existence becomes such an accepted situa
tion on a university campus that a president
vt a roi.iineiit American educational institu
tion devotes practically an entire Charter
Day address to this woeful state of affairs,
then it is time for those in the afflicted cow
munitv to sit up and take notice. That the
facilities for providing "a community of
scholars" ar- sadly insufficient at this uni
versity was a thought given consideiahle at
tention hy the reknowned educator. Dr. Ed
ward C. Elliott of Purdue University. The
veiv fact that it was recognized hy a person
outside our own state should cause enough
embarrassment at home to bring forcefully
our minds that something in the way oi
in-! ion should he done.
Scantily existing thru the means of in
sufficient appropriations this institution has
constantly had difficulty in holding under
paid faculty members, in housing the expan
sion of departments and in carrying on in
vestigations, student and research in desirable
fields. Why an area the size of Nebraska
with a population of over a million people
submits to the continuation of such indigni
ties is a moot question. The answer can only
be foi.fid. in the opinion of the Nebraskan,
eilher in the fact that the people over the
state are not acquainted with its true condi
tion or that those able to further its cause
run find no avenue of approach direct enough
to offer material aid.
The student body may aid the university
in both these instances. Contact back home
and support of the institution, placing it in
n favorable light, will aid tninei'doiisly. But
doing this is not enough. Cold as may sound
the proposition, money must be procured in
home manner before even those possessed of
t lie wildest hopes can think of obtaining a
school comparable with those having more
facilities at their disposal. No amount of
jilanning can build a concrete structure.
The gravity of our present stains has fin
ally been recognized. A step in the way of
progress has been made. Just how far this
fctride will take us depends entirely upon the
vigor, force and action taken by those best in
si position fo propel the institution onward.
This job falls primarily upon the administra
tion. It is thej who coithliliile a permanent
governing body and it is they who must lead
the way.
Establishment of a foundation as on
"agency for the handling of funds, gathered
from alumni (and others) thru the initiative
of alumui associations" is the first step. This,
however, merely provides the machinery for
carrying out the foundation's purposes. Its
success or failure depends upon work, and
work alone.
Tappings must be made of those persons
best able to be tapped, those persons who
would gladly give could they but be con
vinced as to the logic and soundness of the
program. Jlere is the job of the contact
men. Here is the function of those desirous
of carrying the campaign to a successful con
clusion, it will require cotinuous effort on
the administration's part. Their start is to
be commended.
"They have crossed the bay, the ocean
lies beyond."
When, 0 Lord!
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
This is Ted Boozing of the American Broad
casting Corporation bringing you a report of
the lecture by Professor Eru Dight of the
University of Nebraska. Because of the in
terest manifested all over the country in this
spectacular, dramatic and timely event, the
play by play report of the Army-Notre Dame
game which had been scheduled for this hour
is postponed indefinitely.
Les Bailey, my statistical and ac.demic
assistant, and I are sitting here in on of the
beautiful classrooms at the University of Ne
braska. The autumn sun is streaming in
through the dusty windows. The weather is
perfect, ladies and gentlemen. Students have
been flocking into the room for the last half
hour gaily dressed .and chattering expectantly
of the treat in store for them. This lecture
by Dr. Dight is certain to be an epoch maker.
It reminds me of the one given by Professor
Jackson in J 924 at old Eureka College, where
1 spent nine of the happiest years of my life
as an undergraduate.
The build up for this afternoon has been
colossal. Dr. Dight has for two years been
delving into manuscripts dealing with ancient
history. Interest in classical ant ipathy par
don me, ladies and gentlemen, Les Bailey
says it is antiquity, and he knows has been
at a height since one of Professor Dight 's stu
dents startled the academic world with the
discovery that Plato's Republic is a forgery,
or if not a forgery, a mighty, mighty clever
original. Believe 3011 me, I would not have
missed this sight for anything. It is a natural.
Your children and mine will be talking about
it long after we arc gone.
The crucial hour has almost. arrived,
ladies and gentlemen. The officials have just
come on the platform. Eddie Burnett of Ne
braska and Bobbie Ilutchins of Chicago.
They have arranged the tables and chairs
and Ilutchins grand old Bobbie Ilutchins,
how well I remember his smashing defeat of
Puddinhcad Walgreen last summer! is pour
ing water into a pitcher on Ihe table.
A hush has come over the crowd. There
is a tenseness in the atmosphere that is ac
tually electrical. Suddenly everybody is on
his feet as one man. Hear that cheering!
It is deafening, roar after roar. Professor
Eru Dight has conn: through a door far on the
other side of the lecture hall, lit left his of
fice at the right of the room and a he walks
across the stage these wild young enthusiasts,
everything else forgotten for the moment--fraternities,
sororities, military balls, football
are making vocal their unparalleled joy.
What a spectacle, what a spectacle' I'll take
you down on the floor and let voij hear if.
take it away, Ai. S. M. C.

The first question was provoked
by the visit of the eminent educa
tor, Dr. E. C. Elliott, president of
Purdue university. At Purdue, a
highly successful system of convo
cations, supported by student ac
tivity tickets, brings prominent
authorities to lecture and conduct
open forums on problems of mar
ital relationships. The questions
presented to members of the Ne
braska student and faculty bodies
is:
Would you favor the inaugura
tion of a series of marital lecture
.......tinn. nosr tn all Students.
conducted by competent psycholo
gists ana pnysicianst
ANSWERS.
DR. DYSINGER: "It would de
pend entirely on how it was con
ducted. If it was properly con
ducted, by. competent, lecturers,
yes. Otherwise no."
CYNTHIA PEDLEY: "I think
that it would be wonderful." ....
BOB SHELLENBERG: "Yes, if
they had the right kind of psychol-cpi3ts."
CONNIE bishop: "xes, i
think it would be a bij? help."
ELIZABETH SHEARER: "I see
absolutely no point in it whatso
ever. I wouldn't attend any of the
lectures."
JOHN PARKER: "I think it
would be alright if any new ideas
would be brought out. The trouble
with most of those lectures is that
they are of the same type."
DR. HAROLD STOKE: "There
is dynamite in that question, I
think that I had better not an
swer." RALPH ELDRIDGE: ."Abso
lutely, I should say so, indeed I
would favor the idea."
PROF. WERKMEISTEH: "I
think that it would depend entire
ly on the competeiitency of the
persons asked to give the lec
tures." LIBBY GLOVER: "I doubt that
it would be a good idea, 1 wouldn't
go to any lectures. 1 think that
when you were married that you
would not be guided by any
theories. I don't think that mar
riape can be theorized."
JIMMY HELDT: "Yes 1 would
favor it."
PAUL AMEN: "I think there
would only be interest if there
were Home form of direct student
control. In that cas I think it
would be a favorable thinj?."
FAITH ARNOLD: "I wouldn't
want to be quoted."

OPERATION OF NEW
E
Japanese Christian Leader.
Addresses Young Peopls ,
On Cooperative Ideas. I
Despite thet weather and the
condition of the roads, more than
250 young peop from all over
the slate gathered in Lincoln to
hea Toyohiko Kagawa, well
known Japanese Christian leader,
discuss the cooperative movement
as related to the Christian life.
Outlining his "Kingdom of God
on Earth," as he calls hi3 plan
for a cooperative society, Kagawa
presented his ideas on coopera
tives Friday afternoon at the St.
Paul's church and Saturday after
noon at the Plymouth Congrega
tional. He gave the history of the
cooperative movement and de
scribed the way it had been, in
Sweden, and could be in other
countries, employed on a large
scale.
Nations Need Cooperatives.
"Neither the cooperative move
ment, nor I," he said, "is against
private ownership, but rather
against the exploitation of the in
dividual. We must socialize the
problem and we can't do it with
out Christ.
In charting his system, Kagawa
explained that every country must
have its cooperatives in order th'-.t
the system may be really efficient.
Cooperation, he believes, is the
way mankind can exemplify
Christ in the world today.
Tn his soeech at the St. Paul's
church on "World Peace" Friday
night Kagawa stated that there
is no reason for a war between
Japan and the United States, and
explained that a large percentage
of the people in Japan are desir
ous of neace. His talk Saturday
morning on "Personal Religious
Experience" was directed at tne
young people, to be carried back
to their work in the colleges of
the state.
The young people's conference
included an Fstes Banquet Friday
nii'ht at which time a skit de
picting life at Kstes was put on
by members of the Fates Coop
erative. After the banquet the
croup pent the evening in folk
dancing and games.
The conference will close with
a xhnit devotional service at 9
o'clock Sunday morning. The
service is in observance of the
World Student Christian Federa
tion Day of Prayer. Devot'onalB
will be led by Bculah Meyer.
