Chief Hansen's first suggestion is in regard to cleanness around the organization houses and uni versity buildings. "Attics and storerooms," he said "should be cleaned regularly, and basements should be kept clean at all times. Sometimes papers and rubbish col lect in these places and they should be kept cleaned out. t "Around fraternity houses we find there are too many 'electri cians; and drop cords and electric appliances are hung in an im proper manner. When any wiring is to be done, call a competent electrician. "Proper escapes should be pro vided for all fraternity and soror ity houses, especially for dormi tories which are located on the third floors, in case of fire. "Fire drills are very valuable as an aid in emptying a building especially in the older buildings which are not fire proof. If any student sees anything which ha be lieves is a fire hazard he should report it to Mr. Seaton, operating superintendent. "Cigarets are another cause of fires which should be warned against. Students should not throw cians. and drop cords and electric where they will fall in trash or dead grass." The Lincoln firemen have made very few runs to university build ings in the past.

Pasadena, Calif. CNS). Three major evils are threatening repre sentative government in the United States, Dr. Robert A. Milli kan, noted scientist and head of the California Institute of Technol ogy, told students of the college last week. In his first address of the year before the student body, he enum erated the evils as follows: 1. Lawlessness "T h e r e are more holdups in Los Angeles in a month than occur in Paris in a year." 2. Selfish minorities seeking to enrich themselves at the expense of the taxpayers. 3. The "demagoguery of the metropolitan press." "My own generation." he de clared, "was convinced that demo cratic government was a foregone success, but now these tendencies I have named cast considerable doubt as to whether our govern ment can succeed." He did not refer directly to the American Legion, but asserted, in referring to "selfish minorities," that one of these "at Portland re cently aimed a dagger at the heart of American life." He urged the students to help in bringing about readjustments, which will adapt the government to changed conditions. PUNS ESTES CONFERENCE Regional Council Discusses 1933 Gathering; of Y.W.C.A.

W. Merewith, Farm House, instigator of the movement to return baseball announced Tuesday night. Elton Ross and other students on both campuses are scheduled to help Meredith finish up the cam paign for the return of the na tional pastime into the varsity program. Most fraternity houses on the campus now have the peti tions and are being asked to get as many signers as possible within the next few days. "Despite the fact that present economic conditions both in school and out are not the best in the world, we are going forward with the campaign." Meredith declares. "If we can absolutely prove to the athletic board that baseball is needed in the athletic program, I believe we will produce some re sults. Other sports now on the pro gram are no more self supporting than baseball would be. "There seems to be 6ome dis couragement to the plan because there is no playing field near the campus but, even tho it is not within a few blocks walk, it should be possible to fix up the college of agriculture diamond for play temporarily. Temporary bleachers could be erected and the diamond put in good shape with little capital outlay." FLEISHER URGES CULTURE Philanthropist Asks That Aesthetics Rank With Athletics.

TO CLARIFY HIS E Dr. Steinmetz, Psychologist, Explains His Statement To Non-Daters. SAN DIEGO, Calif. (CNS). Caught between a cross-fire of praise and criticism, Prof. Harry C. Steinmetz of the San Diego State college psychology depart ment this week sought to clarify his recent challenge to non-daters. In an editorial appearing in The State College Aztec, he had urged timid souls to "make yourself at tractive to the opposite sex, do a little flirting and get a date." This was to be accomplished by dis playing the paper in such h man ner that the editorial would show, the gesture to be interpreted as "a welcome to become acquainted." Although no very positive re sults were noted following the publication of the editorial, many complimented it as a move in the right direction, while others con demned it as "blatant" and "mis directed." Meanwhile, one student sug gested, through The Aztec, that the psychology department offer confidential advice to those seek ing counsel in such matters, in cluding the compilation of "a list of inexpensive entertainments other than free lectures" and "aid in problems pertaining to lack of clothing, transportation and other material difficulties.
