Chalmers Grah.wn ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGERS Bernard Jennings George Holyoke Frank Musgrave Selling Education ,. Slavery? TIE legislature has adjourned. The appropriations lor the University of Nebraska have been settled for the next biennium. In the course of that settlement, the university has been subjected to one of the most thorough, and in sonr lespects. the most bitter ex aminations and criticisms which have ever been leveled at this in stitution, even recognizing- the fact that the biyearly session of the ptate lawmakers is always a pe riod ot tension for this school. For those who have an idealistic conception of education it was dis coui aging to realize that certain political interests took advantage of this hostile attitude to make capital for themselves. It was dis illusioning to realize that the con troversy over appropriations could nut be fought out entirely on the basja of. principle. Instead of be ing able to reckon all the oppo nents of the institution as being opposed entirely because they felt the need for economy or because they sincerely questioned the worth ot education, one had to reckon that some were opposed because they felt a personal grudge of some sort, or because their vote for or against the university ap propriations would be repaid by a vote for or against beer or some thing else. KSIDES this, or because of this, the university has had to walk sottly for fear some legisla to would take offense at some si. dent or faculty utterance, there by jeapordizing the support of the institution. Any agitation, or the ir.f.e announcement ot a fact vhich appealed in any way to have possibilities for offending a legis lator was held in abeyance. The Daily Nebraskan, for instance, found it advisable to say little or nothing about the pacifistic peti tion which was being signed by students inasmuch as the question ii olved was a highly controver sial one. The university does have a re sponsibility to the people of the Ft: te for its support and it appie fSftes that responsibility. But it La deplorable in the extreme that Vocalise of that support the uni ve.sity should feel afraid to touch any controversial subjects. It is m U ltimate that a state educa tu .ial institution or any of its con st t ients should be expected to be F-n servient in its policies or ideas to what the controllers of its fi-iiM-f'al deludes believe. T1 is ;iigh time that the people of vne slate recognize that they an 'oe-i served by a university v!':?h is entirely unfettered by po litical influences, entirely inde-pen-ionl in its thinking and acting. It it. proper, of course, that the ad ministration of the money pro vider! by the state should be care fully inquired about. It is appro priate that the state legislators should scan carefully the work of the institution to see that the money spent by the taxpayers is bringing value received. But this by no means implies that the university administration, faculty, or student body should feel impelled to muffle their ideas. The university should promote, not stifle, independent thought. And if that thought is a little unortho dox according to the tenets of the "average taxpayer" or the major ity of legislators, there should be a strenuous fight waged if opposi tion to that unorthocloxy takes the form of crippling the financial re sources of the university. HPHE Nebraskan has no disposi- tion to grieve over what the university was given by the re cently defunct legislature. We realize that in the main the force behind the criticism of the univer sity was the drastic need for econ omy and that the slash in the uni versity budget was primarily a sin cere effort to effect this economy. Furthermore the Nebraskan has no desire to maintain that some criticisms of the university might not be just. But regardless of how much or little the legislature has voted the unive.sity or ever does appropri ate for this institution, regardless of how badly the legislature feels that the appropriation is admin istered or how many defects they may see in the policy of the insti tution, we want to enter a protest to the idea that the university must cowtow to the prejudices of the legislators or the people of the state. This university is not wor thy of the name if it cannot act and think and teach without al ways keeping one eye open to see how the political leaders in the state react. The doors of every building on the campus would be better shut immediately if it is tacitly assumed that the biennial funds for this school must be ob tained by clever politics or by sub serviency. Another liig Day For the Merchants. HTllte only thing against mothers as a class that we know of is the yearly outpouring of extrava gant sentimentality about them perpetrated by the press, the radio, and of course the advertisers. Much of this sloppy twaddle is meant well, and should, perhaps, be taken as it is meant. But lots of the most obnoxious slush is put out by commercial interests who hope to reap some material gain by touching the hear ts of sons and daughters. It is unfortunate that nearly every day of commemoration in the American calendar has been siezed upon by merchandisers as an excuse for a commercial splurge. And along with this form of commemoration goes the typi cal American custom of stifling real sentiment by overdoing the ballyhoo. American people cannot be left alone with their feelings. On Mother's day, for instance, they must needs have the radio blat platitudinous sentimentalities at them. They are confronted by standardized expressions in the press which assume that any mother is necessarily a saint. They buy red carnations on the street corners and send prepared tele grams home, all in celebration of their feelings for mother. "1I7-ELL, perhaps all that is all VV right. Doubtless it is better that Americans should revere the ideals of motherhood en masse than not at all. And most of the expr essions of sentiment are prob ably sincere. But as for us we wish to com memorate Mother's day, not by writing a trite eulogy, but by sug gesting that personal sentiment can be expressed just as well in a quiet, unobtrusive fashion. Stu dents in the university are likely to be just beginning to awaken to what mothers and fathers have meant to them. Such feelings as thev have, however, are personal and are chiefly valuable because they are personal. Baring your feelings to the public in dramatic and emotional outbursts of speech or print is not an essential part of the commemoration of Mother's day. The real value of Mother's day will be felt by those who in quiet reflection realize what a particu lar mother has meant. If this real ization can be expressed to the mother herself in an intimate man ner so much the belter. If not, it is better confined to the conscious ness of the individual than spread across a printed page in terms of overworked emotional content.
