Principal.
With the enrollment increased to
IRK, teachers college high school of
the university has been forced to
turn down many applications for
registration, according to Principal
W. H. S. Morton. Members of the

Must Restore Profits to Business
and Dividends to Investors Before
Recovery Reached, Says LeRossignol
For the 'Toad to recovery" profits must he restored to
business and dividends must be famed hy the investors of cap
ital. This is the opinion of Dr. J. E. LeRossignol, dean of the
college of business administration. Attempts to destroy capital
ism in the United States by removing profits from business are
naDie to -succeea in Kiinn? tneo
goose which has laid the golden
egg," he warns.
"The services of those who as
sume the risks tnd respansibilities
of business enterprise must be re
munerated by adequate though not
excessive profit." writes the Dean
In an article, "An American Social
Plan," which appeared in the Sep
tember Issue of the "American
Bankers Journal."
"In the long run business cannot
be carried on without profit, for
that is the remuneration of busi
ness enterprise. Just as wages are
the pay of labor, and interest the
reward for the saving, conserving
and investing of capital. If we say
that business people should serve
without profit, we might as well
say that laborers should work

"The relation, then, between

Field Party of
Fossil Seekers
Meet in Museum
Nebraska museum field parties
returned last week to their head
quarters in Morrill hall on the uni
versity campus. Some ten univer
sity students under the direction of
C. Bertrand Schultz have again
spent the summer in the northwest
section of the state searching for
fossil remains of prehistoric an
imals. Their finds have amounted to
over 9,700 pounds as packed and
shipped back to the luuseum, but
the value of the homes will not be
known until they are repaired and
assembled. Nearly 300 skulls of
animals, mostly those of creodents,
little deer-like beasts, have been
sent back. One searching party of
four worked around Valentine and
Burge; while the other of six spent
its time near Bridgeport and Craw
ford. In the museum on the univer
sity campus, several new exhibits
have been prepared this summer
for fall visitors. From Dawes
county has come a. "Merychippus"
skelton, a species of three-toed
horse. Standing about four feet
high, its remains have been set up
in Founders' Room adding to the
skeleton story of the evolution of
the horse, which museum workers
hope some day to have complete.
This specimen was found by Ted
Galusba. who lives in northwest
Nebraska.
Across the hall in the same room
may be seen a pair of newly
mounted rhinoceros skeltona. The
most unusual feature about these
animal remains, as also of the
small horse, is the new manner in
which the - bones are mounted.
Henry Reider and Frank Bell, who
set up the specimens, have mod
ernized and perfected their art so
as to use no visible support for the
fossil animals as they stand in the
cases. Usually the skeltons are held
up by iron pipes or rods. Lacking
these, the new exhibits appear to
bs tccti rCf fii! and permit more
careful observation.
The museum will be open to the
public each Sunday from 2 to 5.

STRUCK BY MOTORIST
Dorothy Neill Severely
Bruised in Accident
Friday Afternoon.
Dorothy Neill was struck down
by the car of Mrs. P. C. Scott, Fri
day as she was crossing the street
from Social Science hall to the
Temple. The girl was taken imme
diately to Lincoln General hospital
where doctors stated that no bones
were broken altho the right leg
and hip were badly bruised.
Miss Neill was hurrying thru the
rain and did not notice Mrs. Scott's
car bearing down upon her until
too late. She tried to stop, but her
foot slipped on the wet pavement
and she fell, sliding under the right
front wheel of the kidding car.
The wheel passed over her leg and
hip and when the car was finally
brought to a full stop the left rear
wheel was about three inches from
her head.
Money Available Immediately
to Upper Classmen
Frosh Ineligible.
Establishment by the student
publication board of a university
loan fund of $5,000 was announced
Saturday by Finance Secretary
L. E. Gunderson. The funds,
which are available at once, may
be loaned to upperclass students.
Freshmen are not eligible for the
loans.
Decision of the student publica
tion board of the university to
make available the sum of $5,000
to the Student Loan fund of the
institution was prompted by rec
ognition of the severe difficulties
confronting many students seeking
educational advancement and the
resulting heavy demand currently
placed on existing loan funds, ac
cording to Gayle C. Walker,
chairman of the Publication Board.
The publication board fund has
been developed over a period of
years from earnings of the three
major campuB publications the
Daily Nebraskan, the Cornhusker,
and the Awgwan. In view of a
yearly gross income from these
three publications of approxi
mately $26,060.39 it is necessary
for the board to keep available a
rather large reserve fund. Last
spring the board voted unanimous
ly to trim this operating reserve to

Americans Have Too Many Cars, Says
Physical Education Teacher; bwedish
Boys Take Their Girls on Long Walks
By EUTH MATSCHULLAT.
Expressing the belief that American girls have the oppor
tunity, if interested, to develop themselves into livelier, moro
vital "persons, Mrs. Injrrid Holm, a physical education teacher
from flothenburg, Sweden, who is stopping t the university
for a few days during her eight months tour of American col
leges, described the difference be-O-
tween American and Swedish girls
and the organization of Swedish
phvsical education.
Sparkling eyes, s clear complex
ion and a vibrant personality were
self -evidence for the truth of Mrs.
Holm's conviction. In Sweden, she
asserts, they train our girls more
like boys from the time they are
six years old, so that they are able
to take part in more strenuous
games when they are older.
Too Many Cars Here.
"Why. boys fulnk nothing of
taking "their girls for a six or swn

laughed, speaking with k delight

Under his direction the Scarlet

of the afternoon's work, and regis
tered 27 first downs in crossing the
Wyoming goal line eight times.
Meanwhile, the defensive units
functioned so well that the ever
