Help the
Prairie Schooner.
A PICKED group of university
women students will begin an
intensive week of canvassing the
university campus today, for the
express purpose of securing stu
dent and faculty subscriptions to
the Prairie Schooner,
To the average student the an
nouncement of another sales drive
will not be unusual. Neither will
many students realize the exact
nature of the Prairie Schooner and
what It attempts to accomplish.
This is indeed unfortunate, for
the Prairie Schooner is a worth
while enterprise that should be
preserved on the Nebraska campus
even at the expense of less worthy
adventures.
The Prairie Schooner, as an
nounced in the feroword of each
issue, is an outlet for literary work
in the University of Nebraska and
a medium for publication of the
finest writing of the prairie coun
try. The magazine was founded in
1927 by the Wordsmith chapter of
Sigma Upsilon, national literary
fraternity, and has been published
continuously since then under the
able editorship of Lowry C. Wim
berly. But the magazine's path to suc
cess has been a rough one. A fair
degree of success was evident dur
ing the early years of publication
but recently lack of funds have
necessitated the reduction in the
number of pages. Its subscribers,
obviously enough have been few.
A queer note is sounded in the
situation, however, when the real
enthusiasm for the magazine's fine
quality finds voice outside the uni
versity. As a matter of record Edward
J. O'Brien, international short
story critic and probably best
known for his annual short story
anthology, recently commented on
the Prairie Schooner in a letter to
Its editor. He said: "... Know
ing as I do what such a magazine
means in American life, it has
seemed to me that it should be
more widely known than it ap
pears to be. I have asked myself
why this is not the case, and the
conclusion to which I have come
is that it is unable to draw the
necessary attention to itself be
cause it is not taken seriously
enough at home. . . . It is a most
significant expression of American
life which we possess. As such,
it focuses the whole cultural life
of a section of America."
Mr. O'Brien s sincere praise has
been re-echoed by other nationally
prominent critics. Indeed it has
enjoyed an enviable national repu
tation for some time as a maga
zine, which has outgrown the in
fancy stage in quality of work
printed between its covers.
On the other hand, however, a
mxrazlna cannot continue DUblica-
tion solely on the laurels of far
distant praise. Sponsors of the
Prairie Schooner have frankly ad
mitted that the magazine is in
difficult financial straits. From
this point of view we feel that stu
dents and faculty members have
an excellent opportunity to con
tribute to a worthy cause. Indeed
universal campus support of the
Prairie Schooner might ultimately
'result in its exercising an appre
ciable influence on the cultural life
of the university.
The Nebraskan has gone to
great length in explaining the pur
pose of the Prairie Schooner sales
program because it sincerely be
lieves that this worthy cause
should not go unnoticed "as an
other sales campaign for a worth
less project." The faculty and stu
dents of this university should find
themselves many times repaid for
the small consideration necessary
to obtain the Prairie Schooner.
A Suggestion
Is Made.
TO THE EDITOR:
I have no idea who the instiga
tor of the Prairio Schooner drive
was, but ho or she Is indeed wise.
It has always been a wonder to
me that some bright person didn't
come to the rescue long ago.
Here Nebraska is with a publi
cation known all over the country,
and even abroad for the high
quality of material which it prints.
Then what do students at that in
stitution do about it? Just sit
around and sit around so far as
I havo been able to figure out.
When the Schooner makes its
quarterly appearance, the Daily
Nebraskan writes a review of
what appeared in the magazine.
There it is the story all told.
(Apologies to those few intelligent
souls who really subscribe to the
publication. I
If Nebraskans will Just realize
what they being offered for such
a small sum, if for once they will
be willing to recognize true merit,
there is no reason for this drive's
not going across. From all indi
cations the campaign is well or
ganized and is being handled by
competent women. Salesmen will
be everywhere. There is no reason
in the world for the thing's not
being a success. V. C.

""Two very conflicting stories con
cerning the automobile indus

One concerned the danger of a
strike in several of the large plants,
indicating a general unrest and
state of dissatisfaction among the
thousands of laborers employed in
this industry. The plants concern

" ic's streamlined aluminum al
lov train, made entirely of stain
less steel, is now being constructed
by a Philadelphia manuiaciuring
concern for the Burlington rail
road So now it is a race for
metallurgical supremacy as well
aa transportation supremacy, ine
new Burlington train, caneu me
Zephyr, has been made possible
thru a ranid Drocess of welding
developed by years of research. It
is a patented process oi weiuing
method involving a complicated
plortrical anDaratus and the weld
ing is done by quick touches which
fuse the metal but ao not aiieci na
molecular structure. This weld
ing process makes possible for the
first time nign speea ran;uu
transportation in light-weight
equipment of all-steel construction.
Experts say that the weight of
the two trains will be about the
same. The Burlington train is
constructed along aerodynamic
lines, in three-car units, and
powered by a six-hundred horse
power Diesel engine which will
give the train an estimated speed
cf more than one hundred miles
an hour.
Both of these new trains are
termed 'recovery babies," the prod
uct of research work by private
enterprise during the depression
years, and the laboratory scien
tists, physicists, and designers, and
the alloy makers apparently have
been as Instrumental in bringing
the new development as have the
railroads themselves. As the lab
oratory scientists view it, the three
great things in the modernization
of the railroad plant are: Improve
ment of road beds, straightening
out curves and leveling grades,
rolling stock and tractive power.
The engineers are of the opinion
that the present equipment is en
tirely too heavy and too expensive.
Improved service, in the shape of
greater speed, air conditioning, and
other conveniences, they feel, will
be the important factors in bring
ing back to the railroads the busi
ness that has gone to othet
transportation services.

tion was originally begun and this
aim has always and will always re
main the same, Its editors state.
Small Circulation.
Dr. Wimberly by consistently
printing nothing but the best in
poetry, short stories, and articles,
has succeeded in making the
Schooner a literary publication of
national dominance. Yet in spite of
Us recognized excellence and wide
rcknown its circulation is only 2S0.
The reason for this, those who are
connected with the publication
feel, is that no concentrated effort
has ever been made to really in
troduce the Schooner to its poten
tial nildwestern readers.
It is hoped that this program of
expansion which begins today and
will continue thru until next Fri
day will serve to make the Prairie
Schooner better known at home.
