A contriDutor 10 the Student
Pulse column today points out a
very lamentable situation on the
university campus. R. V. asks why
Drofessors at Nebraska manifest
SO little interest in the university,
its projects, and its standing. This
is a question which many thinking
students have asked themselves
and each other for a number of
years, and none yet has satisfac
torily answered.
Strangely enough, R. V. has hit
upon the one answer that has oc
curred to student leaders . .
namelv. that professors are not
given an important enough place
in the university's system to en
courage them to make the prob
lems of the university their own.
Every year or so, good men leave
this college to instruct in other
schools; and we understand that
many more are looking every year
for some place to go.
If professors could help to form,
in however small a way, the poli
cies of the administration, it does
seem that they would be more like
ly to feel themselves an integral
part of the university. Their busi
ness is to teach those who attend
their classes, yet is it not also their
business to help build up the school
in which they teach so that more
and better students will attend
those classes.
Many times, instructors are com
pletely in the dark as to the atti
tude of the administration on any
controversial subject. This is not
particularly sad, but it serves to
show what a small part they are
given in the really bigger part of
the school ... its life outside the
classroom.
YE see in the last "Current HLs-
tory that in Moslem countries
there is no rrouchinir about the
weather. If it be bad, then Im

complain of natural phenomena
would be offensive to Allah. We
might do well to imitate this re
straint when the thermomoter hits
105 here on the campus.
A MAN in Kansas City is suing
the relief administrator for re
fusing him funds thus causing him
to go about dirty and forcing him
to make his own living. He evi

bis own bread and butter. ..and

A WOMAN at the university
hospital in Omaha is slowly

TVTTH this issue, the Nebraskan
suspends publication for the
year. The editor wishes to thank
those who assisted in its publica
tion during these hot summer
months, when, without their help,
the task would have been a pain
rather than a pleasure. If the Ne
braskan has provided students in
the summer session with enter
tainment and instructive reading,
in any small measure 4t has not
been printed in vain.

Why No
More Interest?
To The Editor:
Why is it that so many profes
sors on this campus have so little
real interest in the university it
self? They spend a great deal of
time and enthusiasm on their
academic work and many even
take a personal interest in the stu
dents, yet they somehow fail to
take any pride in the university
they serve.
The Nebraskan this summer has
pointed out that registrants in the
summer session do not seem to
have the same enthusiasm for the
school as do the winter students.
This is easily understandable. In
the winter time there is a unity
among students which is not
achieved during the summer. If
instructors and professors never
seem to have any feeling for the
college in which they are teaching,
and in which they may have
taught for several years, how can
their students be expected to ao so
when they have no organized
group to encourage such a feel
ing?
Of course, this does not mean
that the professors themselves are
at fault, but can they be given
no part in the administrative pro
gram of the university so mat
they can feel their responsibility
towards that school as well as to
wards their own work?
Does the administration take
these men and women into its con
fidence, ascertain their opinions on
subjects of interest, or seek their
advice and comment? If it does
not would it not be a worth while
idea in an attempt to oring about
a greater unity in the faculty as
well as in the students?

Contemporary
Com men t
Employment
Obstacles.
According to Dr. Burton Morley,
professor of economics at the Uni
versity of Alabama, the greatest
obstacle in the pathway of the col
lege graduate as he seeks a job is
nis own inertia.
'The better half of my graduat
ing class those with the better
scholastic and extra-curricular
records usually have little trou
ble, for most of them will be em
ployed within a period of not more
than six months after graduation."
Dr. Morley claims. He goes on to
say that those students who are in
Ihe lower half of the scholastic rec
ords and who show no interest in
activities of the student body are
the same ones who fail to find em
ployment. Such a state of affairs is easily
understandable. It takes energy
and ambition to spend many hours
a day doing something just for the
sheer joy of doing it as one must
do to become successful in any extra-curricular
activity. And it is
the same energy and ambition that
appeals to the man who intends to
hire someone to help him make a
success of bis life work.
The advantages of taking part
in outside activities during a
school term are many. Besides pre
venting the students from becom
ing stale and discouraged they give
bim self confidence, practical ex
periences, and tdd much to bis en
joyment during his education.
Daily I Hint.
Rule by
Terror,
Terrorism seems to be the order
of the day in Germany. Recently
the dread people's court, which
has its headquarters in Berlin,
sentenced one Rudolf Clans, whom
the prosecutor described as "an
incorrigible communist and
rogue, to die under the head
man's axe.
The headman's axe and recent
suppression of the Jews and the
Catholic church indicate a trend
toward combating the opposition
of Hitlerism with violence and
despotic rulings rather than in
telligent and fair presentations of
both sides of the questions, letting
tne people decide the issues rather
than the issues being decided for
the people by a relatively few.
Despotism has led and always
will lead to revolt Hitler some
day will learn that violent, heavy
handed suppression is no antidote
for 'riticisro directed toward his
policies. A tragic and scathing in
dictment of Hitler and his regime
was tue report made recently by
the League of Nations that thou
sands of Jewish families are wan
dering over Europe, attempting to
find a new home and readjust
their lives the years they spent
building their homes, wasted,
There has to be an answer some
day there will be the people
whom Hitler now beats down with
force may use those same tactics
for their answer.

The business firms of the city of Lincoln
who have actively supported this publica
tion have appreciated your patronage
during the summer session. In return
they have made it possible to continue
your summer paper at a time -when every
dollar is spent with care.
In return, it is no more than fair that the
students PATRONIZE business firms who
PATRONIZE the institutions of THIS UNI
VERSITY. The NEBRASKAN brings to your attention
the greatest values in history. Business
men expend hundreds of dollars each
summer with the NEBRASKAN in turn for
which they should receive your fullest
consideration.
