" Newspaper Can't
Understand
"Newspapers, by printing large
volume of news, cannot take up all
the slck in 4,16 Amcrlc8n fai,ure

22" declared Prof. W. G. Bleyer,
director of the University of Wiscon
n Course in Journalism, speaking
"n "The Press and Public Opinion In
Lernational Relations" last week.
Dr. Bleyer listed several facta in
upport of the statement. The or
dinary reader spends only twenty to
thirty minutes on his newspaper.
The ordinary reader is chiefly inter
..t.A in local news and is seldom in
terested in foreign affairs except
when they are airecuy connected
with American affairs. The rapid
pce and high nervous tension every
where manifested in modern life are
not conducive to the sustained men
tal effort which is necessary for the
assimilation of news reports of poll
tical, economic, and social move
ments. Moreover, the overwhelming
majority of the newspapers are read
in the evening when men and wom
en are tired and wish entertainment
rather than instruction.
Explaining the role of the evening
paper in modern life, Dr. Bleyer said
- it is one of the three easily available
sources of evening entertainment
The other two sources are the movies
and the radio, he said.
"As a rival of .such attractions,
the evening paper must present its
contents in a bright, interesting, and
entertaining manner," Prof. Bleyer
asserted. "The drama of life as it
is found in news of accidents, crimes
and scandal has the perennial appeal
that is lacking in almost all news
events in the world of international
affairs. Thus the melodrama of the
'movies' and the 'jazz of radio pro
grams have come to have their coun
terparts in the news and features of
our evening paper."
Despite its weaknesses, however,
the modern newspaper has played an
influential role in international rela-

numerals is steadily incerasing. In
1923, 263 high school athletes won
numerals, in 1924 there were 389
awards.
The Nebraska high school numeral
is an emblem of ability that is recog
nized throughout the state. The
methods of awarding the numerals
gives every man a fair chance, as the
numeral is not awarded for. a per
formance in one meet, when condi
tions might not be right for certain
men; the best times made during the
season apply.
Numeral System Explained.
The state numeral system is the
same as the one used in the univer
sity except that the standards are ar
ranged for high school athletes and
that two numerals are awarded, the
"full blue" and the "half blue". In
order to win tho "half blue" twelve
points are necessary. Eleven points
are the most that can be scored in
one event, so in order to win a num
eral the athlete must have ability in
more than one event The "full
blue" requires twenty-four points.
The numerals are awarded by the
Athletic Department of the Univer
sity only upon the certified recom
mendation of the superintendent of
the high school. A form for the ap
plications is sent out by the athletic
department
In a letter by Coach Schulte sent
out by the University Extension de
partment to high school coaches some
points in training track men -are
given. Coach Schulte recommends a
long, slow period of training, rather
than a short, over-strenuous period,
u auggested that training be done
the vear round.
It is particularly urged that high
school men do not train too stren
uously for it is a well-known fact that
ny high school athletes burn them
selves out by over-work in high
school. Men should not extend them
selves greatly any more often than
s week or ten days.
The standards for winning the
state numeral have been changed
since 1922, when Coach Schulte pub
lished a set in the Track and Field
rules.
The following dates are important
in high school track circles:
April 15 to June 1 Stat Num
eral Honor Roll.
April 3 to 17 State Home Course
&lay Championships.
April 14 to 24 State' Pentathlon
Championship.
May 7 and 8 State Champiori

minister.
Displaying specimens of the con
tents bills used by English newsboys
as a substitute for the American
newspaper headlines, the speaker as
serted that the Northc'iffe press dur
ing the war rang such changes on the
words "wobble" and "muddle", in re
ferring to Mr. Asquith, it was able
to undermine the confidence of tn
people in the Asquith cabinet. Al
most as powerful, said Prof. Bleyer,
was Northcliffe's London Daily Mail
in stirring up imperialistic sentiment
during the Boer War.
How Joseph Pulitzer's New York
World prevented a possible war be

States over the Venezuelan boun

Prof. Bleyer. He described . the
World's method in requesting cabled
messages of "Peace, Common Sense,
and Humanity to the United States"
from such British Dersonaees as the
Prince of Wales, Lord Salisbury, Wil

"The average citizen", he said.

You Will Praise Marshall Neillan's
Production "Wild Oats Lane",
When You See It At The
Lyric This Week
Manager Gorman feels confident
that all who witness "Wild Oats
Lane" with Viola Dana and Robert
Agnew in the leading roles will claim
this photoplay to be entertaining
helpful, inspiring, and uplifting. It is
a highly romantic story of life in the
underworld and of the regeneration
of two souls through the power of
love. The critics claim "Wild Oats
Lane", Marshall Neilan's newest
screen 'drama, to be one of the out
standing pictures of the new year.
Hope Hampton will be seen in a de
lightful fantasy in natural colors,
"Marionettes". Visualized world's
news and cartoon smiles with the
stage attraction, Miss Marjorie Bur
ton, the grand opera girl of vaude
ville, completes a bill that should be
especially appropriate for this parti
cular week. A brilliant musical pro
gram will be rendered by Ernest Har
risons Lyric orchestra and Mrs. May
M. Mills, organist.
