The resulta of the survey, announced Saturday, Indicate that the average annual expenditures of 165 faculty mem bers exceeded average annual, salaries by $163 for each member of the staff. Savings averaged $220 for each member reporting. The survey was Indicative of the situation fur ther, by showing that S8 per cent of the members found it necessary to resort to other means of Increasing their Income, aside from instructional duties. Of the 830 faculty members receiving the questional, 155 answered, for a report of 47 per cent of the faculty, distributed among the different teaching ranks and department. Salary Inadefltiaclea of members of the faculty have heretofore been largely a matter of rumor, opinion, and speculation. This survey brings out Into tangible form, the actual situation of an un derpaid professorial staff. In enables the critic to place a finger directly upon the salary problem, in stead of depending upon a limited few concrete casei and making generalizations from those few cases. The survey shows that insufficient salaries are not. characteristic of a small Circle of faculty members, but a general faculty-wide condition. a a a Sixty-four per cent of the 133 returning answers to the questional stated that they were prevented from doing graduate study on account of living costs. Summer teaching, night classes, book royal ties, and outside employment provided means of Increasing income to meet current expenditures. Underpaid faculty members have been tho 'sore spot' in the affairs of many universities and colleges. When average expenditures exceed average earnings for members of the University of Nebraska faculty, by $1(3 worth per year, it produces a sltuatoin which is deplorable and discouraging. Instructors, as well as any other class of people, have that In herent right to demand a fair profit for their servi ces. Certainly, In face of insufficient salaries, in structors are going to be on constant vigilance for opportunities which st least insure them a living wage. The desire to meet the requirements of their professoln, the necessity for diversion from currlc ular activities, the call to do valuable research, to write and contribute to their own field of study, mutt be satisfied. When financial worry casts a gloomy shadow over the activities of members of a college staff, that worry proves detrimental to the educational Institutoln. Instructors are inca pacitated. When they are forced to seek other em ployment to meet the necessities of a home, to meet those absolute expenses, their responsibility to the classroom and their Interest is depleted. a The recommendation of Governor Weaver in his budget message a few weeks ago calls for a ten percent Increase In manitenance for the University. If this provision becomes a reality, the sum received from the recommended Increase, minus the costs of the general expenses of the University, would become almost negligible when It Is proportioned to a large University staff. With the nearness of class elections sctivity of has-been politicians, hand shakers and baek patters, has become fairly common. DANGER AHCAD! Ileus Roll 1T, legislative measure which would prohibit freshman students from pledging sorori ties and fraternities st any state institution, was reported out to general file la the house of repre sentatives Friday, coming from the committee on education. In a hold-over session Saturday, the bill was referred baek to the committee for a few minor changes, with a proposal which would not make deferred pledging active until 1950. Sentiment In the committee on education prior to the release of the bill la the house Friday was not wholehearted ly In support of the deferred pledging proposal. Release of the bill from the committee on edu cation into the house of representatives places de ferred pledging within another step o becoming a law. If the house stamps Its approval on the meas ure when it comes up for dlscuswiou In a few days. will have almost reached the lu.lf- ay mark in the legislative grist mill see Defeat of the proposal to grant t!.s University the revenue reoelve from the 80 per eent Inheri tance law places the dormitory question a step far ther away from reality. The breach between deferred pledging: and obtaining adequate dormitory facili ties for ths freshman student coming to the Univer sity has heed wldtned rather than closed up. If the deferred pledging WU 'courses through the legislature to the statute Jsooks, mors than twelve hundred students, fresaajen i the University of Nebraska, will not have ategls choice as to the homing facilities whloh are offered to them. They will so compelled to take what Uncoln has to offer la ike way of rooms In private dwellings. They will be serrated from the University administrative of fices even more than they are at the present time- Adequate oratory facilities cannot be devel oped In a hIu nli- w-Hr. It will take one, two, tnrei years. Othiv unl erhlili have experienced the muue Idcn.io.l MliiiHtioii, und they have not create i (I jitnliories oveiuiKht. They have not taken away il . iitfht of eoroilUuH und fraternities to ptedgo freshman students before a dormitory system was provided for and actually established. If the fratornlly pledirlnR legislation Is designed to serve as a lever ou the dormitory proposals, It Is Indeed an uucerlaln and weak lever. What If dormitories are not provided for during the present session of the leglriliiture, while the, antl-fresbmon pledge bill has become a law? Affaire that are on the way to smooth running at tho present time would be dlsruptod. Almost four hundred more freshmen would be thrown out for exploitation by commercial room ing houses In Lincoln. No fair chance whatever Is ottered for fraternities to adjust themselves M the antl-freshman pledge bill If It slides through this session of the legislature. Ninety per cent of tho effectiveness of a law comes with the eiwo with which circumstance ran bo adjusted to meet tho rcqulrenien' of that law. With the dormitory question still hanging fire, and with the conceded opinion that dormitories and a dormitory system are not the product of a sin gle year, passage of a deferred pledging bill at the present time would be a plain case of 'getting the tart before the horse.' LEGISLATIVE HIGHLIGHTS BY BOB KELLY Faction leaders always consider the outstand ing men for the candidacies of offices. Eligibility rules count after the caucus. WELI Utterly disregarding the ruliug made by the In terfiaternlty council stating that all probational ac tivities should be confined to tho Inside of the fra ternity houses, several fraterntlles on tiie Nebras ka emphasized violation of that rule during the last two days. Others respected the council's action and work to eliminate the undesirable aspects of probation on the campus, and never once exhibited a pledge outside the house in the garb of a butler, coachman, or what have you. Now. what Is the council going to doT Will they sit back on their haunches and let such viola tions go by unnoticed? Will the council cower in the corner, and rermlt four or five fraternities to send freshmen on expeditions In search of mice and sparrows, parade the streets and exhibit themselves ni cuBtomary probation outfits and predicaments? If the council looks favorably upon the viola tions of the probation ruling, then they will have seen the biggest single piece of work that they have ever accomplished for the fraternity system at Ne braska, junked. The council will be accepting these exhibitions of disrespect, and utter disregard for the business which It transacts. If the complaints are registered with the committee of the council, and the members of that committee fail to act, then the council has automatically branded Itself an Ineffec tual and flimsy organization. OTHER STUDENTS SAY- BROTHERS ALL An editorial in the Nebraskan Friday titled ' Probation Is On" once again demonstrates the necessity of the probation period; once again un successfully. To show their metal and to prove that they will make "real fraternity men," that is the purpose; no, It is the excuse for this alleged per old of correction. The fact llmi fratcrnltlCE ruuet have period of concerted correction Is In itself an admission that they are unable to make men out of the neo phytes in a sane way. The fact that the probation period has been reduced is an admission that the method Is ineffective; for, If it were actually worth while, one week would be all the better. How can one Bhow his metal by submitting to the will of the wily brethren? Members of the fraternities assume the attitude that "this Is going to hurt us worse than it is going to hurt you." Even this is stretched a point when they try to convince the freshman that probation is actually going to make him a "real fraternity man" a phrase utterly meaningless. What method do the sororities use for making women out of their freshmen? Only a meagre rem nant of probation remains In a very few of the sororities. There Is no Intention here to say that what is good for one sex id good for another; but they demonstrate that women can be made good sorority members without browbeating. A university senior in a fraternity may have developed -ell In knowledge, but certainly he can not claim to know what Is lacking or what is over done In the ilmractr r of a fraternity freshman. All he knows Is what lie likes and what he dsilikes about the freshniaa. He will try to pound out what he dislikes. Why not admit that the probation period has but one real purpose? It Is easy to find reasons for probation, but the real purpose Is simply to amuse and to entertain the uppcrclassmen. Why not adroit that a fraternity Is good only for the society of Its members? Is that not enough in itself? It appears not, for fraternity members grasp out at straws, reach for time worn reasons or excuses, drag In platitudes when they argue for the right of existence of their organisations. P. B. ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW "THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH' It seems that the waning lutereat In pep meet ings here is not a local ailment. It Is a national epidemic. Observers all over the nation this year have noted the fact that organized cheering is losing force In universities. No longer do crowds of under graduates flock to pep meetings on days before big games. Instead they go about their other activities sod go to tho game when game time comes. Football, It seems, Is becoming a sport. It Is no longer a religious effort of entire student bodies. It Is the business of the two doien or so inea w bo are actively engaged In It. We cannot help but shed a tear as this phase )f college life spparently totters on its last legs. The organised effort of an entire school bent on one central objeet was inspiring. Organized yelling- la soma schools bad come to the place where special pep displays for the games were practiced that bigger crowds might bs drawn. A religion w-as commercialised. In other schools, pep came from a desire of upperclaasmen to show their authority over freshmen. Conse quently many upptrclassmen ceased to attend. As a sport football Is a splendid spectacle. There Is no reason It should not take Its correct place in school life. Oklahoma Daily "All work Bnd uo play makes Jack a dull boy." nd no the House played around In committee of the whole Friday afternoon. The ob lect nf their deiinlon and merri ment was a bill to curtail the crop ping or dogs ears. Alter navini had their lun the legislators ad vanced the bill with some amend' inents. .However It did not got through without some opposition. Tim hnrhera failed in their at tempt to Induce tho legislature to elevate their trade to the status of a profennlon by requiring bar bers to have two years conege eau.' ration. The bill, as Introduced, would compel barbers to get a nnrnili In nlv their trade. The leg' Islators decided that that would discriminate against the operators ot beauty snops. A prerequisite of a college edu cation, It ws argued, would raise the quality of coneratlon which the barber might carry on. "Ilarbers should be better in formed than they are on many top ics,' 'said Representative Chet Wynne of Omaha. "Their conver kriIoii when worknis on a custo mer IH Hiiiillhir I'llthcr dull. I want to improve the quality of tall; heard In barber shops." They must have their fun. . The house committee on medi cine looked unfavorably on a bill which would require doctor to make their drug prescriptions In plain English, without any cabalis tic symbols or Latin terms. Tho bill also provided that, the doctor would be compelled to give the pa tient a ropy of the prescription if it Is desired. The bill was probably Impracti cal. However it Indcates that ithe public is coming to the place where it will not be awed or misled by high sounding terms. It will not be surprising if some of the other professions will be required to come down to earth. A further step In the emancipa tion of w omen Is threatened in the bill, advanced to third reading in the Senate, to compel women to serve on Juries. An amendment ,was added before the bill was ad vanced which exempts housewives from Jury duty. A survey was taken., according to one senator, of 100 women in Lincoln to find out if they wanted the law which would fompel them to serve. They answered "no." But the senators must have reasoned: What Is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If woraeu are seeking equality they must take it in all things. A bill which would require school boards to publish the minutes of their meetings failed to find ap proval with the legislators. Some of them apparently smelled a rat In that the publishing of the min utes in the newspapers would con tribute some revenue to the eaid newspapers. T'-e .Senate is growing slightly Imp;; i lent waiting for Governor V:c-.:r to present to the legisla ting 'i bill for an audit and lnves-ti,-,;'iio.i of banking affairs. Espe cially is Senator Wherry of Taw nee, the introducer of the first res olution in the senate asklcg for this audit. The attitude of the leaders In the house seems to be that Immediate action on such a bill should not be taken. It now appears that the legislature will scarcely begin to solve the banking muddle by the end of the session. The house, thus far in the pro ceedings has shown a tendency to look at the bills pashed by the sen ate with a critical eye and then proeeed to stamp the sign of dis approval. On two of these bills, S. r. 36 and . F. 37, Durke, the floor leader of the majority asked that they be reconsidered. Ilia request was granted. a Happily the Nebraska legislators have not yet become as wrought over their grievance as the law makers of the slate of Tennessee. Two of the esteeemd gentlemen 'down In Dixie,' advanced toward each other with the obvious Inten tion of inflicting bodily harm.

"In the early nineties Charter day was observed by keeping open house in the various departments. The engineers, physicists, chemists anil nlhnri onirueeil in laboratory work prepared spectacular displays. Open House Held "This was the forerunner of En gineers, Pharmacy and Blzad weeks. II was a general open hnnuA whpn evervone who had any thing to display, took part. Such departments as that of Hebrew could not very well show their work, however. "I well remember the department of physics' display of wireless teleg raphy . '1 he sending nf a mcHg over a 6pace of eight reel was con sidered a wonderful thing by Pro fessor Brace." In rhonnnllnr MoT.aln'g time S general university lecture was held. Finally degrees began to be Issued, so visitors' day became the mid winter commencement. It was about aa distinctive an affair as the spring commencement. Prominent speakers were brought here, and under Chancellor McLalu It became a real university Dirtnaay pow wow. There were few opportuni ties for entertainment In those days, and local citizens canio out In great numbers. As, however, unarier uay cenie later than the close of the first se mester, it became the custom to grant the degrees earlier, ana cnar ter day was abandoned as a holi day. As a local celebration it fell Into disuse because of the institu tions having separate days, and (Vina hAfoma rilfferntla.ted and ceased to be a day of local InteresL "Charter day was a very rine thlriir In Ita Aav unit Ha revival bv Harold Holtz, the alumni secretary, is a really brilliant iaea, ana nas rescued Charter day from oblivion."
