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

I repeat my previous contention:
"This is an educational instittlon
and not an establishment for moral
correction.
W. T. 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. It is possl-

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

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.
