It Echoes
In Our Ears.
Asinsrle dissenting roice has appeared on
the"horizon as plans for a university foun
dation signaling the dawn of a new era on
this campus are unfolded. Expressing dis
approval of the university's establishment ot
a foundation for the purpose of supplementing
our present building program on the grounds
that such gifts "may tend to limit the free
dom of the'university, that they may taint its
educational point of view" Edgar Howard,
Columbus editor, takes issue with this latest
move of the administration, lie says Let the
university be richly endowed but by the legis
lature and people, thru taxation."
"There seems little basis for Sir. How
ard's fears." As so aptly put by the World
Herald "no one is trying to buy the scholas
tic brains of the university faculty. The
proposed university foundation would be ad
ministered bv an alumni board of control
which could "be trusted to use the money,
if and when it is raised, to encourage re
search, to endow professorial chairs which
would inspire the students with a quest for
knowledge, to finance scholarships which
would open the opportunities of higher edu
cation to many worthy students."
Mr. Howard suffers from the belief that
such gifts might tend to limit the freedom
of the university. The gentleman does not
seem to realize that the specific purpose of
such an endowment would be to free this
institution from the shackles now so rigor
ously imposed upon it. That such gifts
might tend to limit the freedom of the uni
versity appears laughably ludicrous in light
of the fact that insufficient funds are bind
ing1 it so securely at present that there is not
enough cash in the coffers even to issue sub
sidized propaganda.
Equally amusing Is Mr. Howard's theory
"let the university be richly endowed but by
the legislature and people, thru taxation." The
amusement, however, rather assumes the role
of pathos. First pathos of a state already
crying because of tax burdens, and secondly
pathos of the university as it rpcounizes in a
wry sort of way, the grim humor of the sil na
tion. And that word "richly." Just to what
extent an increased appropriation would have
to go in order to comply with the limitations
of the term "richly." The Nebraskan dares
not hazard a guess, but suffice it to state that
we hardly believe it would be sufficient.
Perhaps the administration should ap
proach the people of the state with the sug
gestion that they pay more in the way of taxa
tion. Canvassing the entire state would not
be difficult for such a unified political party
as the administration, or would it? We think
that with its present duties such an expectan
cy would be an imposition.
No, it seems to the Nebraskan that the
only feasible and practical plan, as evi
denced by past experience in dealings with
tax appropriating bodies, would be to take
recourse to more pliable fields. Again there
is the added attraction of mitigating the sus
pense which afflicts the university with
every meeting of the legislature.
Quoting from the "World Herald.
"Nebraska University is lagging today,
and the reason is that the pinch of hard times
has forced university appropriations, for a pe
riod of years, down to a minimum of bare ne
cessities. Nor is there any early prospect that
this practice of rigid economy can be mater
ially changed."
While maintaining the belief that the
principal support of the university should fall
upon the people of the state, the Nebraskan
nevertheless claims supplements to these bare
essentials are necessary. Concuring with the
World Herald's expression the Nebraskan con
tends that "Mr. Howard proposes not to free
the university, but to keep it severely bound."
STUDENT PULSE
Brief, concise contributions pertinent to matters of
student life and the university are welcomed by this
department, under the usual restrictions of sound
newspaper practice, which excludee all libelous matter
and personal attacks. Letters must be algned, but
names will be withheld from publication If so desired.
What Have We
In the Bookstore?
TO THE EDITOR:
After two and a half years of intensive
ballyhoo, student publishing, and general un
rest we have at last been sanctioned a student
book store. Durinsr the brief. (?) period dur
ing which the machinery is being set up, we
are given a chance to sit back and consider
what we have done, consider it by ourselves,
free from editorial prejudices, petitions, etc.
As we take this notice, we begin to think that
we possibly were not as smart as we thought
we were. It seems that the store will not be
gin to function until next fall. Then they will
not have used books to sell because their late
start this semester has caused all books to be
already sold. Then it will be at least a year
before we may expect to receive any benefits,
if benefits there are.
But the most important point remains. In
looking over the plans of the officials we see
that they will buy no books from us except
those that will definitely be used the next se
mester. Considering this in the light that pro
fessors find it necessary to change text books
at least every two years, we can easily see that
we are bound to lose somewhere. This item
in itself will knock out any" money that we
may have hoped
And how about these huge savings? Let's
make a few comparisons. In the past, we
bought a book for three dollars and so.d it for
about 1.25 cash or ten percent more in trade.
We squawked because it does seem small, but
will the student book store be any better?
For the same book, we will now receive 1.50
if we are lucky enough to sell it at all.
Now we begin to be sure that we were not
as brilliant as we thought. Fast editors
of the Rae and other student leaders panned
the present set-up from all angles, but thej
did not consider the fact that Mr. Long has
been one of the best friends of the student
body. Besides supporting the advertising
columns of all student publications liberally,
he has provided for several student scholar
ships, to say nothing of various contributions
to other student organizations, only one of
which is the cup offered to be the best Fresh
man Debator. Will the student book store do
as much ? I think not.
And again, why stop with books? Stu
dents annually spend a million dollars in Lin
coln on such items as clothing, shoes, theaters,
food, etc. We may safely say that a store, op
erating under the university with no light,
heat, or rent to pay could give us our cloth
ing at a lower price. Will a student clothing
store lie next? It seems to be the next locical
81 ep in this modern trend. It is no more fool
ish than a student venture into the book busi
ness. It may be locking the barn door after the
cow was stolen, but nevertheless, let's give
these filings serious thought. B. W.

Lynn ' Leonard
Senator Borah Desire
to enter the Nebraska primary as a presiden
tial candidate, he informed progressive repub
licans in this state. "I hope to be able to make
the grade," the Idaho senator said in a letter
to a Nebraskan who had written him asking
him to enter the race. Barton Green, Lincoln,
chirman of the Lancaster county republican
central committee, said he would form a com
mittee of prominent republicans to get Borah's
name on the ballot.
Inter-American Conference
was proposed by President Roosevelt aiming
for permanent peace on the western continent.
Roosevelt sent personal letters to presidents of
twenty Central and South American republics
suggesting that a parley be held at Buenos
Aires, Argentina at an early date. "The cause
of peace in the new world," the president de
clared, "is a matter of vital concern."
Administration Farm Bill
passed the senate by a vote of 56 to ' 20 and
now goes to the house where adoption has
been assured. The measure provides relief
for the farmers through soil erosion as a means
of controlling production and making benefit
payments to farmers. Passage came after
twelve days of bitter debate during which re
publican senators and some democrats fought
the bill because they contended it was uncon
stitutional. Senator Norris, one of the leading
supporters of the bill, declared that after the
decision on the AAA it might be declared un
constitutional but it was the "only hope."
Keith Neville as
a possibility for support of the democratic
leaders of Nebraska if he should run for Sena
tor Norris' senate seat has been considered in
Washington. Neville, who was governor of
Nebraska during the war, has been a critic of
the new deal policies but is expected to sup
port Roosevelt in the coming election. He
was chairman of the NRA board in Nebraska.
Senator Burke and Arthur Mullen said after
a conference with President Roosevelt they
might be interested in protecting the party's
interests in the event Norris did not run, but
they refused to comment of the Neville re
ports. Return of Colonies
lost in the world war was demanded by Chan
cellor Hitler of Germany opening Germany's
annual automobile show in Berlin, he declared,
"We are too many people in a small expanse
of territory." That country, according to Hit
ler, is using artificial gasoline and synthetic
rubber which, in practical tests, have proved
from 10 to 30 percent more effective than the
natural products. Germany wants return of
African colonies now held by Britain, France
and Belgium.
Check on Spending
is the "desire of President Roosevelt. His as
sertion that he was moving to curtail govern
ment spending coincided with a disclosure that
federal fiscal experts were contemplating a
plan for a composite relief bill, which if sub
mitted as such, would seek to raise 900 million
dollars. The president has ordered Daniel Hill,
acting budget director, to make a broad sur
vey of all government departments to deter
mine what reductions can be made in approp
riations or authorizations that affect the pub
lic debt, what cuts can be made in appropria
tions affecting next year's budget and what
authorizations for government borrowing and
lending can be canceled.
Liniment Comes Into
Its Oicn When Coeds
Take Up Bonling Art
Aching arms, bottles of liniment,
and aching muscles in all conceiv
able places are giving mute evi
dence to the fact that the univer
sity girls have of late been en
gaged in the heretofore chiefly
masculine art of bowling. The at
tempts of the weaker sex to
manipulate the miniature steam
rollers masquerading as bowling
balls are extremely ludicrous and
even pathetic.
The technique of amateur bowl
ers is decidedly varied. Some
coeds throw the ball with such
force that the rafters shake in the
garage below; their colleagues dis
play such timidity that the ball
scarcely manages to get from their
hanr's to the side alleys.
Even bowling might have its
compensations but for the restric
tion demanded by heartless gym
teachers that no men are to be al
lowed in the gym building during
class periods at any time. One of
the gym teachers remarked sa
tirically the other day that the
classes were to be conducted for
the benefits of the girls wishing
to learn to bowl rather than for
those wishing to be observed.
Classes are held at Lincoln
Bowling Alleys, and girls receive
additional instruction from Mr.
Brown. The coeds may not become
champion bowlers but it is certain
that strong muscles will be of use
some day even if they do no more
than to help avoid the well known
household fag.

When mother was a girl and
went to college if she did go to
college she went in order to de
velop an outsize brain and become
a teacher. Nowadays the girl
who goes to college has at least
2-1 no ambition to become a
teacher and wants a well-developed,
healthy body quite as much as
she wants a well-developed brain.
The college facilitates indoor and
outdoor sport with suitable equip
ment and provides showers con
veniently near to lockers and
dressing rooms. Exercise loses
half its value if It is not followed
by a shower. Perhaps you think
this is quite enough to achieve the
Greek ideal of the perfectly bal
anced human being (mens sana in
corpore sano) ? Not at all.
The skin on your face is no less
tender than that on the rest of
your body, yet it is subjected to far
greater punishment in the way
of constant exposure and washing.
If not cared for, it will soon be
come dry and weatherbeaten.
After the heat of exercise has
opened your pores and the shower
has washed away not only per
spiration and impurities but also
the natural oils of the skin, never
fail to apply your pasteurized
cream. Pat it in all over your
face and neck as carefully as the
long distance swimmer smears
himself with oil before plunfung
into the icy water. You are about
to thrust your face into the equally
icy medium of the February air.
If you leave on a thin film of pas
teurized cream, you wil find it a
perfect base for make-up. No mat
ter how late you are for the lea
date, take the trouble to use your
cream and put on your make-up.
It will protect your skin against
change of temperature and your
time will be amply repaid in your
social and busines life.
You're going to be a teacher
after all? Well, looks count even
in the teaching world. An admit
tedly competent New York sub
stitute teacher has for many years
been refused a permanent appoint
ment by the board of examiners on
the ground that she is overweight!
PURDUE HONORS UNION S
FOURTEENTH ANNIVERSARY
By CAROL CLARK.
Dreams of Student Union building at Purdue university
which found realization were recalled recently when that in
stitution celebrated Ihe fourteenth anniversary of the lisird
earned approval of plans for its building. As is the present
rase here at Nebraska, consistent and persistent effort was
expended at ruraue in order too
obtain approval for the proposed
building.
Detailed and continuous work
over a period of several years in
cluded everything from careful
scrutiny of architectural plans to
statistics compiled concerning the
number of students who are regu
larly at restaurants, the number
who visited Purdue "coking"
places daily, and the number who
availed themselves of the recre
ational facilities of the university.
Finally an estimate was made of
what the present student desired
and needed, and a still more care
ful evaluation was made of what
the student of ten or twenty years
hence would need.
Funds Lacking.
Even in the comparatively pros
perous 20's. ardent student union
ists at Purdue found it difficult to
obtain the necessary funds to con
struct the union. Several times
work on the building was inter
rupted because of insufficient sup
ply of funds. Plans for the struc
ture were revised three times be
fore the university found ideas
which would "secure for the Pur
due of today and the Purdue of to
morrow the most desirable and
complete building of its kind in the
country."
As is hoped will be true at Ne
braska, every need of the Purdue
student body was taken into ac
count by making "a study and sur
vey" of the University community
so that the structure could be de
signed in such a way as to have
the appearance and general at
mosphere to typify the spirit of
the university." According to the
Purdue Exponent, the union has
Improved since it was completed.
Since almost all social and aca
demic events of that campus occur
la the union, interior improve
ments have supplemented the orig
inal attractiveness and utility of
the building.
So well utilized by Purdue stu
dents was the building that last
year a movement for an addition
was approved by 3,000 students
and the project, financed by WPA
funds is now under construction.
The addition will include more
space for student activity rooms,
recreational rooms, and other fa
cilities. Such a supplement will
balance the architectural design of
the structure, and make it even
more attractive.
The events occuring before the
completion of the student union at
Purdue are Indicative of what
eager students of Nebraska must
expect to face before their own
favorite pipe dream is set down
in marble and plaster.
