Rallv When
Rallies Are Due.
In the Wo of .Irnwinu a larger crowd to
the evening rally and av( part of the campus
pep enthusiasm for Saturday, ihe Rally Com
mittee hns not made plans for a demonstration
this morning during el ass hours.
Past experience has shown 1 hat rallies
during the morning lefore an important
fame tend to use up student spirit to the
fxtcnt lhat little is left t.r the huge honfire
fest planned for Ihe evening, and that the
stands the next day are apathetic to the
extreme.
The Rally Commitlee must realize that
student enthusiasm on the .lay before a Pitts
burg game is a difficult thing to curb and
hold in check, but it hopes that mob leaders
will shy away from their general practice of
breaking up classes on this occasion.
There is another phase involved, and that
is the keying up of the team to too high a
pitch before the game, ever a coach's chief
worry. Too much wild rallying on the part
of the campus population can bring ihe team
to the breaking point. With this in mind.
Coach Bible has asked that there be no rally
this morning, but asks for a huce demonstra
tion tonight. In other words, be thinks his
team would profit more from one concentrated
out burs i than sporadic encouragement thru
out the day.
The purpose of rallies, when all is said and
done, is to key the team to victory by show
ing that student spirit is behind it and pulling
for it. The team doesn't need siu-h artificial
encouragement, for this encounter the tcry
t nought of the game arouses each player to
the point of giving all.
If artificial encouragement will be needed,
it will be next week, when Kansas State's
Wildcats meet the Huskers for the Big Sis
championship. Nebraska will be defending a
perfect conference record that has included
an uncrossed goal line. If the Huskers are to
be sole possessors of the conference crown.
Kansas State must be conquered. A rally Fri
day morning of next week might be jut the
thing to replace that vital spark which will
undoubtedly be destroyed as part of ihe afier
Titt letdown.
Luns Year..
For nine rears Nebraska fans have been
raiding their breaths on designated mid
Xovember Saturday afternoons w ith the hope
less Lope that the Cornhuskers could out
Ecore their rugged rivals from Pittsburgh.
Some of those afternoons loaned them
selves somewhat to a. air of geniality and
festivity; some of ih-m were pretty hard to
take.
There were ih Mv.rf.-lc ties in 92i,
and Vyl ionic 1o sacking C'ornhusker
spirits. But on the other side of the ledger
were the 40-0 licking in 1131. and the 2"-G de
feat iu 1934.
Titt has always definitely held the upper
hand, with a fightintr, vailant Nebraska eleven
usually short of the easterner's power and
scoring ability.
This year's squad of Biliemen will attempt
to justify the results of previous years:
satisfy the victory-longing that pervades in
CornLusker hearts; and show the world in
general that they don't couie too tough for
Xebruk to teat at least once in awhile.
The 1936 Nebrokans have as fine as or finer a
chance to dfeat their opponents than any
team in the past. The Scarlet gridsters per
forming Saturday have been labeled the best
team ever coached by Dana X. Bible. To
morrow they will attempt to prove their right
to this application.
More than mere prestige hangs on the out
come of this intersectional classic. All-Americans
will be made or broken, and the partici
pants in one or -" "" - 'i famous
post-season bowl games will bo selected. If
Nebrnska is to have an opportunity to play
in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day, Pitts
burgh must be overcome. If the Panthers
triumph, the bid probably will go east or south.
Downing those clawing Pitt eats will not
bo nn easy task. Defeated but onoe, and barely
lied by Fordhnm, unbeaten leader of the
cast's elevens, the Panthers will attempt to
keep Iheir intersectional and national reputa
tion clear by smearing the Biblenieu iu the
sod of Memorial Stadium again.
No matter the outcome of the game, Ne
braska fans must realize 1hat their team is
playing one of the outstanding elevens in the
nation, and lhat a beating at its hands is not
a disgrace. There will be cat-calls and dis
turbances if Nebraska loses, as there have been
in the past. But Nebraska fans will bo able to
find no fault in ihe play of the Hnsker
gridsters. They want to win as badly as the
most rabid fan in the stadium.

To the Editor :
The government grant which was received
recently to aid in the construction of a
Student I nimi Building was the culmination
of a loinr and arduous campaign. This drive
is to be highly complimented as a very worth
while endeavor. Now, however, that the
;;-ooiom of financial aid has been settled, the
question of location of the building comes
forth.
The Nebraska eariipus is very spacious and
there are numerous locations possible for the
building. However, it seems 1hat one faction
has an eve on what they consider 1he ideal
location namely, the site' of Kllen Smith Hall.
It is difficult to understand why. when there
are plentv of vacant places available on the
campus, the site of another building should be
considered. This location of the Student Vnion
would necessitate the tearing down of one of
the really beautiful buildings at the University
of Nebraska.
Manv arcue that the bnildinir is too old to
be of anv more value. It is true the building is
old but that adds to its beauty, and it was
in good condition. It was built by a wealthy
Lincoln family many years ago for their home.
The materials used' were of the best, the de
siirn of the building is spacious and beautiful,
and is remineseent of by-gone years. Tt would
be a sacrilege of beauty to remove this stately
old mansion.
Kllen Smith Hall has for many years been
used as the center of women's activities.
Although ihe new Siudent Union provides
space fur these activities, it cannot provide the
hospitable snrroundinss for many trirls as does
Kllen Smith Hall. Unaffiliated girls have long
made this hall iheir "campus home" and it is
hard lo see where any place is provided for
ihem in ihe new Student Union.
Kllen Smiih Hall is distinctive and dir
lVreut upon 1hc campus, the Student Union
will undoubtedly be very similar to the rest
of the school buildings, it cannot hope to at
tain th dignified and gracious air of this old
mansion.
Student Union Buildings may be present
upon every campus of the United Siales and
may be huili for aaes 1o eome but it is hard
to 'replace those structures characteristic of
the early period in Nebraska, such as is Kllen
Smiih Hall. Let us have respect for the old and
not do away with it to make place for the now.

Practice. Not
Theory Is Needed.
To The' Editor:
Reformations are seemingly in vogue today
and the teaching staffs of educational institu
tions may as well be molested. There must
be some need, else why ihe saving "Those who
can. do. Those who an'i. leach"! Then there
is the view expressed by George Sanlayana in
"The Last Puritan" that teachers are either
those who have failed or who have a fear of
failing.
Unfair thouirh these views may be 5n
some instances, they are well founded and
applicable in others. Certainly, students are
disheartened when those who are seeking to
teach them how to live have never really
lived themselves. Furthermore, students would
prefer human nnderstandinc based on experi
ence with life rather ihan psychological under
standing based on Jaboralnrv experiments.
Utility is ihe thinif today. Coupled with
brilliance, it is incomparable. Mere brilliance
and scholarly pursuit is of no significance in
teaching oihers how to utilize knowledge In
living.
Professors for ihe most part have done
nothing else besides studying and teaching
ihe knowledge found in textbooks. In lhaT
lies the imperfection of the teaching staff.
Universities today are harboring theorists.
Theories are said to serve as the fundamentals
find rudiments of practice. Those who seek
to teach, however, should possess a knowledge
of theories and also an experience in taking
part in their application.
Solution to the situation lies in the practice
of a life of reality. Professors should be re
quired to earn their living in the field they
choose to study. Professors of non-vocational
subjects should be required to indulge ia
rubbing elbows and being one of the working
class for a stipulated time before entering
the profession of teaching. Let them be more
for one time at least than strict adherers to
conventional social conduct. Let the hem of
their black gowns of sobriety be tinged with
the dust of the common clay of life.
Then with their knowledge of theory and
actuality they will be more qualified to teach.
Then will students find more cause for
admiration and less for disrespect.

MADISON, Win. It has be
come an engaging altho somewhat
ghoulish pastime here lately to
predict JuhI when Glenn Frank,
University of Wisconsin prenluVnt,
woul.1 be removed from office by
the university regents. Every
one here has a theory about it,
and more than that, they also hive
theories aa to who will be Wis
consin's next president.
The impending ouster lias ac
tually become national news. So
much so that such veteran seers
and crystal gazers as Robert S.
Allen and Drew Pearson, writers
of the Syndicate column "Wash
ington Merry-Qo-Round," recently
made a prediction themselves.
The forecast they made was that
Frank's tenure of office would be
short-lived if the Progressives
were successful in this election.
At the. same time they named
Dean Fred, head of the graduate
school, and Dean Lloyd K. Gar
rison, head of the law school of
the university, as probabla suc
cessors to Frank.
Not to be outdone, this writer
new enters the prophetic lists
with the prediction that a success
ful Progressive party will give
Glenn Frank one more year.
There is an outside chance, but
a very slim one, that he will be
allowed to continue aa prexy for
two more years, particularly if
the Progressive slate comes thru
with only a narrow margin of vic
tory for its major candidates. A
decisive victory and Frank will be
out by the summer of 1937, no
matter what popular support may
be rallied for him among the stu
dents on the campus.
As to who will succeed Frank,
I do not believe either Dean Fred
or Dean Garrison will do so.
Fr'jd is not widely known outside
of Wisconsin, and Wisconsin needs
g name just as much as it needs
an able university administrator.
Nor is Dean Fred likely to give
the university liberal leadership
such as wouid suit the Progres
sives. Garrison would make a capable
president. He is widely known,
has advanced ideas and is well
liked. But the law school head
not only doesn't care much for the
job, but would probably feel re
luctant to replace the man who
broug'it him to Wisconsin as
dean, namely Glenn Frank.
Professor John Gaus, one of
La Follette's brain trusters in the
state government, authority in po
litical science, partcularly in the
field of public administration,
would give the university capable
leadership as its president, but he
too would probably refuse the job
if it were offered to him. The
feeling here is that Gaus would
probably prefer the peace of his
classes in the university depart
ment of political science to the
worry and strain of holding the
office of prexy, an office that has
always been "a target for poli
ticians. Alexander Meiklejohn, of Ex
perimental college and Amherst
fame, would give the office the
lustre it needs to help restore the
academic prestige the university
once had. Wisconsin could not
have a more powerful personali
ty or a more inspiring thinker
as its head, but it is doubtful
j whether Meiklejohn has the neces
' sarv administrative ability. Much
; more imoprtant is the fact that of
i all the presidential possibilities,
he probably has the strongest
aversion to the job. His idealism
and steadfast devotion to just
'causes would bring him afoul of
! the politicians in short order. A:id
j he would certainly resign the
1 piesidencv, just as he did at Am
j herst, before sacrificing any prin
i ciple he held vital,
i The next president -nay be some
I University of Wisconsin luminary
in the natural sciences, some man
j whose political and social beliefs
i cannot be attacked because they
I have not been stated. What is
most likely is that the repents
'will go off the campus to bring
back a prominent outsider.

evening from seven debate aspi
rants to represent the University
at Topeka, December 10, 11, and
12. Arguing- of the question,
"Resolved, that nil electric utili

owned and operated," these four
men were chosen from the seven
U'Iia tried out. Judces for the
contest were H. W. Biederman of
the Nebraska Farmer, Thomas J.

Botany, and Bernard S. Gradwohl,
Lincoln attorney.
Curtiss and Ivlns, who upheld
the affirmative, and Bstandig and
Holstein, negative, will make the
trip to the Topeka legislature.
Each school represented at the
assembly will have four repre
sentatives and bills are introduced
on the floor of the assembly just
as they are in the house of rep
resentatives. At last year's ses
sion a number of bills were in
troduced and passed. Besides
representing the university nt the
legislature, the debaters will ap

schools while at Topeka,
At the tryouts held last night
order of speaking was determined

building at Lawrence, Kans., the
Chancellor advised. "There will
probably be some good suggestions
In his report, altho it ia not likely
that there will be much need for
revision of the plans as they are
quite complete. The Board of
Regents, however, will have the
last word as to what the contents
of the building shall be and how
it shall be arranged, for after all
our main purpose is to have the
best possible building that we
can."
Inasmuch as plans for financing
the building have been almost
completed, there will be but a
short discussion on that subject.
Chancellor Burnett advised. "With
the acceptance of the federal
grant last week, only the matter
of the metnon to oe used in sen-:
ing the bonds is left to be decided, j
This subject was informally dis- j
cussed at the last meeting and
will probably come up again to
morrow." Bond Issue Delayed.
The reason for the delay in
settlement of the bond question
was explained by the Chancellor
to be the fact that no trust com-1
pany will offer any bids until
thev know where the building will
be. located. He said that it is i
undoubtedly true that they may I
like one site and not another as
far as their financial Interest Is
concerned,
"1 am sure that any site that
has been considered for tho build
ing thus far will bo acceptable
to tho trust companies; however,
they are quite naturally awaiting
definite action," the Chancellor
stated. "Thcro is no doubt In my
mind that we will encounter no
difficulty In regard to tho bonds.
We have discussed tho question
enough to know that we can mar
ket them without difficulty."
Regents will undoubtedly dis
cuss method of control of Uw
union building, and according to
the chancellor, possibly will ap
point members who will serve on
the executive body, altho there
Is time for them to postpone ac
tion a little longer. The Student
Council plan will be submitted to
them as a suggestion of the type
of system used successfully at
other union buildings.
