Foundation
For Our School.
MOBILIZATION of material for the adequate
presentation of a foundation program
which is to be promulgated at the time of com
mencement is still the task of university offi
cials. "Working diligently in order to gather
and assimilate the necessary information, these
persons are strivin? for the erection of a most
laudable achievement, that of carrying this in
stitution beyond the narrow confines of its now
almost penurious straits.
Universal is the recognition accorded the
belief bv Nebraska alumni that this institution
is failing in its highest ambition, that of becom
ing one of the more outstanding educational
enterprises in the nation, largely because of
lack of money. To the university in its entire
ty, to its friends and to its alumni the estab
lishment of such a university foundation sig
nals what all hope will be a new and prosper
ous era in the history of the school.
The drive must not die a natural death.
Vigorous and persevering must be those ad
ministrators in charge. If a single recidivist ic
step is taken at this crucial time, failure can be
the only result. Students should lend their
time and endeavor, though at the moment such
a step must necessarily take the role of inten
sified interest with constant inquiry into the
progress of the administration's plans.
It is only fair that the difficulties involved,
before the completion of the project can take
place, are placed before interested parties.
First, formal incorporation under state law
will have to comprise the initial step prior to
release of the program in June. This consti
tutes a major obstacle. If submission of plans
are not accepted they have to be revised and
altered until finally a suitable leeal one is
found that can successfully hurdle all barriers.
Long neglected in the matter of endow
ments, gifts and bequests the university may
then receive through the foundation considera
tions enough to carry on work in its many
fields where backing has heretofore been seri
ously lackine. That these improvements may
easily take the form of something other than
new buildings can hardly be denied. That new
structures are badiy needed can well be ac
cepted as a fact but other situations must bear
remedy.
Class organizations, to do something of
worth for a slight deviation from past perform
ences, might lend themselves to the more phil
anthropic purpose of raising funds for educa
tirnal facilities. While the erection of pillars,
fountains and sun dials is nice it hardly con
stitutes a worthwhile function.
Funds for carrying on research in the de
partments of history, social government, psy
chology, ehemistry. phyiK-s and innumerable
instances of the same sort can be obtained if
the foundation program is successful, ft is
these cau.se that ned espousal. It is th"e
functions that it is the duty of a university
to primarily serve.
Merely keeping its head above water with
out advancement i not a desirable university
activity. Or"at innovations and discoveries in
science and social education are made by th-se
researches and until a means of inculcating
tbern into this particular school is found, it
will continue its present policy of mediocrity.
An admirable program is being launched,
which if it does not succeed wi'j very probably
place the school in desperate circumstances.
Its success or failure may well be termed the
school's success or failure. Interest in the
foundation proposed must be kept alive.
indicate that Great Britain will back France
in demanding at least a "symbolic" withdraw
al of the German army from the Rhineland.
In order to obtain Mussolini's support against
Hitler, Britain and France may lift sanctions
against Italy.
It is believed that the French foreign min
ister, Flandin, has convinced English diplo
mat Eden, that Britain has been as much in
sulted as France when Hitler tore up the Lo
carno treaty.
Locarno discussions were suddenly trans
ferred to London from Paris and a meeting of
the league council was called for Saturday at
the British capital. Such action was inter
preted as meaning that French and English
diplomats were close to an agreement.
Strike Smashers.
Twenty-five thousand strikebreakers are
being imported from other cities to put a stop
to the New York building workers strike,
union heads claim. Workers in over 3,000
buildings, who have been called out on strike
are swiftly replaced by imported workers.
Substitute elevator operators run the lifts with
three or four associates standing guard.
Strikebreakers have refused municipal
authorities' arbitration plan and continue to
demand a closed shop, a $2 a week raise, and
promised resumption of the 48 hour week. Un
less they get that, they threaten to call out
more elevator operators, bell hops, telephone
girls, maids, janitors, and superintendents, in
cluding those in the Empire State building and
Radio City, which heretofore have been un
affected. Right.
"Turn the right cheek," is the advice giv
en by Dr. Ernest Sachs, noted brain surgeon,
for anyone about to dive through a windshield.
Any subsequent skull cracking would then be
on "the right side of the head and so not so dan
gerous, since it is the left side of the brain that
controls the speech nerves of most persons.
Bravery.
George Washington was a brae man.
Such a conclusion was reached by historians
many years ago but such a fact is further im
pressed upon the minds of visitors to the Na
tional museum this week where the first presi
dent's false teeth are on exhibition. (Inciden
tally, they are insured for $10,000.)
Two blocks of ivory, grooved to make
them look like teeth, were what Washington
used to chew his food. When he wasn't using
them he kept them in a glass of port wine to
improve the flavor.
Hell Week Vanishing Practice
In Most Colleges Says Survey
Despite Objections Many
Pledges Absorbing
Usual Dose.
MADISON, Wis. (ACP.l Hell
week is dying, but the traditional
fraternity initiation period still
has loyal supporters, according to
Associated Collegiate Press corre
spondents at middle western, Pa
cific and southern schools. Despite
the annual barrage of criticism,
plenty of pledges absorbed the pre
scribed doses of punishment and
indignity this year.
"And why not?" demanded the
anonymous and slightly ungram
matical forestry student who de
nounced Penn State Collegian edi
tors for the paper's anti-hell week
policy with: "The foresters are
more of a gentleman in their crud
est moments than you are. A self
especting fraternity wants men in
its membership, not 'sissies'."
Slightly at variance with this
view, was the stand taken by nine
Penn States fraternities. Alpha
Chi Rho. Delta Chi. Delta Tau Del
ta, Delta Upsilon. Lambda Chi Al
pha. Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Nu and
Triangle, after listening to a plea
by Wilbur M. Walden, national
secretary of Alpha Chi Rho, de
clared a permanent ban on hell
week.
Similar action was taken by the
university disciplinary committee
at DePauw, with social probation
the penalty for fraternities declin- j
ing to abolish outlawed initiation
practices. "The fraternity world
is changing," said The DePauw,
student paper, in commenting on
the decision. "If we contemplate
for long the fraternity of 10 years
ago we shall find ourselves hold
ing a mess of pottage."
The University of Tennessee's
Orange and White asked the In
teifraternity Council to order dis
continuance of hell week. "Many
of our fraternities have gone be
yond the limits of reason, and even
respectability in their application
of this pre-initlation custom," says
The Orange and White. Consid
ering the violence to which some
of our fraternities have resorted,
Tennessee is lucky that more 'ac
cidents' have not occurred."
Meanwhile, the National Fra
ternity Council planned a national
campaign. The council has re
peatedly gone on record as oppos
ing every hell week piactice.
Unmoved by all this, however,
are the editors of The Golden Ga
ter, San Francisco State College
publication. Remarking the trans
fer of freshman "discipline" from
an association of men students to
the sophomore class in an editor
ial headed "Must Staters Always
Mind Their Manners?" they say,
"It's time for us to forget our
'high-falutin' philosophy and get
some collegiate color in our veins.
Let the bulbous-browed individ
uals pursue their one-track aca
demic ways. We ll take a little
fun and spirit with our medicine."

Orders to ecw firing aie sent to Italian
soldiers on the northern war front in Ethiopia
and for the first time in five months no bomb
ing planes leave the ground. Troops continue
to sail from Italy, however, and with both
countries having different ideas as to peace
terms, it would seem that final peace is still
several months off.

liii's acceptance with a grain of salt. Al

complete the war before the rainy season sets

UNION'S FUTURE RESTS :
RADICAL STUDENTS
SCARCE SAYS DEAN
Head of Midland Claims
Interest Lacking.
(By Associated Collegiate Press.)
CHICAGO. (ACP). Frequent
charges of campus radicalism
made thruout the country are
strikingly belied by the average
college student's utter unconcern
about social and economic matters,
according to Dean William F. Zim
merman of Midland College, Fre
mont, Nebraska.
"The students of today are in
capable of entertaining radical
ideas because of their utter dis
interest in the problems which
Communists and Socialists do all
tthe shouting about," Dean Zim
merman told a group of educators
here recently, adding that it was
his opinion college students can
not even understand these prob
lems. Dean Zimmerman gathered data
on "spontaneous student conver
sations from many campuses, de
rived not by questionnaire, but by
listening in when young persons
were unaware of being studied."
The college girl's first interest,
as Inferred from the frequency
with which she chats about it,
Is in the doings of her college
friends, while the male student
gives first place to his studies.
Public affairs attracted only
seven-tenths of one per cent of
the concern of men and two
tenths of one per cent of the girls'
remarks, according to conclusions
drawn by Dean Zimmerman's sur
vey, FELL MAN

CONNING THE
CAMPI
By Arlen Crenshaw
The University of Texas thru its
Bureau of Research in the social
sciences will begin early in March
a salvaging expedition. The waste
in this case is men. Men in stripes.
Convicts.
Under the direction of Dr. W. E.
Gettvs, the bureau, with the co-operation
of the state priscon board,
has set up as one of its projects
a division of classification to oper
ate at the central prison in Hunts
ville for at least one year. Com
petent men have been chosen to
head this unit. They are scientists
well tried in the study of social
case problems which this pioneer
attempt at penal classification in
Texas will demand.
The hope of the new division is
to reclaim, rehabilitate, some of
the individuals who have been
branded as criminals. placed
among "the lost." Classification
does this to a great degree by en
abling prison officials to take not
neecssarily a sympathetic but an
understanding attitude toward the
inmates. Understanding their
charges, the officials are able to
deal with each individual accord
ing to his needs. Thinking of the
convict in terms of a human be
ing who may be reshaped to find
a usefut place in society, will be
heresy to many, but these few a '.
not to be considered. This is 1933.
When that fact has been accom
plished, Texas will have squareiy
