Bel! Adds Casl of Huge Dinosaur
Fool print, Fossil Starfish Slab
To University Must inn Kxhihith
A new exhibit in the university
museum that has aroused the in
terest of visitors is the cast of a
giant dinosaur footprint which
was brought here by Frank Bell,
who recently returned to the mu
seum after a year's leave of ab
sence at the University of Texas,
where he assisted officials there in
preparing several of their new and
giant fossil mounts. Bell made the
cast from one of the better orig
inal plates, of which there were
eleven in a series. The individual
can better appreciate the size of
these ancient dinosaurs when he
realizes that this track is almost
twenty inches in length. The de
pressions made by the three giant
toes and the hoof is unusually
plain.
Brings Cretaceous Fossils.
Bell also brought back with
him many Cretaceous invertebrate
fossils, including the cast of a
starfish slab, approximately 12 by
19 inches in dimensions, which
contains about 85 starfish. The
original was found within the city
limits of Austin. Tex., about nine
years ago. Also of interest is
Bell's exogyra ponderosa, a large
oyster-like marine animal of pre
historic times.
Meade Presents Plants.
Grayson Meade, who also is a
member of the museum staff, re
cently added some valuable collec
tions to the Nebraska display.
While visiting in Chicago during
the holidays, Meade made several
trips south and west of the city to
areas abundant in fossil forma
tions. Near Kankakee he secured
several cephalopoda, prehistoric
marine animals, and also an im
portant collection of fossil plants
which he obtained in the Mazon
creek area near Chicago. The lat
ter finds plainly show the various
types of plant life common to this
country in prehistoric times. Even
the layman is able to distinguish
the different types of leaves so
clearly are teir patterns on pieces
of earth. Meade Hlso presented the
museum with many invertebrates,
including a large group of sea
shells.

Huskers Keep Conference
Slate Clean; lowans
Non-Victorious.
With the usual hot shots hot
shotting. Nebraska's biickelerrs
mauled the Iowa State Cyclones
15-3.'! in their first conference
game on the home boards. Little
Howard Baker led the bucket bri
gade with 10 tallies for the Husk
ers with Flemming doing all th
work in behalf of Coach Menze.
From the starting whistle Ne
braska proved that it was built to
fit the ten point advantage tail
ored for her before the Iowa game.
The Huskers hoarded the ball for
over two minutes before the in
vaders so much as caressed the
cover. The win virtually sets the
Huskers in a convenient position
to shoot at the Big Six crown.
Oklahoma, Monday's opponent and
Nebraska are the only teams left
in the loop undefeated.
Baker, Amen O. K.
Baker and Amen, the two newly
born forwards were again the ap
ple of Coach Browne's eye as they
tore around the foe for clever
manipulations with the greatest of
ease. Parsons played his usual
steady ball with a bit more stress
on the defense. Ebaugh had a
tough t ime on shots but did tricks
with the agale as did the lanky
Sorensen.
Play opened with Sorensen cash
ing in on a gratis flip only to be
smothered by little Roschlau, who
started like' a blazing shanty.
Again Big Harry tallied, this time
from the field giving the Husk
ers the lead which they never re
linquished. Parsons and Baker

IJacleriolotsv Class Sees Film
Slory of Fighl Against Syphilis:
Oilier Showings May Btf Plannrd
"Syphilis is a disease, not a dis
grace." With that watchword, the Amer
ican Social HyRiene association
sponsored the first showing on the
Nebraska campus of a thirty
minute sound picture publicizing
the nation-wide campaign to cur
tail the 100,000 deaths annually
in this country by syphilis.
Over one hundred members of
Dr. G. L. Peltier's bacteriology
class saw the picture, and then
fired questions at Dr. M. F. Arn
holt, city health superintendent,
for the remainder of the hour.
"Our attitude toward syphilis,"
Dr. Arnholt told the class, "has
been that of the ostrich who sticks
his head in the sand and says,
"you don't see me. If ever a little
wholesome daylight was needed,
its on this problem."
May Arrange Other Showings.
Organized campus groups may
secure a showing of the picture
by calling Dr. Arnholt or the
Daily Nebraskan. "We are anx
ious to show this film to as many
students as possible," Dr. Arnholt
declared, "and wc must ask only
one requirement - that there Ik at
least forty in the group.''
Captioned "For All Our Sakes."
the picture was written and pro
duced by Ralph Rushmot e, of I lie
association, which is directing the
drive from its Rockefeller Center
offices. Film slides, accompanied
by recorded narrative. unfolded
the history of the fight since Hie
syphilis spirochete was first dis
covered in 1905, and the first ef
fective treatment in 1910.
Paralleling the advances madts
in the treatment of tuberculosis,
cases have been reduced to one
twelfth of their number from
1903. Today, according to the au
thorities who supplied facts for
the picture, 6,500.000 men. women,
and children, or one in every
twenty of our population, are in
fected at some time during their
lives. Dr. Arnhold supplemented
the picture with statistics for Lin
coln, stating that there are four
thousand cases in the city, but
only 600 of them under treatment.
Upon this discrepancy between
actual cases and cases under
