commodate itself to the appropriations.
That the caliber of instruction depends largely upon tho
funds available for that instruction is self evident, for men can
not live without food, and institutions cannot thrive without
funds. Overty large classes without proper equipment can never
serve effectively as media of education.
That a steady increase in enrolment over a period of years
calls either for an increase in funds or for a decline in the service
rendered likewise cannot be denied.
Yet with an increase in enrolment of 79 percent over the
last twenty years, appropriations today 'are lower than they were

State appropriations may be
distributed more wisely this
session than ever before. At the
instigation of Senator Callan,
the appropriations committee
has been organized into three
sub-committees. One deals with
the capitol building and state
offices in it; a second will in
vestigate the needs of the state's
several educational institutions
and the third is concerned with

Senator Callan concerning Ui
university:
"Formerly the board of re
gents was allotted only an hour
and a half in committee hearing
to present and explain the re
quests of the university. By go

quiries and talking Informally to
university officials, we'll have a
truer picture of university
needs."

Nor is our picture brightened by the knowledge that the
University of Minnesota is also complaining about being in a
bad way. Their complaints that proper education cannot be given
on their present per student expenditure of $174, appears sig
nificant when compared to our $144, and with the realization
that not once since 1931 has our ratio gone over that amount.
If this trend is permanent; if no provision for depreciation of commission and substitute for
our equipment is made; and if the funds for instructional use con
tinue to become more and more scarce, ultimately the star of edu
cation must grow dimmer in this state.

Two solutions to the problem are possible. Both aim at an In
crease in the allotment per student. On the one hand we could in
crease the appropriations to a point compatible with the registra
tion we now have. On the other hand we can increase the fees and
raise the entrance requirements and thereby cut down the enrol
ment to a point where adequate training can be given-with the ap
propriations we have.
This latter solution is essentially what the university is be
ing compelled to do. Eventually If carried far enough, it should
solve the problem. But Its solution will be at the expense of mak
ing this a rich man's college, of reducing the number that may
enjoy the prlvelege of a higher education, and through reducing
the number coming from the more distant quarters of the state
will center the enrolment In Lincoln and Omaha.
What can be done is a problem in itself. That solution we leave
to men more qualified than we to settle questions of this kind.
From an academic standpoint, however, the trends are interesting.
And they leave us wondering what the ultimate outcome

mission that is the theme of Sen
ator Lambert's L. B. 10, one he
considers most vital to the state.
Not only would the bill change
the name of the regulatory body
but it would also provide for
election of the members by con
gressional districts instead of
from the state at large. When
the railway commission was
first established, its only func
tion was to regulate railroads.
But today it has jurisdiction
over all common carriers and all
communication and power utilities.
Senator Lambert believes that a
public utility commission would
more appropriately name the
duties of the body.
Questioned as to the reason
for the proposed change in elec
tion procedure, the senator re
plied: "It would be more fair
to the whole state. With elec
tion from the state at large,
only the eastern section gains
representation."
