claim, is the science of economies. It is pecu
! liar because nothing can he proved by it : noth
;injr cm h positively stated: nothing can be
sot forth as an exact' faet. There must always
be a series of given circumstances, and even
then the laws of economics do not !iold.
Students of economics are aware of this, yet
thev constantly try to prove situations with
their knowledge and their laws. It is pathetic
because it so happens that in most of those
situations exactly similar theorems can be sel
up and proved by contrast ins; laws, or oppo
site propositions can be proved equally as well
bv parallel laws. This is witnessed in the tact ;
that one great economist can issue a statement
showing how the present embarrassing finan
cial depression will be relieved because the
laws of economies are so set. and still another
' great economist can issue other statements
l.ased on those same laws and showing how
the current situation will not be relieved. It
is witnessed, further, in the fact that sonic
economists can prove that price fixing will aid
prosperity, -while others can show just as stren
'nously with similar laws that it will not work,
line Van prove anything with an economics
hook under his ami. The best thing that can
be proved is that the economic foundation of
ibis country certainly is on a flimsy stand if
th- props e'an be toppled as easily as they have
be. -n in the past two years.
It is a dilemma! Something for students to
ihink about!
In recent days the editor has gone into ton
f M-enee on four occasions to discuss The Dfiily
Nebraskan 's policy of retrenchment in the eol
h g.. student's budget. Faculty men, students,
..niul outsiders were represented in these eoii-
iWcnces. One faculty man was strongly in
'faVor of the Nebraskan 's "nickel-saving"
move. Another was of the opinion that it is
not well to advertise 1 his depression: that the
way to break a depression is to lie cheery, to
talk improvement, to spend money. When he
! mentioned spending, of course, he meant con
servative spending: spending that will bring
r.i.'l returns on the investment but he meant
'constant spending, i1m.

Waiting for That
Letter Which .ever Comes.
One of Ihe most difficult phases of leaving
homo to come to school is the loss of cilnttiiet
with old friends and especially with home.
Our lives are so closely hound up with the folks
at home that it is more difficult than can be
imagined to leave and go away. And those
who' leave do not suffer the hardest part of
the parting.
Those people at home whom miss t In
most are the very ones who are making it pos
sible for us to be at school anil who are at
tempting to get used to our being ':oiie. . Tbey
want to hear from us. We do much here that
is interesting to them and they arc proud of
any achievement which may come as a result
of 'our efforts. They are concerned with our
troubles and happy with our little jokes.
There is nothing quite so disconcerting as
to have the mail man say, "nothing today."
There is nothing quite so hard to understand
as the failure of loved one to write. Writing
is such an easy task and a letter i. so much
appreciated. Kvory one of us should make
the little effort that it requires and write home
often.
"Nothing important to write about." wc
often say, but that is such a flimsy excuse
when we know that our every action, every
thing that concerns us is of interest to the peo
ple who are waiting hack home.
There is an old adage which says, absence
makes the heart grow fonder." Hut there is
nothing quite so heart rending as waiting lor
a letter which does not come, o get out your
pen and write home today and do it oi l en.

Students who do have to study there and
who have allotted time in which to do it can
not do so if they are being continually inter
rupted by unnecessary noise. These students
came here with the intention of taking certain
courses, some of which require study in the
library. Their fathers and mothers are work
ing hard to send them here and it seems only
fair to them that students have a quiet place
where they may obtain more knowledge than
can be acquired in their own text books.

do such thirds. I n! n is another thing to ask
rtheiti to get into action.
.Most students do not own the money they
'ypend. Why ask thm to break depressions
'with it? It i the money of their fathers, their
guardians, or o11ht benefactors. The duty of
dictating now that money shall be spent lies
in the power of those who supply it. If every-
- one is holding his money, surely students can
do little else but join the ranks and hold, also,
that money which is supplied to thein by their
benefactors.
This is no time to preach "education at any
price." It is a time to make wise investments,
and to trim on the things one can get along
without. It means get conservatively "tight."
There, are many businesses which have been
"born nut of prosperity and which rely upon
the free spending of money and the indulgence
of people into non-essentials. The best those
; concerns can do is to await better times. Stu

The Student Purse.
TO THE EDITOR:
Due to the unusual economic situation stu
dents at the I'liiveisit-y of Nebraska are striv
ing to find new -f.ys to cut expenses down to
a minimum. Not so many clothes, not so many
dates, not so many parties and shows, so hc
story goes. At present the student body is
talking of two subjects which are holding their
interest at the present time. They are the
price of student athletic tickets and the pro
posed slashing of party prices.
An obvious fact is that of the reduction of
price for football tickets, that is except for
student tickets. It does not seem fair to all
concerned that undergraduates must pay ihe
Old price oi :u.'J w hen outsiuers get the bene-1
fit of ihe cut in price. They are the ones who j
enjoy the games in which their state is y pi e. i

trains, which recollection brought
forth a smile from Gish.
South African Trains Slow.
"These South African trains
aren't what one would label as
speedy. They average sixteen
miles an hour, and were so blow
that the boys would suit up before
they got on the train and then get
off at a station to run for two or
three miles, then wait for the train
to catch up."
Gish tiaveled over 25,000 miles
on his trip with the trackmen. A
visit to the gold mines at Johan
nesburg and to the diamond mines
featured the sightseeing part of
the trip. However, there were no
samples given away at either
place, according to the director.
Mr. Gish was loud in his praise
of the hospitality extended them
by the South African people. He
says the average American has the
idea that South Africa is totally
uncivilized, but on the contrary
there are many modern cities with
motion picture shows and other
evidences of what is regarded as
constituting a mark of civiliza
tion. There ar? 2.000.000 million
w hite people nut of a total of eight
million population.
It was th. South African
Amateur Athletic and Cycling
union that invited the American
j A. A. L. to send a group of ath
; loles to the country. The purpose
j of the trip, according to Gish, was
j to instill a desire for better ath
I letic performances among South
I African athletes, to create an in
creased interest in athletics among
the people there, and to arouse the

by reputation if not personally. Watching ihe
game it is almost as if Ik- were mi the field

they should pay for the ald" enjoyment but
it seems a very weak argument to stand
against the fact tlfat there is an added dollar
or so for the student. Th added thrill does
not warrant the extra price. Anyway an' not

college athletics developed for the public or
for the student bodv of the school? Why de
prive a student of what is really his for the
reason that he does not feel able to pay a price
out of reason with what the public pays and
with what the students in other schools have
to pay?
The expen,e of parties held by tin various
groups on the campus has come in for some
unfavorable comment, all of which is quite to
the point. It is not necessary to spend enor
mous sums on a dance when fully as much en
joyment would bo derived if the expense were
cut in half. The groups will argue that it can
not be done and still have a party worth the
name. That is a mistaken belief. The secret
of good entertainment at low cost is in the
proper management. Efficiency is a by-word
in business which has cut cost and increased
profits. It can do the same with any social
function that in sponsored by ihe university
or given by the Barb council which caters 1o
the average, student. True enough, and ihe
council is proud of the fact that the average
student conies and has an enjoyable time.
What is more to tlc point it does not force the
average student to skimp on meals or in some
other fashion to come. Fraternities might do
well to take notice of the way that the Barb
council tarries on these parties and do a little
copying. It would cut their expense on their
next festival.
Prices of everything in the last year or so
have been prohibitive or neariy so, ar ieast to
the average student, and as most of us are
average students we would like some action
to be taken on this mailer of the swilt empty
ing of the student purse. (j, J

purchasing as many as he can
use. The plan that every or

fraternities, and rooming houses
purchase a minimum of ten stamps
will again be carried out. "Such
