The Daily Nebraskan it 4 VOL. XXIV NO. 119.. STUDENTS HEAR PROF. MARKOYIN Speaker Declares That Slavic People Have ureat Cre ative Genius. SAYS THAT FUTURE OF RACE WILL BE BRIGHT "The coming of the Slavic nations on the world's stago is the remark' able phenomenon of the age," stated Boris V. Morkovin, professor of Rus sian language at the Charles Univer sity at Sprague, Czechoslovakia, at a convocation for Fine Arts students in the Temple theater yesterday af ternoon at 3 o'clock. Professor Paul H. Grummann, head of the School of Fine Arts, introduced the speaker. "The history of Bohemia is very fascinating and interesting," were the first words Mr. Morkovin uttered. He said that the audience could judge for itself the beauty and quaintness of the cities in the slides which he would use. The slides included scenes of cem eteries to plumbing. It was shown that Turkish towels were used for adorning bridal carriages, for offer ings to. the church and for home pur poses. The fashions of the Slavic women proved that choker beads, sleeveless jackets and jumper blous es were part of. their 'daily dress. The decorative style of the people was seen even in beehives and plumb ing. One old church built by a few shepherds was of particular interest. The slides dated from the medieval period up to 1650, when the last Slavic city was "smashed.'' "The future will show," conclud ed Mr. MorkoVin, "what humanity will get from this wonderful Slavic genius with its ardent faith; its depth of intuition; its individual idea of life and death; its martyr spirit; and its thirst for the ideal."

COHDM MAKES ADDRESS Speaks to Member of Aurora Com munity Club. "A Journey Through Nebraska" wa3 the subject of Dr. G. E. Condra, director of the conservation and sur vey division, beforo the Qommercial Club at Aurora last evening. Dr. Condra took with him illustrative slides. Tonight he will speak over broad casting station WOAW at Omaha on "Tablelands and Irrigation Areas of Nebraska." Dr. Condra's talks over WOAW arc bi-weekly. "Nebraska tho Beautiful" was Dr. Condra's subject beforo a district convention of Women's Club Tues day evening at Plattsmouth. Dr. Winifred Hyde, professor of psychol ogy, and Roy E. Cochran, professor of history, are other members of tho University faculty who will address the convention. DR. CONDRA IS GIVEN PRESENT BY SOLONS Pass Resolution and Present Desk as Tokens of Appreciation. A resolution expressing apprecia tion for his services and a walnut desk were the tokens by which the 1925 sessiqn of the Nebraska legisla ture acknowledged the services of Dr. G. E. Condra, director of the conservation and survey division of the University of Nebraska. Doctor Condra has lectured before the legislature on Nebraska resources and topography every Wednesday evening for several months, and has been -engaged in research, survey and conservation in the state for five years. He was one of the first Uni versity men whose services have ever been recognized by the body in such a way. The resolution passed unan imously. The walnut desk is one of those used in the representative hall by members of the legislature. The leg islators usually keep the desks for private use after the adjournment of the session. This was presented to Doctor Condra by Representative N. M, Nelson and several others. The resolution reads as follows: "We. the representatives of the Nebraska legislature of 1925," thank Dr. George E. Condra for his Wed nesday evening lectures and other as sistance given the legislature during the session and express our apprecia tion for his splendid and efficient work done for the state of Nebraska in the lines of research, survey and conservation." WILL MARE HAP OF CAMPOS Engineering Student! to Do Work for Regents. A topographical map of the Uni versity of Nebraska campus will be prepared by the surveying depart ment, in compliance with r. recent request by the regents. A similar map was prepared years ago, under the direction of former Professor Bridgeman. The, extensive changes and addi tions of ground made in the campus have caused this map to become out of date. The work will be done en tirely by students, and will be a com plicated task occupying months of work. Interfraternity athletics hava been abolished by the interfraternity coun cil at the Oklahoma A. and M. Col lege. It is charged that no schedule is ever played out and the winner is never really decided. The contests create dissensions among the fra--ternities on the campus, according to the statement made. Bring Out J f f r. 1 T 33 tor "Ueroy uay nrize was hotly contested by several athletic members of the teaching tos- ter. The event is an annual tradition with the commerce students and is a great favorite. It corresponds to the "Bizad Day" at Nebraska witn the exception of the carrying out of the derby hat idea. The only nroblem confronting the committee in charge of the affair, which is of any importance, is the finding of the derbies to sell to the students. This year the city was combed from end to end for hats which could he used. Every imag inable kind of '"lid" in every shape and size was found for use. The celebration is anticipated for weeks ahead, especially hy the fac ulty of the college which could be seen limbering -up daily. And yet af ter the game the maestros found that their limbering up in practice was just a hit of the real thing! NUMERAL MAT MEET CLOSES Three Freshmen, One Sopho more and Three Juniors Victorious.

Melick, '27 A red-faced, freckle-faced boy of eight years had the hardest job on tho campus last Tuesday. What's more, ho repeated his performance Thursday. Moreover, it was suppos ed to be his vacation, for Bobby Campbell is in tho 4 A grade at Hart ley school. His job was not exactly manual labor, yet he had to wear overalls to work. Whenever you aro about to give up in despair over a calculus impos sibility, or think you aro being im posed on in a psychology examina tion, just think of what Bobby had to go through, and take heart Imagine if you can a more difficult task for a boy than to sit still for three hours on Tuesday and two hours on Thursday. "It can't bo did" cither the imagining or the sitting. Especially if the boy is eight years old, red-haired, freckle-faced, and likes to play cowboy and climb trees. Bobby didn't have to sit still be cause he was a bad boy,- and certain ly not because his favorite indoor sport is sitting still. Not at all. But perhaps man's eternal craving for wealth has something to do with it When the checks are distributed to university employees on April 15, there will bo one for two dollars, pay able to Robert Campbell. Bobby almost sat still part of the time between one and four o'clock on Tuesday, and again on Thursday from one to three, while he was from one to' three, while he was painted twice in oils, drawn six times in charcoal, and once in colored pen cil. He was a model for the life class in the art gallery. And, oh, but it is hard to sit still. The first hour (although the clock hands register only ten minutes) you can nearly sit still, thinking of two dollars. But after that, you ear itches, you have to blow 'your nose, your foot gets tired, and you have to turn around to see who just came Three Students To Eastern V enezuela The eastern part of Venezuela is the territory assigned to Marion Funk, Herman Matheny, and Claire Clark, three of the geology students who have found employment in Ven ezuela within the past few months. The nature of their work is geologi cal reconnaissance and mapping. COMPET MANEUVERS1 WILL BE HELD SOON Change in System of Scoring Is Arranged by Military Department. Competitive field maneuvers will occupy the attention of the R. O. T. C. unit during the week following spring vacation. Each company will carry out a field maneuver on ground at the northern edge of Lincoln and each will be rated according to the performance of the men and of the cadet officers. The rating on this problem will count fifteen per cent of the total for each company during "compet" It will take the place of extended order drill in "compet" Orders have been issued to all ca det officers which give the general situation which the companies will have to meet Special situations will confront the officers and men after they are engaged in capturing the imaginary enemy positions. Each company will be organized as one platoon, the other Wo platoons of the company beJ.-.g designated by three men placed in the general po sitions that the platoons would hold. Two' machine gun squads, a one- pourider squad and a light mortar squad will he attached to each com pany for nse during the problem.

Then you yawn, and your ear begins to itch again. After about a week ov two, tho first hour is over, and you get to rest which means climbing down from the plat form and running around tho room. If it wasn't for these rest periods, models simply couldn't survive. Bob by looked at all the drawings. Tho ono in colored pencil attracted him most, as it depicted him on the bank of a stream fishing. The oil paint ings wcra all right hut they showed his hair just as red or even redder than it really Is. Bobby doesn't like rod hair. "Won't you please make my hair brown in your picture?" he pleaded of one artist Someone asked the small model if ho ever drew pictures. "No," he replied disdainfully, "babies do that" Someone did not ask any more questions. "Zing," went the bell, just as he was seeking vengeance on the girl who insisted on painting him as bad as he was, i. c. red hair. He duti fully resumed his position. "I like the action in. your draw ing," the instructor remarked to one of the girls. "Its no trouble to get the action in," answered the girl smearing on another daub of carmine, "hut I wish he'd quit wiggling a minute, SO I could get tho hoy in too." Bobby grinned. He looks like a sunset when he grins. Perhaps the anticipation of see ing Jackie Coogan would help you sit still. But it probably would make you all the more restless. The paint ers had to adjust the model's chin nearly every five minutes. When the last hour was over, Bob by rushed upstairs to exchange his overalls and straw hat for civilian clothes, so he could go with his big red-haired sister to her "munatomy" class and then to Jackie Coogan. Bobby is not going to be a profes sional model. That's settled. But he would go through it all again for another two dollars. MORKOVIN SPEAKER AT CZECH DINNER Informal Discussion Is Held With Foreign Professor as Guest. Prof. Boris V. Morkovin, of Charles University, Prague, Czecho slovakia, talked informally before a large crowd at the Grand Hotel last night. The meeting was purely in formal, and was attended by Czech students at the University and by other interested persons of Lincoln. Part of the talk was in the Czecho slovakian tongue. Professor Morkovin talked yester day morning at the university con vocation on "The Life and Creative Genius of Slavonic Peoples," and yes terday afternoon at a special Fine Arts convocation before Fine Arts students. Professor Morkovin is in America under the auspices of the famous Boston Museum. He was asked here to give American people some idea of the conditions in Europe and Asia, on which he is especially well posted "I talked in New York several months ago," said Professor Morko-j vin to a reporter yesterday. "I was just upside down from the place "at which I received my college educa tion, in Asia. Although I was born in Russia, I have lived in Prague for seventeen years, and am a citizen of both countries." Although his speech is slow, and rather hard to understand at times, Professor Morkovin forms his words and sentences perfectly. He hesi tates once in a while and in conver sation often says "or how would you say it?" HAYS TO CONTIMUE I0RR Will Return the Coming Summer for Soil Surrey Work. F. A. Hays of the Bureau of Soils, United States department of Agricul ture, will arrive April 9 for govern- men and state soil survey work throughout the spring, summer and fall.
