Does the Union deserve
Flophouse Manners?
Take a look around
In the best flophouses, Sluggo Tuffernell can
push his hat back on his head, plant his feet on
the battered piano, expectorate with superb indis
crimination, and generally make himself comfort
able in his own crude sort of way without so much
as having an eyebrow hoisted on him. In the Union
lounge, there isn't any piano and spit is still pre
served as a horrid word, but by and large Sluggo
could sit there all day and strain his versatility to
the breaking point without looking conspicuous
among most of the students resting therein.
Now no one wants the students to stop using the
Union, and no one wants them to treat it as though
it were made of spun glass that would snap if you
looked at it too hard. But K can be used without
being abused. It is quite possible to sit comfortably
in the lounge without putting two dirty feet on the
upholstery or scratching the polished surface of a
table with the heels of one's shoes. One can rest
even more comfortably if he doesn't rest his back
on the seat cushion of a chair and point his legs
upwards on the chair back than if he does. We
know all this because we tried it.
Of twelve smoking stands jepaired during
Christmas vacation and placed in the lounge, only
four are still usable. The other eight have had their
tops broken off by the weight of heavy feet resting
on them. At the same time, one can walk into the
lounge any time and see students sitting within
arm's length of an ashtray dumping their cigarette
ashes on the carpet.
Equally important with the damage to Union
property which alt of this lack of manners a ces
sions it the effect it has on visitors. To walk into
the lounge and see university students sitting there
in all conceivable positions without regard for mod
esty, appearance, or common sense is not to give
anyone a very good impression of what university
students are like. Tock hands are doubtless very
nice people, but It isnt necessary to suffer a col
lege education to acquire the manners of one.
The whole matter comes down to this: it is not
logical to destroy that which belongs to you and
which you enjoy. The Union belongs to the students
ami certainly they enjoy using it. But Just as cer
tainly the life of the building and its furnishings
is cut down by students who refuse to exercise any
care in their enjoyment of it Every time the Union
management most repair furniture and replace
equipment, it must take money that otherwise would
go for additional equipment and expansion of the
Union program of dances, movies, and student en
tertainment. The next time you are in the lounge, look around
you and decide what sort of impression a visitor
would gain from glancing in and dont forget to
include yourself. The Union is nothing less than a
fine private clb of which students are privileged
members, an; our actions should be up to our surroundings.

FINLAND'S FATE.
Today both the Finnish and the soviet govern
ments acknowledge that peace negotiations are
underw ay to end the three months war existing be
tween them. The irony of the situation is that there
is some possibility of Finland winning the war but
losing the peace, and if this is true there is every
likelihood that her "big sisters" of the European
democratic block have thrown away their chance
to strike a fatal blow at the dictatorships.
Considering the diplomatic consequences of a pos
sible peace at this time between Finland and Rus
sia, it is not hard to perceive that the stubborn Finn
ish resistance is being felt by the soviet troops and
that the Soviets are willing to recognize the exist
ing government of Finland instead of their own
people's government which they have protected be
hind the Russian lines. But the ultimate results are
far more significant.
Briefly, these results foretell a possible decad
ence of the democracies. It relieves both Russia and
Germany, considering the two to be allies, of keep
ing fire on two fronts. It isolates Sweden and Nor
way from the allies. Furthermore, it leads other
small neutrals of Europe to fall into line behind
Germany and Russia, not England and France who
will be completely out of touch with their eastern
ally Turkey if Mussolini casts his lot with Hitler.
Sweden has forbidden the allies to send aid to
Finland in small quantities. This is understandable
since Scandinavia threatens to become the battle
ground of Europe unless adequate supplies and mu
nitions are sent to block the Russians where they
now stand. When Finland goes all chance of extend
ing the war is gone, from the allied point of view.

Lost and Found
service inadequate?
Dear Editor:
John Stuart had lost his new history book. For
several days he made no efforts to recover his text
because he thought it would be returned to him,
since he had his name, telephone number, and ad
dress on the fly-leaf in ink plus this comment: "If
this book is lost, owner will reward finder if book
is returned." After a week had gone by, and the
book still didn"t show up, Stuart decided to hunt
for it Since he was quite sure he had left the text
in one of his classrooms, but couldn't remember
which one, he looked up the janitors in all the build
ings in which he had classes. None of the janitors
could remember seeing that particular book but in
formed him that all lost articles were turned over
to the lost and found department in the west sta
dium. After receiving directions several times,
Stuart was at last able to locate said department
and get back his history book.
The name, address, and telephone number were
in the book, yet neither the man who ran the lost
and found department, the janitors, or anyone else
who handled the lost property notified Stuart where
it was. Even the promise of reward on the fly-leaf
failed to bring results. Not only is the lost and
found department too irresponsible, but the entire
system is deplorable.
Can the lost and found department be made
more useful to students for whose benefit it was
started? The answer is yea. First, move the depart
ment to a room In the Student Union or some other
building handy to the students. Once established,
the department would do well to advertise its new
location and office hours In the student newspaper
for about a week for the benefit of students that
it is serving. Because of the small amount of busi
ness, the department wouldn't necessarily be open
all the time. Office hours might be from three to
six in the afternoon with an N. T. A. student in
charge.
Tm Remedy.
The department could pay 25 cents for each lost
article turned in except those collected by the jani
tors of the various buildings. This would encourage
students to bring in what they nave found. To keep
the lost and found department from showing a loss,
25 cents would also be charged each person who
called for his lost property. To keep the shelves
from overflowing, any unclaimed articles would be
sold at the end of the year to a second hand man
or through other channels for a portion of the value
of the article. And finally, it should be the policy
of the department for the N. T. A. student In charge
to notify the people whose articles have their names
on them to call for their property.

Patterson article tells
university traditions
Traditions of the university,
campus news of the last month,
and news of the alumni from all
corners of the earth are discussed
in the March issue of Nebraska
Alumnus which appeared yester
day.
University traditions and cus
toms are the subject of sn article
by Dr. Charles H. Patterson, as
sociate professor of philosophy.
Dr. Patterson discusses the bene
fits to be obtained from the uni
versity in athletics and social life,
and also the ideals and loyalties
which students will gain. The phil
osopher says that since the uni
versity is established and main
tained for the best interests of the
state which supports it, it is the
obligntion of the studens in he
universiy to further the interests
of the state.
"A Faculty Notebook."
Condensed from the DAILY is
an account of important and
amusing campus events of the
month.
"A Faculty Notebook" contains
a report of the faculty happening?
during the month, and reports of
experiments carried on by the
faculty.
From such widespread states as
California and New York come
reports of alumni associations and
their work.
The college of agriculture has
a special article devoted to its
work, and explanation of its op
eration. The front page of the Alumnus
is a picture of a typical Nebraska
class room, with students asleep,
amused, and one or two in concentration.
