Says Nebraska Still Loses
Teachers Because of
Low Salaries.
GOVERNOR NOT PRESENT
University is Host to 400
Law Makers at Dinner '
on Farm Campus. ;
i Before more than 400 state leg
islators and members of the uni
versity faculty at the third bien
nial legislative dinner given by the
university to the state law makers
in the Student Activities building
last night, Chancellor E. A. Bur
nett stressed the financial need
arising from its continual growth,
of the university, in outlining the
appropriations recommendations
made by the board of regents to
Gov. C. W. Bryan on Jan. fi.
The chancellor recounted how
Nebraska has lost many of the
best of her faculty men to other
universities because the university
appropriations had not allowed it
to pay them salaries equal to those
which they coum aemana eise
where .This loss of the better fac
ulty members has been somewhat
less during the last four years
than formerly according to the
chancellor, but still continues to
some extent.
Attendance Increases.
During the last ten years, stated
Chancellor Burnett, the attendance
at the university has increased 33
percent while the appropriations
for its operation have been in
creased only 22 percent and of this
amount only 17 percent has been
for instructional purposes. Because
of this the chancellor maintained
the university is becoming increas
ingly Inadequate to the educational
needs of the state.
He described the way in which
the university budget is made up,
stressing the fact that it has been
trimmed to the limit before sub
mission to the governor and that
to further cut it down would be
detrimental to the interests of the
state Itself. He stated that, the
i-ecommendations submitted to Mr.
Bryan are only one-half of the
amount recommended by the
deans of the colleges of the uni
versity in their budget estimates.
Community Singing.
Following the dinner, which was
served at 6 o'clock, Theodore Diers
led In community singing of sev
eral songs. Immediately afterward,
Dr. G. E. Condra led the faculty,
the senate and the house of repre
sentatives In a cheering contest
and declared the house the win
ner.
Chancellor Burnett introduced
those seated at the speakers' table
including Regents Taylor, Marsh,
Long and Stokes, Lieutenant Gov
ernor Metcalfe, Secretary of State
Marsh, L. E. Gunderson, L. F. Sea
ton. Charles W. Taylor, state su
perintendent of public instruction,
and Judge Radke, private secre
tary to Governor Bryon, who was
there in the absence of the gov
ernor who was unable to attend.
Burnett Praised.
Taylor, new president of the
board of regents spoke briefly in
praise -.of work of Chancellor Bur
nett in the interests of the univer
sity since becoming chancellor. He
also mentioned Nebraska's loss of
instructors to richer institutions
because of the lack of financial
resources.
Three university bulletins, "A
Primer of Facts." giving informa
tion on the university. "Better
Farming for Nebraska." outlining
the work of the college of agricul
ture in the interests of Nebraska
agriculture, and then detailed re
commendations for university ap
propriations by the board of re
gents to Governor Bryan were
mentioned.
An orchestra of fine arts stu
dents directed by Billy Quick,
played during the dinner.

OF
Students Using Last Year
Photos Must Arrange
At Studios.
PROOFS TO BE CHOSEN
Closing limit for photograph
for the junior-senior, and fratern
ity-sorority sec tions of the 1931
Cornhusker has been set at
o'clock this afternoon, Kenneth
Gammill, editor, declared yester
flay.
"It behooves any student who
wishes a place in thU year's year
book to hurry down to Hauck s or
Townsend s today and take advan
tage of this final appoortunity,"
the editor aserted. "Although we
will fall short of the goal which
we had hoped to reach we are un
able to extend the time limit any
longer. We are going to begin
work on the panels immediately
in order that they may be sent to
the publishers who will get under
way with work on the publication.'
Arrange for Repeats.
There seems to lie a misunder
standing among some students to
the effect that, their last year's
photos will be automatically placed
in the yearbook, the editor pointed
out. This is a mistaken concep
tion. he said, for if last year's pic
tures are to be used again this
year they must go to the studio at
which it was taken and deposit a
dollar for that purpose.
"After this week end," Gammill
announced, "there will be no pic
tures taken of anyone by anybody,
This is absolutely the last oppor
tunity to obtain a place in the new
Cornhusker. We have bent every
effort in behalf of the student
bodv in order to give everyone
ample opportunity to get their
photograph. We have now reached
the point where further delay is
impossible.
All Droofs must be returned to
the studios by Wednesday, Jan
21 according to the editor. If
they are not returned by that date
the photographers will go ahead
and pick the negative which they
consider best ana develop a pic
ture from it.
SCANDINAVIAN CLUB
Says Sturdy Nordic Stock
Has Done Much io
Aid U. S. Farming.
"Scandinavian Contribution to
American Civilization," was the
subject of the address given by
Assistant Professor Lester B. Or-
field of the law . school, to the
Scandinavian club last Tuesday
evenine in the Temple theater.
"Although the total population
of the Scandinavian countries does
not exceea 13,000,000, there are in
this country some 3,000,000 per
sons of Scandinavian descent," ac
cording to Professor Orfield. Min
nesota, Illinois, Wisconsin ana
Iowa claim the largest number.
Nebraska has about 100.000. of
whom about 60,000 are of Swedish
descent. 30,000 of Danish descent,
and 10.000 of Norwegian descent."
Chicago, according to popula
tion, has been called the fourth
Scandinavian city of the world and
1'inneapolis the sixth. The better
economic conaitions in uenmarK
account for the relatively small
Danish element. Sweden with a
much larger population has sent
more immigrants than Norway
or Denmark.
Good Farmers.
The Scandinavians were largely
instrumental in developing agri
culture on the western plains. The
Swedes have especially distin
guished themseves in the skilled
industrial arts of the city. A
somewhat larger proportion of the
Norwegians prefer country life.
The names of many men of the
Scandinavian descent in law. poli
tics and fine arts were cited by Dr.
Orfield. '
Works of imagination constitute
one of the most important of Scan
dinavian contributions. In the field
of modern literature there are
such names as Ibsen. Bjornson,
Strindberg, Lagerlof, Hans Ander
son, and George Brandes. The
novels of the Norwegian-American
Rolwaag, are among the best (tell
ers in America. He is professor of
Norwegian literature In St. Olof's
college, the school of A Capella
choir fame.
Besides enriching America with
their sturdy stock, the Scandina
vian people have contributed to
America their skill in the agricul
tural arts, the impact of their ad
venturous and pioneering spirit,
and the works of their creative
imagination in literature and the
fine arts.

Student Describes
Viewing Miles Of Nebraska Prairie
From New State CapitoYs Tower
BY JAMES FULTON.
Strictly speaking, the height of ambition of inanv h univer
sity' student is to view the Nebraska panorama from the tower
of the new capitol which is visible against the landscape from
everywhere in and near Lincoln. An exploration of this great
building, already justly famous
perience well worth while, especially if it culminates in a
lourney upward in that tower. o
Symbol of greatness! Majestic
splendor! The gigantic spike of a
state's ideal rearing high above a
boun'" as expanse of rich prairie!
In this manner the capitol build
ing of Nebraska, combining the
vertical splendor of an ambition
with the horizontal broadness of
power and wealth, epitomizes the
worth of the state.
Vision From Above.
This is the vision mortals get
from our ordinary plane the flat
prairie. But the view is much
more enhanced when gained from
the opposite dimension the sum
mit or this vertical tower. Prob
ably everyone in the city has a de
sire to look far out and down from
the little balcony surrounding the
peak; several may even have tried
to do this. Probably the first real
ization of ' this ambition came
about yesterday when officials re
lented sufficiently to allow two

BURNETT'S LETTER
University Accomplishments
In 1930 Are Cited by
By Chancellor.
ASKS FOR IMPROVEMENT
January issues of the Nebraska
Alumnus which is being mailed
out today features the article "A
New Year's Letter" written by
Chancellor E. A. Burnett.
The chancellor outlines the ac
complishments made by the uni
versity during the past year, in
spite of the period of economic re
adjustment which the country has
been going through. Quoting from
the article he says, "In the year
just passed we have improved
somewhat the status of our fac
ulty, we have widened the scope of
the department of architecture, we
have provided freshmen advisers,
we have purchased the school of
music, which is still to be paid for
out of earnings, and we have pro
vided the faculty more favorable
conditions for graduate study
through a plan of sabbatical leave.
Seek Fuller Realization.
While these movements have
been started, they are not yet
fully effective and may still be
looked upon as objectives for
which we seek fuller realization."
The chancellor also shows the
increase made in student enroll
ment since 1921, whereas the in
crease in appropriations for educa
tional purposes and special activi
ties has been proportionately less.
Other stories in the current is
sue, include an article on the Kan
sas union building, which is one
of a series to be printed in the
Alumnus. The possibility of a
union building at Nebraska was
discussed by alumni during Round
Up last June.

STUDENTS DECLARE
Survey Reveals Opinion
That Drinking Is
Increasing.
Crystallizing the concensus of
student leaders from college cam
puses of all sections of the coun
try, the answers to a questionnaire
presented by the student opinion
committee of the sixth annual con
gress of the National Student fed
eration, headed by Lewis Powell of
Washington and Lee university,
drew national attention from the
press.
A summary of the poll evinced
the face that 57 believed that "col
lege drinking" was increasing, 47
thought that it was remaining
static, 16 believed it decreasing,
while no one felt it had been elimi
nated. Student ieaction in the
questionnaire on prohibition was
consistent with this trend of
thought, since 66 favored modi
fication, 38 voted for repeal and
23 endorsed rigid enforcement.
Tariff Inquiry Made.
Reaction to the tariff problems
which was the topic of considera
tion under the national and inter
national aspect of the program
was clearly brought out in the
poll. Seventy-seven voted for
moderate protective tariff with 21
favoring free trade and 25 remain
ing undecided. Moreover, in an
swer to the question. "Is there
any fundamental difference be
tween the socalled platforms of
the two major political parties?"
71 voted no with 33 believing the
affirmative. On the desirability
of a third party and government
ownership of public utilities the
vote was split.
The questionnaire further
brought out that the bulk of the
student leaders present favor
United States taking a position of
world leadership in the cause of
disarmament, and the adherence to
the world court on the basis of the
Root formula. While a great num
ber favored United States' recog
nition of soviet Russia if a settle
ment of debts could be reached by
the two governments, almost half
cf those voting were undecided.
Approval of unemployment insur
ance and disapproval of the "dole
system" were brought out in the
survey.
STATE
ABOUT
ENFORCED DRILL
Kelly, Faulkner Dislike Idea
But Say Council Not
Concerned.
WINSTON BEHN SILENT
Stan Day Neutral; Detrick,
Lawlor In Favor of
Compulsion.
The question of compulsory mili
tary drill seems to be gaining mo
mentum from a number of inter
views obtained by The Nebraskan
yesterday afternoon. Six represen
tative students were questioned
concerning their stand on the mat
ter and in only one case did one of
them declare himself undecided.
The main sentiment seemed to be
concerned with the issues of
whether or not drill had a harmful
effect on those students who took
it, and whether the Student coun
cil would be able to represent the
opinion of the student body as a
whole by voting on the question.
Views Vary.
Exactly opposite points of view
were expressed in the various stu
dent replies. Some thought drill
beneficial as well as lustifiable
while others believed it might be
justifiable but it was certainly not
Denenciai. bcui another group of
thought represented comrjulsorv
drill as a thing which should be
done away because it had no place
as a required snbiect on a univer
sity curriculum.
Winston Behm, cadet colonel of
the local R. O. T. C. unit had no
statement to make.
Edwin Faulkner, iunior member
of the Student council has the fol
lowing statement to make con
cerning his reaction toward the
problem of compulsory military
drill as related to the students on
this campus:
I feel that compulsory military
science is neither a great benefit
nor a great harm to those students
who take it. I do not believe that it
reates a military frame of mind
in students. It does the student no
particular good but neither does
it do him any harm. It is a. mntrn.
versial issue and since it is before
the student body I believe the Stu
dent council would only be acting
within its right bv takinir formal
action on the question."
Lawior Likes It
Charles Lawlor, who was last
year captain of comnanv "A" hp.
lieves that compulsory military
science is perfectly all right.
"Conditions the world over
make it necessary for the United
States to provide certain defense
measures," Lawlor said. "History
shows that this country has never
been adequately prepared for war.
While I am not a militarist I do
not believe that the possibilities of
another war should be minimized
by pacifists who .want complete
disarmament. And since I believe
that we should not be caught de
fenseless again and since I believe
compulsory military science is do
ing much to instill a spirit of pre
paredness I favor the present sys
tem of military science."
Day Indifferent.
Stanley Day, major of the First
battalion in the R. O. T. C. regi
ment expresses a neutral point of
view toward the question.
"It makes no particular differ
ence to me whether or not drill is
compulsory," Day asserted. "While
I believe that we would have
much better military units if drill
were made elective I am also sure
that they would be a great deal
smaller. Personally I would have
taken military science whether it
were compulsory or not but I
know that in many instances that
would not be the case. Drill
teaches a certain co-ordination of
mind and muscle but as far as its
contributions toward physical de
velopment are concerned' I believe
that they are practically nil. As
far as Student council action on
the matter is concerned I do rKt
feel that a vote of the council
