amendment was still part of the
constitution, one often hears the
comment about the excessive in
dulgence of Joe College. Perhaps
the inhabitants of American cam
puses are biased about themselves,
but a rather large majority of
them holds that college students
as a whole should not be classed
with those who habitually go over
the line. The country wide poll
taken for the NEBRASKAN and
other member publications, points
out that 65.2 percent are of the
opinion that students are moder

In asking, "Do you ever drink?"
interviewers for the surveys meant
any kind of indulgence in alco

With Dean W. W. Burr of the
Ag college, the Chancellor and
Mr. Gunderson told members of
the committee that an $18,000 Ag
extension cut would result In a

This loss is explained by the fact
that in this particular fund, the
federal government matches the
state allotments dollar for dollar.
In the governor's budget, the
fund for the operation and main
tenance of the University hospital
In Omaha was cut by $2-l,0m. Ac
