Wbtnrtr tbe Cnlverelty of Nebraska come In
for crltleiem, whenever It cornea la Tor farormblt

manner, tba brunt of that erltlclein or comment falla
upon a tingle pair of abouldere. Large, activities

must have a tingle man bear the burden of repre

tbe CnlTeratry now Is Chancellor E. A. Burnett.
Elected to the chancellorship for an Indefinite term
of offlee la fell, the Board of Ragenta gave notice
that tbelr aearch for a chancellor had been called off
with the election of Dr. Burnett. The tucceetor to
Chancellor Avery baa been found, probably a disap
pointment to a few indlrlduala but a aource of grat
ification for maay.
As chief executlTe officer of the university,
duties ara many and unfamiliar to the student try
ing to understand Just "what a chancellor has to do."
Tba Toluma of a business passing through the of
fice of a university president must be tremendous.
Calls for adrlca and direction, eipressions of com
plaint, must become every-day events. Fingers
must be on every breach cf the University at all
times. tentltive to any abnormal How of blood
through any tingle part of the university system.
The stndent muses.
The Chancellor shall be the chief eiecutive
officer of the University, exercising such eiecutive
powers aa ara Beceaeary to the proper government
of the University and the protection and advance
ment of Ita interests, whatever their nature," reads
the bylawa and rules of the Board of Regent
Nothing could be more encompassing in defining the
duties of an executive officer. The scope of the
Chancellor dudes, therefore. Is Indicated by the
whatever the nature" clause.
Stodenta know little of the exact details or ihe
ChsBcellofa work. They do Vnow and understand
bis function aa the representative of the University
to the atate of Nebraska and to the people who sup
port the University. They do know that there It
more connected to the Job than simply attending to
the routine ma'tere of the position. It is this pbae
of Chancellor Barnetfa administration during the
j ear that deserves attention.
People must have faith and confidence in a
chancellor before the university can be understood
and supported wholeheartedly. It is this faith and
confidence of the people of the stale that Chancel
lor Burnett baa captured. Stepping up to the chan
cellorship from the deanship of the College of Agri
culture, be bas brought to the University a closer
connection between agricultural Nebraska, and agri
cultural It Is, and the atate educational system. The
building of a state university and the future derelop
ment of the University Is dependent upon the corn,
i be wheat, and the livestock of Nebraska.
Inviting the inveatigation of the state senate in
vestigating committee for evidences of power trust
influence In the University, fighting for a larger ap
propriation for which to increase the salary scale of
the University profeaaorial ataff. for a dormitory
eyetem .and for a Joint beating plant these have
been aspects of the leadership that has fallen to
Chancellor Burnett By virtue of the fine manner
In which the University has been represented be
fore the dtitens of the atate by the Chancellor, bet
ter understanding of University problems bas re
sulted. Students have seen this conduct, and appreci
ated Ita significance. Contact with the Chancellor
on the part of the Individual atudent Is Infrequent;
often there Is no contact whatever. Six thousand
students cannot know their Chancellor as they know
a classmate but tbey can know him as a friend.
Recommendations for Jobs and excuses from
R. O. T. C. paradea seem to 6e the chief worries of
students nowadays.
RUMBLING ALONG
On the thirteenth day of November, 1828, the
City Council passed a reaoluUon that reads:
"That portion of R street lying between the east
line of Tenth atreet and the west line of Sixteenth
atreet be. and the aame, la hereby reserved for the
use of paaaenger vehicles only and all other vehicles
are hereby prohibited from using the said street."
Since the passage of this resolution, and espe
cially during this spring, observation shows that
there are a great number of heavy trucks and com
mercial TShlclea using the street regularly In spite
of the ordinance forbidding them to do ao. Signs
placed at each Intersection are intended to warn all
tracks te stay off are completely lguored.

but alao In Ihe general health of college women. In
1121 the proportion or girls wearing proper shoes
was IT per cent higher thsn In 1927. while 127
showed a gain of 14 per cent over the previous year.
Thit leads Pr. W. A. Kans. health specialist of Hi
Tribune, to recommend a almllar type of program to
other universities and colleges attended by fad ad
dicted coed a.
He points out that the American female foot is
little If any better than her much pitied Chinese
sister's. Tbe Chinese girl spends childhood with her
feet bandaged and bound so they will retain their
grace and demute refinement. The American girl
rompa and plays through grade school, but on be
coming aare that smsll. pinched, pointed toet are
the fashion, selects her root ear according to thit
agonising style.
Tbe disgusting and shocking result of the study
at Iowa State two and a half years ago was thst out
of 1ST senor girls, only three had normal feet. Seventy-eight
had corns, fifty five routing heels, and a
large proportion flat f?et or distorted arches. Kdu

thing. It waan t at all clear that Mr.
Iloovnr had any definite agricultur

he lauded the farmer, and the fine
character of hla home, and he
promised equality for the farmer in
very general terms, with the uaual
time-worn platitudea. At a matter

While we are on the subject of
disarmament, we might mention a
very entertaining article In laat

Stusrt Cbsse, about the nature of
the next war. If Indend there will
be a next war. He explains a the
oretical attack which was msde
sgalnst London last year, when
seventy five airplanes, piloted by
civilians, were able to elude all air
and land defenses, and drop fifty
thousand pourda of theoretical ex
plosives upon all strsteglcsl points
In London within thirty mlnulet.
He pontt out that hsd theae twen

Mr. Stuart then goes on to paint a
pretty picture of nature of the next
war. showing how the development
of bigger and faster airplanes, the
Invention of new and more terrible

make the next war a war of sure

LET'S GET ACQUAINTED
Dear Mother and Dad:
Enclosed, I am sending you an article clipped
from Tbe Daily Nebraakan. It is an announcement
on tome of the major events to be held here Round
t'p week. Of course I know that neither of you
graduated from Nebratfta but I Intend to. and I

such silly argumente aa those
which are now being put forth by
the administration leaden In con
gress. Full in the face of President Hoo
ver's objections, the senate finally
approved Ita agricultural bill. In to
to, last Tuesday, by a vote f fifty
four to thirty-three. This bill diff
era from the house bill in one real
ly Important aspect. In that It con
tains the debenture policy of the
payment of government bounties
to exporters of farm products. Now
thia bill will be sent to the house,
where It will assume a very diffi
cult position. The house, aa the In
dication t teem to point out. will re
fuse to aprove the debenture
wheme. On the other band, the
envte leaders who secured this
strong endorsement of the deben
ture plan have announced that If
the house does not approve of the
debenture provision, there will be
no farm bill at all. Thia la a fine
chance for the president to dem
onstrate his much-heralded govern-
around, you know, just to get you aquainted. Be
sides, there are many Interesting things taking
place. Ivy day is May 30 and that starts things.
You would have a chance te see the regimental
R. O. T. C. compel, which would be well worth your
time. Of course there will be the usual number of
banquets and speeches besides a dosea other linet
of eotertainment for your amusement.
Dad, this is my school. It may aound foolish,
tentlmeotal or anythlnr else you choose to call It,
but I'm proud of It and 1 want you aed Mother to
feel tbe aame way about It. The trouble of the
whole thing Is, too few of our Dads and Mothers
really know what we have down here. To tome,
tbe extent or their knowledge It that the University
is located in Lincoln and that's where they tend
son'a expense check every month.
Now tske me seriously and consider thit an

the atudy of medicine. I graduated
from the medical college and in
tended to practice the profession
but just aa I graduated I had a
chance to teach physiology for a
year In this school. I accepted the
offer and taught several years here.
"I had always been Interested In
pharmacy, however, because I felt
the lack of training In it. A doctor
should have a better knowledge of
pharmacy than he does. Conse

and have been here ever since."
Dean Lyman does not think that
a aon should follow the profession
his father picka out for him if he
does not like It.
"Neither should a ton or daugh

simply because he engaged in that
sort of work. In my own case, my
