Norman Galleher Jck Thompson Edwin Faulkner .MEMBER, 19 J I This paper i itrrteented for (Mitral advertising By lot jneonaKt ii Association. Stealing From Peter To Pay Paul Nebraska's .-ouate, august legislative loly, believes in advertising, believes in it whole heartedly, it seems. At least that branch of the legislature saw lit Wednesday to advance a bill calling for a ?40,000 Appropriation for Nebraska's exhibit at the next World's Fair. Incidentally, the figure was raised to that amount by amend ment in the senate, after the house bad voted a K1 5,000 appropriation for the same purpose. The increase from $15,000 to S4O.00O, then, seems clearly to indicate that the senate does lielieve in advertising. If not, why was the iimouut increased? But, in today's Morning Mail column, Oscar raises a question as to the worth of the adver lisiug media which the senate has choseu. lie indicates, in vitriolic terms, that maybe the solons have made a mistake. "For." be says, Advertising our commonwealth is undoubt ed lv a laudable aim, but when it is done at the expense of needed additions to the plaut of the state universitv, it somehow loses its glamour. His phrase, "at the expense of needed addi imiis 10 the plant of the state university.' se-nis to smack of question, at least. Uc sees in ihe S25.000 raise by the senate a move to vive to a World's Fair exhibit money which is badly needed by this institution. And rightly, inn, we believe. 1 1 is a fact, as Oscar points out, that the I niveisiiv of Nebraska is losing five members ,.f its fac'ultv this year because of inability to pay ihem sufficient salaries to keep thein here. I I is a fact, as Oscar points out, that some per sons in the efete east choose to look on Ne braska graduates as still more or less unedu cated. Iiv pointing out these facts, Oscar drives home his opinion that money spent on the state universiiv would be a far more ellective and far more" lasting advertisement than an excess r ii.oiK-v spent on au exhibit at the ovh Fair He declares that solos would do better t,i spend the money, and more too. in putting ,,is great institution of higher learning on a par with others. To all this, our answer is, most emphatically, ves. Wliv, let us arise and ask, .must 50.000 riiisr the price of a good swimming pool) be v pent ou a AVorld's Fair exhibit, when the bene liis to be derived are transitory in the extreme . AVhv wouldn't it be better to put such money into the lump sum appropriated for the uiuver sirv lor the next two years, with ihe lacit un derstanding that it be used to increase profes sors' salaries when necessary to hold good men, something of the kind . Admittedly, money is tight this year. Hut. v make the university, tuc one iuui...

The concert, Disgruntled says, disrupted philosophy, history, economics and classes in the other social sciences Wednesday morning. In fact, most of ihose on the north side of the building were dismissed. We are glad to lear that there are still some such students left, hat some still remain who feel classes and lectures more important than unearned vacations. We are glad to learn that at least one is here for an education, rather than n protracted loafing spell. What with spring fever already taxing many beyond endurance, with all outdoors beckoning to the unwary, with 'caking' se Ar son open for sure, it is bad enough to go to classes now, without having several lusty lunged gentlemen disport themselves with trombones, cornets, brass horns, and whatnot under the classroom window. May we suggest that if the band master finds practice necessary that he pick out some hour other than those during which classes are held to put his charges thru their paces? As Dis gruntled says. "We howl our heads off when Dr. Lyman's dogs bark a little." MORNING MAIL horn blowers to disrupt important classes ou. normal dav is almost too much. ', ! ' Are these parades important enough to de serve the center of "our academic stage at the! exiiense of lectures? Just what educational contribution the military department makes is beyond me. I'll admit. Granting that it does offer something, though,, is it enough 1o push philosophy, history, economics., and other so cial sciences out of the picture? We cry 'our "eyes' out when Dr. Lyman's dogs bark a little." How about calling off the music masters during business hours at good old Ne braska university? DISGRUNTLED.

And now. pursuing another tack may we say a few words apropos of the state senate's pro nosal to increase Nebraska's World Fair ap propriation from 15.000 to $40,000. We may be wrong, out it seems to tins ousener inai me senate is only robbing Feter to pay Haul.

And another thing, to revert to tne nrsi .li Five urofessors have recently resigned from the faculty of the school because of the state's "inability" to increase their com pensation. Mere not saying that an teacners who go to higher salaried positions are worm more than they were paid here, but many of them are. And if the few who do mUl value to an education at Nebraska leave, what will be left ? The worthy legislators howl that it is iru ruii;ilp in Micinl more on education at the Universitv of Nebraska. And they then turn their backs and surreptitiously propose spend ing S40.000 on a Nebraska exhibit at the Chi cago AVorld's Fair. Yes economize on building appropriations and salarv appropriations, but by all means do not fail io prepare for a $10,000 advertisement at the World's Fair.

EDTTOIJ : Now lhat it is the time of year when lads and lassies cake in the latest spring spoil wear, and the family battleship is back on the street in all its rlorv after sneudiiiff the winter in the seclusion of the family garage, the parking sit uation on the campus is worse man ever ik--i'ore. During the cold wiutery days (all lliree of themi we didn't gripe much about having to walk a matter of three or four blocks after parking the old whoopee. Hut now that spring is here and it is much easier to idle about in the car between classes than it is to study, parking has become more than a mere problem to be dismissed with a shrug and a few casual remarks directed at those drivers who delight in parking 1 heir car so that it occupies the space that two should. In fact, the situation has almost reached a climax for this particular car driver in the past iwo days. Yesterday morning we were sixteen and a half minutes late to a ten o'clock class after having spent twenty minutes find ing a parking place. We know it was sixteen and a half minutes to the dot for an irate prof took out bis watch and informed us so! After leaving the class, we discovered that, the rear bumpers extended into a "no parking" zone, for Ihere was a nice ticket from the campus cop telling us so! This morning, not wishing to take the chance of another ticket, we allowed a friend to get a bit of air in the whoopee while we absorlied our morning's coffee and roll. Usually our breakfast can be consumed in the space of five or six minutes. This morning it took three cups of corfee, two rolls and several cigarettes merelv because the friend, unknown to us. had a mild attack of spring fever, a girl, and t yen to visit the wide oicn spacer, where they could spring means something more than budding trees and chirping robins!

Hut tor ine Forecast for Fraternities, Our sympathy goes to the newly elected presidents of campus fraternities who were "honored" by their brothers at meetings held Monday or Tuesday of this week. Theirs is the burden of directing Wisconsin fraternities through what should prove a perilous if not fatal vear. At least two problems created within the last year, together with one which has been slowly developing for a long time, threaten their organizations. The first difficulty which fraternities will have to face this year arises from the general financial depression, which undoubtedly will force many incoming freshmen to greater economies than those of their fellows two or three years back. One of the first economies will naturally be either to defer pledging or not to pledge at all. Fraternities experienced this situation last fall and are certain to meet it. againand they need pledges more nauiy than at any time .in recent yenrs. ' A more permanently serious problem, how ever, is the 1.3 scholastic requirement for en trance into the junior class. Fraternities are having considerable difficulty at present in keeping their pledges in school and that with a,simple one-point requirement. With the new ruling, they can no longer build a large pledge class of well-to-do playboys; they will have to select fresbrnpn eppflbl of rusintsiniinr the higher average at leRst for the first two years. A third difficulty confronting the social fra ternities this year is the result of a gradual change in the attitude of freshmen. The con temporary freshman, whose brother of four or five years ago was meek and eager, is cool and inquisitive. He knows his own value. He sus pects flattery, looks at fraternities more clearly than has perhaps any group of first year students since the anti-fraternity feeling of a quarter-century or so ago. The final effect will certainly be a redefini tion of pledging standards, a new emphasis upon scholastic achievement as opposed to playboyism, polities and football. The frater nities should thank the university authorities who have forced the redefinition upon them but for these next two or three years, in which the difficult adjustment to new standards will be made, fraternity men are certain to be faced by a problem which will require of them more common sense, foresight, and careful planning than anything that has descended upon ihem in recent years. Fraternity men Mho sincerely believe lhat fraternities are of positive value in the college scheme should consider themselves lucky if they are graduating this June. Wisconsin Daily Cardinal. OF J Kansas Faculty Members Will Discuss New Organization. BRANCH TO GIVE SPEECH LAWRENCE, Kan. Organiza tion of a Junior Academy of Science to do for science teachers in junior colleges and high schools of Kansas what the Kansas Acad emy of Science does for the faculty members and graduate students of the colleges and universities, is ex pected to result from meetings in connection with the Kansas acad emy meeting at the University of Kansas, April 23 to 25. The presidential address of Hazel E. Branch, of Wichita uni versity .president of the Kansas academy, will relate to the aims and opportunities of a junior acad emy of science. Prof. N. H. Rudio, of Hays high school, will be tem porary chairman of the junior academy meeting. Start Thursday. The general sessions of the academy start Thursday evening with an illustrated lecture on the Grand Teton national park, and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, by A. C. Lyon, a guide. Friday morning will be devoted to general papers, and Friday afternoon there will be section meetings for biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and the Junior Academy of Science. Friday evening there will be a banquet in the university cafeteria at which an address of welcome will be givpn by Chancellor E. H. Lindley, and the presidential ad dress will be given by Hazel E. Branch. At 8 o clock Friday eve ning an address: "The work of the United States bureau of stand ards," will be given by general papers and business matters for this sixty-second annual meeting of the academy will be taken up.

Invitations will pro bably be issued to all journalism students and others who are tak ing subjects In the school's curri culum, while tickets and other arrangements will be under the direction of Sigma Delta Chi and Theta Sigma Phi, women's hono rary Journalistic society. The first affair of this kind was held last year in an effort to stimu late fraternal relations between journalism students, and foster a spirit of friendliness among mem bers of the school. More com plete announcements of prepara tions for this year's play-day will be made immediately following spring vacation, McCleery stated. Traveler: "Did you find a ion" containing $50 under my pillow?" Pullman Porter: "Yes, suh: thank you suh." Washington Dirge. lHayseed and Haywire" By i 1 GEORGE ROUND f Prof. H. J. Gramlich of the agri cultural college confides to me that he has founded a new organization. Some University of Nebraska stu dents have beard of 4-H clubs, but now Gramlich believes he has a new one. His club is to be known as the 5-H club. The letters stand for "hell how he hates himself." Perhaps the club should get going on the uptown campus. There are many students eligible for mem bership. You don't have to know any thing to belong to the 5-H club. Just think a lot of yourself and no one else. Your scholastic aver age doesn't have to be as high as Phi Beta Kappa but may be any where from five to fifty. Your morals are not taken Into consid eration. The only qualification you must possess is the ability to think that you yourself are just a little too good for the other fellow. Now don't everyone rush. Evidently the dialogue advertis ing Farmers Fair which went out over KFAB Thursday was well re ceived. Delphian Nash and Dor othy Luschinger appeared with El ton Lux, extension editor, before the mike. As a further means of advertis ing the fair, students going home for spring vacation are going to speak before their home high schools, urging the students to at tend the 1931 fair. What orators some of the boys should make. Now it beings to look as though there will be, no polo game at the fair this year. Inability to aecure teams is causing the fair board no little worry. They will find some thing, however, to replace the games. Parking in restricted areas on the Ag campus is still the style. If the Lincoln police department needs some extra revenue they should swoop down on the agricul tural college grounds. Perhaps the fines would amount to more than fines from one beer raid in a year. Over 2,000 Nebraska men and women are expected at the college today for the annual Feeder's day. With a program listing prominent livestock authorities. Professor Gramlich is confident that a new attendance record will be set. With stedy egg prices and higher poultry prices predicted for the next thirty days Nebraska farmers should feel a little more confident that future farm prices will improve. Prof. Harold Hedges believes butter prices may be lower during that period and corn prices will probably remain steady. Referring to the auto derby which the Rag la going to sponsor, it might be a good plan to have it at the college. The oval down the main drag should serve as a good track for the boys, although it isn't very vide. On second thought though, with uptown boys behind the wheel, a wider track might be needed. In one thing, the Aggiei are lucky. After coming back next Thursday from aprlng vacation, it Isn't long until they get another vacation from their studiea.

CASTING OF PLAQUES IS BEGUN WEDNESDAY (Continued from Page 1.) ing away with the double standard of "plaque rating" and " scholar ship rating" the Interfraternity council has taken a forward step since an incentive is now pro vided for fraternities to do better than just keep up in all their hours. The plaques will be awarded on the basis of calculations of the of fice of dean of otudent affairs on the same plan as the regular se mester scholarship ranking. This is the plan always used by the Panhellenic council in making the sorority scholarship awards. Richard Devereux, chairman of the council's plaque committee, said yesterday that the first of the new plaques were cast yesterday afternoon in the mechanical engi neering foundry. The remainder of the fifteen plaques will be run out In batches of three or four dur ing the next few days. The new plaques which are made of solid cast bronze are about 8 by 11 inches in size and weigh al most three pounds. The design drawn by Keith Peterson, winner of the council's prize of ten dol lars offered for the best plaque de sign, consists of an open book across the front of which is the in signia "Interfraternity C o u ncil Scholarship Award." The pattern for the plaques was made in the mechanical engineer ing pattern making shop and all the plaques will be cast in the en gineering college foundry. The total cost of the fifteen plaques, Devereux said, will be about seventy dollars. The old plaques will be gathered up and destroyed before the banquet. The new plaques will probably be awarded by Prof. E. F. Schramm, faculty adviser of the Interfrater nity council. Student Volunteers to Meet at Doanc College State conference of the Student Volunteers will be held in Doane college at Crete, April 17, 18, 19. The gathering will be made up of the Missionary boards of several denominations and representatives of the Y. M. CI A. and Y. W. C .A.
