THE LAST FLING!
This is our last fling, as Slim
Meyer would say. The books on the
editor's desk have been closed to
accumulate the summer's dust. The
last Daily Nebraskan of this year
has been locked in its forms, the
last pressman has cussed slaves of
this dirty hole, the last piece of
type has been set.
C-C
Next fall this traditional daily
Will have a new and clean start.
Its offices will be stuck into a
corner of the resplendent Union
building. There, In the Union
building the well-pasted
walls, the cockroaches, the rats,
and the falling cement will be
missed. Sometimes, we hate the
thought of leaving this hell-hole.
Reporters won't be able to write
their stories, news editors won't
be able to write their headlines
without the musty stench that
has kept them coming in and
out. These old rooms made good
Journalists out of such men as
Bill McCleary, Irwin Ryan,
George Plpal and a host of oth
ers. Perhaps It's the cockroaches
that made it possible.
C-C
Rather than think of the "Ras
Do more," we would like to look
back on the last semester mile
atone that it passed. In the first
place, It was headed by a woman,
the first in 15 years. It kept in
time with its usual traditions and
also developed new fields. We
think that the shining light of the
entire paper was the clever Gold
Diggings column headed by Pee-Wee-Wadhams,
Inc. Many people
have wondered just why Pee-Wec
died. All we can say is that he had
pressure from certain parts on cer
tain parts.
C-C
The only real issue for which
the paper championed during
the last semester was the affili
ation of the Lincoln Cathedral
choir. A It ho the results were not
visibly successful at once, don't
let anyone tell you that the con
sideration is dead. Things are
till happening and we predict
that at the beginning of the sem
ester next fall, Nebraska will
have Its own Cathedral choir.
It will be what is now known
as the Lincoln Cathedral choir.
As we look back, also, we like
to take a personal pride in lead
ing some student sentiment
against the textbook rackets be
ing practiced on our own cam
pus. We believe that thru criti
cism by students who are the
sons and daughters of taxpay-lng-upporting-parents
justice
can be obtained. Only new, word
comes to us that a special com
mittee has been created to in
vestigate textbook conditions.
Furthermore, It is our predic
tion that the publication specifi
cally mentioned in this column
several months ago will be
placed on the stands next fall as
the final and complete edition
which will not be changed every
year.
C-C
Lastly, we look to the Corn Cobs
not with a "gripe." but with hopes
and wishes that their new or
ganization will be the makings of
success. We do, nowever, like to
believe that this column was par
tially responsib'e for bringing
about an immediate change. We
have led with our necks with the
purpose of bringing sbout student
entiment in writing. We have
been illogical. Ill-informed, but nev
er let us say that we have been
wrong. We have only tried to
show student opinion as it brews
nd broods, let's go to bed snd get
some sleep for those exams.

Tax Retained for Stadium
Improvement Pending
Litigation.
A decision handed down by the
United States supreme court yes

ment can impose levies on athletic
contests at state universities will
force the University of Nebraska
to turn over approximately J20,
000 in tax collections.
John K. Selleck, business man
ager of student athletics, said in
regard to the money, "I guess that
means that the government takes
it." The money would have been
spend for athletic improvements
had the decision been against the
federal government, he said.
The money has been kept in a
separate fund since July 1, 1937,

started by the University of Geor

fused to pay $895 and $3,914, re

Huskcr Musician
Says U. S. Opera
'Needs Renovation
The average American thinks
of grand opera as a sort of glori
fied song recital where stout peo
ple in queer costumes yell high
notes in foreign languages, Mrs.
Maude F. Cutzmer, university
school of music, told a student su
dience at a recent meeting. The av
erage American likes to go to the
theater and has an instinctive feel
ing for the drama, but it has prob
ably never occurred to him that
opera is a form of drama and that
"The Love of Three Kings" is as
good a show as "Dinner at Eight"
or "First Lady."
Says Mra. Cutzmer: "The slock
argument against opera in Eng
lish has been that there are no
good singable translations, allho
Mrs. Rockefellar McCormick had
many of the foreign contributions
put into classic English for her
private library which has now been
given to this country. Quoting
Herbert Wilherspoon, eminent vo
cal teacher, 'more singing in Eng
lish would help to olve the prob
lem of opportunity and career for
the American singer,' "

At Meeting.
To survey organizations on the
campus, weeding out those which
perform no servlc.s to the uni
versity, to adjust the men's point
system, and to arrange a satls
fatcory settlement for the book
store and textbook situation will
be the main work of the Student
Council next year, Harold Benn,
new council president, revealed to
the group at its last meeting yes
terday afternoon.
"From criticisms of the spring
election," Benn stated, "it is evi
dent that some means must be
found of accurately checking iden
tification cards to prevent doubla
voting. Mr. Selleck has asked our
co-operation with the athletic de
partment to cut down on student
acalpirg in the sale of football
tickets A system of pictures for
every identification card would
probably prove the answer to both
the election and the athletic ticket
problems."
Meeting in the committee rooms
on the third floor of the Student
Union building, the newly elected
members of the council iwt the
stage for next fall's activity by
unanimously approving the tenta
tive budget presented by Dick Mc
