JONES TALKS TO HIGH STUDENTS Editor of Lincoln State Journal Says Hard Work Best Train ing for Journalist DECLARES SUCCESS EASY "Hard work and the habit of in dustry, devotion and truth, here you have the cornerstone of success in newspaper work and in any other calling that invites youwhen you are at last ready for your careers," was Mr. Will Owen Jones' summary of his talk on "Journalism" broadcast from the University studio Wednes day afternoon. The address was one of a series of vocational talks which are being broadcast to the high school students of the state under the aus pices of the Junior Chamber of Com merce. Mr. Jones is editor of the Nebraska State Journal. A peculiar glamor surrounds the "trade of gathering and writing news" which is responsible for the de. sire of many young people to em brace it as their life work, according to Mr. Jones. The question of proper preparation is continually coming up among young journalistic aspirants. Genuine Interest Needed "Newspapering" is the most all embracing of callings in the demands it makes upon those who pursue it, is the opinion of Mr. Jones. A gen uine interest in all things and an ac curate knowledge of a wide range of subjects is a necessary requisite. One must also know where to go to find in books or in men tht facts not stored in his own brain. Mr. Jones' idea of education, whether for "newspaper ing" or some other calling is one that will "fit fui' life; thai, prepares one for broad, generous, useful living." Decision on the character of one's life work is not necessary while still (Continued on Page Four.) Cox Will Judge Musical Contest in South Dakota Prof. Henry G.

Daily Nebraskan Inquiring Reporter Every day be asks a question from different students picked at Random on the campus. Today's Question; "What do you think of the second-year pledging bill now up before the Nebraska State 1 egislature ?' ' Vernon Ketring, '29, Denver, Colo rado, Arts and Science. "Second year pledging is proposed by men who know nothing of the actual conditions of campus life. The theory that student life will become more democratic is entirely erron eous." Maurice W. Konkel, '29, Cheyenne, Wyoming, Arts and Science. "Second-year pledging has its ad vantages, but under the existing housing conditions such a rule would hinder th University. In time it would york out, but the change as stated in the bill is too abrupt, and will be disastrous to many fraterni ties and sororities." Ruth Clendenin, '28, Lincoln, Fine Arts. "I am for the bill. It would give the students a chance to know what chev are doing. I hope the bill is passed." Elisabeth Tracy, 27, Lincoln, Fine Arts. "I think it is the only thing for it would give the fraternities and soror ities and the students a better chance to judge one another. It would also eliminate many of the students who come to the university for only one year." Aldea Berquist, '29, Hastings, Fine Arts. "Second-year pledging is the only thing.

The same thing was true in the 220 where Wyatt had a two or three yard lead at the 150 yards and managed to coast in third, barely nosed out of second despite a muscle pulled twenty yards or more from the finish. Inability to get warm was Coach Schulte's explanation of Locke's double defeat at the hands of Phil Barber, former California University captain and sprinter. The day, Coach Schulte said, was a cold drizzly day, just such a day, as the last two or three here in Lincoln. Coach Schulte ettributed the injuries to Wyatt and Stephens also to failure to get warm. Distance men warmed up for almost a half hour before their races and did succeed in getting warmed up. As a result they ran some beautiful races. But the sprinters couldn't do this. The result was slow time and the two injuries which wrecked the Huskers chances of giving the Golden Bears a battle. Locke was hailed by the Califor- nians as a wonderful sport. After his defeat at the hands of Barber in the 100, he trotted over to shake hands with the Calif ornian and to congrat- (Continued on Page Four.) Dr. Candy To Speak To Math Club Tonight Dr. A. L.

Starrels in his address on "Sanity in Religion", presented at World For um Wednesday noon at the Grand Hotel. Rabbi Starrels explained that he was giving only his own opinions ant" that that was all it was worth. He discussed the subject tinder the three heads, rationalism, authority, and mysticism, which were dealt with at World Forum earlier in the year in a series of addresses on reliirion. ''WLai aLuut liuiuiialibui?" asket) the speaker. 'Tm for it. I wish we had a good deal more of it It is salu tary to constantly recast and retest faith by the criteria of reasonable thought." Rabbi Starrels pointed out that reasonable thought today is con vinced that witchcraft is a supersti tion although the Bible accepts it. He explained that he thought the casting out of demons and devils be longs to a more primitive state of development than our own. Likewise he admitted that he had discarded all the miracles as they did not substan tiate his faith. "To me, God works by law," he declared. "Even the ethical and moral ideals en ven us are subject to change," Rab bi Starrels declared. "I don't like tLe idea of finality in any department of life. I rather like the words growth or development, or evolution. Reli gion ;s subject to evolution. Instead of fiMJity in religion, I believe in progietsive revelation. I firmly be lieve that in 100 years Christianity will be finer than it is today, that Judaism will be finer than it ie to dT and that we will hae a finer conception of God than we have to dy." What could be accepted as author ity was diBCUsaed by the Rabbi. He showed fallacies underlying the ac ceptance of belief in an infallible church, book, or person. In regard lo an infallible book, he stated that hu saw no reason why we should stop short of all the world's treasury of ir.Fphed literature. He defined the ultimate authority as the integrity of ore's own experience. In closing he pointed out that ib titnaiism was not all, that feeling was rven more fundamental, quoting H. G. Wells that "Until men sets llie .Gi.il iflea he has no beginning and works to no end."

MISSOURI SCHOOL HEAD ENTERTAINED, Chancellor Mumford of Missouri Uni versity Guest at Dinner; Avery Is Also Present The Faculty Men'B Dinner clab held a dinner at the University club Tuesday evening in honor cf Chan cellor and Mrs. Avery and Dean F.

Chancellor Avery, who was intro duct'd bv Dean Le Rossignol spoke briefly of how glad he was to be back to Lincoln among friends. j'rofe'Por Mumford, dean of the Agricultural College and at present chancellor of the University of Mis souri, chose to speak on research and. its relation to a university. " A university is not a real univer sity unless it does work in research, Dean Mumford Baid in part, "for the aim of it is to add to the knowledge of the world. In order to do this work propei.'y it is necessary tor tne lac- ulty to be engaged in the work jib well as having a graduate college employed in the same pursuit." To test the faculty members and their shil'ly, Mr. Mumford said he would hive ca:h member turn in a piece of work to be judged; to those who showed a real genius for the work he would give fewer undergrad uate classes that they might give more t'ine to research problems. Then in order to promote the interest in such work he would establish a grad uate co!l?ge to help the competent profeaf-ors curry on research. With such a combination Mr. Muw- f ord believes a university would real ly be contributing something worth while and t .r the good of the world. Story ky LeRossijrnol Broadcast Over Hadia Dean J. E.
