What would the students do without the
faculty?
One of the student council's many com
mittees is the forum committee, composed of
student representatives who are charged
with the duty of sponsoring campus fourms.
Certainly it cannot be the lack of topics a
round which to base a forum. There are more
controversial points today than ever before.
Could it be that the student council's forum
committee is all wrapped up in other campus
activites? There hasn't been a student forum
yet this school year and we are rapidly ap
proaching the two-thirds mark.
Fortunately, students can fall kick on the
fai'iilty. The university convocations commit
tee. :il'!y headed by Dr. Harold Y. Stoke, lias
linmglit several national and international
iitrv.ves to Temple. Theater's rostrum. Dr.
Harry Kurz, as ehiiinnan last year, performed
yeoman service in outlining Ihis year's con
vocation program before he left for (Queens
Collcue.
Dili in tlie past, convocations and forums
f nurished nicely at the expense of. neither.
Forums had a decided student advantage in
that undergraduates took a more active part.
The facultv members attended mostly because
Ihey wanted to bear wlint the students were
thinking and saying' outside of the classroom.
The forum was llie best campus outlet for the
si earn nalliei ed by students interested in af
fairs of llie day.
Every day brings a possible forum topic
They range from University problems to in
ternational crises. Armistice Day school holi
day, bookstore policies, curriculum study,
football, short ballot amendment, the new
deal, republican groundswell, religion and
science, socialized medicine, Anglo-American
trade pact, English royalty's visit to the U
S., Sino-Japanese war outcome, the Munich
pact, Rome-Berlin axis, Lindbergh, Ger
many's anti-Semitic wave, the Spanish war,
third Presidential term, University women
placement, old-age pensions, fraternites and
sororities, U. S. isolation, dormitories, relief,
legislative appropriations, scholarships and
countless others.
The Daily Xebraskan passes the above
topics on to llie student council for its deli-'
hcration at its next meeting- if the slndenl
iroverniuent can cet toyether on where and
when il meets. The Daily Nebrnskan also
promises ils aid to Die council's forum com
mittee if. after i he Thaiikstriv ing recess, llie
committee members show a yenuine interest in
disclinriim their delegated tasks. If not, the
members should be discharged.

content to do the thing experi
men.ally and take our time about
it. This brought about and still
brink about a greet deal of haste
v.hicti makes the project far more
expensive from la k of planning.
It alco brings about industrial and
focial problems for industry moves
into an area not yet ready for it
in order to take advantage of the
power facilities."
"Authorities in Hurry."
"The reason for this hurry is
that the authorites build when
they can build for fear that the
people will change their minds.
The haste is also do to the fact
that the project was inaugurated
during the depression and it was
rieeessary to put as many un
employed people to work as pos
sible. Jobs had to be found for
them and in order to have these
jobs, as much work as possible
had to be started."
According to Stoke, contrary to i
public opinion, the projects fund- j
mental purpose is not for electric
power. However, the financial re- ;
port issued last spring indicates i
1 ha,t of an investment of 94 million 1
dollars, ,2 per cent has gone into i
the development of power facilities, j
The original idea of the project ,
vaji to make the Tennesee river
navigable and to establish flood
control in the valley. j
Soke said as far as he knew
cr could see, thre was no fraud or
graft in the administration and no
one was getting rich off the pro
jfl. The committee at the head
of the T. V. A. seem to realize the
importance of their positions and
have high ideals concerning its
completion and use.
Water Navigation Failure.
Concerning the success of the
thrr-e purposes of the projeit,
StoVe said, "All water navigation
baa been a rii.'mal failure In the
United States, and I firmly believe
the navigation efforts of the T. V.
A. will be no exception. As for
flood control, the four floods In the
Tennesee valley during the last
75 years have not been disastrous,
for the river lies between high and
narrow bluffs and the bottom
lands not heavily populated."
As for the power, he contends
there is no real market for it In
the Tennesee valley. Although,
many of the surrounding (ties will
le supplied nt a much lower rate,
jiowor Is really a weak purpose.
According to Stoke, the whole
T. V. A. program Is highly Ideal
istic. Regardless of its rather bad
points, it will greatly increase and
better the industrial and social
life of the entire section it affects.

submitted Its recommendations for
buildings needed on the campus.
Approval was given a request
contained in a petition from the
mechanical engineering depart
ment asking that the department
be permitted to organize a Ne
brsHka ch&ptar of Pi Tau Sigma,
national acholaatlc honorary fra
ternity for mechanical engineers.
Dues, which will be good for life
membership, will run about $10
for national fees, and S3 for local.
Approval must still be secured
from Dean Thompson before the
chapter may be formed.
The question of a student night
club in the Union was again raised
and President Benn stated he
would appoint a committee in the
near future to investigate the pos
sibility of such a project. U is
possible that under Council spon
sorship and approval, the Union
management would direct such a
program, planning, financing, and
presenting a night club feature at
regular intervals during the year
as desired by student patrons.
Report on Work Conditions.
Gerald Vitamvas and Merrill
England, appointed recently to in
vestigate student working condi
tions in downtown restaurants and
hotels, reported that there was no
evidence found anywhere to sub
stantiate the complaints raised by
student employees, and that even
the complainets had abandoned
the cause and failed to produce
any of the evidence of which they
had talked so vigorously earlier in
the year.
A new radio committee was ap
pointed to work with the regular
publicity committee in publicizing
the University over the air. Mary
Anna Cockle will act as chairman,
assisted by Jack Bingenheimer and
Catherine Bullock.
Inasmuch as students must have
some 90 odd hours to gain admit
tance into the law college, here
after law freshmen will vote as
seniors in student elections, ac
cording to a new resolution passed
hy the Council.
Student Council pictures for the
10.1. Cornhnsker will be taken
Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 29, at 5
o'cloc k in the campus studio.
