Daily Mm miwMMtmwaniMn f .ion i HtlinVummi It's been many moons since we've had the opportunity to break Into print under full sail and a byline. But our eves have been peeled the while. We have watched our own chancellor sit solemnly through a recording of' Gertrude Stein's more eccen tric poems. We have seen Dr. Stoke denied admittance to a recent formal by a doorman who refused to believe he and his youthful wife were chaperons. Dr. Dysinger has confided that he didn't know us well enough to spring; his best Mrs. Simpson Jokes. And we've looked on with Joy as Ray Dein, whose warm brown eyes are be-ogled by all bizad women, blush prettily when his dancing partner con fided that she was going to teach her doctor father's ob stetries class. And wonders have blossomed forth on the campus. The high heel menace stretch of walk to the south of Grant Memorial has been replaced by a broad expanse of concrete. But we shall miss the low retaining wall upon which we were wont to cavort. The Sosh library is no more, and so Jean Willis and Mister Ron Douglas have their soulful tete-a-tetes in the re serve room of Main. With the moving of the stagecraft room In the Temple down a floor, speech students now have to climb fewer stairs for their study, practice, bull, gripe, and relaxation sessions. But the most startling of all It the transformation of the Awgwan office. We can remem ber the olden times of mistletoe contests and a nude art gallery, when the den was infested with everything from activity work ers to Shotgun Remington and back again, when the editor was threatened after many an issue by a crowd of hairy-chested gents with blood In their eyes, when copy was written with chairs tipped back and one leg up beside the typewriter the inspired one in shirt sleeves. And now... floor length cur tains, lamp shades for that in direct lighting effect, a radio, and a partially re-covered divan make of the reputed humor stronghold a place so luxuri ously appointed as to defy even the uttering of a full strength, full length oath. Giff. me the Good Old Days! The town is yet reverberating with talk of the lushly produced Romeo and Juliet." Shakes peare seemed a bit uneasy in his magnificent setting, however, and this fact had many unfor tunately diverting consequences. In the famous balcony scene, as lovely Juliet lowered a rope to her gallant young husband, the Lady in the Next Row Back whispered very audibly, "Don't you think they could have made a more elaborate ladder than that for a picture like this?" Now that the professors have their sluffers-stay-out-of-my-clasa speeches off their minds, and the work of the new se mester may begin, we can at last reveal the final-passing methods of some of the more prominent campus citizenry. Roy Kennedy studies occasion (Continued on rage 2.) L Class Activities to Close After Three Weeks Study of Engines. Thirty-seven engineering stu dents began yesterday the work of a three weeks short course on the operation, care, xnd maintenance of Diesel engines of automotive, stationary, and tractor types.

Raysor. chairman of the depart ment of English at the University of Nebraska, who has recorded her find in American Speech, na garment on the market today goes tional linguistic Journal, a new under the trade name "Maculette." Apparently, she says, this is based on the adjective "Immaculate," which has been given a French feminine suffix and has been shortened by some one who did not know, or thought that most customers would not know, that removing the negative prefix re verses the meaning of the word, so that If "Maculette" means any thing it means spotty.

PLACEMENT FOR '36 ENGINEERING CLASS TO .96 MARK Dean Fergustn Predicts Early Emplcyment of June Graduates. Judging from the number of engineering college graduates of the university who have received positions during the past year, the depression is almost a thing of the past if Increased demands for la bor can be interpreted as a true criterion of business conditions. According to Dean O. J. Fergu son, dean of the engineering col lege, 96 percent of all the gradu ating seniors in 1936 were placed in engineering positions, while practically all of the January graduates this year have accepted similar positions over the country. The few who have not are expected to be employed within the next few weeks. Specialized Fields Open. There were more inquiries from employers tais semester than there were "qualified students. In addi tion, students this year are better able to secure employment in the fields in which they are specialized, a condition which did not exist a few years back. Also indicative of the business upturn Is the num ber of high scholastically ranking engineers who have been able to better their positions recently. The following figures show the effects of the depression on the annual demand for college trained engineers: In 1931, 70 percent of the graduating engineers at the university were placed in engin eering positions; in 1932, only 50 percent; and 3933, 60 percent; while in 1934 only 48 percent of the group found engineering jobs. The average for these four years was 57 percent. Beginning last year and con tinuing thru this first semester, there was a -noticahle pickup in the number of manufacturing and industrial representatives inter viewing seniors on the campus.

Without the customary pomp and ceremony that accompanies graduation. 142 students were awarded degrees from the various colleges and departments of the university, at the annual mid-year graduation following the fall term. The present figure varies only slightlv from that of the same time last year when 133 accepted degrees. Of the 142 graduates, four were honored with doctor's degrees, and ten received master's awards. Frederick W. Albertson of Hays, Kas., wrote his botanical thesis on "The Ecology of the Mixed Prairie in West Central Kansas." and Jos eph Kramer, of Lincoln, studied "The Relative Efficiency of Roots and Tops of Plants in Protecting the Soil from Erosion," to receive the two doctor's degrees awarded by the botany department. John R. Johnson of Wayne, who majored in history, wrote his paper on "Ne braska in the Spanish-American War and the Philippine Insurrec tionA Study of Imperialism." Majoring in the field of secondary education, Glenn O.

Two new courses, one each in the colleges of engineering and busi nes sadministration, got under way yesterday with the opening of the second semester. A special stuJy in the making of iron and steel is be ing added to the engineering cur riculum and one in industrial rela tions to that of the business school. Prof. W. F. Weiland of the me chanical engineering faculty in troduces the course treating the manufacture of iron and steel. Having taught metallography, which is a microscopic study of metals, and another course on treatment of steel, he intends to complete a theme hinging on thoro analysis of steel from its unre fined state in the ground to Its ultimate milling. The present phase of the study will deal with steel making, in cluding appraisal of ores and vari ous steel making processes, the shaping of steel in the mills, wherein will be shown how steel is prepared for rolling, how it is milled and to the various uses the produce can be converted, and lastly, the thermal treating of steels incidental to shaping. This new study In the depart ment of mechanical engineering is the only addition to the college of engineering's curriculum for the forthcoming semester. Industrial Relations Clais. Dr. Cleon O. Swayzee, associate professor of personnel manage ment, is offering the new course on industrial relations. This course deals with the prosecution and set tlement of labor disputes, and in cludes a discussion of economic and legal analvsr-s of labor and employer association activities and will tike up problems of collective bargaining and trade agreements. Dr. Swavzee is an expert in the field, having been a government representative two summers ago j rjithurp.h steel plants, the rub- nvest igating larior proniems in inc ber plants at Akron and In the laree nainl and aluminum com panies in the east. Ret ently he pub lished a book dealing with con tempt proceedings in labor injunc tion suits. This monograph was written after he hHd studied more than 100 labor contempt actions tn New York courts.

Bernie Cummins and his four teen piece sophisticated-rhytthm orchestra are traveling directly from th efamous Mark Hopkins hotel in San Francisco to furnish the swing music at the annual Inter-Fraternity ball in the coli seum Saturday evening, Feb. 6. Featuring his younger brother, Walter, a singer, and a female trio known as "The Sophisticates," Cummins' orchestra will spend his only evening in the vicinity of Lin coln playing for the ball, and will continue then to Cincinnati where he has been hired for an indefinite stay at the Gibson hotel. Announcement of the orchestra was made official Monday after noon by Lloyd Friedman, presi dent of the Inter-Fraternity Coun cil, and by Man-in Romig, general chairman in charge of the ball. All-Campus Party. Romig declared that he wished the entire campus to understand that "the Inter-fraternity ball is for all members of the university and not just for those who are members of various fraternities And sororities. The fact that it is a closed night proves that it is an all-campus function held for the benefit of all students." During his years as one of the leading baton wavers of the coun try, Cummins has directed his or chestra at such famous hotels as the Edgewater Beach in Chicago, the Roosevelt In New York, the Belleview-Biltmore in Belleair, Fla., and the New Yorker in New York City, where he was selected from 57 other orchestras for the privilege of attending its formal opening. Altho his parents were both ex tremely talented musically, young Cummins' ambitions at the time of his high school graduation were to be an All-American football player in one of Knute Rockne's famous Notre Dame teams, and subsequently to attain renown as an architect. Both goals were de prived him, however, when the family budget could not be stretch ed to allow him to enroll in a uni versity. Designs Night Club. He did eventually draw plans for just such a structure as had been his school day desires when a Cincinnati business man followed out his suggestions in building Castle Farms, now recognized as one of the leading dance rendez vous of the country. It was shortly after he had graduated from high school in Ak ron, that Cummins made his debut at the head of bis own or chestra. After touring his home state for a short time, he was re ceived with such approval that the Belleview-Biltmore hotel decided to give him his first break in the music world and signed his orches tra for a complete season. It was following this successful engage ment that he was leased by the New Yorker hotel. Arrangements for the affair are i n the hands of six one-man com mittees: G.-r.eral arrangements, Marvin Romig; orchestra, Hugh Eisenhart; tickets, Don Wiemer; chaperons, Frank Landis; publi city, Bob Hutton; decorations, Howard Fischer. Former Nebraska Professor Succumbs After Short Sickness.
