; The Cripple
; Must Be Healed,
A LONG with many other institutions the Uni
versity of Nebraska has suffered from lack of
finances since the advent of the present economic
depression in 1929. Every two years the Nebraska
legislature meets, and at the same time the univer
sity Board of Regents addresses a petition to Ne
braska's honorable governor asking or begging for
enough money to keep the school functioning as it
Bhould. It so happens that the petitions when read
to legislators have fallen on deaf ears, and appropri
ations fall another notch.
At a meeting of the group last Saturday the uni
versity's supreme administrative body drafted an
other petition urging provision of more appropria
tions by the etate legislature, addressing the docu
ment to Governor Charles W. Bryan.
An increase of $832,920, boosting the two-year in
come of the university back to the 1931-1933 level
of $4,164,600 from the present $3,331,680 is urged in
the petition presented to Governor Bryan by Fred
A. Marsh, president of the Board of Regents.
Because of cut appropriations the university has
been forced to undergo numerous hardships in re
cent years. Fine teachers have seen fit to move else
where because of lowered salaries, forty-two em
ployes in major positions were dropped, and salaries
of all major employes have been slashed 22 percent
for the first year following the last legislative ses
sion, and continuing with a cut of 20 percent for the
second year of the biennium.
This university cannot continue to function ef
ficiently under the limitations of the present budget
in the face of rising commodity prices, possible in
flation, increases in government salaries. Effici
ency has been impaired as it is. An example is the
inability of the university library to purchase new
books. Such a situation cannot continue long in this
school, because an institution of higher learning,
particularly the arts and sciences college, depends
for the most part on the latest and most up-to-date
literature in carrying on its educational work.
University enrollment has increased, and as a re
sult teaching facilities are not what they should be.
Luckily the Board of Regents provides a reserve
emergency fund of about $150,000 set aside as a
fund available at any time for the hiring of new
faculty members to take care of an increased stu
dent body.
For some time university officials have been
seriously considering possibilities of erection of a
new library on this campus, to take the place of the
eld structure which is threatening to collapse on a
moment's notice and is lacking in shelf space suf
ficiently large to take care of books belonging to
the institution.
Of course, the main difficulty facing ambitious
UoulB urging the building of a new school library is
the lack of finances. Where can the school get the
money? Possibilities of a stamp sale among citizens
M Nebraska have been considered, the head librari
an figuring that $1 from each citizezn of the state
Would provide for a fine building. No matter how
th money can be secured it stands as a fact that
a new library is a much-needed improvement on this
tampus.
Ultimately the problem of university appropri
ations and needs is being placed before citizens of
the state of Nebraska thru their representatives
and senators in the state capitol. Many people of
the state turn up their noses when discussion of
the university starts, because they can't see any
connection between the plow and a university edu
cation. Because they can't see this connection and
the profound progressive effect of a university on
A. population, they declare against added appropria
tions for the school.
Cultural and ethical standards of nations are
dictated by universities. Education is being given
more and more attention and recognition by gov
ernments. Hitler pays a compliment to universities
when he recognizes their power s influences on
the people.' Because of their power he is squelching
their academic freedom, and is adapting their cur
ricula to his own needs. Educational institutions
from the kindergarten thru colleges and univer
sities are potent Influences in the life of a people.
The public of Nebraska must come to the realiza
tion that this university can't be crippled forever.
A people's first concern should be for the education
of youth.
Nebraska's legislature, when it meets this winter,
must pay heed to the Board of Regent's petition.
Members of the Nebraska Alumni association
Should make it a point to campaign in their respec
tive communities for added appropriations.

have taken their places along with democrats as
rulers of the roost. The campus Progressive plat

platforms. Still others ot a more cynical stamp

many of those casting ballots voted for men they
had never seen nor heard of. It is quite doubtful
that the latter explanation is the true one; those fel
lows singing and making speeches Monday night
were just having a good time.
Students of political science no doubt see some
thing significant in the way of trends in the Green

the faint suspicion that junior class presidents are
voted into that office so that dear old Tri Tri Tri

so they can say, 'Well,' look at me. I don't have to
be an Innocent to be a celebrity!" Lord knows why
a man wants to be a faction president.
Change is a good tonic in campus politics. It gives
the party out of office a chance to find fault with
administration of the trying duties.
CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
Working One's Way
Through College.
Dean Christian Gauss, of Princeton university,
made an accurate observation in his annual report
to President Dodds when he pointed out that the
morale of the financially embarrassed undergradu
ates "cannot be expected to thrive under straining
and oppressive conditions of life."
"The struggle to obtain an education has become
so difficult for so many men in college that we are
in danger of turning out too many embittered and
resentful young men at this time when our national
and international problems can be solved only thru
the growth of wisdom and tolerance," Dean Gauss
"Not for sentimental reasons," he continued, "but
in the interest of really wholesome education, we
must make it possible for our undergraduates to
live under conditions in which the avoidable
stresses and strains are not too serious; we must

was criticized by the Pi'inceton dean.
"There has been, in too many cases," he states,
tendency on the part of the parent
to hold off in making definite provision for the son's
educational budget in the sometimes selfish but hu
man expectation that the college or the boy would
this responsibility. In many cases
this resulted in a most unfortunate predicament for
the undergraduate."
amazing figures were reported
to President Dodds by the director of the bureau of
appointments and student employment.

BY CHANCE.
Opening the 1934-1935 season,
the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra,
under the baton of Rudolph Seidl,
Monday night presented a varied
program of classics. Beethoven's
Overture "Leanora" No. 3 from
"Fidelo" opened the program. The
second selection In the first half
was Mendelssohn's celebrated
"Scotch Symphony" usually pro
grammed as his "Symphony No.
3." This selection was dedicated to
Queen Victoria of England. In the
second half of the concert "L'Ap
prendti Sorcier" by Dukas and
two dances from Smetana's opera,
"The Bartered Bride" were played,
"Folks" and "Dance of the Come
dians." These two dances are de
cidedly Bohemian in flavor and
were especially well received. Clos
ing the program was "Russian
Sailor's Dance" from "The Red
Poppy" by Gliere. Due to popular
applause, this last composition was
repeated. The next -concert will
feature Paul Althouse as soloist
with the orchestra and will be
given at St. Paul's church on Dec
4 at 8:15.

Two visitors in the drama de
partment recently were Henry E.
Ley and Merrall Brian. The latter
is an instructor in the department
of speech and drama from Wash
burn college, Topeka, Kas. Mr.
Brian was especially interested in
the work being earned on here by
the University Players, and his
specialty is the making and oper
ating of marionettes and puppets.
Mr. Ley, better known to former
Ncbraskans as "Hank," played in
"Pollyanna" and "He Who Gets
Slapped" besides many other pro
ductions, while a member of the
University Players. He was active
also in the Collegiate Players while
in school. Now he is a successful
banker at Wayne, and while down
here on a Banker's convention, vis
ited the scene of former days and
renewed old acquaintances.
Speaking of contests, the sixth
musical convocation will be held at
four p. m. today in the Temple the
ater and will be given by advanced
students from the school of music.
The public is invited. The program
will be opened by Josephine Wad
dell, a student with Wilbur Cheno
weth, who will play Chopin's "Bal
lade in A Flat Major." Jean
Thompson, a student of Howard
Kirkpatrick's will sing "How Gent
ly Here" by Mendelssohn and "In
Italy" by Iris. Debussy's "Dance"
will be given by Robert Burdick, a
pupil of Mrs. Ross. Laura Kimball,
student of Alma Wagner will sing

Next Saturday nearly everyone
will be given a chance to yell and
sing to his heart's content (in fact,
they have had that opportunity at
rallies throughout the week). They
will not, however, be singing mere

one of the ten college songs which
are listed on the All America
eleven, compiled by Mr. Clark for
his article.
Nebraska's alma mater song in
question is "The Scarlet and
Cream." There are, of these in
cluded in the list, three songs
which make use of the same tune,
the songs of the University of
Colorado and Michigan. Others
listed are the University of Cali

other list of light college songs
which have an all-American rat

dollars of gate receipts every year,

It is surprising to note what peo
ple have written college songs at
one time in their career. Many fu

the words and music of songs while
they were in school. Outstanding
among these are Cole Porter;
Deems Taylor, who is now compos
er of metropolitan opera and who
collaborated with William Le
Baron, the big film-and-camera
man, in writing the song called
"N. Y. U. is Our Home, Sweet

his "Marching Song"; and Robert
Hillyer, winner of this year's Pu

"Trinity's Baccalaureate Hymn."
There have been many other
