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.

College observes 25th
anniversary of service
at special convocation
In the past 25 years, the Agri
cultural extension has laid a foun
dation for better lives among farm
men, women, boys and girls, Di
rector W. 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.

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.

Law, according to Frof. Law

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.

students that the more definite
their knowledge of the generally
accepted rules of law, the more
complete is their set of working
tools. 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."
