As New Girls Ushered
Into Duties.
Clad In white robes newly
elected members of A. W. S. board
f".hered before a table decorated
with white roses and candles to be
officially installed Monday night in
their various positions. For the
first time the installation service
was made public, housemothers
v J and house presidents being espe
cially invited to attend so they
would better understand toe pur
pose of the organization.
Bereniece Hoffman, retiring
president, presided, while Gr :hen
Fee, retiring vice president, pre
sented the candidates. Each new
board member signified in writing
her willingness to perform the du
ties that have been delegated to
her. As new officers were installed
they were vested by retiring offi
cers in dark robes signifying their
positions.
Miss Hoffman briefly explained
the purpose of the organization as
being "to reflect the interest ana
welfare of women students on this
campus in accordance with their
ideals or social and c:ir govern
ing purposes." She then introduced
Miss Amanda Heppner, dean of
women, who gave a short talk.
After giving a brief history cf
the origin of the w o m e n 's
self governing body. Miss Heppner
showed in what manner its work
might be judged. She cited the
recently released scholarship re
port as an example of what fine
ideals in a group will do.
Scholarship High.
She stressed the point that not
one of the groups of women stu
dents stood below a two plus
average.
'Scholarship," she said, "is an
indication of the standards that
exist among the groups. The in
teresting thing about this is that
all groups of women students have
a high scholastic standing." Ac
cording to Miss Heppner the As
sociation of Women Students rep-
resents not only the ideals but the
philosophy of the women students
on this campus.
Miss Heppner officially thanked
the retiring board members for
their excellent service and congra
tulated new members on their
election to "positions which en
tail a great deal of responsibility."

Horse Tank Tradition on Campus of
Aggies Revived During Fair Week to
Punish 1WW Students With Ducking
BY GEORGE ROUND
Customs may conic and go but traditions arc traditions
at the college of agriculture. At least t lie "horse tanking"
idea is still holding over each year for Fanners Fair. This
year it was in use more than ever before.
Students in the college who choose not to work before,
during or after the fair usually get thrown into the tank
before the fair is over. That hap-l
pened this year.
Starting Friday night with the
pre-fair dance "ducking" in the
good old horse tank started off
with a bang. Five students who
appeared in the wrong attire at
the right moment drew the horse
tank as a premium.
With but one exception refugees
were given the choice of taking off
their clothes or leaving them on.
All, however, desired to remove
their Sunday go visiting clothes
before being chucked into the old
horse tank. Girls, too, stuck
around to see the fun. When the
victim hit the tank of water, every
one scattered to far ends of the
campus while the ducked one at
tempted to extricate himself and
dry off during the cool hours of
the night.
But "tankinjs" Friday night
were only a starter to those which
occurred later in the week. Satur
day was Fair day and all students
In the college were required to
work and check in at seven in the
morning. When Sunday morning
came for the annual clean-up a
check on attendance records was
made. Those who failed to report

Carrie Raymond Hall, New Women's
Residence Budding, Given Complete
Endorsement by Sorority Presidents
As Carrie H. Raymond hall, new women's residence build
ing being erect rd on North 16lh St., every day progresses more
and more toward completion, opinions among coeds on the tini
versily campus whom the building will most a fleet arc. being
formulated, and it is in accord with these that the representa
tive of the Daily Ncbraskan is
with women.
The idea of the building, as discovered from a survey of
the opinions of sorority presidents, secures the complete en
dorsement of the executive heads interviewed. A digest of each
individual opinion expressed to theO-
reportcr follows: The new hall, de
signed to accommodate 170 girls,
will be ready for occupancy next
September. Plans are under con
sideration for social organization
of the residents within the hall.
Though intended primarily for
use by non-sorority students, much
interest has been shown in the de
velopment of the plans by affili
ated women leaders on the
campus.
MrJorie Petersen, former pres
ident of the University Y. W. C. A,
and president of Pi Beta Phi,
stated, "I think the residence hall
plan is a good thing; at least it is
a good start toward a good thing,
although I am convinced that the
one hall will not be large enough
to care for all the girls who will
want to live there. More units are
needed. The plan, however, solves
the present problem very nicely by
providing decent conditions, espe
cially of a social character. The
girls will have opportunity to en
ter social life, to make more
friendships, and more girls may
become interested in activities
The plan is far superior to the
present system of isolation in va
rious rooming houses.
Only one of the twelve presi
dents interviewed voiced any fears
of competition. All of them, how
received their "tankings."
Naturally all of the students
who failed to report for work Sat
urday did not appear on the scene
Sunday. Aggie students hunted
the city for refugees. Fraternity
houses were visited, rooming
houses were scoured and cafes ob
served before the victims were
found. One of the boys was quite
innocently smoking a pipe while
lounging around on the porch of
his fraternity house. But this
didn't prevent him from taking a
trip to the Ag campus where he
was dumped into the horse tank.
Girls cr no girls all may be
tubbed on the Ag campus. At
least one received a bath Sunday
when she attempted to push a boy
friend into the cold water. Some
one approached from the back and
shoved both into tbe tank.
But the Aggies are not worry
ing about the tubbings. They now
wonder who got their horse tank
Friday night. One fraternity on
the down town campus is sus
pected and negotiations are being
made for return of the tank. Tho
the fair i3 over, farm boys are still
looking for their tank.
FIELD SECRETARY IS
W.A.A VISITOR HERE
MissHodgkinstoBe Honored
at Tea in Ellen Smith
Hall Thursday.
MASS MEETING IS MAY 12
Honoring Miss Anne Hodgkins,
field secretary of the women's
division. National Amateur Ath
letic association, the Women's
Athletic association will entertain
all women students and any facul
ty women interested at a tea in
Ellen Smith hall Thursday, May
12 from 3 to 5.
Miss Hodgkins. who has been for
eight years the director of recrea
tion for 8,000 women employes of
the T. Eaton company of Toronto,
Canada, has come to Nebraska to
describe the work of the federa
tion in establishing standards for
girls' athletics. The organization
was established in 1923 in Wash
ington, D. C, by Mrs. Herbert
Hoover and some 200 prominent
educators who felt the need of an
organization which would prevent
women's athletics from becoming
commercialized and professional
ized. While in Lincoln this week, Miss
Hodgkins will also address the
State League of High School G.
A. A.'s, on the ideals and work of
the federation.
Thursday evening, she will speak
at a mass meeting of all university
women participating in intramural
srjorts. to be held in the armory.
All intramural awards will be
presented to groups winning places
in various sports, and the new of
ficers and executive council of W.
A. A. will be introduced.
Arrangements for the tea Thurs
day afternoon are in charge of a
committee composed of Margaret
Day, Dorothy Charleson, program;
Irma Randall, decorations; Helen
RalHwln table arrangements: and
Margaret Reedy, invitations.
The following memDers oi me
intramural representative board
(Continued on Page 3.)
conducting a series of interviews
ever, declared that the new build
ing satisfies a long standing need
and will remedy the very bad
housing situation for women
students.
LaVerle Herman, president of
W. A. A., and of Gamma Phi Beta,
is strongly in favor of tbe hall,
its purposes and ideals. Sbe says,
"The hall is a good thing for the
campus. At present girls have no
center for activity or for social or
ganization. Sororities may find
rushing a little more difficult than
usual for about two years, but as
soon as they become adjusted to
the new condition, the trouble will
disappear."
Otner expressions of opinion
follow:
Henrietta Tlarks, president of
Chi Omega: "I consider the hall a
wonderful thing for girls not liv
ing in sorority houses. It will af
ford a place where they may be
come belter organized than pos
sible under the old rooming bouse
system. The effect on sororities
will be very slight."
Clara Day, Alpha XI Delta pres
ident; "For the non-sorority girls
the residence ball is a fine thing,
as heretofore their accommoda
tions have not been suitable, being
neither convenient tor study nor

Owner Picnic Plot
Has Novel Method
For Removing Coin
Another way of making money
during the depression comes to
light. Real estate is notoriously
lacking In value those days, but if
you have a -pot of ground suitable
for picnics, you might be able to
use the method which one enter
prising farmer in the vlncinity of
Lincoln uses to make a little cash.
A beautiful little dell, with a lit
tle creek running thru has at
tracted a number of university
youths and their girls during the
recent balmy spring days to do a
little communing with nature. No
signs appear on the land to in
dicate that it is inviolable, and the
spot has been somewhat widely
advertised among students as a
desirable place to go.
The gentleman who owns the
spot, however, also owns a badjrc
indicating his authority as a
deputy sheriff, or something of the
kind. At any rate it is a shiny
badge which apparantly has been
a sufficient means of inspiring
fear in the hearts of the picnikers
who are told that they are tress
passers. By means of this badge
of authority, it is rumored that
several students have been forced
to pay fines to the owner of the
land, when he rudely interrupts
the picnics to demand tribute.
The legality of this method of
making money is somewhat in
doubt. It is rumored that some of
those from whom money has been
extorted after thinking the mat
ter over believe they have been
"gypped." Perhaps some of tho
law students should be taken along
on all picnics.

Faculty Members Air Opinions of
Student Employment in Response
To Statement of Harvard Paper
BY EDGAR APKING.
Jn response to opinions voiced in an editorial in the llai
vavrd Crimson. University of Nebraska faculty members ex
pressed diversified views ilonday in regard to 1he question of
student employment and its effect on the university.
The Crimson editorial advocated that students depending
on outside earnings to pay part or all expense thruout the
school year be barred from school.
Tbe editorial baa aroused various
comments from universities
throughout the United States, the
opinion of most being that a little
outside work does a student some
good and that students should not
be barred because of financial
position.
Some Nebraska teachers advo
cated a raising of university stan
dards so all students would have
to work. Some stated that many
of the best students have worked
their way through school, and that
action of this sort would keep out
a great many worthy students.
None, however, thought students
should be barred because of finan
cial position.
T. J. Thompson, dean of student
affairs, expressed the opinion that
barring students from the univer
sity because they have outside em
ployment would not conform with
western democratic ideas.
"Every student, whatever his
circumstances, should be made to
trive for what be gets." he be
lieves, "and tbe university stan
dards should be high enough to
make all students work."
According to Mr. Thompson, too
many students overwork. A boy or
girl who has to have outside em
ployment to go through school
must make & proportional reduc
tion in the amount of university
hours. A student who is employed
outside should never attempt to

APPEAR THIS WEEK
Ivy DaV Is Theme for Last
Number of Year; Gore
Section Appears.
MORE COEDS PICTURED
The May number of the Aw
gwan will make its appearance
about the middle or latter part of
this week according to an an
nouncement issued Monday by
Editor Marvin Robinson. The May
issue carries as its theme Ivy Day
and material in this number is
built around this central theme.
"The staff has endeavored to make
this month's Awgwan one of the
most unusual and interesting num
bers issued this year," said Robin
son. The cover this month is drawn
by Marvin Robinson and pictures
two men who are about to be
tapped Innocents. The cover is
done in colors and fits in well with
the theme of the number.
Among the leading features of
this month is a short play titled,
"Jumbled Bells," which is predict
ed to be a farce for some and a
tragedy for others. The play deals
with the atmosphere surrounding
a Kosraet .Klub play rehearsal.
"Lovers Handbook," is another
leading feature and contains some
very instructive material and
quite timely with this season. J. T.
Coffee writes an allegorical story
with college life and education as
its basis. The story is entitled,
"Sigreld's Castle."
Feature Gore Section.
The Gore section is again fea
tured and contains a much larger
amount of revelations this month.
The series of Vignettes are con
tinued ' and this month another
prominent faculty member is dis
cussed. The page called "In Our
Album" features the more promi
nent girls on the campus and is a
continuance of the feature which
has been so popular in the past
two months
"We are including in the Ivy
Day number a large amount of ex
change material gleaned from th!
leading college comic publications
and this along with tbe original
features and material should make
the issue one of the outstanding
numbers published this year,''
Robinson stated.
The contributors this month in

Nyberg, and Jean Marshall.
carry a full course, tie said.
"We find that one of the chief
difficulties here, and we are striv
ing to make students see that
point. Students ought to be willing
to submit to advice from an expert
concerning outside employment
and school work."
"Quality is of first importance
here at tbe university," he stated,
"and quantity is of lesser impor
tance. I would advise a man. un
less be is exceptionally brilliant,
to take bis university degree in
five or six years Instead of four.
Four years, with limited time for
study, does not allow any student
to receive full benefit from his ed
ucation." Chaucellor E. A. Burnett, when
asked bis opinion on this subject,
said he thought that a little work
is good for any student, "Many of
tbe best students we have work
outside school hours," he said. Mr.
Burnett does not believe university
standards are lowered by outside
employment. Grades are some
times lower among students em
ployed outside of school.
"A student employed outside of
school should not take as heavy a
course as the student in good fi
nancial condition." believes Dean
J. E. LeRosalgnol, of tbe college of
business administration. "It u. of
course, better to go to school with
out financial difficulties, but I do

POLITICAL IIOIUZONS
be able to muster can only be
guessed at, but the results of the
elections a year ago reveal the fact
that only an additional 300 votes
would put the barbs in and upset
both the Blue Shirts monopoly and
Ycllowjackel plans.
Neither of the two major parties
has advanced a platform or plan
of action as was done a year ago.
The Yellowjacket faction, altho
presenting no candidates at the
class elections last fall, has en
tered nine students in the field.
The Blue Shirts are backing twelve
men, while oarbs are supporting
only two candidates. Twenty-one
students, both men and women,
have filed as independents.
Twenty-six positions are to be
filled at the elections. One repre
sentative from each of the sopho
more, junior and senior classes
will be elected to serve on the pub
lications board for the coming
year, and the remaining twenty
three will be chosen members of
the student council.
Council Supervises.
The election will be supervised
by present members of the student
council. Irving Walker, chairman
of the student council committee
on elections, will be in complete
charge of the proceedings. Votes
will be counted by members of the
council after the election has
closed.
Several restrictions upon voters
and candidates have been decided
on by the council. No student may
vote unless he presents his own
registration card, and no votes
may be solicited in the building
where voting is in progress. In ad
dition no money may be spent in
behalf of any candidate nor may
any printed or published . matter
partial in nature be distributed.
Representation on the student
council, provided largely according
to colleges, is based roughtly in
proportion to enrollment in each
college. Representation of men and
women is also based on a roughly
proportional scale in consideration
of relative enrollment of the two
sexes in each college.
Vacant Posts.
Several vacancies in positions,
due to tbe fact that no one filed ur
that those who filed were scholas
tically ineligible, will be filled by
deciding upon the student whose
name has been written on the bal
lot the greatest number of times.
No man has filed for the posi
tion as representative from teach
ers college, while a similar situa
tion exists with regard to the rep
resentative from the dental col
lege. Only one woman has filed to
represent the school of fine arts,
while t-o are to be elected.
Another candidate from the col
lege of agriculture must be elect
ed, while no applications have been
received for the position of wom

MORRIS II. CORUOS
WlS $10 AWARD
Student Wins Second Prize
With Paper on Weed
Of Art Student.1
Morris H. Gordon, a junior in
the I7nlveritv of Nebraska, is
winner of tbe $40 second prize in
a national coutest neia Dy me Arm
Werkly.
The nsner which he submitted
lo the judges of the contest dealt
with "The Needs or Ujc Aris mu
dent." Mr. Cordon antxjacbed the sub
ject from four standpoints: first.
that as soon as tne rnua snowea
innate ability the parents should
take sn intni-t in him; second,
liberal rc on in some univer
sity shorn. . given: third, an ap
propriate ail school should be
selected; and fourth, the ways
that the individual art student
should adapt himself to tbe art
field.
As ways to meet the needs
were necessary Morris suggested:
first that the parents should taka
interest in furnishing to tbe child
beautiful subjects which he could
draw and paint, and that the sur
rounding objects of his early Ufa
should suggest to him ideas to
draw.
Second, the liberal education
college or university would
have to be found for the in
dividual student, third, the selec
tive art school should be laid in a
five-vear plan. Mr. Gordon sug
gests a severe four year schedula
with the fifth year for liberal
idea development. Tbla school
should serve as a trade school
where architecture, painting, cera
mics, etc, should be studied to
gether. Tbe fourth suggestion included a
system of endowments which
should be given to certain re
cognized and outstanding art
schools.
First place in the contest was
won in Wisconsin, third In Long
Island, and the fourth and fifth
trir.es won by other contestants in
the United States..
