Art ot Ortonei I ton uMincMrd Hepienibet IS l2Z Nil'ht News Editor Con Bert To the Editor of The Daily Ncbraskan: The Daily Nebraskan, along with officials of the University and many of the state's citizens, is properly alarmed at the university budget cuts made by the governor and by the unicameral's budget committee. However, such muddle-headed editorials as "What Nc biaskn Needs . . .'' do little to clarify the situation. Tlie problem is, as the Ncbraskan recognizes, a need to escape from the "White Spot" complex which prefers economy at any sac 1 i lice and considers the absence of debt the highest end attainable by man. The editorial, however, presents no sound argument for a direct sales tax. On the contrary, it cites as supporting evidence the very things which are not true of such a tax. It is ridiculous to assert, as the Nebraskan does, that such a tax is "a fair way to tax every one evenly." Nothing could be further removed irom the truth. Does the Daily Nebraskan deny that the effect of such a tax will be felt most by the small wage earner, who often must spend most of his income and has only very limited savings? The tax is not fair, for the simple reason that it does not con sider the taxpayer's ability to pay. Under such a plan, a Nebraskan making $10,000 a year must pay, let us say, one cent to the state for each loaf of bread that he buys. John Doe, another Nebraskan, with an income of $2,800, also pays one cent. Is this fair and even taxation? Very truly yours, Clarence W. Kaufman Dear Editor: It is regretable that in the con fusion of rumors during the Sec ond Pleneary Session of the Con stitutional Assembly that truth was not discerned from falaeious misrepresentation. Today, when light of day dispells dark rumors it is discovered that neither the Faculty Senate nor any of its committees have condemned the Constitutional Assembly. Indeed, it has been learned from a mem ber of the Faculty Senate that he and his colleagues "are inclined to believe that the Constitutional Assembly is the answer to stu dent government on the campus." We know it is. The session proved that when confronted with an attempt from the faculty, in this case merely imaginary, to deprive the student body of its right to democratic student government, all of the students on the campus are will ing to set aside their differences and stand in a united front to meet their common problems. The discovery of this unanimity of thought should be important to the final attainment of a demo cratic student government at the University of Nebraska. The circumstances of the hasty, uninformed action of the dele gates Wednesday night does no credit to the soberness of that body. We were and are members of that body end share in its con demnation, but we are proud to be a part of that assembly, for it means that we, like members of all the student organizations rep resented there, are primarily stu dents interested in the problems of student self-government and are willing to meet and overcome High Sehool Students to Meet For Fine Arts Course in June Nebraska high school students will take over the University campus June 9 when the All State Fine Ai ts course will open. The conference will last through June 30 and is open to all high fchool stuients. The department of speech and dramatic art, as in previous years, will offer courses in dramatics, debate and discussion, radio, choric speaking, original speaking bnd interpretive reading. ALL SrhECH students will participate in a verse speaking choir. They will also have an op portunity to appear as readers or speakers in regular student re the problems set before us as a united group working in a demo cratic way. But let us learn from our mis takes and look upon this tem porary adjournment as a recess during which all of the delegates to the assembly are to have time to consider the many problems that they have been confronted with and to discuss them with their constituents that they are representing. If we do this then, when the assembly reconvenes on May 10 after its brief recess, each of us shall return to our commit tees to do justice to our task. If the assembly continues to do as well as, it has already started, there can be no doubt that the constitution that is created shall be unanimously supported by the student body and must gain the acceptance of the Faculty Senate for if Faculty approval is not forthcoming the united indigna tion of the student body shall manifest itself more severely than it did Wednesday in the As sembly. One and all, greek and inde pendent, men and women, engin eers and agriculturalists, upper classmen and under-classmen, let us continue to meet together the problems of representation, stu dent rights, powers and faculty student relations that confront us. Let us all say to the Faculty Sen ate, "If you want to see student democracy at work, come and watch the May 10th meeting of the Constitutional Assembly." Gene IJerman Paul C. Reiter l.S.A. delegate citals. The dramatic students will produce two full evenings of plays toward the close of the course. The de baters will present a public discussion of next year's high school debate question. Radio students will produce regular on-thc-air programs over local and state stations. n THE DEPARTMENT of art will offer for the first time in All State, courses in drawing, paint ing, sculpture and design.

If big holes on campus grounds mean lots of treasures, then the University of Nebraska should be rich enough to shrug off the slashes which the governor and the legislature's budget commit tee had contemplated. However, the craters presently adorning the grounds are hardly for the purpose of uncovering chests of gold, but for improve ment of the campus in general. The greatest chasm can be found directly behind Grant Me morial hall, where workmen of the Olson Construction Co., broke 17,000 square feet of the earth's surface with deep excavations for the basement of the new Electri cal Engineering building. Work began in earnest on the $600,000 building Monday after word came that the structural steel shipment had arrived. Footings were laid for the foundation then. CHARLES F. FOWLER, build ings and grounds director, said today that the large building probably will be completed by January of 1951. The three-story brick structure with stone facings wil occupy the former site of old University hall and part of the old EE building. JhonL (paqsL Let soviet zone communists join the government being formed in West Germany. That was the attitude of West German political leaders Satur day. Christian Democrat and So cialist officials, planning to hold the first meeting of their interim government today, turned down suggestions that they do away with the We;-t German state and join the communist "people's con gress." IV CHINA, communist troops under professional studio condi tions. Students will view and study the University ait exhibits, and a special showing of work done by All-State art students will be held for the public at the end of the three weeks. The music department will of fer courses in band, orchestra chorus and theory. Each stu dent registering in music will take part in two of the three major ensembles. Each music student will receive six private lessons either in voice or his chosen instrument. Final Exam Schedule p fip ir lour .lava, or yion..

Labora tories and a 63-foot-long lecture room comprise the rest of the second floor. On third floor, tech nicians will be delighted to find their every need satisfied by the provision of four, communication labs and one transmission lab. A one-story wing joined to the west end of the building will house the power laboratory. Another man-made crater which was dug on the guadrangle be tween Morrill and Besscy halls is almost filled up. In fact, work men of the Olson Construction Co. started putting the finishing touches on the base platform for the 82-foot Mueller Carillon (pro nounced kar'-i-lon or ka-ril'-yun) tower. The $80,000 edifice, which will be constructed of buff Bed ford stone, will probably be fin ished shortly after the first of next semester. Steel stairs will wind around the inside of the eight-sided building to the obser vation platforms at 53 feet and 73 feet.. A THIRD MAJOR excavation was being filled last week at the prepared to let the ax fall on Shanghai. Red armies have begun an offensive to gain control of western approaches to the coastal citl, nationalist reports stated on Saturday. At Kunsham and Kashing, cities west of the Shanghai national lines, heavy fighting was raging. Nationalist planes have joined the attack with bombing and straf ing attacks. DETROIT'S three day old Ford strike was railed Saturday by Henry Ford II. In a letter to employees. Ford said that thousands were being "unjustly penalized." He repeated his willingness to negotiate the union's production "speed-up" charge. Meanwhile, Mayor Orville Hub bard of Dearborn proposed that Ford and CIO. United Auto Workers officials meet Thursday to attempt a settlement. N. C. That was the word from Gov. Val Peterson Saturday when he was asked what he intended to do with the bill to allow Nebras ka's normal schools to grant lib eral arts degrees. The measure was passed in the legislature Friday by an eight vote margin. The bill in its final draft had not yet reached the gov ernor's hands, however. Krl., or any one or two of l!:ee day.

However, in the excitement of planning for these projects tie architect didn't forget that Joe College likes to play once in a while. So he made plans for im provement of three sports areas, chshsb First on his list was the Field House, where workmen are now making enough progress to war rant a prediction from Fowler that the whole job would be fin ished by July. The new addition to the building provides for a sports arena which measures 125 by 200 feet. Football practices, excepting scrimmages, can be held in the arena. Number two on the sports plan included new tennis courts, which were supposed to have been fin ished for early spring enthusiasts. Unfortunately, when contractors asked the weather man for sun shine they received instead an abundance of moisture which pro hibited the fabrication of the spe cial bituminous surface with pa tented grass-tex finish. Eyeing the recent warm weather, Mr. Fowler anticipated a quick com pletion. BASER ALLERS need not be jealous of the attention being given to these sports areas be cause their favorite stamping grounds, the diamond itself, is number three on the improve ment plan. Work, which will be gin this summer, includes relevel ing and sodding the infield, and producing a more efficient drain age system. Students attending school this summer, will, for the most part, shun Andrews Hall, not because they are tired of the subjects that are taup.ht there, but because no classes will be held on the first and second floors. Reason? Is the faculty moving out en-masse in protest of the proposed univer sity slash? No, it's simply that' an almost complete icnovation of the basement and first two floors will be made similar to that of the Social Sciences building ac complished last summer. Included in the plans is the conversion ot the west two-thirds of the basement into a work space where technicians rnay store and prepare specimens for the Mor rill hall museum. On the east end of the building, a rowing room for the dentistry students will' be provided. As to long-ranne plans for cam pus betterment, the only certain thing on the docket is the demoli tion of houses east of thecamous in the two square blocks bounded by "S" and "U" streets. , Most of the houses in that area on Hth and 15th streets are owned by the state. The spare gained by tearing these down would be used for a parking lot. J
