OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS.
Two scientists made a profound appeal
for an increased university appropriation a
few days ao. Unwittingly they displayed
without words but, ly concrete example, the
truth that money wisely spent for education
is money economically spent. Yet the Univer
sity of Nebraska's dire need for funds, and the
proposals under consideration by the state leg
islature were undoubtedly among those ob
jects most distant from their minds.
The two champions of our cause were
Dupout scientists; their concrete example, a
pair of women's sheer stockings; their be
lief, that they have discovered a product
that may revolutionize industry and life in
the middle west. These two men are middle
westerners themselves. They appreciate
only too well the plight of the farmer who
in many parts of this country has not had
a crop for eight years.
Hut they also appreciate the modern fact
1 hat the university of a state owes more to the
taxpayers than the mere curric.ular instruction
of its youth. The university as the intellectual
and educational center of the state, has a duty
to perform toward advancing everything
which will result in the betterment of the lives
and livelihoods of the people.
The university has already realized and
accepted this additional task. A conference
has been arranged on the campus to discuss .
one of the state's major problems transpor
tation. Despite the allotted sum of money,
ridiculously petty in the face of the impor-'
tance of both the issue and the people in
volved, the conference has been masterfully
arranged and will probably be equally suc
cessful. No amount of arranging and mas
terful administrating, however, can provide
the materials for exhaustive research. That
takes money.
The two men who have discovered the
substance that they believe will ultimately re
place the work of the ancient silkworm, are of
the opinion that it can be manufactured from
cellulose. That is why they believe this dis
covery may change the map of the world, for
as they say:
"What is more natural than that indus
try should grow up where there is a vast
supply. All agricultural waste products and
many now unheard of crops will provide it.
If Nebraska wants to speed the chemical
miracle, it had better provide money for
research. Every dollar so invested will
bring back a good many dollars."
. , If what these scientists declare is true, the
state of Nebraska cannot afford a refusal to
provide for carrying ou additional research
right here where it is of such vital importance.
Yet without the backing of the state, it is im
possible for the university to carry on alone
when there are insufficient funds for even
adequate accomplishment of the factual dis
semination process.
In their budget proposal the board of
regents requested additional funds for re
search work. Research has ceased to be
an abstract term representing intangible
work. Every member of the legislature and
every citizen of the state can realize and
appreciate what this research can mean to
the future of the state and of their respec
tive communities. Is it economical in any
meaning of the word to pinch the few pen
nies, expenditure of which, might produce
millions.

In the nine years since 1930,
graduate college enrollment in the
U. S. has leaped from 47,255 to
nearly 79,000, and American col

18,000 masters' degrees a year.
For many centuries there were
but three generally recognized '
professions theology, medicine
and law. Today there are 18 or

Dormitories improving.
Dormitories and residence halls
are now included among the prin
cipal structures on the American
campus to house approximately 30
percent of all the college students
in the U. S., says Fraternity
Month. The article described the
modern college dormitory as clean
and sanitary, a far cry from the
firetraps of the old days. "Since
1874, $54,100,000 has been Hpent
by 94 universities and colleges
alone in constructing student liv
ing quarters on their campus.

Mr. J. G. Garlock," superintendent

A cow milking contest for coeds

All the animals to be shown are
