A
Wanted: A basis for appeal!
Another year passes, and the buildings on the engi
neering corner of the campus chalk up a few more cracks
and wrinkles in already aged and decrepit frames. And
with the passage of the year these buildings once again
drearily watch new structures planned and constructed
on other parts of the campus for social and military uses.
For the first time in many years however, the engi
neers have a chance to improve their housing conditions,
for the regents have asked the legislature for $75,000,
with which to purchase Bancroft school. And whether or
not they get the needed funds will depend upon the ap
peal the engineers can make.
As if the delapidated condition of the buildings them
selves wasn't adequate appeal. Nor the fact that buildings
have been erected on all other parts of the campus since
additions were made on the engineering buildings, almost
th oldest and by far the most delapidated structures on
the campus.
The library is to be built from donor's funds, because
the scholarly nature of a library makes it a fine memo
rial to a benevolent friend; the Student Union building
was erected because it serviced the recreational needs of
the entire student body; and now we hear that a new
armory will probably be built because of the present mili
tary emergency. These buildings are all justified because
of their appeal to certain groups and certainly nobody
would deny that they are needed additions to the univer
sity. But isn't there a similar case for the engineering
campus. The instructional staff ranks high over the en
tire nation. It has trained and sent out men who have
gone to the tops in the engineering field both within the
state and without And it does this now in buildings
greatly inferior to the buildings housing cattle and sheep
on the agricultural campus.
It does have appeal not to any particular group of
individuals; but to all those interested in technical ad
vancement, to the state whose very future depends upon
engineering control of our waterways, engineering im
provements on the Missouri and industrial expansion. And
furthermore to the legislature interested as it is in this
university as an educational institution. And the accredit
ed standing of our engineering college depends upon hous
ing now more than it ever has in the past.
These other buildings have been provided for by
special grants and by student support. Here is a case
where the legislature alone can provide the needed sums.
The amount is relatively small; the value of the build
ing to the university is great. The history of the engineer
ing college stands as an appeal. Its present cries out for
better housing and up to date equipment, its future de
pends upon the consideration given it today.
Commentorial
. from our readers
Students defend
female wrestling
Dear Editor:
In Wednesday's "rag" a letter appeared deploring a
"deplorable situation." A danger exists that "disbusting
spectacles will gain a foothold in Nebraska." Dr. A. L.
Miller has given his permission for women to wrestle in
the state of Nebraska.
We are not particularly interested in wrestling
matches, but some people are. Those who do not wish to
witness these "disbusting spectacles" of these "sideshow
muscle molls" are not compelled to attend.
It is a principle of democratic society to allow lib
erty to a group of individuals, in this case the group that
wishes to witness women's wrestling bouts, so long as
the liberty of other groups Is not encroached.
Yours respectfully,
Timothy Higgins
Chester E. Lee

By this logic, rape, murder or any other vice
should be tolerated so long as it doesn't affect us. But
such a viewpoint is ridiculous. If we are to have a
civilization at all we must have certain standards. And
possibly for the same reasons that we don't tolerate
men and women going practically naked in America
as they do in south sea islands, certain of us deplore
the entrance of women into wrestling. Ed.

Italian losses
News dispatches about Italy the past few days add
up to just one thing: II duce's position is mighty pre
carious and shows no signs of improving. Indeed, the
Italian populace now is being warned that it will have to
face "further painful losses."
After the smoke of last week's battle of the Ionian sea
had cleared away it was evident that the Italians had
suffered a serious defeat. Early reports from Rome de
clared that the British had suffered heavy damage, but a
despatch from Alexandria said that the British fleet re
turned to its base at Alexandria without a sign of injury.
At the same time the British claimed that three, poss
ibly four, of Italy's largest cruisers, and two, perhaps
three, destroyers had been sunk. In addition, they claimed
three aerial torpedo hits on a crack new Italian battle
ship, the 35,000 ton Littorio.
That the Italian position in East Africa is truly pre
carious is evident from the authorized statement of Mario
Appelius, fascist military commentator.
Appelius announced that the English forces in East
Africa numbered at least 300,000 and that aided by hordes
of savages they were advancing into Ethiopia and Eri
trea. Recent British reports concerning their East African
campaign have been rather vague, but it is known that
they are well on the way toward the Red Sea port, Mas
sua, last major objective in Eritrea, and that their west
ern columns are within 180 miles of Addis Ababa.
As the Italians are now havily handicapped by lack
of material and reenforcements, it is clear that their mili
tary position in Africa is rapidly becoming untenable.
Another dream
comes true!
At last the university is to have a central booking agency, and
the advantages of experienced and large scale enterprise will be di
rected towards securing bigger name bands for campus parties. And
what is more, the financial responsibility of the individual student and
organization sponsoring the party will be somewhat alleviated and the
terms upon which bands can be booked will be improved.
Central booking for university parties has been the slogan of
Student Councils, DAILY editors, and other campus groups for many
years. But every year fine words by these groups produced the same
negligible results. It is because of these past failures therefore that
the accomplishment of this year's Student Council and Student
Union board looms particularly large. And the new booking system
can be added to the long list of firsts secured by university organ
izations this year.
Joyce Ayers has served as an agency of this sort for the past two
parties in work if not in name. And names like Count Basie, Bob
Strong and an as yet unannounced top notcher for the Union dance
will outshine almost any band booked on this campus in many moons.
Going to Chicago moreover as Ayers is in order to make better con
tacts, it is possible that even bigger bands will play for university
parties next year.
So hats off to the Council, and best wishes to the first band booker
of Nebraska.
