ANOTHER ATTACK.
! rTKATING HIS CJCAHCES firat road in 127.
An'nn M. Jenen. former Instructor In the de.
partment of romanre lanua.e. haa circulated the
pamphlet which he thieatened to publiah hould Th
.biakan fail to print a lenfthy letter written aft
er the Initial appearence of "With Fire and Sword."
Be.au.e of it length and the presence of libelous
atatrmenta only a few of the more Important pointa
were publbed.
In h!a circular Mr. Jensen iharge the unlveiaity;
with being educationally bankrupt and place blame
upon the fact that the board of regents deniea the
faculty the right of petition. In a quotation from a
farmer in.'iructor he aaya that no Instructor darea
to openly differ with the board.
The administration, be aays, haa attempted to
deceive the public by circulating reporta that facul
ty rr.embera mere leaving because of low aalariee.
while in truth the objection was that remaining waa ;
educational auicide" because of the decreasing I
quality of the school. Staying, he saya. "put them
in the ruinous light of remaining because they can
not hold a position ai any other place than the
University of Nebraska.
The constant reference to the $1,500 increase in
alary received by Dr. H. B. Alexander w hen be left
Nebraska and went to Scrips college la a deception.
Jensen aays, for in reality he left because the re
gents refused to grant bis demand for greater fac
ulty righta. These demand were for the right of
faculty petition and contract with the regents; fac
ulty consideration of the mattei of the college of
art and aciences and certification, and the appoint
ment of a faculty committee to draw up a charter
of faculty righta and a constitution of government.
Jensen maintains that Alexander asked for neither
a salary nor a change In title.
Many professor! who have been included in the
list of those who left to secure better salaries
have been forced out by the Ph.D. degree rule, he
says. This rule provides that any instructor who
does not have the equivalent of a Ph. D. degree or
does not hold a profesorship at the end of three
years is automatically dismissed. The stand upon
thia rule, and its enforcement baa been inconsisten,
he saya, for in aome case It la applied and in other
cases it is denied that auch a rule exists.
In commenting upon his own connection with
the university, Jensen maintains that he is not a
faculty member "who was dismissed for his opinions
and statements concerning the university." as a stu
dent opinion In the Nebraska, charged. Ha declared
that In 1927 he waa notified of hi release under the
tenure rule, but five montha later waa notified that
bis dismissal waa not because of the rule but be
cause of "insubordination." Prior to thia he had is
sued a virulent statement attacking- the regents pol
icy. JOWEVER, MR. JENSEN haa neglected a few im
portant potnta. He haa failed to explain why men
like Harry T. Cunningham and others are about to
Join the faculty, and why aeveral men of high rank
have been added aince the days of Dr. Alexander.
It is not unreasonable to think, also, that many of
our Landing faculty members have declined offers
from other schools, and have chosen to remain at
Nebraska.
Likewise, he has failed to paint a complete pic
ture of tie case of Dr. Alexander. Alexander not
only asked that a committee be selected to draft a
constitution, but demanded that he be made chair
man of tr.t committee. He wanted the teachera col
lege abolished, as a second atep in the reorganiza
tion. TJOW STUDENTS SHOULD consider the pamph
let la difficult to determine. In fairness to the
administration it should not be taken aa the only
side of the question; yet in fairness to the future of
the university it cannot be disregarded. The rather
3i.concerting part of the whole matter la that in the
past there have been no answer to the charges a
silence which may mean simply a disregard of the
whole matter as not unworthy of attention, or some
thing mora serious.
Undoubtedly the administration has taken the
most effective step to prevent Jensen's publications
from receiving any great attention by simply disre
garding them. Answering the charges would stir up
widespread comment. Even a complete denial would
stir up critical comment on university affairs, yet
to pass them by is too apt to be taken as inabiUty
to answer.
Publications such as "With Fire and Sword"
and the sheet of recent issue have their place in uni
versity life, and add a measure to safety to what
may easily become too complacent an attitude to
ward administration. Although at times their meth
ods may be somewhat unfair, it is reasonably safe
to say that they are Inspired by a desire to correct
what appears to the writer as conditions unfavor
able to the highest standards.

A THING OF BEAUTY
TTIIS MORNING T. C. H. in the student pulse col
umn coments on the disgraceful condition of the
campus "hog lot," also called the drill field. Con
1 1 mating it with the west part of the campus, he
shows bow it might easily be turned into an attrac
tive spot by the planting of grass, trees and shruTM.
Without doubt the condition of the west stretch
of open frontier is a disgrace to the university. It's
condition is not of as minor importance as might be
imagined, for it soclearly is the result of improper
attention.
If the university finds it necessary to continue the
policy of military training as a requisite for fresh
ae or aophomorea, either without reason or under
THE CAMPUS "HOC LOT"
To the Editor:
Ask anybody and he or she will admit that the
Unlversitaa Nebraskensia haa a pretty rotten look
ing campus. According to the date on the front of
my notebook the institution came isto existence
about 1869, Feb. 15 to be exact. That means that It
has been growing older for sixty-one years three
months, and since universities, unlike people, and
like tobacco, are supposed to mellow with age, there
must be a mistake somewhere.
There has been considerable building going on and
that entails disfigurements, but notice the mall and
plots in front of the coliseum which a year ago were
bare and ugly and now are green and pleasing to
the eye. It takes only a little while to landscape and
sod grasslesss pots, so why is this campus homely?
It is not placed among very pretentious surround
ings, but the downtown section it borders on should
not be responsible for criticism against the campus
Itself. Supppoe we meander across the old plot and
discover why it is not pretty.
When you come out of the Law building and an
gle over toward Brace laboratory, the great clusters
of bridal wreath all form a picture that critics
would call "not bad." Past University hall looking
toward the Administration building where the little
park that was the scene of Ivy day is situated the
view would do credit to any school. Even the walk
past the Armory with Pharmacy hall on the right
is hedged with shrubs and overhanging boughs that
arouse nothing but admiration.
But then cross Twelfth street and hurry past the
left end of iiocial Sciences and don't look at the
drill field unless you wish your day to be ruined.
The bare rough ground atretching for two hundred
yards or more toward the tennis courts and An
drews hall reminds one of a recent circus site where
crowds and nimaia have trampled the earth to dust
and pebblea alone break the monotony. There is no
need to go further. Here Is the eyesore that Juts up
in the center of the Nebraska campus to spoil what
ever beauty may be elsewhere on it No one driving
about the university can miss the glare of unclean
spirit that seems to be thrown off by that area.
Perhaps the military department reaps a benefit
from the use of the drill field that offsets the am
ount it defaces the campus but that is doubtful.
Other schools have a mlitary department but their
grounds are not broken by any such artificial mon
strosity as the one on which Cornhusker soliders do
"squads right" and "right front into line."
What aa Improvement it would be to come out
of Teachers college some morning and sea green
grass and trees filling the space toward the tennia
courts and Andrew'a ball. Then no one could aay
that Nebraska had aa ugly campus. T. C H.

Discounts Drinking Iteriea.
Captain Anderson aaid be often

er boy and girls not yet In the
unlveraity. He said that If th con
dition actually existed where fif
teen and aixteen year old, a well
as the older students, were actu
ally getting drunk, that would be
something to think about. But
that condition doea not exist, be
declared.
"People try to tell me that there
la much more drinking among the
younger class now than when we
tad saloons." said the captain. "I
would aay that the opposite was
true. I know It wss pretty hard
for a fifteen or aixteen year old to
get a drink In the saloon days, but
the youtha of nineteen or twenty
didn't bav any trouble because
they could pass themselves off aa
twenty-one.
"Whenever there was a big foot
ball game some twenty-five yeara
ago. it used to look like fully two
thirds of the entire university was
drunk after the game. In reality
It was probably not more than 20
percent but even that was a large
numoer. Nowaday, atudenta make
plenty of nolsA and confusion after
the games but, win or lose, that is
about all they do."

"I bear report every day about

Anderson. "But If they vera as
bad a painted that would cer
tainly ahow up. They could not
get away with It. I ran aee noth

and I think the reports which come
to me are simply more talk."
When queationed concerning bla

"The parent a of tomorrow will

of thia period they have passed
through. It will be much harder
for tomorrow' child to put any
thing over on bla parenta than It
la for the child of today because
the parents will not be ao easily
fooled."
When aked the average marry
ing age of today aa contrasted
with that of twenty-five years ago
the captain replied that it was at
least two yeara higher today. He
atated that in bygone daya a girl
was considered of marrying age
when she reached seventeen. And
by twenty ahe waa an old maid If
she bad no husband.
The average twenty-five yeara
ago waa about eighteen for the
girla and twenty-one for the men
as contrasted with the present av
erage of twenty for the girla and
twentv-three for the men. accord
ing to' Captain Anderson. He
stated that this waa hia estimate
but that the average nowadays
might be even higher.
In general Captain Anderson
thinks the present generation is
jnit about as good and morally
right as those of years gone by.
This applies not only to university
students, but to youth in general,
he said.
