DEAN ENGBERG'S SPEECH
We wish to take this opportunity
to thank Dean Engberg for his parti
cipation in the Dramatic Club skit, at
the annual University Night program,
Saturday night. At the request of
members of the club he agreed to ap
parently Interrupt the progresa of
the act, and by his short address
further add to the success of the
fun-fest. This diversion has resulted
in a slight misunderstanding on the
part of some of the more credulour
people, who thought that the stunt
was merely a display of authority
1 he spirit which prompted . Dean
Engberg to risk adverse criticism and
not only to back the satire on Uni
versity life, but to take part In It
personally, should be understood and
deeply appreciated by the Btudent
body.
MEMBERS OF DRAMATIC CLUB
securing their spring training In foot
ballgetting ready six months ahead
of time for an already much ovcr
BtrcBscd sport. II. K.
LET'S PLAY BASEBALL
To the Editor:
The suggestion contained In yes
terday's columns in The Daily Ne-
braskan that baseball Bhould not bo
discontinued at Nebraska Is a good
one. "Zim" and "Eim" have pointed
out that the principle arguments ad
vanced against having a baseball
team are that the sport is not profit
able and that training facilities are
inadequate.
Probably the training facilities are
not the most desirable but, as was
mentioned, "In the Valley," they are
better this year than they have been
for the past few years because the
new Field House can now be used for
early training.
The main argument against base
ball, then, sem& to be that it is un ¬
profitable. This must be admitted.
But it seems that any sport should be
justified upon other grounds than
the financial side. If profit alone is
to be considered perhaps the Uni
versity had better sponsor the art of
bull fighting or attempt to produce
some Jack Dempsey's to bring in the
coin.
If the benefit to the individuals
who take part in athletics is consid
ered surely baseball has as much jus
tification as any college sport. At
least there is not so much danger of
this kind of physical training re
sulting in broken bones and other
serious injuries aa there is from
football. Also a larger number of
individuals participate in baseball
than in any other sports except foot
ball and track.
If the desire of the student body
which attends athletic events is con
sidered, baseball should be re-estab
lished. Track is a : worth while
port because of the training it of-
fords for such a large number of in
dividuals but track meets are never
very well attended. Neither have the
wrestling crowds been as large as the
attendance at the baseball games.
But evidently the benefits to the
athletes and the desires of the stu
dent body are not to be considered
and so this spring instead of hearing
the sharp crack of the bat meeting
the ball or watching a man slide into
home plate the Cornhuskers will be
The Other Side of the Rent-a-Car
Question
Has It ever occurred to the student
body that perhaps their attack upon
the Rent-a-Ford dealers was unjusti
fied? Have the leaders of tho move
ment to abolish renting cars Inter
viewed theso dealers and ascertained
the facts that caused the local deal
ers to raine their rates? Tho answer
is NO.
Wo have heretofore taken but one
Btand on the question and without
Beriously considering the facts have
heartily opposed tho dealers' attempt
to secure a fair return on their In
vestment. In the writer's opinion,
wo, as good American citizens, should
not make our decision until we have
heard every side of the argument.
This is tho fundamental principle of
our system of justice and any citizen
would feel that one of his inherent
rights had been Imposed upon If this
privilege were denied.
During the past few days I have
interviewed several local dealers and
find that they are unanimous in their
opinion that they are not receiving
enough profit on their Investment.
The most prominent dealer in Lin
coln stated that last year his profits
were less than any previous year not
withstanding tho fact that the in
vestment was far larger than ever
and a far greater volume of busines
was handled. Tho dealer's invest
ment is enormous and the return over
the amount which would be received
as interest if this were placed in a
bank was not sufficient to pay them
the salary they deserve.
The Rent-a-Car dealers in Lincoln
should receive very good return, for
their business is very unstable. Be
cause the majority of the business
comes from out-of-town students,
three months of the year they receive
but very little business. Regardless
of this fact they must remain open
twenty-four hours a day and 3C5
days a year. Does not the fair-,
minded student believe that a person
engaged in such a trying business
should receive a far higher Income
than the man who works but eight
hours a day and has one day of the
week which he may call his own?
The dealers here do not wish to
impose on the student body. They
realized that their action would
arouse much antagonism and dreaded
it as much as did the students. It
was either their task to raise the
rates or close thei doors and the
latter move would have inconveni
enced the students a great deal.
Personally I believe the renting of
cars is one of the greatest social ev
ils of the university. But, since it
is a custom which will continue, I
think we have no right to call the
local dealers robbers for it is their
honest intention to serve the students
as cheaply as possible. If I were to
argue of the evil of renting cars it
would be another long story, but I
only wish to encourage the student
body to consider the question fairly
and I believe they will all be heart
ily in accord with the justified in
crease in prices. N. B. V
Oregon reports have come of the
wide spread and Increasing interest
in the proposals for projects of vari
ous sorts which were outlined at Ev
k.iBton. The Continuation Committee is
helping to start five student com
missions to head up project work in
theBii various fields. Each of these
commissions, although composed of
students, will have the help of an ex
pert adviser. The first commission
is to undertake the investigation of
the educational processes of the
churches particularly with reference
to the way in which the facts are
being broadcast, of how tho Church
Is already, in terms of definite
cases, helping to build a new social
order. The material for this survey
will be gathered by students. The
second commission is studying ways
and means for Church student coop
eration and relating itself to all the
union projects already undertaken
by the students themselves. There
will be further commissions on stu
dents, and international relationship;
church leadership in student com
muniticB, etc.
The Continuation Committee is
seeking to co,rrelate and conserve
these various projects. Communi
cations which relte directly or indi
rectly to this work can bo sent to the

Twenty Years Ago
A finance committee under the
leadership of Mr. I. L. Thompson,
started a special campaign for funds.
The second annual interclass gym
nasium contest was to be held in the
Armory. The purpose of the meet
ing was to ralso money to help de
fray expenses of sending the gym
team to Chicago for tho Western In
tercollegiate Gymnastics Meet to be
held In April. Dr. Clapp arranged
a very interesting and novel pro
gram for the event.
For tho benefit of the "needy and
overworked" tho Department of Rhe
toric established a make up exami
nation to be held junt before the
middle of each semester. This was
to enable the students who were
cither conditioned or absent from
the semester examinations to make
up the deficiency.
