That Friday and Urn thirteenth
come toRitlicr toilay is a coincidence
but when we stop to think that they
romp in tho midst of violent attacks
of spring fever and on tho eve of
quarterly exams, we are almost ready
to bemoan our late. Hut remember
that many people consider Friday the
thirteenth as a day of pood luck.
University students will do well to
take advantage of the opportunity
presented by the meetings of tho Ne
braska Academy of Science to hear
some unusual and interesting lec
tures and discussions of present-day
scientific -.Noiies and problems. Xot
only are the ;wc main speakers well
worth bearing Vi the numerous sev.
tion meetings and open discussions
will bring out facts of interest to
ary scientil'icclly inclined student.
Several University of Nebraska
graduates are to be found on the list
of speakers. Their success in work
ing out problems of interest to the
Academy during the past year or two
speaks well for the undergraduate
departments in which they received
their training.
Plans for the second aqnunl Corn
busker Roundup, three-day celebra
tion for returning alumni at com
mencement time, are rapidly being
completed by committees working in
co-operation with the alumni office.
Already a long list of attractions has
been prepared and only one or two
uncertainties remain to be cleared up
before official announcement of the
program of the week starting on the
last day of May.
A new feature of the Roundup this
year is that of having all exercises
on the city campus. Under the new
plan, Ivy Day ceremonies, alumni
get-togethers and receptions will all
take place under the shadow of U
Hall. Campus organizations are be
ing urged to lose no time in organ
izing strong efforts to have as many
alumni as possible return for the
events which will culminate in the
commencement exercises.
From the beginning of the human
race it has been a rare pupil who has
not taken keen delight in finding
something his teacher did not know.
Even in more mature years the sense
of humor that evokes chortles over
another's pursuit of a vagrant hat,
enjoys the public exposure of some
one else's ignorance. In this senso
Ignorance is not meant an entire ab
sence of culture, but simply a lack
of familiarity with topics of current
Interest with which the average citi
zen would be expected to have at
least a passing acquaintance. No
sensible person would endeavor to
cram his mind with an assortment of
unrelated facts when encyclopedias
are available, but a certain amount
of general knowledge is absorbed in
reading newspapers and magazines.
The latest irruption of the "list of
questions' fad which Edison started
some time ago took place at New
comb College, New Orleans, where the
students were subjected to an intelli
gence test embracing every-day top
ics. The outcome apparently was so
far from flattening that the discom
fited students challenged the mem
bers of the faculty to take a dose of
their own medicine. The professors
accepted and the results of the exper
iment, judged by excerpts from their
papers, were such as to allay any stu
dent regrets in gloating over the dis
mal showing of the scholarly victims.
While the pedagogues undoubtedly
could conjugate an irregular Greek
verb, discourse knowingly on the
plan tary orbs or expose the short
comings of Rameses's family life,
they apparently had bad no intimate
acquaintance with a good newspaper.
It is amazing to discover In such a
region as New Orleans, that one of
the professors defined "Maraschino,"
the cherry, as a premier of Russia
before the war. Another evidently
hnd not attended many of the alumni
dinners or he would not have said
that filet mignon was a Puccini opera.
Some of the mistakes were less ludi
crous. No normal mule, for example,
could be expected to know what se
quains are and the guess that they
are a variety of fish is Just as good
as any other. Beatrice Fairfax cer
tainly sounds like a movie actress.
These answers Indicate that the pro
fessors were not above guessing In
a pinch, a practice they undoubtedly
have deplored many times in the
classroom. One of them was at least
getting "warm" when he picked
"Boob McNutt" as a heavyweight
champion. The only trouble was a
little matter of poundage, lor Boob
is at least a contender in the light !
weight d'vislon of comic supplements.

ANNUAL NEBRASKA-IOWA
DEBATE HOTLY CON
TESTED BY BOTH TEAMS
(Continued trom Page One).
eluded the direct argument when he
attempted to establish for Nebraska
that membership in the League would
unduly violate American principles.
He stated that the League offered
inadequate protection from interfer
ence in purely domestic matters, and
that it would involve the United
States in many petty European wars.
A hot series of six-mhyite rebuttal
speeches followed the direct argu
ment talks which were twelve min
utes in length. Time-keepers were H.
S. Stevenson, and T. J. Potter.
Vernon L. Sharp who is In the
Law College at Iowa, and who de
bated against Nebraska two years
ago, accompanied the team.
The debate held last night was the
thirty-sixth held in twenty-one .years.
No direct faculty supervision was held
over either team.
Many questions were asked and
answered in the open-forum. Some
of the audience presented views
which had not been taken by the de
baters, and some asked to have doubt
ful points cleared up. The debate was
terminated at 11 o'clock by Lieutenant
Governor Fred G. Johnson, who pre
sided. A large number of legislators
were present.
The debate was used as a "clinic"
for students in Argumentative Com
nosition (English 10) and Debate
(English 104), who by nooti Saturday
are to submit a critical report
on analysis, use of testimonial evi
dence, reasoning and fallacies, rebut
tal, and rhetorical style,. Several
professors took detailed notes on the
work of the teams in preparation for
a review of the debate a "post
mortem" which will be held (open to
the University public) probably Mon
day at 10 o'clock in U 106.
Members of Delta Sigma Rho (na
tional honorary debate fraternity)
acted as ushers.
Nebraska Alumnus

of Standard Oil Co.
John D. Clark, University of Ne
braska, '05,. has been elected vice
president of and assistant to the
chairman of the board of the Standard

the New York Times. Mr. Clark
was also graduated from the Colum
bia University Law School in 1907.
In 1909 he was offered a position
with the Mid-West Refining Com
pany, going to Denver from Chey
enne, Wyo., where he had been prac
ticing law. At the time of his elec
tion to the office of the Standard
Oil Company, he was general counsel
and vice president of the Mid-West
Company, in Denver.
Time Clock Put in
at Washington for
Embryo Engineers
"University of Washington, April 9.
At the beginning of tho coming
quarter a time clock will greet all
embryo engineers as they go to their
shop classes. Thereafter the silver
tongued operator or blacksmith may
not hope to convince the professor in
charge that he beat the clock to
work by ten minutes. Since time
clocks are generally hard to convince
thpt it is really 9 o'clock when it is
9:30, it is expected that the improve
ment will result in punctual attend
ance in all departments of the shops.
