Something's Wrong! 67 Students Vote
Willingness to Marry British While
Only 55 Qualify Them for Neighbors
When only fifty-five out of sixty-eight university students
indicate that they would be willing to have Britishers or peo
ple of that nationality for next dour neighbors and sixty-seven
or all but one of the same group state that they would be will
ing to marry Britishers, this denotes some peculiarity in race
prejudice or in something, mostiyo-
something thus concluded Prof,
H. W. Stoke after giving a pre
judice test to his public opinion
class. In the test, prejudice against
a number of nationalists was un
covered as well as 'feeling-reactions'
against many words and
phrases such as League of Na
tions, Protective tariff, Greek
Catholic, Ku KIux Klan and so on.
In the first part of the test, Dr.
Stoke asked sixty-eight students
to indicate their willingness to ad
mit the average of many national
ities to certain associations such
as citizenship in their country,
membership in their church, as
neighbors, as members of their
club, and as partners in the
somewhat important relation of
matrimony. Other general results
were that a consistently larger
number of students decided that
to have people of nationalities
which they considered undesira
ble as regular members of their
churches would be alright but

PROM GIRL RACE
Committee Withholds List
Until Eligibility Is
Checked.
Seven university coeds have list
ed their intention of running for
Junior-Senior prom girl, according
to a report received from the stu

evening. Names will not be re
leased until Friday after the legis
trar's office has approved the
eligibility of the aspiring candi
dates. Interest shown by the large
number of girls filing has proved
itself to be greater in this contest
than in any other recent competi
tion on the campus. Only two can
didates ran for prom girl last year.
"We appreciate the support
shown both by the girls who filed
and by the Mortar Boards for en
couraging interest in the filings,"
stated Virginia Selleck, co-chairman,
speaking for the prom com
mittee, "and we hope that those
who have shown their intention of
running will successfully pass all

they would not admit the same na

Comparitively no discrimination
was shown against the British.
Fifty-six out of the sixty-eight
would be willing to marry French
men, but only forty-four thought
of the Germans as desirable in
this capacity. It might be con
cluded that few of the students
realized that Bohemians are
Czechs, because only a small per
centage of the total number who
filled out the blanks would harbor
Czechs as fellow workers, as part

Nebraska is full of Bohemians.

ON COSMIC RAYS AT
Graduate Major Plans
Review History of
Mystery Beams.
to
Speaking on cosmic rays at the
physics club meeting on Friday
evening. Feb. 22. in Brace labora
tory, Donald L. Jorgensen, gradu
ate physic major, will also demon
strate his own Geiger counter, a
complex piece of aparatus for the
purpose of measuring these rays.
Mr. Jorgensen has been working
on this apparatus and doing re
search on cosmic rays for the last
several months.
In his talk ne plans to review
the history of this ray whose com
position and behavior is still some
what of a mystery to physicists.
He will also spend some time in
consideration of the early experi
ments that were carried on in
building up the scant knowledge
that physcists have been able to
glean concerning the ray. He will
also discuss the part that strato
sphere flights have played in the
discovery that the intensity of
these rays increases with the alti
tude. In demonstrating his Geiger
counter, Mr. Jorgensen will allow
a current to pass thru a compli
cated arrangement of tubes; the
cosmic rays penetrate thru the
tube and allow some of the cur
rent to pass thru and click on a
sounder. These clicks are ampli
fied thru a loud speaker and can
be readily distinguished by the lis
tener. The only conception that is
obtained of the size of the ray
from this experiment is the num
ber of rays that pass thru an area
of a given minute opening.
Mr. Jorgensen declared that his
set-up of the counter, including an
arrangement of vacumized tubes
containing a special drier and the
proper gas for the experiment and
using 3.500 volts, should be of
some interest to all science ma
jors on the campus.

Hope for Student Peace

Informal Discussion Held
After Wednesday
Luncheon.
"While stating that there was
still some hope for a student
pence movement if people are
willing to pay the price, Harry
Terrell, western representative
of the National Council for Pre
vention of War, speaking before a
group of university students Wed
nesday noon at the Grand hotel,
declared that if present conditions
are to continue, such hope will
soon disappear.
The speaker cited as an exam
ple German universities, which be
fore the rise of Hitler to the dic
tatorship had 40.000 men enrolled,
and that during the past two
years of the Hitler regime the
number has been reduced to less
than 10,000. less than one-fourth
of the original uumber. He pointed
out that those men now enrolled
must go thru a term of six months
of military drill before they are
allowed to take up college work,
and their viewpoints are ready
made for them. There will only be
4.000 male students in the German
universities this year, according to
Mr. Terrell.
Peace Activities not Taught.
Mr. Terrell emphasized the
statement that leadership of a
peace movement will not come
from the R. O. T. C, and that the
tragedy of American universities,
and of the University of Nebraska,
is not in what it is taught, but in
what they fail to teach. In stres
sing this point, he pointed out that
successful activities of the League
of Nations and of the World
Court could not be found in the
courses of study in the universities.
Students must find out these facts
for themselves, and find out what
to accept and what to reject.
"The peace committees are
places for workers, aud not for
talkers," Terrell stated. He strong
ly flayed those - students, especi
ally women, who served on the
peace committees, and then at
tended and supported social func
tions as the Military ball and other
social affairs sponsored by the R.
