I-.K NEW PHILOSOPHY IS NOT REQUIRED Spiritual Conquest Urged . By Fo:Tner Nebraska Instructor. SPEAKS AT CONVOCATION People Don't Need to Weep For New Worlds to Conquer The pioneer spirit is fruHi rated and people are weeping for worlds to conquer. Frustrated humanity can't see what the next step In the conquest, the conquest that makes men of us. is to be. The last physi cal dimension hns been conquered. There Is another dimension to he conquered, and that Is tbe spiritual dimension. "It is for you to open the win dows, discover the other dimension, and lead out in the new pioneer ing." Dr. Hartley Burr Alexander, phllospher and architect, of Scripps college. California, and former Ne braska instructor, told students of the university at a convocation in the Temple. Monday morning;. Dr, Alexander decries the need for a new philosphy of life, saying 'something- has happened to the psychology of the human nice that isn't going: to happen ngain." The present generation, he says, has Keen the passing of the last of the undiscovered and unconquored land. "There are no more physical worlds to conquer. Teoplc arc seek irg for things they can't discover." Cites California. California Is described by the Scripps college philosopher as a glaring example of humanity at the present tim. "We've got a geneia tion of Americana wbo were reared on the idea that theie were physi cal woilds to conquer," he savs. People have grow n up with tbe common intension of going west. California is full of Americans who have gone as far west as they can. They have found the frontier ;rone and' arc living there with no i'!ea of what they arc doing, lost and seeking happiness in building chicken houses. Metaphysics." says the former Nebraskan. "Is the science of the future." A prominent physicist has announced that the science of physics is complete. Dr. Alexander says that he hopes this is true, be cause pmpie can turn to other things which are the future worlds which man can conquer. Broaden On's Outlook. The reason that the taxpayers 01 the state give their money t sup port an institution like the univer sity is that the present generation rr.ay broaden their outlook on life. It is the. duty of the students to throw open the windows and look out upon tbe future. It is for the students to becom; new pioneers, vho are not frustrated.

Larp und appreciative audi ences are responding with enthusi asm to the University Players per formance of "The Little Clay Cart" which Is being given at the Temple theater this week, accord ing to Miss Alice Howell, duecter of the Players. Thirza Fay and .'ere Mickcl dis played unusual ability in handling the" leading roles. Miss Fay, tak ing the part of Vasantasena. a courtezan, added to the beauty of the scenes with her picturesque gracefulness. Ir her long, flowing robes Miss Fay made a very charming Hindu woman. Mickel Plays Charudatta. Mr. Mickel portrayed the part of the virtuous Brahman merchant. Charudatta, vith an ease and un derstanding that made his work stand out. Representing this mer chant prince who because of his kindness and gencrouity loses al' his wealth, he compels respect and admiration at all times. Mr. Micke! appeared in the original company which presented the play at the Goodman theater of Chi cago. Arthur Sinjrlcy as Maitrcya. the friend and servant of tho good Charudatta, olso did a nice piece of acting. W. Zollry turner as SharvilakA, a Brahman in love with Madanika, played by Pauline GollaUy. furnishes much of the amusement and humor in the play. Kis love for Madanika, who is a maid of the courtezan, Vasanta aona, causes him to resort to thievery in order to get enough money to buy her ireedom. Mis entrance into Charudatta's house and tbe way in which be obtains the golden casket which is later found to belong to Vasantascna borders on the farce.

Editor's Note: This li the first of a series of articles containing information gleaned from ques tionnaires sent out by The Daily NebrasWan to forty universities and col'sges. It will be at tempted to take up jutt one In stitution at a time, beginning with the University of Iowa. Theie l no need to worry about being up in curncular hours or having so many hours made dur ing the past one or two semesters in order to be eligible for activi ties at the University of Iowa except those who go out for ath letics says a report from the editor of the Daily Iowan, just re ceived at The Daily Nebraskan of fice. Athletes, in order to be able to participate in the various events, must have made at least "a 1.5 average,' declares the Iowan. Fra ternity members, however, can be initiated at any time regardless of how their scholarship stands or re gardless of how manv hour- they have in school. With forority women, the only requirement is that they must be students in the school at least one semester before being initiated. Drinking No Problem. That drinking is not necessarily a problem on the Iowa campus is attested to by the tepiy made in the questionnaire. Most of the Iowa students, the Hawkeye editor believes, are for strict enforcement of present legislation of prohibition and the conditions are "undoubt edly better than before prohibi tion." although "about 70 percent are occasional drinkers. 10 percent regular.-. and . tfas rest - total - ab jtamers." No discrimination Is made by the neighboring editor between groups in so far as drinking is concerned.

This organiza tion was preceded by another group, similar in organization and function, known as the Flat Hat. which was organized in 1750 at the same college. John Heath, the first president of the fraternity, with five other men met one eve ning in the Apollo room of the old Ptalelgb tavern at whicTi" time Patrick Henry delivered one of his most eloquent orations. This group chose a laot'.o of which the initial letters are the letters signifying the name. A silver medal with S. P. engraved on one side and Phi Beta Kappa on the other, was chosen as the badge for the brotherhood. Tiie key with which we ?rc familiar soon replaced this emblem. Organization Grew.
