ROME Italy, mother of univer
sities, bids her own universities
awaken and reassume their world
leadership.
In the days of the Renaissance,
the universities of Italy led the
world to the new learning that
overcame the darkness of the Mid
dle Ages. The universities of Bo
logna, Padua, Florence and Rome
had a large part in the great
movement that brought the new
light.
Italian Universities .
Since those glorious days, how- j
ever, the universities of Italy have (
been often content to rest upon ,
their deserved laurels, while the '
rest of the world takes intellectual I
leadership, i.ven wnen iiai v. known drfuiitelv to fluctuate. Va
unified, her universities exhibited i b) t .p- now (,ountPcj nv
a tendency to remain provincial, j
Their professional faculties were
crowded, their scholarly hails al
most deserted. Science was taught
altogether by the lecture method,
medicine was learned in the clinic;
laboratories wore almost as rare
as in Gallico'.s day. Libraries of a
hundred thousand volumes were
considered Jaige. and professors
had to earn their living outside of
their teaching.
Such conditions could not plonse
tho fascist government. If youtn
was to lead th'' new Italy, it must
be thorn! v and aerefully trained.
Giovanni 'Gentile, who had long
twen a professor, was the first
minister of education under Jlus
nolini. and Ins successors, Kedele
and Ercole, were also schoolmen.
T'nder their leadership and tne
duce's own, a revolution began to
take place.
Science First Need.
Science was the first need, and
laboratories wore built, until imw
there are none finer in Europe
than those in the university eily
t Rome. Italy's great .ricntists,
like Marconi, ere called to help
with the instruction, and 1lie sal
aries of professors were heavily
increased, so that they might fcive

A star that winks at us even-
two and three-quarter days may
be seen in the earlv evening by
looking westward half way be-
I tween the horizon and zenith.
Algol is not an extremely brilliant
object, but may be obsen'ed easily
.:. v. ,k. imnj,i,-vi pvp sinpp ir is
ordinarily as bright as the north
star.
For nearly two and a half days
this white-hot star shines con
stantly at second magniture. Sud
denly it begins to fade, and within
five hours it has declined to the
third magniture, sending us less
than one-third its normal light. It
immediately begins to brighten
again, and within five hours more
it hss regained its original magni
tude. Repeated Regularly.
These strange fluctuations are
regularly repeated in a period of
three days. The unusual behavior
of Algol was first investigated in
J7h2 by John Goodriekc, an IS
year old Englishman.
At the opening of the nineteenth
eentnrv there were recorded only
11 stars whose luminosities were

The libraries were impioved,
first thocr in the cities, like the
new (ire h Florence which nouses
a million volumes, then those in
the universities themselves. The li
brary of the Catholic university,
the Sacre Cuore in Milan, is a
rich store of material arranged
for eHKy accessibility. The Ales-
sandnna library in the new uni
versity citv ut Rome is built to
hold more volumes than the fa
mous Vatican collection itself.
Foreign Students.
The heavy migration of foreign
students, even Americans, to Italy
has been increasingly marked in
the past few years and is evidence
of the progress that is lieing made.

ably a large portion of the stars
vary their energy output at least
slightly. Even the sun is a variable
star, altering its total radiation by
some 3 percent in a period of
about 11 years. Oddly enough, the
sun emits its greatest amount of
radiant energy in years when it is
covered with sun spots.
Sun's Energy Varies.
Variable stars may be grouped
into two main classes. Stars of
the first class, or true variables,
actually alter the intensity, and
usually the color, of their light.
These changes are accompanied
by a periodic rise and fall of the
star's temperature. Variables of
the second class are double stars
of constant brightness revolving
around each other in orbits viewed
edge-on from the earth. Algol is
of the second type.
One component of the Algol sys- j
tem is a very hot star of high I
luminosity; the other is a star j
larger than the sun but one so
"coo!" that it gives off relatively
little light. The two are separated j
by a distance of some three mil- I
lion miles and revolve in the pe- !
nod fc'ivpn a bove.
When the fainter star begins to
! pass in front of the brighter one, j
; the resulting eclipse causes the !
i apparent luminosity of the system
to fade rapidly. The fainter star1
is not entirely dark. A very small ',
dec rease ni Algol's light occurs ;
' half a period alter the major de- J
crease when the brighter star i
eclipses the fainter one. Syracuse

dent Robert Gordon Sproul. of the
University of California, this week
said an investigation was being
made into charges of District At

county, accusing two university
professors of "consorting; with
i those who would overthrow the

Cleary. in a letter to Dr. Sproul.
demanded dismissal of FY. Max

i Harry Conover, teaching assistant
in economics, on grounds that they
"sympathized with communists
and agitators."
Not Socialists.
Radin and Conover denied
Cleary s charges, saying they "are
not and never have been com
munists' or socialists."

tack on RaJin's "legal ethics."
He declared Radin attended a
San Francisco mass meeting Feb.
5, called in protest against the
Modesto conviction of eight mari
time union men for "reckless pos
session of dynamite" during the
oil tanker seamen's strike.

Geary asserted thi9 was one of
three meetings called as "a part
of the communist directed cam
paign to exert mass pressure on
the state board of prison terms and
paroles and third district court of
appeals" to obtain release of the
convicted men.
"Professor Radin. being a pro
fessor of law at the university,
should know," said Cleary in a
prepared placement, "that such an
effort to influence the board of
paroles or the district court of ap
peals by mass pressure of radicals
is an activity that should not be
entered into by any ethical lawyer,
to say nothing of a professor of the
university who is paid by the tax

900 Colleges Compete for
Trophy Denoting Best
Sharpshooters.
Nebraska's rifle team and their
coach, Sergeant McGimsey, are
hopefully awaiting the outcome of
the competition for the William
Randolph Hearst trophy for which
they have been firing the past
week.
These meets are held over the
nation among 900 college teams.
Each team fires on its own range
and then turns its score in. The
scores are compared and the win
ners are announced. The nation is
divided into districts, and both dis
trict and national champions are
determined.
In Seventh District.
Nebraska is in the seventh dis
trict. There are thirty-nine teams
in this district. Last year Nebras
ka ranked fifth in the final reck
oning in the district with a score of
902 of a possible 1,000. The win
ning score was 920 and was turned
in by the University of Minnesota.
The' best score fired this year by
the Huskers is 907 and the team is
confident that they will be near
the top with this score. Word on
the final outcome is expected in
the next few days.
Tho Sergeant McGimsey is hope
ful for an excellent team ranking,
he doesn't believe that any of the
individual records will be high
enough to bring home any honors.
The best score in the local firing
squad was fired by John Campbell,
a junior from Lincoln, who tore up
the bullsryc with 387 of a possible
200. George Beyer turned in the
next best score with 184.
Scores Recorded.
The score of 907 was collected
by the Huskers' A team. The
team and the scores are as follows:
John Campell, 187; George Eager,
:75: Jack Avery, 178; George
Beyer, 184; and Bob Brown, 183.
The second best score among
the Husker participants was re
corded by the B team. The score
was 868 knd was accounted for by
the following men: Bob Miller, 168;
John Salvards, 162; J. Jack, 183:
C. Humphrey, 181; and Omar
Heins, 174.
The D team chalked up 857 to
come in a close third. Riflemen on
this team include: Clarence Mey
ers, 165: C. Galloway, 17C; Charles
Gibbs. 171; John Cattle, 176; and
C. Thompson, 166.
The C team turned in the lowest
score of the Huskers with 805. This
team is composed of: Dale Bon
ham 147; Ed Schmid. 172; Art
Boyer. 162; Rob Avery. 161: Bob
Mowbray, 163.

Nebraska Olympic Candidates
Begin Preparatory Workouts
Lloyd Cardwell Bears Down
On Hop-Skip-Jump
Technique.
Olympic candidates from Ne-Hr-a
hre-an their initial work
outs for the Olympic tryouts to be
held in the east this July in con
nection with their regular Corn
husker duties.
Lloyd Cardwell, tutored by
Coach "Indian" Schulte, started
work on the hop-ekip-and-jump
event with extremely favorable re
sults. "Cardy" hopped-skipped-and-jumped
40 feet 4 inches with
only a few yards' run in practice
Tuesday. Last summer in the A.
A. A. meets held in Lincoln, Cardy
did 4i eet 4 inches. The world
record is over 51 feet, made by
Metcalfe of Australia several
years ago.
Coach Schulte refused to name
the other men who are hoping for
berths on the Olympic train, be
cause he felt that if the Huskers
failed to make the team, the pub
lic would be down on them. Fred
Chambers, "Jake" Jacobsen, Sam
Francis, Standley Haight, Glenn
Funk, and several others are prob
ably candidates. The three best
athletes in America will be se
lected by the Olympic board for
each event with more entries in
the various runs.
