SAN FRANCISCO Los anoslss Portland Sbattli The Youlh of the State A Sound Investment During the past two weeks, the Daily Ne braskan has attempted to reflect an accurate picture of the physical plant in which the uni versity tries to bring higher education to the youth of the state. Knowing that the force of student opinion alone Is not sufficient to ob tain needed improvements, we expanded our daily audience to include legislators and hund reds of citizens outstate. This is the final edi torial of the series, but the Nebraskan will continue to report the campaign for a better university both in the news and editorial columns when pertinent legislation reaches the senate floor. Today, Nebraska's senate faces responsibilities paralleled in few other sessions of the legislature. During the seventy years of state history, pioneer families have faced every pestilence from grass hoppers to droughts, but youthful courage awl new frontiers carried them into greater prosperity. The situation confronting our legislature today has no precedent in state history. There are no more virgin fields to till, no more homestead rights to claim when the going gets tough. We are faced with the limit of our resources, and must plan an intelligent future with what we have at hand. We are facing recovery, but that recovery must be on a sound basis. Expenditures must be in vestments, not inflation. Conservation of the re sources we row have must characterize the new rules of the game. Nebraska's youth is the most valuable re source the state possesses. But youth and edu cation are now being sacrificed on the altar of false economy. Little more than a political foot ball the university has sunk Into a steady de cline in standards, equipment everything but enrollment. During the drought period, university offi cials realized the emergency confronting the state, and voluntarily reduced teaching forces and salary scales already at a minimum. But the money thus saved would never justify the loss through depreciation to the state's most valuable investment. The university again wants to deal In futures. That Is its business. It gives the state Its pro fessional leaders for twenty years hence, and has the. alumni record of seniors twenty years ago as its recommendation. It asks only ample equipment to carry out Its work. It offers In controvertible evidence to prove Its needs. Basis for this future policy is Legislative Bill No. 334, which would provide "a fund to be known as the State Building Fund to consist of the pro ceeds ot an annual tax of one-half of a mill on the dollar valuation of the grand assessment roll of the state; provided for the separation of said fund and the allocation thereof on a percentage basis to the use of the respective institutions which are under the general control of the Board of Control, of the Board of Regents and the oEard of Education for the State Normal schools, to be expended by said boards, respectively, for the purchase of lands, construction of new buildings and for permanent improvements; providing for the acceptance of and assent to the acts of con gress which offer, by way of grants, aid to the state for agencies of the state government in aid of construction for use of state institutions..." This bill provides for other state institutions, as well as the whole "system of higher educa tion. No excessive financial burden is caused by its method of distributing the cost over a period of years the Nebraska pay-as-you-go-policy. Long thwarted by political maneuvering the bill makes possible the democratic ideal of edu cation. It is a concrete plan for adaptation to future needs ,and meets one of the state's pri mary responsibilities. No measure befsre the legislature is more consistent with a sensible solution to the prob lems confronting the state than Legislative Bill No. 334. Because it provides for the welfare of the entire state, opposition can come only from special Interests. And in the face of the record set thus far by the first unicameral legislature, there Is little chance that the passage of this bill will not be among its accomplishments. feel that I work best when I have a specified time in which to get a certain lesson." Florence Farwell, Teachers college senior: "I want to be by myself if I have a difficult assignment to get, but when I have nothing that re quires a lot of concentration, I pre fer to study with someone else. I want ft quiet. I sit in a straight chair before a study table I don't seem to do so well when I'm com fortable." Ernie Grossman, Bizad freshman: "I seek solitude, though it's hard to find. I want no outside interfer ence such as the radio. I prefer to assume a comfortable position; I always drop off to sleep anyway, the position makes no difference. How do my study habits differ from other people's? On, I never get my studying completed." Lloyd Kronlck, Arts and Sciences sophomore: "I find that if I can begin to concentrate, nothing disturbs me, but it's a little hard to get started when I'm in the library. When I'm studying, I prefer to sit at a study table where the light is goad and there is no glare on my naper. I don't like to sprawl out in a chair; if I'm too comfortable I'm apt to fall asleep." Mary Eileen Campbell, Arts and Sciences freshman; "If I really want to study, I pre fer to be alone. I like to sit at a study table, then I'm not tempted to doze. I feel that if the radio is on 1 helps me to concentrate. I always study my hardest assign ment first, go on to the next, and then go back and repeat the first lesson. This fixes the more diffi cult assignment in my mind." Manley Hawks, Bizad freshman: "When I study I prefer to be in my own room. Music on the radio helps a lot. but the minute a speaker comes on, it's practically impossible to. concentrate. I've found that I can get more out of my study if I am a little uncom fortable;" in an easy chair, I can't concentrate on a problem. When I have several assignments facing me, I usually sit down and go right through them. However, when I've (Bidktui Lutherans Meet.

That has its drawbacks, however, most of my work consists of outside reading and so many of the books that I really need for a longer period are put on reserve and are only avail able to me for a few hours." Eldred M. Winter, Bizad freshman: "I'd rather be by myself. I do most of my studying in the even ing, and have the radio on. w nen I have a stiff assignment. I like to study it in an easy chair because I think that my mind works bet ter when my body is in a comfort able position. If I get rather bored with one asslgment, I usually leave the subject, go on and study an other lesson, and then come back to the one that gave me the trouble."

Sen ator E. M. Von Seggern has had a special interest; Two of his pons served as editors of this publica tion in 1931. Both were also In nocents. The West Point senator's hobby, as far as the legislature goes, is taxation. Altho he has introduced rone of his own bills, he has urged more than a dozen bills for his constituen cies. Five of these were sug gested by the governor.

"On the whole the unicameral svs tem is more successful than the bicameral system, however, be cause of the fact that interested parties have a chance to appear before committees." A member of both the special and regular sessions of 1935, Sena tor Von Seggern sees success in trip unicameral bodv because its members cannot "pass the buck" from one house to the other.

Should the bill be favored, the university might secure much needed structures within the next several vears.

He is a democratic member of the assembly and served for eie:ht years on the city council of West Point.

Says Mr. Wood: "I think we should ask Nebraska to leave the union. A state that is out of debt has no place in our nation. W e sra! legislature, he was condemned by the faculty, which feared that the criticism would have som ef fect on the university budget. Sen ator Von Seggern immediately backed the editor's right to make such criticism. One hundred percent in favor of the unicameral system, the sena tor does, however, believe there are several changes which should be instituted. In the first place, he believes the work of the uni cameral should be separated s that matters of the same sub stance will all be considered at the same time. The other change, which at first brought consider able comment, is the proposal that more than one session of legisla ture be held each year. Wants Two Short Sessions.

After a little questioning, we find that some prefer solitude, some must have a crowd about them, a few prefer library, and there are count less idiosycrasies, such as keeping one's feet off the floor, having the radio on, and seeing that diffused light comes over one's left shoul der But why enumerate the pecu liarities of studying collegians? Whether you study or whether you don't, you might be interested to know how those around you are concentrating. Nancy Jane Kehoe, Teachers col lege Junior: "When there's a chance of a mistake in calculation. I prefer to work with someone else, but if I have something to learn, I don't want anyone bothering me. When I'm concentrating, I want to be as comfortable as possible, so I lie down on a bed and prop my self up with some pillows. I prefer to study in bed because I know that I'll go to sleep anyway, and if I'm going to sleep I want to be in an appropriate position. Then I have the habit of putting off les sons till the last minute because I have only a certain time in which to finish a lesson, I'm sure to get it done." Sam Swenson, Arts and Sciences junior: "I like to get my feet up off the floor, and have the book tipped toward me just a little bit. Then, I've got to have the right kind of light different light and it's got to come over my left shoulder. If I'm working on something ex tremely interesting, the house could fall down and I wouldn't know it; but if I'm studying a lesson on which it's hard to concentrate, a crowd of people will drive me nuts." Frances White, Teachers college senior: "After studying at the library for a few days, I can become ac customed to having people around, but when I'm in my room I prefer to be alone. The conversation that I hear in the library dolsnt in terest me and doesn't take my at tention from my lessons, but when people who are in my room begin to talk, it's usually on some sub ject In which I'm interested and I can't concentrate on my studies. I prefer to sit in a comfortable' chair as long as I have so much to do anyway, I feel that I might as well be comfortable while I'm do ing it.
