Bulletin Boards Outside "U" Hall
Were Formerly
Tha 4rnn framework of the two
knllot.in boards which now stand on
either side of the east entrance to
U Hall served from 181 untu iv
as the Eleventh Street entrances to
the University campus.
During the greater part oi wis
period the campus did not extend
east of Twelfth Street and was com
pletely enclosed by a high iron xence,
wii.n t W&me necessary in 1917 to
extend the campus across Twelfth
Street it was seen tnnt it wouia noi
be possible to continue the lence.
The fence Itself was torn down in
1922. The gates, however, were ien
until s year later, when they were
made into the bulletin boards and
placed at the entrance to U Hall.
Although the' fence and gates were
ornamental and added to the goner

real purpose in their erection was

GREEKS TO HAVE
BANQUET MAY 13
James Davidson Of Omaha Is
Asked To Speak At Inter
Fraternity Affair
WILL AWARD PLAQUES
Mr. James E. Davidson, president
of the Nebraska Power Company, of
Omaha, and former president of the
American Electrical Association, has
been asked to act as the chief speak
er at the annual Interfraternity
banquet to be held Thursday even
ing, May 13, it was announced yes
terday. Wendell E. Berge, chair
man of the speakers' committee for
the coming banquet is experiencing
some difficulty in seeming speakers
for the Inter-Fraternity affair. Mr,
Davidson has not yet accepted the in
vitation to be the chief speaker of
the evening due to a conflict in en
gagements but the committee hopes
to hear from the Omahan within
the next few days.
Tickets for the Inter-Fraternity
banquet will be distributed early
next week and will be sold at one
dollar each. Fraternities are re
quested to close their house tables on
that evening and attend the annual
festivity en masse. Several fra
ternities have already taken action
to close their tables May 13 and it
is expected that the remainder will
follow at the meetings next Mon
day evening.
The program, which includes two
orchestras playing during the serv
ing of the banquet, will be shorter
than in former years according to
William Trumbull, who is in charge
of the banquet. There will probably
be three speakers at the most, on
the toast list. Fraternity scholar
ship plaques will be awarded follow
ing the banquet as in former years.
MAY BREAKFAST
PLANS COMPLETED
Will Start Affair at 8:30 With Pro
gram Later; Judges For Sing
Are Chosen
Plans for the May Morning break
fast to be held on Saturday morn
ing ,May 8, at 8:30, were completed
at the meeting of the Associated
Women's Student Board held Tues
day noon, at Ellen Smith Hall. A
program of dances and music will be
presented at 9:15 and the inter-sorority
sing will begin at 9:45.
The judges for the sing will be
Howard Kirkpatrick, Mrs. Carrie B.
Raymond, and Mrs. Lillian Helms
Polley. The cup given to the soror
ity winning first place, will be the
possession of the sorority for one
year. Phi Mu won the cup last year,
The sing will probably be held on the
Engineer's bridge and the breakfast
wil be served on the campus between
U Hall and the Administration build
ing. The Tassels in Gypsy costumes
will serve the breakfast which the
committee is planning in box form.
The May morning breakfast has been
held twice on the campus of the Uni
versity of Nebraska and corresponds
to the inter-fraternity sing which
takes place later in the year and is
under the auspices of the Kosmet
Klub.
Aikman Sends Forest
Soils to Greenhouse
A shipment of forest soils for the
experimental growth of trees was re
ceived at the greenhouse on the Uni
versity campus recently. Mr. John
Aikman, a graduate student in the
department of Botany, is making an
ecological survey of forests in eastern
Nebraska. He spent several days
last week in the northeastern part of
the state securing these forest soils.
University Gates
hind enclosing the campus was to
keep the public who wished a loaf
ing place and general parking ground
from utilizing the University campus
as such.
The Board of Regents finally de
came convinced that they were not
doing much good by calling the police
every time some one came strolling
in for the evening and it was decid
ed to erect the fence. By doing this
the penalty for breaking into the
University campus was increased
from a small fine at the police station
to a penitentiary offense.
At a certain time every night the
night watchman locked the gates and
no one could get either L. or out of
the campus until . he again appeared
early in the morning with the key.
After the fence was torn down the
gates stood open at their usual places
for one year. They were then re
moved and made into bulletin boards.
NEW OFFICER COMING HERE
Captain Skinner of Fort Benning to
Arrive About June 1
Captain Russel Skinner, who has
been in training at Fort Benning,
has been ordered to Nebraska and
will arrive here about June 1, ac
cording to information received by
Colonel Jewett this week.
Captain Morris H. Forbes, who has
also been stationed at Fort Benning
in the Officers Infantry School, has
been ordered to the Presiiio. Cap
tain Forbes was an instructor in
Military Tactics at Nebraska last
year.

A MOTHER TALK
Mrs. Roy Green, '15, Speaks At
Weekly Service On The
Viewpoint of a Mother"
MOTHER'S DAY OBSERVED
Vesper services held Tuesday even
ing at Ellen Smith Hall were in ob
servance of Mother's Day. Mrs. Roy
Green, '15, spoke on "The View Point
of the Mother."
"What Motherhood means comes
only from personal experience; one
must grow in tha understanding of
love, learn to know what fear is, and
a thousand other details must be
understood, and only when one is a
Mother is this comprehension possi
ble," Mrs. Green declared.
"Motherhood teaches one a lot,'
she continued, "We find we can get
angry angry at others and angry at
the daughters and sons, yet the great
love is there just the same. Mothers
have a different sense of value than
do those whp are not Mothers. We
find that there is just one American
group in all the world that is our
family. Around this family are
built all the hopes and ambitions of
a life time. Every thought of the
Mother is for this family, she is of
ten apt to forget that there is any
one else, that there is a vast and
thronging world just outside the door
of her home."
"Many mothers lose their person
ality," said Mrs. Green, as she
pointed out that they are but a me
chanical factor in the daily routine of
this life long job of Mothers.
Girls Trained for Careers Today
"Mothers are not trained for Moth
erhood today, but they are being
trained for careers. Many mothers
are continuing their careers and in
some cases the scheme works fine
but there are very few people," Mrs
Green suggested, "who are able to
step into the home and take the place
of Mother.
"The biggest pay for the Mother
is the accomplishment of the desires
she has had for her child. Every
mother in her heart has planned for
her child the sort of character she
wishes him to have. Your Mother
wants you to be the very best kind
of a person and her ambitions are
the very highest, her ideals the no
blest for you. The only way you can
repay your Mother is to look after
your children in a worthwhile man
ner," Mrs. Green concluded.
Grace Modlin lead the ser
vice and the special Mother's Day
music was furnished by Thelma King
and Neva Robbins.

BIZAD COLLEGE
MAKES CHARGES
Divide College Into Depart
ments of Business Organi
zation and Economics
ADD ADVANCED COURSES
Various changes have been made
in the curriculum of the College of
Business Administration for the com
ing year (1926-27.) The most radi
cal change is the division of the col
lege into two departments, the col
lege having formerly only one de
partment. The two departments are
the department of Business Organi
zation and Management with Prof.
Oscar Ross Martin as chairman and
the department of Economics with
Prof. George O. Virtue as chairman.
Among the new courses added in both
these departments are courses in sec-ond-yead
accounting, the course in
the Principles of Accounting serving
as an introduction to this new course ;
courses in Business Statistics, in Busi
ness Finance and in Advanced Money
and Banking have also been added.
A course in Agricultural Credit has
also been listed but will not be offer
ed next year. In the department of
Economics four new courses in grad
uate work will be given.
A slight change in requirements
has also been made. Students hav
ing three years of foreign language
in the high school may take history
or literature instead of a foreign
language. Those students who have
had only two years of foreign lan
guage and that in a single language,
will be required to have either six
hours of the same language of ten
hours of another language. For the
philosophy requirements of six hours,
three of these hours must be in psy
chology.
As regards specialization in this
college, electives are now so arranged
as to supplement the work in which
the student is specializing.
REPEAT STUDENT
WORKER CONTEST
"The Nation" Will Again Hold Con

dred dollars and a second prize of
fifty dollars.
The contest is open to graduates
and undergraduate students, men and
women who were enrolled in some
college or university in the spring of
1926, and actually worked as labor
ers for at least two months in the
summer of 1926.
The contestant must give names.
class, and college, names and ad
dresses of employers and dates of

Winners will be announced and
prizes awarded not later than Janu
ary 1927.
All manuscripts are to be sent to
The Nation," 20 Vesey Street, New
York City, New York, not later than

Art Expresses Spiritual Unity of
Historical Periods, Says Fling
That the artist expresses the life of
ripriod, that history deals with
pericis of spiritual unity and that art
expresses that spiritual unity, was
emphasized by Prof. F. M. Fling in
an informal lecture in the Art Gallery
Tuesday evening.
Different periods express them
selves in different ways. In Egypt,
expression was gained m architect
ure, in Greecer through statuary pre
eminently, later uowever, p'Sinting
was developed. Today some people
believe that the artist has exhausted
the resources of painting and that
one must go beyond painting to other
forms, such as colored light, for ex
pression.
Art has a definite relation to oth
er forms of culture. The Greek
mathematics was a mathematics of
magnitude, today wo are primarily
interested in the mathematics of
functions and relations. We differ

INSPECTION TO
BE MADE FRIDAY
Student Cadet Officers Will
Be In Charge Of Inspec
tion For Rating
PARADE AT 1 O'CLOCK
Student cadet officers will be prac
tically in charge of the Blue Star
war department inspection program
at the University of Nebraska Fri
day, May 7, when officers from
Washington visit the Nebraska R. O.
T. C. for the annual war department
examination. The instructors will di
rect which phases of the work they
wish to examine, and it will be up to
the cadet captains and majors to
wheel their units for the final show
down. The regular army instructors
will retire to the background that
day while their students display what
they have learned. Colonel Jewett,
commandant of the unit has perfect
ed plans to this effect.
The inspection will start Friday
morning with indoor examination of
theoretical work. Juniors will be
quizzed on machine guns, field forti
fications, military law, and other sub
jects, while the seniors will stand ex
amination on military history, howit
zer weapons, military administration,
etc. Three companies of the bafcic
course, to be designated, will be call
ed on to represent the unit in the
morning examination of basic theor
etical work. )
Examine Unit for Theoretical Work
Time will not permit detailed ex
amination of every class member for
the theoretical work, and of the re
presentative units picked out, the in
specting officers will judge for the
whole regiment.
The regiment will turn out en
masse in the afternoon for a parade,
review, and inspection by the visiting
board. The parade will be scheduled
for 1:00.
Cadets will be excused from all
classes which may conflict with the
inspection. For this one day the mil
tary will reign on the campus.
Colonel Jewett has been inspect
ing the companies at drill periods for
the past three weeks in preparation
for the Blue Star final tests. Minor
points needing correction have been
pretty well taken care of in the course
of these inspections, and the regi
ment is expected to be in top-top
shape.
A luncheon in honor of the visit
ing board will be given Friday noon
at the Hotel Lincoln by Scabbard
and Blade, honorary military society
of the advanced course. Chancellor
Avery, the regents, executive dean
Engberg, and Colonel Dockery of the
seventh corps" area headquarters
have been invited.
Following inspection of the Nebras
ka unit the board will go to Omaha to
inspect the Creighton university unit,
which this year was recommended for
inspection for the first time since the
Creighton corps -was established sev
eral years ago.
from the Greeks as much in mathe
matics as in art, for both are part of
the. same attitude towards reality.
The real resources of art are the
intuitions and feelings of man. An
artist is not a rationalizer. There
has been a recent reaction against
rationalizing on the continent, a
movement which will probably be felt
more in America in the near future.
We have been working on intellect
ual development and neglecting intu
ition, but there is a swinging of the
pendulum in the other direction and
we are beginning to realize that we
cannot solve the problems of life
through intellect alone.
During the recent period of great
interest in natural science, the feel
ing for poetry and art has been lost.
We are now in a transition stage and
cubism represents the last word in
