Some Charges.
TVTOW we're getting someplace. At least enough
interest has been stirred up to the proposed Stu
dent Union to move the editor of the Nebraska Blue
Print to assail the propostlon. The difficulty Is that
one can see little rhyme nor reason in what the en
gineering college writer haa to aay on the matter.
Quoting from the editorial:
"It further states that many of the argu
ments it (The Daily Nebraskan) has listed in
favor of the venture cannot be refuted by in
difference. As a result one would surmise that
the Union building is an immediate necessity to
the welfare of the University of Nebraska, Noth
ing could be further from the truth.
"The following case would moie aptly fit
the project:
PRO
Keep up with the Joneses.
CON
Good common sense.
"Throughout the NEBRASKAN S campaign
it has been emphasized that a majority of the
other middle-western universities possess student
union buildings. Undoubtedly this Is true, but we
wonder if these same universities did not first
take care of more urgent needs. We would ask
the NEBRASKAN, To you not think that a li
brary and an engineering building should be the
first consideration in a building program?' We
would anticipate an answer such as this. Tea.
but the Student Union will not endanger these
projects as the money for the Union is to be
raised thru student taxation.' To refute such ar
guments we would refer our Journalistic friends
to the legislature's recent controversy on the uni
versity's appropriation. There they would readily
learn that the people of the state do not approve
of student taxation In the university."
rpH E Daily Nebraskan and sponsors of the cam
paign In the first place deny that the drive is
being made In a spirit of "keeping up with the
Joneses." It is true that news stories have pointed
out the existence of Union buildings at other middle
western schools, but only In an attempt to show the
benefits inevitably derived from a center for stu
dent activities.
Those benefits which have been pointed out re
peatedly are undeniable. And it is also undeniable
that the Nebraskan campus is in dire need of those
benefits. If an honest attempt to better the campus
is trying to keep up with the Joneses, then all at
tempts at reform may as well cease.
In the second place the Daily Nebraskan ad
mits, as the Blue Print editor anticipates, the need
at least for a library. And as the Blue Print editor
further anticipates, the Daily Nebraskan feels that
' the library proposal is not endangered by the Union
proposition. If it came to a choice between the two,
however, the library would have to receive first con
sideration. There can be no admitting, however, the sup
posed refutation of these arguments. There was
nothing done nor said In the legislature which could
be construed In any manner to mean that the "pen
pie of the state do not approve of student taxation
in the university." There did arise a question over
the swimming pool fee, but it was soon settled by
presenting accurate figures. Furthermore tho qucs
tlon that arose was not condemnatory of the fee as
long as it was being put to the use for which it was
assessed. The controversy arose over an assumed
surplus.
"TVTOTHING can be more unjust than a group of
upperclassmen to work out a tax -system which
will raise the fees of the students for the next ten
years fifteen percentum ... to work a hardship on
future student is entirely out of line," concludes the
Blue Print editor.
It is necessarily the upperclassmen who are in
charge of the campaign. Initiative and knowledge
of ways and means could come only from that por
tion of the student body. And it is the upperclass-
men who will receive no benefits from the Union
buildlne except as they return to the campus as
alumni.
Underclassmen are having their chance to talk
up in meeting and have their say by the circulation
of petitions. The support of the student body must
be had In order to carry out the project If the
underclassmen feel that they are being treated
fairly, they may indicate that by not signing the
petition.
The Daily Nebraskan, however, cannot see that
anvone is rolne to be unduly burdened. A fee of
three dollars surely Is not out of line, and it Is to
be assessed at registration time when the extra
charge is not so likely to be felt
And to balance that cost the Daily Nebraskan
sets up the obvious benefits to the whole student
body that would result from a Union building. Run
ning the risk of again being accused of keeping up
with the Joneses, the Daily Nebraskan wishes to
point out the satisfaction and enthusiasm of other
schools for their Unions.
There can be no doubt that the value received
from a Union far outweighs the personal cash outlay.
Good
Reading.
rr'HAT did the Nebraska legislature ao wun me
proposed state income tax? Who introduced
the bill?
What was the case on trial in Federal district
court In Lincoln last week and what was the out
come? What was Germany's latest move in the re
armament game ?
What did the Fanners' Holiday association
say and do at Dts Moines last week end? Who is
president of that organization?
What is the status of the liquor bill in the
Nebraska legislature?
On what project did the United States navy
open operations Monday? Who is in charge?
rpHE foregoing is not a guessing game, but only
a few of the questions that might be taken from
the turbulent current of events as presented on the
front page of amy dally newspaper. But It la safe
to say that only a small percentage of the student
body could make a passing grade on an examina
tion of this sort Such tests in the past have re
vealed a wide assortment of ridiculous answers.
Concerned only with their "college life," the
greater share of students have a tendency to glance
briefly at the front rage of a newspaper, devour
the comics, absorb the sport or society page, and
feel that they have done their duty in keeping up
with the news. Others do not even bother them
selves to pick up the paper.
Such an attitude is hard to understand. Many
of the events that are portrayed daily in the head
lines will affect even the most indifferent reader, if
only in an indirect way. And as the student leaves
college, the greater will become the chance of direct
effects.
The value of carefully reading the newspaper
has been recognized by educators. Journalism, poli
tical science, and otter instructors are insistent in
their demands that the student keep abreast of
the times. The newspaper is taking its place in the
high schools.
It is a creature of life. Its columns are as in
teresting as the latest novel or play. Try really
reading the newspaper sometime. It might be surprising.

With the coming of spring and
the lilacs, New York drama fans
turn to the over popular topio or
"what will the Pulltxer PNxe win
ner be this soring." Every May
the Drama Jury of threa Judges
meets In solemn conclave and se
lects the play which has done the
most toward enrlohlng Amerloan
Life and Education.
What will the 1035 choice be?
So far there have been only vague
rumors rumbling about in mia
night press conferences. The sea
son haa been an abundant one as
far as productions have been con
cerned. some ninety-six plays hav
lng opened October 15 and April
15th. Of this number only twenty-
three have been complete or par
tial hits, which should give ample
room for speculation. Top play
wrights of the day have been rep
resented too, and the dopsters who
are doing the off-the-cuff deciding
have pointed grimy thumbs In sev
eral directions.

Maxwell Anderson whose "Mary
of Scotland" occupied these col
umns some few days ago, returned
this season with a strong contend
er. Basing his .material .on the
American Scene, he drew a poetic
and harrassed figure .of George
Washington .In ."Valley Forge."
This is on of tho season favorites.
Eugene O'Neill haa .been absent
from Broadway this year, as was
Phillip Barry. Robert snerwooa
whose "Reunion In Vienna," was a
popular hit of yesterday, has re
turned with Leslie Howard In .a
drama of modern reflection which
too many of the more astute stu
dents in tho field, looks like a
security for the honor. Samuel
Raphaelson presented a gayer
comedy that has lasted through
the spring winds and blows. "Ac
cent on Youth" is the title, the
story dealing with a dashing play
wright who finds that "love In
bloom" blooms late. Lesser names
appear as the authors of "The
Farmer Takes a Wife" the daguer-
rotype of New York when the Erie
Canal was an important factor.
The chief tragedy of the season
Is "The Children's Hour," showing
the effect of an evil bit of mali
cious gossip on the lives of two
young school matrons. This too is
a first play of its author I Helle
man, but has been praised for its
technique. Critics do not feel that
this will be accepted, although the
play is sincere and moving.
On the other hand Judging by
the complete disregard of the se
lection of the Drama Judges made
last year when "Mary of Scot
land" was the choice, and "Men In
White" the actual winner, any
thing may happen this season.
Which makes the uncertainty of
naming the winner more delight
ful.
While on the subject of "Mary
of Scotland," it's co-star Phillip
Merrivale has returned to New
York and thence to London where
he will confer on plans for his next
season's revivals of "Othello" and
"King Lear." His place has been
taken by Ian Keith who appeared
in the Pacific Coast production of
the play. The Hollywood cameras
start focusing on the same play
very shortly with Miss Katherine
Hepburn as the Scottish Queen!
The tired-out student is tempo- j
rarily insane, declares Prof. Floyd
C. Dockeray, of Ohio State unver
sity (Columbus). "After a long
day of classes, he is nervous and
jumpy and all the symptoms are
identical to those experienced by
the insane," Professor Dockeray
points out.
