VALIDATION of the social
security program by the supreme
court obviously means less than
a tinker's dam to President
Roosevelt. He Is determined to
carry out his original court re
organization plan for two rea
sons: (1) 5 to 4 decisions on new
deal legislation which he feels
are too close for the certainty
of future administrative valida
tion; (2) opponents to the court
reform even If a compromise is
effected. His latest recommen
dations, anti-child labor legisla
tion and minimum wages and
maximum hours provisions, are
destined for supreme court deci
sion If enacted by congress.
..VOTE on the administration's
$1,500,000,000 work relief bill will
be cast this week by the house,
following: its refusal Tuesday to
turn back administration of relief
to local communities. The propo
sal, sponsored by republican rep
resentatives, called for federal
contributions of three-fourths to
one-fourth by states. Some high
powered propaganda has been
loosened thru Harry Hopkins' re
lief offices to secure the desired
billion and a half dollars to alle
viate the heavy relief rolls.
FAULTY construction was
blamed as the cause for the si
phon break in the Platte Valley
power and irrigation district
project by army engineers Tues
day who completed an independ
ent probe of the trouble. An
earlier examination by an ex
plosive expert revealed that the
break was due to some malicious
dynamiting of the siphon. Farm
ers In the lower valley who had
planned on using the project's
water for irrigation will be
forced to look elsewhere for
water.

TO THE NEXT EDITOR:
Rummaging thru tlie files of 37 years of Daily
Nebraskans today, we traced the evolution of the
"tombstone" editorial, from the two line farewells
Mor tne early nuiuirecis to the column long resumes
of our near contemporaries. There are, In the
main, three types of "swan songs": 1. We've had a
swell time and hate like hell to leave; 2, There are
so many things left undone, so many things to do;
3. This isn't a swan song; this is only the Urj,.n.
ning of a gieut future.
We would like to take the last point of view
and weave it around a few recommendations for
your editorial policy next fall. They're not any
one editor's policies they've been with the Ne
braskan since its first glorious days. They are tra
ditions which have proven their worth, and have
guided more than one editor thru the rocks of indecision.
When you lose patience with some department
or individual in the university, when you'd like to
tear into some seemingly cockeyed policy that the
great white fathers of R street have decreed, file
your editorial away in a drawer for 24 hours. If
it's good criticism, it will benefit with mellowing
age; if it's unwarranted, it will have spoiled over
night. Remember this: The university, like the
state, is a comparatively young institution. If you
were writing for the paper of some venerable old
college in the New England Ivy league, there is
little that you could say that would harm the insti
tution. But Nebraska is still in growing pains; we
have yet to win the complete confidence and sup
port of the people of the state. You can do more
for your school by giving recognition to some of
the thankless jobs that are being done around here,
and overlooking the rough spots that seem to lack
polish.
Try to "stay on the campus" as much as pos
sible; the readers appreciate pertinent comment
that enters their immediate sphere of activity. If
you're tempted to expound the virtues of dialectic
mate-ialism, look around first for topics that might
effect more tangible results. But don't pass up an
opportunity to discuss national issues if the cam
pus is really interested; it is still our opinion that
the Student Pulse contributions on the supreme
court reform proposal were the most interesting
stories the Nebraskan carried this semester.
Don't forget that the staff makes your paper.
What George Grimes said 20 years ago still holds
true; that feeling of friendly co-operation has met
more deadlines than all the material incentives in
the world.
If you ever get discouraged and lose all faith
in these democratic institutions of higher learning,
remember that Nebraska students are nrnhahlv
i
better off than anyone of their age in the world.
iuu wuujuni iratie places witn tne German or
Italian or Russian youth; you can at least make
your own opportunities, pattern your future to suit
yourself.
Nebraska has had an eventful past, but its
golden age of development lies in the future. The
year just completed has seen new ideas and impor
tant changes in our philosophy of education; you
will be sitting on the front row when they 'first
face the firing line of experience. We graduating
seniors envy you: we can only hope that you will
preserve the best part of the Nebraskan tradition
of fairness in dealing with them. With this assur
ance, we know that the Nebraskan will never im
pede the university in its progress.
"During the last 25 years, hazing has been dis
appearing from college. This is due largely to the
fact that students are devoting their energies to
other activities and have little time for such trivi
alities." Raymond E. Manchester, dean of men at
Kent State university, thinks students are almost
past the prankish "Rover-boy" days.

An Old Ox Road.
TO THE EDITOR:
For a long time after coming to the Nebraska
campus from the University of , I won
dered why picnics form the sole topic of conversa
tion among even the lesser Don Juans of Frater
nity Row.
I was astonished at this phenomenon. From
the first warm day In March to the last sultry in
terval between final examinations yea, from the
January thaw to the dust storms of June one
hears of picnics. . . . vague rumors of future pic
nics, specific references to past picnics. Picnics,
picnics, picnics. . . . One would think the biggest
social event of the year a Nebraska picnic.
But wherefore this palaver of the pleasantries
of picnics? For a Nebraska picnlo Is no great
shakes, even to a Nebraskan. Even a plainsman
should know that Nebraska, with Its ugly flats,
its treeless landscape, its dusty surface, its lack of
lakes and rivers, of Inspiring views, is not thte ideal
picnic ground.
Then why, in this land of mud choked streams,
of stagnant ponds, upon which the raucous voiced
frog croaks for sustenance and the moon is loath to
cast a beam, should picnics be the answer to a
maiden's prayer and a youth's designs? Can the
picnic myth be a creation of Lincoln's cleaners and
dyers? I asked myself.
The answer came to me one day when I was
thinking (as all college boys are wont to do in
springtime) of Stanford's lover's lane, Virginia's
willow drive, Illinois' ox road, and Wisconsin's ob
servatory hill. Nebraska lacks these more pleas
ant stepping stones to romance. And so without
these elaborate settings, the moonstruck youth,
bent on a pin hanging which he conceives to be his
own idea, nurtures his romance in the drab, dusty
milieu of a Nebraska picnic. And he boasts the
next year, to the later disillusionment of hapless
freshmen, of the wonderful picnic season which is
to come. So much for all this ostentatious talk of
a picnic in the dust bowl.
Nebraska lacks a Student Union building, an
adequate library, and proper classrooms, but it
lacks, how much! a journey's end for lovers. A
wise legislature will take heed. How much belter
to expend some thousands upon the creation of
rural retreats outside this unpleasant city of Lin
coln than to build a Student Union building. In
union there is strength but no romance.
Every mother knows what a picnic is. In the
interests of morality, if not of beauty, give us an
old ox road! EXPATRIATE.

"It is not relief that breaks men's spirit. It is
the condition that makes relief necessary." Dor

politically speaking, when you are in a minority."
Fiorella LaGuardia.
"After all. no one can teach you anything.
Nine-tenths of what a professor knows you can
find in books, if you know what books to find it in,
and the other tenth consists of deductions which he
has made from his knowledge. You can make the
same deductions or bette: ones if, as, and when
you have the same or better knowledge.
The great teacher is not the one who unloads
on you, but the one who inspires you with an in
satiable passion to know, one in whose presence you
determine to live a greater and higher life."
George B. Cutten.

But this ls not the congress of
the United States; this ls the
model congress which will meet
at Milwaukee in July. The Amer
ican Youth congress has been
promoting a model congress and
every National Youth organiza
tion is entitled to four members
of the "senate." Each local youth
organization may send one "rep
resentative" for every 00 mem
bers. All "senators" and "represena
tives" will be expected to have
proposals and resolutions ready
to be referred to tho committees
before the "congress" opens.
Members of this model congress
will not be allowed tho 20 cents
per mile travel expense money
that is appropriated for members
of the national congress. How
ever, a committee is working to
arrange living accommodations at
a very reasonable rate.
National problems of unemploy
ment, war, industrial relations anil
other topics will constitute tho
agenda of the meeting.

during a final test.
But the "prof" got the better of
the deal. Asked why he was loaf

"I'm giving a final examination."
"Aren't you afraid the students
will crib?" the questioner wanted
to know.
"No. I turned In the final
