SALESMAN LEAGUE WILL AID STUDENTS Organized To Help Undergraduates Who Turn To Direct Selling In Summer To Earn Money Chicago, 111., March 29. The for mation this week, under the non profit sharing laws of Illinois and with national headquarters in Chi cago, of The Square Saleman Lea gue of America, is of particular in terest to a large and constantly in creasing army of undregraduates in the various institutions of the coun try, many of whom during vacation pediod every summer turn to direct selling as a wholesome means for ready money to enable them to be self-sustaining. Not a few, in fact, who are dependent upon their own efforts for a university or collegiate education, have come to regard the opportunities thus afforded as a boon.. Make Substantial Incomes Thousands of men and women are making substantial incomes repre senting large, reputable, direct sell ing concerns and introducing their lines into various communities. Al most every day finds some big com pany which manufactures well known and trade-marked merchan dise turning to this modern method of distribution, and is on the look out for men and women to represent it. Then, too, the young man of today n appreciating more than ever the importance of acquainting himself ith some practical salesmanship in order that he may be better equipped hen in later years he embarks in business for himself. One of the purposes of the Square Salesman League of America, which has the unlimited backing of Op portunity Magazine and whose editor and publisher, James R. Quirk, heads the list of incorporators, is to aid these undergraduates in making con genial and profitable connections. An earnest of thi! endeavor is found in the official anouncement that Hal r- Denton, of Cleveland, who pio neered Kiwanis International and is "nown as the dean of that great ser ce movement, has been selected as executive secretary to direct the affairs of the League. The League is in reality the crys tallization of an earnest demand on the Part of more than a million di rect saleg representatives to not only Protect themselves from an untoward element in their midst (insignificant Jn numbers, yet reflective on the en re group), but also to co-operate w the fullest with the still greater rny of rightfully discriminating mericar, consumers, some of whom nndobutedly have been imposed on days gone by, and which condition "T! league now aims to obviate.

FOGG, Chairman, Student Publication Board ENGINEER PLANS SHOW PROGRESS Reservations Made For Down town Window Displays Dur ing Annual Celebration CAMPUS EXHIBIT UNUSUAL Chairmen of all committees for Engineer's Week met with Stanley G. Reiff, General Chairman, Monday evening and discussed and formu lated plans for Nebraska Eleventh Annual Engineer's Celebration. Plans seemed to indicate that the ev ent would not only be different, but bigger and better than ever before. Several unique ideas were suggested, but definite announcement of them was withheld due to the' fact that they were at this date without full details. Exhibitions Downtown Reservations have been made for window in most of the large down town stores in which various displays from each of the department of the College of Engineering will be placed. The Physics and Geology departments will be represented in these window displays also. Ted Johnson, chairman of the committee on window displays, states that sev eral general ideas have already been accepted, and promises that the dis plays will be more instructive, start ling, and mysterious than any shown heretofore. The Architectural Engineers are planning on presenting a large ex hibit of drawings and free hand sketches made by students in the Ag ricultural and Applied Mechanics de partments. Several models of vari ous important buildings will also be on display. John: Unthank, chair man of the committee for the "Ar chitect's Display," announced that work on these displays was progress ing rapidly. Plan Campus Display General Chairman, Stanley Reiff, stated that plans were under way for erecting an exhibit on the campus that would be entirely different from anything previously shown. Definite anouncement of it will be made at a later date. Committee chairmen as a group reported that work and plans were progressing rapidly and every one seemed satisfied that the Week this year would be the best ever sponsor ed by Nebraska's College of En gineering. Rifle Team Finishes With Score of 3707 The University rifle team finished shooting last week with a team score of 3707, the best of the season. Wanek, the last man to shoot, turned in a score of 348. The scores of Nebraska's opponents for the eight matches scheduled for last week will not be available until the middle of the week. r Construction and Heating of Field House Are Described in Blue Print The March number of "The Ne braska Blue Print" was issued Mon day and contains a variety of inter esting articles on the activities of the engineering world. A discussion of the construction of the Moffat Tunnel in the state of Colorado by Latelle DeFord, C. E., '24, is a feature. Not only does this article deal with the technical points of the construction of the tunnel but affords some interesting facts as to its size. "The Moffat TunneV states Mr. DeFord, "when completed will pe 32.250 feet, or approximately 6.1 miles in lenfH, and will be the long est n.ilroad tunnel in America and the fourth longest in the world. Cuts Off Many Miles "The tunnel will save 30 miles of 4 per cent grade between the East Portal and West Portal, and, by us ing the proposed Dotsero cutoff, will shorten the distance, by rail, from VESPER SERVICE OBSERVES LENT Annual Passion Program Will Be Held As Last of the Easter Series SILENT PRAYER AT FIRST The Passion service which is an an nual Vesper service will be held at Ellon Smith Hall on Tuesday evening at 5 o'clock.

Denver to Salt Lake City by 173 miles." Mr. DeFord is Instrument Man at the East Portal which is located 60 miles from Denver. Nebraska's New Field House is described by John Byron, '29, from the engineer's standpoint. In this article the author describes the erec tion of the building from the foun dation to the lead-covered skylight. Heated From Regular Mains "Heating and lighting of the struc ture are of interest," he states, "be cause, of the unusual proportions. A lead-covered skylight construction is being used together with side win dows of all-steel frame design. The Field House will be heatsd by meai.s of two forced air circulating units using heat tapped from the regular campus mains."

RICE IS WORLD FORUMSPEAKER Address on the "Individual In Progress" Concludes Series On This Subject MAY PLAN NEW GROUP The final speech of the series of talks on the subject of Progress, will be delivered Wednesday noon at the Grand Hotel. The speech will be given by Prof. J. A. Rice of the Ancient language department, speak ing on the subject of the "Individual in Progress". Although this ends the series 6T" lectures delivered at the World Forum luncheons on the sub ject of Progress, it is believed that another series of talks similar to these, will be planned. The series throughout the season has been rather interrupted by the various movements and special oc casions. Numerous officials visiting the school have interrupted the ser ies as they were originally planned. Business and Progress First The first of these talks was deliv ered by O. J. Feff, a prominent Lin coln business man, speaking on the subject of "Progress and Business1 "Progress in business lies in the im provements which make possible bet ter conditions for all classes and safety for workers," was the thought of this lecture on the relation of business to the progress of the world. Mr. Fee emphasized the fact that there was a great need of un derstanding between the parties with in a business .enterprise. A common understanding would surely elimi nate a great deal of the strife be tween labor and capital. This introduction to the series on progress was given February 17. It marked the first of the speeches on the subject Progress and Christianity The second speech was delivered by Rev. Ervine Inglis of the Congrega tional church. The topic was "Re ligion and Progress," in which was expressed the two views of a Chris tian. There is the group that is al ways looking back, while- the real progressives are those that look for ward and plan for the future. Rev. Inglis empahsized the fact that "Progress comes only through men and women struggling, working, and making the supreme sacrifice and through their relationship with God." Social Reform Necessary On March 25, Dr. Hattie Plum Williams, chairman of the sociology department, delivered a lecture on the subject of "Social Reform and Progress". Dr. Williams stated that "Social reform is one of the chief and necessary ways by which Pro gress takes place". All life is usual ly quiet and makes very little appar ent progress at the time. However Reform was shown to be a militant force, whose failures overshadowed the changes made. With the final speech to be deliv ered today, the series will be con cluded. The tickets are on sale at the Temple building and at Ellen Smith hall. WEATHER FORECAST Tuesday: Snow probable. Weather Conditions. A well-developed storm area is centered over Arizona and New Mexico this morning, causing rain or snow throughout the southern Mountain region and the southern Plains, and is expected to result in snow in Nebraska by to-night The snow Saturday night and Sunday covered Nebraska, Kansas, Mis souri, Iowa, and Illinois. . Cold weather continues throughout the country except on the Pacific coast. Freezing temperatures ex tend to southern Kansas arrd cen tral Missouri. THOMAS A. BLAIR, Meteorologist. GRID PRACTICE HELD INDOORS Bearg Declared Showing Made By Men May Determine Chances Next Fall "SKULL" SESSION HELD The spring football squad had no outdoor work yesterday, tho weath er being disagreeable. Coach Bearg held an indoor session, however, and the men should gain some valuable points from it. The grid mentor gave a talk, telling the men of the import ance of the spring practice, what his plans for next year's Varsity were, and generally covering the football sport. A "skull" session was held, drilling over the plays. Tho men learned just who they were ex pected to get on the various plays. Many of the aspirants have not yet perfected the plays and signals, and welcomed a chance to get a better undemanding of them. Wants All Out For Practice Coach Bearg announced that he wanted every man that has checked out a suit to be out for practice as often as possible this week, because of the game that will be held on Friday. He does not know yet what qualities all the players possess. It is probable that every man will be able to get in the game next week, if he is out to practice this week. The Coach will then be able to sur vey his candidates under fire and find proof of his abilities. Accord ing to Coach Bearg, the showing made by the men during the spring session will determine a great deal the chances that they will have for next fall. Divided Into Two Teams Practices ..ill be held every night this week as usual. The Reds and the Whites, the two different sec tions into which the squad is divided will practice their signals and plays alone, and probably scrimmage will be a joint workout between them. OAKES MAY BE HEW LINE COACH HERE Athletic Mentor From Tennessee Is Assisting Bearg for Week to Get Idea of Conditions Coach B. S. Oakes, of the Univer sity of Tennessee, arrived in Lincoln Monday and is going to consider a position as head-line coach at the University of Nebraska. Mr. Oakes will assist Head Coach Bearg the rest of the week with the football squad, and get some idea of the athletic conditior.? and system at Nebraska. Coach Oakes is a former Univer sity of Illinois athlete and at the Uni versity of Tennessee acted in the ca pacity of head-line coach, basketball mentor, wrestling coach, and swim ming coach, showing his great amount of experience in all of the greater sports. If Coach Oakes receives the ap pointment at the University of Ne braska he will serve as .full-time coach and will probably have part of his time taken with one or more of the minor sports. YenneTo Give Dramatic Program Herbert Yenne, of the Fine Arts Department, will deliver a full even ing performance in the form of a number of dramatic interpretations, April eighth, at Fort Morgan, Colo. Mr. Yenne will leave Lincoln early next week for the west and expects to spend the remainder of the spring vacation in that region. Rules For Women Most All The Big The University of Chicago women are the most free, those of Wiscon sin University most restrained in the Big Ten universities, according to a comparative survey of the rules, in the Ohio State Lantern. Dances are the most strictly regu lated. Iowa has only four formals during the year, and on these oc casions co-eds are allowed to stay out until one o'clock. Men and wo men may not dance together after dinner during the week nor at mid week mjxers of literarjy societies. Michigan girls may stay out one hour later than usual at one fraternity dance during the semester. Chaperanes Very Authoritative Each organization at Wisconsin may have a 9 o'clock formal party once a year and this must be on Sat urday. This university also lays down definite rules about chaperones in that they must be recognized as authoritative by all present. In the case of large dances a committee is scattered about the floor to assist the Engineers Making Trip Should Attend Meeting All engineers who have made ar rangements to make tho annual in spection trip should attend the final meeting which will be held at 5 o' clock Tuesday afternoon in Room 206, Mechanical Engineering build ing. The engineers will be notified of the final arrangements for the trip. The itinerary and all other arrange ments have been completed by the committee in charge. The students will leave Lincoln Sunday night and arrive in Chicago Monday morning. "GOLD FISH" IS LECTURE TOPIC Miss Shanafelt Tells of Indus try Begun In United States Only 58 Years Ago DEVELOPED FROM CARP "Living Gold" was the subject of an interesting illustrated lecture on gold fish presented by Miss Marjorie Shanafelt, member of the museum staff at the weekly Museum lecture, Sunday at three and at four o'clock. Contrary to common belief, stated Miss Shanafelt, golf fish were first introduced into the United States only fifty-eight years ago by a rear admiral of the United States navy who brought them from Japan. Originally From China Gold fish came originally from China where, after a 200 year pro cess of sorting out the light members of the carp family after each hatch ing season, and raising them togeth er, the present forms of gold fish were evolved. The Chinese then tried to develop queer eyes, fins, and the like; in short to make just as grotesque appearing specimens as possible. About this time, however, the Japanese stepped in and with their highly artistic sense, produced the beautiful specimens of today. Chief among these Japanese forms, are the Calico fish, gorgeously color ed and termed the peacock of fish world; the Veil Tail Moor Telescope, with telescope eyes (so-called because of their protrudance from the head), jet black in color, even the eyes, and the most expensive of all gold fish; and the Celestial One, named thusly because its eyes turn heavenward. Excellent slides of the foregoing and many other forms were used to il lustrate the address. These slides which were colored displayed vividly the gorgeous colors which insure fame to these fish. Industry Not Old "Although only fifty-eight years old, the gold fish industry in the United States has taken enormous strides in its period of existence" ex plained Miss Shanafelt", and there is now an output of 4,000,000 annually. This is rather small when compared with the annual Japanese output of 20,000,000, but, of course Japan was some centuries ahead to begin with". The latter part of the lecture was devoted to instruction, illustrated by colored slides, in the raising of gold fish on a small scale. The speaker, with the aid of slides, showed how to build a pool in the yard, explain ed what types of animal and vege table matter were the best for food and stated that as gold fish are canni balistic it is a good plan to remove the young fish, immediately after hatching, into a separate pond Rules for Raising In conclusion, Miss Shanafelt pre sented the Golden Rules for Gold Fish; (1 ) one gallon of water to every inch of fish; (2) no more food than they will eat at once; (3) no sudden change in temperature of the water; (4) green plants in the wa ter. Students Vary In Ten Universities chaperones. It would be impossible to have uni form rules for all Chicago's women students, according to the chairman of the Women's University Council. She considers the Chicago women "responsible and self-respecting." Rules are practically impossible be cause of the diversity of training of Chicago co-eds. On the other hand at. the University of Wisconsin the curfew rings at 9:30. Blue Sunday Rules Kept Northwestern co-eds have no en gagements with men after six, three days a week. Chicago afternoon dates are allowed only on Saturdays, Sundays and hoIWays. Blue Sunday rules are enforced at Iowa and Pur due. The Ohio co-ed may not motor un-chaperoned after 10:30 p. nr. All Big Ten universities require their women students to register all their trips out of town including their place of destination and type of transportation as well as chaperons. WITHDRAWAL OF SCHOOLS STARTS INVESTIGATION Gish May Go to Omaha to Find Cause for Action of Superintendents NO COMPLAINTS RECEIVED Principals Blame Enthusiasts Who Accompany Teamt Charge Sports Becoming Too Prominent Whether Acting Athletic Director Herbert Gish will go to Omaha to in vestigate the reason of the withdraw al of the Omaha teams from the utate tournament is not known. Mr. Gish has been in Manhattan, Kansas, and will return to Lincoln today. John K. Selleck, business manager of athletics, declared "I see no rea son for Mr. Gish to go to Omaha. The University of Nebraska extends them an invitation to the tournament ana if they see fit not to enter, the university should not do anything about it." Mr. Gish is reported to have de clared his intention of going to Om aha as soon as he nnives from Man hattan and finding out the true cnuf.o of tho une3i!Cted tu-ti.m of lie Omaha superintendents. Invewgatlon of the hotels and lodging houses ai whica the boys stayed was made while the tournament was in pro gress. According to Mr. Gish every thing was quiet and ordrl Many Letters of Praise Hundreds of letters prasing the athletic department for the way in which they handled the world's larg est basketball tournament have been received by the athletic department. No complaints about the action of the high school athletes were received by any of the university authorities. An investigation of all possible sources of information concerning the action of the high school players revealed the fact that no inquiries from Omaha had been received by any. No inquiries were received by any university authorities or city authorities. The princiapls of the Omaha high schools have refused to add any thing to their original statement ex cept to intimate that complaints from the parents of the children have been received. They do not blame tl i basketball players, themselves, but lay the blame at the feet of the en thusiasts who accompany the teams. Take Up Too Much Time It is also charged that the basket ball season is taking too much of the students time. It is declared that sports are becoming too prominent in the life of high schools. Secretary A. M. Nelson of the Ne braska state high school athletic as sociation declares that Omaha's with drawal is not alarming and that the tournament will continue without the Omaha schools. Superintendent II. B. Simon, presi dent of the state athletic board of control, expressed himself as being satisfied with the way in which the tournament was handled. He saw none of the dissapation referred to in the Omaha complaint. The general opinion is that the charges against the Nebraska state tournament should be made more specific so that the faults may be corrected. A thorough investigation by Herbert Gish is promised for the near future.
