Upon the recommendation of The Daily Ne braskan, the Student Council, Wednesday, ap pointed a committee to investigate whether or not flass offices should or should not be abol ished. That question of presidential duties slowly -was taking its place along side the other campus gripes of a perennial nature. It is time that something be done about it. Committees have a way of getting lost. One committee, a group of faction leaders selected to discuss duties for the presidents, is lost at the present time. The Student council com mittee selected to investigate the offices has been requestd to report its findings at the next meeting. It is hoped that it will not be lost, too. EFL. this morning has an original and start ling solution to the problem. He advances an entirely unique proposal but his logic is good. The fact remains that something ought to be done. It is entirely true that the University of Nebraska will doubtless exist no matter what happens to the class sinecures. It is true, too-, that a hundred years from now no one will know the difference. The difficulty is that we are living now. Something should have been found for class presidents to do. They were slowly but surely reaching the same stage of existence as the minor class officers reached two years ago when they were abolished. Unless something is done class presidencies will go the same way. That, if it occurs, will be regrettable, but much more satisfactory than the present situation. There can be no denial of the fact that class presidencies are nothing more or less than political plums. Fac tions award them to houses whose turn it is, or to men who need activities. The sole honor that accrues to the position is a picture in the Comhusker. The Yellow Jacket faction once declared that they would urge the Student Council to abolish these offices if they were not given some duties. Neither has ever materialized. Then, after some agitation, the faction leaders promised to get together to provide them with some duties if possible. That, too, failed to materialize. The Daily Nebrasakn realizes that political leaders have only too little time. It realizes th.it committees need time in which to func tion. Much water has flown under th-bridge since first the talk against class presidencies began. And still nothing has been done. Now another aspect appears. The new com mittee will investigate the situation and will report its findings to the Council. The other committee may disband for the problem has passed from their hands. The dying offices may soon go to join the dead. Green Pastures Once upon a time their was little boy who saw a particularly fanciful and beautiful sun set. The gorgeous and magnificent colors im pressed him tremendously. He was seized with a conviction that there was something be hind it all. "(ice," he said. Once upon a time there was another young fellow who saw a play called "Green Pas tures." lie sat through Ihe seventeen scenes, heard the beautiful Negro spirituals, saw the tremendously moving drama unfold, and wlrtn it was over, "Gee." he said. There are no words to express the simple ef fect of -Marc Connelly's interpretation of the Negro faith. It is an attempt to get at the Negro religious psychology in terms of their own lives. The play deals with the story of the Iliblc from the time of Adam down to the time of Christ. Its simple construction, its perfect contin unity, and its 'everyday philosophy make it a play which will endure. Marc Connelly has done an excellent bit of work in this play and people who have a chance to see it should not fail to do so. ( Jimmy Lewis. The recent slash made in the athletic depart ment makes necessary the dropping of four members of the staff. Among them is Jimmy LcLwis, known by almost all athletes tbruout tlie state and by most everyone in the Univer sity of Nebraska. It is safe to surmise that Jimmy Lewis will be missed in more ways than one in the athletic offices. Officially, he was assistant track coach and editor of the "Tales of the Cornhusker," official football program. Aside from his official duties, he was more o rless of a Jack of all trades about the athletic department. The work so effi ciently done by Mr. Lewis will now fall on someone elo's shoulders and that will not be easy. Jimmy graduated from the University of Ne braska in VJ'lb and has since been on the staff of the athletic department. The story goes that Coach Schultc saw him running across the campus one clay and asked him to come out for track. Scbulte once said that he was the most promising track coach that had ever be gun his career under his teaching. His work in the athletic department has always been ef ficiently done. The school that- obtains the services of Jimmy Lewis will be fortunate. They will have an efficient and hard working young man. The school that gets him is to be congratulated. Nebraska will miss him. HAYSEED -- and ' ' HAYWIRE O By CEORCE ROUND Dr. C. W.

The first active step toward the organization of the Barbs looking toward an improvement in the political situation on the campus will occur tonight when members of the realign ment committee and other appointed by the committee chairman will talk to students in rooming houses in an effort to interest them in the project. It is entirely in the hands of the Barb students if the plan is to work. The plan, as advanced by the committee, should be familiar to all. It involves organiz ing a small group of Barb students around which to build a larger organization. This or ganization Mill affiliate, probably with the Yellow Jacket faction. This, the committee be lieves, will relieve the present situation on the campus. From that point one can surmise, although it is pure conjecture, that the Barbs will grow in power to the extent where they will be able to withdraw from the fraternity faction and give battle to the entire group of fraternities. Their is no doubt in the minds of the com mittee but what the plan will work if the Barb students will cooperate. It is only to the twenty-one rooming houses containing five or more men to whom the committee is appealing. Others, in smaller groups, arc, of course, wanted to carry out the project. They Mill be approached later, after the committee has had time to ascertain if the larger groups will be willing to co-operate and form the nucleus of the organization. If the political situation is ever to be cleared up on the campus and if Barbs ever hope to make their passive strength felt, now is 1he time for action. Their opportunity is at hand. They have only to open the door and seize it. Dispensers) is the problem of fiinhng some thing for our class presidents to do.

Perhaps we should bring forth some of that Campus spirit no, I don't want to see what is in your hip pocket and solve the problem ourselves. The first thing to do is to install traffic lights at the intersections between Social Sci ences and Teachers college, ;md also at the southwest coiner of Andrews hall. Now here, dear leaders is the big secret. We will dress th class presidents in dainty pink and white uniforms and set them to watching the lights to sec lhat some of those horrid fraternity boys do not steal them to regulate the bath room traffic. EFL. College Editors Say Dirty Crack. Most college students would J'l.iC up in "righteous indignation" if they Mere collec tively labelled as cultured fourflushers. But lhat is exactly Mhat a large number (not all) of Ihem are. Nine-tenths of collegians is perfectly willing to bask in the sunlite haze of blind admiration shed on it by the less educated mass of human ity. Only a college student himself knows ex actly how ignorant he actually is, and very few pause to consider their pitiful plight. Why should they, when it is so easy to fool the world at large? And yet, their conscience must trouble tliem at limes. The average college student has only a thiu veneer of education. Usually he in educated jusl enough to make people think be is cul tured. He knows little about the English language and rules of grammar, he spells poorly, writes not much better than a high school pupil, and cannot carry on an original thoughtful conversation. He is unable to shape his thoughts into any organized sequence. He deals largely in generalizations and plati tudes to cover up his assininity, and boredom is his screen against exposure. lie has no burn ing desire for intellectual enlightenment. His main interest is in fitting himself to achieve economic independence and general acceptance among the "upper strata." As long as he "gets by" he is satisfied. He senses no clear duty to society, but rather believes that so ciety owes something to him. Most of the time he is not conscious of himself at all he exists but does not live. And if he occasionally real izes) bow ignorant he is. he usually is too lazy to do anything about it. Thus it is that we flatter hiiu by ticketing him as a cultured four fluser. Now go ahead and shoot. Tulane llul-laballoo. They say that Hugh Rhea main- ) tains that Lei and Copple has a I glass jaw. Maybe so, but Rhea has a pretty big middle that would make a nice target. . . .

Evidently the uptown physical education men are afraid of the farm teachers. Growing of Trees, Shrubs, Flowers Is Work of Substation at North Platte A farmer's experimental labor atory securing for him the infor mation he is anxious to have re garding the many problems that arise day by day that is the ex perimental substation of the Uni versity of Nebraska at North Platte. Dean Burr of the College of Agriculture inspected the sub station Saturday. Constantly working on problems closest to the life of the Nebraska farmer of this section, the substa tion works on the plan that the ultimate end of its work is the de velopment of a farm home where happiness and contentment abide. To create these conditions, accord ing to Supt. W. P. Snyder, a cer tain degree of permanent pros perity must be obtained from crops and stock and with that must be developed a farm home that attracts and holds the inter est of worthy men and women. As the substation is located in a region of rather scant rainfall M'ith an average of about eighteen and one-half inches of annual pre cipitation and a variation of from slightly above ten inches as in 1931 to thirty-five inches in 1915, the conservation, storage and use of soil moisture naturally has been given primary consideration. The 1 movement of water In the soil and its use by plants and its loss thru unrenumerative sources has been closely studied. Plays Important Part. Probably no part of the work at this station plays a more im portant part in developing perm anent agriculture thruout this re gion than that having to dowlth the growing of trees, shrubs, and flowers. Every promising kind of tree, shrub ana flower tnat can be obtained is being given a thoro trial and an accurate record kept of Its behavior. Enough hardy kinds have been tested to prove that a farm home may be devel oped in the western part of Ne braska that will be just as attrac tive as any that may be developed in- the counties or states to the east. Other projects studied on the 1,920 acre farm include studies of corn and small grains, breeding and feeding of livestock, creep feeding, dairying, and poultry. There are thirty-three buildings at the North Platte substation, which including equipment and other improvements, has a total inventory value of 1193,318.49, making it the largest substation plant of the university. Wrestling and Debating Occupies Time of Donald Shirley, Law Student BY HARRY FOSTER. Wrestler and debater doesn't sound exactly like ham and eggs. Incongruous at first thought but when you consider that wrestling has developed into a rougn ana tumble and that heated arguments often lead to "I'll see you outside's" the connection becomes less para doxical. Donald Shirley is both. He is a two letter man on the husker grappling team and is debating for Dr. H. A. White on tne varsity ae- bate squad. "Both wrestling and tieoaung are' arguments, one is mental and the other one is physical. The good thing about debating is that they never get rough with you. It hurts to get a mental rebuke" but you can get over it a lot quicker than you can a physical rebuke," said the grappling debater. Shirley, wno is a junior m tne Arts and Science college and in tends to grapple with the legal pro fession, stated that he enjoyed wrestling the most but that he thought that he derived more per sonal benefit from his forensic activities. The straneleristic Desmosthenes won five out of his seven bouts in the 155 pound class this year. . In spite of the fact that he is engaged in these two notable outside ac tivities he has an enviable scholas tic record and is at the present time holder of a tuition scholar ship. The debates this year have been non decision affairs so that no check in a comparison of the record of the amidextrous collegian can be made. In high school, in Mlnburn, Iowa, Shirley was a member of the high school debate team but M as not on the wrestling team because they didn't have any. Which is, all in an, a pretty good reason. "I never wrestled before I came to Nebraska, although I did have debate experience in high school, Shirley said as the interviewer looked at two pictures above the desk, one of Captain Lehman and the other of a well known wrestler, According to Shirley a good physique and good bodily health are valuable in debating, although thev are not essentials. "I intend to go ahead M-ith both activities next year because I think that I am receiving valuable train ing. It interferes with my school work to some extent but I think that the other values more than make3 up for it," the dellmma thrower stated. OPEN CAMPAIGN TO ORGANIZE ALL BARB STUDENTS (Continued from Page 1.) in U hall 106 to receive Instruc tions and to decide on a uniform program of presentation. The speaking organization tour Thursday night is the outgrowth of the work of a faction realign ment committee whose first report advanced the theory of barb club organization to remedy the ad mitted inequality at present exist ing in the campus political situa tion. It was submitted by the committee that barb organization, by meeting this problem, would also lead to increased interest in lagging activities by stimulating keener competition in extra-curricular field. It was also pointed out by the realignment committee that weld ing the non-fraternity section of the student body more closely to gether would enable them to enjoy increased advantages in the fields of isocial and intramural sports ac tivity. The faction realignment commit tee U composed of the three fac tion heads, two faculty members, two representatives of the student council, and three memb?ri of the Innocents society, under whose stimulation the program of re alignment was first brought for ward . Purpose Explained. In a statement made Wednes day Edwin Faulkner, president of the student council and ex-officio member of the committee in charge of adjuntment, explained the purpose of the scheduled house to house tour of speakers, and out lined past developments in the re organization program. "We would also urge," he said, "that any barb students not living in the bouses to be visited be in vited to attend the meetings by the residents of the houses with five or more students. The larger the groups responding immediately to this program, the better are its chances for success." Speakers appointed to make the presentation tour and their assign ments are: Make Assignments.

The question of M'hen a snore is biggest Is dividing the University of Chicago sleep scientists Into two schools. "Introvertists" claim that the best snorts, whistles, puffs, grunts and gurgles are achieved when the sleeper inhales. "Extro vertlsts" hold that exhaling pro duces the most noises. The College World BY LAURENCE HALL Ninety percent of the men ques tioned at tho University of Georgia said they would marry a woman sixty years old if she had a million dollars. About the same number of coeds declared they would "marry for. money and love ba hanged." Russiun college students ars paid by the government, and If a student has dependents, the gov ernment also supports them. Ono side, Mr. Gundreson, we just left. A room in the city jail is tho study hall for a student at Ohio State. He failed to stop for a red light, but tho judge was lenient and made arrangements for him to study while serving sentence. A course in Icelandic both tho modern language and the old Norse has been added to the cur riculum of the University of Idaho. At the University of Berlin stu dents are allowed six weeks to analyze the various professors of fering each course. "If tho Canadian liquor system were introduced into this country under present legal and judicial systems, hell would be popping," said Benjamin Spence, Canadian journalist in a recent talk at Amherst. Freshmen at Harvard who take German and French have the privi lege of lunching at tables where the menu is printed and conversa tion carried on in these tongues. English may not be spoken. A coed at Iowa State earns her way thru school by driving a bus. while a sophomore man at tno same school struggles along by selling cakes which he bakes him self. His angel food has won a contest prize. Sixty-five thousand dollars is the value put on a college educa tion by William Atherton DuPuy, prominent statistician. The aver age high school graduate earns $110,000 during his lifetime, while the average university graduate may expect to earn at least $175,- 000. University of Minnesota chem ists use five miles of rubber tub ing, six tons of 50,000 bottles and a half million matches a year . Two Mizzou coeds settled the accumulated arguments of a year by throwing pies at each other. They were big thick butterscotch pies covered with meringue. Elimination of politics from stu dent publications is the noble work being carried on at Washington university by the Student Commit tee on Publications.
