question "Resolved, that congress

Lincoln will be the first stop on
an eight debate tour thru the Mid
dle West by the California team
composed of Ray Compton and
Harry Roberts, two experienced
men in the forensics field. Comp
ton, a major in philosophy, is the
leader of the coastal school's De
bate Society, having debated for
two years in collegiate circles. His
colleague, Roberts, a major in po
licial science, is a member of the
national political science honorary

also president of the Senate, men's
debating and oratorical group.
Experienced Men.
Nebraska's team is also expe-

I Kreuger was on the varsity squad
last year and was one of the rep
4 reseiitatives who made the trip to
' the legislative assembly at Topeka
where he was chosen leader of the
independent party. Curtis is a new
addition to the squad, but is re
ported to have received much ex
perience in debating and public
eakir.g while in high school. The
negative team announces that they
' are fully prepared on the usual
phases of the question which in
l elude the objections as to cost.
I profits to employers, and dividends
to stock noiuers.
Californians' trip will take them
as far east as Chicago and south
to Texas before they return to the
coast. Besides Nebraska the main
debates they have scheduled are
with Iowa university, Chicago uni
versity, Washington university in
St. Louis, anu coumern juemouiai

V University Professors Attend
Conventions During Christmas
Vacation in All Parts of Nation
During the Christmas holidays,
many professors and instructors in
the university attended conven
tions in various parts of the coun
try, many of them-playing a pro
minent part in the proceedings of
the conventions.
Dr. J. H. Ennis, instructor of
Economics, spent his vacation at
Tama, la., and attended meetings
of the American Economics asso
ciation in Chicago.
Dr. J. M. Relnhardt, of the de
partment of sociology, delivered a
paper as part of the program of
' the conventloa of sociologists in
Chicago.
Hertzler Goes North.
Dr. J. O. Hertzler spent Christ
mas in Milwaukee, and also repre
sented the university at the meet
ing of the American Sociological
Society in Chicago Dec. 28-30. He

All engineering departments
should elect their respective de

Engineer's week.
Morris Anderson has been
appointed by the American So

as departmental chairman,
"Until other student socie

SEATON USES PWA
F
Workers Finish First Leg
Of Sidewalk Building
During Holidays.
Much was accomplished toward
needed campus improvements
when PWA funds and laborers
were utilized during the recent va
cation for construction of several
sidewalks connecting various uni
versity buildings, Operating Super
intendent L. F. Seaton announced
yesterday.
"These sidewalks have long been
a real need to accommodate the
crowds of students passing from
hiiiiriino- to huildiner between
classes every hour of the day,"
Seaton declared. "This work only
completes the first part of our
program; several other walks and
improvements will be postponed
until the spring when it is not so
cold and the ground is softer."
Work that will be finished this
week includes a sidewalk six feet
wide from Pharmacy hall to Me
morial hall, and beside Memorial
hall to University hall; a five foot
walk across the entire west end of
the lot between Morrill and Bessey
halls and a semi-circlular walk
meeting a new ten foot stairway
which is on a line with the walk
cutting the maul and leading to
the coliseum; a four foot wide side
walk running along the curb in
front of the coliseum from 12th to
14th streets; and grading and im
proving the cinder road which
winds around the north side of the
stadium.
Along with the eight foot side
walk extending along 10th street
from R to T, the above works com

Eastern Concerns Indicate
Increased Need for
Trained Men.
Another indication of the busi
ness upturn is the advance word
sent out by large eastern com
panies that more trained chemists
will be needed in 1937. According
to Dr. Fred W. Upson, dean of the
graduate school, and chairman of
the chemistry department, there
probably will not be enough qual
ified candidates this year from
Nebraska.
Several letters from eastern con
cerns notifying Nebraska officials
of the increased demand for
trained men have already been
received, while visits from com
pany representatives continue to
emphasize the same story. The
demand for skilled graduates in
chemistry will be greater than
it has been for a long time, says
Dean Upson. As an indication of
the recognized scarcity of mater
ial the Eastman Kodak company's
representative coming here soon
to interview seniors and graduate
students will mark the fourth
time that personnel men have in

MORITZ REPORTS
ALL TIME HIGH IN
TEACHERS POSTS
The statement bv Prof. R. D.
Moritz, director of the University
of Nebraska teacher placement
bureau that "we are definitely
entering upon a period of re
covery" will be good news to
students who have chosen to enter
the teaching profession and to
educators and administrators thru
out the state. In his recently com
piled report for the school year
1935-36 Professor Moritz shows
that the recovery trend is
definitely marked by the percent
age of university graduates placed
by the department.
In 1933 the bureau found em
ployment for 43 percent of its
registrants; in 1934, 63 percent; in
1935 this figure jumped to 72 per
cent and an all time high was
established this year when 74 per
cent of all students and alumni
seeking positions thru the bureau
were provided employment in the
teaching field.

arts and letters and those in the

"The two groups had much the
same feeling for each other that
engineers and lawyers on tne
campus today cherish between
them." explained Pound. "I re
member that the morning the
medical school was dedicated a
sign appeared upon University
hall, declaring in letters eight feet
high 'Cash for Stiffs.' "
Feud Leaders Bury Enemies.
At other times, according to the
dean, arts students would bottle up
the science majors in holes that
had been dug for electric light
posts on the campus and would
leave the unfortunate prisoners to
scream until help came.
"The university was young in
1884 when I was a freshman," Mr.
Pound related, "and the student
body was small. Everyone knew
everyone else. School feeling ran
high."
Class Disputes Prevalent.
A state of combat was main
tained between unaffiliated and
fraternity men for the control of
the university literary societies
and the Hesperian, forerunner of
th. Nehraskan. Other spirited dis
putes centered about freshmen and
upperclassmen. Annual contests
were held between the first year
men and the sophomores in the
southwest corner of the old cam
pus for the possession of a great
leather pie.

A well known Neorasaa or

The Tri-K club is making elab

will be 40 cents for men and 20
cents for women.
"We are now in touch with
several orchestras and entertain-c-rs
and will leave nothing undone
to secure the best possible for this
party." declared Maurice Peter
son Monday. "Nebraska students
in the past have shown that they
will patronize a party with a good
band and entertainment and we
want to assure them that they
will have such at the Friday night
party."
Union Building Will Teach Student
New Uses of Leisure Time, States
Ramsay Following Conclave Visit
Nebraska's new Student Union
building can do much to teach the
student to entertain himself, says
Ray Ramsay, alumni secretary,
who has just returned from Texas
where he attended a national con
vention of student union directors.
Says Ramsay:
"Leisure is an ii.foimal process
and cannot be met entirely by for
mal functions. Leisure cannot be
regimented. The average American
has lost the ability to entertain
himself and there are only three
things left within his power. He
can either turn on the radio, play
cards or dance." This is where the
new Union building enters the pic
ture. Noting the various trends as ex
pressed at the convention, Ramsay
found that bridge is declining in
popularity in unions. The various
activities centered about such a
student building differ in each
school, but the following are some

Ramsay also noted that all
unions are governed by boards of
directors, who usually hire tha
union building manager. At most
schools the board is composed of
seven students, two members of
the faculty, two alumni and one
member representing the adminis

unions over the country, he says,
are operated solely from the re
ceipts from student union activi
ties. In some cases student fees are
used. The new building here has
been designed so as to meet the
needs of this university and is not
