EXTENSION OF TIME
University Investigating Com
mittee Will Work Until
March 20 Looking
into Affairs.
The house committee that is in
vestigatlng university affairs report
ed Tuesday morning that another
month is necessary to finish the work
upon which it is engaged, and further
time until March 20 was granted.
The committee says that it is nee
essary to take up one department at
a time, and that each time it gets
some new lead that necessitated in
vestigation elsewhere. The partial re
port made assures the house that the
results so far are of vital importance
both to the uuiversity and the people.
The people set out these facts:
"Your committee has proceeded to
investigate the University of Ne
braska entirely in the spirit of the
resolution adopted by this body.
"You "will readily appreciate tlie
impossibility of your committee inves
tigating" all departments at o:i''e. and
that your committee must proceed In
this investigation by department"
separately.
"On the invitation of the head t i
the department of soil survey and con
servation of resources of the univer
sity, your committee with the assist
ance of an expert accountant pio
ceeded to investigate" this department
in the matter of expenditures. This
i one department maintains seven state
automobiles at the present time. A
-hese expenditures were being in
vestigated suggestions came irom
some unknown source to your com
mittee lhat their investigation he di
rected into the record of the blue sky
department to ascertain the policies
of the department of soil survey and
conservation relative to various com
mercial stock selling activities. Thc
department of soil survey and con
servation appears to be overlook !
by law to the bureau of securities.
Your committee has carried theli
investigation into the bureau of se
curities. The disclosures made in this
direction were from them bcgium::
of such a highly important natur-
that your committee felt impelled to
follow out these developments to
their reasonable and loeical cunclu
sions.
"Limited time has not permittJ
your committee to, in any degree
complete its work.
"Your committee believes it to be.
the spirit and purpose of this investi
gation to look into the financial af
fairs and policies of the university
and not any one department only.
"Your committee has been working
with a determination that their in
vesication shall not be diverted to
any one maj or department, ar i
your committee has reasons to be
lieve that if they are given the op
portunities of longer time to direc'
the course into other departments o.'
the university that many additional
and important facts can be secured
and presented to you for your judg
ment and information.
"Your committee deeply appreciated
the purposes and responsibilities o
this Investigation and assures you
that the results of their efforts and
labors thus far are of vital import
ance both to the university and to
the state of Nebraska.
"Your committee earnestly and re
spectfully petitions you to be privi
leged to lay before this body aeoni
plete report of the findings of a com
plete investigation rather than a par
tial report of any one department
"Your committee desires also to
call the attention of the house to the
fact that sickness of the various
members of your committee has very
seriously interferred with and delayed
this Investigation. On the foregoing
representations and statement of fact,
your committee I'ose respectfully
ask to te continued until March 20."

The conversion of Arabs to Chris'
' tianity is difficult principally because
they are very well satisfied with Mo
hammedanism, Dr. Harrison said U
University student at a luncheon at
the Grand hotel yesterday at nooi
An Arab experiences no spiritual long
ings which cannot be appeased by Mo
hammedanism.
The Arab conception of God is tha:
of an all-powerful ruler who doesu
interest himself with the personal
morality or ethics of his worshippers,
but requires them to acknowledge and
affirm his omnipotence. As long as
an Arab- does this, he is supremely
self-satisfied, and although he may be
in rags and with only a hazy idea as
to where his next meal is coming
from, he regards no one as his sn
perior, said the doctor.
The missionary in Arabia doesn't
try to make Baptists, Presbyterian.-,
or what not of the Bedouins, but en
deavors to teach them the skelets"
teachings of Christ himself, stripped
of unimportant theological baggage
and doctrinal impediments. Dr. Mar
rison explains. The enlightened mis
sionary is content if the Arabs accept
the essential points of the Christia
belief and adapt them to fit the'
individual needs. The result woulr

DH. HIDE SPEAKS
TO LECTURE GROUP

plained to Freshmen of
Arts and Science
College.
The science of psychology was ex
Dlained to the freshmen of the Col
lege of Arts and Sciences, Monday
evening and Tuesday morning, by
Dr. Winifred Hyde, professor of psy
chology. The nature of the work in
the study of psychology was explained
and some experiments wcro pel
formed by Dr. Hyde to show the prac
tical application of psychological
principles.
"Psychologists are interested in
human beings. They would like to
find out some of the laws that gov
ern human behaviour," declared Dr.
Hyde. She pointed out that these
laws were discovered by studying the
mechanism through which the consci
ousness works.
Dr. Hyde explained that the first
thing studied in psychology is the
five senses, sound, sight, touch,
smell, and taste. Dr. Hyde then per
formed several experiments to show
some of the laws that govern the ex
ercise of these senses. The human
memory, the power of imagination
and of association are also analyzed
in psychology. Dr. Hyde conducted
some experiments to show how these
mental processes are studied by psy
chologists. CHEMICAL FRATERNiTY
