For This Issue
TO LIVE OR TO EXPAND.
It is sometimes necessary to save an institution from its well
meaning friends. There are times when expansion is exceedingly de
sirable and profitable. At such time the efforts and enthusiasm of
those friends, who have a vision of greater development, are most
helpful and acceptable. On the other hand, circumstances may be
such that the problem of maintaining even normal conditions is of
first importance. It may then be a question of remaining alive rather
than of expanding. Such a crucial situation now faces the University
of Nebraska.
There have recently been suggestions and urgent requests for
expansion along many lines. Some of these have been supported by
large and influential groups, acting under the best of motives and
having the highest welfare of the university in view. One in par
ticular which has received mention lately, is the suggestion of the
state press association that the university install a printing plant.
If conditions for expansion were favorable, the assistance of this
interested and most influential body would be very welcome. Just
now, however, the administration is straining every effort to reduce
overhead expenses and to limit the outlay to work now organized, in
order to have sufficient funds to make even a reasonable increase in
faculty salaries. The resignation of three important members of the
faculty just this week brings home the aculteness of the situation.
Salary schedules have advanced everywhere in the effort to keep
pace with the rising cost of living. A recent careful investigation
shows that living expenses have increased more than 100 since
1914. In many lines of work, wages have advanced somewhat propor
tionately. In the steel and Iron industries, the increase has been
120, and in New York factories 94. Even before the rise in living
expenses, salaries at the University of Nebraska were inadequate and
were btlow the standard in institutions of equal standing. In spite
of all efforts at economy, it has been impossible to grant thus far an
increase that would at all cover the mounting costs. Many members
of the faculty are unable to live on the present salaries and unless
there is a substantial increase, almost immediately, it will be neces
sary for them to accept other positions or go into other lines of work.
It may not be generally known that many of the faculty have declined
much more remunerative openings because of their loyalty to this uni
versity. Some of these men are now reaching the limits of their re
sources and in justice to their families, will be compelled to make
other arrangements soon.
If pressure is brought to bear upon the administration to such an
extent that expansion must be made in any one line, this can be
done only at the expense of other departments, and just that much
money mu6t be withdrawn from possible salary increase. The work
of the various departments and colleges is so intimately related that
if, in the act of improving one, a member of the force should be lost
to another, a real injury would result to the department being en
larged. Thus an addition to the college of engineering that prevented
an increase sufficient to hold a member of the department of mathe
matics, would result in a loss to the former department. A similar
result would follow in nearly all closely related work.
The administration is believed to be kindly disposed toward work
in journalism and will welcome the interest and co-operation of news
paper forces in the state in any efforts to improve it that will not re
quire extreme expenditure. The course now offered here will com
pare favorably with institutions of similar rank all over the country.
The printing plant is lacking. The outlay of the $100,000 necessary
to secure an adequate plant is indeed desirable, but would be made
now only at the expense of money sorely needed for the salary
increase.
No friend of the university .who understands this situation and
who desires to keep the University of Nebraska upto its recognized
high standard would urge such action at this critical time.

The tender and young who have come
down among
Us, seeking the germ of knowledge,
WJio, after they're here for less than
a year
Have savyed no place for a college;
Who travel about when the lights are
all out
And sleep while the diligent work,
Should travel on back to the home
town shack
And play with the grocery clerk.
To mingle the gay with the book-
taught way
Is all fair enough, don't think,
That the geezer who rages among the
pages
Of knowledge will win the drink;
hut too much fun cooks the goose too
done
And somebody's gonna lose
And retravel the rails to the burg
whence he hails
To reap what he sewed as his dues.
Don't stay out so late that the lock
on the gate
Refuses to aid in your sin,
And yuh pry at the screens as the
only means
Of letting your fool self In;
While the rest of the crew and the
matron too
Are sawing a cord of logs,
And your bones are chilled and the
ozone's filled
With their chirping as shrill as the
frog's.
So at least give a look at a page of
I your book
j Or cut out the whole bum stall,
I And get away clear from the mess
j you're In here
j For youll never get by, not at all.
I've trie it myself and the books on
the shelf
Need the covers pried back now and
then
Just button your ears and heed not
youi fears
And you'll win the Ivory 'Yen.'
