PRES. ROWLAND HAYNES
SAYS NO DOLE

President Rowland Haynes OF
the University of Omaha today de-
Tended work-relief against those
who would supplant this program
with a direct dole.
Admitting that any form of pub
lie relief will injure morale AMI
faint the American tradition OF
rugged indivdualism,' President
Haynes declare:
"Tho Country can't very well
avoid the relief problem at the pre-
sent time. It's very much like a
flu epidemic-it's bound to have
it's bad effects, but you can't very
well overlook 1t.
al feel that if we a afford 1t
wa should keep work-relief instead
of a dole. l feel that the extra
cost pays for itself partly in the
increased morale of the people and
partly in the work done. A dole
leaves nothing to show for 1t ex-
cept some stomachs partly filled.
Mr.. Haynes has himself been IN
social welfare work for more than
a quarter of a century. Before be-
coming president of the University
of Omaha in 1885, he was head of
the Nebraska division of the Fed
eral Emergency Relief Admins
tration.
The president stated that work
relief, like any type of work. de-
ponds for it's efficiency on careful
planning and good foremanship.
The WPA has been working on the
University of Omaha campus since
last fall. OF the work thus Tar
completed, President Haynes said;
"Check tests show that the efti-
viency for the work ranks high The
men grading and the west end OF
the campus for an athletic field
have often removed ten carloads Of
dirt apiece during a single days
work Work like that doesn't give
much time for shovel-leaning."
The president added that he
"would like to see those who poke
fun at the WPA try their own
hands at shoveling. | doubt If very
many Of them wuold do the job as
well as the wPA workers
Mr.. Haynes thinks the relief
nroblem will be with US for a long
time to come. England, he pointed
out. has had it for a number oil
decades. The problem has hereto
fore been stalled off in the United
States by the free lands OF ohe
West, the development OF mass
production and other similar fac
tors. Now we can't stall it of
any longer.
