fells purpose
of new rules
Old maximum too high
to diffuse activities
in sufficient degree
(Continued-from Page 1.)
thoro and complete account of ac
tivity points and participation is to
be kept. Students having activity
credits will he expected to report
them to the board in room 305 of
the Union. Brewster will be in
room 305 every Thursday after
noon for the remainder of the se
mester. Separate activity cards
can be checked and brought up to
dale at that time.
May Drop Activities.
,A man is not eligible for an of
if upon taking that office, he
will be ovei pointed. If he wishes to
be officially dropped from the
Membership of some organization
so that he will not be overpointcd
he may do so before taking over
the new office.
Any student who is over pointed
is expected to remedy this situa
tion as soon as possible. The board
has the power to penalize any man
who does not keep his points at the
maximum or below.
The board feels that this new
plan will spread out and restrict
the activities so more people will
have a chance for participation. At
the same time it will lighten the
activity load of others.

Four science
use greenhouse
Attendant reveals lack
of equipment, space
By Clyde Martz.
Sapped from lack of sunlight by
overhanging palms, the great
banana tree that formerly grew
six foot leaves and bunches of
fruit, no longer having adequate
room to expand, has shrunk to half
its former size.
It's crowded position as well as
the dead and withered plants show
realistically enough the urgent
need of new greenhouse facilities
on the campus.
Built some years ago at a time
when the university had a much
smaller enrolment, the present
sunhouses far from fill the need of
the students for whom they are
needed. According to a statement
made by Max Schnittler, care
taker, houses three times the size
of the present structure would yet
be inadequate. In addition to the
botany students for whom the
buildings were built, biology, bac
teriology, and agronomy students
have been performing experiments
there for the last few years.
Partitions Have Been Removed.
In an effort to provide added
room, the partitions which for
merly separated the houses into
divisions, each adapted to the
growth of particular types of vege
tation, have been removed and
stands and tables widened. Tho
some additional room has been
thus acquired, it has been at the
cost of greenhouse necessities.
No longer are particular plants
given their climatic conditions, but
all are crowded together in the
same rooms, none growing or

Bhould. Tables are now too large
to use advantageously, It being
almost impossible to reach the
back portions to trim and prune
plants which have been pushed
back into the corners.
Ferns hang over the sides and
are brushed and broken by passing
people in the narrow confines of
the room. In places the plants arc
growing so close together that it
is impossible for a person to pass
unless he pushes the dead foliage
out of the way.
Tho work is being done con
stantly in some portions of the
buildings, it is impossible to per
form experiments properly in such
close quarters. Many portions of
the floor are so densely shaded by
overgrowing plant life that at
tempts to get satisfactory results
must either be done at the expense
of other growths or hindered In

Attendant Makes Changes.
Efforts have been made again
and again to create an interest in
the dire need of the botany stu
dents. But the call is apparently

Mr. Schnittler.
The greenhouses, like many

campus have been wholly neglect

Officers lecture here
today and tomorrow;
talks open to public
In an effort to find university
students for their new uir training
extension program. Lieut. L. M.
Kreiger and a staff of three men
from the U. S. Naval Training Re
serves will hold a series of lectures
and interviews here today and to
morrow. A moving picture depicting the
Naval Reserve's training course
will be shown by a member of lh
staff this morning, in Nebraska
hall at 10:30, while a lecture is
scheduled for Temple theater in
the afternoon. Lieutenant Kreiger
and his men will interview and
examine students who might; be in
terested in making application for
this training Friday and Saturday
when they are not holding discus
sions. The Navy department's plan
includes one year's instruction at
the Naval Air station at Pensa
cola, Fla., during which time the
student receives $75 a month plus
board and room. If, at the end of
the training period he desires to
continue with the work and is se
lected, he may be placed on active
duty with an aircraft squadron,
where he is paid $125 a month
plus expenses.
After four years of duty the
student is connected inactively
with the Naval Reserve base near
est his home. Those who complete
only one year of service are ade
quately prepared for commercial
aviation.
Students for this service are
chosen from senior students and
graduates. The lectures to be at
the university are open to all students.
changes in the various depart
ments of the school, this particu
lar building has been wholly over
looked. Yet all experimental work
in four large science divisions de
pend upon the facilities of the
greenhouse.
The university has grown up;
the dependency on this branch has
grown immensely and has expand
ed to include three other sciences.
In the opinion of those working in
this field certain provisions must
be made at once to expand the po
tentialities of the department and
bring it up to dale.

College unrest due to lack
of religion says N. Y. dean
NEW YORK, N. Y. (I.P.). Much
of the uncertainty and unrest evi
dent on many college campuses,
and in the nation at large, has
come through disregard of religion,
declared Dr. Irving H. Berg, dean
of New York university.
"In history we discover that one
of the dominating motives of all
human activity through the ages
has been man's relation to religion.
In altogether too many educational
institutions this subject is either
taboo or treated in .so trivial a
manner that one wonders if tho
students ever heard of it."
"The time has certainly come
when we should re-examine our
whole educational structure in the
light of universal human expe
rience and stop the pursuit of
knowledge merely as an end in
itself."
