PLANTING IVY DAY.
IVY PAY, colorful and dramatic climax of th atii
1 dents' extra-curricular year, hat heen piwlicd un
ceremonious up to May 1. AlthmiRh alumni have
been actively Interested In thin gala event, they will
be unable to witneaa It during the regular Roundup
week.
Believing that Ivy day luteiMeJ ilu the ihl
awtic marathon of final exam week, the faculty
arranged to have It occur one month nooner.
' In a few casea. Ivy day might be named a a
contributing- cause to acholanhlp alumrs. To the
ma.a of studenta, however, the extra two days af
ford an opportunity to begin examination reviews.
The slight mental relaxation of Ivy day r-hould be a
tonic to the fatigued Intellects of undergraduates.
Much of the excitement, the thrill and the Kplen
dor of Ivy day will be lost with Its untimely occur
lence. Mortar Boards argue that the weather will
be no lent favorable In May than in June. The
barometer and the thermometer are of little conse
quence, however, if the time Is not ripe for a fiual
celebration.
Innocents are opposed to the change. Further,
they resent the fact that Ivy day was shifted with
out their approval. Likewise, other campus person
ages prefer the traditional date for Ivy day.
Alumni of the university provide a valuable con
necting link between the institution itself and the
state. These "old grads," returning for Roundup
week, like to ee their alma mater in action -not in
siesta. When they come back for their reunions the
school year will be closing, the campus will be se
rene, the buildings will be silent, the active, living
university will have departed.
The Daily Nebraskan is anxious to keep this one
tradition for the student body. If it is to be shifted
up to May 1 the spirit of the occasion is lost.
EDUCATION ON THE AIR.
"THE first aesslon of the American School of the
Air was held last month. Fifty radio broadcast
ing stations sent the program to an estimated audi
ence of 1,500,000 children "listening in" in some
20,000 schools equipped with receiving sets. Judge
Ira D. Robinson, chairman of the federal radio com
mission, spoke. He stressed the point that these
programs were to be supplementary to school lessons
and were not designed to take the place of any
subjects.
New to America, such a program has been used
in Great Britain since 1924. Nearly 5,000 schools,
including nearly all in London, daily devote an hour
to instruction via radio. Collegiate education, how
ever, has been advanced by radio In America far
more than In England.
Nebraska has been one of the pioneers in this
field. Every day of the academic year, lectures are
broadcast through the university studio to listeners
not only In this "itale but throughout the middle
west. This free service rendered by the university
is of Inestimable value. Not only does it serve as a
means of statewide education, but also spreads no
small amount of good will for the University of
Nebraska.
There Is much good about the university that
never receives any attention while anything in the
shape of a criticism receives reams of statewide pub
licity. The university radio station thus becomes
an excellent messenger of good will. It also pro
vides a means of education in subjects ranging from
Spanish to psychology. Besides this it disseminates
information on topics of a cultural nature for the
general edification of listening fans.
It IS entirely conceivable and feasible that the
naxt college at the University of Nebraska will be a
college of radio broadcast. What an asset it would

STOPPING POLITICAL RABBLE.
To tne editor:
Why should all this hard and heavy discussion
about politics be so bitter, even though It did origi
nate from the election of a May Queen? Political
issues seem to have deteriorated Into an exchange
of compliments between politiciarjs through the me
dium of this column. University politira Is only a
game a gaint which, by the way. Is enjoyed for the
most part by blue shirts, yellow jackets, and barbs
alike.
When the other fellow outsmarts us, why not be
good sports and admit it? And after all politics
are not so vital in student life. We'll flunk that
exam In the morning Just the same, whether we are
Creek or barb, and whether the thing which kept
us from studying the night before was a political
caucus or a date. E. M. P.
IN SUPPORT OF BARB PARTIES.
To the editor:
The naiveness of W. G. T. in stating that he had
the word of certain barbs that girls frequenting
downtown halls were seen at the barb dances and
that the barbs were so unsuspecting that they cred
ited them with "the intelligence of university peo
ple" is really quite amusing after it Is remembered
thai many fraternity men who attend these parties
come without dates.
I am sure also that the barbs are quite upset
over the idea that their "listless" parties have been
attracting attention a hundred miles away. And as
to "lisllcssiiess" II is lndaed strange thai that which
makes a fraternity party the yelling, cat calls,
whistling and general acting up is totally absent
at the barb parties which are conducted in somewhat
of a civilized manner.
Friend W. G. T., I hope you will always keep
your innocent mind as bereft of prejudices as you
have your articles of common justice.

FOR THE FARMERS FAIR.
J7VERY year the climax of student interest at the
college of agriculture centers in the Farmers
fair program. In this undertaking every student In
the college Is enlisted to help. Most of them take a
genuine Interest In the various projects to which
they are assigned. The result Is a successful Farm
ers fair and a spirit of unity among the students at
the agricultural college.
Many students In the arts college, teachers col
lege, and perhaps a few other divisions of the uni
versity spend four years in Lincoln going to school
but neglecting to participate In campus activities In
any way. A comparative few specialize in activities
at the expense of their academic courses.
There Is a happy mean, however, which can be
struck with great advantage to the student partici
pants. It is hard to believe that the person who
does nothing in the extra-curricular line really feels
himself a part of the university. Because of the
size of this school, classroom acquaintances fall to
foster a spirit of university consciousness.
Reluctance to take the initiative to get into ac
tivities is the reason for some of the lack of inter
est shown in them. At the agricultural college this
difficulty is evaded by drafting the entire student
body Into committee work on the Farmers fair. It
is one climaxing, colorful event toward which the
efforts of all are directed.
This la bound to develop a feeling of college loy
alty, to bring about a spirit of university conscious
ness, and to increase acquaintances and friendships
among tha students. The agricultural college has
an excellent plan to unite its large enrollment. Some
similar scheme could be adopted profitably in other
of ta larger college! at the University of Nebraska.
THOSE "SESSIONS."
To the edilor:
I happened to observe that our editor recom
mends that we college students get more "shut eye."
If it were possible we would certainly take advan
tage of the opportunity. But may I present another
aspect of the situation?
It seems that all the blame is thrown upon the
student himself in that his late evenings are taken
up mostly by "bull sessions." Here, the fatal error
ia that one should infer that there should be no
sessions. Many of our educators, and one noted
professor here in our own school, bemoan the fact
that the art of conversation is lost.
It is contended, and rightly, that conversation is
very high in educational value. My personal expe
rience has been that a great deal of what I have
learned in college is the result of these very ses
sions. 1 stop to think upon the many diverging
ideas broached on every subject from world court
to birth control. I maintain that "bull sessions" are
an integral part of college life. VAN.
Current Comment
THIS OLD PROBLEM OF 'CUTS.'
Despite educators' opinions contrary, students
in most American colleges are ruled by kindergarten
methods as opposed to leading universities and col
leges elsewhere In the world.
Drastic oulcroppings of this famous old custom
of penalizing, punishing and otherwise harassing
college students with "cut" methods, little dissimilar
with primary school tactics, have been noticeable
on Wyoming's campus as well as many others.
In brief, why shouldn't a modification of the
system be in order? True, many students must be
disciplined. Many students deliberately try to evade
scholastic requirements of this school in favor of
"activities."
Eut in our mind, the policy of one professor on
the campus, Doctor Fossler of the department of
psychology, has the correct system. A bona fide
absence can be made up by handing in written work.
Thus when a student must be absent for one
reason or another, he presents his excuse to his in
structor, does the necessary amount of work to in
dicate that his class work hasn't suffered and no
penalty Is Inflicted. Everyone concerned is satisfied.
When no conference in reference to the work is ar
ranged, the instructor goes on the assumption that
the student has avoidably missed ci.ss. Penalizing
a student's grade In this Instance Is left up to the
instructor.
That plan seems to be giving a fair minded
interpretation of the "cut" system now used. UNI

Large Counties Are Better.
One important advantage of hav
ing larger counties would be that
the county officers could be paid a
more adequate salary, stated Dr.
Kneier. Their duties would be
made sufficient and worthwhile.
There would be enough money for
the county to hire the most ac
complished men.
"Has the county been success
ful in carrying out its duties?"
questioned Dr. Kneier. In Ihe first
place It is the duty of an officer
to enforce the law. This fact
should be considered when people
are voting for county officers. Dr.
Kneier believes It is a good plan
to have the sheriff appointed by
the atate government instead of
being locally elected. He suggests
a solution might be to have a state
police department.
Co-operation Needed.
We need co-operation between
