BIZAD DEAN SPEAKS
AT OPTIMISTS' CLUB
LeRossignol Uses Economic
Question as Topic
Of Address.
J. E. LeRossignol, dean of the
college of business administration,
spoke Thursday noon at a luncheon
of the Optimists' club at the Corn
husker. His subject "Economic
Bunrum" included many of the
theories and proposals dealing with
economic questions which he con
siders unsound.
"Technocracy," he said, "is a
piece of bunrum, since its prin
ciples are unsound economically."
Also the idea that the introduction
of labor saving machinery in
creases unemployment is incoiect.
"True, it causes temporary unem
ployment, but in the long run it
greatly increases employment" he
pointed out. Labor saving machin
ery has not been the chief cause of
any of the crises this country has
gone thru," he added.
The proposal that prosperity will
return with beer he termed as more
bunrum. The more that is spent on
beer, the less will be spent on boots
and shoes, he stated.
"High wages will not promote
prosperity. They are the result of
prosperity, not the cause. The "Buy
American" campaign is another
unsound theory, for, to buy Amer
ican we must sell American and
unless we consume foreign prod
ucts we cannot continue foreign
trade." -

Miss Perkins' Selection To Cabinet
Is Significant, Asserts Dr. Williams
"The selection of Miss Frances
Perkins as secretary of labor in
the new cabinet of President-elect
Franklin D. Roosevelt is an espe
cially significant achievement' for
women engaged in social welfare
work," was the opinion of Dr. Hat
tie Williams, professor of sociol
ogy in the University.
Such was the comment of Dr.
Williams upon hearing that President-elect
Roosevelt had broken
all precedents by selecting Miss
Frances Perkins, New York com
missioner of labor, as his secretary
of labor. Miss Perkins is the first
woman ever to be offered a post in
the president's cabinet.
"I feel that the selection is es
pecially desirable, not becau.-e she
is a woman," she continued, "but
because she is in . "cry way quali
fied to fill the position in a compe
tent manner."
Since Miss Perkins has hid a
broad academic background, as
well as actual contact wun social

Except for the fact that the
Kansas Aggies will be missing
Emmett Breen, their captain, both
teams will have full strength, and
it is expected that a numbei ot
fast times will be chalk-d up.
Kansas State defeated Missouri
by a score of 641-.. to in the
only meet participated in thus far.
However, according to the Aggie
coach, Ward Haylett. this was not
so much an indication of great
strength on the part, of the Wild
cats as inexperience among the
Tigers. Coach Haylett stated: --If
at all possible we will try to make
a better showing against th-
Huskers than Minnesota did."
