Faith in
The Book Store
It -would be a nice expression of student
sentiment if the Student Council votes today
to suggest the creation of a bookstore board
of control to manage the somewhat misguided
and wandering student bookstore.
At the general election held almost a
month ago, the student body endorsed by some
1.600 votes to 70 the creation of such a board,
with student members. Since that time, the
matter has become a dead issue.
The student bookstore at present is man
aged as any other administrative agency of the
university, and as such has failed in the pur
pose of its founders namely, to secure for
the students the most that can be gotten for
used texts, and to provide some agency on the
campus that would give the student a fair
break in used book values.
Student members of the Student Council
proposing the scheme were hooted down by the
administration on several occasions. They were
called impractical, inconsiderate, fanatic, and
in general young things who wanted to make
a splurge on the campus. The administration
still does not believe in the student bookstore,
and points to its evident lack of overwhelming
success as proof of its original contention, that
the scheme is impractical.
Of course the plan is bound to fail if it is
not given the proper consideration. Manage
ment of the bookstore as another campus agen
cy is not proper consideration. Its topheavy
lack of successes are due not to the impracti
cality of the scheme, but to the mismanage
ment of the scheme.
The plan set up by the students and passed
by the board of regents when the bookstore
was incorporated should be followed, but that
plan has been discarded because the adminis
tration has no faith in it.
t m
An overwhelming vote indicates that the
students do have faith in the venture, and are
willing to support it. But they would like to
have the management vested in a board of
control which would consider the students',
and not the administration's, interests.
The Daily Nebraskan recommends that
the Student Council keep faith with student
sentiment and advocate to the board of regents
that control of the bookstore be taken from
the hands of the administration and placed in
those of a bookstore board of control, com
posed of both student and faculty members.
Perhaps, with faith kept all around, something
can be done to alleviate the used textbook
discrepancy which still exists on the campus.
Wanted:
Orchestras!
The Student Council meets today to de
termine whether or not house parties will be
limited to four in number on any one week
end night, and. incidentally, the fate of the So
cial Chairman's organization.
The Daily Nebraskan has stated its posi
tion on these matters, but we reiterate that
the limitation of house parties is an entirely
unsatisfactory method by which to achieve
the goal better orchestras for less money.
Not only is it unsatisfactory from the practical
view that there are seldom more than four
parties ever scheduled for one night, but the
proposal has failed to receive the support of
the Interfraternity council, which, after all,
is an expression of sentiment that cannot be
ignored.
Obviously, the campus social groups fau
to see the necessity for a curtailment of their
activities. Then why attempt to burden them
with a senseless regulation in order to bind
an empty promise of the Lincoln Musicians
uniouT The only answer can be that someone,
someplace, wants to wield some authority.
The Social Chairman's scheme fails to take
into consideration the problem of sec iring or
chestras for the leading affairs of the campus.
The music for house parties may rise in qual
ity, but the same small bands will continue
playing their somewhat unappreciated num
bers in the coliseum and will continue to col
lect royally for their services.
The musical problem extends to these
functions also, and it is they the Daily Nebras
kau has in mind when we advocate a system
such as that used successfully at Iowa State
and other institutions.
In brief, this system calls for the estab
lishment on the campus of a central student
booking office which would contract bands for
all campus dances, departmental, all university
or fraternity in character. This orchestral
committee could be part of the Student, Coun
cil and responsible to it. It must be operated
as a non-profit making organization.
The committee would maintain n running
correspondence with all national booking
agencies, and could in this manner angle for
orchestras months in advance of the affair.
Contracts may be signed for several parties at
a time, and thus some of the big names in the
national music circle might grace the coliseum
platform.
Local orchestras which fail to live up to
the standards the committee sets would be
crossed off the list, and thus prevented from
playing on the campus again.
Iowa State has found this system particu
larly useful in the reduction of price of the
well known orchestras. Bands play there for
some hundreds of dollars less than they charge
in Lincoln. The committee exudes an attitude
of good dealing which attracts orchestras.
All these features could be incorporated
on the Nebraska campus if the Student Coun
cil forgets its test endorsement of the Social
Chairman's scheme and pets up sufficient
courage to take charge of the problem itself.

TO THE EDITOR:
A well known college in Michigan, oli
phant college, has recently tried an experiment
in the field of education in which the individ
ual differences of a student are taken into con
sideration. This plan is based on the idea that
the student's initiative will determine the pe
riod of time in which a degree may be received.
No attendance to classes is required because
ihere are no classes. If a student wishes to
have a problem cleared of any misunderstand
ings there is a professor who is well informed
on that certain problem with which the stu
dent may confer.
No required examinations are given by
the professors but may be given upon re
quest of the student. The only required ex
amination given, however, is the final, which
the student must pass in order to obtain a
degree. The period of time covered in study
and preparation of the final varies accord
ing to the abilities of the student. The ex
tremely brilliant may cover this four year
course in one and a half years to two years.
The medium intelligent possibly would need
three or three and a half years and other
students might need five or six years in
which to study for the degree. Thus the in
dividual differences in scholastic ability of
students are taken care of and the faster
students will not be compelled to slow down
for those who are not so fast.
If this plan has worked efficiently at Oli
phant college and its idea is so reasonable, why
haven't more colleges and universities thruout
the country follow it ?
Several things are holding the plan back.
First: It is a new idea and many of the indi-
iduals w ho occupy the seats of honor of the
hitrher educational schools are so backward
and bullheaded in trying new thincrs. especial
ly new methods of teaching. They were raised
and taught on the idea that each student
should be dealt with the same as another stu
dent, putting aside the fact that maybe one
student is incapable of a line of work in which
another is a whiz. Second, many students do
not want to be put on their own initiative. For
so long they have been required by the teach
ers to do this lesson or that lesson and if they
failed a horse whip or its equivalent was used.
Now they have become so used to that style
of preparation that if put on their own initia
tive, time, effort and money will be wasted.
This is a grent idea. It hns possibilities
and with the sufficient amount of boost by
educators thruout the nation, very likely it
would succeed. However, before this plan
could become effective in a colleire or univer
sity, the whole attitude of the teachers of low
er grades must be changed. They mm t let the
child have more freedom in the preparation of
his daily lesson, that is. if he should fail to be
prepared let him suffer intrinsically by low
grades and their consequences, rather than
force him to obey or 1o comply to the teacher's
wishes. Too. the attitude f the student should
be replaced by the idea 1hat some day he will
have to make his own decisions and go on his
own initiative rather than on the requirements
of the teacher. Lastly, the big fellows of the
higher educational schools must either gtve in
to the new ideas or be replaced by younger
individuals who will cope with and carry on
the ideas of education according to the up to
date educators and social trends. Chelys

tion, many persons reaching the ideal marry
ing age are yet in school. Doclors and fllw
yei's to be have even longer than average
training years to complete before they may
attempt to make a go of il in the world of Iheir
professions. Then finally, when they have
achieved a formal education lliey are likely to
find that, like so many other college gradu
ates, there is little place for them, economical
ly. The climb toward even moderate financial
security is n long ami rough one. It may be
years before, under the old concepts, they
ought to marry.
This prolonged postponement is not
without its disastrous consequences. Denial
of physical and emotional maturity Its natu
ral and essential fulfillment, marriage, has
definite psychological results. Fundamental
drives may be satisfactorily sublimated and
detoured into other outlets. But often such
attempts at satisfaction are only partially
effective, perhaps not at all. Whatever the
moral implications involved and of course,
immorality among college students is not one
portion so great as some would have you be
lieve they originate in a deep rooted prob
lem which must be solved before its out
ward manifestations may be cured.
It has long been the contention of leading
doctors and psychologists that student mar
riages, with child bearing postponed, is an
answer to the dilemma. Dr. Deppen, univer
sity physician, has frequently stated that he
intends'to encourage, if not effect, his dauch
ter's marriage at IS. As it has fallen to him
to patch up many collegiate attempts at solu
tions of the problem, his word might be seen
to carry great weight.
But how is such a plan accepted else
where? Too often the parents of student
grooms snort. "You've got a wife; now sup
port her!" They fail to see that their boys
are, in part, unhappy victims of an economic
system. The financial burden for his new re
sponsibilities should perhaps not be entirely
theirs, especially if it. would mean real hard
ship, but refusal of assistance, if they are able.
is a repudiation ot the iinest significances ot
parenthood. By standing by, they may assure
the lifelong happiness of two individuals who
otherwise might find the difficulties over
whelm in -.
It is our belief that success in a student
marriage, even more lhan in a graduate union,
is dependent upon the absolute equality of the
two concerned. Duties and cares must be
shared, not einburdeued unevenly upon one
person. There are the problems not only of
providing a favorable atmosphere for the con
tinuation of university work, but also of sup
plying the wherewithal for bed and board, and
maintaining a household. Too often the soul
wearing petty finances of making ends meet
falls on the wife solely, along with her many
housewifely duties. These, coupled with the
difficulties of a feminine adjustment to mar
riage may be sufficient to spell doom for the
happy pair.
If absolute equality is to be observed, it
is easily seen that the wife should be allowed
to finish school. If her new responsibilities
as wife, housewife, perhaps even as bread
winner, become so demanding- that she is
forced to drop out, she faces a probable so
cial and educational deficit which will be
come more pronounced as the years go by.
If she secrifices her university career in fa
vor of her husband's, there may be driven
between them a wide wedge of things not in
common. Perhaps she may even find herself
discarded as her husband beffins to climb to
success. . .
This is noL feminine selfishness, this is
realism. Marriage is a thin? not to be entered
into unaware. If, seeing all lh"se (and many
i no re "i pitfalls, a young couple embarks upon
swirling marital waters clear of eye and firm
of resolve, the odds are overwhelmingly in
their favor. For their niulual problems and
joint solution of them will be a lifelong tie of
,'jnys and hardships shared together. -Sarah
Meyer.

In a message to the third annual confer

President Roosevelt has clamped restric
tions upon the exportation of n new model
American war plane. The president's order,
issued under the espionage act stated that no
foreign sales of the recenlly developed air
craft, will be made until one year after the
United States lias received it.s second consign
ment of the planes.
(.'crald Nye. North Dakota's militant
pacifist senator, recenlly completed a five
point neutrality program which he hopes will
be passed by the forthcoming congress. Sena
tor Nye proposes two constitutional amend
ments and three bills.
He would amend the constitution to
authorize conscription of factories and
money in wartime, and to provide for a
national referendum before the United
States can enter a war. The proposed bills
would forbid money loans and sales of
munitions to foreign countries from the in
ception of a war in which they are involved,
take the profit out of war by limiting- per
sonal incomes to $10,000 and corporation re
turns to six percent during any period in
which the United States is engaged in war,
and provide for stringent regulation of
munition plants during a war to insure full
cooperation with the government.
Senator Nye's five point plan is designed
to keep the United States out of conflict until
a true national emergency arises. It would take
the profit out of war for all types of factories
and capitalistic enterprises, insure that a
declaration of war would be the wish of the
people, maintain the neutraliy of this country
by keeping its munitions out of foreign wars
while they are in progress, and give the
federal government control of munition pro
duction in wartime.

TO THE EDITOR:
Some time aeo there was extolled in the
columns of this newspaper the advisability of
collegiate marriages, while the principals are
still in school. Chief reasons advanced were
that the delay of several years until collegiate
work is completed may estrange an affianced
pair, and that marriage brought the two great
happiness, and was an effective mental bal
ance wheel especially for the man in the case.
It is our belief that the writer pave only
a tiny glowing glimpse of the large problem
of a postponed marriage. To meet the demands
