THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Thousand Dollar Prize Offered
For Essay on Economic Subject
A committee of prominent pro
fessors of leading- Universities has
been enabled through the generosity
of Hart hafner & Marx of Chi
cago, to offer In 1927 prizes for the
best studies In the economic field to
certain classes of contestants.
These prizes are being given In
order to arouse interest in the study
of subjects pertaining to commerce
and Industry, to arouse those who
have a' college training to consider
the problems of a business career,
and to assist in constructice econ
omic thinking.
The contest Is divided Into classes.
Class A includes any resident of the
United States or Canada, without re
striction, the possession of a degree is
not required or is there any age limit
set in this class. Class B includes
only those who, at the time the pa
pers are sent in, are undergraduates
of an American college. Attention
is especially called to the rule that
the competition is not confined to
topics proposed by this committee,
but any other subject chosen must
be first approved by the committee.
A first prize of one thousand dol
lars and a second prize of five hun-i
dred dollars are offered to contest
ants in Class A. A first prise of
tkreo hundred dollars and a second
prize of two hundred dollars are of
fered in Class B.
romnetitors are advised that the
studies should be thorough, expressed
in good English, and although not
limited to lenc-th. they should not be
needlessly expanded. They should
be inscribed with an assumed name
the class in which they are repre
scnted, and accompanied by a sealed
envelope giving the real name and
address of the competitor, together
with any degres or distinctions ai-
reAdv obtained. No paper is eligible
which shall have been printed or pub
lished in a form to disclose the iden
tity of the author before the award
shall have been made. Contestants
are warned that in submitting essays
on more than one contest they may
disaualifv themselves by disclosing
their identity. If the competitor
is in Class B, the sealed envelope
should contain the name of the insti
tution in which he is studying.
The papers should be sent on or
before June 1, 1927, to J. Laurence
Laughlin, Esq., University of Chi
cago, Chicago.

SELLING THEM CULTURE
(Ohio State Lantern)
Students here sit through sundry
lectures in which they are told their
aim in college should be to acquire
culture, a taste for the good things
in life. They are told they should
enjoy these things because not to
do so means they are a little lower
than the beasts. This is an old fash
ioned idea of higher education.
From time to time are published
figures showing the days spent in
college are worth fabulous sums to
graduates. This, we are inclined to
believe, is the new idea of education.
Although they do not always admit
it, our universities are becoming
converted to the idea that students
should be taught how to earn size
able incomes. Lucre is slowly gain
ing recognition.
In our present state of civilization,
one may well believe colleges de
fraud the students if they give
graduates only cultured tastes with
out a knowledge of how to make
money. In these days one jmust
have money as well as culture to
lead the good life. Occasionally in
genuity will take the place of money,
but ingenuity is rare.
Colleges might as well admit one
of their primary aims is to teach stu
dents how to earn two dollors where
they only earned one before. This
is an age when people must be
"sold" ideas as well as things. As
things now stand, colleges often fail
to "sell" their students the culture
idea.
We offer, modestly enough, an im
provement, ticture Professor Sell
emculture addressing a class of
serious minded seekers after dollars
and culture.
"Now, four years at Helpmegetit
University will teach you how to
earn $5000 a year at "the very low
est figure," Professor Sellcmculture
will say. "You will have money
enough to enjoy all the best things
in life, the best books, the best music,
the best paintings, the best what not.
Ton don't want to miss all this, now,
do you? All right, all you have to
do, is study hard, and we11 fill
you full of culture. Then when
you're earning ten or a hundred
thousand dollars a year, you won't
be low and uncouth creature."
And, lo, in those days, it shall
come to pass that our universities
will turn out graduates all sicklied
o'er with the pale cast of culture.

another field goal. He flipped in
two more two-pointers. Joe Wostou
pal ended the scoring of the half
with a field goal, bringing the score
to 13 for Delta Upsilon and 8
for Farm House.
The D. U.'s began adding to their
score with the beginning of the half.
Wostoupal made a short one, and
Dana followed with two of the same
nature. Cass came in for a pass and
netted two points for Delta Upsilon.
Weber fouled Wostoupal, who miss
ed the free throw. Dana counted
on a shot from the sideline, and
shortly after made two free throws.
Wostoupal slipped in for another
short one. The D. U. reserves were
sent in. Anderson, on a pretty pass
from Wostoupal, put in a short one.
Anderson counted again from under
the basket, and the game ended.

they will not only succeed in reduc

tem but in placing it upon a happy,
democratic basis."
L. E. Gunderson, usually quite
conservative in his statements, did
not hesitate yesterday to say that he
believed the movement was a step in
the right direction.
"I anm-ove of it." he said, "and my
approval is not prompted by my posi
tion in this University as bursar."
The steady increase of students ad
hering to the cause is gratifying to
the body already behind it. The Al
pha Omicron Pi sorority added their
name to the list of organizations who
are giving their unqualified support.
"We are willing to walk in order
that the boys may secure just rates
and to help place the social system
upon a more economic basis."
Omaha Paper Interested
Student leaders say that those who
believe the movement to be a petty
campaign which has attracted but
little atcntion will have a chance to
see what out of town people think
of it today. Yesterday the Omaha
News correspondents called one of
the leaders and asked if he could
take pictures of the old tumbled

caused more than one outburst of
mirth on the campus. The more
students present at the picture-taking
the more impressive will be the mes
sage which will be conveyed to the
Omaha and out-in-the-state people,
student leaders point out.
With the administration behind
them and the press finding the move

They have pointed out that the cam
