AUG. 8 IS NEW DATE
T
Siahtseers Will Not Start
Out Today; Have Until
Friday to File.
The ambitious student who had
his grip all packed, ready to start
today on the big western jauni
sponsored by the University of
Nebraska geography department,
will either have to unpack his
clothes or let them get wrinkled.
Now comes announcement from
Prof. Leland S. Paine, regular
member of the faculty at Texas A.
ic M., who is teaching here this
summer and who is conducting the
bus tour, that the dates have been
moved ahead beerinninff Aug. 8

trip, for three hours college credit,
see Professor Paine, room i, dot

m., Friday, July 18," reads an an
nouncement from the director of
the summer session.
The twenty day tour through
the Rocky mountains will take stu
dents over 2,800 miles, Professor
Paine declares. And it will be more
than a vacation, he vouches, as
students will study economic con
ditions, climate and geology of the
tprrltorv thev Dlan to cover.
There will be several hours of
leisure every day, though, the pro
fessor assures his fellow tourists.
Thfl average dailv mileage will be

for fun and recreation.

FIRST ALL-SUMMER
IS
Affair Attended by 700
Promises to Be
Tradition.
A new tradition is in the mak
ing for the University of Ne
braska!
The unqualified success of the
first all-student picnic, held last
Friday at Capitol Beach and at
tended by 700 students, carries an
assurance that possibly the affair
will be made an annual event.
"A very representative crowd of
students attended this picnic,"
says Prof. E. W. Lantz, "and from
appearances everyone enjoyed
themselves. The variety of
amusements and recreational fea
tures which were offered enabled
each student to do the thing which
he or she enjoyed the most. There
have been so many favorable com
ments on the picnic that we hope
to have annual repetitions of it."
The program, which included
water sports, games, dancing and
a free show, was featured by a
get-together meal at 6:15 p. m.
IS'ebraskans May A'of
Have Eastern Status
But They Work Hard
"Nebraska students are harder
workers and more earnest, tho
they lack the background and
intellectual independence that
characterizes the eastern stu
dents," declared James Wood
ward, instructor in sociology at
the University of Pennsylvania,
who is teaching here this sum
mer. ! : j
Mr. Woodward finds the mid
dle west to his liking. Even the
heat, he says, is not so humid
as around Philadelphia. The
people here he finds are of a
more friendly disposition, more
open and wholesome.
He is at present at work on
a scientific methodology for the
social sciences. The biggest
problem In his field today he
believes Is personality adjust
ment. This, he says, can be
solved only by a synthesis of an
thropology, psychology, psycho
analysis, and sociology.

Waning Light in
Visual Education
Educational movies are not what
!hv have been cracked ud to be.
In the opinion of Dr. Thomas Mil
ton Carter, visiting instructor In
Nebraska s summer sension rrom
Albion college, Mich.
The popularity of visual educa
tion in the schools has waned, he
declared, partly because Its im
portance was overestimated and
partly because it has not proved
adaptable to a number of subjects.
Of course, certain auDjects iena
themselves well to movie represen
tation. Dr. Carter said. But It Is
necessary to use only relevant sub
jects and relevant material so mat
the point at issue may be ciarmea
through the movie and not blurred
bv it.
And then he gives an example to
illustrate his point:
"Supposing you are showing a
movie to illustrate coal mining.
You want to show tne transporta
tion of the coal. You cast a pic
ttire of a locomotive nullinr a train
loaded with coal across the pic-

The student health service
has been busier this summer
than during any other summer
session of its existence.
A variety of ailments includ
ing boils, infections and stomach
disorders have been given at
tention. The unusual rush has been at
tributed to the intense heat
and to the advertisement that
the service has been given this
year, according to physicians
