The Senior Advisory Board is an organization of thirteen girls of the graduating class, chosen by the Board of the preceding year, A Lenten Thought for Every Day What Is Honesty? The root of honesty is an honest intention, the distinct and deliberate Purpose to be true, to handle facts as they a.-e, and not as we wish them to he. Facts lend themselves to man ipulation. Many a butcher's hand is orth more than its weight in gold. What we want things to be, we come to see them to be; and the tailor Pulls the coat and the truth into a reriect fit from his point of view. , . Oh, to get life out of our selfish desires, 'walk in the light as He is in the light." not wishing mere ly, but "willing to live honestly!" M. B. BABCOCK. Three of Every Four " Attend College in Home State According to Dr. George F. Zook oi' the United States Bureau of Educa Hon, who has made a study of the res idence of college and university stu dents, three of every four students at tend college In their home state. The proportion of students taken care ol in their own state Is greater In the schools in the western states. In compiling the regular statistics of colleges and universities in the United States the Bureau of Educa tion lists the number of Btudents at higher institutions in each state. This has often been interpreted as an evi dence of the proportion of its resi dents who attend colleges and univer sltles, whereas a ranking of the states according to this method is not a de pendable index. The proportion of students to popu lation is greatest In states west of the Mississippi River and lowest In the GOZe ANNOUNCES CLM1IITTEES President Gives Out List of Men That Are to Act Second Semester.

Although the larger and more important institutions are usually found east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio, they do not draw as large proportions of their population as do the western Btates. They have, however, a greater draw ing power on students from other states. For the first time a fairly accurate estimate of the students from foreign countries has been made. In 1920-21 they numbered 6901, and there were 1456 students from American posses slons, making a total of 8357. The country sending the greatest number of students was China; thert were 1443 Chinese students in Amer ica during 1920-21. Except for the Canadian Btudents, who numbered 1294, the Japanese came next with an enrollments of 525 The Denver Clar ion. FOUR HUSKERS MAY ENTER MIT CONTEST Nebraska Wrestlers Are Eligible for Contest to Be Held at Columbus. After going through a very success ful season the Husker grapplers fall in line for the Western Intercollegiate meet to be held in Columbus, Ohio. According to the rules prevailing the four highest men in the Association are allowed to enter the meet. Thi3 puts four Husker wrestlers In line for a try at the honors. Trautman, the Husker captain, won the 175 pound class at Madison last year and is going to try it again. He has not lost a match this year. His teammate, Renner, is also in the perfect column and will go to the meet to try for honors In the heavy weight class. Reed in the 158 pound class and Probst in the 115 pound class have won three and lost one match. This may put them in line for a trial at the meet. Two alternates are picked, giving Pickwell and Kellogg in the 145 and 135 pound class a chance to go. The Western Intercollegiate Wrest ling and Fencing Association has one big meet every year to end up the season. Last year it was held at Madison, Wis. Trautman won the 175 pound class honors while Thomas in the 145 went to the semi-finals. All of the best wrestlers in the middle west are entered and the man winning must go through a severe test. Contrary to reports, Inman did not lose his match by a fall but lost it by a forfeit. Lane of Iowa did not pin-Innian's shoulders to the mat, ac cording to Coach R. G. Clapp, but punished him so severely that Inman was forced to give up. There were no falls in the entire match. This is the first time that a Nebraska wrest ler has forfeited a match, said Dr. Clapp. Freshmen Score in A. A. U.

ENGINEERS HEAR 'S SPEECH ON EDUCATION University Extension Agricul ture Engineer Addresses Freshmen on Gradu ates' Chances. v OFFERS COMMANDMENTS Speaker Gives Advice to Stu dents on Problems They Will Meet in Their Work. "The college graduate has 800 times the chance of the man with no education of becoming state-wide em inent," said Mr. Ivan D. Wood, Uni versity Extension agriculture engineer in ! speaking to freshman engineers Monday at 5 o'clock In M. E. 206. "The man who never went to school has just one chance In 150,000. The high school graduate has eight-seven, and the man with an elementary school training four times that chance. And your success depends upon three things, yourself, your choice of a profession, and luck, but mostly upon luck. "Not over two or three per cent ol the fellows yfiTPkTiew came to col lege. Of this two per cent I always consider the engineers the select few, and If you are, you wiK Vt--n have to succeed. There's plenty of room at the top according to figures compiled by the army. Their intel ligence tests showed that only four per cent of the men examined were capable of taking high commissions; nine per cent were capable of taking any commission; twenty per cent of becoming non-coms; thirty-four per cent were capable of being lower non-coms, and three per cent ere below ten year mentality." Defect of character rather than any lack of technical ability usually lim its an engineer's usefulness was the conclusion of a British colonel aftei years of experience with projects em ploying 20,000 men, Mr. Wood said. "Language is the means by which you express yourselves," lie declared. "A man who has not nearly the tech nical ability of another may hand in a report to a commission that will give him a good job, while the man who misspells a few words loses." An engineer lacks the humanizing touch is a criticism made by a cer tain professor, Mr. Wood emphasized. "If you don't have the ability to know and deal with men you will be up against it when you get out into the field. You are always selling your knowledge and you do this through your ability to mix and make an im pression on other men. "Your reflexes enable you to see what to do In a crisis and to do it without having to think. Engineering requires men with quick and accuratb reflexes just as aviation does. The man who has poor reflexes would probably classify better as a lawyer than as an engineer. The reflexes reach thier maximum in a man prob ably at about eighteen or twenty years. At fifty they begin to fall off. and a man seventy years old usually has very poor reflex action 4 "Acquiring the humanizing touch gives you the ability to become an executive. The executive is the man who draws the high salary and he is usually a man with a rather broad training. It comes in handy to be able to make men think you are a good fellow whether you are or not." Ingenuity is an important require ment of an engineer, at least of an army engineer, Mr. Wood pointed out. He told of a party of army en gineers in Alaska who lost a mule through the ice and seized the op portunity to place the blame for the loss ol every missing piece of equip ment on the mule. The Secretary of War wrote and told them it was no wonder that the mule went through the ice with twenty ons of gear on his back. "I know of no better course for a banker, especially a country banker, than a course in agriculture englneer- inir.r Mr. Wood insisted, "for the country banker is constantly dealing with land, grain, and physical things that can best be measured by engin eering methods. Of fifty-six men who have majored in agricultural engineer ing since the course was opened, four are bankers, sixteen farmers, three salesmen, seventeen In educational work, three in finance of some kind, three are manufacturers, one a store keeper, seven professional engineers (Continued on Page Four). ( The annual public exercises for Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma XI, honorary scholarship and scientific fraternities at the University of Nebraska, which Is to be addressed this year by Presi dent Alexander MelkleJohn of Am herst College, will be held in May in stead of on March 19, the date an. I nounced Sunday. Frof. A. R. Congdon, secretary of Nebraska Alpha chapter of Thi Beta Kappa, received Monday a letter from Dr. Meiklejohn, sayiig that the sug gestion of an earlier date was an erro. Dr. Meiklejohn will go to the Uni versity of Wisconsin to deliver a Phi Beta Kappa oration on the same trip which will bring him to Nebraska. EOES TO COLUMBIA Instructor in Psychology Offered Assistantship in Eastern College Graduated in 1921. Frederick Lund, instructor in Ap plied Psychology, has accepted an assistantship in the Department of Psychology, at Columbia University. Mr. Lund was graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1921 and he has been an assistant in the Psy chology Department for three years and an instructor for one year.

According to Mr. Lund, this is not so much an honor to himself as it is to rthe University and Jiis depart ment in that they are recognized to be capable of turning out men who can fill Important positions. T GETS UNDER WAY Inter-Company Basketball Meet Starts Wednesday ana 1) Victorious. The inter-company tournament got under way last night when four com- nanies swung into action and shot a leather sphere through a hoop rather than shooting some enemy through the gizzard. With about fifteen hun dred men in the Military Department and with about a thousand and a half to draw from it makes an inter esting tournament. Companies C and D survived the first round. Both the games were dose and well- played. At the end of the first half in the D and O games the score stood n to 9 and neither team seemed u. have an edge. A little new blood was injected into the D outfit and they walked away from the boys that flaunt the letter G. Wyant had a wicked eye for the basket, scorin five field goals without a foul checked nn airainst him. Simmerson in the same squad was hitting a rapid pace getting three field goals and one free throw. Three of the G athletes gar nered a basket while Johnson tossed six free throws. The C and A game was the hardest fought and the fastest game of the afternoon, It was necessary' to play an extra period to settle the 11 to 11 tie. Lunner was the star of the C squad while Posposal did most of the work for the A outfit. This game was fast and both sides were called often for rough work. The game was featured by close guarding and sharp basket shooting. Neither team had the edge and the C squad won only by mere circumstances. The rest of the first round will be played today and the first game of the second round will be started at S o'clock. Companies F and I will meet at 5 o'clock this afternoon to settle their differences while K and L will mix at 5:15. Many rooters from the companies are coming out to help the teams along. The games are fast, clean, and well worth watching. There is plenty of star work to keep a fan on his toes. A summary of the games follows: (Continued on Page Four). NEBRASKA ALUMNUS MILITARY OURNEY Scotch Clergyman Who iS Tour ing America Will Give Annual Address to Graduates. GIVE ROUNDUP DATES Actives on Last Week of School Are Planned Entire An nual Program Being Planned. The Baccalaureate sermon to the graduates of the University will be given on Sunday, June, 3, by Rev. A. Herbert Gray, one of the foremost of the younger clergymen of Scotland, who will be touring American col leges this spring under the auspices of the Student Y. M. C. A. Rev. Gray received hfs education at Edinburgh University and the New College, Edinburg. ilia first charge was in a congregation ot working' class people in the city of Manchester where he and his wife, a daughter of Professor Marcus Dods, being pas sionately interested in applying the Christian gospel to economic and so cial problems. Later he was called to the College Church in Glasgow whose congrega tion contained as many cultured and reading people as any in the city. His ministry there was most success ful. and he greatly surprised every one by suddenly asking the Presby tery of Glasgow to release htm and allow him to take up a charge in one of the poorest districts in the city. This was a great financial sacrifice to both him and his wife, as their five children were in the process ot getting their education. He became a force, however, in the Scottish Church and the chief exponent of the social interpretation of the gospel. He Was in Service. During tUe war Rev. Gray was re leased from his charge and spent his time for several years doing a phe nomenal work with the problem ot drinking and immorality in the camps. At the close of the war he returned to his charge, but he had won a na tional reputation and calls from col- legos constantly u-me to him to speak to students. Finally an arrangement was made by which he was released from his parish and he has been widely used in student conferences and in student work, as well as in addresses to hundreds of working men. He is the author of "The Christian Adventure." The program of Commencement Week is settled by tradition.
