Jack Ackerson niiiiiiiiinniiiiiiiMiiw Does America Need Kearney College? Well, does it? I should, if I were asked, answer this question quite log- ically and to the point. I'd say Yes and No. Some do and some don’t. It makes no difference and maybe if it did it wouldn’t if it couldn't. Many’s the time I’ve pondered—yes, pondered, you dope!—about such affairs as state teachers’ colleges. Now all I ask is some clear thinking on this subject. According to our commencement speaker in 1920, 1921, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932 and undoubtedly in M 1933, the graduates of the Kearney State Teachers College today are the world builders of tomorrow. They will run our government, solve our com- ing problems, relieve us of our ills, and be the very foundation of our nation! Our country’s future rests upon their broad shoulders. If this is true {and it surely must be if all the commencement speakers say so) what a necessity Kearney College must be to America. Just twenty-eight years ago the college was bom and things started happening. History has been made. The greatest advancement of all times g has taken place since then. Automobiles and airplanes have become a commodity, great inventions have been made, fortunes have been won and lost, standards of living have risen, wars have been fought, and good old K. S. T. C. is not the least conceited about all this. Did our great men need this college? Did Roosevelt, Eddie Cantor, or Mickey Mouse have any trouble just because they didn’t go to Kearney State Teachers College? Or did they? The difficulty is that everyone can’t get the breaks. The really great people: Professor Truitt, Franklin Fmck, Barney Fuller, Bob Hardie, are in this college at the present time! As the old saying goes: He who knocks but once, gathers no moss.” And these last mentioned Famous men have not only knocked once but many, many times; in fact, they’re always knocking. And as for moss—they don’t stop at this, they are human vacuum cleaners. Did Paul Revere, Napoleon, Cleopatra, or Columbus need K. S. T. C? ::: No! very definitely no! And look what happened to them. You say, What §§ did happen?” They died, I cell you, and who wants to die? They got into p history books. And what is it that history books have done to K. S, T. C.? In spite of them this old college has survived, fellow students; yes, sur- P vived. It will live and live (God help it) until it has seen all its former students famous and well-known and that means from now on. It will live until there are no pink tooth brushes; until the 9 out of 10 has been cut down to 1 out of every 3,454,368,292,721; until B. O. will mean to this dear old public nothing but Butch Overmire; until Bunny Morrison i: gets down to 99 44 100; until Mr. Ryan admits that He ain’t got no g use for this here English what we’ve been a hearin’ about so much of late”; until George Burger cuts his dates down to 3 a week and begins to settle down; until Miss Wirt starts offering snap courses; in fact, until this dear old world of ours starts riding a bicycle! Just think: if it weren’t for K. S. T. C. we wouldn’t have a Blue Qt Gold, (or mavbe I shouldn't have mentioned it), m And this, dear kiddies, is my answer—yes and no—America does and m does not need Kearney College. Robert Martin.
