.Veterans Set
Academic
Standards
Veterans arc sotting new stand
ard of academic performance,
Con. Omar Bradley, administrator
of veterans affairs, told the As
sociiiion of American Colleges at
then recent meeting.
Jl. siid, "A recent study made
at the University of Wisconsin in
dn.tN's that veterans have made
btt'ii grades than non-veterans;
that it.o married ones have earned
bet 'or marks than those single;
and that the veterans with chil
dren have made the best grades of
all."
High Quality
General Bradley said that vet
erans are demanding a higher
qu.iiitv of instruction. "Some of
them," he added, "have expressed
disappointment at the teaching
they have received. I am not in
a pnMtion to know whether or not
their criticism is justified, but they
are mature students and their
opinions are worthy of considera
tion." Pointing out that housing for
stiMonis and faculty members is
still .no of the bigcest headaches
of college administrators, the gen
eral said, "The veteran realizes
that the unprecedented enroll
ments have complicated the hous
ing problem, but soon they will
rn;h;ly expect something better
than 'emergency housing. "
Investment
Going to college is a serious
business for the veteran, accord
ins to the director of veterans
affairs. Ho stated, "The veteran
is investing his time and money in
his education. He may be post
poning marriage or delaying his
entry into business or the indus

.Notice to Velcrans
There has been some misun
derstanding on the part of a
veterans as to the obtain
ing of books or of non-expend-able
supplies more than once.
May we call attention to them
No. 7 on the reverse side of the
purchase authorization which
tates, "You may not purchase
on your veterans' account the
s;'me item twice." For ex
ample, a book obtained by a
veteran the first semester, and
used during a subsequent se
mester in another course, may
riot be obtained again. Books
;,nd non-expendable suppl.es
that are lost, stolen, mutilated
or disposed of will not be re
placed at government expense.
During the rush of supplying
nooks to several thousand stu
dents the first of the se
mester, it is inevitable that
some veterans may have had
a book or certain supplies re
issued to them. In such cases
you would be doing yourself
and the university a favor by
returning such items to the
store at once. Your veteran's
account will be credited Ihe
proper amount and it will not
be necessary later to ask you to
rcturn the unauthorized items.

Food Bill Rise
Forces Crib's
Uih
Pri
;e in
ices
The second semester rise in food
prices in the Corn Crib was un
avoidable, Fatricia Lahr, Student
Union director, explained Wed
nesday, because of the general
rise in food costs.
Prices of sandwiches, ham
burgers, malts, milkshakes, sodas,
and sundaes have been raised five
cents over last semester's prices.
Citing percentage increases over
Nov. '45, Miss Lahr pointed out
that the price of syrups, used in
making malts, milkshakes and
sundaes, has risen 327, ham
burger 75, roast beef 60, and
milk 50. "It is obvious that the
Student Union would not raise
prices unless forced to do so by
rising costs. Against this bom
bardment of costs we arc no
longer able to hold our price line
and break even," she declared.
Business Jump.
Although the volume of busi
ness has increased up to 100 in
some departments, this has not
been sufficient to absorb the ris
ing costs.
The Student Union food depart
ment is a non-profit organization.
It is not subsidized by student
fees, which go to the building
fund, including maintenance,
salaries, activities, insurance, and
retirement of the debt on the
building.
"If ihe cost of food drops within
the next six months and the Stu
dent Union can make up its losses,
we will reconsider our prices. We
are not interested in becoming a
commercial restaurant and want
to give the student every advant
age in our service," Miss Lahr
said.

Dr. Fellman
Discusses
State Power
The steady growth of federal
power is simply a parallel to the
trend toward more government at
all levels, David Fellman. profes
sor of political science, told a Ne
braska Home Economics associa
tion convention Tuesday.
Addressing the convention in a
meeting on the Ag campus. Pro
fessor Fellman said that, despite
the trend toward more power in
the national government, states
are surviving as vital, important
units of government.
The increase in federal power
has not been at the expense of
the states, he continued. Those
who seek refuge in states' rights
as a bulwark against national
power would just as readily turn
to the national government for
protection against the states if the
latter should seek to impose the
same tax and regulatory meas
ures, Professor Fellman pointed
out.
Nationalization.
Maintaining that the growth of
federalism cannot bo ascribed to
the evil designs of power-hungry
men. Professor Fellman attributed
that growth to the fact that the
basic elements of the American
community have become nation
alized. "In the measure that a na
tion has developed with national
needs, national action has become
inescapable," he told his audience.
Then Professor Fellman de
scribed the price of federalism,
It has led to serious interference
with the nation's economic life
through the erection of trouble
some trade barriers. Fellman said.
"Federalism has had the result of
giving the country too many laws
and too many variations of laws
on the same subjects. It has led
to endless conflicts of jurisdiction
at all levels of Government," the
convention was told.
Forecast at Work.
However, Professor Fellman
warned, "there are many forces
at work in this country which, if
used effectively, may set limits
on centralisation. or one thing.
the states may and do co-operate
with the national government on
joint administration. Furthermore,
the position of the slates rests
upon the great strengtn or tne
theory and tradition of decentral
ized government; for vigorous lo
cal government is among the old
est and most cherished traditions
of the American people."
