"Woof!"
That startling statement comes
from one of the most prominent
figures on the campus, an Individ
ual whose clear thinking and pro
found opinions have never been
doubted.
He Is Professor Prince, doctor of
caninology, sometimes known as
"the Beta dawg," a recognized au
thority on all matters confronting
the dog world. His attitude of si
lence and aloofness have given rise
to legends of his deep wisdom and
Understanding.
It was not without some hesita
tion that we approached this
bulky, powerful fellow with the
long hair and deep, sad eyes of
the natural color. We tiptoed soft
ly lest we disturb the train of his
thought.
We quivered in terror as his
great voice rumbled:
"What's on yer mind, bud?"
Prof of the week.
We thought fast. "We'd like to
interview you for the Prof of the
Week," we stammered.
"Well, I'll be doggoned," he said.
"Where were you born, doctor?"
we began.
"I was born in the Swiss alps,"
he said. "Yo-de-lay-he-ho! My
old man used to go around in the
snow with a barrel of whiskey un
der his chin and I came right be
hind with a chaser."
An aviator friend of mine, an
air-dale, told me I ought to go to
college. I'd heard Nebraska was
the place to bone up on knowl
edge. So I quit my job on the
bulldog edition of a local paper
and kept doggedly on the road east
until I got to Nebraska, and Oie
nicest trees I've ever seen. As
rxon as I got here a bunch of,
guys jumped on me and started
telling me I ought to be in a fra
ternity." '"It'i a dog's Mfe,' they said,
and you'll love th chow.' "
Off to scno!.
"So I pledged and started at
tending classes. At first, I aroused
some resentment and some of the
students, the dogs, tried to have
me thrown out. But my custom of
never saying a word made the
teachers think I must be smart as
a whippet. The first thing I knew
they made me a Master of Dog
ology with a chance to do research
In tree surgery, especially dog
wood." "Yes," he sighed, "I guess I'm
Just a scholar at heart. Give me a
book, a pipe, and a can of Ken-L-ration
and I'm hapy as a dog."
"Have you any hobbies?" we In
quired. "Yees, I like to compose dog
gerel in my spare time and I
often go hunting for prairie dogs."
"When these dog days come on,
I sometimes get restless. I long
to go out west and hope dogies
or catch dogfish. But altogether
I'm quite contented. At least I'm
free of the dogcatchers who once
dogged me all over dogdom."
"What is your opinion of the
students on the campus?" we
questioned.
A low down opinion.
"I'm glad you asked me that,"
he replied. "My opinion of the stu
dents is so low that it couldn't be
quoted without starting a dog
fight. My personal opinion is that
they should give the university to
the dogs and see what they can
do with it. After all, why should
we docs be denied the advantages
of higher education? No wonder
no ninny of us wind up in tne ang

pound. The trouble with college
teaching is that it's too dogmatic."
"What do you think of the fu
ture of America?" we asked.
"When I think of what this
country's coming to, I'm too
scared to growl. In fact, I'm filled
with terrier. Every time I read
the morning paper I feel I want
to flea. The whole thing is a sad,
sad tail and I shudder to think
what's happening to the woof and
warp of our character. I'd like to
put a muzzle on some of these
politicians. As far as I'm con
cerned, they're all in the dog
house.
He warns us.
"Well, we said, 'maybe we had
better be running along. We don't
want to keep you from your work
whatever that is."
"Well, don't bark your shin on
the door as you go out," Prof.
Prince warned us.
"Wrhat teaching methods do you
use in the classroom?" we wanted
to know before leaving.
"I haven't any methods and
that's what makes me so popular
with the stuudents," Dr. Prince
replied. "In fact, half the time I
don't even show up for classes. In
the classroom, the students can
curl up and sleep during my lec
tures if they've a mind to and I
won't raise a paw to stop them.
During exams they can use all the
crib notes they can bring along.
As a matter of fact, I keep a sup
ply of crib notes handy for those
who forget to bring them.
"I have been called a bad In
fluence on the younger genera
tion. My enemies are barking up
the wrong tree. I m just a dog
goned fine fellow and any word to
the contrary is so much dogmeat."

munisUc party of America for 12
years and that during the inter
vening years he has used the pres
tige and power of his office to
spread communistic doctrines both
in the classroom and thru his
writing. During an interview with
Dean LeRossignal in which he said
he said he saw "red" when he
heard the accusations, the DAILY
reporter noticed five books on
communism on his shelf, the most
prominent of which was "Coramu
nistlc Socialism." LeRossignal
himself has written and published
two books which were supposedly

forms of state but which on furth

The Investigators' report
claimed that Swayzee was most
active in promoting communistic
theories in hu labor and person'

Perhaps most revealing was the
fact that in a course which is sup
posed to Btudy philosophy as a
whole, WerkmeUter has spent the
entire semester teaching the the

The report stated that Gregory
had the best opportunity to strike
vitally in his capacity as special
advisor to freshmen. It is to Greg
ory that all incoming freshmen go
for advice. His office is filled
with complete reports on every
student in school and from these
reports, the officers claim that
Gregory has made charts and re

leave of absence effective Sept. 1.
Professor Lyman will devote
the time to a complete study and
observation of the sex life of the
earthworm.
Said Professor Lyman, "I feel
that there has been for a long time
a deep need for a study of this
kind, and I am only too happy to
be the person who contributes this
great boon to humanity."

According to the reports, one of
the mediums of propaganda that
the group intended to use is this
year's annual. It was indicated
that Orval Hager, editor, and
Irvin Sherman, business managers
each received "rake-offs" for
printing material of a communis

division sheets are red.
The four professors will be
called before the Dies Committee
within the next month and charges
will be pressed at that time. Uni

would take no action until they

in the "over-indulgent's" removal
from the building.
No more beer cans.
One observing student, when he
learned of the change, said, "Per
haps the campus will now be less
cluttered up with beer cans." An
other waa heard to say, "Why
not?"
It was brought to light by a
member of the faculty that "other
campuses, namely Wisconsin for
one, have installed bars and no
dire results were noticed, so why
not Nebraska?"
Work on the bar will start in
the near future and it is hoped
that the bar will be open by Ivy
