Conviction
In Our Forums.
VESTERDAY'S Daily Nebraskan editurml
1 column carried an epitaph to the departed
spirit of the student forum on subsidization.
Today we have the obituary, with a plea tor
proper resurrection. , ,
The foundling "subsidization" fared
rather rough v from the outset. Like a torgot
ten son it was buffed from one doorstep to
another in the hopes that some Good Samari
tan would come to the rescue and consent to
present an unbiased, unqualified affirmative
approach to the problem of a university going
out and buying men to maintain its athletic
stfl,iids.rdSe
Particularly at this university, where
sports idealism exists at its best, and rightly
so, was the difficulty of finding someone to
present a sincere affirmative case encountered.
One sports editor after another rejected it.
Manv offered to negate, but only one or two
to affirm. And thev would not speak with con
viction, but offered merely to present theories
behind subsidization. Lack of fertile soil for
development constituted the biggest, difficulty
to the student, council committee sponsoring
the proposed forum.
At last was found a speaker to argue for
subsidization, but, by necessity, the student
council accepted his services. Unfortunately,
he was prevented by unforeseen circum
stances from attending today's scheduled
convocation.
But even his presence would not have
insured conviction the real spirit behind
any forum discussion. It is for this lack of
conviction and spirit that the Daily Nebras
kan published an epitaph.
The forums previously carried on under
the auspices of the committee have been well
argued, interesting, intelligent discussions
with arguments galore on either side and no
lack of devotees to participate. The Daily Ne
braskan commends the work of the committee,
realizing that it has filled a definite campus
need, and endorses whole-heartedly its tactics,
with the fervent wish that they be continued
adequately in the future.
Obviously, a forum in which one of the
main speakers believes only partly in his theor
ies, willing1 to concede the victory to his op
ponent even before debate has begun, is not in
keeping with the argumentative forums car
ried on by the student council committee in
the past. The Daily Nebraskan does not want
a discussion of subsidization, one of the really
burning intercollegiate issues of the day, to de
solve into a nimby-pamby, brotherly love af
fair. The subject is too vitally important, with
its growth in the southwest and east and con
sequent impression to the rosters of midwestern
high school gridiron stars, to dismiss with a
half-hearted presentation. It has a direct ef
fect on present intercollegiate scholastic poli
cies, and may have a greater effect in the fu
ture. Tlie student fouiieil committee had under
ronsidcrat ion one man. one of the very few
in this section of the country, who would np
pciir here mid without riialil'icnt ions shout to
the world his belief in the righteousness of
paying athletes to attend universities. This
man, Dr. Forrest Allen, coach of Kansas uni
versity's basket hall tennis, was rejected be
cause the Student fouucil lacked the funds to
sponsor his coming here.
Undoubtedly, Doctor Allen could have
drawn a larger group of students to hear his
arcuments lhan anyone in the immediate
vicinity. Tie has a reputation perhaps unmateh
able in hi field of sports. He is forceful and
sincere in his convictions. lie is a drawing
card who would lead an animated discussion
on the subject.
Since the committee will hold this forum
on subsidization some time in the future, the
Daily Nebraskan suggests that it do the mat
ter right and bring in the only logical choice
Doctor Allen. Matters of finance can be dis
posed of just as other forums are paid for.
The watchword of the student council com
mittee should be "Get someone who can han
dle the subject." Lincoln and vicinity men
passed the buck too frequently to be consid
ered further as forum speakers. Some element
needed.
The Daily Nebraskan contends that a poov
forum with insincere speakers at its head is
worse than no forum at all and leads that
action be taken to make this forum live up to
the high standards set in the past.
CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
Council Starts a Cleanup
Campaign Against Honoraries.
At the outset of the Student Council in
vestigation of Carnegie honorary societies we
were decidedly skeptical. Too many times
these investigations merely serve to cover up
existing evils and quiet elements demanding
reforms in the status quo. But when the coun
cil decided that "any honorary society which
fails to place a copy of its constitution on the
council records will be declared non-existent,"
we confess the aspect of the situation was
changed.
Student council has taken the bull by
the horns, it has given its investigating com
mittee enough power to insure results and if
these results are not forthcoming the embar
rassment of the governing body will be de
cidedly pronounced. This attempt to purify a
group of rotton honorary societies is one of
the outstanding things which this year's coun
cil has undertaken. It is also the most perplex
ing. Too many of the activities groups have de
generated into playgrounds for fraternity poli
tics. A policy of "You vote for my man, I'll
vote for yours" has filled the honorary rolls
with political do-nothings and parasites.
These persons who have never done any
thing in extra-curricular activities will have
to walk the plank first. We can't expect
doublecrossing, greedy, petty politicians to put
thru reforms which will affect their own
pocketbooks. All of the changing will have to
be done by council.
Council will have to supervise the selec
tion of next, year's honorary men. The present
group of political parasites can't be trusted
to make fair, unprejudiced selections. Perhaps
a system basing membership on points won in
outside activities will be used. Perhaps even
more desirable methods will be found.
The investigating committee has poked
its nose into a decidedly unsavory situation
and if it doesnt clean up the cause, the smell
will hang around the Student Council office
fof years to come. Carnegie Tartan.
Awaiting
Approval.
Lacking only the approval of the Uni
versity board of trustees, a new system of
providing the long felt need of pensions to
faculty members who have devoted years of
service to Indiana university has been con
sidered and endorsed by members of the in
structional staff.
Tndiana university is one of a very few
high ranking institutions which do not have
a retirement compensation system. It is one of
only three schools in the Big Ten which make
no retirement provision for their faculty mem
bers. Such a situation can not continue longer
here without doing a grave injustice to a con
siderable number of the teaching staff.
Fifty-nine members of the university
faculty are over 60 years of age. Of these 33
are eligible for Carnegie pensions; 26 are not.
What should become of these 26 if they
should suddenly become disabled? Under the
present condition, the university has made no
provision for their support when they become
unable to teach.
The retirement compensation was drawn
up by a special committee of the faculty mem
bers only after careful consideration of a study
made by the Carnegie Foundation for the ad
vancement of teaching which includes reports
on 170 college and university retirement
plans. The proposed system is similar to those
which have been tried and executed success
fully in these institutions.
Should the board of trustees see its way
clear to institute the retirement plan, it will
have met a critical need for compensation to
those faculty members who have devoted a
life-time of service and devotion to Indiana
university. It is only fair that these men and
women who have given so many years of
service to the university should be provided
for in their retirement. Indiana, Daily Stu

hero.
Donald Boehm, as the handsome
Orlando, furthers hla recent Kos
met Klub fame aa he very com
mendably portrays the role of the
ardent young lover, whose quest
for the hand of Rosalind finally
realizes success.
And as Miss Bannister and Mr.
Boehm were marking up one of
the best performances of the dra
matic season, some six comedians,
some of which are known to Tem
ple patrons and others who were
making their first appearance, en
acted some of the bett comedy
that the University of Nebraska
campus can ever hope to witness.
Delford Brummer, famous for til
work In the "Pe trif ied Forest" and
other recent productions, made
good his rating- as the University's
star domedian as he protrays the
role of Touchstone in as fitting a
manner as the best professional
performers could have produced.
Assisting Brummer in the humor
ous side of the play were Dorothy
Taylor, Max Gould, Kenneth Myer,
Wjlliam Miller, and Ernest Cle
ment. Every member of the group
truly "cut loose" and gave the ap
preciative audience some of the
best bits of humor they have seen
for years.
Others among the cant who de
serve comment for their continual
work thruout the performance are
Allan Gatewood, Herman Haupt
man, and Julia Viele.
The same play will be given
Thursday evening and will be fol
lowed by the Merchant of Venice,
Macbeth, and the Merchant of
Venice again the following evenings.

Around Washington
By ARNOLD SERWER

WARHWOTON. D. C. DesDlte
(drone- sentiment on the Dart of
students at George Washington
university and American univer
sity here for participation in the
nationwide stuaeni smite ior
tipnrn held on Arjril 22. the au
thorities at both institutions put
the lid on the idea.
At both Institutions the taboo
on the peace strike followed re
pressive measures previously
taken against the campus lib
erals. At American university
Chancellor Grey had at an earli
er date issued an edict prohib
iting sale of The Student Ad
vocate, publication of The Stu
dent Union, peace promoting
journal to students while on the
cimpus. At about the same
time, the university's official
student publication came out
against the formation of a cam
pus peace group, in an editorial
whost gist was that there was
no need for a peace group at
American university because the
student body was 100 percent
for peace anyway.
C.oamn Washington university's
President Marvin concurrently or
dered abolition of the student Left
Party paper. This publication, put
out by the liberals and radicals in
the university (wno in me last in
nartv romnm election did no cam
paigning and yet rolled up a larg
er vote than the Kignt party, al
though trailing the Center party)
warn rtlannine: an editorial fight in
favor of participation in the peace
strike.
Student ninka at American Uni-
veritv him that behind Chancel
lor Grey's stand against the strike
and the formation or a peace
erouD (thev are sure that the
campus paper's editorial against
the peace group was run at hla
order) is his fear that such activi
ties will affect future endowments
to the school from wealthy pa
trons.
Probably as good a reason as
any more immediate one for
these measures of censorship is
the long time one, the fact that
excessive conservatism on the
campuses of Washington has al
ways been chronic. There is
something about being in the
shadow of the Capitol, within
reach of broadsides from super
patriots like Rep. Blanton and
Rep. Jenckes, that keeps local
deans and prexles In a state of
constant agitation for fear that
liberal student opinion will make
itself heard above a whisper,
in mump i-i schools of journal
ism and rniimea in sociolorv and
political science the relation be
tween editorial opinion and public
opinion is frequently discussed. The
two are one ana me same ining, u
ffnrallv helirved Editorial
opinion makes public opinion, and
in turn editorial opinion reflects
public opinion, according to most
classroom discussions.
'
Therefore it was interesting to
find, during the convention of
the nation's leading editors re
cently held here, at least two
thirds of them opposed to the
New Deal and Franklin Roose
velt, when the New Deal and
Franklin Roosevelt still com
mand the support of better than
half the population. It is some
thing to think about. Apparently
the editorial writers lambasting
administration policies aren't
finding the support they expect
ed among their readers. One rea
son is that in too many cases the
reader can plainly see behind the
editorial writer's synthetic
spleen the self interest of the
publisher at work. A great many
opinions that editorialists keep
saying are prevalent about the
New Deal are only prevalent
among the publishers. Even the
reporting staffs of those papers,
if asked to poll on the question,
would cast more votes for Roose
velt than against him.
In some quarters attacks against
him are beginning to help him with
the average voter. After awhile
some of the papers leading the at
tack may discover they are over
playing their hand . , ,

Chief devices are a series of elec
