Bibles Necessary Reference Books States Miss Clara Craig, Librarian; Places Large Collection on Display "Js there a Bible here in the library'" someone asks quite often at the University. "Js there a Bible?" echoes Miss Clara Craig, reference librarian, in surprise. "Not only one, but many. We couldn't Ret along at all without them. Professors and students every aay can ror translations. Some-O times they want to show the powei of the Bible's philosophy and ethics ;or again a class in litera ture is studying it." To prove her point, Miss Craig last week placed on exhibit in the entrance to the main library sev eral Bible's from the University's collection. On one shelf is an ad dition of the "Vulgate," published in some past century, now ' with worn cover and yellowed leaves. Below it is a "Geneva" version ed ited in 1609, and near it is the Douay Bible. Back in 1657, Brian AG SHORT COURSE 10 CLOSE MM. 11; 75 ARE E Class Intended" for;Those Unable to Attend Full Year.

CORNlfllES ARE SATISFACTORY, Thiel States Possible to Get Yearbook Before Mar. 15. Sales during the final sales drive for the 1934 Cornhusker were re ported quite satisfactory by Bob Thiel, business manager of the year book, Saturday. Thiel de clared that the sales were up to the average, and although no of ficial check-UD has been made as yet,, the -figure would well exceed one hundred. The figures for tne total number of books sold during the entire year are not as yet available. Thiel called attention to the fact that while the final sales drive is over it is still possible to order a Cornhusker up to March 15, by calling at the Cornhusker office in the basement of University Hall. All salesmen have ceased to can vass organized houses on the cam pus, and Thursday March 15, is the absolute deadline for orders to be placed.

Wisconsin Occupational Study Reveals Worker Must Be More Versatile, Able Get Along With Others to Be in Demand From the University of Wiscon sin press bulletin comes interesting information in regard to a series of nationwide occupational trend and demand studies just completed by the university's bureau of vo cational guidance. Carried on dur ing the past year by Prof. A. H. Edgerton, director of vocational th a nccunational studies are expected to be of great assist ance to state university grauumea and guidance workers in Wiscon sin. One of the important findings of these studies is that if the em ploye of the future is to get atd VioiH a loh in n successful manner. he must learn to control his emo tions as well aa he does his mo tions while he is at work. Further mnri. the future employe will no longer be able to get along suc cessfully Dy just Knowing now vo do only one Kind Oi a jod. ne musi tnr and do well two Or three different kinds of work rather than one very specialized type as has been the case in the past. With the co-operation of eighty four persons drawn largely from a committee of the National Society nr rhP Ktndv of Education which has been evaluating guidance work, 338 representative employ ers, both large and small, were in- tarvtowAri a a a basis for the fttudv. The analysis forms used in the study were iniea out xor mm sep arate job specifications involving 4.104 actual positions in twenty- nine states. To fulfill the job requirements of a new time, employers suggest that more oe done in naving siu-, dents' attitudes reflect the fact, that life, although interesting, like-( SCHOONER DRIVE SALESMEN IKE INITIAL REPORT Checkup Reveals Total of 29 Subscriptions Sold Thus Far. LANTZ ADDRESSES GROUP Wimberly and Yenne Will Speak to Workers at Next Meeting. With the first report meeting, which was held Monday after noon at 5 o'clock in Ellen Smith hall, the Prairie 'Schooner drive which is to last all this week was begun in earnest. A checkup of subscriptions showed a total of 29 sold, with Bash Perkins' team in the lead with seven subscriptions. This re Dort however was incomplete since j many-of-tha-wnrkers-werp absent. Pror. Kan w. L,antz, or tne edu cation department, spoke to the workers on how to sell their pro duct. Expressing confidence in the success of drive, he urged the girls to believe sincerely in the worth of their product before they attempted to sell it. "Don't make apologies when you approach someone," he said. " you're really doing every person to whom you sell a subscription a favor; the Schooner is indirectly valuable to every individual in the university because it is of tremen dous value to the University of Nebraska." The second report meeting will be held in Ellen Smith Hall today at 4 o'clock. Dr. Lowry C. Wim berly, editor of the Schooner, and Herb Yenne of the dramatics de partment will be the speakers. Vincent Hnizda of Lincoln Elected to Sigma Xi at-rown. . . - PROVIDENCE, R. I. Vincent v WnizHn. of 2635 Garfield st Lincoln, Neb., has been elected to full membership in tne tirowr TTnivfrsitv Chapter of Siema Xi honorary scientific society, the university Committee on Academic Honors announced here toaay. Jvir. Hnizda, a graduate ' student at Brown, is a graduate of the Blue Rapids mgn scnooi in ivansas, re ceived his Sc. B. degree from the University of Nebraska in 1928, and his A. M. degree from Brown University in 1930. Sigma Xi at Brown University this voir elected 17 students to full membership and 13 students to associate memoersmp. run members were named on the oasis of original independent research, and associate members on the basis of excellence in two or more departments of science or evidence of promise as investigators in the field of science. Mr. Hnizda who Is concentrating in the field of cnemistry, is con ducting research in dilute am monia solutions. He is developing nn entirelv new experimental pro cedure in obtaining pure solvent ammonia and in preparing very dilute solutions of ammonium chloride. wise is a serious affair, success in which demands resourceful effort, social obligations, nd personal ad justments, Professor Edgerton said. "The individual who will be in demand is one" who can get along successfully with other persons, since employers believe social in telligence is to he an increasingly important factor in future voca tion success," he asserted. "Such present day shortcomings as poor self control, discourtesy, dishon esty, and a lack of dependability should be overcome, the employ ers insist, stressing the great in dispensability of these necessary qualities in bothi social and occu pational life." The study also revealed that employers are concerned about such essential qualities as open inindedness, judgment, loyalty, thoroughness, initiative, interest, natural humor, and neatness of person and dress. Another important finding is that other qualifications being equal, a college graduate will have a far belter, chance of placement and of advancement in the future than one without college training. Notwithstanding past reported practices, one well trained in lib eral arts and sciences plus basic thinking is now to have some ad vantage over the too highly tech nically trained and specialized candidate, Professor Edgerton said. Actual placement promises to become more difficult since a high er level of preparation is being asked for by employers, conse quently everyone will need to strive harder for successful wage (Continued on Fag 4.)

FRST EHEARSA CAMPUS COP WILL BE TON GH jd Tells Why Advertising igwell and Copeland Bills the NRA came into being, bandtrt together to form a fair code of ad vertising ethics and that newspa pers should receive credit for the fact that they refuse to accept many dollars worth of advertising which they could legally accept. He added that there is not a news paper in Nebraska that could not show a large profit this year if it were willing to accept some of the advertising which they are so fre quently offered. "The Tugwell bill and the Cope land bill now before committees in congress represent the most recent efforts to cure abuses in advertis ing. Why is it, therefore, that ad vertising men who have been ac tive for more than twenty years in their efforts to eliminate the dis honest advertiser seem to oppose these two b'.lls? It is because they have found from years of exper ience that you cannot legislate morals, and truth in advertising is entirely a moral matter. They know that the dishonest advertiser finds a wny around any legislation that is passed." 5
