News In an editorial republished today in the column, "Other Editors Say." Believing that unless the present student body understands the Institution and its situation, there Is little chance "of carrying the University's message to the state, either now or later. The Daily Ne braskan Is anxious Jo supply information regarding Ihe needs of the University. It believes that the at titude evidenced In the editorial in the Madison paper is due to misunderstanding, the removal of which is to the best Interests of the states citixenry as well as the University. The Madison News charges that it is not lack ... of money that has sent Nebraska's ablest educators - to other schools. Yet according to figures from the chancellor's 1. office, 53 of the 93 professors and instructors who have resigned during the last three years, did so to go to other colleges with advances in salary. It is not surprising when one contrasts the present salary scale here with those of the univer sities In neighboring states. The maximum salaiy for a full professor In the University of Nebraska ; is $5,000. Across the state lines, we find Kansas, Iowa, and Missouri with a maximum for the same ' position of 16,500. A difference of 11,500 annually in maximum pro fessorial salaries Is here indicated between Ne . braska and its nearest neighbors, universities in states facing similar financial problems to those of Nebraska. When It is remembered that these ; neighboring Institutions are not possessed of the material resources of state universities farther east and older endowed Institutions, it is not hard to ' understand why Nebraska's Instructional force has - been leaving. '. Regardless of w nether financial necessities have been the whole cause of professorial losses. It is " evident that Nebraska's, failure to meet the increaa- :--iM-it--B-rds of tb.er -fosttVutlmt - hM' - been a noticeable factor in such losses. There w as . no lack of sincerity in Chancellor Burnett's appeal for funds adequate to retain the institution's ablest teachers. It is this same lack of necessary funds to meet the Increasing enrollment at the University which accounts for the raise in student fees this year. The University's fees were increased with but one viewiv in mind. Under the present enrollment in creases, additional funds had to be secured. The only immediate relief was through student fees. It was the only way the University could retain its policy of keeping the Institution's doors open to as many qualified students of the state as possible. That the editorial was written under a miscon ception of some of the facts is indicated in the reference to an Increase In fees this year of 52.5 per cent. The increase, according to figures from the office of the university's finance secretary, was not 82.5 per cent, but 34 per cent. As for the' charges against Lincoln merchants and real estate men, they are hardly a case in point -V in a discussion of the financial needs of the Uni- ersity. There is a considerable student element that feels. Justly or unjustly, that Lincoln merchants are taking an unfair trade advantage of students in the University. This attitude was probably heightened last spring by the attitude of the governing com- " missioners of Lincoln in their oracular traffic changes and their refusal to cocsidor the matter from the standpoint of the best icterests of the Uni- ';. versity and its student population. A PRAIRIE LIGHT Word was recently received at the University of the unusual mark of distinction placed on th Prairia Schooner, literary' medium of the institution. A year ago, Edward O'Brien called attention to several selections from the Prsirie Schooner in his aathology of outstanding short literary efforts of the year. In his rating of the Prairie Schooner this year, he puts it in a cjass with three of the nation's outstanding literarjr mediums. Harper's, Bookman, and the Dial. The approval thu placed on the Prairie Schooner is most satisfying to N'ebraskans from sev eral standpoints. It is pleasing that the state has the talent to compare favorably along literary lines with more thickly populated sections It i pleasing to realise that the University has sponsored a ven ture which has proven of such worth. And it is pleasing to see it receive, not a measure of worth, but a. measure of perfection. , A WORD OF EXPLANATION. The Daily Nebraskan appeared yesterday for the first time in its new dress. A word of explanation might not be amiss. The new type faces appearing yesterday and today will continue to clothe The Ne braskan during the coming ear. For several years, The Dally Nebraskan has been printed in the university print shop b a special night force. This year The Nebraskan is being printed by the Lincoln State Journal, with the al ready evidenced changes in typography. With the exception of the change in body type and headlines started yesterday. The Daily Nebras kan will adhere with as much continuity as its pos sible under a new staff, to previous style standards of the paper. Sororities have all had their big "spike" parties.

The plan adopted by the University of Nebraska, that of providing each student with a certified photo- graph of himself and hi signature, might be worked out with good effect here. The identification cards planned by the officials of the Nebraska university are suggested as a means of preventing transients from posing as students and starting oharge ac counts, passing worthless checks, and receiving priv ileges to which only students are entitled. Some such plan as this would undoubtedly de crease the losses of many local dealers who sadly 'ace a pile of worthless checks each year. The tricks of the grafters are many and clever. Pseudo students, passing through the city, make it a point to look as prosperous as possible when they enter a clothing store, for example, to select a suit or even a whole outfit. For payment they give a worthless check then walk nonchalantly out of the store, and leave the city immediately. The clerk in the store may or may not suspect the "floater," but if he does, he has to choose between offending a real student and-accusing, perhaps without the desired effect, the pseudo-student. In most cases the-dealer says noth ing and takes the chance. The effect of these yearly losses by local dealers is undoubtedly important. A business man who loses money every year in this manner is obliged to make this up by charging slightly higher prices, and :hus his customers unconsciously pay for the loss in the ind. Hotels have this same trouble; and although it is hard to make a comparison between the losses suff ered by hotels and by the dealers of a city, it is acknowledged by hotel managers that these yearly losses are sufficient to compel them to raise their rates. Thus the patrons of hotels and the hotel man agen.ent suffer for the thefts of men and women who take furniture, towels, rugs, pictures, and any thing else which is not nailed down. The other phase of this problem is that of stu dents' rates. Certain advantageous rates are made :o students by athletic committees and various uni versity organizations. It is unfair that outsiders should find it possible to pose a students and thus obtain advantages to which they are not entitled. Difficulties would of course be encountered in in stalling a plan such as Is suggested for the Univer sity of Nebraska. There would be the cost of the photographs and more red tape to go through at registration or soon after, and there would be the necessity of the student's having to carry the iden tification card about with him always. In spite of these and other objections which might arise, it would be worthwhile to try a plan of this kind in Columbia for the purpose of guarding the rights of the students and decreasing the losses of dealers.

Blueprints for the stunts to- be carried out by the section are being drawn up by Carl Olson, chairman of the cheering section committee of the Innocents society which Is fostering the project. An effort will be made to produce effects com parable with those done by the cheering section of the University of Southern California, which is re puted to be the largest in the coun try. The Nebraska section will ac commodate 700 men. Because of a Big Six ruling against between halves stunts on the field, such entertainment will have to be abandoned at Nebraska. Stunts by the cheering section be tween halves will be offered as a suitable substitute for the former attractions. "FALL FROLIC" HEADS LIST OF SCHOOL PARTIES RUSHING SEASON This is the season of the year when the Greek luer societies at the University of Nebraska are initiating th first year students to the full meaning of the "rushing season." Teas, dinners, parlies and an extensive round of entertainment will keep these young people busy for most of the day. For the time being it is the most important busi ness of all for the young people. Years from now they will look back upon it and wonder why they became so deeply absorbed and so greatly interested. But as an experience in stepping from the high school into the University, it is an important matter at this time which cannot be dismissed. Every rushing season produces heariaches and disappointments. The young folks who are whirling through a giddy round of social pleasures should re member that it lasts for a short time that the choice of an organization is a serious matter and must have a distinct bearing upon t je four years which are to be spent in acquiring a degree. Those who now belong to the fraternities and sororities should likewise remember that a careless word, and action may mar college for some young man or some young woman.

AN INSINCERE APPEAL Chancellor Burnett is asking still more money for the state university money to pay salaries of mor4 able instructors, and to educate young Ne braska. Befo.-e asking, the Chancellor should have con cealed the contrary evidence. It is not lack of money that has sent Nebraska's ablest educators scurrying to other schools. Instead it is a haughty, corrupt administration, that' opposed much needed reforms which these men championed. Thinking Nebraskans might ask: "Is it the de sire to educate young Nebraska that made the uni versity increase its fees 82.6 per eent this year?" Poor boys and girls cannot afford "free" education any longer.
