THE HONESTY, ETHICS EMPHASIZED BY Dr. W. 0. Thompson Says These Arc Essentia! For Education, ADDRESSES STUDENTS Convocation Group Hears Talk on Learning in Typical Schools. Emphajitnjr tbe necessity of In tellectual honesty and recognition or ethical Issues of education In modem etate universities, Dr. Wil liam Oxley Thompson, president emeritus of Ohio State unlvemtty. addressed a university convocation Thursday morning In tbe Temple theater. He wu Introduced by Dr. Samuel Avery, chancellor emeritus of the University of Nebraska, to the gathering of noma S50 students and faculty members. Dr. Thompson took as his gen oral subject the possibilities of re ceiving an education In a nchool such as tbe University of Ne braska. Students may be educated. In the opinion of Dr. Thompson. If they possess Intellectual honesty and are able to recognize tbe re sponsibilities that an education involves. "The American college and pub lic school system of today is in volved la experiments In Uio at tempt to meet the problems with which It Is confronted." explained the prominent educator. "A great deal of money and effort Is iir.s expended in the experiment" Issues are Popular. Issues relative to education are not confined to any sex or clas, explained Dr. Thompson. The sub ject Is a popular one. "We are beginning to realize that everyone has a right to edu cation and that it Is becoming a necessity." continued the speaker. "Education is the basis of progress and the progressive educators shall b the leaders." Stressing the problems of laud grant, state supported universities, Dr. Thompson applied these Issues to the University of Nebraska and to Ohio State university, of which he was president for more than twenty-five years. In his opinion the faculty or student body in such aa Institution, have great ed ucational sources at their com mand. Whether they take advant age of the opportunities Is an in dividual problem. "State universities have not been organized to maintain a faculty or to carry on research,' declared the educator. 'Their primary purpose Is to educate the youth of the couLtiy." Such Institutions have been given freedom from sectarian con (Contlnued on rage 3.) PAIIEliTlSTO Instructor of Philosophy Outlines Ideals to Sigma Delta Chi. Ideals toward which newspapers should strive were outlined last night by Dr. Charles Patterson, in structor in philosophy, before the regular bi-monthly dinner meeting of Sigma Delta Chi. professional .journalistic fraternity, at the Pi Kappa Alpha house. Newspapers are a powerful in fluence in the development of public opinion, according to Dr. Patterson, and as such are under moral obligation to maintain the highest possible standards and to work toward the promotion of public welfare rather than private gain. He voiced the opinion that government ownership of newspa pers would probably be a step toward the improvement of the press. Dr. Patterson stated further that it is his belief that much may be done by the newspapers through concentrated intensive ef forts to raise and develop a taste for cultural interests in the public mind. He criticized the apparent failure of the press to utilize hith ertofore the opportunities which lie in this field. At a short business meeting prior to the address, Gene Kobb, president of Sigma Delta Chi, an nounced tbe appointment of com mittees to prepare for coming ac tivities of the fraternity. Cliff San dahl was appointed chairman of a committee to make the selection of best news story appearing in The Daily Nebraskan during the first semester. Dean Hammond and Prof. Gayle C. Walker will work In co-ordination with San dabl In making the selection. Harl Andersen was named a chairman of the Founders day banquet which will be held early in April.

The chairman of the committee shall be elected by the committee from the committee by a plurality vote. There shall be a faculty advisory committee" composed of the secretary of finance, dean of women, dean of student affairs and the student activities agent.

DATES ARE MAY 5 TO 10 John M. Clcma, '30, Lincoln was elected chairman of Engineers' week at the meeting of the Engin eering Executive board held Thurs day night in Mechanic Arts 206. Gerald Evans 'SO, Arcadia, was elected secretary-treasurer. With the approval of the board, the men chosen to fil the other of ticea will be announced by the end of next week. This Is the fourth year for Mr. Clema. who is also editor-in-chief of the Blue Print, to act as a member of the Engineers' week committee.

No Dance Planned. An effort waa made to arrange for au Eug lueerti' ball but due to the large number of activities of the week, it will be impossible to give such a party at that time, ac cording to the committee consist ing of three engineering instruc tors. Likewise tbe traditional En gineers' parade had to be ousted from the program. The Nebraska Blue Print staff is to have charge of the publication of the programs. The agricultural and chemical engineers have been appointed to design and construct the campus structure. Definite plans for this will be announced later. The officers were chosen by the board In order to give them ample time to get their committees or ganized. Tbe time required for holding a fctudrut tody election would be over three weeks which would not leave sufficient time to work up the feature program planned. MANAGERS Proposed All-University Party Plan BRA I U. V MAY BE VIEWED AT7:: Players Will Offer Modern Production by Capck In Temple. DISCUSSION IS RAMPANT Meeting Held in London To Consider Theme Of Drama. "R. U. R." aa presented by the University Players, will open promptly at 7:30 p. m. tonight at the Temple theater. The play written by Karel Capck has proved a sensation in dramatic clrtles. At tbe present time It Is being given in New York by the New York Theater guild, and the fact that the University Play ers are able to produce it simul taneously with them Is an unique occurrence. The theme, which deals with the mechanical aspect of the present civilization and the probable out come in the future, created so much comment in London when the play was produced there thHt meetings were held to discuss the subject. Characters Differ. The characters in the play are of two type"- There are the real human beings who head the fac tory which turns out the mechan ical men who are just like humans except for the absence of a soul: and there are also the robots or mechanical men whom they pro duce. There are only three women characters in the play. Faye Wil liams takes the part of Helena, the young woman who comes to the island to see if she can't induce the manufacturers to make the robots more human. In tbe epi logue she also takes the part of Helena, the robot who is so per fect that she is human. Nyle Spieler as Sulla and Helen Man ning as Nana carry the other fem inine roles. Tbe men taking part in the play are: Richard Page as Harry Domin, Arthur Singly as Marius, Edwin Qiilnn as Dr.. Gall, Lelsod Bennett aa Mr. Fabry, Paul Miller as Dr. Hallemeir, Harlan Easton as Mr. Alquist, W. Zolley Irner as Counsul Busman and Paul Thomp son as a servant. Members of the Dramatic club are cast as robots. STUDIO DATES. Friday Feb. 28. Pershing rifles. 12 a. m. Junior-Senior Prom committee, 12:15 p. m. - PREMIER 30 TONIGHT The class presidents will act as chairmen of the sub-committee in charge of their respective class parties. The balance of the sub-committees will be composed of other members of the re spective classes appointed by the president. FINANCE: The members of the All-University party committee must guarantee the under writing of each party, thus insuring the financial success of the party, spurring the committee to its best efforts and protecting the university from any financial deficit. To protect the committee from any possible lack of attendance, the committee of student af fairs will close the nights scheduled for All-University parties to sny other event of All-University nature, Barb parties and house dances. ADMISSION: Admission price shall be de termined by tbe committee, and approved by the faculty advisory committee. Tbe profit realized from these parties will be distributed as follows: Tbe Student councftl will receive a portion to cover its operating expenses. Tbe council's budget will be published at the beginning of each school year; the profit of each party will be pro rated until the council and board budgets are satisfied. The Barb board will likewise publish its budget and receive its share from the net profit. The same proportionate distribution of profits applied here. There will be a sinking fund created into which goes 10 percent of the net profit from each party. Tbe balance will be placed in a fund to be known as a student union fund and to be handled by the faculty advisory committee. This latter makes the incentive to patronize the parties typi cally All-University. The third party, sponsored by sophomores, will be the first weekend following the Christ mas recess. Further explanation of this student union is undoubtedly necessary. Student unions on other campuses are found to be roost convenient and usually result from a financial campaign on the part of tbe student body. Since tbe building is primarily for student activities, extra-curricular and otherwise, the chief source of finance should come from the students. What better mediuns for financing tbe student union could be found than the net profit from All-University parties? Details in regard to building, financing, and locating student union can be worked out later. For the present let the matter stand as one of the chief incentives for patronizing All-University parties. SKAN ''-!ii:ii W'in Promotion. t if RALPH A. VAN ORSDEL.

Though auld acquaintance be forgot And memories may slump, Who can forget the joy, the bliss. Of playing in the dump. And those were the days when incipient Don Carlsons and Bill McCleerys turned their mothers' golden hair to silver gray when their sons and heirs, on various trips to the dump yards with tin cans, carao back laden with rub t?r tires, broken perambulators, stove pipes for clubhouses and other accessories to a boy's happi ness. Changed now are tbe boys' in terests, and yet the junk yard still figures in their every day lives even though they are not aware of it. Amorous swains today, yes terday, and tomorrow continue to write of their love even as they nave done in years past. Though few men would believe it, few of these missives are tied in tbe provincial style with blue ribbon and put away in lavendar ard moth destroying powder.
