His 11 o'clock in Sosh 101 is populated way to the back of the huge room. Indeed it is a sort of standing joke about relaying the lecture infor mation from the front section tc the back room. And so Monday Dock Kosman appeared in class with a huge megaphone for the teacher. Dr. Arndt, however, waved the amplifying aid aside and suggested Mr. Kosman use the megaphone for an ear trum pet. We've held off . as long hs we ran. Every once in a while we must talk about our pal Max Schnitter. greenhouse caretaker. He hailed us from amid the soil testing experiments, and we called on the orchids. The lovely blossoms of the Filipino variety, are smaller than the common corsage specie, and grow in multi-flower sprays of the palest orchid shade. They were minus the hot housey look which we loathe in the splashy florist's specimens. But of course. Max must show off his cacti and the orange and banana trees, and exhibit the nu merous plant tests of Dr. Weaver. Stalks of sorghum soared to the ceiling" in some sort of a root ex periment Max says Dr. Weaver is "long on roots." But even t lie learned botanist can't control the growings of nature entirely. For mysteriously shrouded in canvas were sun flower plants which were covered to "hold them back" until Saturday, at which date those of his students unable to work with tl-m last week will have a chance. Dean Le Rossignol startled his class on socialism not so long ago by chortling of Wife Behead er Henry VIM, "He certainly was a blue bird." The same gentle man was warned by Dr. Arndt that he returned from his leave of absence too late; Arndt had just finished the last of his Christmas presents from his stu dents. Once we asked Steve Wimberly to approve a quotation of his father's, after having seemingly misconstrued a former statement He replied sagely, "I never quote anyone." So we shall merely say than an English instructor uttered words "to the effect" that gram marification of picturesque speech tended to lemove its picturesque ness. Coirect language from col loquial tongues is a thing to be mourned. The King's English ill becomes the speech of a farmer. The "Readers Digest" reprints an article on "The King's Eng lish." Using the dramatic parallel columns device, the writer com pares the text of Edward's moving (Continued on Page 3. t ROSENLOF TELLS YWCA Of PEACE EXPERIMENT Describes Functions Three Million Dollar Student House. of At a cost of three million dollars J.

"To learn something of the cus toms and traditions of each coun try a weekly Sunday night supper is held. Mr. Rosenlof said. "De bates between students are also featured at these suppers."

Hopes that the senior class of future years can have some part in the Junior-Senior prom and can set aside a Senior day in which all the classmen can get together and acquaint themselves, were expressed as the committee in charge of class organization met last evening. "The committee feels that the class can have some worthwhile goal. At the present time the seniors are not organized and consequently are not able to do their share and have a part in campus life," Floyd Baker, presi dent of the class, stated. To Draw Up Charter. The only event that the seniors are supposed to have a part in at the present time. Baker pointed out. is the Junior-Senior prom. Today, however, the prom com mittee is composed entirely of juniors and therefore cannot justly be called a Junior-Senior event. Committee members will contact the faculty this week in order to gain support and advice on the class organization. At the meet ing of the organization committee next week a faculty advisor will be obtained to meet with the com mittee and advise them. Also to be contacted is the Student Council.

That the Innocents Society will elect the Corn' Cob president in accordance with the charter for mulated by the reorganization committee of the men's pep club was decided by the senior men's society late Monday evening.

If 13 Innocents are tap ped this spring, vote for the Corn Cob head will be cast by 26 In nocents. Advise Mandatory Attendance The attendance provision of the revised constitution was proposed by the Innocents to be made man datory at every regular function.

ENGINEERING JUNIOR Milton Mohr to Illustrate Talk With Negative, Plates, Samples. Milton E. Mohr, electrical en gineering junior, will discuss "The Art of Photo Engraving" before members of the Nebraska chapter of the American Institute of Elec trical Engineers in mechanical engineering hall, room 206, at 7:30 tonight.

Mohr. who has been connected with the photo engraving business for 30 years. Mr. Mohr has had an important part in the production of many of the notable photo en gravings of the Alltone Engraving company of Milwaukee, Wiscon sin. In addition to this talk outlining the technical details of the process, the younger Mohr will show plates, negatives, samples illustrating various steps in the work, and also some lantern slides which he has made from technical litera ture loaned by his father.

Otherwise, for all prac tical purposes, they are lost. This involves cataloguing, or the pro cess of assigning books to a defin ite place. The library uses a scheme for grouping books to gether called the Dewey decimal classification. It divides all knowledge into broad general classes and through the decimal expansion permits groupings into small particular branches of learn ing. Card Catalogue Important. In a collection of this size there are approximately 300,000 volumes in the library the classi fication is detailed, and it is ne cessary to depend on the card catalogue to locate books (of that more later). For instance, books on the federal supreme court have the classification number 353.5. The order of the books within this class is determined by a second number which is a combination of the first letter of the author's name .and numbers. The ar rangement is essentially alphabeti cal. Let us say, for example, that one bock on the court Is by Muller and one by M3rers. Their num bers are 353.5 M91 and 353.5 M99 respectively. They stand In that order on the shelves.

INTERNATiOmClUB Fl Newcomer to Husker Faculty Tells of Situation in Native Country. Speaking on the topic of "Poli tics in Europe," Jean Tiche, in structor in the department of ro mance languages, addressed mem bers of the International Relations club in the Temple last evening. A new member of the Nebraska faulty this year, Mr. Tilche came to the United States last Septem ber. "One can not maintain that the political situation in Europe can be confined within the boundaries of any individual country," Mr. Tilche pointed out. "Unlike the conditions in the United States where there are about 125 million people speaking the same lang uage and having organized politi cal parties, political problems of Europe are international in their scope." Discussing most the political situation in France, his native country, Mr. Tilche maintained that political conditions within any European country are affected as much by conditions in other coun tries as they are by forces within the countr3' itself. It is undoubtedly one of the faults of the League of Nations that the people of all na tions are considered the same in respect to their customs, ideals, and political organization, the lan guage instructor pointed out. The meeting was a regular meeting of the organization and was under the direction of Howard Wuerth. chairman of the executive committee.

Campus political factions will face the beginnings of possible modification or abolition this aft ernoon when members of the Stu dent Council convene at their reg ular meeting within the walls of old University hall. The council will vote on one or both of the pro posals which were presented at the last 'meeting. The modification plan or the abolition plan would take effect in the form of an amendment to the constitution of the Student Council. In the event that one of the pro posals is passed by the council with a two-thirds vote, the issue will then be put before the stu dent body. If the student vote is favorable the reform will take place immediately and will affect the spring election. If cither of the proposals do not pass the council with the required number of votes, a petition with the signatures of 100 students can force special elec tion. Levin Supports Reform. Both amendments presented hy Frank Landis, student council member, were placed in the hands of the judiciary committee of the council and were to be investi gated subject to a vote by the en tire council on March 3. "I am in favor wholeheartedly of the modified political faction reform," Arnold Levin, president of the Student Council and a mem ber of the judiciary committee, stated. "Factions should be modi fied: they will never be abolished. "Personally. I am in favor of complete abolition of all political factions," stated Frank Landis, an other member of the judiciary committee. "Complete abolition would clean up the campus polit ical situation and put an end to a great number of underhanded policies." "The modified faction plan is the most desirable," Eill Marsh, third member of the judiciary committee, commented. "We can never do away with all politics on the campus but they can be more adequately controlled. We must re member, however, that a student special election must be held be fore either issue is passed." Revision in Balloting. Either amendment, if it...picd, would revise article four, section five of the council constitution. At present the first clause provides that "election of members to the Student Council shall be by pro portional representation. Accord ing to Landis this clause is not be ing followed.
