stood in the statement of the mo
tion that the council will imme

has been investigated.
The committee which investi
gated and reported on the disposi
tion of class presidencies was
composed of Gretchen Fee, chair
man, Art Wolf, Bereniece Hoff
man, and Tom Snipes.
Approve Work.
The council approved a report
of the faction realignment com
mittee and instructed it to con
tinue its work in connection with
the organization of the unaffili
ated students on the campus. The
committee sponsored a meeting
Tuesday night at which the repre
sentatives of the non-fraternity
men met to consider means of or
ganizing their respective groups.
President Faulkner, who pre
sided at the meeting of the repre
sentative unaffiliated students,
stressed the idea that the work of
the realignment committee will be
something which must be carried
on next year.
Three Accept.
A motion to postpone the date
of the conference of Big Six
schools originally scheduled for
April 23 to April 30 was approved
by the council. It was reported
that Missouri, Kansas and Iowa
State have thus far accepted Invi
tations to the conference. Okla
homa and Kansas State college
have as yet not replied to the in
vitations. The conference will consider the
question of duties for class offi
cers and the practices of other
schools in providing such duties
or In abolishing class officers will
be ascertained. In addition, as
recommended at the meeting
Wednesday, the conference will
consider the question of the or
ganization of non-Greek students
on the various campuses, a ques
tion with which the council is at
present concerned through its fac
tion realignment project.

In addition to this general sal
ary reduction. 1932 summer school
instructors will have their salaries
cut 5 percent from the original
budget.
Cash Receipts Shrink.
The salary reductions and cuts
in operation expense are made
necessary by shrinkage In cash re
ceipts from student feej and sale
of agricultural products as well as
the $185,400 reduction from tax
sources made by the last legisla
ture. Student fees have shown a
decrease of about $2,000 this year
and departmental receipts have
declined about $104,000, due in
part to lower market prices.
Reductions were effected during
the current year by the consolida
tion of certain departments and
the failure In certain cases to ap
point men to fill vacancies created
by resignations. Expenditures

strength. Captain Spoerry com
ments, "Unarmed and unprotected
we would be a nice prize for some
powerful nation."
The "Communistic element," ac
cording to the pamphlet, favors
further disarmament because they
can "by secretly arming them
selves at the zero hour more eas
ily overthrow our government and
control it thereafter by an armed
minority."
The entire survey has a similar
militaristic flavor and a picture is
painted of the United States help
less at the mercy of "wolves In
sheep's clothing" as the socialists
are termed. Paragraphs of the re
port are interspersed with state
ments in capital letters.
Closing words, W capitals, in
voke the reader to "have a care
before we act in matters concern
ing our destiny and that of the
children we bring into this world
and leave behind us to suffer for
our mistakes."
"Life is sweet, if unfettered, but
slavery, dishonor, and degreda
tion are unbearable."
Explanations of the facts out
lined and an appeal to the reader
to consider the influence of factors
brought to light are also a part of
thes urvey.
Students Request Material.
The present form of the bulletin
was developed from a chart which
was used in the instruction of ad
vanced students, Captain Spoerry
explained. Requests of students
and their enthusiasm for the value
of the compiled material led to
having mimeographed copies
made.
Since mimeographing of the sur
vey, copies have been given to ad
vanced military science students
and some have been mailed to
other schools In the country. Ro

lectured Tuesday also received

Explaining the "concrete phase"
Librarian Doane mentioned a re
cent survey by "land grant col
leges and universities" which
points out "the necessity for an
efficient library for effective in
struction for research and inves
tigation, for the intellectlal
growth of the faculty, and for gen
eral reading, is generally recog
nized by those of high standing
in the educational field."
Prepare for Future.
The blilding should contain. In
the opinion of Mr. Doane, provi
sions for the housing of university
book collections for generations to
come. It should also provide read
ing room facilities for the student
body and provide study cubicles
for advance students and members
of the faculty.
"It is our hope," he outlined,
"that there will be an endowed
browsing room which will be lux
uriously furnished as a private
gentleman's library with open
shelves, easy chairs and soft

"Inspiration to students. ,
"A library which Is functioning
to the fullest extent," said Mr.

Considerable Machine Shop
Work Done on School
Equipment.
The engineering department of
the university does not, as many
nthpr universities, make a practice
of performing service work, ac
cording to Dean u. J. rerguson.
Very little if any is performed and
this is mostly on university equip
ment, he said Wednesday.
Considerable machine snop worn
is necessary in maintaining uni
versity machines and the univer
sity lias a shop for this purpose.
However, tne mecnanicai engineer
ing department tools and equip
ment are much finer and more
precise than the ordinary, and
much technical work is performed
upon them.
The highway testing of the de
partment does considerable work
in co-operation with the state de
partment of public works. All ex
penses are paid by the state, in
cluding personnel, reports, inspec
tion, overhead and maintenance.
Jobs for three full time men, oth
ers part time, and a considerable
student employment, result from
this. A large number of students
make their way through school,
from work in this department.
The mechanical engineering lab
oratory make a small number of

done by students who are studying

Crop Production Loan Group
To Investigate All
Applications.
Crop production loan committees
are now organized, and approving
loan applications in sixty-nine Ne
braska counties, Director W. H.
Brokaw of the agricultural college
extension service said Wednesday.
County officers in a few more
counties are considering the ap
pointment of loan committees, but
most of the organization work has
been done.
Applications for the federal
money are pouring Into the re
gional office at Minneapolis by the
thousands, L. J. Paulson, in charge
of that office, told Brokaw in a
telephone conversation. Any delay
in getting the checks from the re
gional office has been due to con
gestion in the auditing department
there, Paulson said. The men fur
nished by the Nebraska extension
service to check over Nebraska ap
plications are keeping up with
their work every day.
Credit situations are said to
have eased up in many Nebraska
communities since the applications
have been approved by the county
committees and sent off to the re
gional office. Paulson thought he
had the difficulties worked out and
that the checks would be coming
into Nebraska promptly.
County officers and committee
men have considered the matter
seriously and sensibly, Brokaw
feels. They expect their farmers
to meet their obligations this fall
according to the agreements signed
up with the government. They
are urging farmers not to borrow
unless they must, because debts
are always hard to pay in times of
low prices.
Brokaw and his assistants have
met with all the county officers
and committeemen of the sixty
nine counties to explain the pur
pose of the loans, means of getting
them, and the ways and the steps
in filling out the application blanks
and forms required. Any mistake
in filling out the information,
Brokaw has explained, will mean
