"Our population, war or no war, birth control or no birth control, is increasing: and within the next fifty years the vast expanses of the north will hold a great num ber of inhabitants." Thus declared Dr. Victor K. Levine, of Creigh ton university and noted authority on the Indians and Eskimos of the Arctic regions, as he spoke before the second meeting of the Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary scholas tic fraternity, at the University club last evening. Dr. Levine, who has twice headed government research expe ditions into the Arctic regions, and as he puts) it "will go back every summer until he visits every vill age of those regions." has col lected very valuable data concern ing the habits, living conditions, and health conditions of the North ern tribes. From these observa tions and experiences which he has bad in those remote sections, he formed hi3 address on the "Medi cal Adventures in the Land of the Kskimos." By the use of pictures and slides, Dr. Levine presented material in his lecture which has probably never before been un covered. Civilization Getting Stale. "Our civilization is becoming stale and our pioneer spirit is dis appearing, but in Alaska that pio neer spirit still exists. When one comes back from these regions he is completely transformed and rares nothing about some of the complexities of life. The very science of living becomes appar ent only when you travel in this ice and snow and rock," Dr. Levine stated. Interested mostly in exam ining conditions dealing with whether or not white man can live in the Arctic, the explorer main tained that "he can and will." "There is no reason why a suc cessful civilization can not be built in the Arctic." the speaker pointed out. 'In Greenland already the president has established a colony and the rlimate and soil there is very satisfactory. Sooner or later utrplnnc routes will pass over these regions because it is the shortest route between certain points. The climate is healthful, there are no parasites as there are in the tropi cal zones, there can be fast trans portation from the main part of the United States, and many plants and animals of our climate can live just as well in the Artie re gions.

Audience to Judge Winners. Judging of most entertaining skits will be left entirely to the judgment of the audience, Bob Shellenberg, Klub president, an nounced. "Since we are presenting this show for the benefit of the spectators, we feel that they will prove to be the best judges we could select," Shellenberg de clared. "At the close of the show, Ray Ramf-ay will announce each skit and identify in his own in imitable fashion which will be fol lowed by a request that the au dience show its appreciation of the act bv applause."

"All acts that will need music accompiainments must be reported to Eddie Jungbluth prior to the night of the dress rehealsal so the necessary arrangements can be made. Since an extra skit has been added to this year's program and the unusual presentation of the Nebraska Sweetheart may prove to be a little longer than usual, skit masters are urged by the Klub to make an absolute check (Continued from Page 2.)

Crawford told the pub lic school forum at the McKinley school Monday afternoon. "It has simply come out into the open. Propaganda or concerted and defi nite effort to remake our thought or to save us from thinking our selves has suddenly burst into view like a meteor. But we are better off today knowing that propaganda does exist than peo ple were a few generations ago, influenced entirely by propaganda without suspecting it to be suc'.i.

The effects achieved by this typical Japanese art are delight ful. It is interesting to note the difference between portrayals by the old masters and those in fluenced by European art. The old prints are purely oriental in subject-matter, and are character ized by the signature worked in as an integral part of the print. The works of contemporary ar tists show a distinctly European trend in choice of material, use of modernistic lines, and a more conventionalized signature. The Japanese sense of balance is no ticeable in each piece. The soft colorings of Japanese prints make them especially adapt ible for home decoration. Should anyone be interested in acquiring a print, information may be se cured thru the office or the fine arts department. r ROUBLE ARRANGING Math foe that new beclouds our state educational system. Following the conference ot high school principals and super intendents, who met in joint ses sion with university ofifcials last Saturday, other university In structors and department heads pointed out Monday the necessity of making adjustments. Mathematics Controversy. Controversy has centered so far on the question of mathematics courses. Advanced mathematics subjects are of definite benefit to high school students whether or not they use them directly, argue college instructors. Coupled with their argument that their school boards and pa trons are demanding more prac tical and less theoretical courses, prep school officials declare that previous studies have shown that a student's success in college doea not depend on the courses he took in high school. But not until simi lar studies have been made to find substitutes for the eliminated subjects will the college men con sider changes justifiable. Language Rule Debated. Sentiment of public school men was crvstallized at a recent meet ing of the Kearney district, when a resolution requested not only that I he math requirement be dis carded, but also that foreign lan guages be dropped and the pres ent requirement of nine academic units be lowered to six. The university is dictating their curriculum of high schools, it was charged in the meeting, and the present entrance requirements not only work a hardship on students, but hinder them from preparing for life. While only 20 percent of all high school graduates go on to college, the other 80 percent are compelled to take the requisite subjects which, the high school oficials feel, prevent them from taking subjects which would do tbem more good.
