Education of
The Electorate.
17DUCATION of the electorate waa pointed out by
Dr. Robert A. Millikan at the Tuesday night
convocation aa the way by which the United States
can be saved from elements present within this
country which are capable of overthrowing the gov
eminent or of even destroying our civilization.
The public too long has allowed itself to be
swayed by emotional appeals, it was stated. For
this emotionalism must be substituted the scientific
method by which judgments are made on the basis
of rational thinking. The gTeat number following
blindly after the demagogues in this country was
pointed out as an example of the result of listening
to emotional appeals.
Secondary schools, the churches, and the news
papers are the agencies which must take the lead
in bringing about an enlightened electorate, the
speaker declared. Wen this is accomplished the
subversive forces in the country will be eliminated,
"the gloomy clouds now present on the horizon of
affairs will be dispelled, and a brighter day than the
United States has ever known will be brought
about"
Idealism made itself apparent here and there
throughout the speech as did extreme pessimism, but
it has been said many times that ideals sometimes
become realities. Furthermore it cannot be disputed
that the appeal of Huey Long, and others of his
type, has been to the uneducated, non-thinking part
of the population, and not to those who are pos
sessed of an inquiring mind.
a
In pleading the cause of education Dr. Millikan
stated that he was not referring to "higher educa
tion," but there can be no other conclusion than that
institutions of higher learning and graduates of
those institutions must take the helm in the second
ary schools, in the churches, and on the newspapers.
Investigation of the nation's secondary schools
reveals that too many of the teachers are little bet
ter than their pupils in the way of intellectual ca
pacity or even "book learning." They themselves
have been of the type which submits to an emotional
appeal. The training of capable teachers able to
pass on to youth the precepts of the scientific meth
od is the first problem of colleges and universities.
The same situation has held true for churches
whose main appeal is to the emotion. Whatever its
faults, however, the church does wield a tremendous
influence, and consequently there should be placed
in the pulpits men who can help light the way to
better political setups.
"Newspapers are rapidly becoming the greatest
influence in adult education," stated Dr. Millikan,
and thus a grit burden Is placed on the shoulders
of the nation's press. It, too, has suffered from the
wrong type of leadership And despite resentment
by old time newspapermen against college trained
journalists, men and women trained in rational
thought must fcuce their places in the editors' chairs.
Thus, it all comes back to the nation's colleges
and universities. There the final responsibility or
education of the electorate rests.
Despite the fact that Dr. Millikan failed in his
venture into the social sciences to live up to his
reputation as a physical scientist, there were cir
cumstances upon which the speaker may be ex
cused. While many felt that the implied political
partisanship in some of his statements was out of
place at a university convocation, blame for the
speech cannot be laid at Dr. MOlikan's door. It is
rather surprising to be suddenly told that one is to

Forgotten: One
Library Pronosah
OEEMINCLY shoved off Into a comer of the cam
pus mind by the busy round of scholastic and
octal affairs it the campaign for a new library
building. Brought to campus attention early this
semester, it has toon been forgotten.
The library, however, has not been forgotten by
.veryone. Persons interested in the proposal have
gone ahead to draw up plans and the request for
the necessary sum of money is still resting with the
state planning board.
This neglected proposal is only another example
of student indifference to any project, whether it be
of the most trivial or the most Important signifi
cance. Surely a new library building, one of the
greatest needs of this campus for many years, is of
more than enough importance to excite a bit of in
terest. Especially la this so since there may have to be
a choice between a Student Union building and a
library. The decision, however, is foregone. The
library would receive the nod.
There is a great possibility that the campus
may gain both objectives. It cannot be done, how
ever, by quiescent acceptance of circumstances.
There must be real agitation. The student body

consideration at the earliest mo

Wednesday by Fischer to obtain
co-ordinated support of the whole
campus in the drive are as follows:
Ag campus. Burr Ross and Bonnie

and Corinne Claflin; exhibits,
Dwight Perkins and Irving Hill;
alumni, Violet Cross, Charles Bur

ganizations. Burt Marvin, Bonnie

"There can be no question of the
crying need for this union build
ing which would serve Nebraska
students in so many capacities,"
Fischer declared. "Not only would
it house all campus publications,
governing bodies, and provide
rooms for all manner of organiza
tion and committee meetings, but
it would no doubt have incorpor
ated in it facilities for the com
fort and convenience of the fac
ulty. Bookstore With Building.
"Were our Union building dream
to come true, our book store pro
posal would probably be taken
care of automatically, while it is
probable that a student cafeteria
and private dining rooms would
also be provided. We may look for
ward also to lounges for both men
and women where time between
classes might be spent or where
one could meet and entertain his
friends. Then of course there will
be ballrooms and eventually a
theater which is another much
needed addition to our campus."
Photographic exhibits of student
union buildings at other universi
ties will be set up in the major
buildings of both downtown and
ag campuses Thursday. The dis
play, which is one of the facilities
offered by the Association of Col
lege Unions of which the student
council is an associate member,
will remain here until next Wed
nesday when it must be shipped
to Wisconsin. An attempt will be
made to have the full 100 prints
on display at the honors convoca
tion Tuesday morning, it was
learned.
No Conflict With Library.
Emphasis to the fact that the
union building campaign will in
no way conflict with the regents'
request for a library building was
given by Fischer who pointed out
that the regents had been inter
viewed before the union building
campaign was opened and their
permission secured to go ahead
with the drive.
"It must be remembered that
what we are seeking for the Union
building is a federal loan." be
said, "which is a very different
basis than that on which the li
brary is being sought We all rec
ognize the urgent need for a new
library and are heartily in favor
of one. Our activities are of a dif
ferent nature however, and we are
after jomeihing which is definitely
an decidedly a "tudent project
and that alone. We are co-operating
with the regents and adminis
tration in every respect
Several Sketches Submitted.
Several plans for the union
building have already been drafted
and sketches will probably be pre
sented for inspection by the stu
dent body soon after vacation,
Charles Bursik, secretary of the
committee declared. The commit
tee plans to seek a loan of $300
000 or more for the building, he
added.
"The committee welcomes any
suggestions on the part of stu
dents, alumni, ar faculty mem
bers," Lee Young, committee mem
ber, stated. "We will also be glad
to answer any questions we can
concerning the project. We feel we
have a more than even chance of
success if the student body gets
squarely behind us and pushes this
venture to the limit and we ask
everyone's support"

not persuade ourselves that those
who should have at heart the pros

circumstances."
"Enormous crime would result

a method for exchange of books,
Dick Fischer, a member of the
committee, reports that his work
is progressing rapidly and is
nearing completion. By this pro
cess of exchange now functioning
in many of the universities, books
useless here may be traded for
volumes in demand elsewhere.
An investigation of the bousing
conditions and efforts to find a
suitable location for the proposed
book exchange are still being car
ried on.
A research into the kinds of
books needed in a university book
exchange by contact with other
book stores here is being con
ducted by Lorraine Hitchcock, an
other committee member.
In the recent poll of other uni
versities in the country taken by
the committee, it was found that
three-fourth of the schools have
co-operative university book ex
changes. One-half of those not
boasting of this type of book
store are striving for a remedy.
The other half have private book
stores which have brought profits
down to a reasonable level.

FRENCH DEPARTMENT
T
OF 'EES MISERABLES'
Students Express Desire to
Sec Continuation of
Foreign Movie.
French students and those in
terested in the story "Lea Miser
ables" are expressing a desire to
see the second part of the all
French film which will ba shown
at the Stuart theater at 10 o'clock
Saturday morning .according to
Selma Goldstein, chairman of the
ticket committee. The first sec
tion of Victor Hugo's famous
classic was presented to a Lincoln
audience March 16.
"Les Miserables" is recognized
in France as one of the best films
ever produced in that country,
stated a member of the French de
partment A film by the same
name made in the United States
and entirely in English will ba
shown in Lincoln soon. The com
parison between the two is inter
esting. While the French film is
divided into thrett parts, each part
taking two hours to be shown, the
American movie is compact with
the entire action taking only two
hours. According to the same
member of the language depart
ment, the French feel much devo
tion and a great loyalty to Victor
Hugo and have attempted to show
it by an extremely careful repro
duction of his story of the life of
Jean Valjean.
May Bring Third Chapter.
Six hundred students and Lin
coln people viewed the first show
ing in March. So enthusiastic was
its reception, that negotiations
were made immediately for the
second film. If reception of the

will be brought to Lincoln some
time in May. The department also
hopes to arrange for an entire se
ries of French films to be pre
sented next year.
