A Suggestion for Our
Senior President.
NOW that the campus politicians have had their
fling it is time for some constructive sugges
tions as to what a senior or junior class president
can do if he wishes to do anything besides being
president. Today's editorial column will be devoted
to a suggestion to the senior class president as to a
program of benefit to the university. Possibly a few
of the big shots on the campus will be utterly
shocked when they hear that somebody feels that
class presidents should have some duties and work
to shoulder.
Several times this fall the editor of the Nebraskan
has stated that organization of the senior class with
the primary purpose of making loyal servants to the
university out of members of the class is something
that can't be done too soon. Nebraska needs such an
organization each year, t nucleus around which a
strong Alumni Association can be established.
Air. Hay Ramsey, secretary of the Nebraska
Alumni Association, has for a long time urged a
binding together in a solid group of each senior
class, the aim being to place in all sections of the
state and nation loyal supporters of the school. The
Alumni secretary finds it difficult to keep in touch
with graduates of the school, graduates who never
gathered in a compact group during undergraduate
years, alumni who never were instilled with the
desire to be of service to their Alma Mater.
Interested alumni and strong Alumni Associations
can be and are of inestimable value to their schools,
very directly in privately endowed colleges and uni
versities, and rather indirectly, but no less tangibly,
in state-supported institutions. This winter a strong
Alumni Association could work wonders as a sort
of lobby in the legislature working behalf of the
university, urging a grant of mure appropriations
as was suggested by the Board of Regents last week.
Behind each legislator in the state capitol is a
body of voters, many of them graduates of the uni
versity. Many of them have become apathetic in
their attitude toward the university, and those who
are still interested, don't realize just how they can
work in behalf of their school. A strongly central
ized Alumni Association could and should keep in
touch with these alumni in all quarters of the state,
informing them of developments on the campus, of
adverse situations (such as the present lack of
funds), and suggesting alumni activity.
The above statements are to be in no way inter
preted as an indictment of the Alumni Association.
Mr. Ramsey has done a fine job of organization,
cataloging, and contacting, but he hasn't had a lot
with which to work. Men and women, disorganized
as undergraduates on the campus and in the same
city, can't be expected to from into a compact, uni
fied university organization after they have gone
the ways of the four winds. The editor repeats that
there must be some sort of systematic unifying
process developed among members of the senior
Class.
What the best kind of organization would be the
editor does not claim to know. But he does know
that some sort of organization Is absolutely neces
sary for the good of the university, and is willing to
push a move to establish the senior class as the
Senior Class rather than let the group remain as
merely several individuals set on travelling their
own roads without recognizing a debt owed to the
university and the state.
At soon possible, senior class president, you
should discuss with Mr. Ramsey the problem of
senior class organization. He has long been inter
ested in some sort of action along that line. Before
you do that you should sincerely decide to put in
some effort to establish a Senior Class.
Now is the time for the senior class president to
act By acting he can remove that charge that his
office is merely a political plum good for individual
publicity and no more. The charge is justified. Will
there be a new deal?
University in
The Public Eye.
With major sports taking the spotlight the casual
observer often falls to notice the so-called minor
competitive groups that represent the University of
Nebraska in Intercollegiate sports. The student on
the campus also neglects to note that this school is
publicized and represented through many more me
diums than the major sports such as football, basket
ball, and track.
Classed as minor sports on the Husker athletic
card are baseball, tennis, swimming, wrestling, golf,
cross-country running, and boxing. This school Is
also put before the public by a debate squad, mem
bers of which travel to all parts of this state and
relghbortng territories during the winter and early
epring month. Other agencies through which this
university is publicized are the extension division'
work, ag college Judging teams, YM and YW deputa
turn committees and many other groups.
Many ardent supporters of the University of Ne
braska as an outstanding educational institution
deplore the lack of suitable dissemination of pub
licity toncerning the institution. These lean years
have forced ihe university to cut its budget provid
ing for a publicity agent, but groups and organiza
tions such us those listed above place the school
before the public eye.
Students have offered them from time to time
during the school year the opportunity for self -help
in the way of personality and physical development
and also the chunce to help the university In a posi
tive way. They should take advantage of these
openings.
CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
College Seniors
Look Ahead
"What are my chances of getting a job?,' That
is the question that many college seniors are begin
ning to ask as they noar the completion of their
university education.
Walter B. Pitkin, author of "New Careers for
Youths," has attempted to answer this question in
a recent magazine article.
The first step in finding a job, according to Mr.
Pitkin, is for young people in search of specific
careers to investigate carefully the possibilities of
small towns. For this reason every career-seeker
should have a survey of the field of his choice. Here
la an opportunity for a centralized employment
bureau to be of real service to students.
Mr. Pitkin gives a brief survey of the various
fields to indicate what the real facts are about the
supposedly over-crowded fields.
Teaching. "It is a badly over-crowded profession.
Though there is need for thousands of teachers,
especially in small towns and rural districts, there
is not enough money to pay for them. Today there
are thousands of rural teachers who are barely
escaping starvation. And the city market has long
been glutted.
The Law. Many experts believe that there are
reasonably good opportunities for (a) general law
yers in county seats and small towns; (b) high
grade trial lawyers; (c) lawyers "who understand
and can interpret clients' rights and duties in con
nection with the new industrial-social order and the
regulation of business and industry"; and (d) patent
lawyers. But no thorough survey of opportunities
in the law has ever been made.
Architecture. Architects who are trained in both
design and engineering will soon be wanted in sev
eral countries for mass housing. Already to federal
housing project In the United States opens up oppor
tunities for the design and building of low-cost
homes. Home owners, especially in the more pros
perous small communities, will soon seek the serv
ices 'of architects competent not only to design but
to supervise construction and financing of new quar
ters. Householders are through forever with the old
style building racketeer, with his shoddy ethics and
methods. The architect must accordingly broaden
his training and scope of activity. When prefabri
cated housing develops on a large scale, as it will
within the near future, opportunities for architects
who have been trained in the mass design and the
production of low-cost, but high quality homes will
unquestionably be promising.
Medicine. There are probably many openings for
general physicians in small towns and rural dis
tricts. Doctors are now wanted, for instance, in
rural Maine, and in several small towns in Vermont,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. There will soon be
fine opportunities for high-grade young doctors to
establish group medical service all over the country.
At first, such progressive young physicians will be
strongly opposed by orthodox members of the pro
fession. Nevertheless, low-cost medical care financed
co-operatively has already made remarkable head
way, notably in some parts of the Middle West and
in California."

Monday.
Reading Col. Lawrence's translation of the
"Odyssey" ($1.75), and the typography is swell.
Never realized before how exciting the tale is, or
how colorful. S. saw me reading the "Odyssey"
and thought it a great joke. Didn't see anything
funny, but put it in the magenta-colored cover to
Peggy Hopkins Joyce's "Men, Marriage and Me,"
and that made it all right. Liked this: "The long
ing for tears welled up in them both at once so
that their cries rose conjoined, longer drawn and
more piercing than the din of vultures or hook-tal-oned
sea hawks whose nests have been plundered
of their fledgelings by country-folk."
Tuesday.
K. here, and talked of Faulkner and Heming
way and Caldwell anil Conroy and the same old
violent, morbid, bitter outfit. Haven't read "Billy
Whiskers" for a long time, of "Black Beauty" either.
Even a novel o the old hearts-and-flowers school
would be refreshing.
Wednesday.
Christopher Morley to talk tonight. Wonder
if he'll have his pipe along. Looking at bis "Where
the Blue Begins" and "Swiss Family Manhattan."
They seem sillier than ever, and 1 don't like paren
thetical whimsy perhaps bis allegories aren't in
my wave length. Anyhow, Morley's informal es
says are among the best. Why does he try to be
Dean Swift?
Thursday.
Heard that the original publishers have bought
back the rights on Lytton Strachey's "Queen Vic
toria," and there will be no more dollar editions.
Went to four bookstores for a dollar "Queen Vic
toria" and finally found one with a hairpin place
mark in it. The jacket blurb calls the book "deli
cious." I hope it isn't. And how do you pronounce
Strachey's first name? . . . S. brought "God's Little
Acre" by young Georgian Erskine Caluwell. Sat up
until too late reading the darned thing. Southern
decadence, class struggle, pornography.
Friday.
Took dives into the new one-volume edition of
"The Science of Life." It's popularized and pedes
trian, and it's fascinating reading. Read about
tsetse-flies, polyps, and crossing pink four-o'clocks
with white four-o'clocks. Felt very learned. Had
a long argument with L. about evolution. Discov
ered that we were talking about entirely different
things, and neither of us knew what we were talking
about. But H. G. Well, and bis aon, and Julian
Huxley, who wrote "The Science ef Life" have done
a very satisfying job. All the marvels and myster
ies of life are made to sound like fiction. Must
read Wells' new autobiography, too.
Saturday.
Must get hold of "The Man with the Bull
Tongue Plow" and "Wine From These Grapes."

Get Jobs.
Contrary to thu general belief of
undergraduates and the public at
large, American industry is anx
ious to employ college men. There
is an increasing demand for their
services despite the present unem
ployment situation. Thus spoke
Harvey G. Kllord, personal direc
tor of Armour and Company, in an
address a short time ago at the
convention of the National College
Press Association.
Mr. Kllerd urged, however, thnt
boys entering college make up their
minds as to their probable future
and design their education accord
ingly. Kvery large organization
must train men for important posi
tions and each one has to have
somebody to train. There are al
ways vacancies to be filled, and
every industrial organization is
anxious to get the ereum of the
college crop, we are told.
"Much of the knowledge which
our business requires can be
gained best through actual work in
the packing plant. This docs not
mean that we intend to start men
in at the bottom by asking them
to do unnecessarily hard manual
work. An older school of indus
trialists may have done this sim
ply to test the stamina of their
young men. It was like hazing in a
college fraternity. We do not con
sider this neceusary or desirable,
however."
College men need have no fear
of being submerged iu a large or
ganization since careful study of
records shows that just as soon as
the man has acquired the neces
sary knowledge of fundamentals,
he is moved ahead.
Personnel exports of Armour and
Company obtained from several
midwestcrn universities fifty most
likely prospects and of those grad
uates but few have failed to live up
to expectatoins.
Fifty men! Out of thousands of
graduates! Well, perhaps there is
some hope anyway.
Brown Daily Herald.
Mars Does IS'ot
Keep the Peace.
The R. O. T. C. favors prepared
ness but opposes war, says the
commandant of the local unit. "The
R. O. T. C. is as much against war
an any campus group, but should
the country find itself in war,
members of it believe in being pre
pared," he maintains.
We have no quarrel with the per
son, but rather with the whole mis
guided theory which prompts such
remarks. It is similar to the same
expression which came forth from
the pen of a student member of
the unit who declared he saw no
conflict between student military
training and pacifist tendencies.
If the R. O. T. C. is against war,
why did it not join the anti-war
demonstration last Saturday night
on this campus, or the many others
held throughout the nation at col
leges where there are units of the
corps? If the feeling of the corps
is against armed conflict, why is
there not some effort made to help
in the fight for peace?
That we must be prepared for
the next war by taking two or four
years of military training at col
lege, Is a viewpoint challenged by
expressions of the Secretary of
War himself and by the facts as
they actually stand, quoting the
1930 report of the Secretary of
War, Mr. Dern says:
"With all due acknowledgement
of the splendid corps of R. O. T. C.
graduates, it must be recognized
that they will require a further
period of training on mobilization
to fit them for the performance of
their duties."
However, the utter futility of the
R. O. T. C. cannot be fully appre
ciated without taking into account
the inexorable advances which have
been made in warfare methods in
recent years. The World war ush
ered in a revolution in military
methods. Since then developments
have continued apace.
It must be certain that the
R. O. T. C, spending the bulk of
its energy on training reserve offi
cers in the infantry, artillery, and
cavalry service, ffS it does, has
about as much relation to modern
military preparedness and warfare
as would a course of training in
medieval jousting.
Our attitude toward R. O. T. C.
is easily explained. We are op
posed to its existence because we
recognize it to be an instrument
for perpetuating martial sentiment
in colleges and universities. Such
an institution has no place in an
academic community dedicated to a
philosophy of peace. We note that
the R. O. T. C. is the rallying point
for those who believe that nations
must be prepared, for those who
shout the slogans of patriotism, for
those who put the interests of the
nation above those who live in it.
We see no htrength in the poi.
tion of those who believe the best
way to avoid war is to prepare for
it. Moreover, military training be
comes an agency for the dissemi
nation of nationalistic propaganda,
in an age when every one must
recognize the interrelated interests
of the whole world.
