tories, and Friday respectively.
Activity in mechanical and elec

mechanic arts, and chemistry
buildings, and in Brace laborator
ies will begin Thursday evening at

from student enterprise in ar
ranging, preparing, and earning
the necessary money to hold open
houses.
Amnniv the features is the trans-

About one hundred and twenty
students, as a par: of their Geog
raphy 71 laboratory work, made
an excursion last Saturday
through the lower Platte valley for
the purpose of inspecting glacial
drift, Iolss capped hills, drainage
patterns, land utilization, and
other points of geographic interest.
Their main stops were at Weeping
Water, Louisville, and the State
Fisheries. Dr. Bengston. Dr. Esther
Anderson, Dr. Willcm Van Royen,

camp overnight, and demonstrate
their skill in archery, wall climb
ing, knife throwing and signalling
by use of flags and pounding on a
hollow log.
When the first and second scout
circuses were presented, they took
place in the coliseum, but with the
prospect of increased attendance,
the location was changed to the
stadium.

Insanity Claims More People
Than Our Colleges Graduate
Seniors and others, who are looking forward to a long life
oi' comparative mental stability in order to enjoy vocational and
recreational pursuits will be somewhat taken aback uy a state
ment quoted by Miss Lee, head of the Women's Physical Edu
cation department recently: "Of all the children who are in
our Dublic schools in America to-O
day, more of them will finish their
lives in insane asvlums than will
ever graduate from college." The
remark was made by Dr. O. R.
Yoder. Assistant Medical Superin
tendent of the Ypsilanti State hos
pital, Ypsilanti Michigan, at the
recent Mid-west Physical Educa
tion convention.
Dr. oder based his assumption
on the present rate at which Amer
cans are declaring Mental Mora
toriums. He cited examples of
countless citizens, who, after hav
ing faced extensive losses in
money, social relationships, etc..
had called a halt on mental disci
pline and resorted to insanity as
an escape. -

Editors to. Place Circus
Issue on Stands
Monday.
Resplendent in the garb of
the sawdust ring, the May issue
of Awgwan with its cimis
theme is to be placed on the
stands Monday, May G. The
May number is the last issue of
the year.
Maurice Johnson contributes
"Brothers in Mu Lambda Mil" to
the May issue. Editorial staff
members commented they believed
this short story to be the best lit
erary contribution to the magazine
this year. Johnson also collab
orates with Weldon Kees in an
other featured story of the issue.
Fanning the flame of an old
friendly feud between university
publications is the May Awgwan's
feature "Daily Nebraskan Burles
que." This feature is a joint con
tribution of several members of
the editorial staff.
Alan Parker is the artist of the
cover of the May issue and also
contributes a caricature of every
member on the Awgwan staff.
Robert Pierce has several draw
ings following the circus theme in
cluding sketches of circus animals
with the faces of prominent cam
pus individuals superimposed upon
the drawings replacing the heads
of the animals.
The magazine is to be placed on
sale Monday morning, May 6, at
the customary stands and will be
delivered to the organized houses
in the afternoon.

Clifford Crooks, director of mar

third indp-e in the selection of the
best ads appearing in Nebraska
community newspapers during ine
month of July, according to Vir
ginia Spllerk. -president of Gamma

sorority which is sponsoring ine
contest.
Th nthpr two iude-es are Prof.
Gayle C. Walker, director of the
school of journalism, and Prof. F.
C. Blood, professor of advertising
and sales management and sponsor
of Gamma Alpha Chi.
Results r.ill be announced Wed
nesday, according to the judges,
who plan vo make firal selection
nf the ads at a meetinar Tuesday
afternoon. Members of Gamma Al
pha Chi have chosen approximately
one hundred advertisements from
which the final selections will be
made.
Pnnprs from which the ads are
being taken are those which have
a fimiintion of 1.000 or over and
which are not located in Omaha or
Lincoln. Selection of ads is based
on the following seven points: Lay
out, truth, buying information,
headlines, typography, and time
liness. Using four different classi
fications the advertisements were
separated into the following types:
XTprrhandiRlnp- .includine1 nrice and
quality; institutional; sen-ice, and
general.
Committees of the group which
have been at work on the project
include the following members: Pa

Catherine Stoddard, Ruth Ander

In speaking before this group,
Mr. Yoder expressed the opinion
that the physical education teach
ers are the key persons to prevent
this alarming condition in the
schools of today, because they can
give emotional training most ade
quately througn a supervised
sports program. He believes that
the correct instruction in physical
education classes will teach them
to think of winning in verms of :
life, rather than accumulating ban
ners and pennants. The man who
has been through a riporous physi- I
cal routine knows that ne must J
