Since the discovery of nntviiWe types we have been t'itrhtiiiR for 'it. And until the press h,n been superseded as ;i menus for disseminat ing information, wo shall still be fighting for "We thought the cause won for freedom of the press two hundred years ago when Andrew Hamilton gained his momentous legal decision in favor of John Peter Zenger. It was won. But it had to be won again, on another battle front, thirty venrs later, when newspapers were taxed two shillings for every advertisement, they ran. without regard to size or cost of the advertising. it-fo! e l he pi'oba bly Freedom of the press may be destroyed by taxation as effectively as by government cen sorship. Httey Long put out a feeler m that direction a couple of years ago in Louisiana when he placed a tax on advertising-. (Note The Louisiana law has been de clared unconstitutional by unanimous decision of the United States supreme court. The court ruled that the law violated the constitutional guaranty of freedom of ihe press.) Only recently I noticed in the news dis patches 'that the supreme court of Wisconsin had upheld the constitutionality of an indus trial code for that stale, based on the late la mented NKA eode. A code regulating- indus try in Wisconsin may become t he forerunner of codes in other states, any one of which may involve control of the press once more. Representative Pierce of Oregon is spon soring a bill-in Congress to bar from the mails such straw balloting as is being eonducled by the Literary Digest. Freedom of the press can be affected in many other ways than by direct censorship. 1 recall these facts to your attention, be lieving that in case of emergency the. newspa pers may have need to gather their strength all of which will be necessary. All our slrenulh will be required for two primary reasons: The press in the country as a whole, as in this state, is not united, and it is not popular with the public. A huge proportion of tlio public would not be averse to seeing some soil of resrulation Tlni-.t nn thp American press. If the First amendment to the constitution were Dublic for consideration today, it would not pass in its present form. The prevailing unpopularity f the press with the masses is in part a result of lack of unity. That the press is unpopular in the sense of being disliked or distrusted is no doubt manifest to all of you. THE PRESS, OF COURSE, HAS RARE LY, IF EVER, ENJOYED PHENOMENAL POPULARITY. FROM THE DAYS OF THE FIRST CORANTOS TO THE PRESENT WE HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY HAR ASSED BY LACK OF PUELIC CONFI DENCE. We have deserved much of our unpopular ity, too. We deserve much of it today. 1 know of no commercial or manufacturing company which, when it does a little larger business than its competitor, rushes to the highways or the house tops, proclaiming to the world thai it has Bold more bricks or beds or blah than has its nearest competitor on Western avenue whose address is in the 800 block. I know of no pro fession except the press which, when one of its colleagues sins, stands in the market place and thanks God it is not as other men art. The visit of the Lindberghs to Europe is a ease in point. The colonel left America in a manner that would command the utmost pub licity; and the impression was conveyed in the initial news stories both that his stay was to be permanent and that the newspapers were largely responsible for his exile. We ourselves gave ourselves a mighty whack because of the colonel's self-imposed exile. I know, that reporters regarded Colonel Lindbergh as severely uncompromising in what he considers his right of privacy. But I am critical of an American press that made such needless and unfair case against itself a press that in such instances usually damns so sincerely and does nothing. We make ourselves our own worst enemies. The original story about Colonel Lind bergh's departure was not credible from the first. J could not find myself believing that over zealous news hawks and photographers were driving liim from this country on a freighter, Hecretly, at midnight, and on Christ mas I've. The whole yarn swelled of holier-than-thou newspaper practice, where one paper or one group gets and avails itself of an op portunity to throw stink bombs at a competi' tor usually to its own eventual discredit. .Meanwhile, however, the impression has been given the masses, not only 1 hut the presN is largely responsible for the exile of one of its heroes, but 1hat the press admits this re sponsibility. The other side has been largely played down. And any public thus informed can understand why the Lindberghs are seek ing n haven in Italy where liberty of the press does not exist. No wonder we find our public, critical. If the church proclaimed its weaknesses or the medical profession aired its differences public ly as we do, their influence would be lessened immeasurably. And we need feel no surprise that we lack popularity and public confidence, or that an autocratically minded leader now and then, recognizing our unpopularity, dares a sally at press control. SOME DAY SOMEBODY MAY BE SUCCESSFUL, DESPITE OUR FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION. REGIMENTATION IS IN THE AIR, COM ING TO US FROM THE PRESENTLY SUC CESSFUL, DICTATOR GOVERNED COUNTRIES OF EUROPE AND ASIA. AND WHEN AN EFFORT IS MADE HERE, WE NEWSPAPERMEN SHALL NOT BE PREPARED TO OFFER EFFEC TIVE RESISTANCE BECAUSE OF LACK OF UNITY WITHIN OUR OWN FRATER NITY. OUR GREAT NEED TODAY IS UNITY FIRST, AND THEN A CONCERTED DRIVE AT RE-EDUCATION OF THE PUB LIC TO AN UNDERSTANDING THAT FREEDOM OF THE PRESS IS NOT A FIGHT FOR THE PRESS, BUT FOR DEM OCRACY. LIBERTY OF THE PRESS IS NOT A PREREQUISITE OF THE PRESS, BUT A NECESSITY FOR THE PEOPLE. THEY MUST CONTINUE TO BE IN FORMED IF THEY ARE GOING TO RULE. By M. Lyle Spencer, Dean School Journalism, Syracuse University.

STUDENT PULSE Brief, concise contributions pertinent to matters of student life and the univeraitv are (welcomed bv this department, under the usual restrictions of sound newspaper practice, wnlch excludes all libeioua matter and personal attacks. Letters must be signed, but names will be withheld from publication If ao desired. TO THE EDITOR: Dr. Nebraskan has been taking a count of our pulses for some time. If you have been on some of the other campi such as. Illinois. Northwestern. Minne sota or Wisconsin and then compare them with our campus, ours looks exceedingly barren. This question of improving the looks of our campus so far as trees, flowers, shrubs and whatnots (benches to you ) are concerned is a puzzle, but t lie student body as a whole can solve it. Although our climate does not permit the most abundance of growth in this part of the country, our campus could be made much more romantic. We have sidewalks, but you and 1 are more interested in shortcuts. Do you real ize that when we shortcut to be on time for a class we probably miss a smile or a cheerful "Good morning?" In talking over the prob lem of beautifieation of our campus with Mr. Dunbar; read his reply in the following lines of type! "It should not he necessary for the fenc ings and rails on the grounds, paths are for cow pastures and unless I am mistaken this is not a cow pasture. Our workmen are on the grounds everyday picking up after careless students (forget-me-nots). If you walk along after these men you will find branches and dry grass in the middle of the cow paths, these are supposed to be discouraging signs for the won dering herds, but they do as much good as two needles in two haystacks. If the students will learn to walk on the walks we would take ihe rails down and replace them with flowers. "We also have the suggestion to sprinkle the quads or malls with trees." H. R.

Al most completely incapacitated as a result of severe brain injuries suffered in the Thanksgiving day game with the University of Ken tucky team, Merbie 'fade, star Uni versity of Tennessee center, is in the care of a tamous New York braiti specialist today, while stu dents and footoall fans of both states push s trive to establish a fund for his cr.re. One thousand dollars has al ready been raised to defray pres ent expense, and if in the Judg ment of the New York specialist Tade's case is hopeless, additional money will be sour lit with a view toward establishing; a permanent trust fund for the injured gridiron hero. Tade was hurt in the closing minutes of the Kentucky-Tennessee game last fall. Throughout the last half, with Tennessee far be hind, he hud been the main pillar of defense and one of the explana tions of his almost fatal injury is believed to lie In the fact he had so completely played himself out. He was carried from the field, and although his hurt was imme diately recognized as serious, it was ior a long time believed he would recover. He never regained complete possession of his fac ulties, however, and successive operations did not improve his con dition. Suffering from amnesia and lack of muscular and nervous co-ordination, he is today nearly helpless. FACULTY WOMEN'S CLUB ANNOUNCES THREE CASH GIFTS (Continued from Page 1. on the agricultural campus.

CLEANERS & DYERS 10 Cash & Carry Globe Laundry 1124 L B6755 Prof. Darlington Publishes Book on Office Management (Continued from Page I.) certain contacts with factors ex ternal to the b'isiness. Office, Nervous System. "The office then, comes Into play as the nervous system of our figure," says Professor Dar lington. "It receives messages, reports, and direction from the various units and transmits them to others. Its sensory endings come in contact with the world external to Its organism and transmit its findings to the prop er unit. And again the business office has another point in com mon with the human body. Thru the office files, books and rec ords it retains impressions of past experiences from which present or future action may be governed." The author also takes into ac count the environmental factors that detract or add to the efficien cy of office management. "A rectangular space is more easily utilized than an irregular one," he writes. "The more nearly square the room the shorter the path the work must travel. The amount of room needed will be from seventy to eighty square feet per employee and If executives are included, about J00 square feet should be allowed. From the stand point of noise, light, dust and ven tilation, upper floors are more de sirable with outer rooms better than those facing inner courts." To Rearrange Office. In case you decided to rearrange your office, let Professor Darling ton help with these suggestions: 1. Arrange for the work to travel In continuous forward lines. 2. Put departments which mutt meet the public where they are ac cessible. 3. Keep from public view de partments which might offend. 4. Assign the well lighted por tions to the units that need most light. 5. Segregate noisy departments. 6. Put departments which deal with each other near each other. 7. Locate executives near units with which they have most eon tact. For those who have ambition to become an office executive they should have sufficient humility to receive criticism gTacefully and be able to let Intelligence and not feelings govern their actions. Pro fessor Darlington devotes the fol lowing paragraph to outlining an office manager's essentials: Impartial Attitude. "An impartial attitude should enter into all his relations with fellow workers. He must criti cize where criticism is due, but without arousing antagonism. Likewise, he should praise when it is merited without resorting to flattery and he must be rea sonably charitable in judging workers without becoming an easy mark. While he should not be guided by his emotions the office manager should have suf ficient consideration for others to treat those working under him not as machines but as fel low human beings." The writer also points out that only the correct type of incentives should be used in getting workers to exert themselves. The negative group such as reprimands, fines, demotions and discharges are gen erally harmful and should be avoided. These all rest on fear and fear tends to reduce efficiency and destroy the co-operative spirit For petty infrlngment of rules, fines are judged better than re bukes, while demotions are rarely justified. Rewards are the best incentives for good work, most of fice managers agree. Under such a heading would come increasing wage scales, vacations, the prac tice of recognizing long service and promotions, which come next to wages in material importance to the employee. Tired Stenographers. To the tired stenographer who becomes a bundle of nerves during her shorthand translations, Profes sor Darlington's following asser tions will be a boon. He says: "Dictation directly to the sten ographer should be reduced to a re nimum as the manager must usually prepare to dictate several letters instead of dictating to a machine as soon as each letter is prepared. This tends to reduce the quality of the letters and keeps both girl and man busy at the same time." National recognition has already come to the university author as the result of his latest text. Writ ten from the viewpoint of one who has had actual experience in di recting an office and including the latest and most efficient methods of managing this division of American business. Professor Dar lington's contribution to the liter ary world incorporates new meth ods and principles which have a practical value to both the ex perienced as well as the beginner. At the end of each chapter are a list of questions and problems based upon sound business prin ciples described in the preceding paragraphs. Pre-Dental Course of Two Years Made Effective 1937 Members of the dental college faculty agreed at a recent meet ing to adopt as a requirement the present optional two year pre-dent course. According to Dean George Grubb, beginning September, 1937. students will be required to take two years of pie-dental work. One phase of Harvard's 300th anniversary celebration will be the payment of $300,000 to the Cam bridge city treasury, if the col lege honors a resolution passed by the city council. .-5 CAMPUS CAPS A fHOWNS There may be aometmng in tin little ditty about npiing, and a young man's fancy, and thoughts of love -but it luoks as though the Nebraska campus is a bit different thewe days, with nil the established twosomes breaking up in fine style, Liz Kelley of the Kappa house is back to Johnny Jenkins and Bill Marsh, leaving the old standby of the la.st few months, Mike Charter, standing.
