years old and small.) and said:
'You go duck hunting. That Ger
man course can wait till next
year.'- You aee he sympathised
with the youth before him and
realised that I had to go duck
hunting. I realized, too, why it waa
that students respected him."
Mr. Ballard recalls many inci
dents relative to hla study here.
He particularly calls to mind the
memories involving his English
studies and bis dramatic aspira
tions which even at that time he
knew were not In the field of the
public speaker. Making a speech
was alwaya one of his pet fears
.and dislikes. He mentions his ac
tivities in that connection:
Not a Speaker.
"I took a course in public speak
ing under Miss Alice Howell, but
t in spite of Professor Howells' in
finite patience and skill as an In
structor, I cannot to this day
make anything but an ass of my
self when attempting to make a
platform speech. When I rise to
make a few remarks, not only does
my mind cease to function, but my
breathing likewise halts, my heart
convulses and for days after all 1
at is Agar."
For that reaosn, Ballard added,
he has never played In any drama,

amateur or otherwise, nor has he
belonged to any dramatic club.
"I am a member of the Drama
tists' Guild of the Authors League
of America because no playwright
can sell a play for production
without being a member of that
very special organization. But the
only way in which I could ever
qualify for membership in the Ac
tor Equity would be to play deaf
mute parts exclusively," be de
clared. Comments on Nebraskant.
Ballard's informal comment con
cerning Nebraskant of the early
1900's continued:
"Dean Ringer, one of the best
centers Nebraska football ever had
and in those days centers had to
be big and fast is now living In
Omaha. Cy Mason, another foot
ball giant when Bummy Booth
was turning out championship
teams, has also landed in Omaha.
Bill Ramsey, now a lawyer, but
then just a boy from Plattsmouth
who became a captain of R. O. T.
.C, Company C, and finally mar
ried a charming girl from Beat
rice. Frank Bullts, the campus
Beau Brummel and everybody's
friend.
Walter Standeven was one of
the pluckiest football players I
have ever seen. Harry O. Palmer,
graduate of Nebraska Wesleyan,
was reporting news for the Lin
coln State Journal; Arthur L. Pal
mer, the Louisville slugger, and
mentor of Squam Lake, N. H. Al
Munger, who went to Harvard law
school, where I sold htm a dress
suit which F,ddle Edmunds, a Ne
braskan, had sold me to raise the
money with which to buy flowers
for the Nebraska coed who even
tually became Mrs. Edmunds and
lived in Omaha, I believe."
"Keene Abbott, one of Nebras
ka's best writers, had left the uni
versity before I entered; but the
professors were still talking about
him when I got there talking en
thusiastically. Gained Recognition Here.
Ballard first gained recognition
by writing in Professor Scott's
English class a play called "The
Eagles' Nest" which resulted in his
going to Harvard to ake Pro
fessor George P. Baker's course in
play writing. That course was re
sponsible for hia writing "Believe
Me, Xantippe," a popular comedy
later adapted to the screen for the
late Wallace Reid who furthered
the success of it and its author.
The play won for Ballard the
coveted Baker prize for outstand
ing work.
Besides "Believe Me Xantippe,"
he wrote "Young America" and
the well known "Ladies of the
Jury." The Ballard family has two
children David, twelve, ana Louise,
six.
According to Ballard, Nebraska
has two organizations of which it
should be proud the University
Players and the Community Play-

Hugh Rhea of Arlington has indicated that his performances
this spring in the shotput are likely to produce some new records.
He pushed the lead ball 50 feet 8 inches a little more than a week
ago.
Two times this year and once last year Rhea has gone over
the fifty foot mark in the shot put. His most recent episode was dur
ing the K-Aggie dual last Saturday, when he garnered a 50 foot
one inch toss.
Rhea holds the national junior A. A. U. record when he won
the event last summer at Pittsburgh. He bids well to sweep up more
honors.

had four other deans fclnce that
time with the present dean, Dean
Foster, has occupied the position
since 1926.
Prof. Charles Robbins, one of
the oldest members of the law col
lege faculty, has been with the
college since it was first founded
In 1891. Prof. Robbins is more
than eighty years old and is plan
ning to retire after this year. Prof.
H. H. Wilson and his son Ralph
Wilson have also been connected
with the college since its founding.
At the present time there are
about 160 students in the law col
lege. This number is somewhat
less than the number in previous
years. Dean Foster attributes this
to the fact that the law field is
very much overcrowded, arid that
students are finding this out. some
of them turning to other fields.
FIRST PING PONG
ROUNDS EXTENDED
THRUJTHIS WEEK
Time for playing off matches
in the first and second rounds of
the ping pong tournament has
been extended to March 7 accord
ing to an announcement made
from the Intramural office yesterday.
Girls entered in these rounas
must complete their matches by
this date. Names of players and
their opponents are posted on the
bulletin board in the lobby of the
women s gymnasium and each
girl is requested to make arrange
ments to play her game during
the week. Tables are available
in the individual gym room and
the lobby. Winners are responsi
ble for observing their progress
and playing off their games.
CIVIL EXAMS ARE GIVEN
More than a score of University
of Nebraska students took junior
engineering civil service examina
tions last week. Tests were given
in civil, mechanical, electrical and
structural engineering.
STUDENT IS SUPERIOR
Outside Activities Don't
Hinder Studies, Says
Syracuse Man.
SYRACUSE, N. Y. Does work
ing one's way thru college help
or hinder education? What are the
pros and cons of this question?
A carefully controlled piece of ex
perimentation has shown that the
students of Yale and Princeton as
well as the students at Syracuse
who have done a moderate amount
of self-support work do consider
ably better in their studies than
the non-working students.
In addition to being motivated
to do better work, the working
student has another distinct ad
vantage in that there is an almost
uniform agreement that the self
supporting ctudent is a very de
sirable person to whom to offer a
Job.
Doctor Watt, personnel director
for men of Syracuse in considering
this problem stated that if one of
the first considerations of one's
education is the securing of a posi
tion which will provide a com
fortable llvlihood, then having
worked for a part of one's ex
penses is a distinct advantage.
Doesn't Guarantee Success.
This does not mean, however,
that everyone who does remuner
ative work will get better grades
because of this. He believes that a
careful study of the situation
would reveal that the excessive
self support activities of students
must be reduced materially if the
continual raising of the scholastic
standards at this university is to
continue.
Merely having been a self sup
porting student does not guaran
tee a good position upon gradua
tion. Many of the students who are
offered numerous opportunities
have never contributed to then
support, while in college, while the
others who have been largely self
supporting fall to show the other
qualities which make them attrac
tive prospects for an interesting
position.
Should Concentrate Efforts.
The average student has only
four short years during which to
train his mind and it is Dr. Watt's
conviction that as much as pos-

slble of one's time and energy
should be spent upon intellectual
acitvitles other than the less in
structlve remunerative work which
generally falls to the lot of work
ing students.
"We must recognize," says Dr.
Watt, "that self support will be
one of the Important problems at
vrru tar rnnnv vears. and that
it is the duty of the university to
assist these students in whatever
way It can. It is also the duty of
the university," he continues, "to
keep ever before the students that
they are here for an education,
that supporting one's self while at
college, while it has Its advantages
can never be looked upon as any
thing but a necessary evil."

Our twelve -billion-dollar pot
Since the beginning of time, cooking has
been a family affair each family for itself; a
potful at a time. But the past decade has seen
a great change. The old family cooking pot
has gone the way of the old oaken bucket.
And in its place is a new American phenom
enon: the twelve-billion-dollar pot.
In this pot, 55,000 factories are stewing and
brewing and preparing most of your food . . :
and yours . . . and yours an annual produc
tion of almost twelve billions of dollars.
These 55,000 plants represent America's
food industry. They are scattered throughout
the nation.They make everything from canned
foods to beverages, from ice cream to packed
meats. But in
every one of
them, a staff of
technical experv;
is facing the
same problems
of production,
is working for a
common cause:
Business mtn. industrialists and engineers 600,000 of them regularly
read the McGraw-Hill Publications. More than 3,000,000 Bse McGraw
Hill books and magazine in their business.

the delectation of the public palate, the
nourishment of the nation.
Until two years ago, there was little coopers
tion or interchange of ideas in this vast enter
prise. Then a McGraw-Hill Publication, Food
Industries, came upon the scene . . . linked
together the members of the industry . . j
opened its columns exclusively to news and
discussions of their common problems . . .
provided a veritable melting pot for food ideas;
In almost every industry, a McGraw-Hill
paper is occupying a role of like importancej
You will find such a publication aiding and
interpreting the industry you expect to enter;
If you want to keep abreast of its ltest trends
and develop
ments get this
publication from
your librarian;
