Mr. Kerns, also,
cirnsKeri the f:irt that negroes are
very pnimineut in the field of lit
eiaturc. Unemployment Is Serious.
"Unemployment." continued Mr.
Kerns, "is a serious problem
among the negroes." This is caused
largely thru toe little intimacy of
the necro and the white races.
"Negroes and white people do not
know ench other well enough,"
stated Mr. Kerns.
After the abolition of .slavery,
negroes came in large numbers,
from the south to the north, with
habits and ideas in their minds.
Instead of finding a brotherly atti
tude between the white people and
the negroes, they found that the
northerners had a rather bitter at
titude toward them.
, This r.ituation has forced the ne
groes to become more alert, more
watchful. More equal justice has
been given them in the south, but
in the north such things as race
riots have come about as in Chit-ago,
and other large cities.
Tells Incident.
Mr. Kerns told of an incident of
a white man. who had said that if
he could find a negro who could
conjugate a Greek verb, he would
think he had found a soul. "It Is
too bad," continued Mr. Kerns,
"that this individual did not live
to see and know the negro who,
not only could conjugate a Greek

Frances Holyoke, woman's edi

speaking of the conference, said,
"I think the industrial conference

250 ENGINEERS
REGISTER TODAY
IN FIRST MEET

engineers do not know each other
as they should. Their activities
are somewhat diverse, their paths
seldom cross, and even when they
do they do not recognize each
other. "We engineers fail of the
full values of friendships with our
fellow engineers," he said.
The simple beginnings of the
practice of the engineering pro
fession in Nebraska are parts of
the solid foundations on which we
now build, or even live. Surveys,
highways, railroads, telephone and
telegraph, radio, water power and
many more such developments
have passed through their pioneer
stages to positions of untold im
portance. "But there is more for
the engineer to do." he said.
The program continues, after
registration with five addresses at
the noon luncheon at the chamber
of commerce, ten talks during the
afternoon committees reports, and
a banquet at 6:30 o'clock at the

Without Fire
and Sword
By MEREDITH NELSON
And HOMER OEAOMAN
During the long history of man
kind, man himself has been eval
uated in any number of terms,
from a nonenity to an ultimate
value. In all this time, man has
continued his strivings and his
searchings after that which was
best and that which was good.
Man's joy and life has been in the
search for truth for the sake of
truth. In no other way can we
satisfactorily interpret the losses
and the sacrifices that man has ex
perienced in living his life. For
man could have avoided many of
these sorrows if he had lived alone
for pleasure, but this was not his
aim.... he sought after the truth.
Man has been searching after
truth and what is truth ? Truth la
that which is c-ood. Truth is God.
God is truth and beauty, the ulti
mate terms of cosmic understand
ing by which the life of man
achieves an interpretation of value
and goodness without which life is
meaningless and inexplicable. God
becomes then the eternal value of
the life of man. Man lives to seek
after this ultimate value, never
finding it completely but always
seeing- it in the far-flung: reaches
of his experiences and his
thoughts, Man gives the last and
the highest devotion to God, for to
him God is the meaning of the
whole being of man. And how,
now, does man conceive of human
personality ?
In these concepts of the ultimate
value of God as the great evalua
tor of persons, human personality
becomes the end term of the whole
universe and the end in itself of
the cosmic order. This concept
does not allow man to claim for
himself with sophomoric conceit
the knee-bowed worship of all
other existent bodies in the cos
mos, but it does allow and con
strain man so to conduct himself
toward his fellow men that the
conduct may be allowed for any
man. Man should act so that all
of his acts may in turn be done
toward him by other men and that
all men may thus be recognized as
ends in themselves. Every man,
then, however weak and poor and
degraded he may be, becomes of
value because he is a human per
sonality and because he is so
looked upon by God. This concept
does not thus resolve itself from
altruism of man but from the very
nature of the truth or of God from
which man gains a meaning for his
life, his thoughts, and his experi
ences. Human personality becomes
for us the greatest thing in the
universe because it is of the na
ture of God, and God is in it; God
and human personality become
mutually dependent; they are co
existent. This is the highest religion, the
high seriousness of life, the rich
est experience of man's brief days.
This is the poetic grasp of value
and the r'maginative interpretation
of the universe in all of its mani
fold workings. Man becomes the
co-worker, the co-creator with
God. Unitil now God has worked
and until now, as far as man has
been religious, man has worked.
It has been, a vast partnership
that has worked thru all of the
process of the universe. Han has
always oeen reaching and search
ing for these religious experiences
by which he achieves .the high '.se
riousness of life and becomes the
companion of God. On the lonely
hilltop in the dark of night with
only the stars to jruide; in the
face of a little child coming to one
thirstinir after the truth; in the
aid of the needy found by one's
roadside; in the deepest affection
and communion of thought and
feeling with a friend; by the so
cial willing of evil from the world;
by the deep seated longing and
working for social justice; and by
the serenity of life in the face of
death in and by such things as
t hese does man work with God and
God with man, each striving and
creating with the other. It is the
last devotion of the universe. Is
this last devotion beyond us ? Is
man capable of this last devotion
and this high religion? In man's
mind we find the possibilities for
this ultimate insight into the final
good and in the experiences and in
the thoughts of the greatest crea
tors among men of all time we
find this last devotion as the fun
damental hasis of their whole crea
tions. It takes but the creative
imagination of an Isaiah, a Dante,
a Shakespeare, or a Tolstoi to
make clear to man the meaning
of the high seriousness of life. It is
possible for us, too, in our mad
whirl of social life on our campus
to go apart from fellow students
and worship God and gain from
that experience a sense of co-existence
with God and realize the
high seriousness of life. It is sim
ply the truth of God to be realized
by all men.

His seven points made him second
high man for Nebraska.
The Corhuskcr's inability to
keep control of the ball was one
of the main reasons for their do
feat. Both teams played about
the same type of ball, a man for
man defense with a fast breaking
ofi'eiisu.
First Half Slow.
The first half of the game wa.4
uninteresting and slow, with Kan
sas Aggies stealing the spotlight.
Nebraska started all of the second
team wtth the exception of Hokuf
and Davey. This team, made up
of Mauch, Conkltn and Stipsky
played most of the first half be
fore the regulars were inserted.
Nebraska was trailing at the end
of the half, 11 to 19.
The second half was an entirely
different matter. In the first four
minutes of play Nebraska mnde 9
points while holding the Kaggies
to 3. The Aggies still led by a
pair. Skradskl made a follow in
shot for the Kaggies and Maclay
sank a long one for Nebraska,
making the score 24 to 22 with the
Huskers still trailing. Davey got
a free throw and followed it al
most immediately with a field
goal to put Nebraska in the lead
25 to 24.
From that time on the lead
changed back and forth. First one
team led, only to drop behind a
few minutes later. With seven
minutes to go a long shot by
Auker put the Kajreies in the lead,
28 to 27, but Koster came in from
the side to give Nebraska the lead
once again, 29 to 28.
Hokuf Ties Count.
With only four minutes to go,
Fairbanks gave the Aggies a one
point lead, but Hokuf tied the
score with a free throw. Vohs,
substitute forward, came in from
the side to give Kansas Aggies
their winning basket. Nebraska
failed to score In the last two min
utes of play, Conklin missing his
free throws in the last twenty
five seconds of play.
The Huskers play the Oklahoma
Sooners here Saturday night in
the last game of the season.

Department Sponsors Group
Talks to Farmers on
Hog Production.
Hog lot santitation, proper feed
ing, use of modern equipment, and
larger litters of pigs are a few of
the principals advocated by the an
imal husbandry men of the exten
sion department in their corn and
hog meetings in the various coun
ties over the state.
These meetings, sponsored by
the extension department, have
proved interesting and beneficial
to the many farmers who attend
each gathering. W. Derrick, ex
tension animal husbandryman,
tells the group of new methods in
economical hog production and ad
vises them on any phase of hog
raising about which they may in
quire. D. L. Gross, extension agronom
ist, handles the corn side of the
meeting by recommending variet
ies suited to the farmers own land
and telling them of better methods
of corn production.
The extension department plans
to have at least one of these meet
ings in every county in the state.
The meetings were only an experi
ment at first, but such interest
was displayed by the farmers that
the department has decided to
make them a regular feature.

Gayle C. Walker, director of the
school of journalism and chair
man of the publications board,
said yesterday that in view of the
large amount of business which

that the vacancy be filled. How
ever, Mr. Walker believed that it
would be improper for the board
to undertake to fill the position

Winkler, senior in the college of
agriculture, resigned from the
board last week when he left
school to take a position with the
St. Joseph, Mo., Stockyards com

and five faculty members. The
present faculty members of the
board are G. C. Walker, J. E.
Lawrence, John K. Selleck, H. E.
Bradford and C. H. Oldfather.
Will Make Appointments.
The important work which will
come berore tne Doara in tne
spring will be the appointment of
next year's staffs to the Corn
husker and Awgwan and first
semester's staff to The Daily Ne
braskan. The new members of the board
which will be chosen at the spring
elections will not take office until
next year.
Fred Grau, senior class presi
dent, said yesterday that he did
not know whether the matter of
filling the vacancy would be con
sidered at the senior class meet
ing held this morning at 11 o'clock
in social science auditorium.
4-H CLUB BOOKLET
IS PRINTED BY AG
EXTENSION OFFICE
Fifty thousand copies of a book
let, "Boys and Girls 4-H Clubs,"

sion department of the college of
agriculture. The booklet defines
4-H clubs; tells how to join one;
lists requirements; in fact, il
lustrates every phase of 4-H club
work. It is tlj? aim of the exten
sion department to send one of
these booklets to every boy and
girl in the state.
M. L. Flack, also of the exten
sion department, has prepared a
"Dairy Calf Club Manual" which
will be ready for distribution
within the next few weeks. The
circular gives information for pre

.FOR RADIO AUDITION
Students Between Ages of
18 and 25 Eligible
For Contests.
Announcement has been made
by the Atwater Kent foundation of
the fifth national radio audition,
offering $25,000 in cash awards
and musical scholarships. This
contest is open to any man or
woman between the ages of 18 and
25 years, anywhere in the United
States.
Mn the four previous contests the
college students have in each case
been among the finalists.
Selection of candidates for final
awards is made by joint ballot of
radio listeners nad professional
Judges. The wards are as follows:
Two first awards, for a young
man and a young woman respec
tively, of $5,000 cash and two two
year scholarships in any musical
conservatory or under any recog
nized vocal teacher the winners
may elect. 0
Two second awards of $3,000
and one year scholarship each.
Two thirds awards of 82,000
and a one year scholarship each.
Two fourth awards of $1,500
and a one year scholarship each.
Two fifth awards of $1,000 and
a one year scholarship each.
The headquarters of the fifth
national radio audition are in the
Albee building, Washington, D. C,
and the organization of state and
community committees to take
charge of preliminary tests during
the spring and summer months
will begin at once.
A required course in the use of
the library has been suggested by
a faculty member or tne univer
sity of Oregon for the purpose of
aiding students to do their work in
the shortest possible period of
time. An astounding ignorance of
methods of obtaining library mate
rial has been demonstrated, not
only by freshmen but also by
upperclassmen, so that such a
course has become almost abso
lutely necessary, it was stated.

coutributors.
The keynote of the magazine,
according to Prof. L. C. Wlmberly
of the English department and edi
tor of the publication, is happiness.
"This," the editor declared, "was
done partially through a desire to
relieve the gloom of economic de
pression and partially in response
to complaints from its readers that
the magazine had been too solemn
in the past."
Many or the old contributors
have work in this number Includ
ing stories by Edythe Squler
Draper, and Frederick L. Christen
sen had essays and articles by Nel
lie Jane Compton and Martin Sev-
