Students
And Libraries.
T EBKAELES are wonderful phenomena. Yet
it seems that they are not considered
either wonderful or phenomena among stu
dents. They contain all the information and
all the knowledge owned and dispensed by the
university, still they are used only under the
greatest stress.
A university is as much obligated to dis
cover and develop in its patrons a love of fine
books just as truly as it is obligated to give
them knowledge and training. To retain one's
texts, and to own a library is a desirable and
Tvorthy objective for any man, and is essential
to him who continues his education throughout
his adult life.
Many students manage to continue through
the entire year of school without so much as
owning or seeing within a text in some of their
courses. I have sat with students in Education
courses, who have prided themselves upon their
not having looked into the text, nor had they
visited the Library; similarly, in some Eng
lish courses. They depended entirely upon
their fellow students.
"What is this great aversion to books, cou
pled to a seeming desire for what they are
pleased to term an education?
Books, to many students, are natural ene
mies whose complete conquest is indicated
solely by a. passing grade. Movies are substi
tuted for reading either for pleasure or profit,
and unfortunately so. Thus, as a reading pub
lic, we haunt our libraries for fiction, search
ing for romance or thrills, detective stories,
and pacifiers for frayed nerves.
Our libraries should be the finest buildings
on the Campus, beautiful within and without,
comfortable, with freedom, restful and attrac
tive, giving peace to body and mind, a mecca
for all who wish relaxation, information, and
quiet association with friendly and new au
thors. And above all, let them shed everywhere
their quiet and subtle invitation to the reader
to come again.
There is a great fascination in simply look
ing at books, there is so deep and subtle a mys
tery about even the most ordinary bound vol
ume. Is it not possible to cultivate m students a
love of better books and their contents, rather
than an instinctive hatred and aversion, and a
desire to get rid of them and their company as
soon as possible!

Why
We Lost.
TQ THE EDITOR t
Well, Nebraska has done it again. Fa
Tored with breaks and scoring opportunities,
the Huskers nevertheless tossed away another
fine football game Saturday and sent the Min
nesota Gophers home well on the way to their
second national championship. It hurt to lose
that game, but it seems that Nebraska has ac
quired a habit of losing its really important
games in the last several years. A search
through grid records will show that the facts
exist to bear out this statement.
If this is published some will say "Poor
loser, disloyal fan." But I'm not. I am going
out and pull just as hard as ever for that team
to win every remaining game this season. I'm
with them to the last ditch. But is it being a
poor loser if you have been observing some
thing you think is wrong and finally give vent
to your thoughts? I don't think so and so here
goes getting something 'off my chest that has
bothered me for years.
Why doesn't Nebraska get some good scor
ing plays? Why do they consistently lose
every important non-conference game on their
schedule, and by that I mean the ones that
really count? Nebraska should have won Sat
urday but they didn't have the scoring punch.
They should have won at Minnesota when they
lost 7-6 but they didn't have the punch. Nor
did they have it against Pittsburgh on more
than one occasion.
I know these were championship teams we
are fighting. But the point is we've had so
many scoring opportunities in the last few
years that have been completely muffed that it
really hurts. Why can't we have a champion
ship team?
Two things were evident in Saturday's
game. Nebraska didn't have enough plays and
its field generalship was poor. "Poolhall quar
terback 1" you say. Well, perhaps, but no less
an authority than Ted Husing was forced to
comment in his broadcast of the game about
Nebraska's lack of scoring plays. Nebraska,
Mr. Husing said, had a fine team, a fine bunch
of players, a back as good as any in the nation
In LaNoue, but every time Nebraska neared the
goal line he knew that it would be a miracle if
they scored because they didn't have a surprise
play and Minnesota knew too well the few Ne
braska tried. Now that was the picture that
was painted for radio listeners end It hit the
nail pretty much on the head.
Nebraska doesn't have the plays. It took
the trouncing by Pitt Inst year to educate us in
the use of laterals. And even this valuable as
set was not utilized Saturday when it wns sore
ly needed. Instead LaNoue and others were
sent into the heart of Minnesota's stone wall
line where they didn't have a prayer. Four
downs to make 3 yards and they tried the same
old stuff. Where were the passes to the ends
who showed whenever given the opportunity
that they could be counted on to deliver?
Where was any type of play that might be
counted on to cross Minnesota up?
They were utterly lacking as they have
been in every crucial tilt I can recall in the
nast few vears. Look over the record, we can
beat Iowa and the conference teams and poor
little schools like Wyoming and Montana State.
But what happens against anyone that is really
good like Minnesota, Pittsburg, and Northwest
ern? They play rings around us sometimes.
That's to be expected. But when we are as
strong as they potentially, and haven't any
thing to put that power to work with, we might
as well quit. We never win. We must lose
simetimes. But losing every time for the same
reasons gets old.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I shouldn't say
a word, especially right after we've been baten.
But the loss wasn't necessary, and it wasn't
necessary time after time before. It seems to
me that it's about time Nebraska develops
some surprise plays for a change, develops a lit
tle ingenuity in its field generalship, and then
perhaps such needless things as Saturday's de
feat will give place to an occasional win over a
first rate opponent. B. M.
Scalpers '
At Work.
Europeans, Inspecting for the first time
the activities of the inhabitants of this country,
voiced their disapproval for many of the pe
culiar antics of the Redskin. If an Indian
proved himself mightier in battle than his ene
my it was customary for the victor to chop a
lock of hair from the head of the fallen foe and
attach it to his belt in token of his poweress as
a warrior.
The modern "scalper" is not as brutal as
he perhaps would have been had he lived in
the days of John Smith and Pocohontas, but
his questionable practices, no doubt, are looked
upon with as much disfavor. The recreation
ticket, which he carries about with him, is not
as dangerous as a bowie knife, but it creates
almost as much discomfort.
It should not concern students particularly
if some alumnus with more money than sound
reasoning is willing to pay several times more
for a ticket than it is actually worth, except in
those cases in which the purchaser of the out
lawed ticket is permitted to sit in the student
section. Students are being severely criticized
for their lack of enthusiasm toward our foot
ball team by interested patrons outside the uni
versity. The student cheering section will al
ways lack enthusiasm so long as non-university
people are allowed to sit there. Many of those
persons who purchase tickets from "scalpers"
feel that because they paid ten dollars for their
ticket it entitles them to the privilege of dis
organizing as much of the student sections as
they can.
Every student of this institution should
feel that his athltic book is more than mere ad
mission to the contest. When he purchased the
ticket he automatically obligated himself to be
a part of the cheering section. If he auctions
off his ticket to the highest bidder he is not
keeping his bargain with the univerity offi
cials. As soon as students realize this, critics
can find some other source for a lack of enthu
siasm. 0- F
TO THE EDITOR:
Officers of Nebraska's three P. W.
A. financed hydro-electric projects voted
unanimously to create a Nebraska power
authority similar in scope and opera
tion to the Tennessee valley authority. The
distribution system which would result from
the linking together of the projects would pro
duce about 535 million kilowatt hours of elec
tricity annually and result in a program for
the conservation of rainfall and flood waters
that would probably stamp out crop failures
in the Platte river valley. It is something for
power projects to work together, but when
they do, things are done.
The League of Nations conies through
with some definite action. Italy is being
handicapped with a general arms embar
go, while all restrictions for a flow of arms
have been removed as the result of the League
naming Italy the aggressor. The embargo ap
plies not only to new sales but also to any con
tracts already entered. Such brilliant action
from the here-to-fore passive league comes as a
surprise to many, and the fact that it is up
held by all except Austria and Hungary makes
general European conditions brighter than
they have been since the break of the war.
America insures additional support with a gen
eral refusal to extend credit to Mussolini for
purchases of any American goods.
Ethiopian troops were reported to
have stormed Aduwa and massacred the
town's 2,500 Italian defenders. Italian
fliers bring the information that Ethiopian
froces were massing south of Makale and that
Ethiopia had captured Walwal and Wardair
on the southern front. Possibly Ethiopia does
not need any help, but these reports are un
confirmed. The Law
Election Again.
TO TILE EDITOR:
It was with surprise that I read the caustic
indictment in the Oct. 11 issue of the Daily Ne
braskan concerning the election of the fresh
man law class officers. It would seem that this
disgruntled freshman lawyer has violated one
of the cardinal, basic rules of practical law;
namely, "Have the facts of the case well in
hand before you attempt to prosecute."
The only fact that C. C. listed in his rather
garbled account which was true was the state
ment that an election had been called. The one
thing which he forgot to mention was that it
was not a P. A. D. who called the election but a
Phi Delta Phi who had his authority from
school rules. Thus, when C. C. states that
"they (P. A. D.) merely announced without
warning that it was customary to have a class
election, and proceeded without further hesita
tion to have one," he is either ignoiant of the
actual facts, or has deliberately discolored the
. . . A . . 1 1 S
entire proceeding m an etiort to mnugn an oia
and honored legal fraternity, which, in either
event, wns no justification for the attack.
C. C. has evidently forgotten, or has not
ns yet lenrned, that the word "reasonableness"
is the biggest word in a lawyer's vocabulary.
Over three and one-half weeks have elapsed
since classes were taken up, certainly time
enough to wnrrant a class election and, at the
same time, giving C. C. plenty of time to have
organized himself for a class office if he so de

He's just an salmated magazine

locks, a fetching smile, and 210
pounds of gridiron ability. The
kind of a lad that makes feminine
respiratory systems work over
time and rates a friendly grin
from every mascullM countenance
on the campus.
In Heldt, Scottsbluff, indeed,
has the makings of the "local
boy" tale. Most players are heav
ily laden with beef and jovial per

reeks with versatility. He is a
student council member, presides
over the Delta Tau Delta frater
nity, is vice president of Inter
fraternity council, is sergeant at
arms of the Innocents society, one
of the two members on the ath
letic board of control, besides be
ing, of course, one of the yeomen
tackles on Dana X's football clan.
Incidentally, it is said that his
brawny bulk fairly glides over the
ballroom floor.
It is no doubt superfluous to
repeat the campus myth about
Heldt's mentality. When queried
on the subject he twiddled a
cleated pedal extremity, turned a
crimson hue, and said, "Well, I
guess my average is about a nine

will pack up his brain and brawn
and trek off to Harvard where he
will learn the legal profession.
As far as the matrimonial sea
goes, Jim is still on the shores.
