The interior of the build ing has not been worked on as yet.

A general notion of the arrangement of the first floor rooms can be obtained, however. The corridor extends throughout the en tire length of the building, from east to west, with class rooms on both sides of the hall. A portion of the heat tunnel has been completed, extending from the west end of the building. The tun nel is constructed of reinforced con crete.

Not to gain skill in self-defense with an umbrella, as was once urged by a certain eastern woman's col lege when it. offered a class in fenc ing, but rather to get some first class exercise and an hour's credit, do fifteen girls gather every Monday and Wednesday night at 5 o'clock for Dr. It. G. Clapp's beginning class in fencing. At first fencing was one of the sponsored arts of early chivalry and therefore one of the rndiments in the education of every youth of gen tle birth. It then passed to a military requirement and this made a number of well qualified teachers available for private lessons and club teach ing. In the early days of gymnastics the ex-drill sergeant, or maitre d'armes, was the family and school physical director and naturally intro duced the foils and sabres along with the setting-up exercises. Kept in Demand The habit of duelling on the con tinent lingered on so long after the need for it had vanished that maitre d'armes and salle d'armes where one could keep in training were in de mand. For this reason, particularly, the art of fencing is much better known in Europe than it is in Amer ica. There are at least three of four fencing clubs in every leading Euro pean city. During the last twenty years abun dant opportunity for women to enter meets and tournaments has been made, with the result that in Europe a great many good women fencers (Continued on Page 3.)

HERBERT HOOVER Herbert Clark Hoover, the authen tic Horatio Alger hero of a modern industrial America, now stands in the first row of the candidates for a Pres idential nomination. Thanks to that fact and to the interest it arouses, plus the efforts of as devoted a corps of professional and amateur biog raphers as ever undertook to write columns of copy about the same man, he is easily one of the most famous figures of his generation.

Walsh went to the State univer sity at the age of twenty-one. Re ceiving his degree in 1884, he im mediately went west thereby dupli cating the experience of many of those men who are now his colleagues ;n the -Capitol. For ii is an interest ing fact that many of the most dis tinguished figures in the Senate stud ied law at some Middle Western uni versity, then bolted west immediate ly, in the first year following their graduation. Stubbornly Independent Walsh, in the Senate, has proved himself as stubbornly independent as there seemed good reason for fear ing he might be, back in 1910. Com ing from a State where corporate wealth is particularly well entrench ed, he has shown himself particularly free from corporation influence. Successively Walsh has provided the stimulus for more investigations of more captains of Industry,, mom presidents of trusts, more millionaire candidates for high public office, and more executives of public utilities and banks than any other member of tho SSenate. Yet it has never been suggested that Walsh is an enemy of capital. Teapot Dome, of course, was the case that made Walsh's method ofi handling a political mystery a first I (Continued on Paga 2.) Alumna Tells Of Experience On Newspapers "If you want to associate with corpses, make buddies of policemen, embrace unwed mothers, console murderesses, and be high-hatted by Fifth Avenue butlers by all means go into newspaper work." ' This is the advice tendered aspir ing journalists by Miss Grace Rob inson, well-known New York news paper woman and graduate of the University of Nebraska, in the open ing paragraph of an article "Situa tion Wanted Female," which ap pears in March 17 issue of the Lib erty magazine. Lived in Omaha In her article she gives an account of her early life in Omaha, followed by her university career here. "At the University of Nebraska," she writes in the article, "I studied under a young professor named Gass. I was preparing to become a teacher of English, and in the semi-cloistered confines of campus life felt I would be content to pass my whole exist ence in the uni's musty old depart ment of rhetoric. " 'You should go into newspaper work,' Professor Gass said one day. 'You are always late with your themes, but on a newsppaer you would be forced to turn in your work on time.' Began on Lincoln Paper "So determined was he to see me start that he persuaded a friend of his, the editor of a Lincoln paper, to give me some assignments," con tinues the story. "They were small stuff mostly society notes and in writing my copy I was so fearful of the exact wording that I adhered slavishly to the exact wording I saw in similar paragraphs in the paper."

Alexis of the Romance Languages department will give a talk on Portugal at the Span ish club meeting at 4 o'clock this afternoon in room 204 of the Tem ple. Professor Alexis has traveled through Portugal and Spain, and his talk will deal chiefly with his im pressions of these countries. The purpose of these talks, aside from the information they give, is to offer students studying Spanish an opportunity to become accustomed to hearing the language and more adept in using it. Two farces in Spanish will be giv en also. One of them ,"E1 Criado As tuto," or "The Clever Servant," will be presented by Muriel Bixby, Harry Hoy, and Otho De Vilbiss.

Lowden lacks the Rooseveltian energy of Dawes, the salty humor of Al Smith, the grim .resourcefulness of Walsh and the ever-ready bitterness of Reed. Nevertheless, the very role which Lowden has played lends color to his story. On at least three occas ions his career has suddenly turned an unexpected corner. Lowden was born in 1861 one year before Hughes and one year after Curtis in the town of Sunrise, Minnesota. His father was a farmer (Continued on Page 2.) r" " """' '""' . : - .1 f - , , k 3 t '( ll - 1 J V, n r - r - urir 1 'ir n -ir-in-- Elected President 4 4 Kathryn Douglass, '29, Omaha, who was elected president of the A.
