Undisoove if.l until almost h week after
it happened was t ho fact that Nebraska s
awimmuic team had npp.-iroul ly smashed a
world's record in tlm l."0-urd medley relay
durinp; the tvoent Carl, ton in. ot. Swimminc
the distance m one minute. 2.3 seconds. Ne
braska's three aee splashers, l.ynde, Hagclm,
and Thornton, slaslied 2.7 seeonds ol'l! the
1.26 which stands on the record books as the
present record.
True, 1he medley relay is usually over a
distance of 300 yards but the speed unleashed
by the IlusUer natntors over the 150-yard
course speaks volumes. Not only that but
l.ynde and 11a eel in. swim nunc their special
ties, the free style and backstroke, respectively,
turned in time's which Coach .lack Minor says
should easily place in the national meet il'
last year's marks are any criterion,
l.ast year. Nebraska was represented
onlv by l.ynde ho competed alter driving
all the' way back to Boston. It was a lone,
hard trip which v as hardly conducive to his
best performance, alt ho the llusker cave a
crood account ot' himself. It was the first time
apparently, that a Nebraska swimmer com
peted in the national meet.
This year the national intercollegiate
swimming- championships will be held at
Yale university on March 27. At least a part
of the Nebraska swimming- team has earned
and deserves the right to" carry the Scarlet
and Cream into that competition. This year
we should be represented by not one man
but by at least three entries. On the basis
of the season's record, there is little doubt
but what Nebraska could score, perhaps win
some of the many events.
The problem of finaneinu n long Irek lo
the eastern coast, of course, bobs up iin h dif
ficulty that must be met. ll will lake a some
what considerable sum to send a team ami
coach that, far but the question suusrests it
self of whether the venture is probably not
more than worth the cost. The expense of
sendinn the medley relay team to the national
meet is inconsequential beside the amounts
spent on certain other sports and Nebraska's
chances are probably belter than they have
been on other occasions.
We hae n uood s imitiiny; team this
year with men on it who may be pood enonuh
lo enter Olympic competition. Such fortune
dues not come every year to any school. Swim
ming is a minor sport here, it is Irtie. but that
fact does not render any less impressive the
excellent performances and records of those
who are compctinir in it 1 h is year. Why not
make most of this importunity to place the
school on the n ap and at the same lime give
deserving lluskers the recognition and
chance they deserve?
Undoubtedly the idea of sending- the swimming-
team east will soon be presented to
the athletic board of control or the director
of athletics. When this is done, it seems that
the past record justifies but one answer--an
assent. When the national championships
open, Nebraska should, most certainly be
among the schools represented in the com
petition. Our presence there is demanded
not only by the splendid record of the team
itself, but in the good name of Nebraska
athletics and of a university whose fame
should each year be greater.
related laets. The most desirable classroom
experience is the result of sharing ideas found
true by experience. The result of this shuriiiR
may bo an entirely new point of view for both
the' student and the faculty member.
The ureal demand upon the time and
eneiyy of students and teachers in attending
meetings and participating, and Ihe general
chaotic situation produced by such a aystem
tend to delay progress toward the goals of
true education. Oregon Barometer.
CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
Liberty on
The Seales.
"The frontier of liberty is certainly re
treating." Norman Thomas told university
students. With the citation of numerous cases
to prove his point, ns "the tragedy of the
stark open I error behind the evictions of share
croppers in Arkansas," Mr. Thomas demanded,
"What do you mean, frontier of liberty!"
The threat of fascism has become a favorite
topic with our writers and public speakers.
Knonc.li examples of the denial of human
rights exist, in modern America, on which
to base such alarmist opinions. But is the fron
ter of liberty rcl rearing?
I'ntil lS(i." the feudal economic system of
the great south subsisted on slavery.
In 1SS7. Illinois hanged four men who
bad spoken at the Uaymarket Square riot,
because, when police had attacked the audi
ence, some one in the crowd had thrown a
bomb.
In President Cle eland smashed the
rullinaii strike with federal troops. Would
Ixooscxelt dare attempt such a thing?
The Sedilion Act of the World war caused
a complete denial of the "guarantees" of the
bill of rights, and in IHlil the nation saw per
haps its greatest peacetime campaign against
organized workers, with the "G-men" joining
in the fun.
Not so long ago the masked marvels ol
the K. K. K. paraded here in the sIitcIs -l
Lawrence, replete with all their ntiti-.lewisli-
Cat holie-Nogro-paei fist -labor tin dogma.
They were hardly dedicated to pnitecling
liberty.
Then there was the infamous Sacco en
zetti case, and not until IH2S did the eom
nuinist partv dare lo come into the open with
that name. Vet we listened to Doctor Strong
last night with safety. .
Was Mr. Thomas justified in saying. "1 he
amount of liberty in the United States is grow
ing decidedly less .'"
The Date
Bureau.
The mere mention of the name Date Hn
reau is greeted will) smiles laughs, slurring
remarks, and is the object of much poking and
raillery. But when one sets aside the humor
ous aspect, he can see thai there is really a
need for such an instiution on a campus har
boring over 4.000 men and women students.
The small minority of students in the organ
ized houses have their .social life laid out for
them. Open house, parties, and oldei friends
on the ea in pus soon make them feel acquaint
ed and welcome.
The majority of men and women students
on the campus conic lo the university as total
strangers. The only way they have of meeting
people of the opposile sex is in the class room,
and that is generally limited to the persons sit
ting nearby. What good is one's education if
he has no one with whom lo enjoy it? The stu
dent receives as much education from convicts
with people whom he becomes acquainted w ith
during his college years as he does from his
books! A date bureau, sponsored by the uni
versity and accepted by students as a matter
of course, would do much 1o widen student
acquaintances. Daily Kansan.
