two DAILY NEBRASKAN WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, 1939 Sdnnaflemut IPanllse To the Editor: Mouthings about the University of Nebraska stand with the state legislature should not go unan swered by the Daily Nebraskan, N. U.'s official student newspaper. Specifically, a Lincoln man, per turbed over the future of the Corn husker athletic realm, addressed a sports editor with the hint that Chancellor Boucher was "fixing" Nebraska's athletics the same way he "fixed" Chicago's. He referred to the legislature's action in enact ing a bill giving the board of re gents power to fix admission re quirements as upping the mini mum scholastic average from 60 to 70. To this Lincolnite obviously a zealous N. U. sports fan this would be virtually sacreligious, this tampeiing with athletes, be cause (he felt) a minimum grade of 70 was too much to except of an athlete. To correct an erroneous pre sumption, the legislature, the re cents, and the chancellor have as yet done nothing specifically re garding this new admission power. There is no such university rule that requires students, including athletes, to maintain a 70 aver age. The sports editor who received the gripe nutshelled the situation by remarking, "...if a football player or sprinter or snare drum mer cannot make 70 he doesn't de serve to stay in school.' If Nebraska ever had a chan cellor who gave hearty support to the "character building" aspects of football and other sports, his enthusiasm is eclipsed by that of Chancellor Boucher. To blame Chancellor Boucher for the de -emphasis and subse quent decline of Chicago athletics ioid to intimate that his "id.-as" will do the same to Nebraska's Kthletics border on the ridiculous. The football fortunes of a univer sity rise and fall no matter what the administrative policies are, unless, of course, some popular Athlete stumbles over an academic hurdle. Without deviating from his "Ne braska plan," Chancellor Boucher will not be throwing any jnonkey wrenches in the athletic plant's machinery. If he does start tinker ing, rest assured there will be food reason for it. Morris J. Lipp. Wirre- and has long demanded technically trained social workers."

H. Brokaw told tig college students and faculty at convocation yesterday morning celebrating the 25th birthday an niversary of the service. Tracing the progress of the services work up the years from May 8, 1914, Brokaw sounded a challenge to the student audience to carry the ideals built in the extension division to the commu nity and job to be occupied in the years to come. "You should carry with you the idea of making your community a better place to live, and if we continue to go forward in extension work, we will build the right kind of foundation." Keim traces progress. Dr. F. D. Keim, head of the agronomy department and a for mer extension worker, traced the progress ag college has made in experimental work to help Ne braska farmers, pointing out that nearly every form of industry has some connection with agriculture. Telling of the women's part in the 25 year stride forward, Mrs. W. W. Burr, wife of ag college Dean Burr, explained the old farm er's institutes, forerunners of the present day system. State 4-H Club Leader L. I. Frisbe pointed out the benefits that 4-H work has brought to the rural young people of Nebraska, and how it has ex panded as a part of extension work. J. F. Lawrence, extension marketing specialist, presided over the convocation. Offices- votes cast for Helen Abel. First and second among the arts candi dates were Beth Howley, Liberal favorite, and Betty Meyer. Despite the pledges of the coun cD to keep the election on a honest plane, and the work of faculty men at the polls, Mr. Lantz de clared that several and in some cases serious complaints of mul tiple balloting and intimidation of voters came to his ears. In the brief span of time remaining be tween the report and the close of the poles, the advisor explained "no evidence could be uncovered regarded the authenticy of these reports." With a surprisingly large num ber of barbs voting and declaring their preference for either the Progressive or Liberal party, the preference ballot showed a vote of 536 male Progressives, 513 Liber als and 218 barbs. As the confusion thinned at the polling places about 4 o'clock, Lantz with a staff of council and representative liberal men and women began to count ballots. Checking all ballots the second and third time, council men feel sure that no mistakes could have been made. Knight returned.

Law rence Void of the Nebraska college of law, compares with either foot ball or golf. Likening the rules of law to football and golfing rules, he explains that the results which are achieved in the end depend upon the skill with which they are used. This bit of logic Professor Void passes on to his law students each year at examination time.

But effective use of these tools, he says, requires in addition, proficiency both in legal analysis and in legal reasoning. In comparing law with sports, Professor Void says: "Football proficiency is not rated by an ex amination upon the football rules, but by the final scores achieved in the contests, where the rules are brought into application while the game is played. Similarly, in the game of golf, a good set of clubs is important to the making of a good score; but after all, the score depends largely on the skill with which the clubs are used in the various situations that are en countered on the course."
