Bonbons and
Gum Drops.
rE university asked for a box of bonbons, but
It la beginning to look like It will have to be
content again with a nickel's worth of gum drops.
Early this winter the board of regents sub
mitted to the governor a proposed budget for the
next blennlum, asking for what they considered a
necessary sum to run the university during the next
two years $4,200,100, a boost back toward the
1931-1933 level.
Regents, administration, faculty members, stu
dents, and all others vitally interested in the univer
sity received their first rude shock, however, when
the outgoing governor proposed a budget which
recommended an appropriation for the university
of $3,684,600. While something like $222,420 above
the starvation rations of 1933-1935, this still lacked
much of approximating the requested sum.
This piece of paper, which was never officially
submitted to the legislature, meant but little and
everyone again settled back to wait for the new
governor's idea on how much the state's educational
plant should be allowed during the next two years.
Now Governor Cochran has brought in his budget,
ia which he recommends that the university be ap
proprlated only $3,590,600 for the next biennial
period.
This budget is In accordance with the state's
move toward strictest economy and reduction of
taxes. Such a move is most commendable, but it Is
questionable if anyone ever thought of that little
joker in the deck, known as "false economy." A
program of economy, like everything else, can be
carried a bit too far.
It is undeniable that the driving force of a uni
versity is its teachers. It is also undeniable that
some of the school's best teachers have been lost la.
the past because of low salaries which seem to he"
traditional at Nebraska. And if one may believe
the regents, who seem to be an Irreproachable
source of information for this fact, it is undeniable
that during the blennlum 1933-1935 it was necessary
to drop 62 regular employes, 42 of whom were In
major positions.
In addition the university, because of this strict
economy, was forced to cut the salaries of all major
employes 22 percent beginning July 1, 1933, al

Critics of such a proposal will
vkrtlnf nut that students who lack
sufficient funds to buy textbooks
should not be attending tne uni
versity. However, there are many
needy students who are forced to
clip their budget to the very bare
essentials and while textbooks are
absolutely necessary, the purchase
cost of them often prohibits
worthy students from securing an
education.
Since the universities are forced
during this period to eliminate all
expenses thst sre not directly con
nected with the administration of
' education, they could not be ex
pected to devote funds to such a
purpose.
There is no reason, however,
why a student organization could
not promote a charity dance to col
lect enough money to establish a
rental library of textbooks for stu
dents who find it impossible to
purchase them.
In inaugurating such a plan
there are many problems and de
tails to be developed, but more
time and effort has been expended
on this campus on projects of a
less worthy cause.
It is also quite possible that book
stores would be willing to co-operate
in such an enterprise. It
would not affect their sales and
would promote goodwill among
the students. Book stores have
often been criticized for their ex

would serve as an opportunity to
correct this Impression.

THE DAILY ILLINI.
Specialization for
Professors.
The values of a liberal educa
tion for the college student have
been highly lauded by the coun
try's most esteemed educators for
the past decade. The manifold ills
resulting from a too Intense spe
cialization in a single field have
often led this group to denounce
the student who enters college
with the sole ambition of becom
ing a doctor or lawyer, for exam
ple, and charge him with eternal
Ignorance of affairs outside his im
mediate circle. Only in rare in
stances, they predict, does he re
tain that openmindedness which
characterizes the first year stu
dent. Now, however, the educational
spotlight has been shifted to glare
mercilessly on the professors
themselves who, it is charged, have
too frequently narrowed their
scope and are resting content on
knowledge pertinent only to their
individual fields. Dr. John Bryant
Conant, president of Harvard uni
versity, attributes the detrimental
horizontal" movement in our large
universities to this disinterest of
professors in departments and col
leges other than their own. He be
lieves that If this development con
tinues it will make the institutions
simply "federations of separate
academic entities" fatal to acquir
ing a liberal education both by the
students and the faculty.
In certain subjects, especially, it
is essential for an Instructor to
have a thoro understanding of
more than his single field. As illus
tration, a political scientist who
has no concept or economic ineory
and a not well integrated knowl
edge of history cannot present
lectures aa clear and practical as
one well acquainted with such fac
ulties. Co-operation between the
various colleges and an alertness
on the part of the professors would
contribute much toward pulling to
gether the manv diverse branches
of the university and ultimately
make for more Intelligent and cer
tainly more practical instruction.

Such a situation cannot long continue. The

Ag Column
BY
DICK JACKSON
and GORDON HOBERT
Well, here goes for another se
mester of rambling about this,
that, and the other thing, talking
about everything and knowing
nothing. Any number of people
may contribute to this column so
if the style changes as fast as the
style of ladies hats the blame may
be laid at the door of many homes.
The answer to the question "Is
Rochford coming back?" has been
turned into the dean's office in the
form of a class schedule. Rochford
is the student with the biggest job
on the campus on his hands. As
manager of Farmer's Fair he will
have enough to do without going
to school, but knowing Charlie as
we do there is no doubt in our
minds about his ability to handle
it, (the fair) and also to find time
to argue with a few professors on
the side. There will soon be a
time when Manager Rochford will
be drafting men and girls to help.
For the benefit of the freshmen a
word to the wise might be of im
portance at this point. A good
plan to follow when assigned to a
job on the fair committees is to do
the job to the best of your ability.
Several reasons make this the ad
visable plan. One is that student
opinion is an important factor In
the full enjoyment of a college ed
ucation. Another reason is that
certain penalties are imposed upon
those who have to be nrioea to
work. Ag college is noted for the
co-operation of the students that it
has when a job of the nature of
the Farmer's Fair has to be put
over. The reputation has to be
kept up and the fair is more than
a one man's job.
Have you missed something?
Yea! Two of our most capable and
best liked students left us to go to
Merrill Palmer school When Ar-
dlth Von Housen and Florence
Bnxman departed for Detroit they
left Ag college floundering about
like a ship without a rudder. It
will be hard to stay on the right
course without the help of these
two girls but we do not begrudge
them the opportunity they have
earned so we'll have to do the best
we can without them.

arc lamps used for the contest; one

thru. Apparently it failed to dis
courage him. Since that time he
has built and set up at various
times eight different telescopes in
his own back-yard. Usually, he ad
mits, he stole equipment from the
last instrument to help him on the
next, so that he seldom had more
than two at once.
; A couple of years ago Menke
built himself a miniature observa
tory, eight feet square, there at
Hebron in the yard. The lower sec
tion is made of brick and stucco,
and the upper is a dome eight feet
across. This dome revolves on roll
ers so that the two-foot opening up
one side can be moved and permit
the young observer to see different
parts of the sky.
Housed in tins structure is ni
latest telescope, with a lens two
and 1-2 inches in diameter. A pier
of. cement supports the equipment,
and one-inch pipe forms the polar
and I declination axes. Galvanized
Iron rolled into a tube holds the
lens.
At the university under Pro
fessor O. C. Collins MenKe
has turned his attention to sky
photographs taken through the
telescope. Several interesting
"shots of the moon are on exmuu
at the observatory and testify to
his skill.
"I took some pictures througn
my small telescope at home," he
said, "but I didn't really havejnuch
success until I used the larger in
strument at the university."
He has attached a special cam
era alone the side of the university
telescope which automatically fo
cuses on the object seen in me tele
scope. Photographs of star groups,
since thev are exposed for some
time, catch and hold more than the
human eye, he explains. Scientists
have used the camera to discover
stars too distant for the eye to see,
and thev can show proof of their
finds ' with the pictures, Menke
points out.
When he first became interested
In his hobby, the youthful astron
omer read in a magazine some in
structions in telescope building for
the amateur. Gluing one disc of
thick glass onto the top of a bar
rel, he rubs a second disc over it,
using an abrasive material be
tween to do the grinding. Because
the lenses have to be smooth, he
walks round and round the barrel,
rubbing the glasses together with
short strokes. This grinds all
sides evenly, although it takes him
from 30 to 40 hours to make a
suitable lens. He estimates thr.t
magnifying thickness can be judg
ed accurately to one-50,00uth of
an inch in this way.
Finer abrasive material Is Used
to smooth the nearly finished lens,
and rouge and water polish it.
Such a method, Menke says, na
turally makes one piece of glass
convex, while the other becomes
concave.
"Since telescopes are of two
types, amateurs should work first
with the reflecting type," ne
warns. "A perfect convex lens is
much more difficult to make than
a suitable concave mirror which
reflects the image."
From his little observatory at
home, Menke usually observes the
moon with an eyepiece which mag
nifies 120 times, and he magnifies
the stars about 50 times. By
changing the eyepiece he changes
the power. Next summer he plans
to make a new and larger tele
scope with a three and one-half
inch lens.
"Time and patience are mostly
what it takes," he says. "A tele
scope is about all the tools an as
tronomer needs."
Back in 1899 Joel Stebbins was
graduated from the university, and
has gone on to become a famous
director of astronomy at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. Ralph Menlte
eyes his path with hope and cour
age and the patience to grind 30
hours on a lens for his telescope.

Wilbur Chenoweth, eminent or
ganist, pianist, and composer, was
presented In concert by the music
committee of the First Plymouth
Congregational church Tuesday
evening. This was the first formal
concert the artist has given nere in
Lincoln since his return from New
York. Mr. Chenoweth has been
featured in National Broadcasting
company programs; appeared in
concert at the famous St. Peter's
cathedral in Rome, besides other
European and American cities;
had many of his compositions
aiven over the air by such artists
as Jessica Dragonette; and record
ed most of his compositions for the
Ampica piano and Duo-Art organ.
A few of Mr. Chenoweth's com
positions are the lovely "Love
Everlasting" with words by Joyce
Ayres, Nebraska, A. T. E. C;
"Dreams, Nothing More Than
Dreams," "The Shimmering Wat
ers." "Evening in Venice,"
'Doubts," "March Triumphant,"
'The Harvest Festival," "Waltz
Caprice," "Valse Charmante," and
"Bouree and Musette." The latter
selection was played on the pro
gram last evening.
"Suite from the Water music,"
which was written for King
George of Hanover and England in
1715 for a royal water festival ny
Handel, opened the concert. "Toc
cata and Fugue in D Minor," by
Bach, for which opus the artist
was praised "for his masterful in
terpretation" by Ottorino Respighi,
director of the academy of St.
Cecilia in Rome, was an outstand-
ng selection. Schubert's immortal
"Ava Maria" proved to be a popu-
ar favorite again, and "East
Wind" from Rowley's suite, "The
Four Winds," is always a delight
ful gem. Cesar Franck's "Piece
Herioque" and Bonnet's "Caprice
Herioque" were two of the heavier
selections, masterfully played.
Other compositions all beautifully
and skillfuly payed were "Capric-
cio," by Ragers; Ravanelo's "Inno
di Gloria," "La Concertina" by
Yon; Wagner's glorious "Prize
Song" from "Der Meistersingers;"
Chenoweth's own "Bouree and

ent country. We noticed also, that
the restaurants had a good outside,
but when you looked in the kitchen
or so, it was not so very clean.
"Then further, to Corbln coun
try. We were surprised In the road
between, to come unexpectedly
upon a mountain which was not In
the road map. The colors of the
evening were beautiful and wo
slopped to admire them. Wo wished
to see the mountains in daylight
so we stopped at Corbin for the
night.
Saturday, Dec. 22. This was
one of the most wonderful days.
We entered the mountains after
leaving Corbin. The road wont up
and down and we were delighted.
"We were impressed with how
poor the country was little wood
houses, little coal mines many
negroes. There were many little .
placards such as "Repent Your
Sins, Cod Save Your Soul, etc."
This was a sign that the people
live a very hard life, as people in
the Swiss Alps are very faithful
and cannot live without a strong
religion.
"We came to Tennessee. One
noticed here that the people were
wealthier there were larger and
more prosperous looking farms.
"Kentucky was our unanimous
choice of the states so far. Most,
it looked like large meadows in
the Alps except for the snow cov
ered mountains.
"From Tennessee to North Car
olina, we saw the beautiful Smoky
mountains with their snow covered
heads, and we had dinner in Ashe
vllle. We followed the French
river for a long time. It was easy
to Imagine Indians paddling along
in their canoes, as it was very
wild and untouched appearing.
"Sunday, Dec. 23. Things were
just a bit icy, and the sun made
the highway look like a silver -ribbon.
We were very sorry it was
Sunday, because many cotton miil
villages appeared, and we were
not allowed to inspect them.
"Breakfasting in Greenwood, we
saw our first palms, and then trav
eled on into the swamp region. It
was so warm that we did away
with the sl.le curtains. It really
looked like the jungle. We were
deeply impressed. The trees all
stand in water: there is solitude
and everything appears very nat
ural. The trees falf and no one
cares.
"On to the cypress gardens. We
saw a placard advertising the spot
but when we arrived, we learned
that the admission was S2 each,
and we derided that only one
should go in to take the pictures
and tell us about it. However, it
was very fortunate that the wife
of the owner was nearby and In
sisted that we all three enjoy the
marvels of the place. We went .
boats among the trees. It was
like a fairy tale trees with molds
hanging down sunset- colors of
the rainbow. One can so hard ex
press such things!
"Now we really noticed tor the
first time that we are in the south
with its tropical vegetation. On
the highways we saw many, many
negroes in old rattling Fords. We
drove to Charleston and had our
first sea food dinner. Ingeborg
said at the very first that she had
never eaten any fresh fish In Lin
coln, and she made up for lost
time with shrimp as her specialty.
"After dinner we went down
town and saw the ocean for the
first time since our voyage to
America. There were many cars
with people parked in them, but
they had a beautiful place. In
Charleston the distinct line be
tween the modern American busi
ness district and the old un-American
Spanish district ia plainly
seen."
