OFFERS HOME COURSE
Includes Color Instruction,
Arrangement, Design for
Furnishings.
MADISON, Wis. Teaching how
to make a satisfying home by at
tention to harmony in arrange
ment, desimv nnd rnlnr lritvin
means of the mistress of the hum-
hlest coltrge or of the more well-to-do,
a newly written course 'n
home decoration and furnishing is
now given by the University if
Wisconsin extension division.
It is adapted not only for home
makers and teachers of home eco
nomics, the extension announce
ment says, but for dealers and
salesmen for furniture and house
furnishings, painters and deco
rators, and others capable of mak
ing use of the fine points in home
furnishing and decoration.
The course is giver, by corre
spondence study in eight assign
ments, conducted bv Mrs. Lola D.
j Zander, a graduate of the home
i economics department of the Uni
I versity of Wisconsin, and a teacher
i of the subject at North Dak' i -.
! state teachers' college. Valley City.
N. D., Bradley college. Peoria, 111.,
and the University of Wisconsin.
In adapting this study for home
makers of many types, the exten
sion division s:ks to show how
skillful adjustments, made by rear
rangement of existing furnishings
and adding others in harmony,
may yield satisfying results. It is
emphasized that in a home where
much of a lifetime is to be spent,
any extra effort and often a liberal
expenditure are abundantly justi
fied to supply the elements of i
harmony and beauty that serve to
distinguish a home from just an I
abode or a shelter.
In this course the topics treated
include design and color; walls,
backgrounds and woodwork; car
pets and rugs; curtains and drap
eries: furniture; accessories; and
furniture choice and arrangement.
Copious reading lists supply incen
tive for further study of con
temporary literature on a variety
of home subjects.

little brother coming down here
and you want him to be a class
president, pledge him blueshirt. If
you want him to also run, pledge
him yellowjacket. The election
racket is over for the time being
and all we can do now is to s--it
down and html about il. The blues
outnumber the yellows about two
to one and yet they claim that the
best man wins. Well, maybe once
in a while he does. Class officers
are such important things any
how! Of course there are a few mU
guided people who would like to
say something about who is to talk
on Ivy day but alter all, does
anybody ever listen to him? Four

the office of Ivy day orator.
There, were six votes for Chick

"THIS being a guinea column, a
remark about biger and better
prom girls is scarcely out of place.
Somebody has come to at last with
the realization that Nebraska
wants a good-looking prom girl
and it appears that Nebraska may
finally get one. There's always a
question of ethics in voting for
her. Should she be popular with
both 3exes or just the sterner and
more gullible one? Should she be
an activity girl? Or should one
vote just on external appearance?
There are better chances of voting
for a combination of one or two
of these things chan theie have
been for several years. It's too
bad none of the candidates inter
viewed the movie man when he
was here.

He really doesn't deserve all the

LJERE boginneth the scripture
lesson. Guinea politics is afoot
today. The system of balloting on
the girls deserving of the honor of
Mortar Board is supposed to make
known to the present members of
the women's honorary just who
are considered most representative
by the most people. But some
sororities try to make a regular
whizzer out of it. They put down
their own girl, if they have one,
and then write in as many no-bodys-r-speaking
from the stand
point of campus activities as the
ballot will hold. The idea would
seem to be that of emphasizing
one's own prominent girl and the
devil take everybody else's fore
most. Blue shirt speed! Why not vote
for the girls who we all know are
the most outstanding and really
help the Mortar Boards out in
their quest of campus opinion. W3
used not to have any voice at all
in their elections, and now that we
get a chance for a small chirp,
half of us abuse the privilege, such
as it is. The male politicians
around here cut our throats
enough. Why should we go in for
the extra slashes? And now shall
we rise and repeat the benediction,

BY TEACHER
Intercollegiate Game Goes
To Schoolmasters in
45-13 Tangle.
In an intercollegiate basketball
game in the coliseum Tuesday eve
ning a hot teacher's aggregation
swamped a team of lawyers by the
count of 45 to 13.
The teacher's quintet was com
posed mostly of men from the
freshman squad. Masterson at
center did the honors for the
schoolmasters collecting eight bas
kets and two free throws to total
eighteen points. The burley Sauer,
played at forward and dropped
seven shots from the field for four
teen tallies. Bauer and Cook func
tioned at the guard positions.
The lawyers were nearly blanked
the first half. Krause from his
position at center managed to
snag one archer and Snow flipped
in his free toss so that the score
stood 22 to 3 at the end of the
initial period.
During the second stretch
Krause delivered for another goal
and Perry surprised the schoolboys
with three markers playing for
ward. Kelley and Mellon worked at
guard for the brief case lads while
Lindberg and Snow were forwards
before Perry entered the game.

MADISON. Wis. Parents rep

University of W iaconsin in the fall
of 1930, according to statistics
compiled by Miss Annie Kirch,
university statistician.
Excluding Americans, there are
more students in the freshmen
class of Russian extraction than
any other nationality, since the
survey shows that there are 108
fathers and 93 mothers, a total of
201 Russian parents.
Running a close second, the Ger
man parents include 109 fathers
and 88 mothers for a total of 197.
Norwegian parents rank third with
a total of 93, 51 fathers and 42
mothers.
After a sharp decline, 49 Swed
ish parents, 27 fathers and 22
mothers, rank fourth. England
contributes 27 fathers and 21

DEAN SAYS COLLEGES
TEACHING FREE TRADE
Sees Action as Eventual
Solution of Present
Tariff Problem.
SYRACUSE, N. Y. The real so
lution of the current tariff prob
lem which will eventually result in
free irade will come thru teaching
the free trade principle in the na
tion's colleges and universities,
the Daily Orange was told by
Dean W. E. Weld of the Univer
sity of Rochester in an Interview,
following his address on tariff to
freshmen Political Science stu
dents In Slocum hall.
When asked if there Is not a
tendency at the present time in
most American universities toward
persuading the college student to
the free trade idea, the Rochester
tariff expert replied emphatically
in the affirmative.
"Not only now but for the past
decade or more the free trade prin
ciple has been stressed In most in
stitutions of higher learning,"
Dean Weld declared. A short time
before in his address to the students
the Rochester educator had stated1
his unqualified stand on tariff as
that of a "free trader." However,
he laughingly admitted that for
the most part there has been no
visible effect of the teaching of
free trade in the colleges.
Dr. Weld went on to say that he
believes the free trade educators
are nevertheless making headway.
Through teaching the free trade
principle in college, the younger
generations are becoming ac-

Schulte expects Lee to be ready

sprints and possibly the low hur

advantages, and through this me
dium free trade will eventually

"Protection is at its peak," the
Rochester dean continued. "The

college students is taking root and
with the decline in protection will
thus after a while become the tar

SOONER MEN TRAIN
FOR BIG SIX MEET
Winnings at Kansas City
Indoor Games Prompt
Jacobs' Team.
NORMAN, Okia. Scoring two
firsts and three seconds against
sizzling competition in the K. C.
A. C. indoor games at Kansas City
Saturday night, Coach John Ja
cobs' Sooner track team today be
gan training for the important Big
Six conference indoor meet in
Brewer Fieldhouse, Columbia, Mo.,
March 7.
Two events not listed on the
K. C. A. C. program, the broad
jump and the 50-yard low hurdles,
will be contested for in the con
ference meet and in each of these
the Sooners are comparatively well
fortified. Clifford Mell, McKinney,
Tex. and Harold Morris, Tulsa, al
ready having neared 23 feet in the
broad jump while Robert Hildt,
Tulsa, has done the low sticks in
6.1 seconds, just .2 seconds behind
Jack Carmen's Big Six indoor rec
ord. Coach Jacobs can also place at
Columbia a new sprinter, Jesse K.
Hill, of Muskogee, who has al
ready run the 100 yards in 9.9 sec
onds this year and is fast becom
ing proficient at the shorter dis
tance, alongside Don Adkison, of
Tulsa, and by using the crack
members of his mile relay team in
the 440-yard dash and inserting
the veteran Bruce Choate in tbe
pole vault, may finish higher than
the fifth position Oklahoma won
last March. Hill forsook the K. C.
A. C. meet to stay home and take
the state pharmacy examination.
Jacobs, previous to last season,
established the Sooners as eafy
peers of the conference in indoor
track, his men winning the cham
pionship three years consecutively
from 1927 to 1929. Lack of re
serve performers, and of weight
men and pole vaulters appear to
be the outstanding Sooner weak
nesses this season.
Mell's achievement of conquer
ing bv five yards rangy Bob Oster
gard.'of Nebraska, the 1930 cham
pion, in the 600-yard Shannon
Douglas cup race at Kansas City,
means that the little broad-jumper
may be called upon to race George
.Tones, Kaneas phenom who won
the K. C. A. C. open 440 in tne
fast time of 52.5 seconds, and also
compete in the broad jump and
perhaps anchor the Sooner raile re
lay team at Columbia, a strenuous
night's labor for any track man.

relay team's mark of 3:33, regis
tered in defeating Missouri by
twenty yards, was superior to that
made by any other Big Six school,
Nebraska submitting a time of
3:34.2 in outlegging Kansas and
Iowa State one of 3:38.2 in dis
tancing the Kansas Aggies.
Charles Potts, leading off for
Oklahoma, out-jockeyed his Tiger
opponent by retaining the pole and
turned over a lead of five yards
to Fred Cherry. Frank Abbott and
Clifford Mell, each of whom wid
ened the margin perceptibly.
Moore Is Second.
Warren "Bus" Moore, who won
his heat in tbe half-mile in 2:03.2
was delegated to second place
when his time was surpassed by
that of Lydic, Kearney, Neb.
Teachers, in an earlier heat, the
race being decided this year on the
always questionable method of
time comparison, nevertheless ran
aggressively.
So did Capt. Glen Dawson, who
took rather a poor second in both
the mile and the two-mile yet
made more points than any other
man in the meet, Penthalonets
Jim Bausch and Buster Charles
excepted.
Charles M. Hewitt, Norman,
drew an outside lane in the second
line in the open 440 and was de
feated before he started. Bill New
block, Norman, had a bit of diffi
culty with his high-jumping form
on the slick floor and didn't place.
Sprinter Don Adkison was barely
nipped in a fast heat of the 50
yard dash while Hurdler Bob Hildt
won two heats and was leading the
winner, Hager of Iowa State, in
the semi-final when he struck the
last hurdle and was eliminated.
Victory of Harold Adkison, of
Tulsa, who competed for the Lake
side Country club of that city in
the 50-yard dash, was really an
other triumph for Coach Jacobs
who developed Adkison Into a for
midable sprinter while the latter
attended this university trom 1927
until 1930.
