FAMOUS ARTISTS SHOW PICTURES EXHIBITION DEAN SHERMAN. "Dean Lucius A. Sherman was a commanding figure in the University of Nebraska for forty-seven years. Essen tially a scholar and a literary critic, he was an inspiring teacher to those interested in literature and the humani ties," said Chancellor E. A. Burnett of the university Tuesday morning. "He was chairman of the department of English language and lit erature from the time he came to the university to his retirement in 19.10. He held in turn position of dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, the Graduate college, and sen ior dean of the university, but he loved best his work as a teacher of literature. A pro ductive scholar, he was a member of many scholastic honorary societies. "While inactive since 1930, when he was given an emeri tus status, he had still re tained an interest in univer sity affairs and had continued his Shakespeare studies. His death is a distinct loss to the university community where he labored for nearly a half century." STUDENTS TO SELECT Editor Gives Instructions for For Voting Beginning on Wednesday, Feb. 15. For the first time since the year book has been published Nebraska students are to select their own cover for the 1933 Cornhusker. R. W. Spencer yesterday announced plans for the cover contest which is to be open for one week, start ing today, Feb. 15, and closing next Wednesday, Feb. 22, at 5 p. m. Seven different covers, done in a variety of colors and leather grains will allow a wide choice. Ballots for voting appear in this issue of the Daily Nebraskan and will be printed each day during the con test. The covers are on display on a counter near the entrance to Long's bookstore, just across from the campus. Each cover is numbered. Here's how to vote. Clip the ballot from your copy of the Daily Nebraskan and after you have seen the covers check the number that corresponds to the cover that appeals to you and drop it in the ballot box at the book store. The editor urges that all students take advantage of this opportunity to select the cover for the new Cornhusker. "Since the book is published primarily for the stu dents we feel that by offering them this chance to choose the cover we are able to give them truly a student publication," he said. 01 YEARBOOK COVER NEBRASKA CHARTER DAY Charter day is a day for taking stock of our progress as a univer sity. The day grows more signifi cant as the years multiply after our graduation and our memories run back for ten, twenty, or even forty and fifty years. The first graduate of the university secured his degree in 1873, sixty years ago next June. This graduate is J. S. Dales, secretary of the board of regents. Not many of us can span so long a period, but we remember with reverence Prof. Laurence Fossler, for forty-four years a professor, and others who have influenced student life for nearly half a cen tury. Dean Sherman, whose death occurred this week, spent forty seven years in active service as a teacher of youth in the university. Professors Barbour and Fling bav hocn with us fortv-two years. Miss Clara Conklin forty-one years, Prof. A. L. Candy and jmiss lxmise Pound since 1893. Others of more recent date have profoundly mflu-pnr-pd the life of the student body in their day and their memory lives in the hearts of many aiumni ana former students.'

A semi -academic manner of pre senting a talk on "Inflation" by Prof. Karl M. Arndt of the eco nomics department, at the meeting of the Economics Round Table Tuesday Feb. 14 at 7 p. m. paved the way for the heated discussion which followed. The introductory talk had as its principal purpose the raising of certain questions dealing with inflationary measures their advantages and disadvan tages; the analysis of certain pro posed methods; and suggested sub stitutes for an inflationary policy. The talk presented two principal reasons for such a measure a more honest dollar for debt pay ment purposes, and the belief that inflation will raise farm prices into a more favorable relation to other prices. In attempting to show the unworthiness of such a policy, Arndt based his reasons on the answers to five questions "Why should we inflate?" "What should we inflate?" "How can we inflate?" "What consequences may we expect from inflation?" and "can't the alleged benefits of infla ( Continued on Page 4.) IXSTRUCTOR SHOWS F iSHlO MATERIALS Pouters Display Dresses Of Different Styles, Color and Ages. Miss Grace M. Morton of the home economics department is ex hibiting material from the Trap hagen school of fashion this week. Posters showing modern dress de sign in color and adaptations of beautiful costumes of the past are in the exhibit. Pen and ink illus trations of fashions for magazines and several interesting pen pic tures to use in illustrating articles are included. One particularly in teresting picture shows Ethel Barrymore as "Portia" in a gown designed for her by the Traphagen school. Another shows a group of the students in the "hard times" dresses and pajamas they designed and made themselves which cost as little as 50 cents and $1. Some of the examples are particularly fine for color and detail, and many of them are original costumes de signed by students in the school. The exhibit will continue until next week on the third floor of the Home Economics building. ent times seem like times of abun dance. Still out of that period came stalwart men and women, founders of a exeat state. In ear lier times poverty wss no barrier to securing an education, inose who sacrifice today in order to pre pare themselves better to meet the battles of life in later years win look back upon their college days with the same feeling of satisfac tion as do the graduates of our pio neer days. The past year has seen growth in many scholastic interests. It has seen a strengthening of stu dent organizations. Less than nor mal attention has been devoted to social activities, with more than normal interest in scholastic objec tives. Social stratification based upon ability to spend has tended to disappear, but scholarship and sterling character has tended to seek higher levels. We look back upon the year just passing with much of satisfaction. We look for ward to the coming years with abundant confidence. The univer sity which has furnished opportu nity leading to final success in the past has lost nothing of its crea tive power for tnose wno strive. Success comes only thru strenuous endeavor.

EDITOR WILL RELEASE FEBRUARYBLUE PRINT Edition to Be Dedicated To All Nebraska High School Students. The February issue of the Ne braska Blue Print, which will be released early next week, will be dedicated to the high school stu dents of Nebraska, according to an announcement made Tuesday by John H.

In addition Charles DeVore, junior in electricai engineering, presents the first of a series of articles concerning prominent Nebraska engineering alumnae, and Hugh Schmidt, civil engineering sophomore, contrib utes an article on tho Hoover Dam. The College of Engineering will send a copy of the February Blue Print to every accredited Nebraska high school, to better acquaint fu ture engineering students with not only the entrance requirements, but with the best preparatory "ourses.
