Editor ArSoVJ nn:n8:::::::::::::::;:::::::::: Kits BUSINESS STAFF Richard Schmidt Business Manager ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER9 Truman Oberndorff Bob Shellenberg , Robert Funk The Senior Class Should Organize. In an address to the members of the executive committee and board of directors of the Nebraska Alumni association Saturday, John H. Age, presi dent of the organization, stressed the fact that it is the duty of alumni of the University of Nebraska to create a fuller understanding of the importance of the functions of the school and its growing needs. Said Mr. Agee: "With a registration this fall of 600 more students than last year the problem of providing proper and adequate equipment as well as qualified Instructors, will be a most serious one which I believe the next legislature will fully recog nize." "While the strictest economy should be exer cised in these times in the operation of all public institutions and every effort made to see that public money is spent efficiently so that the tax burden Is made as light as possible upon the taxpayer, never theless, thinking people will most certainly agree that facilities for advanced education and training of future citizens of Nebraska should not be cur tailed to the place where false economy results." The Nebraskan Is struck by two important points brought up In and by that speech. The first is that, what the Increased registration and the need of more facilities, the legislature should see fit this winter to grant added appropriations for both sal aries and equipment. Secondly, it Is highly Import ant that alumni of the University of Nebraska or ganize into some unit capable of exercising some influence acting for the betterment of the university. In all sections of the United States educational institutions have suffered since the advent of the depression from the lack of funds. The trend has been so precipitous in some localities so as to por tend a sad lack of education of future citizens of this country. It has been suggested by many high officials and statesmen that the states and nation possibly could afford to forget highways and battle ships for a while and emphasize in the budget plan ning for educational institutions. Two years ago the Nebraska legislature pared down to the bone on university appropriations. As a result professors are badly underpaid, the library can't purchase books, and if it weren't for the CWA and FERA no campus Improvements could have been made in the subsequent period. It Is easy to understand why the legislature cut down on appropriations. People thruout the state of Nebraska were feeling the bite of depression. Because of that they wished to see taxes cut That meant appropriations must dwindle. Altho it is difficult for people several hundred miles from ft school to get the connection between a school-book and a plow, they would notice in a few years a pro found difference in the tone of the commonwealth If the educational institution were shut down. A blended culture, a human understanding, and ft sense of proportions is developed by many students of the university before they graduate. They are consequently better fitted as university graduates to serve their state In both public and private pur suits than they would be if they hadn't attended college. Since it is now so hard for many taxpayers to understand why the university is of any importance in the state, alumni of the school should gather to gether in some sort of potent organisation and work for the school, and because of their understanding, develop an understanding in the minds of other citizens. President Agee brings out ft very important point when ha suggests that alumni work for the betterment of the university. To back up Mr. Agee some sort of organization should be established. Where can that organizing start? The best place of all would be in the senior class. In this class of young men and women who will soon graduate are many people capable of doing some fine work for Nebraska In future years. But it takes a group to put across a project over a wide territory. Any class organization that has ever taken place at the University of Nebraaka has developed for silly, superficial reasons completely lacking in foresight snd perspective. Class officers have vir tually nothing to do. and nothing of any conse quence. If the senior class should organize with its eyes toward the future, the senior class president would actually possess some duties of immense proportions. With a long time program in mind, and cer tainly with Immediate purposes at hand, alumni and seniors of the University of Nebraska should as soon as possible team together and work with ft common objective. No longer would the Student Council bo badgered about the lack of duties and no-excuse-for-existence of the Senior class president Nebrculias Alumni association under the direc tion of Ray Ramsey has developed into a fine or ganization already, but many people are lost by the wayside immediately following graduation. These people could be drawn into the fold and be perma nently useful as servants and envoys for the uni versity. We hope that in outlining this idea we have given the Student Council and Alumni Association another idea to digest. It seems to be a logical pre sumption that in the idea there are great possibili ties, possibilities that mght sometme n the future mean something to the university and the state. A Student Awakening. If ever the depression does anything, it will make the average college student grow up. Instead of being Imbued for four years with the spirit of a high school freshman, the student of today is liable even In spite of himself to absorb some sort of coherent grasp of what life is all about Weekly the indications of a changing student attitude become more impressive. It is very gen erally reported by educators that students are de veloping a new kind of zest for learning that re flects an attitude of "no matter what happens if I never get a job, if I never make a dime I still have this." "Only a few years ago the great events of un dergraduate concern were the cane spree, the flag rush, the tug-of-war and the somewhat crude atten tion paid by sophomores to the incoming freshmen," says Dean Herbert E. Hawkes of Columbia College at Columbia University. Students stunts on American campuses, he finds, are giving way to a lively interest in social and political situations of which many an under graduate five years ago would hardly have been aware. Today, student newspapers, particularly, reflect the change: At the University of Oregon, an edi tor is fired because he editorialized on what he thought were certain governmental shortcomings in his state; at the University of California at Los An geles, an editorial pointedly comments on the im proper distribution of political handbills without in terference by authorities, In the face of severe re prisals in such cases in the past (the latest hand bills favored a candidate for governor); at the Uni versity of Southern California, the editor takes a thwack at the alleged "Hollywood influence" on the football team; at Columbia, the editor would be called a softie if he forgot to thwack the team now and then. All in all, the college I. Q. situation is looking up. When the boys start getting more excited about politics than they do over the petty ribaldries of "Hell Week," the future of civilization is in safe hands. STUDENT PULSE Brief, concise contributions pertinent to matters of student life and the university are welcomed by fhls department, under the usual restrictions of sound news paper practice, which excludes all libelous matter and personal attacks. Letters muat be signed, but names will b withheld from puhlicantion if so desired. Contributions should be limited to a maximum nf five hundred words In length. Why Not Enforce Frosh Cap Ride? TO THE EDITOR: Four short week ago, about 1,500 students made their debut Into the University of Nebraska, laying claim to the distinction of being the members of the 65th freshman class to enter her cultured walls. During the three-score years which have elapsed since the first of those incoming classes departed at graduation with diploma and degree, time has given rise to a group of customs and traditions which Nebraska calls her own. In recent years, the decree of the Society of Innocents that all fresh men men shall wear headgear symbolic of their scholastic status has taken its place as one of the most beautiful of those traditions. This fall, as in previous years, the Innocents launched the custom by compelling all male freshmen to expend 60c of their none too-plentiful stock of cash upon a so-called "freshman cap." The new comers, supposing that their appearance on the campus, resplendent at all times in the scarlet-hued turbans was enforceable by penalty, dotted the cam pus the first week with brilliant patches of red. But once in possession of the cash, the Innocents apparently discarded the practice, and lost all their enthusiasm for it Consequently, as a result of un enforcement this laudable rite has degenerated into a meaningless procedure connected with registra tion, and, as some regard it, with the Innocents' purse. The student appearing on the campus in a freshman cap is subjected to the scrutiny of the whole student body, and receives the conspicuity due ft heretic. Formerly, freshmen wore the lustrous skullcaps out of fear of the paddle until Dad's Day and the accompanying Freshman-Sophomore tug-of-war. IX the lower classmen emerged the loser, they were obliged to wear caps until the first snowfall. Four years later as the strains of the commencement re cessional died away, they were able to look back upon that enforcement as one of the most beautiful and significant events of their college career. Four years hence, the freshman cap will hold no place in the memoirs of the gradute, unless long neglected steps are taken Immediately. Without reform, this rite of and for freshmen will pass Into oblivion and Nebraska will be the loser. On the eve of Dad's Day, not ft word has been said concerning the cap. Is Nebraska's football team to be the only university institution possessing any pep and vlvic ity ? Is Nebraska, long-rated as one of the liveliest universities existing, losing her power and drive? Heaven forbid. Innocents! Let's do something about the freshman cap! A Fraahman. By James Crenshaw. Editor College News Service. JUSTICE 10 LEAD HUSKERS AGAINST AMES SATURDAY Grand Island Guard Captain In Big Six Contest With Cyclones. LINEUP HAS 2 CHANGES Francis Likely Get Call at Fullback, Pflum for Left Tackle. Glenn Justice of Grand Island, a 185 pound senior guard, will cap tain the Huskeri in their import ant duel with Iowa State in Me morial stadium next , Saturday. Justice is a brother of the famous Chick" Justice, K T ' J GLEN JUSTICE who DlavedCom husker football some years ago, and won quite a reputation as a guard In the Big Six. Glenn is starting where his brother left off, and, altho troubled with an early season leg Injury that hasn't yet healed prop erly, he has play ed in every game CourU.y Journal, to date except that with Minnesota. Due to his Injury, he was left home when the team made the trek to the north land. Last Saturday he was cut standing in the line as the Huskers "bumped off their first opposition to their re-annexation of the Big Six grid title Oklahoma. He also played stellar ball against Iowa before being removed after an In jury. Two major changes were an nounced in the Husker lineup as the team started its week of prac tice for the Iowa State tilt. Walter Ptlum, the 235 pound Imperial tackle, by virtue of his great work in blocking the Sooner punt that eventually led to a Husker touch down and victory, will get the call at left tackle. Pflum blocked well, and played good defensive ball against the Sooners to earn his promotion. The other change so far apparent is the displacement of Glenn Skewes by Sam Francis at the fullback post. Francis is a sophomore smasher, while Skewes is a senior. The soph plunger outweighs Skewes, and outpunted anyone on the field, in cluding Caeh Gentry, at Oklahoma. His boots averaged 52 yards from the line of scrimmage. He also crashed for the touchdown. There is a three-way duel being waged for the starting post at left halfback between Ron Douglas of Crete, a soph; Bob Benson, of Pen der, and Johnny Williams, of Lin coln, both juniors. Douglas earned the starting honors in the Iowa and Oklahoma games because of his defensive ability, but he is be ing hard pressed by the Pender speed flash, and by the general utility man. No other changes in the person nel of the starting lineup could be detected Monday, altho several may appear later in the week. Monday afternoon s session con sisted mostly of a review of the slow motion pictures taken of the Nebraska-Oklahoma game, and criticism, of the plays and manner of playing. Much attention was paid to blocking and tackling as shown by the all-seeing eye of the camera. Light workouts followed, to stretch tired muscles. Tuesday will begin the heavy work of prep aration for the Cyclones. Fl 11 "in mi ON 1UESDAY 'Personality' Topic of Dean Heppner's Speech in Ellen Smith.

Engel, professor of German at the University of Kansas and for a number of years chairman of the Junior cnllee-e committee, is the author of an article, "The Jun ior college in Kansas, mv-iva, appearing In the current issue of th Junior Collece Journal. The article is a fifteen year history of tne Kansas junior college. Tn tha article. Professor En Bel points out that although the law prescrioes tne legal procedure iur establishing an extension to the hlo-h srhnnl course, no nrovision is made for the use of the term "Junior college." It is not made clear whether the two years exten sion was to be a separata currlcu- lar unit or whether it was to be a post-graduate high-school course within the already existing high school organization. There are now iourteen accred ited Junior colleges operating in the state, according to Professor Engel. Of these, ten are public and four private. The ten public junior colleges were all organized horuoen th vears 1819 and 1929. The public Junior colleges in Kan sas are in t ori scoit, uaraen juy, Arlrannn Hit v. Coffewille. Iola.

E. F. Engel, German Professor at K. U., Writes 15 Year Junior College History are Central College at McPherson, Highland College at Highland, Pa ola College at Paola, and St John's College at Winfield. St. Joseph's at Hays and Sacred Heart College at Wichita are now working to meet requirements to be fully ac credited. Two other private Junior colleges, St. Mary at Leavenworth and Mt. St. Scholastics at Atchi son, both girls' Catholic schools, have expanded Into four-year col leges. Enrollment in Kansas Junior col leges In the past ten years has shown a marked Increase, accord ing to Professor Engel. A grading system is the same as that used at the University of Kansas is employed for students in junior colleges. Three grade points are given for each credit hour of A, two for B, one for C, none for grades of D, and for each credit hour of F, a grade point Is subtracted. In following up the work of the students who later came to the University of Kansas to complete their collegiate work, Professor Engel found that ft high proportion of those who were later elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa, national scholastic frater nity, had received their first two years college work in some Junior college.

INNOCENT SONG CONTEST DRAWS OUTSIDE ENTRIES (Continued from Page 1.) cast over a nation-wide hook-up. It is hoped that the song will be se lected in time to be presented not later than the Pittsburgh game. "It will be a good opportunity for a prospective song writer to get a start," according to Owen Johnson, Innocent president, "be cause we will certainly give him a great deal of publicity." Several nationally prominent or chestra leaders have been invited to act as Judges of the songs, it was announced last week by the senior honorary society. An effort has been made to obtain men who have attended college and whose orchestras feature college songs on their programs. Student opinion is decidedly in favor of the plan to obtain a new song, and a student author of the song would mean even greater ap proval. Entries in the contest may be filed any afternoon with Jack Fischer at the Daily Nebraskan office. Iowa State 'Math' Teacher to Study A Year in London AMES, la. Dr. A. E.

Among the outstanding mem bers of the cast for the play now In production, "H e r Master's Voice," is Miss Portia Boynton. She will play the part of Aunt Mln, the wealthy widow who fi nances the singing lessons, among many other things. This is a char ftcter role, and represents a typical middle aged woman who is very silly as well as too wealthy. Portia is a Junior who has taken part in many activities of the dramatic department. ' In the Children thea ter she played la "Peter Pan,!' "Treasure Island" and "The Little Princess." Studio theater produc tions as well as "Counsellor at Law" which the University Flay? ers gave last year are others she has been in. She wrote an original Slay called "Two Alone" while in le studio theater, and this sum. mer she played with a stock com pany which played "As Husbands Go" In Mead, Neb. Last year Por tia wrote three original songs for the Kosmet Klub show, "I'm Out For That Man," "When Love Is Forgotten," and "Moonlight, So What?" which was a tango. She likes to take long walks, which is rather unusual with most young ladies; likes to eat baked beans, prefers blues and browns and es pecially likes to see Greta Garbo and Katherine Cornell. Last year she worked the props in all the shows and her impersonation of "Lady" Alice Howell as Millicent Gordon In a take-off of "Dinner At Eight" will long be remembered, by those who saw it last year. This summer she was in a production of "He;" her home is here in Lincoln and she has one more year in which she will no doubt shine for the players. Strange as It may seem, Ar maria Hunter will soon realize his life ambition to be a crooner. Aa one saunters up and down the aisles at rehearsal or it outside Pete Sumption's office In the Tem ple, they will be sure to hear our hero vocalizing or hallowing "Love In Bloom," the nice sweet tittle number he will do for ut In "Her Master's Voice." In case he won't be asked to render an encore tn the how, he has arranged to sing a duet with Melvin Fielder, and that will be "Sweet and Low." mis play Is really supposed to be funny, but just in case anything went wrong and it didn't turn out as comical as Is Intended, it will still be screamingly funny when Mr. Hunter tunes up. It seems that two years ago when the players took "Romeo and Juliet" to the Jocelyn Memorial in Omaha, Ar mand entertained the patrons of Paul Spor's cafe with three songs, accompanied by the orchestra. Be fore the play, the cast was dining at the cafe, and as Armand seemed to wish to sing, he was finally pur suaded to do a little impromptu entertaining, so since he has had such valuable experience In a night club, his role In this show won't be so difficult. Tonight at 8:15 o'clock, Eleanor Pabst organ student with Edith Burlington Ross, will give an or gan recital at the Church of Our Redeemer, 12th and D Sts. Bettie Zabriskie, associate professor of cello, and Herbert Schmidt, pro fessor of piano, will play a Franc sonata for cello and piano on the regular 2:30 O'clock radio broad cast this afternoon over station KFAB.
