Manager Sinpaon Morton Circulation Manager Raymond Swalkaw Circulation Manager LEGISLATURE IN SESSION With the state legislature in ses- Bion, ten blocks from the city cam pus, University of Nebraska students again have an opportunity of which they do not usually take ad vantage to observe the workings of the legislative branch of state government. Students are assumed to compose an enlightened group in terested in the problems of repre sentative government. Unfortun ately, most of the students seem unconcerned over what the "general public" thinks of them, and since they have no interest in the pro cedure of the legislature, they never visit the capitol during a session. Perhaps an appeal to "loyalty to Nebraska" would be a more effective means of persuading students to at tend than would an attempt to point out the advantages of attendance. After they have entered one of the halls they cannot help hearing what is said and observing the procedure. Those who are persuaded to spend enough time in this way to under stand what is going on can never afterward be accused of ignorance of the operation of the government under which they live and which rep resents them. At any rate, every student should try to make at least one short visit during the session. Some of them will themselves be representatives or senators after graduation, but most of them will enter business or a pro fession and spend the rest of their lives far from the seat of govern ment. If they are to be intelligent voters, then, they should have some knowledge of actual legislative proceedings. SUPPORT LINDLEY. The latest developments in the trouble at the University of Kansas lend a strong defense to statements of Chancellor E. H. Lindley that his removal is sought by Governor Jona than Davis for political reasons. The University Daily Kansan for Janu ary 7 published the text of a resolu tion adopted by the Women's Self Government Association of the Uni versity of Kansas: "Be it resolved by the executive council of the Women's Self-Govern-ment Association of the University of Kansas, representing the women students of the University: That we believe the best interests of higher education in Kansas will be served by the retaining of Dr. E. H. Lind ley as Chancellor of the University. "From a close observation of his work in this institution, we are unan imous in our conclusion that he has proved himself to be an honest, able, and fair executive and a gentleman of the highest and best ideals. "We know that he has sought to serve the state by serving the inter ests of the students of this Univer sity. His outlook has been broad, kind, and liberal and his contact with the student life has been con tinuously and unmistakably sympathetic. "Furthermnre, from our intimate knowledge ot University life, we know that Chancellor Lindley has not procrastinated in the affairs that concern us. "It is our opfnion that the removal of Chancellor Lindley will prove a serious blow not only to the Univer sity of Kansas., but to the whole state." A meeting was planned for Wed nesday evening at lAie University to consider petitions to be sent to Governor-elect Paulen asking that Chan cellor Lindley be reta.ned. The students are not the only ones interested in the cause of the Chan cellor. The Kansas State Teachers Association recently circulated an article advocating adoption of a sys tem somewhat like that governing the University of Nebraska. Follow ing is a part of the article: "The removal of Chancellor Lind ley is more than a blow at an es teemed and honored educator. It is more than the crippling of a great University. It is, in a very large sense, a vicious attack upon the en tire educational system of the State of Kansas. For, if the Governor can, on a personal whim, inject politics in the University of Kansas what assurance is there that politics soon er or later will not color our entire system of education? What assur ance does any superintendent, prin cipal or teacher have, in the light of this striking example, of inviolability of contract or of continued tenure through efficient service? What as surance do any of the Btate schools have that hereafter these schools will not be made the playthings of the politicians? "Whatever fruit this disaster may bear, it should result in a complete revision of our system of laws gov erning the State educational insti tutions. It is high time that these institutions be so far removed from any political control that no Gover nor may use them as a target for his personal vengeance. These schools should be removed from the jurisdic tion of the State Board of Admistra tion and placed in the hands of a separate board made up of high class men and women who will accept ap pointment only because of their de sire to further the educational inter ests of the State. Such a board should be a non-pay board consist ing, say, of seven members appoint ed for a seven-year period in order to give the board permanency and to remove it from the unfair domina tion of the Governor's office." THE OIL SUPPLY. Leaders of the American oil indus try have been called to Washington to confer with the admistration's oil conservation board composed of Sec retary of War Weeks, Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior 'Work and Secretary of Commerce Hoover. "Present rapid depletion of the nation's oil reserves" is to be the subject of discussion, press dispatches state. This alert preparation for inevita ble exhaustion of the oil supply, which will probably not occur for several hundreds of years, is inter esting in the face of a. dismissal of the problem as not critical by an authoritative article in the official journal of the American Chemical society. The article, prepared by Dr. W. F. Shaphorst of Newark, N. J., is reported to read: "Because of the growth in oil pro duction it can now be safely said that even purchasers of motor cars need fear no cessation of oil supply, and prospective users of fuel oil in chemical and industrial plants need no longer ask each other the usual question, 'Will it pay us to convert over to oil burning? Will the supply of oil be exhausted before we get our investment back?' "Those who have made a study of the matter declare that the supply of oil is ample for hundreds of years. There are 15,000,000 automobiles in the United States, all of them using as much gasoline as they want. "If restrictions are ever to be made anywhere, gasoline supply to the automobile field will surely be cur tailed before the essential industries are touched. The chemical industry is, of course, an essential industry." The oil supply is not unlimited. Sometime in the course of the next few centuries the supply will be scarce. Yet it is being recklessly used, with hardly a warning from the men of science who should be the most interested in the conservation of the supply. Grain alcohol will have to be used when the supply of gasoline is gone, scientific men say. That is probably as convenient to use as gasoline, they say, and can be produced for market price of about fifteen cents a gallon. A wiser course than the present one would be to restrict the auto mobile industry to the use of this ap parently excellent substitute for gas oline, and so put off as long as pos sible the exhaustion of the oil supply and consequent hampering of essen tial industries. Twenty Years Ago With the presidential election only a month off, the political bosses of the sophomore class were clearing their decks for action and the gen erals on both sides were lining up their men for active campaign work. It was rumored that the machine in power had not done all in its power toward safeguarding the interests of the class and had been unfair in making appointments. Due to this When you write home for money, use SANFORD'S Fountain Pen Ink Ifa Permanent Blue-Black and All Colors rvvarnwrnuns n rumor a party of liberalista had been organized that proposed to "fight fire with fire." Tha only evidence of the coming political storm was to be found in the little groups of soph omores that were earnestly talking the matter over. The women were taking advantage of the woman suf frage clause and their votes ranked above par. The basketball team was working hard in preparation for the games that were to come in the last part of the month. An additional trip into the west was being planned in which games with the Cheyenne "Giants," University of Colorado, Greeley and Colorado colleges were to be played. New Buits had arrived for the team. They were very similar to the old ones, with black pants and black jer seys with scarlet ring and the cream "N" in center.
