Tinkering With
The University.
THE university, traditionally the subject of a
couple of pieces of legislation during each ses
sion of the legislature, is being tinkered with again.
Receiving the approval of the house of representa
tives this week was a joint resolution providing for
the submission of a constitutional amendment to
do away with the board of regents.
The bill, which must yet take its course thru
the senate, the governor's office, and the electorate,
provides for a Nebraska board of education of nine
members. Taking the place of the present board
of regents and the administrative boards of the
other institutions, this group will handle the affairs
of the university, the four state normal schools, the
school for the deaf, and the school tor the blind.
It is assumed that the move is being made in
the hope of economizing in educational administra
tion, altho opponents of the bill have consistently
declared that the new board will be more expensive
than the present plan.
The hope of economy seems to be the only
basis uron which the new board can be justified,
for there has been little or no complaint against
the boards as they now stand. On the other hand,
there is a chance that definite harm may result
from the abolition of the present set up.
The university itself is a big enough unit to
require the exclusive attention of an administra
tive group. So are the four normal schools. Plac
ing them all under the supervision of one small
group will mean that none of the units will receive
the time and attention of the board necessary for
the best interests of the institution.
Education of the state's youth is too serious
a matter to be tossed about like a plaything. And
this proposed new board seems to be too frail a
vehicle to entrust with the important and numer
ous duties of administering the state's educational
institutions.
This Fee
Business.
A contributor to the Student Pulse today gives
voice to a question that is probably existant
in the minds of many students. That same ques
tion also caused some stir this week on the floor
of the Nebraska house of representatives when
university appropriations for the coming biennium
' were under consideration. That question has to do
' with the fee for the swimming pool. "What is be
ing done with the surplus?"
Like the Deity, the higher ups on the Nebraska
', campus move in mysterious ways their wonders to
' perform. At least a shroud of secrecy surrounds
various little matters such as the swimming pool
and the coliseum bonds.
The Daily Nebraskan, in making that state
ment, is not making any accusation, nor does it
even suspect that anything unusual has taken place.
But it would create a better feeling and clear up
a lot of doubt, both on the part of the student body
and the people out state who support the institu
tion, if an explanation were made of where these
various extra sums are being placed.
In connection with this business of fees, R. D.
makes another point. If the student union propo
sition goes thru care must be taken to see that
exorbitant and unnecessary fees are not charged,
so that a surplus, such as seems to have resulted
from the swimming pool fee, does not occur again.
Iluey
' 'Again.
HITTING the headlines with monotonous Huey
Long (remember, the man who wants to divvy
up everybody's wealth but bis own) continues down
the path to what looks like a third party for the
next election. His latest act Is toward gaining the
support of Father Coughlin (he's the man who with
the aid of radio and blarney played a large part
In defeating the world court! by endorsing the po
litical objectives of the shouting priest. 1
The most Interesting thing to Nebraska about
this move on the political chessboard is the fact
Long declared that among others he would sup
port Nebraska's Senator Norrls for president. It
it doubtful If Norrls knew anything about this state
ment, for surely this state's great solon has more
than enough wisdom to allow himself to become
associated with the politically ambitious Long. That
also would seem to hold for most of the other men
named by Long as prospects for his support on any
ticket.

A Student Proposes
Some Good Questions.
TO THE EDITOR:
AT a time when there is a movement to erect
a union building, that is to be paid for by the
students for the greater part, I think an inquiry
should be made into the cost of other projects for
which students have been taxed. Take for ex
ample, the swimming pool.
Each and every semester for four years each
student has paid a $2 medical fee of which $1
was supposed to go to pay for the swimming pool.
According to estimates as to the number of students
enrolled the number ran around 5,000. At this rate
$40,000 has been paid towards the pool just from
registration. In addition to this there is deducted
from athletic receipts an item which is also to aid
in the payment of the swimming pool. This small
item amounts to $8,000 a year. Four years of this
and we get a total of $32,000. This makes a grand
total of $72,000, in round numbers, that has been
paid out.
The cost of the pool if I remember correctly
was to be about $40,000. If this figure is anywhere
near accurate it seems as if we have an expen
sive proposition on our hands. Of course, we haven't
made allowance for any interest but it wouldn't
run as high as $30,000 or so. Nor have we taken
into consideration the money which has been col
lected from summer school students. Neither have
we considered the amount of money which will be
taken In in the iuture. The catalogue for the com
ing summer session finds the charge will again be
made. How much are we going to have to pay
for the pool?
I am nit objecting to the student union build
ing In principle but I am objecting to paying double
the amount that is supposed to be paid. Accord
ing to the figures students are to pay $210,000 plus
interest. With a $3 fee a semester and an enroll
ment of 5,000 the yearly payment will be $30,000.
At this rate the building will be paid for in nine
years. Is it absolutely necessary for the loan to
be repaid in such a short time when there are thirty
five years given to repay it?
Of course, the interest will mount if a longer
period is taken but why shouldn't students who will
be using the building In later years share some
what in the expense? The rate per semester could
be reduced, say to $1.50. At this rate the pay
ments would cover twenty-one years. The building
will still be in good shape at the end of this time
and could well be used many years after. I sug
gest that the finance committee consider the num
ber of fixed charges which the student already has
to pay before they assess him another. Three dol
lars in itself is not so n uch but is when it is added
to a sum which is devilish hard to raise right now.
To return to the original purpose I still think
that the students deserve an explanation of where
all of these funds have been going. I am not charg
ing anything; the explanation is probably very sim
ple, but on the surface it appears that we have a
very expensive swimming pool. And along the same
line the union building is to be a $300,000 structure
of which the students are to pay $210,000, let's be
assured that we don't have to pay double this
amount. When the building is paid for the charge
to the student should be removed.
I think our administration has enough common
sense to see that additional fixed charges to the
students are not going to better the conditions of
the university. These fixed charges are for definite
purposes of bettering living conditions of the stu
dent and not to better the educational facilities.
This is an educational Institution even tho some of
the men and women that come here are very in
terested in those phases of the university which
have nothing to do with education. For this reason
I think while we are bettering the students social
activities we might well look toward the number
of students who are able to take advantage of the
educational side of the university.

BY CHANCE.
Tuesday evening when Helen
Hsyet was presented In "Mary
Queen of Scott" in Omaha, about
twenty-five persons from the uni
versity were fortunate enough to
attend. Acting honors were di
vided between Miss Hayes and
Philip Merivaie. The contrast be
tween the chsractert of George
Washington, played by Merivaie in
"Valley Forge" and Merivaie as
"Earl of Bothwell" in the Hayes
production, was most marked.
Last year Maxwell Anderson's
play, "Mary Queen of Scots," wai a
contender for the Pulitzer prlxe. It
Is being considered as an early
production for the University Play
ers next season.
Even though the production la
beinf toured, and the staging is no
stnail problem, every detail of the
technical production waa handled
as carefully as the original New
York showing. The sets which are
used en tour are the original sets.
The cUspatch with which the
scenes followed each other
" strengthened the continuity of the
drama and aided in no small meas
ure the keeping of excellent audi
ence contact that the play enjoyed.
Although over 3,000 were in the
auditorium, the slightest aound on
the stage waa audible, and for over
three houra Nebraakans were priv
' lleged to ae what will in future
'. times possibly be considered as
"theater history."
Although Mr. Merlvala was ex-
cedent as the headstrong lord and
' fover, the acting honors rightfully
went to the play's star, Helen

that It was the ensemble efforts of

unvanquished Mary In the final
scene of the play. Her defiance of
the over-bearing English Queen
was as true and as telling as any
dramatic situations we remember.
It was a perfect blending of the
abilities of the dramatist and the
actress. Although she had lost
her crown, her lover, her child and
her friends, there was no doubt
when the curtain descended on
that scene who had won in the bat

many centuries were to pass be
