termed "The Spirit of Ne

W. Crabtree, secretary-general
of the World Federation of Edu
cation associations and secretary
emeritus of the National Educa
tion association, In his address on
"My Own Plan of Service," pre
sented at the Thursday evening
session of the National University
Extension association convention.
"Many a university is said to
live apart from the people of the
state who support it. Far too
often this is a just criticism. Not
so with the University of Ne
braska," declared Crabtree in sup
Dorting his native state.
He believes that the university
does its part best by first render
ing service to its own people, and
that it has never lost sight of
youth and citizenship. Altho it
does not neglect scholarship, it
keeps In close touch with the peo
ple and the state and has done so
ever since the election of the first
faculty.
Reaches AH People.
"You have doubtless yourselves
observed that the organized move

people with educational oppor
tunity, centers right here at the

capitol," continued the educator
who has spent half a century of
his life in teaching and in pro

ACCEPTS

FOR U. N. BUDGET
Committee Recommendation
For $3,584,611
Passed.
CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY
Final Passage of Finance
Report Predicted for
Next Week.
After preliminary considera
tion in the Nebraska senate
Thursday afternoon, the uni
versity budget was turned over
to conference committees of th
two legislative chambers, along
with the general budget bill. Ac
ceptance of the finance committee'
recommendation of $3,584,611, the
amount allowed by Governor Coch
ran, was effected in the senate
without a dissenting vote.
Final passage of the general
budget bill will be accomplished
some time next week, it is believed.
First reports of the finance com
mittee were made known Wednes
day, at which time the house fa
vored the bill. A few changes by
the senate, not affocting the uni
versity budget, necessitated refer
ence to the conference committee
for adjustment of difference.
When the bill comes out of the
committ3e it will go to both houses
for final passage, and with the
governor's signature will become
law.
The present budget figure repre
sents a considerably larger amount
than that proposed by the house
in earlier consideration, when it
was placed at $3,442,180. Senator
Howell of Omaha had previously
moved to cut the amount to
$2,981,000.
Maintenance funds for the four
state normal schools were also re
turned to the governor's figures, a

Language Students to View
Film Produced by
UFA Firm.
"Emil and the Detective," the
first all German film to be pre
sented by the university, is being
anticipated bv students in the Ger
man department with much en
thusiasm, stated Dr. W. K. Pfeiler,
professor of the teutonic language.
The talking picture will have two
showings at the Stuart theater, on
Saturday, May 16, at 9:30 and
10:45. Dr. Alexis, chairman of the
department, was instrumental in
obtaining the picture.
"It is a rare opportunity offer
ed students to see one of the out
standing talking films ever pro
duced in Germany," Dr. Pfeiler de
clared Tuesday
The film is produced by the UFA
company in Germany, comparable
to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in the
United States. It is written by
Erich Maestner, the most promi
nent young lyric writer of Ger
many, ranking with Heindrich
Heine.
Dr. Pfeiler believes that the pic
ture shows an authentic view of
life in Berlin, and that the German
wording is unusually distinct. He
stated that more than 400 students
have read the story in first year
German classes. The film is a full
length feature lasting seventyfive
minutes, showing the experience of
a boy in Berlin on chasing a crimi
nal who has stolen money from
