EDITORIAL STAFF ICditor. Jeanne Kerrtgaa Managing Editors Mltht News Kdltor One for the Bells . . . Adverse comment on the Mueller Carillon Tower has not been great, but there are many who, like a letter-to-the-editorial writer in the Journal, feel that the $85,000 could be used to a much greater advantage. We will concede that what the University needs most at the present time is not a carillon tower. However, in consideration of the wishes of Mr. Mueller, the donor, and the architectural beauty the tower will afford the campus, one must extend the scope of his thinking beyond practical ity. It goes without saying that the Nebraska campus, as yet not distinguished for its beauty, is hampered by its lo cation squeezed as it is between the Lincoln shopping and industrial district and the railroad tracks and con sequently cannot have the advantages of spacious grounds on which to expand. Any beautification to be done 'must come from landscaping within the area (a project now un derway) and adding structures of architectural beauty. In this respect, the asset of the carillon tower can not be de nied. We refer those who say "why bother about beautifying the campus ?" to the multitude of students who are forever lamenting the "unattractive campus" situation and always comparing the U.N. campus (the loser) with other schools in the area. Migration trips never fail to produce such com ments as " . . . wish we had a campus as beautiful as theirs ..." The Nebraska campus needs many improvements. Most desperately neded at the present is an auditorium for the University Theatre, unless -we are willing to let the drama department suddenly collapse after its long and -hard years of steady progress in developing an able physical plant and excellent training grounds for speech students. But our thinking processes shouldn't be turned by the fact that here is $85,000 going into a carillon tower when it might be used elsewhere. If the wish of the donor is to build a carillon tower, let us be thankful for that in short, $85,000 for a carillon tower is far better than no $85,000 at all and continue to make our needs for other things known to those who can do something about them mem bers of the Board of Regents and the state legislature.

I was standing in a train sta tion, leaning on u time table and watching two sorority girls club bing a faction member to death and waiting for my train going to California, when suddenly two furtive looking characters slunk up to me and said: "Come with us, we want to talk with you." Instantly I knew they had caught up with me at last Suddenly I became flooded with nueroses, psychosises, feeling:, of regression, aggres sion, repression, obsessions, fears, phobias, anxieties, com pulsions . . . my nuerasthenia, hysteria and hypochondria came back ... I also was a little worried.

I whipped out my horse pistol which I had raised from a colt. "I ain't done nothing," I cried meekly, blowing the head off one of my abductors. The other was extremely fright ened. But never the less, he sidled up to me and whispered a lew words in my reluctant ears. I could not believe my eyes at what he said. "But I couldn't," 1 said coyly, "I know nothing about the business." He asked me if I had a name. I told him it was Shannahan O'Greenberg. "Ah, that's a big name," he said with satisfaction. Anyway, it seemed that these two men were really not offi cers of the law, but two Univer sity of Nebraska representatives. They were trying to sign me up as a coach . . . and this one was wondering if I had a big name, so I could be a big name coach. I almost accepted him. I told him how my grandfather's grand father was a coach, my grand father was a coach, my father was a coach and I was the caboose. I finally turned him down though. I'd rather have some nice steady secure job, like a llag-pole painter Coed Capers The Badminton and Duck Pins clubs will meet this week at their usual times, the Badminton club on Tuesday, January 11, at 7 p. m., and the Duck Pins club on Wednesday, January 12, at 7 p'. m. at Grant Memorial Hall.
