FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1009.
- It Is realized that tho present Ne
braska leglBlaturo was oloctotl upon
nn economy platform and yot It will
bo hard to porsuado Nebraska citizens
that this included tho economizing of
tho expenditures of Andrew Carnegie.
Yot that Is what tho legislators Beom
bound to do.
MinnoBota medical students recontly
suspended a human cadavar over the
platform during chapel exorclsos.
When tho specimen was lowered Into
vlow, hanging suspended by a ropo
about Its neck, several students faint
ed. Which prank causos ono to won
der whether the modlcs were merely
joking or simply ondeavorlng to Intro
duce a new omblom ropresontatlvo of
life at Minnesota. Undoubtedly some
jBUch design would be suitable for the
Minnesota official seal.
By a recent publication of a bul
letin of tho national bureau of educa
tion Nebraska was ranked as main
taining a preparatory course, in both
academic work and agriculture. Other
institutions such aB Mlnnosota, Illinois
and Wisconsin, woro credited with be
ing up to full university Btandard.
? 0. Two Stores 1415,0.
Since tho publication, tho Nebraska
authorities have taken tho matter up
with tho Washington men and tho
next bullotln will rank Nobraska
where sho belongs, as not maintain
ing a preparatory school. Tho Tem
ple high school Is an establishment
for laboratory work on the part of
university studonts. It Is not a prep
school, nor" Is the secondary school of
agriculture In that class. Easterners
are prone to think that western schools
ao not up to tho standard In this 'as
well as other ways, and It is gratify
ing to knpw that ono such injustico
has been righted.
ROOM8NOT 8ATI8FACTORY.
The editorial rooms of the Dally Ne
braskan are not adequate nor suitable
fpr tho work for which they were
. intended. Located in tho basement of
the Administration building, those
who must work there are forced to
work under tho most disadvantageous
circumstances. The Inconvlenence of
tho office hns been felt all year but
now that warm weather has come it
is ,even more noticeable.
';vOf course the present ofllces are
vastly superior to the offices, that tho
Nqbraskan used to have In University
Hall. At that tlmq tho university pub
lication waB- issued from the' end of
' -the liall on the Becond floor, but tho
Temple Theatre
w f!
sheet waB thon much smallor and
much lesB office room was needed
than 1b now tho case. At the present
time with a staff of reporters tho No
braskan office 1b often crowded to
bucIi a point that It Is Impossible to
do good work.
But this Is not tho moat important
side of the question. Tho manner In
which tho presont offices are heated
makes it impossible for ono working
In them to bo comfortable. As the
rooms nro half below tho ground the
floor is below tho top of tho heating
plant and thus It Is necessary to have
overhead radiators. Tho offect of this
can only bo appreciated by ono who
has worked in a room whoro the boat
comes from above. Tho heating pipes
in the Administration building arc so
arranged that it Is ImpoBslblo to turn
off heat in any part of. the building
until tho heat Is turned off from tho
whole building. It Ih often necessary
to have some heat for the ofllces on
tho north Bldo of tho building when
any boat makes it too hot for work
In the Nebraskan ofllces. In such a
caBo as this the only thing that can
bo done Is to open tho windows, which
is at best a vory unsatisfactory meth
od of ventilating.
The worst feature of tho ofllcos Is
encountered during registration weok,
when tho large number of students on
the floor abovo makes a constant
sifting of dirt and dust from above,
which covers everything and makes
work impossible.
It would seem that it Bhould be
possible to And a room some place
upon the campus whoro tho uncom
fortable features of the rooms in tho
basement of the Administration build
ing would not bo present. Tho Ne
broBknn Is a university affair and do
servos better treatment than It .has
received in this matter.
