Legislative wheels hate coma to a standstill.
Senators and. repreeentatlree attending the forty
fifth eessloa ot tha Nebraska atata leglslsture ara
a thalr way back to tha rarioui constituencies,
anxious to get started on these duties that have
bNi neglected while Una were la the making.
The Ualvsrtlty of Nebraaka baa been the sub
ject matter of much of tha legislation that baa come
before the aolona durtnt the last aession. Appro
jriatloaa. the problem that the legislature haa to
meet every session and the source of Irritation In
many Instances, have been eatlsfactory to tha Vol
wtnlty of Nebraska thla year. While falling abort
f the smovwt thst retieed by tha rArd of
Regents at the beginning of the aession, the im
approprlatioa for the Vnlreralty la tha best that
haa come Im all yeara. It baa been large enough
to permit tha University to relas. and breathe eaeler.
and feel that eonie perceptible cbangea can be made
In the aalary acale of the university ataff.
Chancellor Burnett haa Indicated that the In
creaaed appropriation over other yeara would allow'
rerlelone Is tha aalariea that ara being paid faculty
members at tha preeent time. Thla la encouraging
for the afudenu of the University aa well aa the
faculty membera. It meana relief for the taxpayera
of the state who have witnessed the reslgnatlona of
prominent faculty men In the last few years because
or tba better offers from Institutions that could
more than match dollars w ith Nebraska.
People in Nebraska ara coming to rejillra the
Importance of maintaining a university of high
standing U tha country. It la an expensive Invest
ment, true, hut there la none other that the atate
could maka that would pay hlghn dividends. It's
very ftna that Nebraska can have a magnificent
capltol building. It la commendable tht the atate
can hay a meah of bard-aurfaced roads. It Is neces
sary that the atata hava a system of state innti
tutiona that ara adequate and well-handled. But
these amount to little when thoueands of young men
and women from Nebraska homes are clamoring
for something more than a high school education.
The Ualrerslty of Nebraska cannot exist without
constant attention and financial aid from the tsi
payers of tha at&ee.
Tha assurance that the salary scale of the fac
ulty of the University will be changed for the better
la not the sole benefit that haa come from the just
finished seaslon of the legislature. A new heating
plant, fnpplylng the University and the new atate
capltol building Jointly, Is In the offing. Dormitories,
the thing that the University has needed for many
years, are at last provided for. While a complete
dormitory system cannot be dereloped In one stroke,
the legislature has made it possible for operations
to start soon.
Another phase of the part that the University
played In the past session of the legislature had to
do with the Investigation for Influence of the power
trust In the affairs of the University. The Investi
gating committee gave the University a clean bill,
after ome weeks of probing and weighing testi
mony. Troposed legislation to establish secondyear
pledging in the fraternities of the Nebraska campus
went Into the wastebasket after the housing situa
tion of the University students was explained, and
after the hint that the fraternities would themselves
do away with freshman pledging In the near future.
A aession or the state legislature always works
for a better understanding between state and university.
R. O. T. C. students alwaya become lntereated
in the weather forecast about the time a parade
is scheduled.
INTEGRITY OR VENTRILOQUISM?
University of Nebraska students take their poli
tics seriously and their candidates for granted. Out
at tha University of Washington, the atudenta make
the candldatea the chief interest and polltlca trail
along In the wake. At tha Pacific university each
spring before tha election of prominent students to
Important offlcea on the campua, campus clubs and
the university newspaper propound a set of Ques
tions for the candidates to answer before the elec
tion day.
Questiona center about the afairs of the uni
versity, about the dutiea of the rarioua unlvareity
officials, and probe the candidates concerning their
knowledge of the offices for which they are running.
The candidates hae an opportunity to answer, and
the otera have a chance to get the riewa of the
candidates before they mark tha ballots. Men and
women who wish to aee their namos printed on the
ballot must nave tha courage to submit to tha grill
ing of campua cl uba, and must familiarise tham
salrea with tha problema of tha vnlTwrsIt? before
they can aver aspect to ba elected to office.

roadway, despite Ita roughneaa and bump per-equere-
Inch surface. Is tha connecting link between Ma
mortal mall and tha general campus center around
Social Sdenree, and la used by hundreds of stu
dents dally.
The crosilnga of this street and nearby drive
way entrances to it are filled with gummy, aloppy
clay or ooie. The street Itself requires no descrip
tion. In dry weather It has any "roily coaster beat
for jarring drops, any ocean yacht for sickening
rolls snd any village main street for sheer rough
ness. When it rains the holes fill with muddy water
which camouflages passing autos that plunge, wal
low and splash therein.
A abort time ago the operating superintendent
of the University declared something would be done
to the road "this summer,' but atated that little
could be accomplished before then. More than five
weeks of school remain. That la mora than a month
that the aiuiirms win have to tolerate thla situation.
Mid winter r-everal loada of clndera from the
university beating plant were placed on tha road.
That improved it greatly. The clndera, however,
wore off with time and the condition today la worse
then ever. Because the Board of Regents contem
platea eventually ahutiing off this stretch of road
It ia not reaalble to pave It, However, there still
remains the ususl huge pile of cinders In back of
the heating plant, which. If thread on the road,
would improve it and at least maka it endurable.
There is no reason why temporary crossings
cannot be fixed so coed footwear and masculine
oxfords and trouser legs will not receive a generous
decoration of mud. If labor Is scarce around the
University It certainly would be better to have three
men smoothing the Twelfth street road and repair
ing sidewalks thsn digging dandelions behind Ad
ministration building.
Nebraska has an election In a few weeks.
Professors are getting ambitious. One carried a
reference book to clasa the other day.
Now that the blaaders are having a day to play
rolf, maybe the students in the other colleges ought
to take a day off to romp around and play rlng-around-t
lie-rosy.
Caretakers of the campus are growing grass on
the bsi-e patches behind Administration building ao
when Ivy day comes the new Innocents will not get
such a jolt whon they are tapped.
"Talk things over with yourself," suggested a
speaker on another campus not so long ago. How
ever, exceptions are made during exama.
OTHER STUDENTS SAY-
To the Editor: ,
An editorial in The Dally Nebraskan for Thurs
dsy explained that the taffy-feeding student ia no
ticeable and despicable to the rest of the students
in the clsss. But It neglected to show how this
same taffy-feeding student is a handicap to his
fellow students.
This handicap works In two ways, both on the
professor and the other students. The professor,
suffering from indigestion from the amount of taffy
that he has been forced to swallow, is In a mood to
question the sincerity of any student that comes
to Lid office. This doubt is natural, when one con
siders tha cleverness of some of the taffy-feeders.
The reaction of the student who has a sincere
problem to discuss with his professor is one of hesi
tation. He hesitates to enter the office for fear of
being accused of carrying concealed taffy. So he
will often pass up an opportunity for advice from
his professor because of the actions of others.

Trealdent Hoover made a very
significant address on law enforce
ment last Monday, in New York,
speaking at the annual luncheon of
the Assorlsted Press. The presi
dent pointed to the large amount of
law-breaking In this country, as
compared with tbe low crlralnalty
records of Great Britain. This sit
uation, he declared, demands the
recognition and cooperation of
every cltlsen In the United States :
He asaerted, further, that It Is a I
popular illusion to say thst most
crime Is due to the eighteenth
amendment, citing America's rec
ord In such crimes as theft, embct
tlemcnt. forgery, burglary, and rob
bery. He appeitled to the people
of the country to obey the law. "If
a law la wrone. Its rigid enforce
ment is the surest guarantee of Its
repeal. If It i. right. Its enforce
ment Is the quickest method of
compelling renpf-rt for It."

baa thus resorted to its old policy
of choosing a district leader as

leader for years. Tammany had
been getting rather ambitious late

of Judge Olvany as chief a few

"A Participant in Sports," admitting that the
Barbs have a right to participate in intramural
sports, remarka that they should not, aa this will
widen the breach between Bsrba and Greeks.
We have a faint remembrance of the fellow who

diminish the tranquility of the home.

ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW
MOTHERS' DAY
Many fraternities on the campus ara busy pre
paring to receive tbe mothers of their members
next month on Mothers' Day. Mothera' cluha on
the campus have come to servo a useful and ef
fective part in the life of fraternities and sororities.
But such organizations are usually composed of
mothers of men who live In town.
Tor tha mother who Uvea In another town, city,
or Tillage, Mothers' Day ia a rare opportunity to
beeome better acquainted with the moaning of a
fraternity.
Many mothers have rague and often unreal
ideaa of fraternity organisation and are hesitant
about asking their sons what It is all about. For
the eon, too. Mothers' Day Is a fine chance to "sell"
a mother on the fraternity idea.
