The front of the cabinet is heated by ordi nary 100-watt, frosted globes, the sides by special carbon-filament lamps, and the back by special ultra-violet lamps. The principle of this cabinet, as well as that of the other two, is to give the patient added elimination through perspi ration.

In the one a warm vapor, specially prepared, Is Introduced through the bottom of the cabinet, and in the other the heat is produced by small steam radiators on the sides of the cabinet. These cabinets are particularly effective for patients with drv skin. The process of treatment for colds, flu, and generally poor physical condition by means of these cabinets is as follows: The patient is subjected, first in the dry-heat cabinet, to intense beat for a period of time depending on the nature of the ailment. He is then given a hot shower, and while still warm from this treat ment is rubbed with a preparation known as salt-glow. To finish up, the patient is again given a hot shower and the temperature of the water gradually reduced to near normal to produce something of a nerve shock and bring the body temperature back to normal.

Write us a note and tell us how you are getting along." Dr. Hattie Plum Williams of the sociology department: "During the past sixteen years that I have been with the university, 5,000 names have been put into my files of for mer students. Tho I have never reached the plight of the old wom an who had so many children she didn't know what to do, all of you have conferred upon me much honor. Greetings!" Prof. A. A.

"If the critics who continually condemn the college youth of today would put forth half as much effort to obtain facts, they would find only a small percent of the students ever give any trouble," declared Dr, Dr. F. JJ. Henzlik, dean of the teach ers college, in upholding the beliefs and actions of the younger generation. "Less then l percent give ust even the slightest concern of a na ture that newspapers like to paint In sensational and highly colored phrases," he said. In Dr. Henzllk's opinion, 98 or 99 percent of present day students are more sincere, more serious, more courageous, and more self sufficient than ever before. They may at times be confused, he claims, due to the complexity of social and economic forces, but they are never insincere. "They may question the judg ments and opinions of adults," he said, "but If they do, It is because they have seen enough of the sham and pretense In civilization that they hesitate to take things for granted. What is there in the re cent adult decision In business, politics, social affairs, or interna tional relations tint should be taken without question or evalua tion?" Altbo the modern youth may make mistakes, Dr. Henzlik point ed out that he Is honest and sin cere In trying to secure a sense of direction and is more tolerant and openmlnded then tho college stu dent of old. To illustrate this fact, FEB. 20 IS BURNETT CONTEST DEADLINE Undergraduate Students May Submit 1,000 Word Essays. The deadline for manuscripts which are to be entered in the fourth annual essay contest spon sored by Chancellor E. A. Burnett is set for noon Saturday, Feb. 20.

Rules of the contest require that the article be around 1,000 words, end that it be delivered at the of fice of the chancellor by 12 noon, Feb. 20. There will be seven prizes awarded, totaling $100.00 in all. The first prize will be $40.00, the second will be $25.00, the third $15.00, and four prizes of $5.00 each. TO Dean Says Administration Wants to Cooperate With Wilson. U. S. DEPUTY IN LINCOLN University administrative offi cials are anxious to co-operate with authorities in the admonition of bootleggers, especially those supplying nquor to students, Dr. T. J. Thompson, dean of student affairs, sail Tuesday afternoon. Harold D. Wilson, deputy prohi bition administrator for Nebraska, as quoted in the Omaha Bee-News Tuesday, made the following state ment to the Omaha press: "The In vestigation of conditions at Ne braska university and the raid Saturday night were the result ot co-operation between enforcement officers and the university admin istration." His statement followed the ar rest of Alan Williams, former stu dent, and confiscation of a small quantity of liquor in a raid by fed eral prohibition officers and .Lin coln police on the coliseum after the all university party there Sat urday night Burnett Returns Today. A statement concerning the uni versity administration's relation to the Saturday night incident must come from Chancellor Burnett, Dean Thompson said. Chancellor Burnett had not returned to Lin coln Tuesday from western Ne braska where he made two Charter day addresses Monday. He will return today. Wilson, who was In Lincoln Tuesday afternoon conferring with United States District Attorney Robert Van Pelt, pointed out that conditions on the campus are "good rather than bad" and that the smallncss of the amount of liquor seized "makes apparent the fact that little drinking was being done." He characterized Satur day night's raid as a minor affair "conducted for the mental effect it would have on the college stu dents." Wilson Says Conditions Good. Wilson, while in Lincoln yester day, told newspapermen that he is planning an intensive drive for thfc cleanup of liquor conditions thru out the state. This drive, he said, will include Lincoln. Hi added that he will be back in Lincoln within a few weeks to commence operations here.

"While I was walking along the street with a young college stu dent, we incidentally mentioned the peace conference in Europe. In discussing the matter, he made in substance the following statements 'The attitude of aloofness shown by our country In the League of Na tions convinces me of our national selfishness. We appear as a nation to be afraid of having to help the world solve lis problems at times and under conditions inconvenient to our own material prosperity.' "Whether you agree or disagree with his views Is of little conse quence, but you cannot help but feel that be was a young man who realized that America bad a re sponsibility to fulfill. In fact, that it was necessary for America to take a bread outlook upou tha af fairs of the world if she was to ex ert a position of leadership. "The statements of that boy are quite significant of what is running in the minds of our young people, ' stated Dr. Henzlik. "I submit that few adults face the problem any more sauarely than did this youth." STUDENTS FAVOR ACT BOARD REPRE ENTA ON 864 Vote for Plan While 65 Are Opposed to Student Board Member. REGENTS NOW TO DECIDE Committee Survey Will Be Presented to Board at Next Meeting. A definite step toward getting student representation on the ath letic board was taken Tuesday when an overwhelming majority of the voters returned a verdict fa voring a student athletic board member. Eight hundred sixty-four voted for student representation, and 65 voiced themselves as opposed to the plan. The student council committee in charge of action toward getting student members for the board will ask Chancellor E. A. Burnett for a meeting of the board of re gents to decide the question as soon as the Chancellor returns, Art Wolf, chairman of the council com mittee, said Tuesday night. Results of the referendum will be presented at the regents meet ing, as will results of the commit tee's investigation survey. As a part of the compilation of informa tion, the committee sent question naires to fifty-three leading col leges and universities of the na tion in an attempt to learn how the situation was being nandled in other schools. "How soon a decision will be reached is uncertain," Wolf stated, "but there will be a decision, one way or the other." Heretofore, he explained, at tempts to get student members for the athletic board have been met with failure, because it has been charged there was no way of knowing whether students wanted representation, and because the student council did not present suf ficient information showing why there should be representation. "Now, however, we have that in formation," Wolf declared, "and the results of Tuesday's election indicate that the students do want their delegates to have a place on the body that decides questions which effect the whole student body." Members of the student council committee of which Wolf is chair man are: Gretchen Fee, Bob Kin kead, Lucile Hendricks, Howard Allaway and Walter Huber.
