AYERY Issue Keprints Dr. Holmes' Funeral Oration for Late Chancellor. Honoring the late Samuel Avery, chancellor of the univer sity from 1909 to 1927, the Febru ary issue of the Nebraska Alum nus contains remarks made at Dr. Avery's funeral by Dr. John An drew Holmes, who was called from Evanston, 111., where he is a min ister, to speak at the funeral. Dr. Holmes, who gave the uni versity's baccalaureate address last spring, held pastorates in Lin coln churches from 1917 to 1926. He tells in his remarks of his con nections with the former chancel lor, of his life, his experiences and his services to Nebraska. Materialistic Praise. In his extensive and heartfelt praise of Dr. Avery, the author finds it necessary to revert to typ ical twentieth century material ism: "To the body of Samuel Avery we must bid farewell for ever. No longer can it serve his purpose. Six years ago he wrote, 'I am like an old car. When one trouble is corrected, another 03 velops, and so it goes to the end, though there may still be a good many miles of travel in store for it.' Those miles of travel are now done, and Samuel Avery has a new car. As the first stage his spirit developed a vehicle to meet its earthly uses, so now in the fullness of its life his spirit will fashion an adequate chariot to meet its celestial needs. But in whatever vehicle, Samuel Avery will ride on . . ." Herbert Bates, at one time in structor in English at the univer sity, is author of the Charter Day poem for the university's 1894 celebration. The poem is reprinted in the Alumnus and is followed by Chancellor E. A. Burnett's article on "Charter Day 1936." The chan cellor tells of student growth and growth in the . physical plant of the university. "Today we may step into a great museum where we may read the history of life within the state running back into the dim vistas of the past, record ing the animal life of prehistoric times," he writes in describing only one of the forms which, uni-. versity expansion has taken. Article on Elliott. Edward C. Elliott, '95, president of Purdue university, and honored speaker at the Charter day exer cises on Friday, Feb. 74, is made subject of an article, "Leader in Education," written by T. R. John ston, director of the Purdue News Bureau. "Reminiscences" by H. W. C. '80, believed to be Howard Walter Caldwell who was in 1906 profes sor of American history and poli tics at Nebraska, appear in the magazine ,as well as an article, "The Band Grows Up," describing the growth of Director W. T. Quick's musical organization. Edna D. Bulloc, '89, is author of "Four Decades," which tells of the life of Miss Nellie J. Compton, who retired from active to emeri tus status as assistant librarian of You Can Depend. esAaWs) on the Man Who Advert: the university on Jan. 31. Dr. E. H. Barbour, who joined the Nebraska faculty in 1891 as professor of geology and zoology, and who is now professor of paleontology, and director of the museum which he has build up, writes for the issue, "They Were Gay '90's." Miss Holland Writes. In another reminiscent article, Dorothy Brown Holland, '25, writes "About Ten Years Ago," telling of life on the campus a decade ago. She tells of the old iron railing around U hall, which, incldentaly, is pictured on the cover of the February issue, in an etching by Dwight Kirsch. "Men and the Game" is the sub ject of a review by Dr. R. G. Clapp, of the physicial education depart ment, which recalls the hardships of the earlier days in Nebraska athletics. Virginia Selleck, this year's hon orary colonel and managing editor of the Daily Nebraskan for two semesters, gives a cross-section of a busy coed's life in an article "Today is Ours." Included in the issue also is "Campus Month," edited by Lynn Leonard, and "Alumni Para graphs," edited by Virginia Barn ard and Lynn Leonard. American College Students Fear Invalidating Rights. WASHINGTON, D. C. (ACP). The power of the United States supreme court to invalidate legis lation has reached socially damag ing proportions, in the opinion of American college students, and should be curbed without delay. Revision of the constitution so as to check the power of the high court is favored by a majority of students, according to an Associ ated Collegiate Press survey just completed. Remedies ranging from increas ing the number of supreme court justices by naming liberal ap pointees known to have kept pace with the times to giving congress the power to reinstate legislation thrown out by the court are sug gested by college leaders. Strongly urging revision, the Ohio State Lantern commends a state law-maker: "Usually conservative, 'safe and sane,' Senator Vic Donahe'y an nounced in Washington that he favors a revision of the constitu- Gasolene 11 Motor Oil A 10c to 30c Gal.

You get better merchandise at a fairer price than he could ever hope to sell it if lie did not have the larger volume of husiness that comes from legitimate advertising and goods that bear out the promise of the printed word. tlon because he believes it has not kept pace with the times. A re vision is necessary, he pointed out, 'to provide additional guarantees of health, safety and security for the people.' Significant Statement. "We believe that is a significant statement and prcbably holds sig nificant results. It is Indeed heart ening to note that Senator Dona hey, who is usually classed in the conservative bloc in congress, has finally recognized need for change. His statement indicates quite clearly a trend away from the traditionally-held belief that the constitution is a sacred document, one which must not be changed lest we gain the wrath of the gods. "There is even a new and more liberal attitude growing among the general public toward constitu tional change. This is as it should be. The ironical fact is that for too long most of us have clung to the time-worn theory that to change the constitution is plain heresy. "It is just as ridiculous for us to believe that we could write a constitution in 1936 to govern the political, social and economic at titudes of Americans in 2083 as is to believe that a group of individ uals could be expected to draft a document in 1789 to fit the needs of Americans in 1936. Yet a cry for constitutional change has al ways been met with charges of 'communism' and 'un-American-ism.' So we see an attempt to abol ish child labor by constitutional change failing not because Amer icans feel child labor should be al lowed to remain in our economic system, but principally because it suggests constitutional change." Meanwhile, Duquesne Univer sity students, in response to a questionnaire, voted 56 percent in favor of curbing the power of the supreme court. It is increasingly evident, said the Duquesne Duke In commenting euitorially on this vote, that the interest of college students is steadily swinging from the frivolous to matters of nation al concern.

Yet this very duty is not granted to the court by the constitution. I is a precedent, and 'unwritten law, began by one man and continued with the help of luck and circumstances until it has acquired an axiomatic pres tige. "We have the logically strange picture of an austere, impartial court, examining laws in the light of an abstract justice, which does not authorize such examination. The obvious question is: where does the power lie? In the consti tution, as the court proclaims; or in the persons of the court who define the constitution in prac tice ? . . . .
