Educational Advantage
At this time of year, it would seem that each
University instructor thinks only of the courses he
is teaching and, consequently, assigns term papers,
special projects, outside reading, chapter readings,
and various other academic work to his students.
The first six weeks tests are coming up the last
of this month and will add their burden to the
already-too-busy students. Late hours, too much
coffee and never enough time plus too much work
cause the majority of University students to spend read 300 pages for one assignment, it is difficult to
Judge Simmons spoke, in effect, about the
anxiety expressed by the peoples of the Orient
in regard to information, liberties, teachers, and
books. The tone of his remarks upon returning
to this country Indicated that a thirst for know
ledge and a frustration of this desire due to in
adequate funds and facilities existed in the
Orient.
Perhaps as a University student is asked to

Undoubtedly, in the midst of our college life, we
cannot conceive of the millions of people our own

But Judge Simmons has come back and told
the people of Nebraska that "millions ... are

the whole campus seemed to pack
a lot into those three diys.
Friday night was the blr

This book drop would enable students to re- -dV
turn books at any hour, day or night. Certainly,
this would be a most welcome improvement.
Books are due before 9 a.m. and anyone who has
an 8 to 9 a.m. class is required to make a quick
trip to the upper floors of the library in the short
period between or before classes. Two-bour re
serve books are the biggest problem. The two-hour
reserve counter is not only on the third floor of
the building but it is in the farthest corner pos
sible. It takes a real athlete to make the trip up
and back in the ten minutes alloted.
Students have recognized this problem for a
long time. Probably, library officials have too. Why,
then, hasn't someone done something about it?
Someone has.
So that no one section of the University will
get favoritism in receiving improvements, the
committee made up of faculty and administra
tion representatives from all over the school
has divided requests into six categories. They
are improvements which are required for safety
(such as new valves on boilers), improvements
essential for building maintenance (such as leak
ing roofs), replacement of worn out facilities,
Changes which 'will increase efficiency, changes
which will increase comfort and physical plant
improvements. All the requests for improvements
were divided into these categories.
This was necessary because there were five times
as many requests as there was money to fulfill.
Unfortunately, there was only enough cash to take
Due de Saint-Simon were considered such frank
revelations of the lives of the royal family and
the nobility that the manuscript was kept under
lock and key for sixty years after Saint-Simon's
death. This book which is such delightful reading
would have been undiscovered by me except that
it turned up on the bibliography for one of my
history courses.
The style is as easy to read as any book you
can find. The only thing that
is confusing is that sometimes
Saint-Simon calls a person by
his family name and sometimes
by his title. And there are so
many people mentioned that
it's impossible to keep them
straight in your mind. One
incident after another is related
with great sharpness of de
tail. Most of the Incidents re
volve around Intrigues for
favors with the king or around the illicit love af
fairs of the courtiers, or around the idiosyn
crasies of various famous people of the time.
Marriages were of course arranged by the fam
ilies and were expected to elevate the position
or augment the estates of one or both parties
in the marriage. This is what happened to one

on the grounds that employees were given an hour

after his nomination last July.
Honorable Intention
At last week's meeting or the Inter-Fraternity
Council, it was suggested that the money col
lected in fines from fraternities for rush week
infractions be donated to the Nebraska Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis. For several reasons,
all of them valid in the eyes of The Nebraskan,
the suggestion was found impossible. However,
The Nebraska would like to congratulate the
members of IFC for considering such a proposal.
Activity Point Bound
With the AWS ban on activities for freshmen
women terminating at its Mart, Oct. 15, sororities
are busily filling their pledges' minds with "we
need someone in this" or "you'll really go places in
that." This paper recommends that the over
pushed freshmen coeds tuke a good, long look
around before entering activities a close look at
the means instead of the end.
