SPEAKER FOR THETA
SIG DINNER IS ILL
Peterson Lecture Sponsored
Friday by Journalism
, Sorority.
Elmer T. Peterson, who is to
speak at a dinner sponsored by
Theta Sigma Phi. honorary jour
nalistic sorority, on Friday at 6:30
at the city Y. W. C. A., is well
known to Nebraskans as an editor
author, and publisher, according to
members in charge of the atrair.
Mr. Peterson is probably best
known as the editor cf Better
Homes and Gardens, but he is. in
addition, author of one of the new
novels of this spring, "Trumpets
West." and is a former Kansas
publisher. He has been successive
ly editor of the Lindsborg Record.
Cimarron Jacksonian. Wichita
Eagle. Kansas City Star, and the
Wichita Eeacon. While he was en
gaged as an editor and publisher,
many of his articles dealing with
the' "early "boom towns 'of KatfS&s
appeared in the Saturday Evening
Post.
His novel. "Trumpets West." is
characterized by two unusual and
ambitious features. One is the in
clusion of musical motives thru
out the book. The other is telling
the story of the rise of Iowa and
Kansas by relating not only the
story of the rise and triumph of
a Swedish family in America, but
also paralleling "this phase of the
story with the bigger subject of
the rise of civilization and its west
ward trek since prehistorical days.
Ex-governor Henry J. Allen of
Kansas calls the book a "vivid pic
ture of a whole era."
Mr. Peterson, who has for sev
eral year been a champion of the
writers of the middle-west, will
also spaaK before the Nebraska
Writers' guild on Saturday.

Mehrashan May Add

Staff for 1934-35
Although the proposal has not

the position of womans editor of
the Daily Nebraskan will again be
established for the coming year.
The office has regularly been filled
until last year, when It was dis

The addition of this staff mem

classes are regular Smith-Hughes
classes which are in operation all
over the country, but because of
the better equipment, these few
Lincoln classes have been moved
to the basement of Teacher's col

government pays between 60 and
70 percent of the coat of salary
and the local schools pay the up

work does not take the place of
the work that downtown mer
chants might do, as most of the
students couldn't afford to have It
done elsewhere. One man made a
practically new sewing machine
cabinet which took a great deal of
time and labor, while others con

Nearly 500 Alumni to Converge On

almost 300 alumni of the university will converge on Lincoln
Commencement. Day, June 4, for their annual round-up.
Honored as the class of twenty years ago the class of 1914 will
be especially featured in the day to-
program. Walter wuson, uncoin
architect, is prseldent of the 1914
alumni group, and Is working
with the almni office of the uni
versity in making plans for the
traditional honoring of the class
of twenty years ago.
As these several hundred grads
and former students come to Lin

thruout the United States and
other nations, the main attraction
at commencement will be Owen D.
Young, internationally famous
lawyer and financial expert. Mr.
Young has been secured to speak
at the annual commencement day
exercises in the coliseum, and his
speech will probably be broadcast
over a nation-wide radio hookup.
For the alumni another feature
