Regents
Respond
When Chancellor Boucher started off
the. school year in September, he promised
to look around and see what makes the Uni
versity of Nebraska click. Judging from the
activity at the Board of Regents' first 1939
meeting yesterday, the chancellor certainly
lived up to his promise. He evidently looked
and saw. He reported his findings to the
Regents who immediately responded with
major administrative and instructional revi
sions. Most important revision made ly the Ite
Rents ami Chancellor Boucher is the new
School of Fine Arts. On July 1, the school of
music, department of fine arts and parts of
the speech and dramatic arts depnrmrnt will
be taken under the wing of the new fine arts
School.
Only praises can he heaped upon the offi
cials who brought about this major change,
thus centralizing into one school the cultural
output of the I'niversity. Hy grouping these
worthwhile activities under one name ami un
der one director, a more tangible result can be
6hown for the efforts expended.
There is a lot that can be said about the
school of fine arts both pro and con. With
typical Nebraska frankness, both sides will
have their say. There will be some who will
feel their activities have been curtailed or
regimented by this instructional reorganiza
tion. This is only a natural reaction, the same
kind that nationally produces charges of
regimentation when the government at
tempts to do something for the good of the
majority. But we see the new school as con
structive reorganization, rather than de
structive action by the regents. The setting
up of the school of fine arts is comparable
to the laying of a foundation for a beautiful
cathedral, designed for the cultural advance
ment of the future.
The new bureau of instructional research,
recommended by Chancellor Boucher's com
mittee on educational policies anil practices, is
equally n praiseworthy venture, devoted in the
main to the academic workmanship of the fac
ulty. Yithout going into detail, we can see in
the bureau a great deal of badly needed mod
ernizing. This bureau, under the direction of
Dr. Guilford, looms up as a addition to
the instructional burden, but its success is
largely assured by the task it is designed to
accomplish.
The discontinuance of the department of
public relations ami the installation of an ed
itorial and publicity department, which lakes
over the functions of the former, can only be
viewed as more progressive action by the Kc
genbf. I'sually operating quietly without the
notice of students, this branch of the adminis
tration fulfills an important function in letting
the world know nf the I'niversity of Nebraska.
While it may be too early for rejoicing
over the Regents' action, all omens point
toward Jan. 7, 1239 as being one day, a red
letter day, in the University books. The Re
cent! and Chancellor Boucher undoubtedly

and general welfare of the University, but
they are not hurrying too much. To those who
viewed Saturday's revamp program as dras
tic, the answer comes that Saturday's action
was the result of several months of exhaus
tive but patient delving into the problems
at hand. We can all rest assured that the Re
gents and Chancellor Boucher concluded
their preliminaries with a reorganization
gram that goes a long way toward polish
ing up to a brighter sheen Nebraska's star
in the collegiate heaven.
Appreciation
(tie of the most thankless jobs in a uni
versity is that of dean of women.
Her disciplinary power which she is oft
en forced to exert is not an enviable phase
of her work. She is often sharply criticized for
certain rulings by unthinking students who
never take the trouble of seeing "the other
side-' of the story. As a dean, her relationship
with women .students must not become too in
timate. As a woman, her sympathy with the
students and her understanding of their prob
lems is uinlt . ihle.
Not until resignation or the passage of
considerable time, it appears, tints a dean or.
for that matter, any important official be
come appreciated. Like the prophet who goes
without honor in bis own land, so does the
dean serve without campus appreciation.
Because of prolonged ill health whirl) has
kept her away from her desk all semester. Miss
llrppner's resignation did not come as a com
plete surprise. ( 'onfiiieil in the hospital since
August, she has done her best 1o keep in con
tact with the I'liiversity and its problems. Her
work as dean of women is soniet hini: that can
not be dropped abruptly alter a score of years
in which she has been the official c.-iinpus
''mother'' to thousands of coeds.
It is not easy fur this editor to write
kniwitigly of Miss Ileppner, bemuse ainont:
campus men she is not known personally.
Campus women, however, agree that the biss
of Miss Ileppner 's services to the I'niversity
she has faithfully served will be keenly felt.
Miss Ilcppner's philosophy of higher ed
ucation, according to tin- women, was based
on a food education and travel. She did her
utmost in attempting to give the women who
sat across from her desk a good education a
generous mixture of application to scholastic
pursuits ami acquisition of the social graces
which round out the collegiate picture. Many
were the activities Oie sponsored during her
tenure 1o provide I ni t rsity women with the
knowledge of a well-rounded college education.
She set a good example for the women in
encouraging travel by making numerous trips
abroad ami throughout the I'nited States. Miss
Ileppner aroused a Nebraska interest in travel
for edn-;itional purposes by bringing back the
many things she collected in foreign countries.
Her cultural contributions to I'niversity life
will leave their imprint upon the students to
whom she devoted her administrative earrer.
Miss Ifeppnrr will live long in the memory of
the thousands of students who will now begin
to appreciate what they failed to recognize in
the past.
likelier reference since removal Is
done selectively according to util
ity of the volumes.
Since the library already holds
its maximum quantity of books, the
additional purchase of 12.000
bound volumes a year nr-ce.vsaiily
calls for displatement of a similar
amount. The amount of 12,000
when compared with capacity fig.
ure of 120000 shows that the li
biaiy has to shift one-tenth of its
volumes a year. '
To rut down on Its purchase of
new book and magazines would
be to cripple the library and cause
it to lag behind modern standards
To the Legislature.
Twelve thousand bound vol
umes occupy about 1.400 lineal
feet of shelving. This figure whs

volumes moved out perforce, would

Pipes Preferred as Coeds
View Male Smoking Habit
Cigars? 'They Stink'
Cigarettes? 'No Appeal'
By Brus Kamul.
"Give a man a pipe he can
smoke" would seem to be a phrase
fitting the consensus of female
opinion on the male smoking
habits.
At least that's the result of a
recent informal hasty survey.
Names were not thought essential,
mainly because the first girl asked
spelled her name Czynadowicsz,
and it finally turned out she did
not go to university anyway so
the surveyor just concentrated on
getting opinions and to hell with
Ihe names of the ones that uttered
them.
"They Stink."
"Cigars are terrible," said a
freshman girl, adding frankly that
"they stink."
"I like to see a man smoke a
pipe," said a junior girl in reply
to the question, "what do you
think about cigars?"
"Cigars are out," said another
girl, positively.
The solution to that problem
would he to light them again, of
course, but all the feminine pre
cinct returns give pipes a com
manding lead over cigars and cig
arettes for esthetic appeal.
Halo of Smoke.

a sophomore girl. "But I love it

price was 3 cents a yard. On the .
same question the seniors and
freshmen both averaged 25 percent

thought that a pound of lead

trick questions by their third uni

pound of fe-ithcrs would weight
more than a pound of lead. Most
of the freshmen knew the number
of their classrooms, while all the
seniors, who have learned how to
get around without the aid of room
numbers, missed the question.

students who took the test. De

"I realize cigarettes are easier ot

girl with an analytical manner.
"But I still like pipes better. I
mean I like to see boys smoke

One dissenting vote was cast by
a sentimental sophomore who said
she liked to see boys smoke cigars
because it usually mean somebody
had become engaged somewhere.
Seeing that pipes were defintely
tops in the feminine viewpoint,
the survey conductor turned the
tables and asked the boys what
they thought of girls' smoking

The Bull About Football
Two recent incidents that
cropped up a couple of thousand
miles apart show a startling new
development in gridiron circles.
Timed with the appearance of
"Ferdinand the Bull," the new
Walt Disney cartoon, and also con
sidered as a sporting gesture
toward the Latin American na
tions assembled at Lima, the mon
arch of the cow pasture has taken
the spotlight away from two
footed triple threats and concen
trated it on himself.
First of all there was the re
cent bull fight in Harvard stadium.
If football, it was definitely in
flagrant violation of Harvard pol
icy of no post-season games. It
started when two steers broke
loose from Brighton Abattoir, less
than a mile from Harvard stadium.
A flying squad of Boston police
pursued the beef through traffic
filled streets as they headed
straight for the business school,
finally managing to turn them
into the stadium. Once within the
arena the beasts immediately pro
ceeded to adapt their Spanish her
itage of ring lore and tactics to
the New Kngland climate and van
ished in the heavy fog that over
hung the playing field.
The bluecoats countered with a
wide-spread defense, racing araimd
the stadium and Un king all exits,
and then moved cautiously back to
the attack, armed with riot guns,
sometimes called "the Buck Bay
'cspiida' " On the offensive now,
the police employed a fan-shapeoi
formation, and advanced toward
the point where they thought the
steers were located. The opposi
tion, however, elected to hit the
line, and out of nowhere both ani
mals came hurtling at the thin
Blue wall, scattering the hopeful
matadors like chaff, and disap
pearing again into the mist. Again
the brass-buttons formed their
line, and again the traveling
steaks chose a plunge, but this
time the Blue had solved their
strategy, and Officer Telvln
brought down the interference
with a blast from his riot gun.

league sent the rest of the team to

"At a university one finds him
self in one of the widest environ
ments the world can afford." says
the sociologist Charles Cooley. He
goes on to give an example of a
student at a college who after
graduation narrows his environ

lcr camp and allows his life to
center around this one particular
phase of life.

Defines Federal Corporations as
'Instrumentalities of Government'
After a study of the major court
decisions which will clarify the
question nf the legal status of the
federal corporations. Dr. Harold
W. Stoke of the political science
tlepartment states that "federal
corporations are corporations in
name and form, but instrumentali
ties of government in status and
power."
Dr. Stoke has recently had his
article on the problem published
as the principal feature in the
Georgetown Law Journal. Creat-
gress is largely resnnnsioir, me
political scientist points out.
"Whether this uncertainty will
continue will tlcpend upon the wil
lingness of congress to declare
definitely the future economic and
governmental role of the federal
corporation in the United States."

State Courts Define.
The status of state established
coiporations has been definitely
defined by the state courts. Dr.
Stoke found. The principle, he
says, is well established that when
the states employ corporations in
activities which sre r.ot stmtly
governmental, these corporations
divc.it themselves from their sov
ereign rhuracter and take on that
of private persons. Federal court
decisions, however, seemingly leave

George's Double.
Girls have dates with George
Phi Psi Seaman, beware. Some ac
quaintance (we dare not call him
a friend) took the opportunity of
making vacation a merry one by
making quite a few dates for tho
future with some of the cajnpus
belles, of which George is all per
fectly Innocent. The pay off wag
when one of the girls called him
up to break a date, which left
George in the dark.
New Years eve he spent a quiet
evening at home, going to bed at
9:30 while his Kappa date made
quite a bit of rumpus staying at
home. Likewise in Lincoln, Bus
Knight, Sigma Nu, and a few
others of his sex waited around all
evening for George to drive up
from Omaha after them, as they
had been informed by telephone.
The next morning, they received
phone calls telling them that
George was sorry, hut just could
not make it.... and from now on,
George doesn't know when his free
nights are.
Harold Stoke
the question unanswered. The su
preme court, for example, has re
pudiated the view that the nature
of the function performed by the
corporation has any effect on its
governmental character. Unless
made otherwise by implied legis
lative action, federal corporations
are to be regarded as parts of the
government itself and not as sep
arate entities.
Dr. Stoke explains that such a
study of court opinions leads to
two observations, ( 1 1 that the le
gal status of corporations ia en
tirely dependent upon legislative
determination, and (2) that in the
absence of legislative determina
tion the court hns been guided to
a large extent bv its estimate of
the effect of its decisions upon th
tiscniiness or inc corporation aa
