THE APPROPRIATION BUGABOO
The "appropriation bugaboo" of the University
was brought to attention again yesterday m the Ivy
day oration. To call it thus is no mere rhetorical device.
It is. fundamentally, one of the most serious problems
For several years the University of Nebraska has
been merely existing. It has not had funds to permit
any 'of the developments so badly needed. The contrasts
in funds for other institutions with those for Nebraska,
presented in yesterday's address were illuminating.
,
In Other Columns j
pt tw can hardly convey the distressing situa
tion in which the University of Nebraska finds itself
today. It has not funds to hold its present instructional
force let alone build up in a substantial way among
the outstanding younger talent of America's educational
institutions.
The physical plant of the University has always
been inadequate. Today we find that it is not only in
adequate, but in deplorable condition even in its in
adequacy. The remains of University hall and Nebraska
hall can hardly be expected to reflect any of the educa
tional glory expected from a major state university.
Other buildings are in a state of dilapidation approach
ing those which have already been partially razed.
It was indeed fitting that the attention of the
student body be drawn to this vital necessity of the
University at this time. In but little over a week, the
student body will return to the state where its voice,
if forcefully uttered cannot help but be heard, by those
who will determine the appropriation policy for the
University at the next meeting of the state legislature.
LAW BARBECUE
The annual Law Barbecue, which will be held at'
the Lincoln Auto Club park beginning this noon and
continuing throughout the afternoon, is another feature j
of the Alumni Round-Up program which has stirred up
considerable interest. Many lawyers, alumni f the
university, together with the present student body and
faculty of the College of Law, are expected to attend.
Starting in the spring of 1911, the Law Barbecue
has become one of the traditions of the University.
It was the outgrowth of the annual picnic which was
started during Dr. Roscoe Pound's deanship here. No
program is ever given but there are usually several
contests between two opposing sides selected at the
time.
It is gratifying to note that an organization of
this type is maintained from year to year. To be sure,
it brings many of the alumni who are prominent jurists
and lawyers back to their alma mater, thus aiding in
a measure to revive the old interest.
"FAREWELL BALL"
WHAT PRICE
At least one high school coach in the state recog
nizes the necessity of perfect condition for his athletes.
Coach George W. Scott who has won two national
track championships for Fort Collins high school has
handed in his resignation to take effect when the new
ruling at the school to allow supervised dancing goes
in force.
Coach Scott's action is just another example oi
the increasing importance of activities in the high school
as well as the university. What is true for the athlete
is also true of the person who engages in any activity
of the institution which he attends. Whether a person
engages in debating, dramatics, or work on some pub
lication, he gradually finds that in spite of himself he
is forced to undergo the sad experience of giving up
pleasurable pursuits 'for the sake of his so-called ac
tivity. The life at any institution is divided into three
rather general classes: social, academic, and work on
extra-curricular activities. It is self-evident that in very
few places do the social activities suffer greatly, so
that the struggle is ultimately between activities and
studies.
When the student reaches his junior or senior
year both of these will take up a great deal of time
so that the student will be forced to make a final def
inite conclusion. Which the student will choose depends
largely on the individual. Those who thirst for a cer
tain amount of glamor will inevitably choose the ac
tivity. Others, whose ambitions are centered on the
symbolism of a Phi Beta Kappa key, will forsake the
more pleasurable activity for study. !
The condition, however, is unsatisfactory both to
the neglected activity and to vhe equally forgotten
books. Why is it not possible for a freshman entering
college to decide which of the two he values the more,
and make his choice at that time before he becomes
too involved to do freely what he thinks best. The Sil

LEISURE
In his "Theory of the Leisure Class," Professor
Bleblen has shown how the traditions of a leisure class
may influence the minds and tastes of a people. Ac
cording to this hypothesis, the manner in which a nation
employs its leisure time should furnish a fairly reliable
index of its attitude towards its work. And it is un
doubtedly true that even an individual's work may be
gauged by his play habits.
Here in America we pursue what leisure we have
with frightful vehemence. The rapidly grinding wheels
of our high-geared industrial organization seems to
carry their influence over into every phase of our life.
The golf and bridge of many business men are duties,
forced pleasures through which they seek a routine re
laxation. Enterprising Souk publishers amass consider
able wealth by advertising condensed store-houses of
knowledge which will turn our leisure time to good
account by making us wits, poets, cartoonists, or master
linguists almost over night. Time is not given a chance
to hang heavy on American hands.
The fondest memories of most people center
around carefree hours spent in meandering, whimsical
conversation or moments of solitude before the glowing
embers of an open fireplace. Yet this type of idleness
seems to be fast becoming a sin. Surely it is a pity
to lose the faculty of being idle for its own sake, to
make a business of pleasure and budget our recreation,
for leisure which lacks the fine flavor of spontaneity is
not true leisure. Minnesota Daily.

Ceremony Follow Sing
The May Queen ceremonies started
immediately after the Interfraternity
sing. The beauty and splendor of.
the University May festivities were
augmented by the enthusiasm of
-op who witnessed the coronation
cf the 1928 May Queen. It is re
ported that approximately five thous
and persons were gathered on the
city campus to see the coronation
cereaiony.
The procession started with two
pages, Nyle Spieler and Louise Bize.
who entered the cleared area from
an entrance provided on the east
tide. The pages walked slowly to
ward the throne, and took their posi
tions at each side of the steps leading
to the place of honor. '
Following the pages were the
frealiinan attendants, Betty Stein
berg and ..harlotte Joyce. They were
dressed elaborately and marched
(slowly, keeping time to' the Ivy day
march, played by the university band.
Next came the sophomore attendants,

catch a view of the coronation.
Preceded by two pages. Bay Ean

sity, and the ways in which they
could help to make it more efficient.
The text of Mr. Hunt's 1928 Ivy
day oration follows:
NEBRASKA'S MOST IMPORTANT
INVESTMENT
The privilege of addressing you today it
accepted as no small responsibility. My pur
pose is to discuss some subject in which, as
students and graduates of this University,
we are all vitally interested. Not only is
this topic of interest to university people,
but it is worthy, I believe, of the moat ear
nest thought and calm deliberation of every
citiren of our srreat commonwealth.
Much has been said about university in
come from the tax-payer's point of view and
much has been said about the over-worked
instructors but as yet little has been said
from the standpoint of the student. The stu
dents have been mentioned only incidentally
or as a necessary evil because of their num
bers or their so-called lack of application.
It is my desire to appraise the status of
the student under conditions existing: at
the University of Nebraska at the present
time.
Large Enrollment
The fact that 6.124 students were en
rolled in the resrular session for collece
work last year and that the total number
in all classes deriving instruction during
the same year in all sessions numbered
11.P48 signifies the rreat importance of the
subject. The import is mstrnified when con
sideration is sriven to the idea that those
receiving: instruction are expected, when
graduated to assume the responsibility of
leadership and professional life in their
chosen communities. That the communities
of the state of Nebraska are lara-ly de
pendent upon the a-raduates of her own
schools, especially of her professional col
leges, is shown by the fact that OS1 of
all dental graduates from the University
of Nebraska are practicing in this state.
The value of educational instruction is
not to be detected altogether in the grades
received, but rather in the character forces
directing the use of the knowledge acquired.
A brilliant student, judged by the grade
.tandard, who misdirects his efforts after
graduation is a disgrace to his alma mater
and ia dsngerous to the social order of his
community in direct ratio to the energy with
which he pursues his objectives. The char
acter building aspect of educational instruc
tion must not be overlooked. This is es
pecially true when we are told that the
average age of the student at the univer
sity is approximately 1.S years.
Instructors Moat Important
How easy it is for us, when we hear
someone speak of the University, to vis
ualize tlw Stadium. Coliseum, and the cam
pus in general. The physical proportions of
the University loom up in our mind, but
the real University is the instructional staff.
The physical units are only tools in the
hands of this staff. More important by far
the proportions of the structures of
character they are erecting in the student
body. These character structures will be
vjsiHle to the world in the lives of the
graduates for many, many years. In class
room and in personal contact our instructors
try to give of themselves the best they
have to give. The truly great teacher is one
who can give his life to his students. Then
it follows that our instructors rhould be
selected with srreat care. They should be
men and women of great character, intel
lect, and ahility to teach, and the circum
stances of their endeavor should enable them
to live each year more richly than the last.
Instructors Are Humaa
Unfortunately the men and women in
structors at the University of Nebraska are
just as human as any of us. They are am
bitious, enjoy the comforts of modem life,
contribute largely to community work, and
strive to store up a competence for when-1
ever it is needed. What else should we
expect of them, you query T We should, in
sense, expert nothing else, to be sure.
but it is unfortunate when they, as em
ployees of the people of Nebraska have so
little to look forward to in either financial
recognition or in praise and respect. We
could easily be much more appreciative, and,
in being so. honor ourselves. It is a splen
did thing to praise worthy efforts, and the
inspiration to the instructors is great. How
small we are when we are beggarly with
our praise.
Situation la EaDoarraasiag
In viewing the matter of financial re
cognition for the most worthy efforts of
our faculty, the situation is not only em
barrassing but serious. Some faculty mem
ber starts a series of experiments only to
find that a little more money is needed for
equipment, labor, or what not. The money
is sought but it has happened in no few
cases that it is not to be had. The work
being worth-while, some other institution
offers the reeded funds and the ambitious
and energetic instructor resigns. This ia not
the way to build a strong faculty, but at
present it seems to be the Nebraska faculty
leadership in recent years becaase of lack
of funds, and knows that student fees were
raised to inrrease income to avert more
resignations. The student, is therefore aware
that the proper leadership can be secured
only if it can be paid for and that the
greatest problem is to secure the needed
funds.
Mast Increase Income
The funds for the University are derived
from three sources: namely, from state
taxes, federal sources, and from depart
mental receipts and student fees. The sec
ond source is not likely to be increased but
the first and last can be when sufficient
people believe it necessary. Student fees
cau be increased, and if this source of funds
would allow the serious student more time
and ;onisct with the instructor there is
little doubt that it would gladly be paid.
However, as the University grows, to in
crease student fees, which aecsun tfor only
slightly less than of the total university
income, will scarcely take care of the nor
mal inrrease in instructional expense. There
fore, it will be only maintaining the present
status of teaching burdan which is much
too heavy to allow for any great amount of
time for personal contact with instructors.
Teaching Burden Increases
The teaching burden at the University, to
be exact, has increased I in the last
ten years. At the present time there are
14 classes, each with an enrollment of over
60, and with an enrollment of over 1(10.
Such classes are difficult at times to dis
cipline, hard to interest, and neariy impos
sibla to instruct effectually, particularly if
they are freshman classes, as most of them
are. This is must serious as the freshman
student. In most eases, needs the closest
contact with the instructor.
The freshman is only slightly over IS
years of age, living in a new environment,
easily discouraged and perhaps not know
ing exactly what he or she wants to do.
This is the important time for close, inter
ested instructional effort. The hopes of fond
parents and the dreams of youth are here
all too easily lost sight of in the press of
affairs, and the sad story is that of
au cases of delinquencies are among fresh
men, industry is 6oing all it can to find a
place for every man. should not educational
institutions snake it their first considera
tion to find an interest for every freshman.
Need Man Instructors m
This calls for snore instructors, closer aa
pervision of the student body, perhaps an
der the guidance of deaa of student affairs
and the deaa of women: a more nearly per
sonal effort to see that all goes well. But
what a task. The total enrollment at the
University is larger than the population of
any city 1 i this state with the exoeptioa
of five. This rrt of educational service
for tb is what it is to the home from
which the student comes, is invaluable yet
costly. We must have funds.
Fortunately. Mr. C. A. gorenson has pre-'
seated to the Chancellor, the Honorable
E. A. Burnett, a plan whereby h appears'
that a new source of ' :.4s is to be had '

of the present federal estate tax rates and
that the proceeds from this tax shall con
stitute an endowment fund for the Univer
sity and common schools of the state. At
the present time our state inheritance tax is
very low and the amount of money to be
derived from the plan ia very large. Other
states have taken advantage of the provis
ion. Why not Nebraska? We must ask our
next state legislature to save this money
for Nebraska and her schools.
The Sorenson proposal, if enacted into
law, will unfortunately fail to provide for
the immediate and urgent need for funds.
First, the money must be accumulated and
then only the earnings will be available for
use. In ten of fifteen years the income
available should be of some importance but
until that time the aource of funds for the
growth and support of tha University must
come from state taxation.
Legislation Meets Defeat
The student body is aware that the ef
forts to have the recent legislature enact a
ten year expansion program met with de
feat. It is also aware that the university ap
propriations have been determined more on
tbe basis of just what the institution could
"get by on, rather than upon the consider
ation of tbe facts having to do with cred
itable necessity. I do not mean in any way
to belittle the serious financial condition of
the taxpayers in recent years, nor to decry
reasonable economy and prudent adminis
tration of state funds, but sooner or later
the actual necessity of the University must
be recognised and provided for.
I appreciate all too well that to ask the
next legislature to increase the appropria
tions for both salaries and maintenance, and
for buildings for the University, may meet
with opposition, but. with the continued
growth of our great institution and a limit
to the practice of economy having been
reached, this increase must be urgently re
quested. Just and due consideration must
compel the people of the state of Nebraska
to request more liberal treatment from en
suing legislatures.
Must Face Facts
Let us face the facts pertaining specifi
cally to salaries and maintenance for the
year 1926-27. The Kansas Agricultural col
lege and Kansas University, having a com
bined attendance of 7.000 received 12.612,000
while Nebraska, with 6.300 atudents re
ceived at the hands of her legislature
fl. 750, 000. In other words Kansas spent
1S7! per student to 1277 for each student
at Nebraska, or almost S100 more per
student. Iowa State at Ames spent 2.290..
000 to our fI.7S0.OO0 and had little more
than one half as many students enrolled.
Ames spent S602 per student to our 1277
per student for instructional salaries and
maintenance one good reason perhaps why
we hear Ames spoken of as the best agri
cultural college in tbe world. The Iowa
State college and Iowa State university com
bined spend tS to our $2, taking attend
ance into consideration. This is exactly
S0 more per student than is spent at
Nebraska. To get a little farther from home,
we find that the amount per student ex
pended at the Universities of Minnesota,
Wisconsin, and Illinois taken collectively is
only slightly less than the amount apent
per student at the two Iowa universities
It would, therefore, appear that Nebraska is
ssdly out of line on salary and maintenance
expenditures. How long can Nebraska retain
her rank and standing among the great uni
versities and spend two-thirds aa much as
other similar institutions for aalariea and
maintenance, attendance taken into consid
eration T

Importance of Training
Who are the university trained men and
women and what do they mean to you in
your community T They are the teachers of
your children, the legal advisors to vou
and your civic and business affairs, "the
supervisors of the health of your commun
ity, the directors of your growing business
enterprises, the editors of your newspapers
and the operators of your farms and allied'
interests. They are in no small measure the
directors of the thought, action, and ad
vancement of your community. If you will
but aee the importance of the university
trained man and woman to your community
and to yourself, then you will be actively
interested in the welfare of your State
University.
The standpoint of the student is that we
should take advantage of every means of
fered to acquire a technical and thoroughly
practical education for the time and money
spent, and that tha means offered to acquire
this education should be the best the atate
can offer for the time and money the stu
dent spends. This attitude toward higher
education cannot help benefitting everyone
and the dividends to be declared will be
those of capable service, intelligent lead-ei-ship,
and richer community life. As her
many communities are, ao must the state
be.
Hay the lamp of her learning illumine
the way to wisdom and the luster of her
ideals be reflected in the lives of her child
