JEWETT'S SERVICES
Chancellor Says Commander
Has Endeared Himself
In All Circles.
HERE FOR FIVE YEARS
Chancellor E. A. Burnett, in a
recent Interview bestowing a mes
sage of appreciation upon Lieut.
Col. F. F. Jewett, who will be
transferred at the close of the
second semester to the seventh
corps area headquarters at Omaha,
paid tribute to the officer's ac
complishments in the R. O. T. C.
department during his command
here.
The statement pointed out the
honor and esteem in which the
colonel Is held In university and
city circles and mentioned the so
cial position the commander and
his wife occupy. "During his five
year detsll at Nebraska univer
sitv." Chancellor Uurnett points
nut -f.t. Pol. .tewett has been a
moulder of citizenship."
Dr. Burnett's complete state
ment follows:
"As a citizen and a Chrirtian
gentleman. Colonel Jewett has en
deared himself to all those who
have come to know him Intimately.
With Mrs. Jewett, he has occupied
an Important place in the social
and civic life of the uniccrsity
community."
"Lt. Col. F. F. Jewett has been
a member of the university fac
ulty for the past five years as pro
fonxnr of militarv science and tac
tics. Hi abultx as an ojucer is
Indicated bv the military n
clencv of the R. O. T. C. unit
which, under lnsnectlon, has
ranked in the highest group pro
vided In the war department's
classification. The military edu
cation offered in the university
has taught the obligations of the
citizen to his country, respect for
law, and some degree of technical
efficiency.
"At the request of the univer
ii euthoritles. his detail was ex
tended as long as the rules of the
war department would permit. He
now coes back to active service
c
urifrh I roons.
"In his position as commandant
of cadets he has been an efficient
officer. His relation with students
has been friendly and cordial. His
public relations have been ideal.
His life among us Is proof that an
army officer devoting himself to
the service and defense of the na
tion may represent the highest
type of an American citizen.
"Our best wishes will follow
Colonel and Mrs. Jewett to their
new field of labor."

LOCATION OF BASKET
Officers Arc Dissatisfied
With Gate Receipts at
Meet in Lincon.
MAY CALL FOR 'BIDS'
After nearly a frore of annual
state basketball tournaments have
been hld at the university, a
change of location of the 13!
tourney waa suggested after dis
appointment of the ptate high
school board In financial receipts
or tne ivm cin?ir.
Unlike state basketball lourua-
mcnl gate receipts of previous
years, the 1930 tournament iinan-
cinl result is unsatisfactory to me
board. The high school men. cn-rfpavorlne-
to hetter 1931 prospects,
may determine the location of fu
ture state toumamenta by receiv
ing bids from different Nebraska
cities.
A curtain of silence surround
ing the matter keeps ths opinions
of tho university and board mem
bers from the public, but although
no statements have been forthcom
ing it is understood that tin state
board plans to present a plan to
the next meeting of delegates.
This plan's natur is relative to
putting the tourney on the auction
platform by the use of bids.
The lessening of the gate re
ceipts la traced to the smaller
number of teams in the tourney
and the smaller tourney caused by
the regional elimination tourneys
held over the state. Only thlrty
tr.'G acliuuls were represented in
the tourney just closed, as com
pared to hurdreds in previous
years.
