For Th'S l6sue
THE ENGINEERS.
The Daily N braskan is today issued by the Engineering College.
Wo appreciate the interest that various organizations and depart
ments have taken in the students' paper. The different issues put
out by new staffs give to the student body a point of view brought
inwn to details. Each department is better able to present the
irierests in their work than a miscellaneous group of workers who
pie merely trying to boil down the general school news. We hope
that special interest will be felt in this issue and any others that may
follow.
A SINGLE TAX FOR ENGINEERS.
The Engineers have recently taken the first step toward actually
Laving a single tax and what a relief it will be when one pays the
annual dues of $3.00 and knows that he at least will not be touched
at every turn in the registration line for money to finance one or
more ol the engineering societies or publications.
So far. this is far from being an ideal single tax proposition but
one step at a time is all that can be expected of any good movement.
It remains yet to make the payment compulsory for every Engineer,
increase the dues a slight amount so as to include, with what one
now receives, a subscription to -The Daily Nebraskan." and still
havt enough money to put on a good smoker or two and be able to
support any other engineering activity which will be a help to the
school, as well as to the students.
At first thought one would say that this would make the fees
too high and keep some out of the college. But on comparing what
is now received for the J3.00 with that of last year when payments
were made to the different societies and publications it is very evi
dent that much more can be done with the one payment. For in
stance, when the Engineers are in the registration line next year
thev will be asked to join only the one society. The American Asso
ciation of Engineers. Upon payment of the annual dues to this asso
ciation they will become members of the National Association receiv
ing their membership card, the monthly publication (The Professional
Engineer), and the Engineers' Directory. They also become mem
beis of the Student Chapter made up of the departmental societies
and receive the student publication. The Blue Print.
Now if this can be done with only $3.00 collected from 40 per
cent of the Engineers, why not make the payment compulsory, in
crease the dues a reasonable amount so as to include a smoker or
iwo'pnd a subscription to the "Daily Nebraskan"?
SUPPORT FOR SPRING SPORTS.
Whenever an athletic season rolls around it is invariably accom
panied by a request for the student body to get out and give Its sup
port. But unlike their winter contemporaries, spring sports seem
always to labor under the disadvantage of a dearth or support.
Kain, snow, or extreme cold seldom Interferes with an en masse
turnout at a football game. The importance of r.n evening engage
ment has not in the past hampered the attendance at basketball
games. Wrhen attention Is directed to spring sports the situation
assumes a new aspect.
Cinder path stars after a season of trdious preparation, have
seldom been able to get more than a handful of people to watch them
perform. Baseball, moved for convenience to the lower campus,
causes only a slight ripple of excitement. These conditions ought to
be reversed.
A baseball game or a track m;t is always dependent on good
weather. There is never the possib'.llty of interference with a "date"
or a chance to suffer the discomfort of bad weather. Not only that
the teams actually need the support.
