ANTI-SMOKE BILL
TO
Clause Banning Smoking in
Appertinances to Uni
Buildings Killed.
SENATORS MAY OBJECT
Puts Law Behind Regents'
Rule Against Use of
Tobacco Indoors.
Nebraska's proposed anti
smoking bill, which passed the
senate by a large majority some
time ago, will be considered for
the first time in the house of rep
resentatives today. However, it
vill be a vastly different bill than
the one that received the support
of the senate.
Before reporting the bill, the
committee on miscellaneous sub
jects stripped it of much of its
"potency by striking out the clause
"appurtenances thereto" making
it apply only to buildings. Thus,
even if the proposed bill were to
become a law it would not pre
vent smoking on the campus nor
in the stadium during the fall foot
hall contests.
Senate Reviews.
If the house of representatives
pass the bill as reported by the
committee it must be returned to
the senate again for action on the
bill as modified. There is room
for logical doubt that the bill as
reported to the house of represent
atives will ever receive the sup
port of the senate.
There is already a regent's rul
ing against smoking in university
buildings and. while Ihe proposed
bill would legislate against smok
ing in all public school buildings,
many of the senators who sup
ported the bill as originally writ
ten contend that the bill as modi
jied by the house committee would
t!o little good, and would be as dif
ficult to enforce in the university
buildings as is the regent's ruling.
The house will convene this aft
ernoon at 1:30 and the anti-smoking
bill. Senate File S2, will be
one of the first questions placed
before the representatives.
MISS MILLER GOES
TO ATHLETIC MEET
Tells of Experiences at
Conference and of
Chicago Visit.
. Miss Bernice Miller, secretary of
the University Y. W. C. A. in her
talk, 'Recreation of Adults," which
she gave at the American Physi
cal Education association national
' convention, in Detroit last week,
stressed recreation for working
v.-omen during their leisure time.
Miss Miller spoke at the Woman's
Athletic meeting and was also so
cial chairman for the convention,
three thousand delegates from all
over the United States being r res
ent. Stopping over in Chicago tor a'
few days. Miss Miller visited one
of the settlements there, where
she came into close contact with
the prevailing social problem of
unemployment. Residents in that
district bad been reduced to four
and three and a half day employ
ment and some of the finest
trained people were found in the
old clothes room seeking charily.
Of the 450,000 unemployed. 75,000
had relied upon charily this year
and next year the problem will un
doubtedly be twice as bad because
of existing conditions.
Problem It Serious.
In Detroit the community chest
committee reported that eight mil
lion dollars had been spent on
charity for the unemployed. Yet
the Ford plant there stated that
they had three hundred million
dollars cash on hand. Miss Miller
urged that students planning to
work next year be warned of the

The two cases reported were

SCOUTS WILL STAGE
Lincoln TrooD Plans Novel
Affair on Campus
April 18.
TO FLY MODEL PLANES
The university coliseum, long
accustomed to every kind of activ
ity ranging from Big Six basket
ball gsmes to hardware conven
tion, is to have a new show, abso
lutely different than anything else
ever presented within its confines.
Lincoln's first boy scout circus,
in which 1,200 boys from Lincoln
and in the Cornhusker scout area
are to participate, is scheduled for
the "big top" April 18. Elaborate
plans are being made in which
every activity cf scouting is to be
presented within a program of
two hours and a half.
As a prelude and in preparation
for the big event of April 18,-an
aeroplane tournament is to be
staged in the coliseum this Satur
day. About 125 boys are to dem
onstrate their model ships, pow
ered by rubber bands, during the
afternoon. A feature of the tourna
ment will be a scout-dad event
which will wind jp the program.
Ships entered in this competition
must be built co-operatively by
the fathers and sons, and both
must take part in the launching of
their ships Saturday.
This competition is a "workout"
for the aviation act in the circus
on the following Saturday evening.
The scouts will open t!he aviation
act with the assembling of a De
Haviland Gypsy Moth, and follow
ing this approximately 150 gliders
will set sail from all corners of the
coliseum. Winners of the tourna
ment will be given their awards
before the opening of the act.
The aviation act is but one of
eighteen acts to be presented dur
ing the evening. It is being spon
sored by E. R. Colvert. Lincoln
aviation enthusiast.
The entire scout circus is under
the direction of A. J. Gillette, scout
executive for the Cornhusker area,
which embraces central and south
ern Nebraska.

considerable experience in that
sort of thing, works the plot

APPROPRIATIONS
BILL PASSES IN
Goes Through Lower House
As Sent to Committee
By Governor.
ALL INCREASES BLOCKED
No Building Funds Voted to
University; All State
Institutions Cut.
By a ruin of interpretation, the
general appropriations bill went
thru the lower house of the Ne
braska legislature Monday exactly
aa it was sent to the committee
some ten weeks ago by Governor
Bryan.
The bill as originally presented
to the house by the committee
would have increased various ap
propriations over those recom
mended by Governor Charles
Rrvan hut when it came to a vote
Monday, democratic members
blocked the passage or me meas
ure as recommended by the com
mittee. Has 51 Votes.
However, the bill did receive 51
votes, a majority of the lower
house, which Speaker Kier ruled
was a constitutional majority ex
cept on items increased over the
Bryan budget by the committee,
and on new items inserted. Under
the ruling, all new items automa
tically failed, and those increased
beyond the governor's recommen
dations did not hold.
. The bill as it went to senate by
the house Monday provided only
small appropriations for the uni
versity, and does not look to the
construction of any new buildings.
The house finance commitee rec
ommended far greater appropria
tions, and also the construction of
a dormitory for women in addi
tion to a new home economics
building on the agricultural cam
pus. No New Items.
As the bill went to the senate,
there are no appropriations for
the reference bureau, child wel
fare, state library commission, and
other things. State institution ap
propriations are decreased in al
most all cases.
Jelen of Douglas, Jensen of
Dodge, Meline of Kearney, Rohlff
of Douglas and Whlted of Douglas
were the democrats who voted with
the republicans for the bill as it
came out from the finance com
mittee. Additional democrats who
passed on roll call: Crounse of
Douglas, Binfield of Hall, Musser
of Sheridan, and Tesar of Douglas.
Should the senate see fit to pass
the measure in the same form
which the house passed it, the
executive. Governor Bryan, would
be directly in line of any adverse
sentiment against the appropria
tions, lor the house acted exactly
as Governor Bryan recommended.

STUDY OF EXPRESSION
IS SCIENCE-RUC1ICK
Iowa Psychologist Gives
Illustrated Lecture on
Facial Emotion.
EXPLAINS IMPORTANCE
"Study of the psychology of fa
cial expression is most important
in that it affords a means to a
new description of facial emotion,"
Dr. C. R. Ruckmick declared in
his address in Social Science audi
torium last night It is a truism,
he said, that the whole personality
lies in the face and the face is
the index of the moral, mental and
intellectual character.
Dr. Ruckmick lectured on the
psychology of facial expression be
fore an enthusiastic audience that
completely filled the auditorium.
Many were turned away. He is a
professor of psychology at Iowa
university and one of the eminent
psychologists in the United States.
The local chapter of Psi Chi spon
sored the lecture and altho Ruck
mick had prepared a technical ad
dress he succeeded in presenting
his subject in a manner that was
understandable to the layman.
Traces Evolution.
Dr. Ruckmick opened his lecture
by tracing the development of the
study of psychology from its early
beginnings under Gaul down thru
the modern exponents. He brought
out the point that Professor Guil
ford of the University of Nebraska
is the inventor of a new type of
interchangeable frontal view pic
ture that is used in studying facial
expressions. The use of pictures or
photographs was first developed
by Feilicky and his work was later
expanded by Dr. Ruckmick him
self. "There are three types of facial
expression under which all our
emotions are classified." the
speaker said. They are the ex
pressions of astonishment, joy and
grief, and a dozen muscle sets pro
duce all the facial effects. The
study of these expressions is taken
from observations of animals, peo
ples of the world and patients be
ing treated in clinics, and proves
to be an exhorbitantly interesting
study. Dr. Ruckmick stressed the
point that the road is now open to
experiences heretofore closed to
the psychologist, and emotions are
being classified for scientific pur
poses. On this superstructure
mental life can be built.
Study Extends.
The results of this study of fa
cial expression are extending them
selves into almost every commer
cial and professional field, Mr.
Ruckmick pointed out. Dramatists,
actors, professional men, business

Backus declared tbt the slump

not far off," declared Miss Lee,

such a movement. Women have
been in favor of the movement for
years, and the men are gradually
being won over to the soundness
of tne theory."
