Mr. Brownell didn't
say it but
Do mounting government costs
carry a double threat for
university sources of revenue?
Two basic ideas occupied the Charter Day
speech of Herbert Erownell in the Coliseum yester
daytwo ideas which bear an interesting relation
ship to one another:
1. Outside financial support from sources
such as alumni is needed by this university and
others like it if they are to maintain their tradi
tional positions of importance.
2. The country is faced today with the great
prcblem of financing the vast structure of so
cial legislation built up in the past few years.
Altho Mr. Brownell did not say so, these two fi
nancial problems instead of merely representing a
similar trend seem more like a pair of crossed ar
rows with educational institutions the uncomfort
able objects of their sharpened ends.
Mr. Drownell warned his audience that recent
governmental social legislation by necessity has
placed a ceiling on the share of tax money alloc
able to the development of higher education. At the
same time, he said, sources of increased revenue
must be found to finance this new legislation. But
where does the university come in? Seemingly it
doesn't No longer can it count on tax money to
carry on it3 work and less and less will alumni and
philanthropists be able to make large monetary
gifts as more and more new taxes, levied to finance
expanding government activities, eat away at their
fortunes.
SaiJ Mr. Brownell: 'This group (university stu
dents and alumni), more than any other, will be re
quired under the pressure of recent changes, to ex
pend more of its thought and energy in participat
ing in the management and direction of newly cre
ated governmental functions."
And echoing in our ears is another voice
whkh says: "This group, more than any other,
will be required under the pressure of recent
changes, to expend mere of its monetary income
and saving in participating in the financing of
newly created governmental functions." For
by and large it stands.to reason that university
graduates are the most successful figures in
contemporary life and hold the greatest share
of the good things. Consequently they are the
ones likely to be hit the hardest by increased
taxation.
We do not mean to take an alarmist view of the
situation there is no Immediate danger of the
United States becoming a proletarian state. Nev
ertheless, there Is a definite trend away from the
amassing of large fortunes, and in the years to
come there will be fewer men like Rockefeller and
Harkncss to further the cause of education thru pri
vate endowment
THE MAGNIFICENT GIFT
f 75,000, announced by the University Founda
tion from a donor whose beneficent spirit it
magnified by his modest wish to rema'.t anony
mous, might appear to contradict this, but even
more It seems to Indicate that university would
have done well to have set up the Foundation
sooner. As It Is, Nebraska may reap only the
concluding harvests of private donations as a
period of great Individual fortunes draws to a
close. A new economic era, based partly on o-

ROOSEVELT AND NEBRASKA
Definite evidence that President Roosevelt's
name will appear on the Nebraska democratic pri
mary ballot was made public yesterday when
Charles VV. Bryan filed petitions to this effect from
the First and Fifth congressional districts in the of
fice of the secretary of state. Petitions are also be
ing circulated in the other three congressional dis
tricts, and will doubtless be filed within the next
week. Under Nebraska law when petitions from all
the congressional districts have been filed, each one
bearing a hundred signatures, the name of the can
didate will be listed on the primary ballot.
Thus it seems that Nebraska will be one of the
states in which the democratic party will have an
opportunity to voice its opinion on the third term
question. It is rumored that the movement in Ne
braska was undertaken to test the presidential pop-
ularity in the prairie states.
As yet no other candidates have filed for a place
on the democratic primary ballot, but it is common
ly believed that the name of Vice President Garner
will appear. Supporters of Senator Wheeler, Mon
tana liberal, have also indicated that they may seek
a referendum on his popularity within the state, but
Wheeler probably will make no aggressive cam
paign if the president countenances movements to
place him in line for a third term.
THAT'S WHAT HE SAYS, ANYWAY
The German people have it on the authority of
Field Marshal Herman Goering that Germany can
not be defeated in the current war. At the same
time he insisted that in order for the German people
to be "firm and stong, it must draw strength from
the soil to make it invincible." In other words,
much of the success of the war will depend upon
the German farmer providing for the belly upon
which armies traditionally crawl.
We may be inclined to disagree with Goering's
basic assertion as to the invincibility of the German
might but there is an element of truth in what the
marshal says. Pointing to the food reserves which
the reich possesses, Goering indicates the impossi
bility of a short war. Apparently the allies would
do well to consider this. During the World war it
was rather widely accepted that the economic sys
tems of the belligerent powers would crack at a
very early date. That this failed to happen was
patent. Neither is it to be expected that in the
present conflict the breakup of any of the powers
will result at an early date. Watchful waiting must
be the policy adopted.
Yet in the field marshal's speech one can detect
a note of uneasiness. "We do not have too much
(of food)" he says, while urging farmers to redou
ble their efforts for the coming year. This is but a
logical recognition of the effect which the English
blockade must eventually have. In a state in which
belts have been tightened for several consecutive
years, the problem of food not only becomes acute,
but also is turned into one of the most crrective
weapons of war.
What's My Name?
Primarily, I am the athletic type. I am a senior
in Teachers college, stand C'l", weigh 186 pounds.
I graduated from Scottsbluff high school three
years ago, pledged Alpha Tau Omega and imme
diately tossed by freshman hat into the football
ring. Since (hat first year, I have been a regular
Jon s boy, playing half-back my sophomore year
and quarterback last season. A member of the
"N" club, I am its stTgeant-of-arms. I have long
been an advocate of sock-ology; I first put on the
gloves at the tender age of 10. Since then, I have
won four AAU tournaments and light-heavy and
heavy-weight National Guard championships.. My
last tangle was in the Golden Gloves tournament
in Omaha. What's my name?

cial conscience, partly on nationalistic ambition,
already has a firm grip on European nations
and appears to be tightening around the United
States. And that era does not appear to hofd
the brightest of promises for educational en
dowment from either public or private mone
tary appropriations.
