MINISTER FLATS INNOCENTS GROUP IN SMOKING BILL (Continued from Page 1.1 like the university regulations, but as an honor man, is he not under obligation to gracefully ac cept them? "One further word might not be out of place regarding these honor men who represent the Innocents," continues Rev. Fawell, "Recently a man who is not a stranger on the campus saw the Innocents in ac tion. Dressed in the robes of the devil, as represented in a by-gone age, they were singing between the purrs of cigarette smoke, 'Cheer, Cheer, the Gang's All Here.' It la needless to sav that legislators have some basis for meager In vestments In education of Ne bra ska's youth if these honor men represent the student body." McCfeery Answers. McCleery, in answer to Rev, Fawell's charges gave The Ne- braskan the following statement: ' "Reverend Fawell remarks: ". . may not like the university regu latlons, but as an honor man, is he not under obligation to gracefully accept them?' If the people of this nation had proceeded on that theory of graceful acceptance of an rules, I wonder what we could find to celebrate on the Fourth of July. I was asked my personal opinion on the advisability of a legislative decree against smoking in university buildings. I pro nounced It "impractical, impos slble and ridiculous.' If it were passed, I should obey the law but I consider it a silly rule to en ter on our already bulging statutes and as if I may borrow Mr. Fa well's term an 'honor man,' I feel obligated to protest against an ac tion which will make collegians more hypocritical than they now are. "As for the Innocents singing Cheer, Cheer, the Gang's All Here' someone must have been peeking. The "Man who is not a stranger on the campus" must have been looking through rose colored glasses, however, for we do not wear the "robes of the devil" during such informal gath erings. , "We admit our obligations try to obey regulations but we have Hosiery and Gloves are Important Accessories If you're seriously consid ering attending a pHn? party this week mkI--you'll want a new pair of hose.

McCleery." Criticize Faculty. Rev. Fawell, however, went further than to criticize the state ments of the students. Concern ing faculty members, he says: "A word relative to a few faculty members on the subject may be of value. Some months ago a promi nent faculty member of the uni versity was standing in the hall of a Lincoln Civic club, smoking a cigarette. Three business men observed the gentleman smoking. They were all smokers, but they did not approve of smoking on the part of the educator. Later this man was considered among a num ber of prospective candidates as chancellor of an outstanding uni versity. He was not ele?Led to the position because the commit tee did not want a smoker as chancellor." Becoming a bit more specific Rev. Fawell addressed the follow ing statement to Prof. H. F. Cun ningham, head of the department of architecture, who also gave a Dally Nebraskan reporter a state ment of his opinion of the pro posed legislation against smoking in university buildings. "Professor Cunningham declared that he was smoking now in oppo sition to a regent's rule against smoking and that he intended to continue even If a legislative meas ure was passed against it. He has carried the principle of personal liberty too far. No professor in the employ of the state has a right to order the signs, 'No Smok ing Allowed by order Fire Marsh all,' taken down. Such defiance of the law on the part of the fac ulty members seriously embar rasses the university when it seeks the consideration of legislators on the basis of actual need. Coach Schulto and his tradi tional cigar are also included in Rev. Fawell's letter. Ho writes, "It may be difficult for the legis lature to separate Coach Schulte and his cigar, but when this cigar becomes of more importance than the university, it is far better to sacrifice the cigar than the uni versity!" Denounces "Smoking Den." According to him, "The present quarters of the 'Daily Nebraskan' and the Cornhusker are not as commodious as they might be, but they do serve quite satisfactorily as smoking aens. xt is not unreas onable for the legislators to refuse to appropriate money to build finer smoking dens for either fac ulty members or students." Rev. Fawell concludes his letter by writing, "There is a real oppor tunity for every alumnus, friend, and student of the university to render a real service to our school, I had occasion recently to repre sent the religious life of the uni versity in one of our larger west ern towns. I had with me a group of University of Nebraska stu dents who were . a real credit to any school. I attempted to make the point that they were more or less a cross-section of our student body. The man to whom I was speaking said, 'Don't try to put anything like that across. You don't know what you are talking about. I will take you out into this community and point out forty almnt from the university who are nothing but parasites. They are cigarette fiends and Sun day golfers and totally lacking in any senses of responsibility to this community.' "In the interest of the university we should accept the obligations, respect the law, and obey the rules as readily as we accept the university privileges.

OKLAHOMA UNION MAN AGER DESCRIBES BUILD ING AS POPULAR CAM PUS SPOT. (Continled from Page 1.) $000,000.00 was pledged to the fund. Most of these pledges were to be payable over a period of five years. As soon as funds were available one wing of our stadium was completed. Every Student Asked, About the latter part of 192T it became apparent that sufficient funds would not be secured from pledges to complete the stadium and to build an adequate union building. It was then decided that if the students of the university wanted a union building in the near future It would be necessary for all studenuKenrolled to contrib ute something to the project. After an intensive campaign by the lead ing students in this movement an election was held, at which a stu dent union fee of $2.50 per semes ter was voted. Subsequently the board of regents of the university, following the expressed desires of the students, authorized the col lection of this fee. The income from the fee on this basis is, ap proximately $25,000 per year. The union building contains a large, beautiful ball room, offices and meeting rooms for various student organizations, a large lounge room, which is unfinished but partially furnished, the alumni office, the office of the Y. M. C. A. and student employment bureau, and the follov'ng departments which are classed as commercial: cafeteria, soda fountain, billiard room and newstand. In addition to the above, the university main tains six class rooms and two of fices In one wing of the building, which is not completed. This is a temporary arrangement and the university will virat this wing in the building as soon as funds are available to complete it for use for its original purpose. Have General Manger. The building In its present stage of completion, cost $237,000, and the equipment cost $51,000. The commercial operations are oper ated under the direction of a gen eral manager, and the proceeds are all paid to the Stadium Union Memorial fund, and at the pres ent time are required to meet the monthly peyments on equipment. Our union has had a rather stormy career. In view of its con venient location, and Bomewhat lower prices, the commercial oper ations have taken some business away from nearby campus mer chants. Shortly after the union opened a few students signed a pe tition and endeavored to get an in junction to prevent the university from collecting the union fee. The court held that the fee is legal, but Place Your Orders NOW No- Deposit Pay When the case has been appealed, and Is now pending In the supreme court. Things went along quietly until the first of this year the same ob jectors got a resolution through the state senate providing for an investigation of our union, claim ing that it was a "private corpor ation" doing business on the uni versity campus in competition to local merchants. The hearings on this investigation have been com pleted and we are confident that our union has been cleared of all Bpurlous charges. The trouble we have had Is not due, except In Isolated and excep tional cases, to student opposition, but comes almost entirely from nearby campus merchants. For ex ample, the president of the men's council, the president of the wom en's council, vice president of the men's council, the editor of the Daily, the president of the Y. W. C. A., the president of the senior law class testified wholeheartedly In favor of the union and strongly endorsed its purposes and its man agement. Our faculty and students are highly In favor of .the union Idea and I am sure you will derive much benefit from similar facilities.
