one recommendation was a fire alarm
system that can be sounded from any
floor.

and passed away at the home of her
parents, November 26, 1934, at the
age cf
years, 8 months and 19
days, alter a prolonged illness of
seme four years duration.
When she was three. years old, her
parents moved to Elmwood, and after
residing there niqe months, the fam
ily 'fame to AlvSs, where they have
sines resided. .
At the age of eight years, che unit
ed with the Methodist Episcopal
church cf Alvo, in which she has al
ways been a faithful membar. She
graduated from the Alvo consolidated

A. Ingwerson, of Fremont, Nebraska,
as well as other near relatives and a
host cf friends.
Often as we watched her there,
From our llp3 there fell this
prayer
"God, give us the pain to benr!
Let us suffer in her place,
Take the anguish Ircm her face,
Sooth her with thy holy grace."
Then the angels came, and they
Took her lovely soul away
From the tcrture house of clay;
As we'd prayed, they brought
release
Soothed her brew with gentle
peace,
But our pain shall never ceao.
Ours is now the hurt to bear.
Ours the anguish and despair.
Ours the agony to share!
When our hearts with grief were
stirred.
Thus we prayed and thus we
heard, ,
Shall wc tail to keep our word?
Wss cur promise all in vain?
Would we call her back again
Just to spare ourselves the pain?
We are hurt, ah, that is true!
Desclute and lonely, toe
Suffering as we pledge to do.
Lovely now her life shall be
Safe through all eternity,
Always beautiful to see;
Now the pain is ours to know.
But we prayed to bear this blow
' That she need not suffer so.

university and there were prospects
students may publish and finance an
independent newspaper to escape
Senator Long's dictatorship over the
University Press.
Tha editorial staff of the Reveille
seven students had resigned rath
er than submit the columns of the
paper to a faculty censorship invoked
to prevent criticism of Long.
The senator himself failed to an
swer "Reveille." He was nowhere in
the front ranks of the controversy
raging among students of the school
of journalism who demanded they !
be allowed freedom of speech ar.d j
print or they would permanently de- !
sert the college publication.
Samuel A. Montague, president of j
the journalism students, and one of j
twenty-six suspended for protesting!
the "gag" on the paper, said he had
been told by Dr. J. M. Smith, presi- j
dent of the university that he would j
have no objection if the students pub- J
