Students Decide to Work
Bum use of the difficulty in ob
taining a true understanding of in
dustrial problems from text books,
which do tot isc-lude the human
values with 'lie ecouomlc fads in
volved, many students have deter
mined to "find out for themselves."
by entering industry as manual
workers, hunting their own Jobs,
living ou their own wanes, and
working day by day under the same
conditions as their fellow workers.
This approach is both scientific
and educationally rewarding to the
student who finds himself a part of
the industrial situation, a partici
pant observer of the problems of
both men and management. A num
ber of college men are spending a
period or years in the venture.
Some will spend one whole jaer
but ihe majority are to devote six
weeks or two months of the sum
mer vacation to this project.
Workers Will Meet Weekly
Each group comes together once

and evaluate experiences. A com

able to secure interesting speakers
to e.ddress the group and to be
questioned by them.
College men and women, mem

and those workers in industry who
are willing to share experiences

Huge Increase
BILL GOES TO SENATE
"Governor Weaver is In full ac
cord with the increase In the Uni
versity appropriation," declared
Chancellor E. A. Burnett when In
terviewed yesterday about tie
J662.500 increase in the University
budget over the amount recom
mended by the governor last Jan
uary, which w as reported out of the
i . n n rm viri anil TUeajlS
IKf ustt iiiimii... ' .
t CoTr.mUreVTDesday morning.
"The reason he did not grant me
Increase from the first was that he
did not clearly understand the con
ditions upon which we were asking
for that much money. Of course
$315,n00 of the amount is to go for
the University's share of the new
lighting and healing plant and that
ts what makes the Increase seem so
large."
Wanted New Building
Chancellor Burnett said he was
disappointed because the $150,000
asked for a Home Economics build
ing on the College of Agriculture
campus had not been granted but
that he was well pleased with the
increase in the budget.
The bill ill have to pass the
senate vet but DO opposition is ex-
l pected there, according to the chan
cellor.
"Everyone seems to be in favor
r,r the increase." he said. "After
the bill has passed the senate, it
will take about thirty to sixty das
before work is commenced on the
new heating and lighting plant"
Chancellor Burnett refused to
comment on what chance he
thought the University might have
for gaining an Increase in appro
priation for the raising of profes
sors' salaries two years hence, say
ing that a good appropriation was
usually made in prosperous years.

University Physician Fears
Spread of Diphtheria,
Scarlet Fever
MANY CASESARE NOTED
"It is very desirable thai each
and every cae of sore throat be ex
amined by a physician in order
that the rapid spread of diphtheria
and scarlet fever may be checked,"
advised Or. Charles Harms, uni
versity physician, in a bulletin
which waa sent out recently to all
university Instructors.
"All sore throats are 'nfectiou
and 'catching,' hence the rapid
spread. Many of them are mild
caaea of dlpntherla or scarlet
fever and It is Impossible for a
layman to tell the difference. Home
treatment may be satisfactory to
the individual concerned, but not
to the other members of his several
classes." the repol continues.
Disease Are Serious
There have been a number of
light cases of these two diseases
about the campus and one fratern
ity, the Acacia, was quarantined for
a time with . diphtheria. There Is
no sure method of gargling or any
nrhr treatment vtlirh will ward
off the diseases, according to Doc
tor HaiiuB.
It is usually true that one does
not have scarlet fever again after
having 11 mice hut dltihtheria mav
be bad any number of times, ac
cording to the physician. The most
lilfelv aire fnr rrtnl rart Inff either
disease is from five to ten years of
a hut tti6m ta t-tdt-ntlv an er.
ception to the rule from the num
ber of university students who are
taking ill with one or the other
disease.
Diphtheria or scarlet fever, how
ever, may be "carried" by some
one who is immune to them. It is
thought that this was the origin of
the first case in Lincoln. There
were ninety-seven cases of scarlet
fever and seventeen of diphtheria
in Lincoln last month, according
to Doctor Harms
