Gold is overemphasized as a factor in aiding business recovery, Prof. Karl M. Arndt told the Lin coln chapter of the American In stitute of Banking in a talk given recently at the chamber of com merce. "The part gold plays in our monetary system is realtively un important," Arndt declared. "It does little to guarantee price sta bility in this country." He pointed out that the government's borrow ing practices exert more influence on the monetary system than gold. The trend of credit expansion and government borrowing is a factor more important to the laymen, the speaker explained. Prof. Arndt stated that the re cent gold clause ruling of the United States supreme court was justified from an economic point or view. 'Kiss Columbo' to Feature Musical Compositions Of Students.

SETS UP CENTRAL FUND Prof. Victor E. Vraz. assistant professor of personnel manage ment, who was formerly on the faculty of Northwestern univer sity, addressed the Men's Commer cial club Wednesday evening. In his speech, he outlined the ad vantages and disadvantages of unemployment insurance, which today is one of the foremost topics in American political circles. In discussing the advantages of the system Prof. Verz said, in part: "Unemployment insurance should have a centralized fund, for this country has always suffered because of lack of organization. Unemployment insurance would afford safety only if it were cen tralized. By this method of cen tralization the states not so hard hit by depressions could come to the aid of their sister states." Commenting on the disadvan tages of the question, he said: "In what form will these funds be kept by the government? There is a need for a greater centraliza tion of our banking system, to ad minister the insurance fund. There is also the age old question of po litical influence upon the recipient, by those in charge." Enlarging on the above, Prof. Vraz stated that there are many difficulties which would arise from this legislation. As examples, he pointed out the widely varied view points of the laborer, the employer, and the consumer. He stated that it would lessen the number of smaller Industries, as they would tend to merge, and that the con sumer would eventually bear the burden of the federal payroll tax. In regard to the present eco nomic conditions. Prof. Vraa said, "The government should strive to recover business; it should make the dollar sound; and it should create a better credit system." In conclusion, he said, "It is no longer a question of whether or not we should have unemployment Insurance, but rather, how shall we create it? Should we centralize it? And should we discriminate between industries, or should we use the blanket system?" Places Available for Additional Reporters All those who wish to work on the fashion edition of the Daily Nebraskan, please report at the Nebraskan offices Fri day or Saturday afternoons. Service Men Have Trouble Tracking Down Faulty Wire Trouble finding a grounded wire Bomewhere on the campus which has been bothering the university several days past will be tracked down Saturday morning, promises L. F. Seaton, operating superin tendent.

FINAL PLANS FRIDAY Ticket Sales Drive by Corn Cobs Well Under Way States Hill. Junior-Senior Prom committee will meet Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock in room 8 of University hall to complete plans for the an nual affair to be held Friday, March 8, in the coliseum. Ticket sales were well under way Thurs day, according to co-chairman Irv ing Hill, president of Corn Cobs, which is backing ticket sales. According to members of the committee, the presentation plan, submitted by William Flax, which won the prize for the best idea, promises to be one of the most ar tistic and unusual ever attempted on the campus. Every candidate will be honored to some extent in the presentation, according to Clayton Schwenk, chairman of the committee in charge of presenta tion plans. Faith Arnold, orchestra chair man, feels that music as played by Arlie Simmon's and his college band, which is coming to Lincoln direct from Chicago for the prom, should draw as large a crowd as has attended anv one of the other major parties on the campus in past years. She went on to say that with a well known orchestra providing the music, with tickets priced at the low sum of $1.25. and with the suspense and curiosity aroused by the filing of seven candidates, r.he feels that all factors of the party would indicate an exceptionally large attendance. Tickets will remain on sale until March 8 and a ticket booth will be maintained at the prom. Ballots for prom girl have been placed on the ducats and votes can be cast only at the party. Voting closes at 10:15 and the presentation has been set for 11 o'clock. Mayor Fenton B. Fleming, former Gover nor Charles Bryan, and Prof. E. W.

Dating Expense Should It or Should It Not Be a 50-50 Proposition; Opinion Of Students Differ Reporter Finds By DAMON SANDEN. Editor's Note: Starting with the depression in 1929. when the bottom fell out of everything. o to speak, the question of 50-50 dates has been of especial interest among university students. The subject has more or less died dow in the past few months, but a recent survey of the campus shows that opinion is still divided on the subject. Hundred dollar a month allowances, millionaire fathers, playboys, and five thousand dollar ears are without question a thing of the past on this, and practically every other campus. In fact, masculine poekcts are so empty today that much debate has taken place on the question. "Should expenses be 50-50 on Conditions have reached a place where, in many ciaes, a man is forced to save his pennies ahead of time in order to take the "ob ject of nis affections" to an im portant social function. The ques tion now arises as to whether or not it is fair to force men to bear the entire burden of the expense on these occasions. With only a few dissenting voices, feminine opinion on this campus has declared itself firmly and absolutely opposed to the idea. The men, however, are less well organized, and lively argument has ensued, both for and against the question, while many remain non commital, firmly declaring that It makes no difference to them. Most Girls Oppose Idea. One fair coed stated. "I think that if a fellow can't afford to take a girl any place he should STATE FOUNDER S DAY CELEBRATION DRAWS NOTABLES Republicans Sponsor Meeting Held at Lincoln Hotel March 1. 0MAHANS CHARTER TRAIN Members of Campus Political Group Urge Students To Attend.

This is no more logical than that a man should expect his n-ifo tn minnnrf him lifter thpv are married unless, of course, such action is absolutely necessary. Knowing masculine vanity as I do, I think that if the practice were actually adopted, the men would be the first to rebel. It would take away from them their sense of superiority and masculine suprem acy, which seems to be eo neces sary to their existence. It would make them mere gigolos, and they wouldn't like it" Another expressed her views as follows: "There is no reason why dates should be 50-50. If it comes to a question of actual expense, dates, in the long run, cost a girl more than they do a fellow. She must constantly buy new clothes, while a fellow can get along with (Continued on Page 2.) r '- X iS i
