FUSS DUE TO SCHOONER
Advances Claim Schooner
May Be Cut Off From
Further Funds.
By Dick Moran
Lack of funds for the publica
tion of the Prairie Schooner, a
iuaitcr1y literary magazine spon
sored by the university, brings
li.rth an editorial in the Sunday
edition of the Omaha World-Herald
c-rit icir.iiifr the student, faculty
members, an J the university in
general.
Tho Omaha paper says of the
Prairie Schooner: "This paper has
been acclaimed by discerning crit
ics as a unique expression of the
culture of Nebraska and the mid
dle west. It has won enviable dis
tinction in the field of letters."
The World-Herald laments the
fact that of the 6.500 students en

of whom are housed in richly fur
nished and luxuriously built fra

subscriptions at the price of rne
dollar a year can be sold. It also

fa-jiilty, "who are devoting their
lives to the cause of higher educa

scribe to the magazine.
The board of regents of the uni
versity, realizing the necessity of
economy in all branches of univer
sity administration and activities,
have cut down tho allowances for
many of the university's publica

with this policy, the board, who
loimcrly allowed the Prairie
Schooner $200 a year for publica
tion, has, according to the World
Herald, "hinted that this amount
rusv be withdrawn."
Quoting the World-Herald: "But
