New Pair of Fossil
Mounted and
(Prom Sunday Journal and Star.)
A new pair of fossil rhinoceros,
called Diceratherium, has been
mounted in the Morrill hall mu
seum laboratory and was installed
In a permanent case in the Found'
er's room Thursday, June 28, and
is now on exhibition. One of the
two Is a male with paired horns
well forward on the tip of his
snout, the. other a female which
was hornless.
Fortunately, ror students and the
public, the collection of African
trophies made and donated by Mr.
Adam Breede makes comparisons
possible. A glance at the bigblack
African rhinoceros shows that it
has two horns arranged tandem,
that is one in front of the other,
while in the male Dicerantherium
they are side by side on the snout
Of Good Size.
There is a third rhinoceros for
comparison, namely the small
Diceratherium so common in the
bone quarries of Agate, central
Sioux county, Nebraska, and is on
exhibition in the Sioux county case.
The two Diceratheres are rhino
ceroses of good size for their backs
come well above the waists of the
preparators as shown in the figure.
They are so much larger than the
Sioux county forms that they may
prove to be a new species. They
are to stand in the south wall case
of the Founder's room with a pair
of Brown county Teleceras, the
short legged kind, on the other.
The introduction of this new
pair completes the case which is
45 feet long and 9 feet high and 6
feet deep. The background is a
fine mural done in soft harmonious
tones by the mural artist, Miss
Elizabeth Dolan.
Finds Bones at Bridgeport.
Bones occur in great profusion in
the Bridgeport, Morrill county,
beds which are of Miocene age.
The Bridgeport quarries have been
yielding unlimited quantities of
bones for the past two or three
years, during which time several
thousands have been secured. They
are well mineralized and strong
and many of them were shoveled

The very first rhinoceroses of

hornless. As time passed, however,
Nebraska boastea 01 more mgniy
organized, "bigger and better"
rhinoceroses of many kinds much
as the state does of horses, camels,
elephants and the like. In digging
out the cmtless bones of the an
cestral rhinoceroses the field par
ties come every now and then upon
the skulls and skeletons of the con
temporary wolves and tigers which
must have continuously harried
these herds and must have helped
to decimate their ranks.

Professor Swezey was born in
Rockford, 111., was graduated from
Beloit college in 1873, attended
Yale divinity school in 1S73-74, and
received an A. M. degree from Be
loit in 1876. In 1876 he received a
bachelor of divinity degree from
Andover Theological seminary.
Swezey was a Phi Beta Kappa,

three daughters.
Professor Swezey was a familiar
figure on the university campus,
admired and resnected by all who
knew him. His classroom was his
office. He reared and educated ms
three daughters while in Luvcom,
and spent many years alone, at the

CONNING
THE CAMPUS
with
Howard Dohson
What is your opinion of censor
ship of the movies, what particu
lar kind of pictures do you feel
should be censored, and what is
your opinion of movies in general ?
Evelyn Johnson, Clay Center,
Neb. I like the recent trend in
movies toward the musical com
edy type of picture although I do
not like complete abandonment of
plot for the sake of a song or
dance routine. I think that the
truth should be shown in pictures,
but I don't think that immorality,
vice, and crime should be glorified
or in any way condoned in movies.
The uneducated class, I feel, is the
most easily influenced, and censor
ship should be shaped with them in
mind. I don't think that children
should attend movies too frequent
ly nor that they should be shown
gangster or crime films. It doesn't
seem to me that the church is the
proper agency for launching a cen
sorship drive, and I think that the
government would be more effi
cient in accomplishing anything of
importance in this line. Churches
are too apt to be biased and other
wise unfair.
Lila Pierce, Grand Island, Neb.
I think that movies should be
censored and that such action
should be directed against demor
alizing themes such as crime, vice,
and such. I do not think that
there are a large number of movies
that are unfit for children to see,
but do think that they should be
kept from crime pictures, etc. I
don't think that the church should
lead such a drive as it is too lia
ble to bias and the views of leaders
from such an organization are too
often narrow. Maybe the govern
ment should do it. Personally I
like excitement in pictures -even
fantastic, impossible things that
could never happen in real lite.
Marcella Mason, Norfolk, Neb.
I think that the recent trend of
the movies to such films as Little
Women, As the Earth Turns, and
Alice in Wonderland indicates that
censorship is not needed. If the
public likes pictures of this sort,
and box office records show that
they do, I see no need for a censor.
I like pictures with something to
them.
John Gilmore, Murray, Neb. 1
suppose there should be some cen
sorship of movies, and personally
I would like to see more pictures
of the musical comedy type. This
sex stuff gets old and doesn't seem
to be any real menace, l like ac
tion in my pictures, and no love
scenes.
The above question was selected
because of the recently inaugu
rated and much publicised censor
ship drive which has been launched
by several churches of the coun
try. Perhaps students do not have
a true perspective of the situation,
but those approached all had very
definite ideas on the subject and
had no trouble in formulating an
opinion.
I think that wiuiout question
pictures featuring marital infidel
itv. divorce, crime, vice, and vari
ous forms of immorality h-we a de
trimental influence on a certain
class of thetheater going public.
These pictures are shown at the
cheaper houses where this class of
patrons is largely attracted, ana
nrobablv some damare is done. I
would not attempt to estimate bow
much, and would nesitate to ac
cept an estimate made by anyone
else.
The Question at hand seems to
me to fall in with that of cheap
magazines. A purging ail oown
th line would have to take place
to make any real difference. Possi
bly the public has been educated
to desire this sort of stuff, and
possibly the taste is natural. That
is also debatable.
Tt 4a further debatable that any
cleaning up of the movies would
make anv chance in that the class
of Tonle casilv affected would be
as easily 'led astray" by any one
of a thousand tier influences.
Rn where did we ret with all oi
this? I got some space filled, any
way.

vere cut on his hand. He had been
injured by a burSt!: tube, and if
the accident had not occurred be
fore 4 o'clock he would have been
unabl to secure the attention his
wound demanded. Two stitches
were required to draw the cut to
gether, and it would have been un
fortunate as well as expensive if
he had had to go all the way down
town for medical attention. After
all, he paid a $2 medical fee.
It has been suggested that out
of fairness to the girls of the cam
pus that this department should
offer a question in retaliation for
the blond and brunet controversy
promoted some time ago. This has
been taken under advisement and
will be done as soon as a suitable
question has been found or of
fered. Dr. Lyman said recently in re
gard to Fourth of July celebrations
that it had always seemed funny to
him that we dissipated on days in
commemoration of events over
which our ancestors bled and died.
He suggested that the Fourth
would have been much more fit
tingly spent in hard work. Think
of it!
