Mr. Alcorn railed attention to
the ln reved sale of poetry lo Lin-
-iln tulnir itlm-llv a remit of
student buying. More poetry l
sold In Lincoln than in any other
town of like mil". A great Ural of
till Ik fold to the students, thus
causing the great volume of sales.
Few student are Interested In

corn, probably lccaue they do not
have the time to reail this type of
book a thoroughly a I necery
to pet the runni out of It. A great
many professor, however, find
time to read all of the latent de
tective fiction. Mr. Alcorn, ex
plains this as be I riff a result of the
increased IrlMire -time of the pro
fessors in relation to that of the
students.
Students Like Good Books.
The recent edition of well
known, nonflction books, at a 1
greatly reduced price has resulted
In a great many more sales. Thin
proves that university students
are interested in good books
when the price Is within their
reach said Mr. Alcorn. Two books
whose sales have greatly Increased
when their price w as lowered to a
dollar are Well's "Outline of His
tory'' and Durant'a "Story of
Pbilospohy."
Some of todays best sellers, at
least In Lincoln, are Brush's
"Young: Man cf Manhattan." Tom
llson's "All Our Yesterdays." Wil
der' "Woman of Andros." Hem
ingway's "Farewell to Arms."
Kommff'a "Cornet." and Rol-
vaag's "Pure Cold." All books
sell about the same here as any
where else in the United States.
Nebraska Authors.
The two best sellers In Lincoln
arc the books by ivenraska au
thors. The two books by No
braskans which are now at the top
are "While the Patient Slept" by
Ebcrhart and "Prairie Women" by
Decbe. Mrs. Eberhart is a Lin
coln woman whose book "While
the Patient Slept" is the second
which she has had accepted by the
Crime club as an outstanding mys
tery story. Mr. Deebe, the au
thor of the other best seller. Is a
former studeut al the University
of Nebraska.
Two nonflction books which
have a good sale in Lincoln are
The Rise of American Civiliza
tion" by Beard and "The Human
Mind" by Menninger. Mr. Alcorn
said that students buy very little
light fiction, although tbey rent it
to rand. Tbey buy only the better
type of books which leads him to
believe that niost students wish to
build up a worthwhile library. The
lighter books are read only to fill
up leisure time.

When n.ked concerning the nec
essary legal change which would
be required to modify th? present
liquor law without complete rej.enl
Mr. Void replied. "Since the eieht-
mieenth amendment prohibits the

consUtution. This position rests.
of course, on tbe understanding of
the tacts that ligbt wines and
beers are as a matter of fact in
toxicating "Congress has authority unilor
the con.stltution to make amend
ment, but has no constitutional
authority to provide for its viola
tion. The modification iisus'ly
publicly argued about, Iberefore,
will require a change of the con
stitution itself. Congress. of
course, can help tbe cause of nulli
fication by withholding tbe means
for enforcement, but it cannot
legalize the liquor traffic In whole
or In part.
Professor Void maintains that
argument on the question between
wets and drys will avail little until
some of the points now so much
in dispute are settled. These
fundamental points, over which the
different viewpoints are main
tained, are, in general, the ques
tion of to what extent the consump.
tion of liquor is. in fact, Injurious
to the drinker and to others, and
the question of to what extent the
actual demand for liquor goes on
the part of the general public.
