S e c ondly, let's wish them suc cess in the fol lowing seven semesters It's Up To Us AJter repeated petitions from the 1951 Student Council -were read before them, the Board of Re gents for that year decided to allow the University operated Regents Book Store to sell classroom supplies. Local supply merchants didn't like the idea. They still don't. " Recently, these merchants have hired an at torney to prepare and circulate a petition request ing that the Board of Regents discontinue the sale of supplies. This petition went to 34 Nebraska communities and came back with names of busi nessmen representing nearly every section of the state. The merchants have submitted this petition to the University and asked that the Regents give them a definite answer at their Jan. 10 meeting. This, very Briefly, is what has happened up till now. The students have been given a chance to decide whether or not they -want the Univer sity .to fight for the preservation of supply sales. The 'decision is entirely up to u. In order to find student opinion a terrific order at any time the Student Council has decided to circulate a petition. If a majority of the stu dent body,-signs the petition, the Student Council and the Ttegents will consider It a mandate to op pose the movement to discontinue supply sales. It able at the Regents store. Further details on the mechanical aspects of the situation are available in a front-page news story. The Daily Nebraskan wishes to thank the University administration for leaving this prob lem up to the students. It is a matter which ' concerns us primarily and one in which we should have the primary say. However, most students did not expect a chance to have that say. It -certainly would have been easy enough for the administration andor the Regents to de cide on their own that supplies should or should not be sold at the University book store. It would have been a lot simpler for the officials involved if the decision had been made in an administrative conference. But officials recognized that a great University is not run without active regard for its students. they will spend at the University. In the classroom, we wish them sense enough to try to get as much out of every class as pos sible, no matter how asinine it may seem at the time.

By signing the petition, a student will say: "I believe that the University should continue to exercise its right to sell classroom supplies."

They have earned their four points knowledge, experience, prestige and hours and are three 'Jnillion dollars doesn't enhance the Univer sity's prospects for overflowing coffers in the coming biennium. What Crosby, Governor Peterson and some of the other state officials don't realize is that money spent on the state University is money spent on progress. The University is not an institution whose "budget can be cut down in the lean years and rebuilt again in the fat years. . We are now in the throes of rebuilding after the -"lean" years. Ferguson Hall, Agronomy Building, Bleats Laboratory and the insectory are proof that the rebuilding program is being used constructively. But a look at the tempor ary buildings, especially Student Health, and some of the old landmarks, whose peaceful decay Is jstill being interrupted by their use as class rswra. should convince anyone that rebuilding Is not complete. The fact that the medical school Ja"Dmaha is in danger of losing its class A rating is ample proof of what can happen when re building la postponed too long. "We are now paying the penalty for lack of foresight," said the Chancellor at the budget hear ing with Governor Peterson. The lack of fore sight is history and the bent we can do is not fall to remember its lessons. But unless we pay that penalty now it will continue to mount until it will be impossible to regain the loss of prestige and utility of the University. The statement of one of the members of the Board of Regents that we might is well "scrap the medical school and sell it for bricks" if we can't keep the class A accreditation, applies to the whole University. There are three other univer sities in the state, all of which are good schools. TM.UM IU... 4 1 1 1 II ti u uk uree, u.eie are many .imu toute. llaH, KMnMkM MhlMmt . HMMR, - and junior colleges.

Let's hope for the Juniors that they can all be either Innocents or Mortar Boards (or, at least, have enough "upstairs" to qualify if they want to try.) If there are any girls who haven't been queens yet, let's let them be now. It's a little late for boys to make the Varsity if they haven't already so let's let them all be top notch politicians (with a freshly painted soap box .for each.) Some might even get to be newspapermen or, better yet, make a lot of money some day and make huge do nations to the University. And then, there are those whose time is running out( sounds mor bid, .doesn't it?) Of course, we mean the stars on the tree, the SENIORS.
