lution offered by Mr. Judson, seems
to be the logical settlement and will
no doubt be very acceptable to lovers
of literature on the campus.
Delay in offering Mr. Neihardt a
position on the faculty may be fatal
to the opportunity to his native state
of keeping him. An expression- of
opinion from ' students and faculty
members on this question is wasted
The conclusion is foregone, however
Nebraska University wants Nebras
ka's poet laureate.

Flagrant violations of the "smoking
on the campus" rule have served to
start a movement to have some mea
sures taken to prevent the reckless
disregard of the order.
Perhaps the tearing down of the
iron fence has caused many to wonder
just what is included in the campus
proper. Perhaps some have thought
that smoking was prohibited only
during certain hours. But neither of
these excuses account for the smoking
during the morning and afternoon not
only around buildings but actually in
many of the halls.
Suggestions that the rule be en
tirely withdrawn have not met with
favorable responses at all for practi
cally everyone realizes the valid rea
son for which the rules were enacted.
It is not that people believe that
the rules are not needed, but rather
the conviction that utter disregard of
this rule will lead to disregard of
others.
Cannot the smoking rule be made
more definite? Cannot definite times
and places be attached to the regula
tion and some effort made to enforce
the rule? Such enforcement would
not have to be strenuous or continued
for any great length of time than
enough to bring to mind the new rule.
Students realize that respect to the
institution alone is enough to validate
the smoking rule.
It is hard to lay down any definite
area but there are certain places
which no one will question should be
in the limits of the "no smoking''
zone. For example, let the rule be
set so that no smoking would be al
lowed in any University building at
any time of day or night and none
allowed within so many yards of the
buildings. Or, let a boundary be
placed from eleventh to fourteenth
and from II ti U streets.
Perhaps there would be exempt
areas, say on the drill field, but such
exceptions should be cut to an ab
solute minimum to prevent repetition
of the condition of uncertainty alout
the rulings which we believe is in a
large measure responsible for the lack
of respect for the standing rule.

Is Nebraska to lose her poet laure
ate? This may happen unless the
regents take favorable action on the
announced intention of Frank Judson,
president of the Board of Regents to
offer John G. Neihardt, Nebraska's
laureate, a position on the University
faculty.
The story conies to Lincoln through
the Omaha Bee that Carleton College
at Northfield, Minnesota, is trying to
take Neihardt from Nebraska by of
fering him a place on the faculty of
that institution. Is it true that the
old saying a great man is never ap
preciated in his own country is to
hold true once more? Does Minne
sota appreciate our poetical genius
more than we ourselves?
Michigan and Miami Universities
have brought great poets to their
campuses with the plan of influencing
and inspiring the students through
their contact with these artists. A
distinct field for this work is evident
in every board educational insttiution.
Nebraska is no exception and should
not lag behind in this respect.
That the offer will be tempting
to the Nebraska poet is evidenced by
the fact that Mr. Neihardt is en
gaged in writing an epic on life on
the p.diries which is highly praised.
On this work, he will labor for three
years with a slender income. The 80-

merits open to the public.
"There are some people who do not
believe in the advancement of medi
cine and surgery," said Prof. O. O,
Stoland, head of the department of
physiology, "but the majority of
people do and if they are to support
the development of medicine and sur
gery, they must understand the neces
sity for vivisection on the lower ani
mals. It is necessary for the phy
sician and surgeon to become trained
for his service to mankind by his ex
periments on the lower animals.
"In' our treatment of dogs, rabbits,
and other animals with which we
work we are very humane. All dogs
upon which we operate are given an
anaesthetic from which in no case
they are allowed to recover. This is
muc more humane than shooting the
dogs, as is done in the, city pounds
from which we obtain most of our
dogs. After we receive the dogs they
get better treatment, food, and shelter
than they have probably ever known
before."
A Kansan reporter made a recent
visit to the drab shack, that has been
called "the most pitiful spot in Kan
sas," where the dogs are kept to be
fed up that they may be used for sci
entific purposes. If a group of bark
ing dogs, divided into small numbers
in separate inclosures 'with large steel
troughs of water, bones, and a double
walled shed with plenty of straw for
bedding, can be called pitiful, this is
undoubtedly a pitiful spot. It is true
a better place could be provided, and
it K5 the hope of all concerned that
this will be done soon.
In regard to other points laid bare
by the inquiry, one professor states
that since his time at the university
six years, he has never received a
shipment of dogs from Hiawatha,
Kan. The "poor little turtle" that
was provided with no water hap
pened to be a dry-land turtle that
needed no water except from the
apple peelings that it had been eat
ing. The "half dozen Indian mon
keys" consists of four in all that are
used only for observation by a profes
sor in the department of zoology.
"The only way that children's pets
may become the property of the Uni
versity," said the professor, "is that
they may be taken up by the city
police department and bought by us,
or that they may be sold to us by
someone who has stolen them and
claims to be their own."

provide punishment for the use of
animals for scientific purposes in the

Charges of cruelty in the use of
animals for vivisection in the Uni
versity of Kansas, made in the Chris
tian Science Monitor for February 13,
have been answered by F. J. Kelly,
dean of administration, and Frof. O.
O. Stoland, head of the department of
physiology, who say that the writer
of the article has given readers un
faliliar with actual facU a wrong im
pression of the work done here and
of the treatment of the animals.
Legislators at Topeka and the fac
ulty an dofficials of the University
have received marked copies of the
paper.
Instructors who use the animals
for experimentation believe that the
artille shows on the surface its pra
judice point of view and that no fair-
minded person would take it seri
ously.
In regard to the writer's statement
that she was not allowed to enter the
rooms in the animal house where ex
periments were being performed,
Dean Kelly said, "This is possibly
true, but by applying for a permit
at the chancellor's office or my office
anyone may visit any room of the
university at any time. Anyone can
see the reasons for not leaving the
laboratories and scientific experi
