LIBRARIAN GIVES ADDRESS.
Gilbert Doane, ' university li
brarian, spoke at the Nebraska
Genealogical society's annual meet
ing. Friday, on "The Early History
gC Rhode Island."
Dr. Walker of Botany Department
Leaving For Year's Study, Praises
Relations With Panhellenic Group
Expressing complete satisfaction at tbe co-operation which
co-ed sorority representatives had given her, Dr. Elda R.
Walker, faculty advisor to the Panhellenic council and assistant
professor of botany, reviewed her relations with that body dur
ing the past year and a half, Saturday morning. Dr. Walker is
leaving next week-end for the Hawaiian islands where she will
spend several monins siuayiugu-
tropical vegetation.
"The attitude of Panhellenic rep
resentatives has been highly com
mendable," Dr. Walker said. '"Dur
ing the past semester it has been
marked by a desire to curb ex
penses wherever possible. Several
large sororities are giving no
downtown parties because they feel
that the expense is prohibitive. One
of the outstanding actions taken
by the Panhellenic council during
the past semester was that of co
operating with the Interfraternity
council in a successful effort to
force hotels and orchestras to re
duce prices."
Sorority observance of rushing
rules has been good, according to
Dr. Walker, who reports that only
a very few minor Infractions of
rules have occurred during the
time of her connection with the
Panhellenic council. Penalties were
imposed on violators. Miss Walker
said, to check further infractions.
"Rushing rules, as were in force
last fall, were passed last spring
and although they proved fairly
satisfactory the Panhellenic coun
cil has found several weaknesses
and is at present revising them
again," Dr. Walker explained.
MORITZ POINTS OUT
Teachers Too Are Feeling
Crisis Says Nebraska
Educator.
CITES LOWER SALARIES
"No occupation, trade or profes
sion has escaped the adverse ef
fects of the economic depression
of the past two years, and the
teaching profession is feeling it
now with steadily increasing
force," stated R. D. Moritz, direc
tor of the department of educa
tional service at the University of
Nebraska, in a recent interview.
"Early in the spring of 1931 pol
icies of retrenchment by public of
ficials were very much in evidence
at the annual elections and re-
elections of teachers,," he said
"In many places scheduled raises
were not forthcoming, and in many
more, teachers were given the
alternative of accepting a redue
tion in salary or of assuming addi
tional responsibilities in order that
the work might be performed by
fewer employees. Confronted with
the necessity of reducing school
budgets, school boards could find
no other solution to the problem
Moritz pointed out that while
this method of retrenchment solved
the local problem, it aggravated
the situation in another direction
by increasing the number of un
employed teachers. Added to. this,
he said, is the fact that the teacher
turnover in 1931 was the smallest
that it has been for years. Fewer
teachers resigned to enter other
occupations or to accept domestic
responsibilities than would have
done so under normal conditions.
Consequently, every teachers'
placement bureau reported more
than normal over supply of well
qualified teachers In the spring of
"This surplus has been increased
in recent months by the growing
number of men and women from
other occupations and professions
who, having been forced into the
ranks of the unemployed, are seek
ing employment as teachers," Mor
itz continued. "Most of these new
comers are college or university
graauai.es in law, business admin
istration, pharmacy, engineering,
or liberal arts. Many are married
women who find it necessary to
secure employment in order to re
lieve their straightened circum
stances and turn to teaching as
the only way out.
"Discouraging as the Immediate
outlook Is, the situation has its

Dean Henzlik Publishes
' Three Education Papers
Three articles by Dean F. E.
Henzlik of the teachers college
have recently been published. "The
Small Town SuDerintendencv as a
Future Career" was published in
the December lamia nf tha School
Executives magazine. Appearing
In the Nebraska Educational Jour
nal for January is the article on
"Some Fundamental Objectives in
the Training of Teachers," and in
the January issue of Educational
Methods was published an article
nn "rwalrshla rTiararteristlcs to
Look for in Evaluating the Recita
tion."
Dr. Walker, who has been con
nected with .the University of Ne
braska faculty since 1906, has no
patience with the school of con
temporary critics who are con
stantly predicting a gloomy fu
ture for the younger generation.
"It is always amusing to hear
people speak of the frivolous atti
tude of our "jazz age" youngsters.
Personally I have no doubt but
that they will all be good citizens
of this country. Although students
on the surface may appear to be
indifferent to problems which they
must face they are serious at
heart."
Dr. Walker is now on one semes
ter leave of absence from the Uni
versity of Nebraska. She will go
first to Tuscon, Ariz., where she
will use the facilities of the Uni
versity of Arizona in studying
desert vegetation. She also plans
to visit some of the California uni
versities enroute to the islands.
In Hawaii she will use the facili
ties of the University of Hawaii
and the Bishop museum. Among
other plans she intends to visit the
Island of Hawaii on which grows
a mammoth fern forest. She will
return to Nebraska in late summer.
TEACHING JOBSARE SCARCE
Education Service Says Calls
For Candidates Cut in
Half During Year.
Records of the department of
educational service show a consid
erable over supply in the number
of teacher candidates in relation to
the number of positions available.
From Sept. 1, 1931, to Jan. 27,
1932, 881 applicants for teaching
Eositions registered at the bureau,
luring the same period, the bureau
received only 57 calls for teachers.
Last year, that is from Sept. 1,
1930 to Jan. 27, 1931, 668 appli
cants registered while 114 calls
were placed. Just twice the num
ber of calls for teachers were made
a year ago.
Patterson Advises
Testament Study .
To Attain Culture
It you want to be cultured, study
the Old Testament.
This is the advice Dr. Charles
H. Patterson, professor of philos
ophy at the University of Nebras
ka, gave to members of the Ne
braska State Nurses s association
assembled in convention at the
Lincoln hotel Friday. His subject
was "The Meaning of Culture."
"A person who would be cul
tured," the professor said, "must
read some books, especially those
representing outstanding achieve
ments of the various races. I
would suggest, for example, that
you get this background by read
ing the Old Testament and thus
learn about the Hebrews or the
works of Plato and get an insight
into the Greeks."
By culture is meant the attitude
a person has toward the problems
of life, as viewed on the whole,
rather than any segment of it, Dr.
Patterson asserted.
"Culture is just like a picture
puzzle, in ortier to be complete it
must nave an me parts," ne con
tinued. "A cultured person must
see the world from five different
angles, natural science, history,
great literature, art and religion."
How the right kind of an educa
tion aids the student in becoming
cultured can be proved by taking
any freshman to a museum and he
will see nothing, "but bring him
back when a senior and he will
see it all," the professor pointed
out.

$1,000 as an Aid to
Worthy Students.
A donation of $1,000 to the Uni
versity of Nebraska student loan
fund has been announced by the
University authorities. The donor
was Mr. J. C. Seacrest, Lincoln
publisher. The fund will be known

LAWRENCE TALKS AT
MEETING OF AD CLUB
Speaker Says Newspaper
Is Best Medium of
Advertiser.
"The newspaper is a living,
breathing, pulsating human docu
ment and not Just a manufactured
product of ink and paper," said J.
E. Lawrence, managing editor of
the Lincoln Star and associate pro
fessor of journalism, in an address
to the Lincoln Advertising club at
its Monday luncheon. The news
paper is a reflection of the souls of
the men who work on it," he de
clared. In regard to adverting Mr.
Lawrence said, "We have had men
in industry and business who ap
preciated the value of advertising
and that is why America is on such
a high national plane." He declared
that the newspaper furnishes the
most efficient medium for the advertiser.
Chih Ilsien Yao, Hall Huang, Chinese
Students Discouraged Over The Dark
Future Facing Their Mother Country
A black future for their country is soon by two Chinese
students in an interview appearing in the Lincoln Star recently.
The foreign scholars are discouraged more by the inlcinal weak
nesses of their country than by Japanese aggression, they said.
Disheartened by news of bombings in Shanghai, the stu
dents Chih Hsien Yao and Hall Huang placed the blame for
the situation not so much on theo;
Japanese as on the political organ
ization in China.
Th Chapei section of Shanghai,
which suffered most from the
bombings, is the best residential
part of the city, Huang said. The
Commercial Press, which was
wrecked by bomb attacks, is the
largest printing plant in China, ac
cording to Yao. It and the depots
which were also bombed are near
the Chapei region.
Walts Word From Brother.
Both Yao and Huang have
friends in Shanghai about whom
they are deeply concerned. Yao
has a brother in Antung which is
located in the southern sector of
Manchuria.
Because it takes a month for a
letter to reach Yao, the last time
he heard from his brother, was be
fore the more recent trouble in the
Far East. At that time, there was
little fighting going on in Man
churia, his brother reported, and
his family was safe. But Japanese
censorship kept the brother from
telling any details of the Man
churian situation or from voicing
any protests against Japanese ac
tivity there.

Old Edison Record
. Preserves Nebraska
Chancellor's Talk
Twenty-seven years after he
made it, a speech by Dr. E. Ben
jamin Andrews, former chancellor
of the university and the eighth
president of Brown university,
thrilled the alumni of Brown at
a gathering held recently on the
campus.
"Benny" Andrews, one of
America's greatest educators, was
chancellor here when he made the
speech heard by the old Brown
Alumni association. He wrote the
words in Lincoln in 1905 and
recorded them on one of the old
fashioned Edison disc records,
made of wax.
Dr. A. D. Mead, acting president
of Brown, remembered the speech
and its effect on the gathering at
that time, and shortly after he
was told of the plans for the all
Rhode Island dinner he bfgan to
consider a way to put a surprise
element into the program. He
recalled that many years ago he
had been to a Brown alumni meet
ing and that there he had heard
the speech of Dr. Andrews repro
duced by the phonograph.
Dr. Mead soon learned that
V. E. Whltaker, of the class of
'88, then secretary of the alumni
group, was pretty sure he had
saved the record and could find it
in his attic. He did, so the Brown
alumni heard a twenty-seven
year old speech.

STUDENT ISJRAVELY ILL
Leslie Rood's Condition Is
Serious After Operation
For Appendicitis.
Leslie Rood, sophomore student
in the arts and science college,
from Omaha, is in a serious con
dition at the Lincoln General hos
pital following an operation for
appendicitis. Rood has been a
member of the swimming squad
and haa been working on the busi
ness aide of the Cornhusker and
Awgwan. He is a member of Delta
Upsilon.
Rood was taken ill last Satur
day with influenza which aggra
vated an attack of appendicitis
and made an operation necessary.
Since the operation other compli
cations have set In to make his
case exceedingly grave, physicians
report.
lish with difficulty both Yao and
Huang have been io the United
States less than throe years the
two students shook their heads In
despair over the political situation
in China.
Blames Kuomintang.
It is the Koumintang, they say
which is at the root of all the
trouble. Tho Koumintang to China
is a counterpart of what fascism
is to Italy. It is the dominant po
litical party which suppresses all
other political organizations, which
denies other parties or unsympa
thetic groups the right to hold
meetings, and which rules China
with dictatorial powers.
It is because of the attitude of
the Koumintang that Chinese
banditry has become so rampant,
the students say. And it is further
the Koumintang's stand which has
permitted the Japanese to enter
China without much active Chin
ese opposition.
Both Huang and Yao believe
China foolish to rely so much on
the League of Nations.
"Maybe it could help if China
would help itself and fight back
when Japan attacks," Huang said.

Says Chancellor. ;'.

PREPARATION ESSENTIAL
University Head Believe?
Now Is Best Time to
Get Education.
"Every student who can possibly
remain in school, whether it be
university, college, or high school,
should do so," Chancellor E. A.
Burnett said yesterday in com
menting on the start of second
semester work. "Parents should
co-operate and make every effort
to see that their children's educa-
tion is not interrupted.
"I recall the advice given by
Chancellor Canfield of this univer
sity in the panic times of the 90's.
'If you can not earn, you can at
least learn,' the chancellor de
clared, and what good advice it
was. We all know that conditions
did improve and that those boys
and girls who went ahead and
prepared for a life work were the
successful men and women ten
years later. f - - - ' -
"There is no investment com
parable to the investing of time
and money in one's self. Stocks
and bonds may depreciate, real
estate become hard to sell, com
modities go for next to nothing,
and yet time and money invested
in education pay dividends all thru
life. You are the only one who
can render such an investment
worthless.
"Education today is doubly im
portant," he said. "Not only are
ordinary positions hard to secure,
but with the competition prevail
ing the young man or woman best
prepared has the greatest oppor
tunity. Hard times should always
be times of preparation for some
thing better in the future. A
little extra effort, a little extra
economy, and determination are
needed."
