ECONOMIZE AND SPEND
1. Lack of merely adequate housing for
several important parts of the present edu
cational program.
2. Lack of necessary equipment.
3. Lack of library reference books.
4. Lack of sufficient instructional staff.
5. Loss of some of the best faculty mem
bers to institutions able to pay higher sal
aries and offer better facilities for teaching
and research.
6. Inability to attract faculty members
for teaching and research,
7. Inability to attract faculty members
of distinction equal to those lost.
This is but a brief list of 1lie University's
runny requirements which will hnrrass the
Unicameral's appropriations committee mem
bers when they meet this afternoon. No
.simple task is it to attempt forcing the two
ends of a mmflexilile substance to meet, the
committee will discover. Faced with the gov
ernor's proposals for increased economies be
side such an appalling group of absolute
necessities of the university, ihose selected 1o
make suggestions will find the sailing exce
edingly choppy.
it could have been Chancellor Boucher, or
the head of any of the state's schools, or per
haps a private citizen, who declared recently:
"It has been said that a university will
be a great institution in proportion as it has
a great faculty. This is essentially true. The
material with which a faculty works, how
ever, is the student body plus the equip
ment for teaching and research. Of prime
importance, therefore, is a thoro considera
tion of the student and his needs. lie must
be brought into stimulating contact....
with teachers who can direct his intellectual
growth."
The same citizen might have continued:
"It is imperative, if we are to have a
healthful and sound growth that provisions
be made for the recognition of outstanding
faculty service. .. .We can encourage the
younger members of the staff if we can give
them the chance to do fine work and a
reasonable compensation so that they arc
not overly harrassed financially."
These words are directly applicable to the
university of Nebraska. As a matter of fact
1hey were spoken by President Dykstra of the
University of Wisconsin. Unwittingly Presi
dent Dykstra made an appeal that is probably
more urgently needed here than at his own
institution.
The Board of Regents, in submitting the
budget proposal prove their cognizance of the
financial condition of the people. They request
no huge, fabulous sum they knew full well to
be far beyond the means of the state. Nor do
they ask for unneceassry funds to greatly in
crease the university's functions or enrol
lment. The $.'!G!,G(i:i increase over the 1937 ap
propriation was made to safeguard the posi
tion and standing the university has attained
in the past.
The day has come when the university
no longer encourages the trek thru the cam
pus of hordes of credit hunters. Instead it is
more interested in improving its product,
the student, rather than the institution itself.
This is the reason that university officials
covet the long time membership in the as
sociation of American Universities, ranking
accrediting and standard-setting organiza
tion in the United States educational world
to which only 17 state and 16 private uni
versities have been admitted.
lliis is the reason the university is not
simply requesting; it must have funds to pro
vide adequate housing, necessary equipment,
library reference books, additional instructors,
better teaching research facilities, and higher
salaries. Without the ability to correct or at
least materially reduce these deficiencies,
which merely touch upon some of the vital and
specific factors contributing to academic
downfall, the university may lose its status in
the American Association.
Could a program with such a result be cal
led economical?

THE HAMMER AND SICKLE
Dimitri Manuilsky, delegate on the executive committee of
the communist Internationale, announced yesterday that com
munist volunteers from 53 nations had gone to the aid of the
loyalists in the Spanish civil war. lie heralded the creation

of the communsit movement,
It was also announced that the
communist party had an aggregate
membership of over 2,000,000 per
sons outside the U. S. S. R., not
including the many thousands do
ing undercover work for the party
or those who have been sentenced
to prisons or concentration camps
in the fascists states.
Manuilsky contended further
that British interests were about
to sacrifice French possessions to
satisfy Italian claims In the Med
iterranean regions, hoping to so
weaken the ties of the Berlin
Rome axis. He claimed that Hit
ler's power in the German Reich
would be destroyed if the "British
encouraged" German plot on Rus
sian territories actually come to
pass.
ON THE SPANISH
FRONT
General Miaja, head of the de
fense council regime, is reported
ready to sue for an immediate
peace to forestall Franco's expec
ted attack upon the virtually help
less Madrid populace. The loyalist
government announced that the
communist revolt of the past
week, aimed at the overthrow of
the government's capitulation pol
icies iiau oeen removed from civil
positions to expedite the peace.
'DRANG NACH OSTEN'
With peace appearing imminent
in Spain, Germany again plans a
march to the east so causing new
international consternation. Dr.
Joseph Tiso, deposed Slovak min
ister on a visit to Hitler, was re
ceived with all the honors usually
accorded to the head of an inde
pendent state.
The Slovaks are agitating for
their own complete autonomy
with the dismembered CzecheV
Slavakian state. Slovaks and Ger
man minorities are attacking the
Syrovy government in much the
same manner as was followed in y
the Sudeten crises of last Sep
tember. Exactly one year to the day
from the German march to the
southeast, tension is reported
high, with many border clashes
stimulating fears of the further
expansion of German power, pol
itical and economic.
The meeting of the French
club, tomorrow evening at 7:30
o'clock in Union parlors A and B,
will commemorate the 150th an
niversary of the French revolution,
and Prof. Jean Tilche of the
romance languages department
will speak on the revolution.
Robert Sandberg, sophomore, will
discuss "The American Point of
View of the French Revolution."
Sandberg will also discuss the
American Constitution, which has
its 150th anniversary this year.
French music will close the pro
