WANTED: 4 "Dollar-A-Year" Men
In the Regents' investigation of the student car
problem one significant point has been unearthed at
the University of Michigan, where the authorities spend
$8000 annually to enforce the regulation.
Such a method as Michigan's could hardly be af
forded here, since the Regents have already announced
the emptiness of the University's pocketbook, and the
need for higher student fees. Four people are employed
at Michigan to devote their entire time to enforcement
of the regulations under direction of the dean of
students.
Unless four "dollar-a-year" men could be found
in this vicinity, some more economical method of en
forcing restrictions will have to be devised.
portunity to collect the opinions of those in other sec
tions of the country is offered.
LAST WARNING
Many, many times has the N.club requested Uni
versity students to refrain from wearing letters won in
high school for athletic achievement. Now the president
of the club intimates that if the condition is not rem
edied soon, something moro effective than "making the
request" wall be necessary.
When a student enrolls in the University of Ne
braska it becomes his school. He should consider him
self a representative of this institution, rather than
the high school from which he graduated. When rules
are made by his school, he should Live up to them.
This old ax has been ground many times before.
The first time it was explained minutely why the N
club did not favor high school letters on the campus.
Then the incoming freshmen were warned. What lies
in the future only the N club can say, but that austere
body can make it very uncomfortable for the offenders
of such a rule.
There is no need for further action. Every man
should realize that when he wears hia high school let
ter, consciously or unconsciously, he places his high
school above his University. The wearing of letters is
not being discouraged; but the way to accomplish this
is to get into athletics and win an N, which after all
means more than some letter which spells honor in the
home town, but here it is just another part of the
alphabet.

THE CONVENTION BEGINS
Today the student body of the University of Ne
braska begins a three-day period in which it is host to
the governing bodies of the leading colleges and uni
versities of the country.
Today some three hundred odd delegates will be
gin three days of discussion of significant student prob
lems. For more than a month the Nebraska Student
Council has been getting ready for the convention.
They report that everything is in readiness for the re
ception of the delegates.
Students of the University are welcome to attend
any of the general meetings of the convention. Profes
sor Fling of the history department will speak this
evening. Professor Todd of Northwestern will speak
Saturday morning. These addresses with the topical
discussions in Morrill Hall from 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock
Friday morning are the meetings of chief interest to
the student body.
Student government i the chief interest of the
convention. Delegates will discuss the extent of student
government in their schools, will attempt to define
what its limits should be. Student control of publica
tions, of participation in discipline, and of control of
extra-curricular activities will all come up for consid
eration.
Fraternities will receive a thorough eoins: over.
Scholastic, rushing, financial, and co-operative buying
proDiems will all be considered.
Work of the federation during the past year in
regard to curricula for colleges and universities will
be considered. The work of the speakers bureau which
has attempted to facilitate tha interchange of lectures
by outstanding college speakers, will be re-organized.
This gives a bare insight into the definite prob
lems which leaders in student government throughout
the country will discuss. There has been no talk of
solution of problems. They are here to discuss them
to exchange ideas. And therein probably lies the big
gest single value of the conference. In the mingling
of students from every corner of the globe, in their
interchange of ideas and experiences will come an ex
tended consciousness of ultimate value.
Nebraska students are fortunate in having the
convention in Lincoln. To those dnUrested in some of
the more s.gnificant student problems, a splendid op-
Oxford and Cambridge students yesterday broke

NO MINOR SPORTS
Syracuse University, because of an alleged non
athletic student body, has dropped boxing, golf, hoc
key, tennis, wrestling, soccer, and fencing from its
list of minor sports and cancelled schedules in all of
them.
Football was not mentioned, so Nebraska inter
sectional rival is still with us on that score.
Such a drastic step in minor sports has not even
been thought of by the average University. This
action appears really too drastic, because dn many
institutions both varsity competition and intramural
athletics flourish. Sport authorities at Syracuse in
tend to spend their time with intramural athletics.
Undoubtedly one of the primary purposes of a
sports department should be to foster intramural ath
letics, but when a University is fortunate enough, as
is Nebraska, to have interest in both varsity competi
tion and intramural sports, so much the better.
Syracuse's student body is to be pitied, if it3 in
terest in athletics has dwindled until the1 sports depart
ment has to make a concentrated effort to improve the
situation.

"In order for the consumers in
New York City or Boston to get the
eggs from Nebraska the nine distinct
services of assembling, grading,
packing, storing, transportation, fi
nancing, risk taking, Belling and dis
tributing must be rendered in some
way or other," says F. E. Mussehl,
chairman of the poultry department,
College of Agriculture.
"Nearly sixty per cent of Nebras
ka eggs go to Detroit, Philadelphia,
New York City, Boston, Washington,
and other eastern points where com
petition is very keen, so we must
produce quality eggs in order that
we may be paid for our trouble of
getting the eggs to market.
"Eggs are produced on over nine
ty percent of the 124,000 farms in
Nebraska and there is a marketable
surplue at certain times of the year
so our first big job is to assmble and
collect the eggs to points where the
grading and some of the other serv
ices can be rendered. Prompt, effi
cient . assembling can improve egg
quality so that Nebraska eggs will
sell at competitive markets for at
least two cents per dozen more than
they do at present.
"There are from seven to eight
thousand agencies that help to as
semble eggs at present as stores,
cream and produce stations, and
small assembling types. At the pres
ent time the volume of business is
so small that the cost of collecting
is not kept down to the lowest point.
Grocerymen often buy the eggs, but
seldom make any money on them.
They do it as an accommodation to
their farmer customers, and the egg
income is invested in the store.
"In order to do the job right some
method of assembling the eggs from
April 1 to October 1, and of placing
them under refrigeration within seventy-two
hours after they are laid
must be evolved. Our eggs must
have quality if they are to meet the
keen competition they have in the
world's best markets and no single
factor affects egg quality as much as
refrigeration."

A speakers' bureau has been main

now divided. "Some of the girls
think it is silly," she added.
Strong favor of the r,an was ex
pressed by the Zeu Tau Alpha pres
ident. "We are entering all sports,"
she srid enthusiastically, "and think
it is a 'dandy idea." Several other
sororities expressed similar sentiments.
The Kappa Alpha Theta president
expressed the Theta sentiment as be
ing indifferent. "We have no girls
here who are interested. Personally,
I know very little about the plan."
The intramural sport program for
women is a new feature in the uni
versity. The success of intramurals
for university men has proved so
successful that a similar plan was or
ganized for sororities and dorm

seems to be different than that of
the Americans but they are good
people and determined to succeed.
Women enjoy the rights and privil
eges that the menj do and they are
considered on an equal plane with
the men. When a man divorces a
woman, he must support her if she
is out of work. Single women are
given the preference in seeking jobs.
Unions are prevalent throughout the
country and they govern almost

"Communism has beenf dead in
Russia since 1922. This was effective
