WHY LEAVE LINCOLN?
NSTEAD of leaving Friday after
noon to attend a picnic or some
other family gathering in the home
town, many students are inviting
their parents and friends to Lin
coln to enjoy the 'lumerous enter
tainments that are being planned
for July 3rd and 4th. For the va
rious events which will be offered
in Lincoln this week end will not
be equalled any place.
Outstanding among the holiday
entertainment is the A. A. U. track
and field chompionships which will
be staged at the stadium Friday
and Saturday. With close to 500 of
the bc3t athletes in the United
States already entered in the com
petition. Nebraskans will witness
the finest aggregation of track
stars and most exciting contests
ever offered to track fans in the
history of the sport. That many of
the world records will be broken is
so probable that one man will de
vote his entire time verifying new
records and securing the necessary
signatures.
The meet has beea planned so
that spectators -vill be given every
opportunity to watch the perform
ances in every event. A popular
announcer has been secured to give
the results, explain events and aid
in every way to make the meet en
joyable for those unfamiliar with
the sport.
Joe Brown, famed comedian, will
also be present at the meet. Scenes
for a new talking picture are to be
filmed at the stadium during that
time, and on Friday afternoon a
comedy exhibition will be run be
tween Brown and Frank Wykoff,
world's champion rprinter.
"The Seige of 1918," an Ameri
can Legion program to be given
Friday evening, visits to the Capi
tol, shows, picnics, swimming, and
a host of other amusements are
offered this year to those who
fpend the holiday in Lincoln.
Is it any wonder vhat summer
students are reversing the usual
order of going home during vaca
tion periods and inviting their
parents to take part m the celebra
tion in Lincoln?
STUDENT OPINION
Pursuit of Leisure.
The student who is incessantly
looking for a cool spot and a fine
way to spend his leisure hours is
the one who fails to find comfort
or pleasure anywhere. Far better
off is he who forgets about the
height of the mercury in the ther
mometers and uses his would be
drab hours doing things of educa
tional value and of interest.
Idleness is the most unpleasant
part of leisure. Remember that you
do not suffer physically when you
feel a warm breeze slapping you
in the face. It is your conscience
that is suffering, causing you bod
ily discomfort. Forget the heat and
be fair to yourself and your work.

DENVER Creating an interna
tional house for Denver and the
west that is the task a group of
linguists at Denver university have
set themselves to achieve. A fra
ternity bouse at the edge of the
campus is the setting and there are
thirty students enrolled in the
French and Spanish sections. The
house has been decorated with
posters from France and Spain
and the only languages heard in its
drawing rooms, dining room and
halls are Spanish and French.

WHAT THEY SAY
WORK OF THE UNIVERSITY.
Following the activities of the
agricultural department of the
University of Nebraska is an in
tensely interesting occupation. Too
many people regard the great
school as a place where boys and
girls are converted into fraternity
brothers or sorority sisters. That
is some of them, while many more
are left out in the darkness that
is supposed to envelope the
"barbs."
Investigation will disclose that
the university has other work on
hand. It turns out something be
side football players, sprinters and
weight tossers.
Just now it is actively pursuing
the barberry bush. That doesn't
mean much to the city man, who
likes a barberry hedge, but it does
mean a lot to the wheat grower.
For the barberry is host to a pe
culiarly vicious enemy of the
wheat plant, the rust that destroys
whole fields at times. Also, the
experts of the university are show
ing the fruit growers how to take
care of their trees, shrubs and
beds. Second spraying is now ad
vised, to preserve the growing crop
just now in a critical stage.
Dairying is getting attention. A
speaker recently told his hearers
that the "man who milks a cow
that annually yields less than 100
Dounds of butter fat is either fond
or milking or unusually kind to
animals," for her yield does not
pay for her feed. The dairy ex
perts at Lincoln are supervising
dairy herds throughout the state,
and find that cows are yielding as
high as 60 pounds of butterfat a
month, and the average is between
50 and 60 pounds.
Stock growers get advice as to
the methods of feeding, or how and
when to breed or to market. A
variety of wheat, developed on the
testing farms of the school has
enormously increased the yield and
the quality of the grain produced
in Nebraska. Corn has been im
proved in yield and quality.
All this has nothing to do with
the doctors, lawyers, engineers,
teachers and other highly trained
and thoroughly educated students
who come from the university each
year. The great school is actually
turning back to the state each
year far more than the cost of
maintaining it. From the OMAHA

It Takes a Supcrsdlesman to Make
A Successful Teacher, Hosman Says
A successful teacher might well
be called a supersalesman.
That is the opinion of E. M.
Hosman, secretary of the Ne
braska State Teachers association
who believes that a teacher must
dispose of several marketable
products, Including herself, if she
is to be successful.
"Salesmanship is an essential
part of the teachers equipment if
s5 Is to be a skillful one," Mr.
Hosman declares. "Of course she
doesn't sell prunes, ribbons, or
stocks, tut she sells something far
more intangible and consequently
much harder to sell herself and
her -r "ssional practice."
A teacher's task of selling her
self arises when she attempts to
get a position, Mr. Hosman points
out.'In such a case she must prove
to the school board or the super
intendent that she is the person
they want for the position and
this takes salesmanship. Once
her job is landed she has the
added task of selling her profes
sional practice to the children in
her room in order that she may
make them "like to want to
study."
An effective way of meeting
problems, Mr. Hosman advises, is
for a teacher to use the medium
of legitimate publicity.
BETWEEN CLASSES
By Jack Erickson
An Amusing Incident: A girl, at
tending the University of Ne
braska summer session, has re
cently had several engagements
with a certain worldly gentleman,
but they have been abruptly term
inated. After three or four "dates"
in what she classed as "a swell
roadster," he suddenly called her
and said he couldn't be over that
evening as he had sold his car.
Slightly perturbed at the sudden
turn of events the girl and one of
her woman companions went for
a ride in the open air. While
cruising about she sighted the
roadster she once rode in and
wondered. After driving around
the block they saw the erstwhile
gentleman escorting another girl
to "the car he had sold." Not long
afterwards they again saw the
sold car. It was empty and im
pelled by curiosity the girl topped
to examine the nameplate, only to
find, alack and alas, that the
"sold" car was the possession of a
woman and undoubtedly had
been at the time she had so
grandly ridden in it.
POLITICS.
pOING FROM the ridiculous to
the sublime if there is any
thing in the least about politics
which smacks even faintly f sub
limity one is immediately con
fronted with the burst of energy
with which Dr. Herbert Hoover has
entered into the 1932 nominating
campaign. About two weeks ago
he set political tongues wagging
with his three speeches one be
fore an Indiana press conference,
another at the dedicatory ceremon
ies of the loner-unveiled Harding
memorial and another at the Lin
coln memorial in Springfield.
He then lansed. for a few days,
into a period of comparative si
lence, content to let nis puDiicuy
director turn out stories about
boys who take their collies to the
White house to play with Presi
dent Hoover's dogs, and such
pother. Now he has set diplomats
and high government officials in
every nation of Europe to tugging
at their chin whiskers following
his debt postponment proposal
called a moratorium to make it
sound more stupendous and collos
sal. The new plan has been wild
ly lauded by high moguls of every
description both in the fields of
business and government. By a
few it has been criticized but
these criticisms, with the exception
of those .voiced by William Ran
dolph Hearst thru his web of news
papers, have been almost inaudible.
It is inevitable that the plan will
be carried out and several Euro
pean nations are practically ready
to proclaim him king. With things
standing as they are now there is
no question but what Herbert
Hoover, the Great Engineer, will
be the republican party's presiden
tial candidate in 1932.
