appropriations unless the boys were expelled.

not been officially called to .the attention of

termination of university poises nor the en
forcement of those policies. A board of regents

fairs the regents have rested authority to en
force discipline. Dr. Thompson tries to do it
effectively and also constructively He is con
oerned, ii every case, not only with the i inter
ests of the impersonal institution which he rep
resents, but also with those of the accused
boys and their parents. He has his hands full,

Uid flic legislators have their hands lull,
and ought to leave him alone. There are many
sul.ieci s deserving of their attention. Mince

Vo comment to make. We were thinking
Uu' other day, though, that the theory under
Ivino. such expulsion must be the removal of
-bad influences" for the benefit of the other
.tu.Knts. And we. thought, too, that being hit
wilh a straight-eight roadster in the spare ribs
must heZii much worse influence for a student
than living in the. same city with one or two
men who have been known to take a drink.
( U arly, a financial investigation should be
held, unless every student violator of the traf
fic regulations is promptly booted from school.
University appropriations should undoubtedly
tie withheld until something is done about this
situation also. . .

Control of
The University.
A problem in university supervision and
control Is brought up in today's Morning Mail
column by A Senior. The apparent conflict
of authority between the regents and the legis
lators is the basis of his query for information.
There is, sad to relate, little information to
give him. When legislators intervene in any
way with the administration of the University
of Nebraska, they do so unofficially. Unoffi
cially, but effectively, since they control the
university appropriations.
Undoubtedly, they have some right to dic
tate. They are spending state's money for the
institution, and accordingly should have some
voice in how it is spent.
The regents, however, are elected by the
people of the state, to run the school according
to the views of the majority of the citizens of
Nebraska. The regent's control of the school
is direct and official. The legislature, when it
controls policies of the school, is acting indi
rectly and unofficially.
A protest against thin unofficial intervention
is voiced by the Omaha World Herald, in ita
editorial columns. It continues to exist, nev
ertheless, and probably always shall.
Tbe one basic fault of such a system is that
it makes of the administration agencies mere
lobbyists for appropriation measures wining
to sacrifice this project or that, which they
may deem for the best interests of tbe scuool,
for the sake of securing legislative approval
of university policies, and consequent increases
in appropriations.
This js hardly fair, in view of the fact that
the chancellor and the regents have been se
lected for their respective positions because of
. the fact they are supposed to know a bit more
about the best policies for the university than
the average citizen.
The (joujrageous thing for the administration
and th$ regents to do, clearly, would be to
state thjciri ideas unmistakably concerning fu
ture aitd present, policies for the University
of Nebraska. Then, if appropriations be cut
to the minimum, cut the registration accord
ingly, by a system of rigid entrance examina
tions. .
Wo have no doubt that if the administrative
agencies of this university said what they
thought, and stuck by their guns, appropria
tions would be no less than if they continue
to evade "dangerous" issues, and try by their
every act to please everyone. It can't be done,
uml the legislature as a whole Mill have sense
pnouc-h to realize that fact, and applaud a de
finite stand one way or another.
As a matter of information, do women stu
dents want a swimming pool, and is it possible
to build a pool open to students oi both sexes ;
If not, why not? Will someone please answer
Our gripe today: Waiting for a half hour
at the Temple postoffice to buy a stamp or
mail some laundry, and then coming in late to
class.
Still no Kosmet' cast announced. Surely at
least a few are eligible by this time!
MORNING MAIL
Check and Double Check.
TO THE EDITOR :
Something has been puzzling me. ever since
I enrolled in this university. That is the sys
tem of public control of the school. I just
cannot understand the methods used.
First of all there is the board of regents.
These men are elected by the people of the
state, as I understand it, to regulate and de
vise policies to be followed by the University
of Nebraska. Seemingly, having been elected
by the people of the state, they should be not
averse to running the school in accordance
with the best interests of this state. . .
Then there is the state legislature. This
body provides appropriations for the mainte
nance (and occasionally, the expansion; oi
the university.
So far. so good. But, in addition, both bod
ies seem to mix freely and regularly when it
comes to regulation of policies of the univer
sity. .Both seem to have authority to dictate
what shall be done and what shall not be done
upon the campus. ' The regents, by right of
their position and their election. The legisla
ture, by right of its authority over affairs of
the state, of which the university is a part, but
mainly by right of its control over appropriations.
Say the legislators, "Do this we decide how
much money you can have." Say the adminis
tration agencies, Of course we shall do it.
You decide how much money we can have,
don't you? Of course we shall do it."
The regents then sit sucking their thumbs,
watching this determination of policies, for
which they themselves were elected by the peo
ple of the state.
The university, thus caught between two
authoritative fires frequently contradicting
authorities makes less progress in many lines
than any other university in the whole middle
west. For such a large school, the University
of Nebraska is rather pathetic. Can anything
be done in tegards to this question: Who runs
the school, the regents, elected for that pur
pose, or the legislature, elected for something
else? A SENIOR.
Ah, Ye$!
TO THE EDITOR:
Just a little comment on the recent sugges
tion for the reduction of the number of pages
of The Daily Nebraskan. Why reduce the
pages of our student publication? A school the
size of the University of Nebraska should be
able to supply enough interesting and print
able bits of news to till m these four pages.
My aim as a student is for advancement so
if we don't have copy to fill four pages of
newspaper, why doesn't the critical element
of the student body work, towards getting
more news, instead of wanting to cut down the
number of pages of the paper?
Those four pages may not always be filled
with the best available news, but if the same
amount of energy were expended on getting
more and better news instead of upon criticism
which ia certainly discouraging to hard-working
editors, a great deal of the original cause
for criticism would be removed.
STUDENT.
Quite so. Except possibly that crack about
hard working editors." Now, if some kindly
student will go forth and bite a dog. . . ED.
You Figure Thin One Out!
TO THE EDITOR:
In all probability there is a great amount of
hypocrisy in those above us in our higher in
stitutions of learning. When they, whose wis
dom to the extent of egoism be far above re
proach, run screaming to the law for redress
when their tender feelings are hurt by a
scandal sheet, then even the most liberal of us
young scoundrels are wont to sit back and
laugh at them. SID.
College Comment
Remove Temptations.
1m everv larue eroun of students there ate
those vrbo'will not or cannot keep their hands
off the nroDertv of their neighbors. It in a
deplorable condition and one which has no
ticeably increased ou our campus this semes
ter. Of course, our sympathy goes out to those
who are born kleptomaniacs but their number
is limited. Stealing has been increasing de
spite warnings, and everyone, is cautioned to
helo Drevent its continuation.
.
If students will lock their cars, ana not leave
books in them; if they will be sure that lockers
are properly fastened; and above all, if they
will not trust Providence to guard their valu
ables while they go hither and yon then per
haps the pawnshop will not do such prospering
business.
Besides, stealing at the extent to which it has
been carried, gives a bad nam to the univer
sity. The student body as a whole ia, urged to
co-operate in removing temptation from those
who are too weak to resist. California Daily

Popcorn N ' Peanuts !
By
GEORGE ROUND
No, not a peanut vendor. Not
even an Imitation of No Man's
Land, which would be impossible.
Not even any corn shucks. Nor do
we hide behind the door. Just a lit
tle "hooey" for the 1931 P'armcrs
Fair which comes Saturday, May
2, on the college of agriculture
campus.
Students on tha ag campus or
"farm" as some of the so-called
big men on tho up town campus
are prone to think, are already en
thused over the prospects of hav
ing a successful Farmers Fair this
year. It will be successful.
One funny thing about it ail is
that some of the ,,cakers" from the
city campus look upon the agricul
tural college campus as a place
where "hicks" hang out. Well, per
haps so, but it is the only college
In the University of Nebraska
which actually puts something
across with all of the students par
ticipating. "Fiddle-de-dce! We are over this
depression, and tho 1931 Farmers
Fair will be a success," exclaimed
Prof. H. P. Davis at a recent rally.
Well, professor, we may be over
the depression but why the fiddle-de-doe
?
Without doubt, the first fair ral
ly held a few weeks ago was a
success. Ag hall was crowded with
students anxious to hear about the
plans for tho 1931 dhow. They
heard shout them and now are
.convinced that the show this year
Hrtll be betterthan ever.
It might be Interesting to note
that Myrle White, fair manager, is
a Nebraska track man. It wasn't
so long ago that he competed at
Illinois with Coach Schulte's shut
tle hurdle team to set up a new
meet record. White graduates this
spring and it is intimated that it
wont' be long after that he will bo
hearing the wedding bells jingle.
Fred Gr'au, chairman of the In
tersorority riding contest, has re
quested all entrants to get in touch
with htm immediately. What he
desires -the fair young, coeds for
no one knows. Perhaps he has
something up his sleeve.
Another prominent University
of Nebraska student who has a
place on the junior fair board this
year is Delphian Nash. He is the
present barb faction leader and a
college of agriculture student.
Nash has charge of the promotion
work for the 1931 fair.
The second rally of the year is
scheduled for this Thursday in Ag
hall. Given as big a turnout as two
weeks ago, it should be a success.
The farm boys and girls will be
"whooping" it up for the fair.
Though comparatively small in
number, they make a lot more
noise than the Nebraska cheering
section at football games.
DRAMATIC CLUB
PLANS GIFT TO
STUDENT UNION
; (Continued From Page 1)
The winner of these plays will be
determined by the audience who
will signify their choice on the
stub of a double ticket obtained for
entrance. The winner will receive
a $25 cash prize. "Wurtzel Flum
mery," a royalty play, will also
be staged with the two original
productions. , ,
Include Curtains..
In addition to the plays, three
curtain, acts will be offered. They
will consist of an acrobatic dance
by Lenevive Boyd, who took a
leading role in one of the skits
given in the Kosmet Klub's
Thanksgiving morning review, a
musical comedy skit by Frank
Sherman, Russ Lindskog and Jane
Wickersham, and a tap number
by Marge Pope. Sherman is one
of the triumverates who composed
the music for "High and Dry,"
Kosmet Klub's spring production.
And as the ticket sales go on,
the productions are rapidly taking
form in clean, dramatic, enjoyable
entertainment.

tree is thus very conspicuous
about the middle of March.
Golden Bell Blooms.
"Another woody plant, not really
a trca but a shrub, is the golden
bell. Several of these, now begin
ning to flower, are growing on the
north side of Bessey hall. Others
may be found south of Memorial
hall."
Dr. Pool said there were rela
tively few trees really native to
Nebraska, and these are mostly
confined to the eastern end of the
state. Those now familiar in this
locality have mostly been carried
from somewhere else. The se
vere climatic and soil conditions
characteristic of this area make
this situation, and as a result our
trees wage a fierce struggle for
existence and are all more or less
stunted in growth. The cotton
wood is a notable exception to this
rule, and is probably the most dis
tinctive tree of the prairie states.
This tree was planted throughout
tha state by the pioneers, dui k
does not seem to be a popular
ornament for campus decoration.
