The University
Musi Seek Substance.
I'anlon us for lieiii! practical, luit wo
Atrc womlc t'hi .just wlien tlie proposals to
ticct ii new liliriiry miylit reach a climax and
Mcps undertaken 1o actuate construction.
"We hate to veil "Sour grapes" at Hie fine
soundiim' )lans publicized in Sunday's issue
ft' the Daily clraskan. They arc all lltat
could lie hoped for at the present time on the
campus ami arc admiralilc in their purpose.
The university does need a new library to re
place the present condemned and antiquated
structure fast approaching its golden anniver
sary of service. No finer single impetus to the
cause of advanced learninir in 1 ho university
could le propagated than this lycouni.
If the governor's recent inaugural address
to the one house legislature is the keynote of
lhe fortlicominqr legislative session, tliere is no
hope of the university securing a prrnnt or 1 o-
inr aide 1o begin the laying; aside of funds in
small quantities for the eventual construct ion
of new buildings. There is no reason to be
lieve that this condition will be interminable,
but there is reason to believe lliat. it will con
tinue for several years, if not longer.
This state lias prided itself on the dis
tinction of being virtually debt free. Until
1his condition, jeopardized somewhat, by the
depression, is approximated in the future, lhe
university will stand no chance of securing an
appropriation, or even a small mill levy.
Making plans for buildings which have no
chance of becoming realities until far in the
future seems to lis to be an idle occupation.
I'.y 1he time construction is undertaken, the
plans will be outmoded, and new ones will be
under way. The rapidity with which the Stu
dent Union blueprints were drafted and ap
prnved after 1he recent, tours of inspection is
evidence that no great length of time is needed
to plan a building, especially when lhat build
ing has been menially formulated for several
years.
The university could better spend its time
making friends for itself in lhe legislature;
lobbying, if you will, than sitting idly by while
its means of support is decreased from year to
year.
1'laiiiiing for new buildings will not help
the situation materially. I'.ut if enough pres
sure were brought 1o bear upon legislators
from oulside sources, the university could have
its mill levy and new buildings. That is a
characteristic, of legislatures which has been
proved and accepted for years in national as
well as state government. If the legislature
will not provide for the university, the univer
sity must seek substance for itself..
France ami England
have threatened to blockade the Spanish coast
and take over Spanish Morocco in an effort to
prevent florin an volunteers from entering
Spain to fight for the Spanish fascists.
For n long time it has been rumored that
Italy and (fcrinany have been sending aid to
the Spanish rebels. Tho annoyed by these
rumors, the French and English were not.
moved 1o action until the flerman troops were
reported to have made their headquarters in
Spanish Morocco. The French have large ter
ritorial possessions adjoining Spanish Moroc
co. They fear that if Hitler's henchmen take
over Spanish Morocco, they will have a base
from which Ihey could attempt to conquer
much desired African possessions. The Eng
lish also have become alarmed al the prospect
of a flerman military and naval base on the
.Mediterranean.
Tho Spanish iivil War
has been called the "little world war" because
of the number of nations unofficially partici
pating in it. The fortunes of war have been
changing in such a way as to confirm rumors
that Kussia has secretly aided the Spanish so
cialists and that lieiiuany and Italy have aided
the fascists.
At, the beginning of the war. the sides
were quite evenly matched. They fought for
a long time in a deadlock. Then the Russians
began to complain that the Italians and lhe
(iermans were sending aid 1o the rebels in the
form of munitions and volunteers. Then,
strangely enough, lhe fortunes of war began
favoring the rebels. They drove the loyalists
back until they had them cooped up in Madrid.
It appeared that they would have little trouble
in taking Madrid. Especially noticeable was
lhe rebels' superiority in the air.
About ihis time, Kussia, seeing her red
comrades in Madrid being slowly w iped out by
the fascists' superiority in the air. became des
perate. They complained bitterly lhat Italy
and (iermany, and not lhe Spaniards, were
winning the war. Then suddenly Kussia's loud
complaints ceased. Rumors wore circulated
complaints ceased. Jtumors were circulated
large amounts of Russian war materials were
being landed in Spain. Simultaneously, the
fortune of war again changed. The loyalist
forces met air raid with air raid instead of
helplessly ducking in their Irenches and try
ing to dodge the bombs. Franco's forces,
which had been steadily driving on .Madrid,
were suddenly halted. Again 1he war came to
a standstill. After several months of Ihis,
Halv and Aormanv again became impatient.
The rebels were making no progress in Spain.
Then came new rumors that llalv and Acr-
inanv were again aiding the rebels in a whole
sale fashion, mainly by allowing "volunteers"
o fight lor the Spanish cause.
Franco and England
had rather weakly protested against this aid
given one side or the other in Spam. How
ever, when the flermans were reported to have
taken practical control of the Spanish Moroc
co, the protests of France ami England were
no longer weak. The protests became ultima-
iiiiis stating that if lhe flermans didn't get
out of Morocco and quit sending volunteers,
lhe French army would take control of the
Morocco and lhe F.ritish navy would blockade
the Spanish coasl to prevent supplies of fascist
volunteers.
France has backed up her threat by mass
ing 100, (MM) troops at the French Moroccan
border. It claims that it. will rush Ihem into
Spanish Morocco and take control if neces
sary to keep the flermans out. One-seventh of
P.ntain s huge licet is converging on Spanish
Mediterranean waters to make good the I'.rit
ish threat 1o blockade the Spanish coast. How
ever, knowing the game of bluff that all Euro
pean nations like to play, one must discount
these bold throats of France and England and
realize that drastic action is improbable.

mad race against husky stevedores of the New
York port, as Kobcrt ('use, arms merchant, sent
off his shipment of used airplanes 1o Spanish
loyalists at noon the other day. The steve
dores worked all night 1o load the airplanes
and clear the ship before congress could rush
thru a bill outlawing the shipment. U. S. cut
lers followed lhe ship in hopes lhat. the bill
would be passed before the Mar Cantabrieo
reached the three mile limit which marks lhe
beginning of the open sea. but the bill was de
layed until the ship was well out al sea, out
of U. S. jurisdiction.

tailed record of each licensed car,
with the- violations.
The professor explained that
w hen an accident occurred, the vio
lation record of the drivers would
be looked up by the police. If a
diiver had 10 or 15 violations
marked up against him, it is evi
dent that he is not a careful
driver.
"I believe this plan would make
drivers take a pride in their driv
ing, and make them strive to keep
their record as clean as possible."
Jenness Wants Tests.
Dr. Jenness believed that ex
tensive and stiff tests should be
given to a driver before obtaining
his license, not because of the in
formation revealed, but because of
the psychological effect it would
have on the driver taking the test.
Such tests impress the prospective
driver with the importance of
driving safely and observing traf
fic rules.
Safety campaigns should not be
conducted on the basis of reduc
tion of speed, according to Dr.
Walton, for it has been definitely
proved that slow driving does not
necessarily indicate safe driving.
Students Best Drivers.
"The students at the university
are the best drivers I have seen,"
stated Dr. Walton. "They drive
fast enough to keep trail ic from
dogging, but are not careless as
are the majority of poor drivers."
One of the best ways to promote
safe driving is to appeal to the
pride of the drivers, urging them
to keep their record free from
violations, and to avoid accidents.
This plan has been tried with
much success in large companies,
giving badges for safe driving
over certain periods.
Many psychological researches
have been made and many tests
given, trying to determine rules
on which a good driver may be
tested and judged. The problem
is so complex that only one im
portant decision has been reached
that if a person has four acci
dents, he will have more. Many
large companies employing driv
ers discharge employees who have
more than four accidents.
Psychologists have spent much
time measuring the reaction rates
of persons in responding to driv
ing stimuli. This rate has a cer
tain bearing on how good or how
poor the driver is, but many per
sons with fust reaction rates will
have accident because they are
not always alert.
Most traffic violations and ac
cidents arc caused bv careless
driving, not upon speedy driving.

REGISTRATION ON
FIRST DAY POINTS
TO RECORD TOTAL
CONGD0N
(Continued from Page 1.)
"By Tuesday afternon many class
es will be closed, and it will be
impossible to place more students
in a classroom than there are
seats, no matter what the student's
excuse may be."
No sections were definitely
closed at 5 p. m. yesterday, al
though the realization that mai.y
would be closed soon after regis
tration, is undoubtedly one of the f
factors in causing so much activ
ity during the first day. Students
with outside employment who
would not toe able to attend cer
tain afternoon courses were espe
cially advised to register early be
cause of the enrollment expected
to be heavy as a result of last
semester's record set by the largest
number of students ever to attend
the university.
Tabulate Class Totals.
Careful record of enrollment in
each class is kept in Dr. Congdon's
office by an intricate system of
cards representing each section in
the university this semester. A
number of cards equaling the num
ber of seats reported by depart- 4
ment heads to be available for each
class are placed in a box labeled
with the section name and num
ber. As registration slips are re
ceived one card is taken from the
section for each student who has
enrolled in it. Registration slips
are collected from each school of
the university three or four times
daily and those from the ag col
lege are mailed to the office each
evening. As soon as all the cards
representing a classroom are re
moved from their box, the section
is closed and all further regis
trants are transfered to other
classes.
Registration procedure will con
tinue through this week, ending at
noon on Saturday, Jan. 16. Fees
will foe collected in Grant Memorial
hall during the week of Jan. 22 to
28, inclusive. After Jan. 28 a late
registration fee of ?3 will be col- i
lected of all students in the uni- 1
versity this semester who have
failed to enroll.
Stude nts are urged to have their
credit cards and a tentative course r
of study before consulting their
advisors. All registration forms
must be approved by the dean of
the school after being made out by
the advisors.
Class schedules, college bulletins,
and advisor's consultation hours
are available in the registrar's office.
