Consequently mmy come here with th exclusive idea of seeking 'knowledge to that end, failing to real ize 1 hiit a higher purpose of the university is to toich individuals how to live better. There are so many things in this world which are enjoyable. Mixed up with the splotches in life's picture is a lot of fine color. And the reason a lot of us don't see anything hut the smudges is that we have eome to think that activity is worthless unless it is required or is materially productive in an immediate sense, Many of us were urged to think in these terms very early, learned to play marbles for keeps -when kids, and never got out of the tendency to avoid that activity which does not yield something which can be taken home in the pocket. Learning how to relax take pleasure in superficially unproductive activity is one of the important lessons of more pleasant living. One does not have to resolve to be a loafer, in the highly prejudicial sense of the word, to learn to relax.. There is an art to good idling, the kind which gives your sensibilities a chance to exercise themselves, affords the set ting for the cultivation of an appreciation for beauty and the tendency to look for the in spirational rather than the sordid things in the panorama of society. The means to pleasant living these days cannot be completely divorced from the dollar mark. But the student who abandons or ignores the sources of benefit in the idler's art for nothing but the search to make a better living does himself an injustice. And what he gets out of the university eannot properly be termed a high education. From the Daily Texan. The Exam. Problem., Speaking with a candor and humility that i refreshing, a professor in the University stated last Friday to his classes that he had been "trying for thirty-five years to find a solution to the problem of examinations." And no answer had been found, it was in dicated. It i very probable that no answer ever will Dean of Women to Review Year's Activities at Last Meeting. Concluding the meetings of the charm school hobby group for this year, Mihs Amanda Heppner. dean of women of the university, will speak before members of the group at their meeting to be held this evening at 7 o'clock in Ellen Smith hall. All university gills, as well as others interested in at tending the meeting are invited to be present, according to Jean Doty, program chairman of the organization. The subject which Miss Heppner will discuss will be in the form of a summary of the most outstand ing points of the year's meetings and will include a short review of the various characteristics which have been brought out in the gath erings as being necessary to the development of charm. "We are anxious that members of the hobby group, as well as any others who might wish to be present, make plans to attend the meeting this evening, in order that charm school meetings for the year may be closed with success. A summary of most of the helpful hints which have been given at the year's meetings will undoubted prove valuable to those who at tend charm Bchool this evening," Miss Doty stated. The group, which is sponsored as one of the projects of the Coed Counselors, will probably make a tour of the state capitol at a. latter date, according to Miss Doty, but the meeting this evening will form Jly close the organization's gath erings for this school year.

"It is obviously a myth, because: there is an effort by the faculty with various other methods for testing the knowledge and thinking capacity of mudenta. If it is agreed that the present syslcin of obstructing the work of higher education, then there should be a definite eagerness on the pnrt of educators to revise that system. At the University of Chicago that revision is being attempted. An experimental program of comprehensive examinations is being tried. Those who formulated and are carrying out the "Chicago Plan" are apparently of the opinion that higher education should not be interfered with by frequent, unnecessary and distracting quizzes. In each course there is one examination winch is given at the end of the semester and that examination is a compre hensive one, that is, it covers the entire subject which has been under consideration by the student and professor. Students are not coached with the aim of passing regular two-week or monthly tests. All examinations are prepared by a Hoard of Ex aminers. The function of examining is not that of the professor. The teacher is not the judge, or the accuser and the student is not the petitioner for grace. At Chicago, the faculty administration is hop ing to work out an arrangement in which stu dent and instructor are co-partners in the ad venture of learning, with the professor enjoy ing a respect that is the result of his superior knowledge and insight. The "Chicago Plan" of comprehensive ex aminations is frankly an experiment. It seems to be functioning exceedingly well. At least at that institution there is some practical endeavor to determine how the pres ent examination evils may be overcome. From the Daily Calif ornian. Primitive Ethiopia Checkmates Italian I 'ictories. Emperor Haile Selassie is ready for peace at almost any price. At any moment Italian forces will occupy Addis Ababa and the war for all practical purposes will be over, with the Ethiopians in full subjugation. Such are the optimistic reports from the llalian front. But while Mussolini states that he has Ethiopia in the palm of his hand, he must realize that, far from complele victory, his troops are in one of the critical stages of the war. Marshal Badoglio may continue his dash ing campaigns and Addis Ababa may be con quered shortly with little trouble, but the vic tory will be only a little more than psycho logical. Ethiopia, after all, is a backward country, and therefore control of its capital means little from a military standpoint. It is not the cen ter of government, commerce, communication or finance, for these are in a primitive state. Thus the capture of the capital would not par alyze the country as would, for inslance, the capture of Paris paralyze France, There would still remain the menace of native troops con ducting guerrilla raids against the invaders. These forces will have to be mopped up one by one. necessitating a long and arduous cam paign. Meanwhile, the heavy rains are only six weeks away. When the rains come, the roads pointing south to the capital will become un passable mire, for time is too short to permit construction of hard surfaced roads which can be used in any season. The supplies of food and ammunition will be cut off, and if there are any considerable number of troops ma rooned in the interior their posh ion -will in deed be critical. Further conquest would be entirely out of the question. If Mussolini persists in his intent to sub jugate the kincdom of Haile Selassie, his dif ficulties may well be just beginning. Caplure of the capital can be little more 1han a prelude to the enormously difficult and expensive piecemeal conquest. It is extremely doubtful that Italy's precarious internal economy can much longer si and the strain. Hence we can expect further art erupts on the part of Musso lini to make peace on terms which will not make him lose face at home. Minnesota Daily. 1. George was about 10 at the time. 2.

Hew Deil Tlzrbct Chop HAIRCUT 1WM O Street TAKE HID IRIP 10 STUDY TOPOGRAPHY 150 Students Go 110 Miles On Annual Excursion to Platte Valley. One hundred and fifty students, constituting the first division of economic geography 72, took their annual field trip of 110 miles Sat urday, April 23. For those stu dents who were unable to go on the trip April 23 there is to be an other conducted trip May 7. Four special Union Pacific buses were chartered. There was a study made of the dissected drift hills east of Lincoln, the alluviaVflood plains and ter races along the creeks and river vslliea, the deeply intrenched Weeping Water valley, the river phenomena and the bedrock expo sures which could be seen to good advantage. After leaving Weep ing Water the trip was directed northward to Louisville, Here the students saw the Manly loess plain and the divide between the Weep ing Water and Platte river drain age system. At Louisville the party was conducted through the Ash Grove Cement factory and the quarries. The students stu died the various processes involved in cement manufacture. Due to rain the trip to the pottery factory was eliminated. From Louisville the trip was north across Platte valley bottom to Spring-field, then west over the glacial drift and the loess mantled hills to Gretna and south to the fisheries located along the banks of the Platte river. At the state fisheries there is a small aquarium and several natural springs. The return trip was made via Ashland and Waver ly to Lincoln. During the last part of the trip the extensive terraces along Salt creek were noted and the varying phases of land utilization in respect to soil were observed. Student Pulse A recent issue of Cosmopolitan carried an article on psychological cricticisms of the methods of rais ing those much publicized babes, the wonders of the past decade, the Dionne quintuplets. Psychology critics of much renown denounced the uniform method of the up bringing of the infants on the ground that beneath the almost iiPTitir.al nhvsical characteristics of the five were five distinct dif ferent personalities that should be separated and placed in separate homes to follow their natural trend of development. I am not a psycnoiogisi or even an exceptionally bright col lege junior, but good common horse sense would tell me as it should tell you that if it would curb the natural personalities of anyone so identical as the quins to put them under a uni form pattern of living, it would be impossible for the university officials to expect six thousand students to conform to a com mon set of rules. We must have rules of course, just as the United States government must set up laws for the better wel fare of its people. But should these rules be based on a theme so staunch, so puritanical that they will be followed to the let ter by a small minority of the students. The faculty could glory in new strength and power that it has never before enjoyed if it would only give the stu dents the opportunity to give vent to the nalural hilarity and emotional responses that is their birthright, and still be within the laws of the institution. Students are cathered at the University of Nebraska from all over the United States. They come from families of every circum stance; financial, spiritual and moral. A large majority of the young folks from these families hnvp alwavs done more or less as they please, at least most of them have accumulated namus mat ai-thnur-h accented bv societv as a whole, are outside the bounds of some restriction set down by the university. It it a natural tendency tor the young plowing mind, when thwarted in its natural tenden cies to turn to the extreme to satisfy its want. Every now and then one of them is caught and punished, quite often by ex pulsion. But this is really an injustice to the student, and a distinct failure if the purpose has been to use him as an ex ample to frighten s few more into line. Although the faculty is the di rect factor in this type of govern ing, and the body that receives a larg.e part of the student criticism for it. I believe that the indirect underlying voice is the adminis tration of the city of Lincoln, and the narrow minded parents of a very small part of the students. These different groups bring pressure to bear upon the admin istration that for political reasons and reasons of self preservation can not be ignored. It is these groupB that are responsible for the petitions that are being circu lated to prevent any liquor by the drink legislation at the nert ses sion of the legislature. In the city of Lincoln a bill advocating liquor by the drink is inevitably a failure. fiew Bus Service Elkhorn Valley Stages Daily to Fremont-Oakland-West roirrt Norfolk: and Points Worth EXCURSION RATES Over the Weekend beginning Friday and ending Sunday ftJighta Sunn lwe CLV NEEEASX-VN HOTEL 230 No. 11th St. Phone B3BB8 REIMIARDT DELIVERS SPEECH AT RECREATIONAL MEETING The problem of the tremendous wastage in personality disintegration through loss of self respect resulting from whole sale unemployment in our country must lie met Ivy an adequate leisure time program on nn intelligent and constructive basis, explained James M. Reinhardt, instructor in sociology at the University in an address on "Leis- ure and Personality" before the re creational planning conference In the house of representatives cham ber Monday morning. The conference, which la spon sored by educational and child wel fare organisations of the state, is assembled for a three day meet ing for the purpose of recognising and discussing the need for a new approach to the problem of leisure time planning. "We must recognise a new def inition of leisure," Professor Rein and when it fails to pass, the so called protectors of young man and womanhood will ait back and reminisce upon the number of young souls that they have saved from perdition. Their minds can see only a brass rail around a long bar with students staggering to and fro with glasses partially filled with amber poison. What they don't see is the well equipped and lux urious barrom of 1936. These establishments that are maintained in almost all large cities are under governmental supervision are places where father meet son, partakes of luxury provided by law in an atmosphere free from the stigma of the old speakeasies and roadside taverns, and go their way in full confidence and trust in each other. Regardless of the general pinion of our elders, there are a great many drinkers on the campus, male and female. The legislature ruled that liquor might be tad by the bottle, buj provided no place for the con sumption. University control of fraternity and boarding bouses gives the student desiring to drink only the alternatives of a parked car or one of the bouses maintained on the campus or within the city by the vultures that are always ready to take advantage of the condition of depraved students. There are several houses of this sort in Lincoln where a man or a couple can go and stay as long as they wish. Rooms are provided, private if desired, in which . the student may eat, sleep, ennk ana be merry far from the eyes of the university spies. Campus social headquarters; drug stores, restaur ants, beer taverns and soda foun tains are infested by stooges to entice the young folks looking for a good time to these speakeasies where they can 3o just as they please in perfect seclusion. At a recent meeting the housemothers were berated for allowing afternoon dancing in the fraternity and sorority houses, tf this be the will of the parents of students, they should realize that such regulations im poses on these warm spring afternoons will be driving the students to road houses, hotels, and blanket parties in the coun try. Conditions such as we have have brought on the famous Ne braska Sunday afternoon picnics in activity that should give dot ing parents fruit for worry. It is my contention that the average student is law abiding, and willing to do his share to up hold the law and traditions, and conform to any rules if given a break. But the young man of twenty or twenty-one will natur ally resent a ruling that he feels is unnecessarily confining. Give him an opportunity to do a few of the things that are his right as a citizen, and he will not turn to the extreme form of entertainment. That from necessity accelerates his tempo of living and turns him out at the end of four years a perfect example of what the uni- versitv doesn't want. It is tie? genera view that if given an inch, i the student will take a mile. I dont think so. GIVE HIM A BREAK. B. K.

The Spring crop of them was sown during a hard winter and has bloomed in this changeable, rainy, cold weather. Finals are coming; and they're no help. Into the bar gain this is the season when the young man's fancy lightly turns, when Spring formals are upon us and when the end-of-the-year so rority, fraternity and collepe fes tivities are bursting nightly. The feverish co-ed leaves off studying the irregular verbs of the logical French language and ceases the destructive blowing up of oversize boxes of tissues only to prepare for her dates. She is in a bad way. With an outsize nose, watering eyes and a chapped, rough skin she feels that there is little that can be done. And she is quite wrong. To begin with, there is no need for a chapped skin. At the first sign of a cold, apply yourself to your pasteurized cream. Colds are drying: tut pasteurized cream will restore the natural oils to the skin and keep it supple and smooth. Pat it on generously over the face and throat and when re moving, leave on a thin film to protect the complexion from all outside irritants. Follow with town and country film if you have a naturally dry skin and with town and country lotion if you have a naturally oily skin. The pasteur ized cream will take care of the extra-usual dryness caused by the cold, and the town and country film and lotion will cool and soothe. It is a delightfully smooth. lasting foundation that will hold j make-up for hours despite the i most devastating "code Jd oe head." As for your eyes pet your self some eye drops and use reg ularly before going out. They wilt keep your eyes clear and bright and should be used not only when you have a cold but at all times. You take a bath every day and cleanse your face and hands miny times daily. How often do you give your eyes a bath? Believe me, the regular use ot eye drops is a habit that should be cultivated not only for the sake of beauty but also for the sake of your eyes. Now you are readv for vouj make-up. Put in on carefully, milk ing sure that you use your water proof Persian mascara sr" a whisper of iridescent eyrKhadow to produce that effecl of bewitch ing mystery.
