Juat aboot tho tlmo tho University gets to breath
tng ey enr tho beet appropriation in tho all yeare,
along oome Oorernor Weaver with tho veto axe and
whack oft a $14600 dollar chunk of the appropria
tion that ha been recommended by the legislature.
The governor disapproval extends only to the In
creased general maintenance for the University, ex
cept the 140,000 that waa recommended for medical
equipment for tho College of Medicine.
In explaining tho reason for chopping away at the
recommendation of the leglalature as they affect
the Univeralty, the governor belierea the action
Justified In view of the fact that the original budget
Increased tho Univeralty general maintenance 1362,
BOO, and that legislature ha recommended an ad
ditional Item of $315,000 as the Univeralty' Initial
Investment for the Joint heating plant.
Tho recommended ten percent In the general maln
fenanoo for the University haa been shown to be in
adequate, and tha slashing of the recommendations
of tha legislature In the general maintenance fnnd,
tomes as a cruel stroke. It hits the University Just
where a blow could be tho most painful, and the
moat detrimental to tha weirare ofthe University. It
means that tha salary Increase that were contem
plated will have to be pared down to a minimum
amount. It mean that the funds will btve to be
apread out over so many things, a little here and a
little there, that Increases will hardly be perceptible.
It la a situation comparable to waving a big stick of
candy la front of a hungry kid, and then giving him
a small bit of the sweet, expecting him to be con
tent. Tho fact that the legislature baa added an addi
tional Item of 1815,000 for the Joint capltol university
heating plant ehould not be taken as a ponit in Justi
fication for knifing the budget $145,600 worth, and
especially cutting away at the general maintenance
fund. The Joint heating plant ia as much a state plant
as It la a univeralty plant It is a compromise be
tween erecting two separate plants, one for the state
house and on for the University of Nebraska. There
is no reaaoa that the general maintenance fund
should com in for the cut In the budget, because a
beating plant haa been provided for. Also, there la
the point that the University building plans have not
been encouraged by the appropriations, beyond the
assurance that a dormitory arstem can be started.
Tho candy-starved kid will have to go hungry un
til another session of tho legislature, getting along
with a smaller bit.

OTHER STUDENTS SAY
VARSITY PARTIES
The faculty committee on student oreanliallons
baa asked the question if students on the campus
desire Varsity Parties. Thla action followe aa a reeult
of Indifferent atudent support of the all-achool rar
ilea. And it must be admitted. Th half-hearted at
tendance of th student body at these affaire would
lead persons to be conclusion that Varsity Parties
were a matter of little concern. Th atudent body,
however, is not tired of Varsity Parties. It Is tired
of dlggi" up an extra dollar for a modiocr party
when it has bids to go lo Oreek lartles, without
shouldering any additional expense.
Pespit frequent Insinuations to the contrary, the
college man la not a a rule flushed with dollar. It
Is only natural that he should prefer the cheaper
form of entertainment to the more expensive form,
whon both are available at the same time. With
Varsity Partiea in their present statue, it is not un
reasonable that they ahould lack support.
But tho fact remains that Varsity Partiea are bene
ficial and desirable. They offer the only social op
portunity for Greeks and Barbs to meet on an equal
footing. They are practically the only mean for an
all -whool "get together." And, If properly patronized,
they ar surely as capable of offering a good time to
student as are Oreek parties.
Something should be done to gave Varsity Parties
from being thrown upon the acrap heap. Perhaps
the Importation of an outside orchestra would stim
ulate interest. If tiie present faculty ruling in regard
to thla matter could be altered, it is entirely possible
that Varsity Parties would offer a sufficient attrao
tlon to be worth the extra dollar demanded as the
pric for supporting these gatherings.

INTRUSION
One of the major duties of the Senior class presi
dent elected tho second semester of the school year
Is to select official announcements and invitations
that will neatly and lmpresselvely the graduation of
the Senior class. This selection is made with the aid
of a representative committee of the class.
As in the past, this plan was carried out again this
year. Th committee met, officially aelectlng the
graduation announcements for the class of 1929,
which are now on display at the College Book Store.
But a business house located near the campus de
cided not to handle the official senior invitation. In
atead, thla firm waited until all the preliminaries
by the committee had been completed, then ordered
the oroductlon of a stock of Invitations under the
guise of the official announcement and offered them
for salfc. Going farther, they placed their order with
an engraver outside completely Ignorant of the
circumstances after all Lincoln engravers had re
fused this unethical firm's contract.
Would University officials stand by and allow a
local dealer to sell a year book disguised as the
Cornhuaker of 1S29? Will either atudenta or univer
sity officials stand for a practice based upon the
very aame principle? Will they? J.

Tb publishing house of Double

College Humor, announcea a $3,000
college novel contest which will
close October 15. Any undergradu
ate or graduate of not more than
on year la eligible. The length la
from 75,000 to 100.000 worda, and
the prlae Is awarded to th beat
novel of college life, or of college
people in other environment. It
may be a personal story or a novel
of the younger feneration aa the
author really sees It. The winning
novel will be published serially In
College Humor and 1n book form,
royalties being paid the author in
addition, and motion picture and
dramatic rlghta remaining with the
author also.
Ah. there's th chance for some
Impecunious undergraduate t o
make a fortune! But the novela
will probably turn out to be a series
of "true" confessions. The authora
will dope them aa usual, and twist
th characters grotesquely. Percy
Marka made his mark with "The
Plastic Age." atartlng the grand
rush. Bul It was exaggerated and
I have little hope that any novel
will ever give us a true picture of
college life and college people.
Eugene Wright's "The Great
Horn Spoon" Is said to be a paral
lel to Richard Halliburton's "Royal
Road to Romance," and "Glorious
Adventure." Both were college stu
dents who tired of school and aet
out to find adventure by hook or by
crook. They both worked their
way into the corners of the world,
did strange things, and came back
to write about them. But always
when I've read Halliburton's yarns,
they smack of exaggeration and
possible untruth. At any rate, they
are gloriously egotistical. Wright's
story of his adventures In Borneo
and other Islands seems much more
reserved and truthful. There have
been frequent charges that Halli
burton has "spread" his stuff, and
he doesn't refute the charges, but
we have heard nothing of the kind
concerning Wright.

SCORE TIED
Some down and more to go. The score is now tied
with professors and students evenly matched, al
though dope based on previous year gives the edge
to the atudenta.
Judging from the sUtiaiks of former season i.
will take concentrated effort, tedious hours of drill,
and perfect team-work at quis time for the students
to be able to stage a rally In the closing weeka of
play sufficient to overcome the lead of flunks Ihe
professors have piled up. Many student a In the past
have won fame by their brilliant tackling and line
plunging;, only to be dow-ned in the shadow of the
commencement posts by aom Interfering professor.
