The clev errst. swankiest dog house has been erected a a lean-to fhanty; its atately lines and dignified paint job are worthy of editorial comment. And that, strange to nay. la a mere aurface skimmer for Canine hall. Talkies have replaced the trim, silent drama; so the landscapes have de cided to make this new campus building the last adjective in architecture. It 1 a 100 percent sound affair. Yelps, barks and growls drift melodiously from this ruidy structure. Classes on the west side of Social Sciences appreciate this point particularly for it keeps them aware of the outside world. Howling, boisterous dops co-operate with pro tessors In true Nebraskan spirit. The bark-bark of a healthy canine Is conducive to concentration. In structors appreciate the thunderous commotion, for it causes students to pay much cloaer attention to lectures. At times, of course, these faculty representa tives are forced to raise their voices to shouts. If they are to be heard. But what strong, virile pro fessor wishes to lecture in a moderate tone? Stu dents and faculty join on common ground in dis cussing Canine hall; they admire it. Aesthetically, the dog home is superb. It has brought Pharmacy hall up to par with University hall and the campus coal heap. It fills a yawning gap in University of Nebraska life and for that noble attainment It is deserving of unbounded praises. How considerate of the campus plotters to place this modernistic building in the very heart of the campus. The groveling, mangy pups which have prowled around Nebraska's halls of learning for so long have finally found their home sweet home. What dog would not life his voice in thanks to the university for providing him a place to hang his hat? These howls of thanks, by the way, are quite AllfllMlt Then let Nebraskans dedicate a moment of silent j meditation to the campus of the future. In the years to come, Cornhyskerdom and dogdom will be joined in one happy, exuberant group. Perhaps when the campus beautiflcation plan is complete, bird houses, cat dens, monkey cages, pig pens and stables will be distributed tastefully amongst the dignified halls of scholastic pursuit. Nature must have Its way. UNDERTOW. VTHEN magazines that college men and women read start printing such trash as "Drinking, the New Religion for Americans," by Gilbert Seldes, which appears in a recent issue, it's high time some thing be said to offset any influence such tommyrot might have. This Is the way the article ends: "If some one answers that drinking is, after all, still optional in America, he had better leave the company, for he is in the presence of the profoundest illustion of our time." It Is such raw comment that completely under mines any Influence the prohibition laws might have on college students. At Nebraska, at any rate. Mr. Seldes' rash statement is away out of line with the facts. In some Nebraska sets it is the swank thing to be a bit "tight" on occasions. That need not be de nied. But the student body, by and large, is not a congregation of inebriates or tosspots which must have Its liquor to have a big time. The unfortunate aspects of the Seldes article are that it gives the public the wrong conception of col lege youth and that it directs a few weaker students toward a college life interspersed with frequent sprees which they are led to believe Is the thing to do. Such stories provide the undertow that under mines respect for established law and order. which U here offered-probably to be reacted along with the others. The traveled area directly In front of the atJium is unimproved and unoccupied, emept for two unaightly looking shacks, used five tunes a year for ticket at and. It coulj be converted Into a parking ground that would accommodate from one to two hundred care. Opening the place for atudent parking would coat nothing and would aattafy a glaring need, rtut meanwhile congestion pievaila.

To the editor: And again our friend (? Anton Jenen has broken forth with one of his periodic tirades againet dear old Nebraska. But w hat does ii mat ter? We have been noticing lately that numU-rlewi personnel representatives of ane f the Urgent com panies of the world have been visiting us. and be fore the spring season is over, a great many seniors wilt have attractive positions open to them. Busi ness men, engineers, teachers and whatnot will be on their careers In no time at all. Isn't It funny that hard headed business execu tives are willing to take these youths who have been subjected to "chicanery of this university for four years, and put them to work at attractive sala ries? And Isn't It strange that school executives are willing to take hundreds of young men and women Into their school systems after having had experience In thia terrible institution? The only saving thing about the whole situation is that this most severe criticism comes from a "former" member of the university faculty who was dismissed for his opinions and statements concern ing the university. This inconsequential bunk that is being passed out by Mr. Jensen merits space in no one's newspa per. Perhaps we are all headed for the proverbial dogs, and perhaps the university is the victim of ill management but at the same time, for ourselves we would rather "endure" the present situation than to listen to the rantlngs of our beloved "ex" mem bee of the faculty. M. C. A. DIOGENES' SMOKY LANTERN To the editor: If Diogenes were reincarnated today at Ne braska his first move would probably be to get out the old lantern, clean the wick and put in .a goodly supply of oil. and begin a new search in all the cracks and crannies of the campus, not for a male addicted to honesty, but for a female not addicted to tobacco. Wise as the old boy was he would probably say that it is perfectly within the rights of the girls to smoke if they so desire. The habit is admittedly not good for either sex but the pleasure It affords mav outweleh the barm it may do. Old Diogwould probably blow out his lantern long enough to remark that woman suffrage and whatnot have brougnt about a greater or less degree of parity between men and women. He would probably add that women have just as much right to the cigaret habit as men and don't forget he was a pretty smart old duffer. But then he would borrow a match from one of the girls and relight the ancient lantern to renew his quest. He would want to find that girl to sat isfy himself that there was one left who could re sist that familiar "its being done attitude." For a girl does not. like to smoke before she has tried it any more than a kid likes to swim before he has learned how. And to get back to Diogenes, after he had hunted fnr days and nights in vain, he would bash his lan tern to bits outside some campus college den and stride inside and Ehout: "Smoke! Dames, damsels, all of you, if you must assert your equality by copying the manner isms of man, but if you smoke, learn how if you have to take lessons. Don't be so obviously uncon cerned and nonchalant while doing something you like. And if you don't like it. don't smoke." And as he went out the door Diog would be sorry he "busted" a good lantern over anything as unimpor tant as what girls will do to be "a la mode." DIOG. II.

Mention that word to the car-driving estudent and he sees red. Why shouldn't be ? The parking situation around this university is deplorable. But the disheartening fact is that it can be remedied In some measure and is not. Half of the places reserved for professors Just north of Social Sciences remain vacant. Since last fall when provision was made to accommodate these cars, only forty have been parked there where there is room for eighty. The Nebraskan's proposal to park diagonally on one side of Twelfth street from R to the end of the pavement was met with a rebuff by Operating Su perintendent Seaton who believed that adopting such a plan would result in so much congestion that it would be more unsafe than today. Another propo sition which sought to make a double row of cars north of Social Sciences also was rej' cted rn the grounds that the drill field had already been re duced as much as possible without Impairing the national standing of the local military department. There Is still another plan, seemingly practical. WHAT PRICE READERS? In a number of courses at the University of Nebraska, readers, recruited from the student body in most cases, are entrusted with the Job of reading, correcting, and grading the papers which cove - the written assignments made by the class Instructor. To see the advantages of the reader system is to realize the time saved for the instructor who thus is relieved, in most cases, from a burdensome and undesirable task. The system also affords a means of financial return for the readers. But the machinery of the reader system in a school like our university Is not as simple as one would suppose. Implanted in the system are a num ber of evils: Politics, fraternity and sorority asso ciates, friends, personal dislikes and other such con siderations influence the reader. It is an admitted fact that these evils do exist and there are cases to uohold this statement. One case which can be cited is the Instance of a student at a college here at the university who wrote both his and his roommate s assignments on a certain class subject. Both papers were Identical in composition, but when they were returned, one the roommate's had received a high grade, while the other failed. When he approached the Instructor to show him the injustice, be was answered with a laugh, but his grade was unchanged. Cases like thia bring forth the question: Is the reader system worth while? The reader practice violates two principles: it abuses honor which the reader system depends upon for its successful operation, and it gives little, if any chance for fair treatment to the student in me case of an injustice. The system, on the whole, helps only a small percentage of the student body and faculty, benefiting only those professors who are saved the task of reading and grading the pa pers and those students who are paid to read them. The added facts that readers are not as capable as instructors when it comes to the Important task of deciding a student's grade and that they do not fairly and impartially grade the papers lends great weight to endorsement of the movement for aboli tion of this practice- -a system overrun with evils which greatly outnumber the few meager benefits derived.
