Test Reveals
Odd Concepts
Of Volstead
Volstead reminds some people of
"a religious type of temperance,"
Harvard calls up pictures of snob
bnishness and fur coats, and Darwin
suggests "bunk," according to the
results of a "stereotype test" given
recently to a history class of Prof.
Roy E. Cochran.
The "stereotype test" is supposed
to bring out the mental associations
different individuals have for the
same word or idea. So a list of
words was given to the students, and
their answers tabulated.
One student thought of his grand
father when the word Republican was
given, another set down "the more
honorable party." The latter stu
dent wrote beside the word Democrat
"the more secretive party."
Volstead reminded students of
bootleggers, beer bottles, criminals,
and Zion City. ' Other associations
as set down in Professor Cochran's
test:
Taxes Yellow cabs, a burden,
money; Mexico a boiling pot, war;
Smith beer, cough drops; Bolshev
ism red whiskers and bombs, long
haired men; Uncle Sam protector
of. the world, mail boxes; Race
horses, negro, Roland Locke; Borah
bushy hair; Opera high hats.
DAILY Nf BRASKAN
Inquiring Reporter
Comes to life for a day with
queries on the Varsity Party
asked at random on tho campus.
Question: "What do you think
about the Varsity parties?"
Charles Bruce, '28, Lincoln.
"I think its a great idea having the
party out at Ag college this Satur
day. Its new and different and that
makes a good party."
Ralph Pray, '30, Loup City.
"The Varsity parties have been great
this year and I think the idea of giv
ing one to take the place of Univer
sity Night is fine."
Warren J. Ayres, '29, Lincoln.
"Its going to be the only party in
town Saturday night and with the
Collegians playing it ought to be a
good party."
Ruth Palmer, '28, Lincoln.
"Varsity parties are the University
student's party and for University
students only. The committee has
worked on a party for Saturday
night to be given at the Ag college
to take the place of University night
and I think it will be a peppy party."
Robert D. Wallace, '28, Casper, Wyo.
"The Varsity party committee h&s
been putting on good parties all year
and I don't think the "Spring Frolic"
Saturday night will be any exception.
With no University night, the party
should be a success."
Leon D. Larimer, '30, Lincoln.
"Hardly any parties in town Satur
day night but the Varsity's "Spring
Frolic," it should be a tig success."

ALBERT C. RITCHIE
Bv J. FREDERICK ESSARY
Washincton Correspondent, Baltimore Sua
It was no political accident tnat
Albert C. Ritchie should have broken
all precedents by achieving re-elec
tion as Governor of Maryland in
1923, nor was it a political phenom
enon that he should compound the
fracture by achieving a third term in
1926. True it is that for nearly a
century since 1835, to be specific,
when they began electing their gover
nors bv nonular vote Marylanders
regarded a four-year tenure of the
governorship not only as sufficient
honor for any citizen, but as afford
ing ample opportunity for signal
service to the State. This convic
tion -was almost universal and, as
time went on, the tradition against a

'UNUSUALLY WARM'
SAYS WEATHER MAN
Professor Blair Comments on
Peculiar Climate for First
Half of Month
"Unusually warm" replied Pro
fessor T. A. Blair, of the department
of meteorology, yesterday when
asked as to the weather for the first
half of March.
Although there has been no ex
ceptionally hot days the weather has
averaged six degrees warmer per
day than normal. Only two days, the
fourth and fifth, were below the av
erage and then the mercury did not
fal to any great depth.
'In Like a Lamb'
March, usually a month of blustery
winds, changing ttmperatures and
sudden storms has changed its rou
tine and given us an example of al
most perfect weather so far. The
traditional "in like a lamb and out
like a lion" proverb may hold true
but only the future may reveal that.
Another unusual feature of the
first half of the month is the small
amount of precipitation. Half of the
month has passed with only twenty
hundredths of an inch of moisture
to aid the growth of vegetation. This
is quite exceptional for this time of
year although no damage has been
done as yet.
"Moisture will be needed in a few
weeks" stated Mr. Blair, "or the
country will suffer."
OSCAR W. UNDERWOOD
(Prepared by Department of Political
Kcience.)
Senator Underwood was born at
Louisville, Kentucky, May 6, 1862,
entered practice of law in 1884 and
has since been practicing at Bir
mingham, Alabama. He has been in
Congress since the B4th Congress,
first in the House, then in the Senate.
He was an active leader in both, and
was the leader of the democratic
party in the Senate until 1924 when
he resigned the position of party
leadership.
The admirable thing about Sena
tor Underwood, say his admirers, is
that he puts what he conceives to be
the best interests of the country and
of the world above politics. He ably
supported President Wilson's efforts
to build a new world order on the
basis of good understanding and
American active participation, in
world helpfulness.
He was equally willing to support
President Harding's step in the same
direction, and it was UnderocJ's
fine spirit as to the Washington Ar
mament Conference and his fine
counsel in his party that were big
factors in the success of Mr. Hard
ing's program. More than any other
e democrat he had it in bis power
co make the Armament Conference
a succes-A ani to his everlasting cre
dit he rose to the occasion most
worthily.
Platform

263,400 Words
On Cage Meet
Students in the School of Journal
ism wrote 263,400 words of copy for
'.Nebraska weeklies on the recent state
high school basketball tournament.
The copy went to 255 home town
newspapers. Stories were furnished
on every game; and each weekly was
covered on all the games in which its
home team participated. Seventy
one papers were also covered for
neighboring towns, making the gross
total of papers covered 326.
The ten students who wrote the
larprest amounts of copy, with the
i number of words turned in by each
were as follows:
Carlson Reports Most
Donald Carlson, '31, Cheyenne,

gaged in reporting the games, and 36
acted as copyreaders. Members of
Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journal
istic fraternity, served as head copy
readers. The news bureau set up in
the School of Journalism office, U

day during the tournament.
CHARLES E. BORAH
By ROBERT S. ALLEN
Mi mljpr of Washington Bureau of

For a man like Mr. Borah, the
Presidency must have a tremendous

his deep insight into government, his
exhaustive knowledge of history, his
rare talent for public, address, his
mental and physical vigor and confi

LAZARRI WILL
SING IN OPERA
Italian Basso Will Play One
Of Leads in 'II Trovatore ,
Coming Production
SIGNOR KNOWS 98 OPERAS
Virgilio Lazzari, premier Italian
basso of the Chicago Civic Opera
company, who is a member of the
Chicago Civic Opera company, is con
sidered the "iron man" of the organ
ization. He will sing one of the
"leads" in "II Trovatore" when the
Chicago company appears at the Uni
versity of Nebraska coliseum, Thurs
day, March 29.
Signor Lazzari knows and has sung
a mere matter of ninety-eight differ
ent operas. If he were notified at
noon today that he was to sing any
one of the ninety-eight tonight, he
would present himself at the usual
hour prepared to give one of the ster
ling performances for which he is
noted.
Favorite at Ravinia
Lazzari's deep, mellow voice has
been included in the Chicago roster
since 1918 and he is a favorite at
Ravinia, where he sings in the sum
mer season, and on tour. But his
value as a grand opera artist is not
known exclusively to the United
States.
He stepped from operetta to grand
opera in 1913, making his debut in
"La Gioconda" at the Colon theater,
the famous opera in Buenos Ayres.
The public there and elsewhere that
had been won to him in light opera
followed him in his circuit cf the
grand opera theaters. He had a
great success in grand opera and his
popularity grew steadily. From
South America Lazzari moved north

Varsity Dance
Substitutes
For Uni Night
"So we'll just have a varsity dance
instead," was not a .statement made
by the faculty committee but it might
have been. In fact the probability
that some such assertion was made
is quite strong now that a varsity
party has been scheduled to take
the place of University Night Satur
day evening.
Everyone was all set for Univer
sity Night Saturday, but the faculty
committee upset the dope by reject
ing the skits. That open date had
to be filled because the people that
had University Night dates had to
f take them some place, so a big old
i varsity dance was planned.
Party at Ag College
j Of course everyone was expecting
1 n laro-o rrnu'l nf ITTn vom :t V Xio-flfc.
but look at the crowds that attend
Varsity Dances. They move around,
too, thus covering more territory.
The party will not be held in the
Coliseum this time. Some good cus
tomers complained that they couldn't
hear tho muic in the corners, so the
party will be held in some building
at the Ag College.
The party promises to be excel
lent it will have to be or people
will be disappointed. "I'll see you
at the Varsity Dance," as the saying
goes. But the trouble is' there are
such crowds you never can recognize
anybody. Oh what's the uae!

In Morrill Hall
RELATES HIS EXPERIENCES
'World Is Oversold on Value
Of Research and Undersold
On Its Cost'
"The world is oversold on the val

cost," declared Dr. Gerald A. Wendt,
director of Battelle Memorial Insti
tute of Columbus, Ohio, last night at
the annual Phi Beta Kappa-Sigma
Xi meeting in the Morrill Hall audi
torium. "There is too much propaganda
and excitement in chemistry as to
what research will do. I am most in
terested in the progress of research
and its human aspect, although many
do not know or understand the mean
ing of research. Some believe that
there is no scale of values in science,
that it shows no love or personality.
These people often confuse research
with science."
