Training for
Public Service.
TXTREMELY interesting to watch have been the
developments In education in connection with
public service. Purdue University recently an
nounced a course in public service engineering and
following closely on its heels came the Massachu
et Institute of Technology with a statement that it
was opening a course in public service administra
tion. Of even more interest is the establishment of
the National Institute of Public Affairs, which is
now offering three-month interneships to university
students interested in politics and government.
Significant first of all because the inauguration
of these courses indicates an awakening American
student body, these recent developments also sug
gest that governmental standards are rising, with a
consequent demand tor young men educated and
trained especially for public service.
TOR a longer period of time than one would care
to admit, college students have most success
fully emulated Rip Van Winkle. They have occupied
themselves solely with comparatively trivial campus
affairs, refusing, or at least neglecting, to remember
that such queer creatures as industry, commerce,
politics, and government existed. Reason for this
carefree and self centered attitude is probably found
in the ease with which a college student could float
out into the world and with not too much effort on
his part find himself in an easy Job.
Whatever the reason, however, the economic de
pression now seems to have snapped the student
somewhat out of his lethargy. During the past few
years he has been brought more and more in close
contact with unpleasant realities. Financial condi
tions have made it increasingly difficult for him to
remln In school. He has seen fraternity brothers
and other friends graduate, only to spend the next
two years looking for any kind of a job with which
to eke out a bare existence.
Now that the student has been rudely awakened
he is beginning to rub his eyes, look around a bit,
and begin to realize the conditions that surround him.
Not only has he started to wonder about the causes
back of the depression, but he has become curious
about what makes the wheels go around.
With that new attitude has come a demand
from the student for courses which will help him
understand the various functions of government and
industry.
WORKING from the other end has been a grow
ing recognition by those in power of the fact
that the old time, baby-kissing politician is on his
way out These old timers were given their chance
and for the most part succeeded in making a miser
able mess.
Intelligent political and government leaders,
who saw In what direction the straws were blowing,
began to cast about for some new element in whose
bands they could safely place the public welfare,
and decided that the obvious and the wise choice
would be an enlightened coming generation.
They realize, however, that this new group could
be no more effective than the old unless it were ade
quately trained. Consequently there came a demand
from the other side of the fence for the necessary
preparatory courses, culminating at the present time
in the developments already noted.
The program must be widened and enlarged,
however, before maximum results are obtained. The
future welfare of the nation lies in the training of
its youth.

Bible. With the scheduling of games with Indiana
for 1936 and 1937 the popular Husker mentor has
come thru again with another worthy opponent for
the lads who cavort on the gridiron. Sad to note,
however, the news story which told of the Hoosier
carries also stated that football connections with
Iowa U. had been severed.
The Interfraternity Ball Saturday night, her
aided with the usual amount of drivel devoted to the
so-called major social affairs on the campus, will
again provide entertainment for the socialites able
to dig up the necessary wherewithal. Those attend
ing should realize the uniqueness of the affair. It is
one of the few of the year at which some darling of
the campus is not chosen to queen it for an evening
over the assembled multitude.
"Early reports show Increase in registration,"
says a headline In the Daily Nebraskan. Now the
university, which for the past couple of years has
begun to think about empty class rooms, can start
to sigh a few sighs of relief. And to make every
body happy, college registration figures thruout the
whole country seem ti be definitely on the up-tum,
At last the Dally Nebraskan gets a contribution
to the Student Pulse column. Such contributions,
if short, to the point, and signed are always wel
corned. The editorial writer cannot always take an
impartial stand in the daily column and present both
sides of a question. Therefore, a clear presentation
of another's ideas on a question will receive full con
sideration from the Daily Nebraskan. Of course,
there will be no gripes forthcoming if someone sees
fit to back up the editor.
STUDENT PULSE
Brief, concise contributions pertinent to matter of
student life and the university are welcomed by this
department, under the usual restrictions of sound news
paper practice, which excludes all libelous matter and
personal attacks. Letters must be slimed, but names
will be withheld from publication if so desired.
Contributions should bs limlttd to a maximum of flvs
Hundred words In lenfth.
The Book Store
Question Again.
TO THE EDITOR:
"T'HE most talked of topic on the campus this week
is not the Tri-Delt formal or the Interfraternity
ball; students are having their biennial griping over
the low grade trade-in value of used books and the
need of some system of student exchange to permit
a fair trade.
The student council has spent the past three
months making surveys, compilations, and briefs on
the used book situation and little more. All of the
results from these surveys point to two facts: first,
that the difference between original cost and resale
price for used books on the Nebraska campus i.s too
great, and second, that a large number of leading
universities have a student operated and owned book
exchange that has saved the students thousands of
dollars. We are still waiting for action on these
facts.
Proponents ot a student book exchange have no
fanciful dreams of saving hundreds of dollars by
eliminating the middleman, cutting down on over
head, and saving on expenses. They realize that it
costs money to operate any type of exchange, but
where there is little competition, there is a tendency
for the existing agencies to take advantage of the
student's situation and charge high prices in com
parison with their resale value.
The student council is the student's own agency
Is it going to fail the campus or is it going to take
definite action on this question of a book exchange?

Comment
Good AW for
Senior We Hope.
Here's good news for the gradu
ates of 1835 or let us hope that it
Is. According to reports from col
leges and universities north, south,
east and west, this year's gradu
ates will go back to work. The fig
ures were obtained in a nation
wide survey to determine the ex
tent of promised employment for
graduate students.
As announced by the Wisconsin
Daily Cardinal, the Universities of
Wisconsin and Texas have in
creased demands for trained home
economics workers. Pratt institute,
Brooklyn reports 55 percent of its
prospective graduates from its art
school In February already placed.
Many other colleges have had simi
lar requests.
We have been waiting a long
time to announce anything so
promising as this and so we hope
that it can be more than half
right. Of course, it has been a
number of years since employing
has been done. And now it has to
corner more or les out of neces
sity. Especially in the public
schools is this true since for the
last few years they were of the
public-supported institutions cut
first. Now, with added enrollments,
the teaching forces have to be in
creased. Also, while stalf replacements
are expensive, some companies are
replacing pooriy qualified people
with more competent employees.

Exchange Book Store.
The Student Book Exchange will
open today at o clock.
Yesterday the lot al FERA com
mittee, after receiving further
word from Washington, decided
that the use of FERA workers in
the exchange project might en
danger the continuance of federal
aul to students on this campus. I
Therefore, the exchange will not
have the use of the FERA work
ers. Mark one up for the book
stores.
However, the student committee
and Manager Harvey Pulllam are
unabashed. They have made ar
rangements to use volunteer labor
in the exchange, and students who
are willing to give their services
will serve during the opening
days. No matter what happens,
Pulliam and his committee are go
ing to have the exchange open for
business today.
Meanwhile, in the house of rep
resentatives, sentiment is growing
for the passage of a bill creating
a university-owned and operated
book store, to sell books and sup
plies to students at cost. The fact
that the legislature is full at
former students of the university
adds to the strength of the bill,
snd Representative Lon Alsup of
Carthage is preparing to make a
determined fight for its passage.
The action of the local book stores
in fighting the Student Exchange
has materially helped the cause of
the book store bill.
Today the students will have
their chance to use an exchange
which is their own. Altho It will
not have the attractive surround
ings and the convenience of local
book stores, the exchange will of
fer students who must count their
every penny a chance to save
money on their used books. It Js
a student effort to solve student
problems. -The Daily Texan.

is of the opUiir.n, however, that
