CANINE HALL.
rrtXIZINCS the campus bfiiuty plan which
u,. nranarrd for the university, collegiate
landscape artUs have outdone themselves beauti
fully on the eat side of rharmary hall. 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

parking would coat nothing and would aattafy a
glaring need,

"TERRIBLE" NEBRASKA.
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."

CONTEMPLATING.
DARKING!
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. B.
