as a weans of relieving the depreii

that such a move at this time
would bo disastrous to the finan
cial condition of the country.
Charles K. Mitchell, board chair
man of the National City bank of
New York, declared that a $3,500,
000,000 United States bond issue
to pay off the adjusted service
certificates would ttuido LuiiuicJ
of bank failures throughout the
land.
Observers presumed that the

issue probably could not he sold;

Mr. Young differed from his
banking friends in that he favored

"Thev hold our promises to pay;
they need money now. They of all
people should not be lett in want.
We must approach the problem
with a determination to do them
not only justice, hut more."
The financial magnate estimated
that 30 percent of veleians need
financial htlp, 10 per cent were
financial help, 10 percent were
victims, and 10 per cent suffered
from diminished Incomes.
The upshot of the investigation,
and the opinions voiced by Mr.
Young, have resulted in the fram
ing of a. bill which .seems certain
lilei
it successful or disastrous.
Considering the fact that we intend to d-J
our best to sec that campaign promises are
eiii-ried oat and not evaded, however, the
winning faction today may regret its victory.
Platforms, though couched in the most evasive
and anmiguous or icinis. iieteimcn-sri "u"Nim
t h.fiwt tli.it the faction is nromisinir to do
certain things.
If the victorious group today be the Blue
Shirts, we shall expect them :
1. To ACT immediately in the matter of
a union building-; to collect or secure pledg-es,
and aid the early organization of a drive for
subscriptions.
2. To ACT immediately in the matter of
senior class memorial gifts to the university;
planning an appropriate gift and raising
funds to meet its cost.
3. To ACT immediately in the matter of
levering admission prices to major university
social events. (Thoug-h not stated specific
ally in the platform just what events this
includes, we understand it will include the
Junior-Senior Prom.)
While there were many more words in the
plalform. wc eould under no circumstances
construe them as including any specific action
:t all. The faction will do well, however, to
cany out the three specific promises outlined
above. '
If the victorious faction today be the Yel
lowjackets. we shall expect them:
1. To ACT immediately in the matter of
a union building ; to collect or secure pledges,
and aid the early organization of a drize for
subscriptions.
2. To ACT immediately in an endeavor to
lift the ban on tobacco advertising- for stu
dent publications.
3. To ACT immediately in an effort to in
clude a student activities tax in the regular
university fees. (Such a tax, properly ad
ministered, says the platform, would reduce
the cost of these activities, while entitling;
the student to admission to all athletic events,
other events of general interest, and to copies
of ail stuaent publications.)

uncomfortable barn, but does it necessarily fol

barn-yard manners? It has been frequently
pointed out in these columns ihat. many of our
students fail to observe the most elementary
rudiments of conventional decorum. I. too,
want to register my opinion a.? one "who views
with alarm and disgust" the lack of good

more than crack basketball teams and gaudy

Fractions in congress finally
patched up their differences and
arranged a compromise drouth re
lief bill of $20,000,000 which was
passed and to which President
Hoover signed his name last week.
This money is primarily to be
used for loans to finance spring
crops and general stock and farm
improvement. In cases where it Is
deemed necessary, however, money
from this fund may be used for
the purchase of food and clothing
to alleviate suffering.
In his Lincoln Memorial address
President Hoover spoke of his op
position to the senate plan of
drouth relief in favor of the Red
Cross drouth relief program. In ef
fect the president said that when
any community shifts its responsi
bilities to Washington, particularly
in social and economic problems,
this community subjects itself to a
"remote bureaucracy with its min
imum of understanding and sym
pathy." Such a drift to centralized
government may be resisted by a
sense and an organization of self
help and co-operation to solve as
many problems as possible outside
of the government. Air. Hoover de
clared the nation can take pride
in the effective work of thousands
of voluntary organizations.
In much the same tenor Mr.
Hoover issued a statement to the
press saying: "This is not an issue
as to whether people shall go
hungry and cold. It is a question
as to whether the American peo
ple will maintain the spirit of
charity and mutual self help. If
the time should ever come that the
voluntary agencies of the country
are unable to find resources with
which to prevent hunger and suf
fering, I will ask every aid of
every resource of the federal gov
ernment. ... I have faith such a
day will not come."
The Metropolitan Opera com
pany preFenled its thirteenth at
tempt in its search to find a good
m.,i:iv T'r.ited States opera wnn u
showed to its patrons for the firs
time last week, "Peter Ibbetson.
This production was the work of
Joseph Deems Taylor, and was the
second opera of his to be produced
at the Metropolitan. The first was
"The King's Henchman." Much of
tho credit for this work has gone,
however, to Edna St. Vincent Mil
lay who wrote the libretto.
Mr. Taylor holds the distinction
of being the only American com
poser to be given a scuonu um""

Miss Tufts thlnss a general arts
and sciences course would make
ROod background for a journalist,
but that most Journalistic courses
would be just as beneficial, ftiie
said that statistics show that 71
percent of the students from tho
school of journalism at Nebraska
are well placed In journalistic po
sitions, an example which shows
the success of students with joiu
nRlistic training. She explained
this exceptional success by the fact
that this university offers a
broader, better balanced journalis
tic course than many schools do.

17 per cent from five to ten thou

cent over ten thousand dollars. Ad
vertising is very interesting work,
for it is being written today in a
clever, human interest style.
"Many women find work in pub
lishing houses very appealing. The
best way, perhaps, for anyone to
learn all about a newspaper is to
own and publish one, and a great
raany women edit small country
papers. Teaching of Journalism in
high schools is becoming more
usual; however, the wages in this
field are not nearly as good as
those in advertising."
According to Miss Tufts, it is
not essential that a woman prac

ing a specialized type of journal
istic work. A person desires to be
a dramatic critic should take a
dramatic course, she declared, this
f'eld of journalism is limited. One
planning to be a columnist should
have originality and native ability.
There is a big field,- however, for
those interested in feature writing,
she added.
Newswriting More Difficult.
"As for regular newswriting, it
is harder, takes more time, pays
lower salaries, and offers less op
portunity for advancement than
