which he has applied scientific
methods which have hitherto not
been used in crime detection," Dr.
Pagel related.
Since his work has attracted
considerable attention, be has been
featured In many metropolitan

pointed out. Dr. Mathews has
given many lectures relative to his

dressed social work majors on the

ticular rural problems relating to
residence, transients, attitude of
local officials, lack of social fa
cilities for medical and dental
care, and for psychiatric and legal
services, the inability to find
trained workers, low salaries, and
the difficulty encountered by un

terpreting their jobs to local com
munities. Dr. Witte graduated from the

degree In economics at this in
stitution, secured his doctors de
gree in that subject at the Chicago
university, taught three years at
Ohio Wesleyan, an1 took one yaer

ice Administration at Chicago
university.
Herman Gendel. chairman of
the uonthly luncheon committee,
presided at the Thursday affair.
SOCIAL WORK MAJORS
Browne put the final touches on
his Scarlet and Cream quintet on
Thursday before leading his men
into the stormy basketball waters
of the conference.
One change will be made In the
lineup as announced early In the
week, Harvey Widman of Mead re
placing the ineligible Lester Mc
Donald at center. Widman will be
supplemented in the center's duties
by Harry Sorensen of Hardy. Or
dinarily playing guard, at which
post he scintillated as a sopho
more last year, Widman waa
moved to center early in the year,
but may be used in ellher position.
With the lone exception of cen
ter, however, the team will remain
as given, Henry Whitaker, St. Jo
seph, Missouri, and Howard Baker,
Grand Island soph, starting at for
wards, and Bud Parsons, Lincoln,
and George Wahlquist, Hastings,
at the guards. Parsons, the only
senior member of the hoop squad,
will captain the Huskers in their
initial conference performance.
The Iowa State team will arrive
in Lincoln Saturday morning and
will probably work out in the coli
seum sometime Saturday morning.
They will travel from Ames to
Omaha, where they will spend Fri
day night, and will return to Om
aha immediately after the game.
With six non-conference and one
conference victory already in their
hunting bag, tha Cyclones are
given more than an even chance
to come off on the long end of the
score Saturday night Sport critics
and scribes have picked the Iowans
as co-favorites with Kansas for the
valley title, and it is not a difficult
task for them to get the nod in
their tussle with Nebraska.
Ranking the two teams by com
petitive scores against common op
ponents, the Cyclones are given a
distinct edge. The only foe both
have met on the maples is Iowa
university, and where Nebraska
ended second best by a 31 to 24
count in an overtime period, the
Iowa State college of agriculture
nnd mechancis triumphed 44 to 33.
But unless basketball is a greatly
different sport than football, where
competitive scores aren't worth a
tinker's darn, the rankings against
the Hawkeyes can be thrown in
the waste "basket before written
down.
But seven straight wins, one
