A bulletin entitled "Nebraska Farm Mortgages," written by Martha C. Weaver, a member of the department of research at the university, has recently been pub lished by the extension division as number 30 in the series ' of Ne braska Studies in Business. The publication contains chap ters on the extent of farm mortgage Indebtedness In Ne braska; farm-mortgage credit ma chinery, such'as mortgage com panies, commercial banks, etc.; purposes of farm-mortgage debt in Nebraska; the cotts of farm mortgage debt; and the length of loans and methods of payment. Rapid growth of the need of the three forms of fixed capital land, permanent improvements, and equipment has created a problem that has been broad of scope and difficult of solution. The purpose of this study is to show how it has developed, how it has been met, and to determlna its present significance. choruTTetIiair orow and shave le3s for show (Continued from Page l.i these professionals.

Results of a questionnaire sent to women students of seventeen colleges show that the ideal college man is big and ugly, has a mus tache, dresses neatly and is a happy medium between the "cute" college boy and the serious minded student.

NEBRASKA ALUMNUS BARES FACTS OF EXPE DITION (Continued from Page 1.) lo.-es because he is refused the right of a check-weighman ? Does he know how much wage is lost because the miner Is forced to use script at a company Btore to buy goods for a price 35 percent higher than its cost in the nearby village stores? Does the writer know what happens to every miner who tries to organize, and who tries to make a free, and sensible, speech? I hope the writer will inquire as to the correctness of the above statements, before he continues his own. on the rights of miners. "I suppose the writer has heard what happened to the writers who took relief down: Taub, Frank, and Dreiser. I suppose it was the miners who were arrested with them, to whom relief was taken, who opposed the coming of these writers. "Has the writer seen the bullet wounds in the leg of Crawford, a newspaper editor from Norton, Va.? Does he know that reporters of the Knoxville News-Sentinel are not allowed to enter Kentucky thru these counties neighboring Cumberland Gap? Does the writer know that in spite of the reception by Governor Horton of Tennessee, (I'll speak of him later), and the reception of other politicians, that the students accepted the formal invitation of making the acquain tance of the editor of this impor tant Knoxville newspaper? Does the writer know that this delega tion was accompanied by corre spondents from leading metropoli tan newspapers and news syndi cates? Does he know how these men were treated? I ask these pointed questions of information because, though the writer is in terested in the rights of miners, be might as a journalist be also interested in freedom of the press. "It would not hurt the writer to investigate this area, but if he wishes to come back, I advise him to take a bus load along for com pany. It would be a pleasure for him to meet Pineville's leading cit izens. He should know Dr. Stacey, Walter P. Smith, and Lee Fleenor. Stacey is the gentleman whom the miners pay three dollars per month for medicine they dare not take. Stacey struck Carritt, an Oxford graduate, who waa on the delega tion. Fleenor, who used a gun on the delegation, was recently In dicted of the murder of three coal miners. How does the writer jus tify the beating administered to Leboit who was dragged from our bus, and knocked to the ground and beaten? . ' The writer suggests that per mission to go there be gotten. Docs be know that of the five Common wealth college students who re cently went to Kentucky, one of them was the president of the col lege? They carried the Bill of Rights with them, but they were chained to trees and beaten by sticks. Should one apply for ad mission to travel Interstate high ways? The student delegation was stopped on the state line. Should one not protest In that case. And if so, there are good reasons for seeing the governor. A federal In junction to give the right to travel In Kentucky, was suggested to Ted Kreech, deputy, football star of 26 and '27, University of Ten nessee, whose father owns the Kreech Coal company of Harlan county. Kreech answered, "When I was in the army, one of our of ficers told us to draw a bead on the enemy just as if he were a federal officer." So we decided to see Governor Horton cf Tennessee. The writers felt justified in quot ing his accusation of bolshevism. May I quote verbatim from the Memphis Press Scimitar: " 'Governor Horton probably ex pects to get a bfg hand at his fear less denunciations of Tennessee's Imaginary enemies. It wasn't bol sheviks, communists, or anarchists that took millions of the taxpay ers' money and put It in falling banks, or traded off millions of dollar! worth of highways for votes. . . . The state Is in no dan ger from bolsheviks, communists, or anarchists, and Horton knows it. But in denouncing these imagi nary enemies, perhaps he intends to turn the public's attention away from the real dangers confronting Tennessee, the continuation of Hortonism.' "f he students ware not treated bluntly by the governor of Ken tucky. He spoke the truth when he said, 'I can guarantee safety to no one in Kentucky.' He was inaccu rate when he told us that we were too easily bluffed. The lady to whom he told this had been in formed by a thug, 'I'd like to take you in the mountains and skin you alive, you little rate.' I suppose she was blurred. .1 suppose ranK, Taub, Dreiser, Crawford, and some of the miners who did not live to tell the tale were too easily bluffed. "How were the students treated by Senator Costigan In Washing ton? Not so bad. Their complete report, given before a group of senators, will be printed for tho action of his committee. If this re port assists in bringing a senator ial investigation, in the eyes of the writer of "Student sense,' will our action still be pathetic and unjus tified. It is true, we failed in our attempt to see Hoover, but he got our petition, and we were not kicked out of the white house either. "The author says that students are criticized for such antics. When they returned, their report was received at the Plymouth theater by an audience of over one thousand. J. suppose students will be popular so long as they provide 'bigger and better' athletes. Per haps the writer is correct on his contention as to why students are criticized. He will not always be right, for we have bigger and bet ter' depressions in the land of the free. His Idea certainly will not hold for European students. Nor can it be said of Columbia univer sity. Were it not that I doubt that all Nebraska students hold the opinion of the author ot 'Student sense,' I would almost be tempted to say sometning bad of my Alma Mater. "As advice on the author's need of information regarding condi tions in this sore spot of Kentucky, I will say that information cannot be gotten unless one goes there, then it is very ditficult to return with the Information, if hs really wants to know something about it, particularly further enlightenment on his 'attitude of the miners on being studied,' let him read Drei ser'3 new book on the report of his committee in Harlan. 'Ken tucky Miners Speak,' is the name of it. If the only time he heard of i an 'American Tragedy,' was Irom what the movies left of it, I sug gest that he read this book of Dreiser's too." WILLARD SFENCE ANSWERS CHARGE OF DAILY EDITOR (Continued from Page 1.) University Y. M. C. A. cabinet. As a graduate of Utt year's class at Nebraska, and as a member of this expedition. I be lieve that my statements are worthy of the attention of the student body. I only ask for jus tification in this answer to that editorial. I imagine that, since I have published editorials in The Nebraskan just as lieitsd, on such subjects as "petting par ties," that on such a subject as the one on which I am writing, the tone is justifiable. I hope that my answer will be regarded as fair to the author of "Student Sense," since we all have the right to "air" our opinions, and since the author is not known. I am sending a few copies of the manuscript to old friends at Nebraska who were interested in the relation of the student to so cial problems. I would appreciate hearing from you, if there is any reason why this should not be printed. I hope that in my anxiety to see an answer to "student sense" in the paper, I have been' dic tatorial to the rights of your ovn policy as editor. With best wishes and remem brance of the school and its paper, I am, Yours Sincerely, WILLARD SPENCE. Dead Miners "Bluffed." The previous editorir.ls which Spence mentions are presumably letters to the editor which he wrote while in school. Describing the stand taken to ward the investigating students by the governor of Kentucky when he was appealed too, Spence says, "The students were not treated bluntly by the governor. He spoke the truth when he said 1 can guarantee safety to no one in Ken tucky.' He was inaccurate when he told us we were too easily bluffed. The lady to whom he told this had been informed by a thug, I'd like to take you into the mountains and skin you alive, you little rat.' I suppose she was bluffed. I sup pose some of the miners who did not live to tell the tale were too easily bluffed." In similar vein, the writer asks of the Nebraskan editorial author, "How does the writer ( On The Ne braskan) justify the beating ad ministered to Leboit, who was dragged from our bus, and knocked to the ground and beaten?" "Student Sense," the original Nebraskan editorial which Inxpired Spence's belligerent tirade In an swer, follows: Student 8ense. Students can be defended for many things which they are ac cused of doing. Their actions can often be justified and charges brought against them can often be refuted. There are times, however, when the actions of students are so foolish as to bring a blush to the faces of other college students. The recent actions of the eastern college students who have been trying lo gain entrance to the Kentucky and Tennesse coal strikes for purposes of "study" are pathetic. Whole bus-loads of students drive to those areas and are re pulsed by miners and authorities. Students complain that deputies pinch their arms and threaten them with guns. They carry their complaints to the governor of Ken tucky. The governor of Kentucky refuses to have anything to do with their complaints. "I have no authority in this case," he said. "That's what the courts are for." Then he remarked, "You're too easily bluffed." Governor Horton was even more blunt, when approached by sLx students for the same reason. "We welcome people to our parks and public places, but we don't want a lot of bolsbevists, communists, or anarchists lnterferring with the dignity of Tennessee," he told the spokesman. The students com plained that after the Indignities they had suffered at the hands of the Kentucky authorities they had been treated to more of the same by Tennessee officers. The gover- nor wanted to know who had in vited them and was told that no one had. Horton declared that if the stu dents were so deeply interested in studying mining conditions they should apply to the proper authori ties for entrance and they would undoubtedly be admitted. He ad vised them, however, to go home. When students perform antics of this nature It is no wonder that the public criticises and wonders. When a group cf students go into fields where they are obviously not wanted upon the frail excuse that they want to study conditions Uiey are not exercising the best of judgment. If they are really inter ested in getting into the coal fields for purposes or study they snouiu apply to proper authorities for permission to do so. It is entirely obvious that the miners do not want to be studied. A short time ago a number of writers were set upon and ousted from the region for the same rea son. Their complaints rose to the skies, but they stayed out. The students and the writers seem to forget that those tanking miners are people and not animals to be studied in a zoo. Those people do not want to be studied and their rights should be respected. A re versal of the situation would not be looked upon with favor, that Is certain. Just imagine a group of Kentucky miners visiting the Uni versity of Nebraska campus to , study social conditions. j There is little justification for j the actions of those students. Their actions, in the first place, of goin,? to the field were scarcely Justifi-1 able, and their later actions of go-1 ing to the governors with their ' complaints does them no credit. If students wish to battle the criti cism against them they should take care not to do things which are bound to bring that criticism.
