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."

Campus Face-Lifting
A Shell-Marked Appearance
BY KENT AXTELL.
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.

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.

Computers will have plenty of
room to work in since nine com
puting rooms are planned for the
first and second floors. 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

Meanwhile, Mayor Orville Hub

Union where a garbage disposal
system was installed.
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.
