SKULL 50,000 YEARS
Discovery Arouses Interest
Of Anthropologists
.-Over World.
(By College News Service)
LOS ANGELES, May 4. Dis
covery of a skull which upsets
previous assumptions that man did
not appear on the American con
tinent until after the Pleistocene
era this week had aroused wide
spread interest among anthro
pologists and scientists in general
throughout the world.
Dr. A. O. Bowden, chairman of
the anthropology department of
the University of Southern Cali
forma, believes that the skull is
definitely of late Pleistocene origin
possibly 50,000 years old, his con
elusion being directly opposed to
former theories that man did not
appear on the western hemisphere
until just before the dawn of his
tory.
The skull was found 15 feet
underground in the ancient chan-
nel of the Los Angeles river, where
a storm drain excavation intersects
the channel.
For several days the bones, dis
covered by WPA workers, were
passed from hand to hand, while
the homicide squad of the police
department actually considered in
vestigating th death of the person
whose flesh once clothed them.
Finally, however, the investigation
was placed in the hands of the
anthropologists at U. S. C.
Dr. Bowden, his opinions con
curred in by his assistant, Dr. Ivan
A. Lopatin, declared:
1. That the skull, completely
fossilized, was found in an undis
turbed clay and sand formation at
least 20,000 and probably 50,000
years old.
2. That its position indicated it
was contemporaneous witn tne
now extinct imperial mammoth
(Archidiskodon imperator), speci
mens of whose teeth weer found
1,120 feet away in the same hori
zon.
3. That the fragment is that of
Homo sapiens, an elderly female
with a cranial capacity of 1,200 to
1,300 cubic centimeters.
"These are the facts," said Dr,
Bowden. "The conclusions must
come after further study. I wi
say, however, tnat no reputaoie
scientist on the continent of Bat
rope ever has admitted the exist
ence of Pleistocene man in Amer
ica. This find definitely confutes
previous theories, and makes the
idea of man's remote migration
possibly his independent origin in
this hemisphere not so fantastic as
has been heretofore supposed. '
Dr. Bowden said that the human
fossils uncovered by the WPA
workers were contemporaneous
with such European discoveries as
the Neanderthal man.
Dr. J. E. Alexis, chairman of
the Germanics department, will
read a paper on the history of
the first quarter century of the
society for the advancement of
Scandinavian study, at the 25th
anniversary of the group at Chi
cago May 15 and 16,
tures, although the eighth, ninth,
and tenth graders gaze In awe as
the panorama of prehistoric ages
unfolds before them. On the tour
over the campus, however, the sen
iors exhibit an aloofness appar
ently born of premature wisdom,
while the lower grades eagerly ab
sorb every word the guide has to
say.
Train Brings 202.
Chartered busses, special trains,
and automobiles have brought the
"sneak-day" students to town. The
largest delegation, arriving on a
special train from Holdrege, In
cluded 202 students from that city

American Students
Relay Englishmen 's
College Impressions
A questionnaire recently sent to
a group of American students who
had spent their junior year at
Exeter college, England, brought
out some interesting Impressions
of English student life as well as
information on the English stu
dent's view of American college
life.
Apparently to the British mind
there are three great American
universities: Harvard, Yale and
Hollywood. And if you have any
doxibts as to which is greatest, just
go to the "flicks" (i. e. movies)
and see for yourself. "What Amer
ica has done to interpret her brand
of higher education to the rest of
the world has been pretty well left
to the Marx Brothers," says one
earnest youth from Brown univer
sity. Exeter college officials and
professors were unanimously voted
as just and co-operative, it we
worked hard, there was nothing
they wouldn't do for us," reports
one student from Milwaukee.
"Some of the courses which they
offered I found the best I've ever
taken."
The Hostel System was usually
set down as strict and different
from dormitories, fraternity or
sorority houses, but enabled Amer
icans to make very close friends.
Of the number of very attractive
and interesting foreign students,
the mericans like the Scandina
vians, Norwegians and Germans
best.
For the benefit of women stu
dents one American co-ed writes:
If I were advising any college
girls about a year in England, I'd
suggest they take over enough
American shoes and silk stockings
to last the whole year. Also
dresses (always excepting sport
things) are sad in Exeter and ex
pensive in London. 1 ne neia
hockcv season lasts from October
until Eaater, surprisingly enougn
and the college social life is blink
We had informal dances each Sat
urday night and each of the five
hostels glvts two dances a year,
Also there are at least two large
bails or Hostel Socials a nemestcr
No American misses any of these."

FIRS! ROUNDS OF
GREEK MEET RUN
ON SLOPPY TRACK
Sigma llus Cop Track Honors
Saturday as Rain
Pours Down.
Competing in spite of the sheets
of rain that poured into their
faces during the actual sprinting,
the Greeks staged the preliminary
rounds of their newly enlarged
track neet. Mustering thoir forces
to win or at least place in all of
the field events, Sigma Nu track
sters finished only by an olfac
tory organ ahead of the Beta
Theta Pis who splashed to points
on the spongy track in the first
day's contests. Other houses fin
ishing in the running were Alpha
Sigma Phi, Acacia, and Pi Kappa
Alpha.
Sigma Nu's grabbed off two
firsts, three seconds, and a trio
of thirds to stand in front for the
day, while the Betas pocketed two
firsts, three seconds, and only
two thirds. High in the way of
individual scoring was Haner of
the Alpha Sigma Phi clan who
played a Dionne role, competing
in almost every last event and
placing in as many. Others in the
upper strata were Whitaker of
Beta, and Thomas of Sigma Nu.
Finals Set for Monday.
The meet, already one day late,
was originally planned to be run
thru today, but lack of entries and
inclemancy of the weather forced
the officials to name Monday as
the day for the finals. Director
Rollie Horney, who was largely re
sponsible for the affair, was ab
sent from the officials stand clue to
his recent tonsilectomy in an Om
aha hospital.
Sprints on the whole were slug-
gish in their time but field events,
held under the stadium, showed
some notewortny marKS. in me
high jump the bar gradually ad
vanced rafterward until it looked
as tho the Greeks would be top
ping conference records. With four
men on five feet, four inches tne
jumps began to become strained,
Rod Thomas clearing tne last one
5, 8 and 5-8. The shotput, with the
high scoring Haner in first, fell
farthest at 36 feet 5 inches.
Plock Cops Century.
Plock of the Acacia's gave the
stop watch the least opportunity
to tick on the century dash, be
ing clocked at 10:7 to cop the first
heat.
Another medalworthy was that

MUSIC
FOOTNOTES
Heat was forgotten the usual
restless rustling hud ceased only
the sweet tones of a plaintive
Kiegle ' wore heard. Thus Cor
nelius van Vllet, celebrated Dutch
cellist, charmed his audience at
Thursday afternoon's musical con
vocation.
A program of music well suited
to display most effectively the
beauties of the 'cello was made to
balance the complex with the
simple, the somber with the gay,
and had Just the right admixture
of technical show-pieces. Of the
latter, the artist offered a "Taran
tella" by Popper, that deserving
iavoruc or 'cellists.
From MacDowcll'a Woodland
Sketches the artist played "At An
Old Trystlng Place," a love song
or exceotionai oeauty. A partial
ity to this number was Indicated
in some introductory remarks and
was quite In evidence In a stirring
rendition. "Chanson Napolitaine"
bv Cassella, a playful novelty, was
given with singular dexterity.
These are oiny a few numbein
of a program from which it would
be dilficult to choose the outstand
ing number.
Special recognition was extend
ed by the artist to FJarnest Har
rison of the university piano fac
ulty, his accompanist, for his work
In Kaempf's "Andalusiun Ser
enade." Impeccable technic and an ex
actness of pitch, which was liter
ally delicious, were added to an
exquisite musical taste to prove
that Mr. Van Vllet is one of those
ardent music lovers of whom New
York's Lawrence Gilman recently
spoke so significantly.

GLIDING RKCOMKS
COLLEGIATE SPORT
Wisconsin, Washington
Kent, Try Wings
Gliding is beginning to come into
its own as an American college
sport. With the advent of spring,
campus enthusiasts all over the
country are dusting off their mot
orless planes preparatory to look
ing up an enterprising air current.
Kent State pilots, who banded
together in 1933 and built the
world's largest glider, a two-seater
with a wing spread of 47 feet, are
hoping to get confirmation of an
unofficial world record. On one
of its 1935 flights, the ship climbed
from a standing start to 1700 feet
in one minute and one second,
carrying two men. The Kent club's
gider has made 1,000 nignts witn
out an accident.
An ambitious endurance flight
is being planned by Washington
State experts. They want to keep
a ship in the air so long the pilot
will have to be refueled with
coffee and sandwiches!
The University of Wisconsin
goes the field one better with its
glider school a one man enter
prise owned and operated by
Robert M. Lee, frshman engineer

William P. Few Advocates
Higher Tuition Fees
For Colleges.
(By ColleKe News Service.)
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., May 4
Higher tuition fees should be
charged by American colleges and
universities to weed out the sec
ond-raters" and half-educated pan
handlers and boondoggles." ac
cording: to President William P.
Few of Duke University.
Speaking at the semi-centennial
celebration of the University of
Chattanooga, Dr. Few declared
that methods should be developed
to provide a better selection of col
lege students than is at present
possible under "factory methods
of education, which he deplored.
"We ought to be trying to build
a few leaders instead of a great
horde of second-raters , he said.
Asserting that "the call now Is
not for more education, but for
better education," he warned that
"unless we can in this country
reconcile excellence and democracy
the public is doomed.
Dr. Few recommended stricter
university entrance requirements
and more intensive attention to
the promising students.
Other speakers on the program
included Dr. Charles H. Herty, re
search chemist of Savannah, Ga.,
who discovered the process for
making paper and rayon from
Southern pine.
Proposing to answer the ques
tions: "What can eduueation give
to industry?' and "Does industry
want college-trained men? ' Dr.
Dr. Herty said that "great bank
ers, great leaders of industry are
going: to Harvard and erettine; a
committee to pick out men before
they go out," he declared.
S OF LATE POETS
Cincinnati Professor Calls
Modern Verse Childish,
Infantile.
CINCINNATI, May 4. The ten
dency of some modern poets to
sacrifice communication to mere
expression, this week was called
"childish" by Dr. Frank W. Chand
lur, professor of comparative liter
ature and English at the Univer
sity of Cincinnati.
Dr. Chandler, in a paper deliv
ered here before the Modern Lan
guage Association of America, de
fined this tendency as an attempt
to talk to themselves rather than
to others, and said It was a rever
sion to the "Infantile, a sort of
second childhood".
"Some of our modern poets are
going hnrk to the "little language"
of the babbling time of the baby,
prducing rythmical sounds Just for
their own amusement. And the
question is, how soon will they
revert to the screaming time of the
craille, and who will then heed
them?"

OLYMPiG BERTHS
Innocents Here 33 Years
Dr. (Jondra Organizes Chapter in '03
Ivy day marked the 33rd anni
versary of the Innocents' society
on the university campus. Started
in 1903 by Dr. G. E. Condra, pro
fessor of industry and survey, and
three students, George Schidler,
Cliff Crooks, and Jay Fee, the or
ganization proposed to "guide uni
versity attitudes in athletics."
It was scarcely established be
fore it began to extend its activi
ties, however, and today it man
ages freshman convocation, the
sale of freshman caps, football
rallies, slogan caros, the selection
of cheer leaders, Homecoming
night party, Missouri-Nebraska
bell victory trophy and the Home
coming house decorations contest.
The society also sponsors the
annual Dad's day with its lunch
eon and special ceremony at the
following football game. The col
ored card stunt section which en
tertains spectators between halves
during football games is also an
Innocent project.
In 1932 the Innocents Inaugu
rated several new activities. They
conducted the sale of season ath
letic books, published a series of
articles on campus extra-curricular
activities, and sponsored the
organization of a freshman coun
cil to acquaint new men students
with the traditions and ideals of
the university.
The first meetings of the society
were held In the old belfry that
once adorned University hall. It
was there that the charter mem
bers In the fall of 1903 planned the
first organized cheering that Ne
braska hud and found a means to
put an end to the fighting between
the freshman and sophomore
Classen. It whs there, too, that

taken up by universities all over
the country and discarded by Ne
