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

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

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.

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.

Another very valuable service to

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 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.
The photographic work covers both

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.

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
