up to us. . .
The pitiful condition of the Student Council's finances was de
monstrated yesterday when the university's student tovernint body
was reduced to haggling over pennies in connection with the NSA.
As the year advances, the smallest clerical job becomes more and
more of a problem as the council's budget dwindles.
Here is a problem for the best financial minds In the univer
sity. How can a governing body do anything actually constructive
when it is hampered by a budget that amounts to peanuts? There's
got to be a lossening of purse strings by someone or the council
will die of hardening of the finances.

Good news for student-veterans
came out of the hodge-podge of
pending veterans legislation as
the House of Representatives
sent, on a 370-6 vote, a bill to
President Truman that would:
1. Raise the allowance for
unmarried veterans in college
from $65 a month to $75.
2. Pay a married student with
one dependent $105 a month, and
those with two or more depen
dents $120. The payment for all
married students is now $90.
The bill had passed the senate
last summer, at which time the
house veterans affairs committee
approved but were held back in
the adjournment rush.
President Truman has been
accused of "stabbing" his
southern friends in the back by
Representative Williams (d.,
Miss.) as many southern demo
crats became fighting mad over
the president's ten point civil
liberties program calling for laws
against lynching and racial dis
crimination. The program, which was credi
ted in part to a desire to head
off Henry Wallace's appeal to
minority groups, which cast the
biggest vote where the presiden
tial race maybe the closest in
New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Illinois, and similar
population centers, will have,
serious repercussions as a re
sult of the southern protest and
threats to walk out of the demo
cratic party.
The result may well be that
House Minority Leader Rayburn
of Texas will be chosen as Tru
man's running mate in the '48
election, for he could be chosen
without serious offense to either
racial or labor groups in the
north and at the same time would
give southern democrats a con
siderable voice in the govern
ment. President Roosevelt was forced
into a similar position when after
having alienated the southerners,
he threw over Henry Wallace as
a vice-presidential candidate in
favor of Truman, a Missourian.
Regardless of the fate of the
civil rights program, 189 white
robed and masked Ku Klux
Klansmen are on the march in
Swainsboro, Ga., to maintain
"segregation of the races."
As bouse and nenate budget
makers in Washington agreed on
a Zyt billion cut in President
Truman's budget, debate con
tinued on the Marshall Plan for
aid to Europe, and the committee
took into consideration new aid
for China, and presumably
Greece and Turkey.Tbe new
figure would leave a potential
surplus of 10 billion for tax and
debt reduction.

Crossfire
By Norm Leger
By Norman Leger.
This narticular column, di
rected to Dean Green and the
athletic board, might be entitled
"flattery will get you no where"
or "How dumb do you think the
reading public is?"
During Christmas vacation,
when the press was having a
hv-dav whoooing up Masterson
and the coaching situation," the
athletic board came out witn me
news of Lewandowski's change
of position and the power to be
invested in the new athletic di
rector. Then, with no apparent
justification for the statement,
they beignly gushed, "The press
and radio have been of invalu
able help by disregarding the
many rumors which generate in
situations such as this." This
at a time when the words "im
partial and unbiased" would have
been the last to describe the
spread given, we quote again,
the "coaching situation" at the
university by at least two of the
state's big newspapers.
If the athletic board was at
tempting to glad-hand the press
into decent journalism it didn't
pay off. Check this story that ran
on the front page of the Nebraska
State Journal Saturday:
St. Louis university Thurs
day announced that it had
hired Joseph Maniac! to be
bead football coach.
"Thus, the St. Louis instution
closed the door on Bernie
Masterson, present Nebraska
football coach who had confer
red with authorities of the Mis
souri instution about the coach
ing vacancy.
" Observers of sports affairs
here had expressed the belief
that if Masterson had acquired
the St. Louis position, It would
have permitted the University
of Nebraska athletic board to
proceed quickly on its announ
ced intention of hiring a na
tionally prominent man as 'di
rector of athletics."
Some stuff, that! Take the
phrase "closed the door." Would
the Journal care to state its proof
that Bernie didn't say "goodbye"
BEFORE the door was closed? He
had "conferred" the Journal's
own word. There v as no state
ment that Bernie had offered his
services and was waiting for the
decision. No statement; but the
Journal implied it beautifully.
"Observers of sports affairs
. . ." Now who might these be?
Sports writers? Coaches? Train
ers? Tassels? Peanut venders?
Anyway, these unamed individ
uals arc under the impression
as the Journal so subtly (ha!)
insinuates that the athletic
board can not hire an athletic di
rector while Bernie is still under
contract. Who says it can't? And
who can say that the board isn't
proceeding on "its announced in
tention of hiring a nationally
prominent man as director of
athleica?"
We won't bother to say what
we think of the Nebraska State
Journal, altho we are looking for
the corect definition of a term,
"Journalistic license." The pun
wasn't intended, but take it, if
you want. We would just like to
point out to the athletic board
that the oil it poured to sooth the
troubled waters must have been
heavier than water for it sank to
the bottom. Pen-eyed people on
the shore some of the -reading
public at least anticipated
further tidal waves, the most
current of which may be found
on the front page of Saturday's
Journal.
