JOHN HOWELL
JOHNNY HOWELL got very
confidential yesterday. Yes, the
real JOHNNY HOWELL, the foot
ball team personified, stopped
light at my typewriter and
chatted. Of course, it was mostly
a one sided conversation because
well, I was just too thrilled to
nay a word. Here was I, a mere
pill, sitting just this close to the
ONK rE:RSON who's been my
secret passion ever since my fresh
man year in high school. Now that
I write for HIS column, HE even
knows my name. Girls, it's Just
too wonderful!

Betty Rowland of the same ad

Sig Alph brothers didn't wait un

Prize crack for last Saturday's
football game goes to Paul Amen.
During the last quarter, Amen and
several Minnesota players were
cracking about piling. They had
been warned repeatedly to quit. On
one of the following plays, a Min
nesota player piled on and was
given a verbal working over by
the referee. "What is this, a tea
party?" asked the man-mountain.
"It would have been if you guys
had brought the crumpets,'' fired
the wise Amen.

THE WEATHER
The temperature and weather
remained about the same yes
terday as a low of 61 degrees
and a high of 74 was recorded
by the weather bureau. Cooler
and fair was predicted for to
day. American Museum Curator
Praises Nebraska
Collection.
Dr. Walter Granger, curator of
fossil mammals at the American
Museum of Natural History in
New York City, and a member of
the famous Roy Chapman An
drews expedition to the Gobi
desert, visited the University mu
seum Thursday. After a walk thru
the halls and a look at the various
displays, Dr. Granger pronounced
the Nebraska museum as "the"
museum between Chicago and the
Pacific coast.
The famous scientist expressed
keen interest in the discovery last
week near Broadwater, Neb., of
the world's largest camel by C. B.
Schultz, and a Nebraska party.
"You have a wonderfully fine col
lection here at Nebraska," Dr.
Granger said. "In fact it is almost !
bewildering."
Asiatic Mammal.
It was during the Gobi desert
expedition that the world's land
mammal was discovered Beiuchi
therium, a rhinoceros type of ani
mal towering 18 .feet from the
ground to the top of the shoulder.
Scientists believe that the Ba
luchitheriun was strictly an
j Asiatic mammal and that it is
; probably unlikely that its remains
will be found elsewhere.
Mrs. Granger, too, was particu
larly interested in seeing the uni
versity museum. Both Mr. and
Mrs. Granger were looking for
ward to a visit to the state capital
building later in the day.

Wayne Citizens.
Candid camera shots record
every phase of campus life, but
they've marie life an open book
at Wayne univt.iity, according to
opinions of scandalized townspeo
ple, rnotographs of coeds in the
nude aroused public sentiment to I
Uie extent that the school board I
promised an investigation.
The Investigation revealed that j
photography was being used to j
correct posture at the university. I
suojecis were masked to conceal
identity. A nurse was present. The
practice, used in most universities
in connection with corrective gym
nasium, has heretofore been sub
ject to no comment. As a matter of
fact, beyond thp participating per
sons, few people have known of the
practice.
Suggestions from one of the
board members was that "fluoro
scopic examination." in place of j
the photographic, be used. He I
thus would avoid "embarrass- i
ment."
Such photography, says Dr. Mar
garet Bell, head of the women's
health service at the University of
Michigan, is "routine" at virtually
all colleges. "However." she adds,
" thesilhouette system is used,
with screens.'

'Would England's Parliamentary
System Work in United States?"
Yes Savs Dr. II. V. Scluunale
Eoth the United States and Eng
land have faced grave constitu
tional crises this year. King Ed
ward VIII was forced to abdicate
to satisfy the dictates of his' heart
and marry American Wallie Simp
son: nolitical lenders rieeldml iha
alternatives for the king, In the
United States President Franklin
D. Roosevelt Inaugurated a cam
paign to force the sup-eme court
to bow to the will of congress and
of the president, a fundamental
change in American government.
Would the parliamentary sys
tem of government as exemplified
by England work in the United
States? The British parliamen
tary, or cabinet, system differs
greatly from the presidential, or
American, system with its popu
larly elected congress and presi
dent, and appointed supreme oourt
with the power of judicial review.
The British cabinet system is
based on one powerful elected
house from which the cabinet and
prime minister Is selected. While
American elections come at speci
fied times, British elections may
come at any time the house re
fuses to support the cabinet, or at
any time the cabinet wishes to "go
to the country." The cabinet sys
tem functions most smoothly when
there are but two strong parties
In the field. In nrnetirp the Rrlt.
ish cabinet dominates the house
or commons thruout its existence
and acts of the house of mmmnm
can not be declared unconstitu
tional by British courts.
England's System Would Work.
In answer to the question, Prof.
K. V. Schumate, new political sci
ence professor, declared! "T ml.
mire the cabinet system as it is
iuncuoning in England today, and
believe that a modified form of
parliamentary irovernm.Mif wmi,i
work very satisfactorily rfcre in
me unued states. However, a
new svstem must he intmriniwt
gradually, a portion at a time,
over a long period or years. You
can not suddenly transplant an
entire governmental Institution
from its old environment into a
new environment and expect it to
take root."
Prof. Shumate who is replacing
Prof. Harold Stoke
that the heterogeniety of the Am
erican population would prevent
the proper functioning of the cabi
net system. Parliamentary govern
ment works most successfully
where the two party system flour
ishes and in America, despite its
heterogenous population, there
are only two major parties. Feder

alism need not be lost under the
cabinet system for Parliamentary
government does not necessarily
imply a unity system. For instance
Canada, with the cabinet system
has also Its provincial govern
ments. No Government Alteration.
"Would the absence of judicial
review, now exercized by the su
preme court, aliow the national
government to encroach upon the
American liberties or upon the
state governments? The trend is
toward greater centralization even
with the supreme court. But is
there any reason to expect the su
preme court to be more impartial
than congress or the president? It
too is an agency of the national
government. The same kind of men
are in the president's chair and In
congress as are on the supreme
court bench, so there is no rea
son to suppose that congress and
the president, or Prime Minister in
the cabinet system, would scale the
heights of absurdity If there were
no court to restrain them. The
course of American government,
as I see it, would not be greatly
altered If the powers of the court
were restricted and the powers of
the president and congress ex
panded." Parliamentary government Is
often criticized for giving the cab
Inct a strangle hold on the gov
ernment. If the cabinet system had
developed indlglously In America it
would not he nbused and people,
being accustomed to it, would not
he frightened by it. Opponents of
the cabinet system also argue that
Its frequent elections would cost
too much. In answer to this point
Prof. Schumate declares that the
cost of elections to the public
treasury never has been of major
importance, but the "pinch" has
been on the party warchests which
are private funds. However, Eng
lish elections are on an average no
more frequent than American elec
tions, and the fact that they are
"snap elections," in which voting
takes place within eighteen clays
of the call for election, cuts the
long expensive campaigns to the
core.
Merit in Civil Service.
"Extension of the merit system
of civil service is very desirable
and has become almost a necessity
here in the United States. A better
system must be developed if we
wish to continue our high standard
of government. But the merit sys
tem is no more necessary in the
parliamentary than in the presi

dential system. The cabinet sys
tem would nut demoralize the
civil service."
Introduction of the cabinet sys
tem into the United Stales would
facilitate the realignment in sepa
rate parties of those people who
think alike on political questions.,
The present parties include within
their body men with widely vary
ing views. The eastern and west
ern republicans and the "bourbon"
and progressive democrats would
probably realign themselves. Also
all minority parties might gnin
some strength, Schmidt pointed
out.
England Not Democratic.
"The parliamentary system in
comparison with the presidential
system makes it more possible to
get direct mandates from the peo
ple. The government may respond
without an expression of public
opinion at the polb as did our own
congress respond to pressure
against the supreme court plan.
Whether congress was responding
to a minority or not I don't know.
In England public opinion on a
very important question can be
discovered by dissolving the house
and going to the people. However,
England is not ns democratic us
we've been led to believe as has
been shown by the King Edwnrd
Wallis Simpson affair. To the
English people this was a most Im
portant question and yet they were
not allowed to vote on the question.
The cabinet was determined not to
dissolve the hou.ve of commons so
a tight political clique, and not
the English people, decided the
greatest constitutional crisis of re
cent English history," the profes
sor concluded.
