STASTNY'S WORK DESCRIBED Six Years Spent in Medical Service Abroad by Omaha Physician Told of in Book Six years spent in medical service abroad by Dr. Olga Stastny, Omaha physician and former student of the University of Nebraska, has been described in a chapter of "Certain Samaritans," a book by Dr. Esther Eohl Lovejoy of New York which has just been published. About 54 hundred sick and hungry refugees who fled from the turks in late 1922 and early 1923 were cared for by the staff under Dr. Stastny, on Macronissi Island, off the main land of Greece, and west of Asia Minor, in the Aagean sea, where three hospital pavilions were located. Although the refugees were given medical attention, many died soon after landing due to lack of food and water. . Dr. Stastny realized the dan ger of her position if the refugees became unruly because of lack of supplies, but she was determined to stay cn the island. Her presence at the head of 250 Foldierg who were placed under her command, inspired confidence. The population im:r eased nntil there were seven camps. Some of the nurses and physicians took the typhus fever and Dr. Stastny's assistant.Dr. Poum pouras, died. But in spite of all the dangers and difficulties, she stayed on the) island for five months, leaving her post but twice for a few hours during this time. Stories of many of the nurses and physicians of the American Women's Hospitals are epical in character but the heroine of that time was Dr. Olga Stastny on Marconissi Island. Dr. Stastny had previously been decorated in France with the Medaille de hi Reconnaissance Francaise. For her work in Greece she was invested with the Cross of St George. Dormitories to be Self-Governed The men's dormitories now under construction at Iowa State College are to be self-governed. It will be the policy of the university autho rities to make as few rules as possible concerning the dormitories. The only rule laid down by the college will be that all men living in tha dormitories eat in the dining halL Student Employment Bureau Secures Large Number or Over 600 jobs, earning a total of 147.407.83 for Nebraska students, were secured by the Bureau of Stu dent Employment during the school year of 1926-27. This is an increase of S7.000 over the 1925-26 esttimate. Two hundred and thiry-seven of the 600 jobs were permanent. The bal ance was part time work. Although only 338 of the 847 ap plicants could be aided, it should be remembered that a few applicants have withdrawn from school. Others have found employment themselves. The Bureau, in its report, states that it has helped practically all the stu dents who really had to have employ., ment in order to stay in school. Most of the applicants who did not secure job were those with whom work was optional.

A Southern Girl was presented in a most delightful manner by Eliz abeth Woodbury. It was written by Monologue. And is the character ization of a young girl who is noth ing but a butterfly. Miss Wood bury's well modulated voice carried out the southern dialect in a realistic and pleasing manner. The last play to be presented was "The Wolf," by Eugene Walters. The play was presented in a masterly fashion by Jack Rank. The play is one which requires much skill in characterization and Mr. Rank ful filled this requirement with excep tional ability. McDonald, the Amer (Continued on Page Three.) Students Positions ways helps those first who need work. The employment situation has been good throughout the year as the work of the Bureau indicates. Business men especially are taking advantage of the service offered in distribution of bills. All detail and supervision is furnished from the office in the Temple building, thus relieving the business man of worries over petty details. The Bureau prides itself on its speedy service along this line. Reliability of the students has been the great factor in causing the in crease of business and marked effi ciency in the Bureau. So reliable and faithful have the individual workers been that many times, an odd Job will turn out to be perman ent employment for the lucky and in dustrious man.

Sears of the Botany department yes terday afternoon at Vespers, in a talk on "Relations Between Religion and Education." The speaker went on to say that religion is the effort of an individual to adapt himself to his surroundings, an effort which is a constant struggle and a highly personal affair due to the fact that there is so great a dif ference between people. "Rebellious souls" are found in every community, souls that need to be guided and instructed; this can only be done through education. Some consider it the fashion to hold religion under the "coat sleeve;" others consider it the fashion to do so with education, but not to such a great extent, thereby making it pos sible to bring about a belief in edu cation, which will lead to the under standing of each other," Dr. Sears pointed out. Dr. Sears closed his address with the phrase, "Spiritualism embraces everything great." Margaret Hyde led the service and a violin solo was given by Dorothy Howard.

Bergsten, business manager. On Monday 1000 of the yearbooks were given out and as many on Tuesday. "To date the cash sales compare very favorable with those of last year," states Bergsten.

BRITISH AUTHORITY VISITS AG COLLEGE Sir John Russell, Prominent British Agriculturalist, Discusses Farm ing Systems in England Sir John Russell, director of the Rothamsted experiment station in England, addressed a convocation at the College of Agriculture at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning on the sub ject "Systems of Agriculture in Eng land." The speaker outlined three factors, in beginning his talk, which affect English apiculture. These are the historic, natural, and economic condi tions of the country. Some of the methods in use in Englund 2500 years ago may be traced to present-day methods employed in that country. Under the earliest system of agricul ture one-third of the land was put into a winter grain, one-third in a spring grain, and the remaining third was allowed to remain uncul tivated each year, Practically no livestock were to be found on these crude farms. Three Types of Farming Found Three types of farming are now to be found in England, according to Sir John. The first method described is rarely successful for an attempt is made, through intensification, to raise everything needed on the farm itself. The second method emphasizes grazing. Grazing requires more land but provides the largest return for each day's labor. The grazing in dustry is largely responsible for the large number of country people en gaging in fox-hunting during the winter months. The third system was described by Sir John as that of "adaptation and specialization," The livestock from the hilly western counties is fattened on the products of the crop belt in the eastern countries. Most of the livestock of the empire comes from this yestern section. The dairy industry is carried on to a considerable extent in England, but more attention is paid to milk and cheese production than to ice cream and similar commodities so common in the United States.
