T1U1C? Daily N EBRAS KAN Around and About By Sarah Louise Meyer. Official Student Newspaper of the University of Nebraska LINCOLN, NEBHASKA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1936. PRICE 5 CENTS. VOL. XXXV NO. 103. Never having enjoyed any marked literary fecundity, we are forced, on this chilly March eve ning, to turn out our pockets, ran sack our files of stray notes, and belabor an invariably faulty memory to pet grist for the col umnar mill. It Is at times like this that one vows to keep notebooks of little incidents that might, some time in the future, be dumped into the hopper in pinch-hit fashion as one frets in such literary dol drums. Everyone well knows what it is that young mens' fancies turn to in spring when the trees are awakening and botanists are ex ulting over the swell blue grass crop in prospect. It remains, how ever, for the Chi Phis (Mr. Man aging Editor, don't delete this, please!) to find a new aspect to the spring problem. A spy of this department was amazed the other morning to awake and see a brother of the bond, yet attired in his pajamas with a gray robe over them, flying a kite from the roof of the chapter house. The spy reports that the Chi Phis have taken quite an interest in kite fly ing recently, but getting up in the morning to fly one is something again. In a thoroly interesting volume by C. C. Furnas, entitled "The Next Hundred Years," we find this remark, "In discussing the possi ble improvement of our national stock, we must remember that we are human beings first and gene ticists afterward." In our last column, we printed a little poem by Bob Pierce. The day it appeared, he came around moaning that the whole idea of the thing had been ruined by the misspelling of one little word. We here and now apologize to Bobby for this desecration. V Farther on, Mr. Furnas ob serves, "Less than 1-2000 of an ounce of thyroxine is all that stands between Einstein and im becility." And now we feel like we felt the time some high school teacher told us our body would be worth about $1.87 commercially for the minerals etc. it contained. (This last crack was later ex posed to us, by a Teachers' col lege student, as a mere pedagog ical trick employed by instructors to make something stick in a pupil's mind.) Regardless of the aplomb which normally characterizes a person's actions, there arc two circum stances under which the most graceful person in the world can not help being as awkward as a high school sophomore at his first ilnnnp. These are chasinir a hat that has been blown ' off by the I wind, and retrieving a ping pong ball. We defy the most urbane of our acquaintances to be graceful at a time like that. ' We, for some quaint reason or j other, recall an Oriental proverb going like thus: "Allah is great, man is weak, woman is evil." How about it, Poppa? To all ye who are sniffling thru the snrinir as ve sniffed thru the winter, we commend Dr. C. C. Fur-, nas' pet remedy. "The proper way j .0 choose a remedy for a cold Is to , write down all known methods, each on a separate slip, mix well, . and while heavily blindfolded, ! withdraw one. One has the satis-! faction of knowing that the rem edy thus prescribed will be ju.-it as good fi any other." Jack Fischer may now be regarded as an authority on such matters. He missed the Prom, spending the eve ning in the Pi K. A. dormitory j having a swell time. Propriety for- i bids further description ot the i remedial measures lie took. I . m Vint. Orin Stepanek is now as- ! sin cd that spiing is here. He saw J "Bobby kissed his girl" scrawled ; on a sidewalk in chalk. It's a sure J sign, be says, and, he adds, "it's i U tter than most of the poetry ! you'll read in here, at that." Before we forget It, Mr. Stc- j panck, who takes such precautions ayainst cheating in his tests, w;u quite completely cheated recently by a young lady who rcfeiled to her text repeatedly during a test. We suggest that he and Dr. It. D. Scott get together and have a good ciy. E ICAL I Pupils of Eleven Teachers Appear on Program at Temple Theater.

Struck down at 25th and Hol drege as he ran in front of a car driven by Albert Moseman, sopho more in the college of agriculture, Jimmy Whitten, 4 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. G. E.

Terming the Nebraskan edito rial criticizing the proposed sale of economics books to erect a memorial to Dean Roscoe Pound as "uncalled for" criticism, Dean J. E. LeRossignol, head of the department of business adminis tration told a Lincoln Star re porter that he thought the proj ect to honor Pound an "admir able one." LeRossignol pointed out that his college would be unable to use Dr. Joseph Goodbar's text book, "Managing the People's Money" in the manner suggested altho advanced classes of fifteen or twenty students would em ploy it. Answering the Dean's rebuff, Irwin Ryan, editor of the Ne braskan, defended his disapprov al today with the assertion, "The plan and Dr Goodbar most cer tainly deserve criticism, if for no other reason than that com mercial enterprises should be reprimanded when they attempt to sell their products in the col lege field by appeals to college pride and loyalty, even tho the object of such an appeal may be worthy."

Now Frank Jackson Fischer is about to throw his last shirt in the trunk and make his way back to his western home with a Bache lor of Arts degree in his pocket. During his four years stay in the capital city Jack chalked up a list of honors unapproachable by all but the greatest student activities workers. As president of the Student Council, he initiated the movement which has led to the probable con struction of the Student Union building. It was during this same year that the bookstore campaign "which is about to become a reality was first introduced to the cam pus. As a politician "Fischy" has done much to direct the policies of the Progressive faction and it is thru his experience that the popu lar leader hopes to make a name. Altho as yet Jack is reluctant in committing himself as to any cer tain leaning toward either of the two popular political beliefs, his closest friends have intimated that when he casts his vote next No vember it will probably be in sup port of the democratic party. As a fitting climax to the color ful university career, Jack has Printing Difficulties Prevent Sale of Blue Print This Week 1 . !
