MAYOR GiVES STATUS
OF STREET PROJECT
Hedge Declares People Must
Supply Money Before
Opening Is Made
AFFECTS CAMPUS LIFE
"Fifteenth street will not be
opened until the people, them'
selves, vote on It and furnish us
with the necessary machinery for
raising money," stated Mayor
Hedge in commenting up the Fif
teenth street project yesterday.
"The sum for accomplishing thi
task would reach several digits,"
he declared, "and we do not have
the machinery for raising so much
nioney. There was, however, a dis
cussion of this topic by the real
estate board Just recently. We have
a group of very constructive men
working on this project.
Mayor Hedge stated that a plan
ki just recently submitted about
the state capital wb1C also In
cluded the opening "of " Fifteenth
street. Several plans for the open
Ins of the street have been re
ceived.
Recalls Campus Extension
He recalled the fact, however,
that when the university campus
w as extended, two citizens of Lin
coin had to guarantee that the to-
ibl cost would not be over $300,000.
It cost the men about $2,000 be
cause the total cost was around
::02.000. A plan like that might be
used In connection with the open
ing of Fifteenth street.
"There must be a certain amount
of agitation so that the people will
become educated about the project
and also to the fact that we do not
have the machinery for raising so
much money. The money could not
be raised by taxation and thus must
come from some other source."
It Is essentially Important to
many students that the street be
opened for number of new fra
ternity bouses would be built on
the street as soon as the project
was completed and an assurance
established that the university
building plan would go through.

Bill.. States Certificates Be
Issued Teachers by
Superintendent
Nebraska's Farm Bureau Federa
tion is opposed to house roll 417,
a bill providing that all teachers
certificates shall be Issued by the
state superintendents of schools.
This was made known yesterday
through letters received by -arious
house members from C. B. Stew

The bill Is now in the house on
general file awaiting consideration
In the committee of the whole.
Claiming that the bill was spon
sored by the State Teachers asso
ciation otherwise known as the
Schoolmasters club. Steward said
that It was an attempt to take
educational matters out of the
hands of the local school boards.
At present state teachers' certif
icates are issued by the University
Teachers college and by the nor
mal schools. Steward says this is
as it should be.
"This should be so because the
teachers and professors of the in
stitution In which the prospective
teacher secures his or her educa
tion, know better than anyone else
the moral and mental qualifica
tions of those who would serve as
teachers in our public schools.

Is the subject on which Mr. B. I.

Mr staples Is presenting an ex

tive Navajo Indians, one a silver
smith, one a sandpalnter, and the
other a weaver.
These Indians will work in the
galleries at the same time that Mr.
Staples is explaining his exhibits
to those who care to enjoy them.
This offers those Interested In nil
sorts of Indian art and
ship the double opportune u. ....e
ing a very fine exhibit of native
work, which Mr. Staples has picked
up through his travels In the South

Indians go through the procedure
of manufacturing them. At the

the work which is going on.
IS'cbraskan Errt in
Celling !ame$ and
Headlines Correct
Three prominent errors were to
be found in Tuesday's issue of The
Daily Nebratikan. The head over
a feature story at the botioro of the
page dealing with "runs" assigned
Nebraskan reporters, read some
thing like this, "Victory of Ne
braska Shuttle Relay Team Pleases
Schulie."
In the bame feature the reporter
made a slight error in names in re
gard to athletic coverage. In place
of Jack Hlllott who is the Ne
brawkan football reporter, the name
of Maurice Akin was given who is
covering Varsity baaeball. In the
story "Honor Fraternities Arrange
For Dinner,' Professor CI. fiord
Hicks' name was printed as Pro
lessor John Hicks.
The latter two errors, although
serious enough, do not possess
the striking possibilities of the
first. Whether It was thought that
a "run" was the same thing as a
track meet, or whether a shuttle
team could be compored of Ne
braakan reporters, is not known. At
any rate it is evident that Schuite
was pleased.

University Faculty Member
Speaks on Chain Store
Industry
EXPLAINS PERCENTAGE
Prof. O. R. Martin of the business
organization and management de
partment addressed the Lincoln As
sociation of Credit Men at the Lin
coln hotel Monday night. "Chain
stores bare caused the Independent
owner to get out of the rut and
modernise his place of business,"
stated Martin.
Chain stores hare increased their
sales three and one-half billion dol
lars In the last five years and have
doubled their percentage of busi
ness, which was eight percent In
1923 of the total retail trade. The
Independents have fallen from 68
percent of the . total business la
1923 to SI percent in 1928.
Chain stores do 40 percent or
more of the nation's business in
shoes, dairy and poultry, gas and
oil, grocery and variety. The rea
sons for the success of the chain
stores were outlined by Professor
Martin as rapid turnover, modern
methods, superior sales service and
efficient management and control
The estimated waste in the distri
bution of merchandise amounts to
eight billion dollars each year or
nearly $80 per family for the na
tion's retail business.
Professor Martin pointed out
that the Independent store could
oompt -jta the chain stores and
Is doing so at the present time. The
department of commerce through
its extension service has been fur
nishing Important data to the local
owned stores on management and
selling.

Attempt Organization Non

New plans for perfecting an or
ganization of the non-fraternity
body on the .Nebraska campus will
be carried Into action at the barb
party to be held Saturday night.,
March 23, from 8 to 11:30 o'clock
at the Armory.
There have been desultry at
tempts to organize the non-fratern-fty
group in past years, but this is
the first real attempt to perfect
both a social nnd a political organ
ization, according to Alan G. Wil
liams and Ruth Hatfield, co-chairmen
of the group. A council will
be elected, consisting of men and
women representing each of the
four classes. This body will be a
basis for future organization, and
will direct the future social and
political activities of the barb or
ganization. Entertainers at the party will be
Oz Black, Lincoln cartoonist, and
Ray Ramsey, of the depsrtment of
dramatcs. Thirty-five hundred in
vitations have been sent, to non
fraternity students on the campus.
Twenty-five cents admission will
be charged.
October. It lias only three targeU
with two hundred and three hun
dred yard firing points. The Ash
land range has plenty of targets
and firing points up to one thou
sand yards.
Rifles Are Poor
The rifles used by the R. O. T. C.
were the best of the lot issued by
the war department to the school.
But they were made during the
war and have seen considerable
service. The barrels are worn and
the rifles have loose sights, poor
bolt action, and faculty trigger
mechanism. The civilians, on the
other hand, used 1927 and 1928
tar guaged national match rifles.
These are the best rifles of this
type made In the country. The uni
versity Is going to receive several
new rifles for se of the team. The
ammunition used is 1918 surplus
the same type as sold last week by
the government to the Mexican
army. Approximately one thousand j
rounds were fired Saturday wltn n
