It should be Publication of cuts showing the proposed development of the Univer sity of Nebraska campus, after the conception of the campus planning committee of which George N. Sey mour of Elgin, former president of the regents, is chairman, should at tract additional support to the re quest of the university authorities for a carefully considered ten-year budget plan for university building. Last year the state legislature was asked to take a long look forward and make provision for a building pro- BUSINESS STAFF T. Blmaunn Morton - Fualnaa Manager TUobard F. Vatta.-Aaa,t Buainaaa Manager Milton MeOraw rimnatlon wan Both students and faculty members seem to be heartily in favor of the plan to lengthen Thanksgiving vaca tion and shorten spring vacation one day. The columns of The Daily Ne braskan give abundant proof to this statement. We are not at all sur prised in this, in fact the benefits of the change are so obvious that the support of the entire University pub lic was almost certain even before the matter, was brought to their at tention. The apparent success of this vaca tion plan is a real victory for the Student Council. At the beginning of the year the Council, a much berated and rundown organization, an nounced an ambitious program for the year. The furtherance of this va cation plan was one of the things on that program. If this goes through, as it probably will, the Student Coun cil should get the credit for it. The acceptance of the plan will also show the willingness of the ad ministration to cooperate with the students. This spirit of cooperation between the two bodies will do much to further the interests of the Uni versity. The World Forum Wednesday noon luncheons have started again and two meetings have been held al ready. C. D. Hayes, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., spoke at the opening meeting and Dr. Bixby, State Journal columnist spoke this week. This is about the only real discus sion group on the campus at the pre sent time in which the subjects which should interest students are discus sed. Despite that fact, the meetings are not as successful as they should he. What the Forum needs is less speaking and more discussion and the subjects should be of more interest to the student body in general than they have been in the past. V aa There is real need of discussion on this campus. The lack of interest on the part of students in the matters which they should naturally be inter ested is almost appalling. There are a few who take note of what is going on around them, but general interest and discussion on campus problems is practically unknown. There is at the present time a movement on foot to start discus sion groups in fraternity houses. It is certain that some discussion groups should be organized. The question is I whether or not the fraternity is the group which should be chosen for this. of years, but it did not see fit to do this. Instead, it adhered to the plan of appropriating only for the biennium, holding that it ought not to commit future legislatures to a definite building program. There is much to be said for this position. Generally speaking, it is a sound one, not to be departed from except when it can be clearly shown that the interests of both the tax payers and the university will be promoted by doing so. It appears to us plain, however, that both economy and sound prac tice favor the long term building pro . . . i gram. An institution as large ana having as many component units as the University of Nebraska ought not to bo built piecemeal developed in accordance with a def inite plan to be worked out row be fore construction has gone to the point where it would be difficult to bring about a unity of desipn. Such a plan has been worked out by Mr. Seymour and his committee and the state owes them an expression of grateful appreciation for their work. It can show this appreciation best by making certain that the next leg islature adopt a policy which will per mit a real step to bo taken toward a realization of the committee's plan. This will not involve the spending of more money than would tne piece meal program. In fact, the economy of building to a well worked-oul plan is so apparent that it almost goe without saying that it will be the most economical and will involve the smallest possible contribution from the taxnavers. At the same time, it will prove best for the university since it may then go ahead with its construction program knowing in ad vance just what to expect. The people of Nebraska want to see their state university go forward in step with the rest of the nation, and this can best be assured by a settled policy of campus develop ment. The University of Nebraska Official Daily Bulletin VOL. II. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1926. NO. 20. Other Opinions The Kosmet Klub has announced the selection of the musical comedy written by Herbert Yenne, "The Dream Pirate," for its 1926 produc tion. The cast will be made up en tirely of men. This will be an inno vation at Nebraska but there is no reason why it should not prove sue cessful here as it has at other large Universities. Since the cast will be made up en tirely of men the Klub will be al lowed for the first time to take the show on a tour of the state some thing which has never been sanc tioned before. This tour will furnish an excellent means of advertising the University to the people in th? state. The time in between acts will be devoted to speeches and perhaps moving pictures and songs all con nected with the University. This tour of the state, especially if it is continued and becomes an an nual affair, will mean a great deal to the University. It will establish a connection between the people in the state and the University which is ob tainable in no other way. This feel ing of good will toward the Univer sity is something which must be cul tivated carefully if this institution if to attain the heights to which it is Teaching.

The Spirit of a T?ue Cornrmnker To the Editor: As freshmen we wonder just what this so-called Spirit of a True Corn husker is, and jusc what it really means and so desire to seek its ideas trying to live up to it. On the cam pus we hear about it. The upper classmen on their way from clis-tS talk about the comin? events of the activities that interest them. Suii;e speak about the fotlaH teams, the Awgwan, the Blue Print, the Daily Nebraskan, Glee clihs, Class officers, Fraternities, Sororities, and so on. The greatest tradition of the Corn- husker institutions is the spirit of the University as a body. A man or woman who has spent 4 years in the University of Nebraska, carries away something that will discover him no matter where he may be found. If one were to go to either the east or west coast, he will find the Corn- husker known for his true rpirit. This is due to the fact that our great col ors, the Scarlet and Cream, are dis played in such a credible fashion by our football and track teams. This that I have just mentioned is very small in comparison with the honors of the men and womor who are leaving the University of Nebraska j and especially those who have gone before really spread the Spirit of a True Cornhusker. Getting back to the freshmen. I.e is wondering how it is possible to obtain this much lauded spirit. Al ready a number of special meetings have been held to start him out right and try and help him In such a way that he may follow the line up the steps till he acquires the Spirit of a True Cornhusker. Now during the next few games let us keep our eyes open and watch our upper classmen, the cheer leaders, Corn Cobs and Tas sels and join in with helping to de velop a winning spirit, the spirit of a True Cornhusker. C. W. W. Track Managers To the Editor: For several weeks a call has been out for candidates for sophomore track manager. To date, one sopho more has appeared for work with something like twenty sophomores needed. It is true that thre is not a great deal of remunerati m for the work and there is always plenty of work. The sophomore managers compete for positions as junior managers from whom the senior manager is selected. The senior managers in each sport are given letters and granted all the privileges of letter men with the exception of voting on captains. This is really a substantial reward and there is the addit'onal reward, true of all college activities, develop ment of worthwhile friendships and contacts with fellow students. In the past, sufficient numbers have generally reported quickly. Evidently certain changes have come over the student body, if the seenr ing of candidates for sophomore track managers w placed or. the same basis as for securing students for many other activities on the w pus, perhaps they could ba secured. Thus, we shouM sngeft that an initiation fee be charj-ed, that a rough initiation, consisting of a se vere paddling and sonid other stunts designed to test tte candidates' abil ity to absorb punishment, should be administered. Fees should be charged to cover the expenses of someone else. And of course, a pin should be designed which could bi prominently displayed by the proud candidates.
