Hartley Ilurr Aleander. former chairman tf the department of philosophy at tha University of Nebraska, at a convocation Monday morning. Doctor Alexander-one of Nebraska gteatet.1 thinkers and tdealiKta did not nay anything new. He merely reiterated and re-en phied thi thought which baa recently come to be a foundation atone in the American unlvers It. But thla challenge should te an inspiration to the true atudenta In this university. Tha conquer, ora of tomorrow are n't going to he warriors with their j una and cannon nor adenturei with their packa and n mantle lust. It i the learned men of the world ho will aolve the mvsterits l the new worlds (t the future. These new world, of conn, are spiritual world. Spiritual in tt.in sense d.ws not pertain t religion, hut to woilda that involve the prnl.lems and Innrr workings ! the human ptrlt.

This conqueror has many new worlds t explore that hiive not yet been tombed. This cla-th on the philosophical and scientific points of view was noted in Doctor Alexanders ad dies. Such a diveigence of opinion has been prev alent for some time. While a student daily paper should n t question the judgment .f so eminent a thinker. It does eem that these two concept fona could be correlated aud reconciled instead of pushed apart as has been the case. There la a place for the philosopher ami a place lor the scientist in the at my of tomorrow s con querors. In fact those two groups will lad the van. Thne who lair behind will v. ve failed to catch the significance of anything beyond the most tangible and most apparent in the physical realm. These fru.-liated soul. Hi Doctor Alexander expresses it, must get a glimpse of these other worlds. Just as important as this earth that revolves in its orbit around the sun, if their lives are to be as rich and aa full as. they could be. The dreams that are dreamed in a university will go farther in this new conquest than the dreams 01 Columbus and of Magellan centuries ago. New worlds to conquer? There are plenty of them and the university today has become the re cruiting station for their conquerors. whtih waa far from conducive to cotHeniiaied study and wearing decent cMhes. ( 3.

CPRING Is here and students have begun to clamor for adequate room outdoors to erase the cramps of winter confinement. They are overrunning the few university trnnis courts, flocking to the avail able golf courses, and scurrying to the cool confines of swimming- pools. At each of these places there are linei of restless, rumpled students awaiting their tu:n for a few minutes of welcome exercise. No court or course is idle foi a minute of the day. This congestion becomes forcibly apparent at this tim? every year, and Nebraska's inadequate physical plant continues to be s sore spot for ener getic students. The school has no g-olf course, it has no swimming pool, and it hns six courts to satisfy the hundreds of tennis-minded students. This situation is certainly not conducive to univer sal physical training among .students, which edu cators so emphatically laud. Nebraska Fpent cloo to half a million dollars on a commercial enterprise, the Stadium, which gives actual physical benefit to about fifty regular men in football and approximately 100 in track and field work. Yet only the smallest fraction of this money is spent on the universally popular sports of tennis, golf and swimming. Of course it is to be admitted that the Stadium is of great interest to the whole student body still it gives them no really valuable physical benefits. The Coliseum serves in no small extent toward al leviating the great dearth of equipment for physi cal training, but even it is unsatisfactory when the warmth of spring calls sfudents out of doors. That this demand for an enlarged physical plant is not unreasonable is shown by the conditions at other schools. Iowa university, for example, has separate swimming pools for men and women, and conducts an eighteen bole golf course. Missouri has twenty courts for men, with entirely separate fa cilities for women. There is, in addition, a golf course. Nebraska has great plans for the future. Some day, by and by, tennis courts, ball diamonds and gridirons are to be sprinkled liberally behind the Coliseum and north of the Stadium. Quite soon a few more courts will be added east of the Coliseum. And before another year there may be some to the west of It But Nebraskans are impatient. Their desire for some outdoor place for exercise Is only natural. The university could well afford to devote immedi ate attention and the necessary expenditure to remedying this situation as quickly as possible. IN DEFENSE 0T READERS. To the editor: It m amazing how much misinformation and verbal casuistry pasaea for the gro.pel truth simply by virtue of the caption: -It ia an admitted fact that." etc.. etc.. or "Anyone who knows anything at all knows' that." etc.. etc. To the cautious reader, of couise. such formulas usually assume a contrary significance; they mean - Watch out! This is ques tionable" My belief ia that "A. B." U Ky of precisely thla offense In his denouncement of the reader system at the University of Nrbra-ka. It pleases "A. B." to stress the unfairness and incom petence of readers In general-a rather grave accu sation. Particular Instances of such shortcoming can be found. I suppose, for readers are (despite expec tations to the contrary) quite human and quite sub ject to the foibles of the flesh. To assume, however, that all reader, or even a respectable number of them, are ethically and Intellectually deficient is just as ridiculous as to assume that all studenta are wise or even reasonably intelligent) and above underhanded practices In their class work. The readers with whom 1 am personally as quainted. and the number is not Inconsiderable, rep resent the best that the student body has to offer. The majority of them are either upperclassmen or graduates. They owe their positions not to toady ism and not to "pull." but to mental and moral competency. I have never met one that wasn't absolutely conscious of the obligation of his office. In fact, most readers are inclined to be fetish In the observance of the ethics of their business. If "A. B." doubts the truth of these assertions he ob viously haa had but little experience w ith readers. Furthermore. It Is sophomoric to suppose that professors have nothing better to do than to read the equally sophomoric verbal exercises of under graduate students. Does "A. B." know that the desirability of any member of the teaching staff at Nebraska is closely connected with, almost propor tional to the exercise of his own Intellectual facul ties in his own interests? In other words, they are not automatons and they are not paragons; they must have a goodly share of their time at their own disposal. At best reading is always a thankless task and generally a tiresome one. Professors know this even better than readers do. Yet it must be done. Cranting for the moment that fdudent-readers are sometimes tardy with their work and partial with their grades (points which I do not at all concede), does it follow that instructor-readers would be any different? I think not. Concerning the grade discrepancies in the identi cal papers which "A. B." cites, it Is evident that the ethical laxity ia threefold here dishonesty on the part of the students, mlsjudgment on the part of the reader, and Indifference on the part of the in structor. Now the question Is: Who has a case against whom? A most excellent case in point for the notorious "Gadflies." In conclusion, then, let us be generous enough to admit, "A. B.", that readers, generally speaking, are . . .i u . . 1 1 , l v. t o w-hnse a little belter miormea umo 0,.uw..i.. - nflners thev read and just as punctilious in matters of ethics as the instructors whom they assist.

The ,i w Is veiy plaMic. to which numlH'ili s Mtionaliatlona may be applied with equal force. 'THK :iond source of opposition to the Appointment comes from the ANtociMion for the Advance ment ol I'oloied People, the most influt'i.ti'il ncyio hi sanitation In the country. Its dissatisfaction Is pietl.lsed upon some indiscreet re inst k which the Judge Is said to have made during the presidential campaign f 15C0. Judge Parker, prior to hi appointment to the fedeial di.-trict curt, was a politi cal figure of some note In his state, and had a quired a reputation for oratory. Th secretary of the as sociation ha denounced him be f.ne N'orris' judiciary committee as having "shamelessly flouted" the provisions of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. T ON BOOKS AND DOORS AND DIRT. AN ALTERNATION in procedure which has been fixed by tradition Is accompanied by some dif ficulties of adjustment. This has been true, more or less, la connection with opening Social Sciences library on Sunday afternoons. Attention haa also been called to some previously existing rules and practices which might be advantageously changed from the student point of view. Here are four things that The N'ebraskan con tend! should be changed at once. 1. Doors to the Social Sciences building should b opened promptly at 2 p. m. Sunday afternoon. The past three Sundays the librarian has been forced to wait outside and rout out a Janitor after 2 o'clock- Last Sunday only the south entrance was open. 1. The Social Sciences library should be dusted before Sunday afternoon. Last Sunday tables and chairs were covered with a liberal layer of diit OPEN THE DOOR! To the Editor: Why in the name of common sense cant they .v.. ..hi, ,i,ior of Social Sciences open after 6 o'clock? You sure must hand it to the Janitors. there's nothing slow about tbem-wnen u u locking up the buildings nights. The doors of Social Sciences are supposed to re main open until 6 o'clock at least. But promptly at 5:50 the faithful caretakers of the university budd ings go around and seal up the students within like mice in a trap. Of course the south door is always open, but who cares for the exercise of running clear around to the front door? The rush of students to the barricaded door after freshmen lecture Monday nights ia the best example of the inconvenience caused by the punc tuality of the Janitors. Three or four hundred freshmen are turned loose at 6 o'clock and at least half of this number make for the north door only to find It locked. And then there are the students who wish to come to the Social Sciences library to study nights. At least half of them come from the streets north of S street, the natural place for them to enter Social Sciences would be at the north door. But when they arrive on the scene they find the door locked and are compelled to trudge around the building to the front entrance. Would not the few nloutes that would be re quired of Janitors to lock up the building after 10 o'clock amount to less than the time taken of sev eral hundred students, who are compelled to walk around the building every night when they come and again when they leave? On top of this there Is the Inconvenience caused the students who wish to go from Social Sciences to the other parts of the campus, such as the main library. Again I ask is there any plausible reason on the face of Gods green earth why the north door of Social Sciencea could not remain unlocked after 6 o clock? THE CAMPUS CRAB THK thud source of opposition comes from those who have eanunei the decisions which he has written during his tenure of office in the district court, and the one non-le.jal article he has writ ten, and who have concluded that he is a man of mediicre talents. Inolilno tha lnillortii1 vigor and imaginative s-iclal grasp of things which would make his presence on the bench an asset. These critics are unwilling to concede that mere inoffensiveness is sufficient to qualify him to be a member of America's supreme judicial body. Strength and vigor are to them more necessary qualities than mere inocuousness. Only the fact that .In ipe Parker is young, and there fore has plenty of time to learn, seems to mollify this group. HK senate has again approved Remit or Norris' proposal that Ihe government retain ownership and control of the plant at Muscle Shoals, and use it as an experimen tal station. The vote was decisive, 45 to 23. This decision of the sen ate came in the face of a long and determined effort on the part of a number of important power com panies to get the government to cither sell or lease it to them. In deed, it seems that the main rea son for the senate's vote was Just this: that the power companies have been reaching out too far, and that it is time for congress to do something about it. The sena tors have resented the pretensions of the power lobbies, and took this opportunity to express themselves. THAT Muscle Shoals cannot be 1 pioliiably used for its original purpose, manufacture or nnra.ee, has been demonstrated quite con clusively. The plant and Its Im mense dam were constructed dur inir ivip cvr when nitrate was a burning necessity, and the cost no consideration. But today, with the best processes of extracting nitrate .mo nf (ho air it rannot be made as cheaply as the more available nitrate can be put on the market. All the harangue about using Mus cle Shoals to benefit the farmer, by making for him a less expensive nil ra in fertilizer, is nolitical niffle. Mr. Norris knows this, and has never put forth such arguments in defense of his main proposition, that the government should not soil ihe nlant. He Is omosed. on principle, to the handing over of an immense nlant and dam, capable of froneratine a vast amount of wtririt v to nrivate comorations n has liitle use for them as thev are. So he would do the next best thinir. and use Muscle Shoals as a great testing laboratory wherein processes may be developed which Will ne oi ncneiiL 10 lae cuuniiy.
