A UNIVERSITY, Jt has Utn mhI. Is really made up of Its jirc-fcsor and Its libiary. IYihaps that statement is ex aggerating the case for professors and for the libraiy a trifle, though In these two sources ef knowledge repose the foundation of any uni versity or seat of learning. Nebraska of late has brought some noted teachers to its campus. It has retained its best Instruc tors with some few unavoidable exceptions. Its libiaiy, however, is nothing to boast of in fact it Is something which demands apol ogies even from the most hearty exponents of this educational in stitution. The physical plant of the li biary. the location, the available looks, and even the spirit under lying Nebiaska's bookhouse arc inadequate and in need of correc tion. A libraiy is a storehouse of culture and of knowledge. It con tains the best thoughts of the greatest leaders and the worth while contributions of all known c ivilizations. It stimulates thought. It creates intellectual interests. It holds the key to further progress if students will but use it to un 1 ck the portals of their minds. LIBRARY, therefore, stands for something almost sacred. It means something far more than the building, far more than the lo cation, far more than the improve ments and facilities within. The spirit underlying a library should be n thirst for knowledge a thirst that becomes narcotic and un quenchable. This lust for knowledge thus provoked is one passion which re quires little inhibition. Encouraged to proceed unchecked, it can im pregnate new and valuable thoughts in the minds of the stu dents who become patrons of the library. Unlike most pleasures which deteriorate with repetition, use of the library develops an in satiable desire to learn more and more of the open secrets that it holds. Thus the spirit of the library is t ultra-importance, fundamental find concomitant with the whole idea of a university. This spirit, however, is best engendered when external conditions offer proper stimulation for it. Instead of having the library scattered all over the campus, it should be housed in one structure with the exception of departmental units treating the technical aspects of some subject in their given fields. Instead of having the cen tral plant In one corner of the cam pus, it should be located where it will be convenient for the most students and faculty members. JNSTEAD of having to pore over books in . a dingy sanctuary where thoughts are easily dis turbed by an endless procession of people clattering in and out, to and fro' the library should be a baven of quiet with equipment and ar rangement conducive to ttm ti trated study. There are a number of univer sity projects underway and advo cated from time to time which certainly will and would contri bute to the welfar? and interests of this institution. lint they aie inertly contribu tory while the idea of an outstand ing and truly worthwhile library a a sanctuary of knowledge in ba sic in the structure of a univer sity and symbolizes a foundation which muhl be strengthened if the gilded towers of Nebrask prestig and V.e ornate framework of its Intellectual accomplishments hope to rise verv far above the drab roofs of mediocrity. not; in tih: MAMsKIt Dy Joo D'"0 of congress in- The Davis School Service Nebraska's Leading Teachers' Agency Established 1916 n-4954 635 6 Stuart BUlg.; Lincoln DOG DAYS.

"We sociologists must learn fiist one fundamental concept, tout i Interrogation points in the above hodgepodge denote two things: firtt the Ignorance of the student harkening to a lecture in Social Sciences as to the rest of the state ment; second the unutterable language that creeps in among thoughts of sociology, history, political science, economics, or whatnot when infernal yelps and barks and howls and whines con tinue to emanate hourly at least hourly from the bloodrcd blood hound shed on the leeward side of Pharmacy hall. When the canine chorus begins, lectures and classroom activity cease. At lca.st they might just as well cease for all that can be se cured from theTi then. What is worse, the dogs have the annoy ing habit of beginning their seren ades and song fests right in tb! mWdle of an important point in the lecture. The point is missed, the gist of the lecture lost dis concerting. The pharmacists can't help it if their dogs whine and howl and yelp and bark. Those noises from dogs are as natural as four syl lable words from professors. What is wrong is the location of the kennels, which could not have been placed in a more central spot of the university. In the heart of the campus, they are prone to provoke an apoplexy of interest on the part of students and D. T. among Social Sciences professors. A worthwhile student enterprise would be to move clogs and dog house out north of the Stadium some dark night. WKLU I1KHI3 goes! I strayed away from the Aits college one day and the predatory Journ alists put me to work on a column. They had to have some new tal ent, they said, because giadiiMlon has Just robbed the department of several "white hopes"' of the news paper profession. OU know, It rtiwajn nmii-w in hm ait thA hinlilini? little "Journ alists" graduating, only to find that they had become meie "news paper men. Opening ft column Is touchy Lusiness at wiy time of the year, but the dear old summer time is a poor season to start anything. With regular classes over, most of us have so much time to spare that we never accomplish any thing. It always seems conentinal to open with a discussion of policies and purposes, so draw closer while I tell what J hope to do and what I refuse to do. One thing. I will rot re-ter to myself by the good old Journalistic "wc." 1 never could determine whether editors call themselves "we" to ward off suspicions of egotism or because they feel that there is safety in numbers. In any case, I choose to be myself. rather than several people. Another thing, you may wonder why this column is called Dog in the Manger. That's easy. My friends tell me that, like the pro verbial dog in the manager. 1 am always crabbing about something. , Well. I guess that all the pre liminaries are out of the way. so let's mcve on. I SEE that the spring or me irmnr YELLs I " is.ono Schooner Is on the news stands. As a matter ef fact, it has been for two weeks, but I have been too buried in final exams and summer registration to notice it, or anything else. I saw a letter the other day that the editors of the Schooner received from Edward J. O'Brien, internationally known critic of the short story. He writes from London that he in tends to reprint two stories, taken from the Schooner during the past year, in his anthology of the best short stories of the vear 1930. Since Mr. O'Brien's anthology contains only twenty stories, se lected from the magazines of Amprica, the University of Ne braska may well pride iLsell upon the recognition won by the Schooner. This honor is certainly mer ited, because the Schooner is vastly superior to the usual magazine of its type. Most sim ilar publications of the regional type tend tc concentrate upon one type of material, generally local history, as told Dy old tim ers who "rcmcmocr when." Fortunately, the K hoc net has nice ceded in ste eruiK " this sort of relic pawing, and the editors should le especially com mended upon the freshness wd variety of malum! in the lateM issue, ONE A1M1CLU m the latest Schooner nid some things tint cause nic to rise with a hearty second to th-r motion. This ar ticle is Tsysco Pathological Fic tion" It has a formidable title, I must admit, but. nevertheless, it is a vciy understandable discussion of the present day tendency to se lect human monstrosities as cen tral characters for novels. The author, Mrs. Mccham, feels as I do that present clay literature ceases to present an artistic and balanced conception of life when it emphasizes the monstrous. There is no denying that we have peiverL), morons and abnormal a.ni f nil sorts, but they do not compose the bulk of society, so why neeii iney eiominmr n literMure of the present clay? 9 v w w WHILE ON THE subject of psychology of the wilder sort, let me growl about one of the newest psycho-fads. Some hopeful psychologist that ought to take his talents into some ad vertising firm, has coined the catch phrase "mental hygiene." Just watch this phrase and others like it sweep the country.
