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.

Furtive Figures Hunt
For Gridiron Mentor
BY EARL KATZ.
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.

Columbia starlet, Virginia

snaked to my hip. 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
