Thf Student Council committee on Athletic
lMations is prepared to take the final step in
si'ciirinpr student representation on the Athletic
Hoard of Control. That group has prepared
a petition which is to be presented to the Board
ji! Kegents at its next meeting. That body is
the highest ruling body of the University of
Nebraska and it is to them that such matters
of reorganization must be referred.
Five reasons for securing representation on
the board were advanced by the committee.
They are as follows:
1." The athletic program is conducted
for the students and all of the intra
mural and intercollegiate athletics are
participated in by students. For this
reason they feel they should be repre
sented on the supreme ruling board
which governs athletics at the Univer
sity of Nebraska.
.2. Many of the affairs of athletics which
the board considers are problems of the
students and should be considered with
the aid of students.
3. The student problems cannot be viewed
in the student light unless students are
seated on the board to aid in its con
sideration. 4. The student group is one of those
which actually provide revenue to
carry out the athletic projects and is
the only one of the groups which is
not represented on the board.
5. Figures in a survey taken by a special
committee indicate that 81 percent of
the schools surveyed have student rep
resentation on these boards.
Those five points cover the ground thorough
ly. The committee feels that because students
are being dealt with in the athletic policy of
1 lie institution, students should have some voice
in that government. The athletics of the school
are conducted for the students, there can be
no doubt of that. Students are the active par
ticipants in the athletic program. Students,
therefore, should have a voice in conducting
those athletic affairs.
The students want it. They signified as much
by their recent approval in the referendum
during the last election. The vote on th ques
tion was overwhelmingly in favor of represen
tation. The rally was 864 in favor of fij
against.
It is significant that of the replies received
from the 'schools surveyed by the committee,
they are all almost unanimous in their agree
ment that students should have a voice in ath
letic affairs. Almost all of them do.
Fit'tv-three schools were selected to be in
terviewed in the survey. Of that number 26
have replied and 21 of them have representa
tion. At some of the schools which did not
have representation, a campaign similar to the
one which is being carried on here, is in pro
gress. At other schools where student repre
sentation is allowed, the schools are working
for increased representation. The committee
has endeavored to choose the best points from
all of the schools heard from so as to evolve
a working plan. It has been adapted to local
conditions so that it would be sure of smooth
functioning.
All that is left to be done, is to gain the
approval of the Hoard of Regents. They will
convene some time in the near future for the
final consideration of the matter. They will
undoubtedly find some flaws in the commit
tee's plan but the details may easily be altered
the idea is flawless, because behind it lie the
ideals of democracy.
Now that circulation is booming, the Aw
gwan doesn't need to get kicked off the
campus.
Crystal
(lazing.
The time of year rolls around once more
when seniors are worrying about where they
arft going to find a niche for themselves after
they have secured their college degrees.
The teachers bureau reports that the demand
fur teaching jobs is much greater than usual
and that the number of jobs available is much
less than usual. This is typical of the situation
ip. erery field of work. No where is there a
very promising outlook for the young gradu
ate. T'nder such conditions the army of the un
employed becomes a very real conception to
the student. It is not necessarily a long bread
line of laboring men in overalls, but includes,
among others, a large number of young college
graduates, supposedly well prepared to lend
their efforts to the. work of the world.
The normal cxperbnee, perhaps the one
which most college students have visualized, is
the one where the senior in college casts about
for the position he thinks is the best he can do.
In times past he has probably had the chance
to look over several possibilities and make some
choice. At least he could almost always ex
pect to get something in the field .which he
preferred or for which he had prepared.
But now the experience is different. To only
some members of the graduating class will
come opportunities to go directly into the fields
of work they desire and plan to follow. To
some indeed there may not even como the
chance to get into any field. They will be
jobless. And if they are so fortunate as to
get anything at all, most of them will be some
what shocked to find that the fact that they
have a college eductaion is of little or no sig
nificance. They will take their place along
side the lowest paid workers.
We have no advice to give on how to get a
job or a good salary. We can only sympathize
with the graduating seniors who face such a
dreary outlook. The situation calls for an
adjustment to conditions as they are, which
means that some must reconcile themselves to
taking poor jobs at low salaries; others must
reconcile themselves to no jobs at all.
Whatever happens, however, we believe that
the college student should not bemoan his fate
too much. We believe that the fact that he
has gone to college, while it may temporarily
seem to have been of no value, gives him an
opportunity to use himself to better advantage
if he will Several interviews recently pub
lished in the Nebraskan have stressed the fact
that for those with ability, the lack of a job
need not mean the cessation of effort or of
advancement.
If worst comes to worst, some students will
find that they can profitably spend extra time
in preparation in college. If finances do not
permit that, the ambitious individual will find
it worth while to spend his time wherever he
is in bettering himself. Certainly if the col
lege education has been worth anything at all,
it will have taught him how to continue his
own education, even if he is at home living
on the folks.
And so we suggest that the senior allow Ins
mind to be somewhat plastic in regard to his
immediate future. We suggest that he be pre
pared to make the most of whatever comes to
him, whether it be a fine job, or no job at all.

The Tax
Plan.
Action to reorganize student activities is
getting under way. Impetus was given at the
general conference of organization heads
sponsored by the Innocents several weeks ago.
At that meeting a suggestion was made which
seems to have been forgotten in the considera
tion of other things. The suggestion was a
valuable one, I believe, and should not be dis
carded at this time when the whole activities
situation is being revamped. I refer to the
proposal to lump the admissions to all student
activitity events into one "activities book" to
be purchased by everyone at the first of the
year.
. . . at it a 1 f ..
The plan is certainly leasiuie, lor u is ueiug
worked out at several large schools of the
country, and its advantages are numerous.
Under such a sys em, cost of individual items
on the list of thin g.i students are expected to
buy or subscribe to would be lowered to a
minimum. At the same time there would be
an increase in revenue for all activities if the
whole student body bought the books.
The Daily Nebraskan, for example, would
gain a circulation large enough to draw the at
tention of city advertisers, as, would the Aw
gwan, and the Cornhusker would be available
at a price which would enable more students
to get their pictures in the book. Athletic
events, instead of costing great sums, would be
reduced in price so that attendance would prob
ably jump amazingly.
The University Players, and Other similar
"cultural" affairs would reach more students.
Altogether the proposal seems a very valuable
one and should not, I believe, be cast aside
without investigation, at least.

TREND OF THE
TIMES

GERALD BARDO
We have no fair values to place
upon human life. The life of baby
Lindbergh is priceless. For his
parent's sake the nation is hoping
he will be safely returned. Yet
when it is learned that safety for
the kidnappers must be assured
before junior is returned, some
thing repulsive rises within us. It
destroys our whole system of pub
lic safety, law and order to have
to dicker with a criminal.
And when the Manchester Guar
dian says, "such a situation means
that tVitf mnut elementary condi
tions of a civilized state are not
nreaent in America." we can but
hang our head in shame.
wlr hefnre last friends of
Roosevelt nervously looked on as
be removed snenii ariey, a mm
many man, from his office. This
week these friends have been anx
ious while New Hampshire voted
its primaries ,are now joyful be-
xaiiaa Rnnnvvelt won bv 5.000 VOteS
from Al Smith. With New Hamp
shire s eight tne new ionc gover
nor now has twenty-two pledged
delegates.
Benito Mussolini admires Amer
icans and no doubt finds their
friendship profitable. He increased
this friendship when he granted
the University of Pennsylvania
concessions to unearth Italian
ruins. This is the first conces
sion we have had for thirty years
and already Dr. Jothan Johnson
has discovered a "vast pre-Roman
city."
Seniors in the teachers college
do not look joyfully forward to
June and graduation, much less to
next fall with maybe no Job. I
heard of a small Nebraska school
position the other day that had
more than a hundred applicants.
Still the National Education As
sociation reports that fifty-seven
percent of U. S. cities have main
tained regular salary schedules
and are giving the customary in
creases. Seventy-four New Jeresy
cities are even making an upward
revision of salaries.
Henrv Pu-vi. former emperor of
China, has been installed as dic
tator of the new Manchurian state,
Manchouko. That he is merely a
puppet of Japan is well known.
nut what Is to become of this
state ? United Sttaes says she can
recognize no territorial changes
roanitinc from the Chlno-Jananese
conflict. The league has said the
same. China insists tnat any set
tlement with Japan must consider
Manchuria, Japan insists that any
settlement at Shanghai Is apart
from Manchuria. Russia, willing
to sell out her Manchurian rail
road Interests, will Stand for no
trespass upon her own soil, and
an estimate or ner troops on me
Siberian border is set at 60,000.
The Chinese continue to mass
troops near Shanghai believing
that Japan must finally give up.
Japan, says a new xorx nmes
dispatch, is more than willing to
extricate herself, provided the feat
can be achieved with honor and
with assurance for the security of
her people and their investments
around Shanghai which shall be of
such validity as to satisfy the
army that its sacrifice of life was
not wastage."
Japanese troops now landing at
Shanghai are apparently those
which were ordered before the turn
of the battle. In Japan the war
spirit Is still high and must be left
to subside gradually. For the 3,000
soldiers killed Japanese will want
some return.

Nebraska School of Agriculture at
Curtis Prepares Students for Farm
TjlltoHi Note: This Is on of serifs of
feature articles on toe various sub-stntlons
f the University of Nebraska, Ineated
various parts of the stale.
With 201 students now in at
tendance the Nebraska School of
Agriculture at Curtis, Neb., aims
to prepare its students for life in
the open country, giving them
training: in the knowledge and
techniques that they will have
need for, and endeavors to create
attitudes of fair play and full civic
responsibility. The Nebraska
School of Agriculture' is a branch
of the state university and offers
secondary school work.
The school was established to
promote stock raising and agricul
tural Interests in Nebraska and to
make citizens, according to Super
intendent C. K. Morse. It draws
most of its student body from this
section of the state and offers
them an unusual opportunity t6 se
cure practical training without go
ing too far from home. Besides the
Industrial subjects, all customary
high school courses are offered.
Dry land farming methods are
emphasized in all crop studies. The
management or the farm and
herds is closely correlated with
classroom procedure. The whole
course of study is built to serve
the sons and daughters of farm
ers. The practical training' of the
course of study is interpreted in
terms of conditions of western Ne
braska agriculture. Recitation pe-

also offered for students eligible to
college courses to earn university
credit during the summer session.
With a 475 acre farm and cam

school Is in a position to offer a
type of work not possible in a local
school district or a consolidation
of several districts, according to
Superintendent Morse". Latest re
ports show that the land, buildings,
and equipment of the school has a
valuation of $334,052.45. At the
last session of the state legislature
$20,000 was appropriated for the
erection and equipping of a new
