under-graduate certain attractions
not to be found at smaller
schools." Mr. Nesbitt commented.
The French instructor is im
pressed by the fact that altho

at the same time undertaking to

all over Nebraska and adjoining
states," Mills outlined plans for

by Bob Martz. The campaign will

Levin, secretary of the Innocents
society. "Every student should co

they are turkey feathers) are not

10 MANAGE
BUSINESS STAFF
Lack of Student Manager
May Mean Death of
Magazine.
For the first time in its history,
"Prairie Schooner." the univer
sity's foremost literary publica
tion, and one of the most widely
read magazines of its kind In the
country, may be forced to suspend
publication if a business manager
cannot be obtained quickly. The
situation is becoming alarming,
says Ur. L. C. Wimberly, editor
and director of the quarterly.
"The first issue is due in Novem
ber and to date all calls for a man
to take over the business side of
the enterprise have been futile,"
he stated. "This is the first time
we have ever been so late in fill
ing assignments."
Dr. Wimberly is unable to care
for his teaching load, supervise
the "ditorial work of "Prairie
Schooner" and at the same time
attend to business matters. Stu
dents have handled the affairs of
the latter office since the publica
tion was started. The past several
years hav found the magazine
growing in national favor. Each
issue finds more and more arti
cles within its pages being re
printed by the country's best
known literary publications.
Should the publication be dis
continued for lack of a student
business manager faculty mem
bers and followers thruout the
middle west will miss the many
new and refreshing articles that
it featured.

Membership of the Home Ec

swell to well over 100 at the end
of a three-day drive, Oct. 5, 6, and

asked to consider membership in
this organization, as many worth
while projects are undertaken,
and it gives opportunity to
broaden one's views in the field
of Home Economics," stated
Frances Schmidt, vice president
and member of the committee in
charge of the drive.
A booth will be stationed on
second floor of the Home Ec
building, during the drive, to al
low girls to sign up or member
ship. The fee is thirty-five cents.

the association has a student loan
fund for the benefit of Home Ec
girls.
The committee in charge of the
drive is as follows: Frances
Schmidt, Lois Giles, Ruth Bauder,

Police Select Orchid
Of Office; Indian,
Climax Colorful
A pale and beautiful orchid is
the shade of paint chosen by the
night watchman to decorate the
walls of the campus police office.
Sergeant L. C. Regler, head of
the university police, had no hand
in the selection of the paint, but
he looks at the glowing
walls about him, with the flower
design stenciled just below the
ceiling, and remarks philosophical
ly that the effect is cheerful.
Against the delicate lavendar
background, two large calendars
are hung. On one of them is an
Indian, of majestic proportions,
dressed in a cream Indian suit,
that harmonizes with the new
cream paint on the cabinet.
Also hung upon the orchid walls
are charts of finger prints, and
numerous pictures of "wanted"
criminals. The pictures bear cap
tions of "college prowler." "shop
lifter," "card shark," and "bank
robber." The titles make some
very fine distinctions, as when
one man is labeled "check forger"

F
FIELD OF ACTIVITIES
Presidents of Major Campus
Organizations Address
New Students.
Introducing freshman women
to a wide field of activities which
are open to them on the university
campus, Miss Amanda Heppner,
dean of women, addressed a con
vocation in their honor Thursday,
at the Temple theater. She em
phasized the danger of a closed
mind in a student's development.
"Height is as important as
breadth in your growth, and emo
tional depth is not to be neglect
ed," she continued. "Devote your
selves to reading good literature
poetry as well as prose. See worth
while plays and become interested
in the fine arts." Miss Heppner
further emphasized concentration
in studies and told of the problems
which the new girls will meet and
how to face them.
Jean Walt Presides.
Jean Walt, president of Mortar
Board, senior women's honorary,
presided at the convocation, and
explained the history and purposes
of the Mortar Board. "Mortar

A notice on the bulletin board
inquires plaintively: "Why in the
hell don't you farmers learn to
park. As scarce as parking space
is and still you park like this.
Get out and look at the way you
parked." The notice, Regler
claims, was found fastened to the
steering wheel of a parked car
during fair week.
Several jokes about police,
clipped from Collier's, rub corners
with a large placard that reads
"For when the One Great Scorer
comes to write against your
name. He writes not that you won

For Largest Number
On Record.
Twenty-two freshmen and fif-:
teen sophomores, the largest class

gineering, Professor C. S. Hamil
ton, adviser for chemical engineer
ing students, and Professor J. J
Frankforter, adviser for the
Chemical Engineering society.
gave talks. Dean Ferguson ad
vised the chemical engineers,
when they obtain positions after
graduation, not to be too hasty
to accept positions which on the
surface appear to be better posi
tions with some other industrial
corncern. "There are always bet
ter positions in the industrial
plant in which your are working";
he said.
Dr. Hamilton urged all chemi
cal engineers to study diligently
and work for grades. "Grades are
not everything, of course, but your
record in scholarship often goes
a long way toward securing you
a position." ;
Professor Frankforter explained'
the organization to the new mem--bers.
He also urged the chemical'
engineers to apply themselves to
their best ability. "We do not
all have the same ability. Don't
take too big a job. Be your
self!" Plans were made to have a .
meeting the first Wednesday in
each month. Features at coming'
meetings will be motion pictures
of industrial processes and speak
ers from industrial organizations. ;
