Marburg reviews
Sombart book
Economica holds final
session tonight j
Theodore Marburg, instructor in 1
econrmics and a student in the
field of capitalism, will discuss as
pects of Werner Sombart's ' Mod- j
em Capitalism' at the closing'
meeting of Economica, economics
faculty club, in the Union faculty
lounge this evening.
Citing the historical background
to economics, Marburg plans to
explain Sombart's theory of a
practical approach to the study
of the subject. "Sombart," Mar
burg declares, "is trying to give
a systematic presentation of his
tory, believing that economic
theory divorced from the study of
actual events is meaningless.
Attending the meeting will be
instructors from the city faculty,
the agricultural campus andWes
leyan; and graduate students in
economics on the city campus.
With C O. Swayzee. head of the
club, presiding, the instructors will
discuss the views presented by
Marburg.

0. S. Bare predicts
hopper scourge
Entomologist says '39
insect crop hatching
Warning that Nebraska's 1939
grasshopper "crop" is just begin
ning to hatch was sounded
by O. S. Bare, extension ent
omologist at the ag college. An-
other week of favorable weather,
he pointed out, will permit the an
nual insect scourge to be in full-
sway.
Two species of the hoppers, mi
gratory and striped, are hatching
out in light and dry soils and in
protected locations.
"Most counties will not need to
do any poisoning before May 20
but we must be prepared to start
control operations as soon as the
need arises." Bate sail. With the
hopper hatching starting, the state
leader in the grasshopper in the
control campaign said that plans
are now complete for combatting
the pests. There is enough federal
poison to start the season's ac
tivity in three-fourths of Nebras
ka's counties and orders were
placed late last week for 22. more
carloads.
Collegians favor McNutt
over Dewey in White House
AUSTIN, Texas, May 9.
American college youth picked a
new number one presidential' pos
sibility in their own poll, the
Student Opinion Surveys of
America. He is Democrat Paul V.
McNutt, 48-year-old high comis
sioner to the Phillipines and for
mer college professor, whose
White House boom has been one
of the first to get under way.
Running a close second in the
favor of the nearly one and a half
million college students was the
even more youthful Thomas E.
Dewey, the 37-year-old Repu
blican district attorney of New
York.
A striking peculiarity of col
lege youth's habits discovered
in this survey is the fact that
not only do Republican students
often favor Democratic candi
dates and vice versa, but nearly
a third claim no allegiance
whatever to either of the major
parties. Of that third only very
few declared themselves prefer
ring any party.
Using the question, "If Roose-
Claudine Burt presents

Claudine Burt, senior in the de
partment of speech, will present
her senior dramatic recital tomor

arrangement of J. Hartley Man
ners "Peg 'O My Heart." The re
cital is open to the public. There
is no admission charge.
velt is not a candidate in 1940,
whom would you like to see
elected president?" interviewers
for the surveys queried a cross
section of the nation's collegiate
population which included students
of all age, sex, study, geogra
phical and political groupings.
Making no separation of Repu
blican, Democratic or independent
students, the survey lists the fol
lowing as leading choices for the
1940 elections:
1. Paul V. McNutt (D)...17.7
2. Thomas E. Dewey (R)..15.6
3. John N. Garner (D)....9.7
4. Cordell Hull (D) 8.3
5. Fiorello La Guardia (R).4.5
6. Arthur H. Vandenberg (R)
3.8"
7. Robert' Taft (R) . .2.2
8. William Borah (R) 2.1
9. Harry L. Hopkins (D)...1.3
10. Phil La Follette (Prog). .1.1
All others and undecided 33
Communist Earl Browder was
mentioned by only 0.28 per cent,
and Socialist Norman Thomas but
by 0.39 per cent.
The popularity of the former
Indiana governor with American
college students may be attri
buted to several factors, (1) his
supporters have started a boom
calling him a "conservative liber
al," which happens to be in keep
ing with the collegiate sentiment
that has been shown in other
surveys, (2) McNutt forces have
been among the first actively to
bid for support, and (3) he has
been affiliated with education as
a professor and dean of the Indi
ana university law school.
