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

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. The price is still $4.50 cash
or in installments -of $2.50 down
and the balance of $2.25 when the
book arrives. On March 15, all
orders will be sent in to the printer
and cover manufacturer to be
made up.
Many New Features.
Thiel declared the many new
features incorporated in this book
greatly enhance its value, and
though the purchase price is soon
forgotten this book, which is filled
witn memories of Nebraska, will
become more precious as the years
go by.
According to Bob Thiel the out
standing characteristics of this
year's annual are new designs and

of these studies is that if the em

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

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."
