All Tin Answers
Aren't In The Hooks
In no field, perhaps, does the
theoretical versus practical train
ing argument wax quite so warm
as in the newspaper game. There
is still a very voluble old guard
that prides itself on its total lack
of any formal journalistic educa
tion. And there is an equally con
spicuous group of classroom nur
tured newsworkers in spots of
power and authority. The new
call seems to be for those with
a neat combination of experience
8 ml cla.ss journalism. And even thp
chools are coming to realize that
all newspaper knowledge can't be
dished through textbooks.
The advent of countless fe
males into this, as in any field,
has raised many interesting
questions, the solutions of which
are yet in the working-out stage.
Not so long ago two bright
young press association men un
dertook to give us the right
slant on paper work for our own
good. Among several other in
teresting things they advocated
good newspaper women being
good newspaper men. This
seemed to mean, as a Hearst
writer said of the profession in
writing of Arthur Brisbane's
death, that like all good news
papermen they "work hard and1
play gaily, sleep deeply." Most
gentlemen of the press like to
fancy themselves as awfully
goddam tough, and we chose to
imply that the enlightening two
preferred their press ladies that
way too.
Another newsworker, sports
writer at that, maintains that
women in the news game "don't
have to bo tough." True they have
to be able to "take a lot" -of
choire vcrbagc and juicy details
but the. popularly traditional hard
as nails sob sister is not the new
est success story.
Our own attitude, unschooled as
it is, is that women in any busi
ness have to be belter than male
co-workers, and it is decidedly to
their best interests to remain es
sentially women. They must be
honest about their sex, asking no
privileges or allowances for their
feminity as such, but they should
chII upon their best womanly re
sources and attributes rather than
re-casting themselves into a su
perficially masculine mould.
Women entering any field of
bread and butter earning in
competition with men ought to
be thoroughly aware that the
dear boys will be just as ruth
less to the hapless female that
stands in their road, as to a fel
low male maybe even more so.
They must accept the masculine
code of giving and asking no
quarter, and all the little points
of honor pertaining thereto.
They must expect to get ahead
on the grounds of superior
craftsmanship and refuse to re
sort to the methods of a lesser
feminine profession.
But the problem of what to do
with girl reporters or executives
or doctors, even, can never bo
magically settled, in books or col
umns or what have you. Each lit
tle career woman and her associ
ates has to work it out the hard
way of living and learning. And
ain't it awful, Mable?
Move on the Female of the Species.
The May "Science Digest" con
denses a Donald C. Peattis article
from the New York Times Maga
zine on the "Social Life of the
Ant" which exposes many facts
and follies of the tiny creatures.
The ant colony is built around the
deadly femak", whose deadliness
lies in her fertility.
Ant communities consist of at
least three castes. There is, at
the top, the queen, the only
sexually mature female save for
a small number of virgin prin
cesses, who eventually fly away
to found colonies of their own.
Then there are the males, "who
have no function In life but to
await a few moments of nuptial
flight, and then perish, useless to
the hive."
And finally there are the sterile
female workers who spend their
lives attending the queen and car
ing for the young they do not pro
duce. For the queen is naught but
a "pampered egg laying machine,"
who spends the rest of her exist
enre after a single fertilitization
laying millions of tiny eggs.
Ants are "sweet mad." They
may keep "cows" plant lice
who convert plant juices Into
weet fluids. These pets they
collect assidiously and defend fe
rociously. Or they may maintain
certain individuals of the com
munity which are fed all the
tweets the workers collect and
become living tanks of sweet
liquor.
The vices of ants are several.
One of the worst is warfare,
which may be between ants, or
with termites and bees, for they
are eager to pilfer the hard-won
treasure of other insects. Certain
rare species Indulge in slave-raiding;
some became parasitic upon
other insects or smaller ants. The
most extreme case is that of a par
asitic species of which the newly
fertilized queen moves into the
nest of larger, more industrious
ants, install themselves in the
rovnl chambers and raise children
who go forth and do the same i
thing waited upon by the invaded j
colonists, I

Coolidge Ignores Friends'

By Ed Murray.
For the last three nights Don
Coolidge, erstwhile inhabitant of
the romantic Black Hills of South
Dakota, has braved a great danger
with a calm that would do credit
to one of Tolstoy's war characters
under fire.
On being interviewed, the man

SAMUEL KLAUS HURT
WHEN R.O.T.C. TRUCK
Nebraska Sophomore Loses
Control of Army
Station Car.
Samuel Klaus, university sopho
more, was severely cut about the
face and hands late yesterday aft
ernoon when the R. O. T. C. sta
tion car which he was driving,
overturned in a ditch about five
miles northwest of the agriculture
campus. Altho the injuries are not
serious, several stitches were re
quired to close the wounds.
Witnesses who were following
close behind the car which Klaus
was driving, said that the vehicle
was traveling about 25 to 30 miles
per hour. The car suddenly swerved
to one side of the road and then
to the other and overturned. The
top of the truck was completely
demolished. Pinned in the wreck
age, the driver was slightly dazed
when he was finally pulled out by
other R. O. T. C. students.
At Maneuvers.
Six trucks of Battery C of the
field artillery had gone north of
the city to practice surveying, tel
ephoning, and truck driving. The
accident happened as the column
was driving back to the field ar
tillery building on the ag campus.
The same truck, altho Klaus was
not driving, hauled a number of
students out to the practice field,
When questioned by military of
ficials, Klaus maintained that his
hands were moist and that he was
wipine; them on his trousers when
the accident occurred. One of the
most inexperienced drivers in the
battery, it was said that the etu
dent hud learned to drive a car
just recently. When the regular
driver of the truck was occupied jn
helping load one of the other trucks
with equipment, Klaus was ordered
to drive the truck back to head
quarters. The accident occurred as
he was coming down a hill about
a quarter of a mile west of 27th
st. and about four miles north of
the Cornhusker highway. The car
finally careened into a bank on the
north side of the road.
Since military officials are still
investigating the cause of the ac
cident, no statement about the
cause of the crash can be made
until the matter has been settled
officially.

Edwards it has an all Jewish cast.
Critics declare that its star, Kath

promising young actresses of the
stage.

university in the 1933 '34 '35 years,
and was pledged to Delta Delta

Nebraska Produces World's
Most Overdressed Coeds
Pliys Kd Teacher Hays
Inappropriatcne in
Uusker- Clothes.
BY MARJORIE CHURCHILL
"Nebraska coeds are more
over-dressed than the girls of any
other campus." Such was the
rather startling statement made
recently by a physical education
instructor to a girls' gymnasium
class.
As the class listened with
varying degrees of resentment
amusement, and approbation, the
instructor proceeded to enlarge
upon the foregoing statement.
"This judgment is based upon ex
periences as a student or teacher
at Northwestern and in various
schools in Indiana, Ohio. Wyom
ing and other states. Nowhere in
the east do we find girls as elab
orately dressed as on this campus.
Here the girls appear not as tho
they were going to a class, but
as tho they were headed for a
party. In Wyoming the other
extreme is found. Fellows In the
colleges there appear always
without ties and sometimes with
out shirts."
Much of this lack of appropri
ateness in dress, she continues, is
due to the distance from the place
where the garments are designed
and produced. Wf se a pair of

Another reason for the lack, she
states, is the fact that girls here
dress more for the approval of

attractive co-eds. No opinion was
voiced, however, as to whether or
not the stimuli for this competi

she believes, manifests itself most
noticeably in the field of sports.

by Herbert Jackson, litany by
