THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
ZOOLOGICAL NOTE.
A chum of ours that was as
signed to cover the installation of
the great Ringling Brothers Bar
num and Bailey Circus (that will
cost them six tickets) strolled into
Madison Square Garden wondering
how on earth he'd get any kind
of a story on theevent. He'd done
all this before. He wanted to do
something new.
He was sitting there sad and
silent, watching the animals being
carted into the place. He took a
deep breath. Oh, to roam the jun
gles. It must have been spring
fever.
Well, he cocked his eyes by
chance to starboard and there
moseying over toward him was
the most outlandish leopard you
ever saw, jungle or no jungle. The
animal looked positively ferocious.
Our chum is an intrepid Texan
and it grieves us to report that
he ran like sixty, the leopard in
pursuit. In fact the disgusting an
imal bounded out ahead of him,
pivoted like a broken field runner
and stood posted beside a Vermil
lion box.
What our friend then did, shades
of the toreadors, was to pick up a
piece of canvas. If he were to die,
he'd die like a great bull-fighter.
"Come on," he invited the speck
led one. "Come on."
The leopard looked powerful
bored, as we say in Texas. She
yawned.
They toted 'em both away three
minutes later, man and beast.
THE MAN ON THE FLYING
TRAPEZE.
We bumped into William Saro
yan, the exspokesman of the
masses, who lives in a lordly ho
tel and eats his breakfasts at an
automat, where fifty cents will
feed even a brace of wrestlers.
Mr. Saroyan was in an expan
sive mood:
"Say," quoth he, 'been around to
see my play yet."
We let him know we'd seen
"The Time of Your Life" and
found it unforgettable. And what
did he think about his own play.
"Well, in a won!," says he,
downing a spoonful of farina, "the
play's a classic. They'll be go
ing it five hundred years from
now."
Then Mr. Saroyan excused him
self to put a nickel in the slot and
jet himself some coffee.
School superintendents want
legal guarantees, says Scott
Longer protection in office is administrator's aim
according to national study in school board journal
School superintendents the coun- the tenure preferences of super
try over "are almost unanimous intendents, but age and length of

C. W. Scott of the department of
school administration in a leading
article in the American School
Board Journal.
"A small majority favor indefi

service and good behavior, and al
most the entire remainder prefer

National scope.
Dr. Scott has recently finished
a national study, with the assist
ance of B. J. Klasek, superintend
ent of the Wilber schools, to learn
how school administrators them
selves feel about the problem. The
study was based upon returns
from a sample of SfiO municipali
ties. States were represented
roughly according to their munici
pality population. Of the superin
tendents canvassed, 51.4 percent
supplied the desired information.
Dr. Scott points out that for
many years school administration
theory held that superintendents
should have some security but
that they should not have Indefi
nite tenure. Recent years, how
ever, have witnessed a growing
sentiment in favor of according
mperintendents the same type of
job protection that teachers en
joy who serve under indefinite
teacher tenure laws.

study some outstanding conclu-

Collitch kids like film shorts
March of Time and Benchley
By Bob Aldrich.
Movie theater owners say that
college kids are the hardest to
please of any of the 80 million
customers who plunk down their
quarters at the boxoffice weekly.
The collegians are not the least
bit bashful about expressing their
opinion when a picture does not
meet their approval. On the other
hand, when a film pleases them
their support is vigorous and Ijv.d.

Advantages.
Proponents of indefinite tenure
feel it would afford them needed
protection, improve relationships
between boards and superintend
ents, promote continuity of ad
ministrative policies and desirable
relationships between school heads
and their faculties.
Opponents of indefinite tenore
believe it would serve to promote
and retain inefficient persons as
