After several years 01 ueuHi, ," tion, the bill has passed the Senate and the House and is now in the hands of the president, awaiting his deci sion. Nebraska, like the other middlewestern states has been vitally interested in the progress of the bill. Tho state is dependent upon a prosperous agriculture. Ad vocate, of the bill have pushed it as a measure which will help to pull agriculture out of its present unsatis factory condition. The innovations which the bill pro poses would in themselves command interest and at tention. Concerned as it is with Nebraska's basic in dustry, the bill warrants the attention of future Ne braskans. The bill is new, unique, complicated. And it has had a varied evolution. During the war, production on American farms was naturally increased. The increase, the result not only of under-production in Europe, but also of pro paganda and publicity by the United States govern ment, has been one of the major factors in the agricul tural distress. Rapid deflation following the war which proved much more injurious to agriculture than to other industries, was another important factor in put ting the farmer in an unsatisfactory position. As a result of the distress of the farmers, various proposals designed to help put agriculture on a parity with other industries have been introduced into Con gress for several years. Chief among these each time has been some form of the McNary-Haugen bill. The present form Is a very different bill from the original. But throughout, it has attempted to apply new prin ciples to the solution of our agricultural difficulty. The first McNary-Haugen bill proposed to relieve agriculture somewhat in the following manner. A government board was to buy up enough of a commod ity which was selling at a low price so that the price would come up to a definite value on a parity with the prices of other commodities. It was figured that by thus removing a small percentage of the crop, a satis factory price for the remainder of the crop could be maintained. The government board was then to dis pose of the purchased surplus by selling it at a loss if necessary, on the foreign market. The expenses of handling and the losses were to be coverd by an equali zation fee, determined by estimates beforehand. The equalization fee was to be collected on each unit of the whole crop. The theory was that all would pay a small share to dispose of the surplus in order to get a fair price on the portion of the crop consumed domestically. In essence, the present bill attempts to do the same thing. Various changes have been made, chief of which is the fact that the government board is, in the present bill, not to buy and sell, but merely to assist cooperative organizations. The equalization fee feature has been retained. Whether the plan would work, whether it would help the farmer if it did, and the constitutionality of the equalization fee have been the chief sources of con troversy. Middlewestern agricultur has been united behind the bill. It feels that other industries have been aided by the government while agriculture has lippn Ipft in a crinnled condition. The plan is one with enough new features, and of sufficient importance to the life of this region to war rant Keeping in toucn wnn its progress. The Chinese government wants it distinctly un derstood that no Englishmen are to hang out at Pekin or peek in at Hankow. It it not entitled to be the sola and dominant factor In Unlvendty social llfo. The trouble has been that everything else has been subordinated to expenttf. Expense, in other words, quantity, has been the chief requirement for a successful party. The Dally Nebras kan believe, that a soclul system capable of satisfying the student body and building the larger values of human personality which social contacts should develop can be cntabllnhed on a human rather than on a finan cial basis. It is a matter for student cooperation and action. ' "The president stands on the Kellogg note to the warring factions in China." Just what would he do if they stepped on it too? DEDICATORY Inscribed to Chariot H. Morrill Wo of the dying age salute tho new And to its glory here we1 dedicate This temple as a. sacred heritage. Primeval wonders here will bo revealed To all who come with the1 discerning eye. Mute fragments of tho past will here recall That elemental drama of all time When chaos struggled Into cosmic form. Inspired minds will sense the1 mystery Of matters quickening into pulsing life Of monster yielding to intelligence Of man triumphant over brutish beast. Here will Apollo's lute again resound And Venus will exert her mystic chBrm To that exalted and ecstatic life That is not ever to be satisfied Except in efforts toward the highest good. Notices Here will the future of our land be shaped For they who will be called upon to fight It's vital issues, shape its policies Will find their inspiration in these halls. From this high altar will the spirit rise For broader culture and humaner law For the republic of enlightened souls: A greater Athens a more glorious Rome. JOHN G. BAXTER. Whenever a highbrow lecturer comes to the cam pus, he leaves in his wake a little wave of highbrow words which are used industriously for a few days by the highbrows and would-be highbrows of tho campus. It is beginning to seem that speeches demanding law enforcement may come and go, but that crime goes on forever. In Other Columns These no-decision debates are misnomers. Every one who hears the debate has a decision, and most of them are different. Creighton Creightontan WHAT MAKES A PARTY Interest in quantity, rather than quality, has been termed one of the fundamental errors in modern civili zation. Is the same thing one of the difficulties of the University's present social life? Every group' and organization on the campus has parties and then more parties. One hears of more par ties! One hears of bigger parties! But how rarely one hears of better parties! Except of course, the stereotyped after-comment, "Oh, it was the best party I ever went to." What are parties anyway? Are they the scenery? Are they the orchestra? Or are they something which comes from friendly associations during the few hours when care and worry may be abandoned? The Daily Nebraskan. is not going to attempt to settle what a party is. It couldn't do it if it wanted to. But The Nebraskan would like to awaken student thought in regard to what parties really are and what they might be. Fratern'ty and sorority competition and group pride have tended to make the setting of the party seem more important than the human element. A social organization based on common friendship and good feeling cannot be established where greatest stress is laid on the expense put on the party. Nebraska stu dents have let their social system get away from them It is time for the system to be brought back to a plane where the human rather than the financial element will I most important. The same note was struck a year ago in the Anti Eent-A-Fcrd campaign. The principal behind the cam paign was the fact that the campus social system had become too expensive. A raise in prices was merely tne iiasn tnat set the charge off. The campaign failed in its express purpose, to eli mmat that system of transportation. But it did awak en the student body to one thing. The student body oegan to realize that a date and a rented car weren'i inseparable things. Walking when the distance per iiiitted once more became possible. That much was whe rro:Trpss toward a sane social Kvafprn - T.'e realize that a party can't be put on without form expense. Some is justified. It is a phase of school life which is entitled to some attention. But An Example) for tho Senate When the student council of the University of Ne braska discovered that ballot boxes in the senior class election had been fraudulently stuffed, the election was immediately declared void, and a new one ordered. To the students, this seemed a simple problem in ethics, and there was neither doubt nor hesitancy in declaring for honesty in class politics. One can't buy or bribe one's way into leadership on the university campus. There's a moral in this for the United States sen ate. Smith of Illinois and Vare of Pennsylvania are knocking at the senate doors, demanding seats. The evidence is overwhelming that by the expenditure of vast sums of money both practically stuffed the ballot boxes to secure their nominations; and there are indica tions equally as convincing that in the case of Vare, this was followed by fraudulent voting. Here's a problem in ethics identical to that so promptly solved at Nebraska university. But the sen ators, not so clear in their understanding of right and wrong, pMt aside discussions of honesty and begin to consider "state's rights," "constitution prerogative", and other topics that seem, somehow, to be beside the point. Let the issue be placed upon the high plane of honesty and the sacredness of the1 ballot box and Smith of Illinois and Vare of Pennsylvania will retire to pri vate life.

Red it Unwanted Color in Finland Anything associated with the color red is difficult to sell in Finland. An American automobile manu facturer consigned a large number of automobiles to Finland, and while most of the cars Bold rapidly, 40 of them were unsalable owing to the various shades of red that had been used in painting the cars. They had to be repainted to invite Finnish buyers. The scholarship committee at Stan ford University has made a recent ruling which requires a "C" average from students on probation.

Edison MillsrCo For History Paper, Note Books, Fountain Pens and Portfolios 218 No. 12th Profes.ing Ai It la Done "The professor has slid from the upper stratum of society down almost to the bottom of the middle class," claims Dean Otto Heller of Washington University in an article appearing in a recent issue of the Scientific Monthly. Dean Heller notes with alarm and disfavor that the scholarly type of college instructor is being replaced by one who thinks and acts like a successful business man. He iears that this change, aside irom lowering the social status of the professors themselves, is exert ing a bad effect upon college students. He believes that an interest in knowledge for its own sake will disappear and instead will come a desire for that type of learning only which brings monetary reward. Going into more detail concerning the change in faculty types, Heller says, "The professor used to be alien to the pastures of the Elks, Moose, Buffaloes, Bulls, and Bears, but now he is 'hail fellow well met.' He frequently lectures to the class on the psychology of salesmanship, or the human side of retailing. Town. folks no longer shrink from his portentious erudition. He can talk on subjects dear to Kiwanian hearts, the sporting page, the late quotations, golf scores, radio news, and "The Saturday Evening Post". Reading Dean Heller's remarks one cannot help but find in them considerable truth, and for his opinions considerable justification. The regretable situation upon which he has commented is much less acute at Stanford than at other universities. But it is becoming worse here with each passing year. It is resulting in the steady growth of the idea that the function of an education is to prepare the student for a life of financial success rather than a life of intellectual enlightenment and enjoyment. It is hard to see what desirable1 end this new philosophy of education is going to lead. A man goes to a university and there masters some profession or business that is highly remunerative. In the event that he earns a great deal of money he is at a loss to know what to do with it. Being himself an uncultured indivi dual he has no great appreciation for the scholarly life and he insists that his children follow in his footsteps and attain a "practical" success. The thing goes on in a vicious circle. It is our opinion that the problem is to be solved if at all, by a movement upon the part of the students themselves. Trustees and regents of universities have shown no disposition to do anything about it. (Most of them are themselves successful business men.) Col lege professors are apparently of little or no value for the reason set forth by Dean Heller, to-wit: "that those professors who would teach the value of cultural development are rapidly being replaced by synthetic business men tsmnd out by socalled schools of busi ness." Stanford Daily Talks of eating at the At or about noon most per sons eat more or less iood. Some call it "lunch" or "lunch eon" and eat sparingly. OtheTs call it "dinner" and make it the principal meal of their day. Just what you will call this meal eaten near midday, or how much you should eat, depends on you. Persons whose work is largely mental and who get lit tle physical exercise, very often discover that a light meal is best at this time. But no rigid rule can be established. It is a mat ter for you, or you and your doctor, to decide. In former "talks of eating at the Central Ccfe" the regular printed menu card has been fairly well described; so wte need not waste time on it now.' But twice each day a mimeo graphed menu is wire-clipped to the regular card one about 11:30 a. m. for "Dinner" and one about 5:00 p. m. for "Sup per." This mimeographed menu in considerable measure is differ ent from meal to meal and from day to day. It contains usually about 70 items covering Soup, Fish, Entrees, Roasts, Cold Meats, Relishes, Salads, and Desserts. The soup listed in this mimeo graphed menu is of a different kind each day and the Central Cafe chef and his assistants pride themselves orj making it just a wee bit better and tastk'r than the canned soups so widely advertised. A bowl of this soup with crackers, 15 cents; but if taken with a meat order, 10 cents. SCHOLARSHIPS ARE OFFEREDGRADUATES (Continued from Pag On.) January.
