CAMPUS PUBLICATIONS When The Trairie Schooner makes its debut on the University campus ja, qU8jjtjes must be considered. The the student publications win nave tj,ird essential is that of interest in CONGRATULATIONS MR. COX I Hugh Cox, '20, Lincoln, who has been selected as the next Rhodes scholar from the state of Nebraska, deserves the hearty congratulations of the student body. This scholastic reward for an excellent record in the University begins in October, 1927, when he will leave for Oxford. Mr. Cox has selected law as his course of study during his three years in England. The successful can didate is allowed to enroll fcr any course which he may choose. While in the University of Nebras ka Mr. Cox distinguished himself in other lines of endeavor besides schol arship. He was managing editor and editor of The Daily Nebiaskan, and in his senior year a momber of the Innocents society. He wa also inter ested in sports. These are some of the require ments of the man selected. Scholar ship is the first deciding factor among the candidates applying for the hon or. But the requirements of a man are three-fold. He must also distin guish himself as a leader and his mot Notices reached a point at which all the jour nalistic needs of the students are being met by campus publications. The Daily Nebraskan is the daily newspaper, the Cornhusker is the yearbook, the Awgwan is the humor ous magazine, and The Prairie Schooner will supply the need for a literary magazine. All of these publications are being written and edited by students in the University. Now that the need in every field is filled by one magazine or paper, it is up to each one to see that it does not encroach upon the field cov ered by one of its neighbors. With its field narrowed down to a more or less limited scope each publication should produce the very best in its line. The principles of specialization should apply in this subject as well as in any others. A literary maza rine that is producing only work of a literary character will outdoor 8 ports, and active participa tion in some form of athletics. Twelve candidates applied for thj honor this fall. Mr. Cox has three full years ahead of him between 1927 and 1930. He will succeed Sheldon Teft, '24, a senior in Oxford this year, and we feel sure he will distinguish him self as a worthy representative of the University of Nebraska during his three years of law in that great Eng lish University.

If a method for working it had not been found, the stone industry of Nebras ka could n . t have competed with that of other Mates. Geological formations very largely control the kind and availability of water. The conservation and survey division has consequently been able to assist hundreds of farmers and about seventy towns or cities in im proving their water supply. This service has been extended witnoui cost. The waterpower resources of the state have also been investigated al though detailed information has not fct been published. Manuscript for report on the waterpower has been prepared, however. To date 283 waterpower systems have been built in Nebraska of which 81 are in oper ation. Some of the small projects were abandoned but there has been more development along this line in the past ten years than in any period in the history of the state. Forestry Department Aids The state statutes provide that the conservation and survey division shall appoint the forest resources and parks of the state. Mr. Nieschmidt, a graduate of the Imperial Forestry School of Germany is now state for ester. In his work, he co-operates with Dr. Poole of the botany depart ment, who served for years as state forseter, and with the extension for ester of the College of Agriculture. - The division has published consid erable material on the forest resour ces of the state. A bulletin by Dr. Poole has been very widely distribu ted, being found in practically all of the leading libraries of the country. The industrial survey has not pro gressed as rapidly as had been hoped. However, it is planned next year to begin a systematic study of the in dustries of the state. Investigations have already been made of the beet sugar industry, the apple industry, and of irrigation. The purpose of the industrial surveys is mainly educa tional. It is hoped that as a result of these surveys the people may know their state better. The surveys are also designed to bring about a better understanding of industrial relations. ServesForeign Realty Another very valuable service to able, then the quality of the work done will decay as swiftly as the numbers of publications will fall. BASKETBALL Now that the football season is over, our center of athletic activity turns to the combat of the maple court. Basketball will, for the next three months, occupy the lime-light; it will take up a great deal of news-! eluded over 300 pages. Nebraska is the first state to make an extensive survey of sand resources. Started Cement Making The division has rendered a valu able service to the state in finding a method whereby the thick lime stones along the Platte could be worked with profit A member of the division after investigations con- that the heavy limestone paper space and be the topic of many a discussion. Basketball in Nebras ka high schools is nationally known. But basketball at the University of Nebraska has caused little excite ment in this part of the country. University of Nebraska basketball has been decidedly handicapped in the past and has been held down to the rank of a minor sport. One never realizes the deficiency of his own school until he has had the op portunity to visit other schools or make a study of the conditions at other institutions. University of Ne braska quintets have never had first class equipment nor have they ever 1 had a suitable place in which they might hold suc'fl contests. The new Coliseum is one of the' prides of students and townfolks as welL It is large and roomy and is equipped for nearly any kind of in door game. Best of all it provides a place for the carrying on of the bas ket sport. The new gymnasium will rank with the best of the nation. It now remains to be seen whether this will be the cause of raising the stan dard of basketball or not. At least this season's basket squad will have every want supplied. The University ofNebraska has al ways been a leader in football and track. We now hope that with the r-w advantages the Scarlet and Cream colors will be at the top of the Humour i Valley flag staff at the mi 1 of the present season.

Floor FouA the stat is handled under what if known as foreign realty. The division is required by law to investigate and report on foreign realty sold or of fered for sale in Nebraska when called upon by an Interested party in the state. Likewise, the division must investigate and report on oil, min eral and gas structures and proper ties situated outside the state for which leases are being offered for sale in Nebraska. When investigations show that mis representation or fraud is being car ried on in any such case the conser vation and survey division warns the operators and they au subject to prosecution by the state attorney general if they continue to operate within the state. Through surveys by other states and government surveys, the division has an opportunity to get informa tion quickly concerning such matters from disinterested observers. When the division is unable to get the de sired information, a man is sent to investigate it himself. By thus keep ing illegal operators out of the state, the conservation and survey division has saved the people of the state mil lions of dollars. Information Furnished We have now covered in brief one phase of the work of the conserva tion and survey division, that of in vestigating the various natural re sources of the state. Of no less im portance is the function of the divis ion of making known its findings. Its work in this respect is carried on along three lines: information, pub licity, and photography. The division is constantly called cn to furnish information determined from some of its numerous investi gations. The department has issued about fifty bulletins, the bulk of them dealing with soil survey, geological survey, forestry resources, and in dustrial development. These bulletins are free to the public and are used very generally in the state. A re sume of the work of the division is made each year for publication in the Blue Book. It is planned to em ploy a man to extend state publicity next year in an attempt to make Ne braska better known to Nebraskans.

SPEIEffi lOtli and "O" JUL, 4 itill and moving pictures. Thousands of still pictures of Nebraska and Ne braska life have been taken. The di vision is now co-operating with the railways in making a photographic survey of the state by cities and counties. Last summer 750 pictures covering every phase of industrial life were taken in central and west ern Nebraska. This is typical of the work being done along this line. Those pictures are extensively used for special articles about the state, for bulletins, technical publications, and are supplied liberally to various state societies. Motion Picture Taken The division now hr.s about 110,. 000 feet of motion picture film deal ing with the industries, geography, geology, and institutions of the state. Nebraska was the first state to at tempt to make the resources of the (Continued from Page One.) state known to the people through in the California Institute of Tech- attempting to make them known to the people of the atate. It Is being done with the belief that a people, in order to develop a country, must have a knowledge of the conditions under which they must live and the resources which they have to aid them. To accomplish this purpose, careful investigation to determine the conditions is first necessary. Then the results must be made known that the people of the state may profit from the investigations. It is these two aims that the conservation and survey division is fulfilling as its share of the service contribution of the Uni versity to the state. Students Will Discuss Christianity motion pictures. The division also has hundreds of slides on subjects similar to those covered in the motion picture work. The division distributes the films' through the state and some have been shown throughout the Uni ted States. The division co-operates with the United States Department of Agriculture in exchange of films. The state statutes make one other important provision concerning tl conservation and survey division. They give it police power for the en forcement of the various regulations it has power to establish. This power is not abused but gives the members of the staff of the division an oppor tunity to go freely through the state and make their surveys. We see then that the conservation and survey division is fulfilling a big mission in investigating the phy sical conditions of the state and in nology will discuss the relationship of Science and Religion. A popular speaker to student au diences on social and international questions will be Kirby Page and Mcrdecai Johnson, president of the Howard University will be the spokes man for the negro race in America. be Howard Thurman. Henry Hallam Tweedt, professor In Yale Divinity School, will address the students on the intellectual approach to problems of Christian faith Glenn Clark, author of "The Soul's Sincere Desire" and of many articles in th Atlantic Monthly will discuss pravi-i. and Dr. Edith H.
