tentative federal program calling business men where such informa

Dr. Salvemini was for many
years professor of Italian history

The division according to sex is

11 women are looking to the Stu

The Junior-Senior Prom, which
comes early in March, marks the
end of a gala formal season at the
university. Male collegians don
for the last time the starched shirt
and tails and swing out to the mu
sic of some nationally acclaimed
orchestra, or so students hope.
The outstanding event of the
evening la the colorful presenta
tion of the prom girl, who last
year was Jerry Wallace. Tne
method of selection of the honored
senior woman student will be made
soon after the newly elected prom
committee gets into action.

Phi Beta Kappa will announce
the election of a selected group of
seniors to membership at a dinner
to be held next Tuesday in the

Point board
rules on prom
candidates
Overpointed men who
get posts must drop
points within 10 days
According to Roger Cunning
ham, chairman of the Men's Activ
ity rolnt board, any male candi
date for the junior-senior prom
committee who is elected and due
to the election is overpointed, must
prepare to drop activities until he
meets the requirements set by the
board. This action must be taken
within ten days following the elec
tion.
It should be clearly understood,
he said, that this does not prevent
any person from filing for a posi
tion on the prom committee tho
he be overpointed or would be
overpointed if he were elected.
Whether or not activity points
will be counted on a semester basis
has not yet been determined, ac
cording to Harold Niemann mem
ber of the board. Football players
whose activity in the sport ceases
before the semester ends will not
be overpointed thru acquisition of
additional points during the re
malnder of the semester. Niemann
said this means that if a football
player has the maximum number
of points included in which is foot
ball, the player may still be eligl
ble for the junior-senior prom since
the election is not held until sev
eral weeks after the close of the
gridiron season.
Orr solved the problem by "de
briding" the disintegrated tissues
of the wound, removing all the
foregoing matter, packing the
wound with vaseline and sterile
gauze, and when appliying plaster.
He found the patient usually de
veloped a high temperature but
that as the plaster immobilized the
wound that is, kept him from
jarring the limbthe fracture
would knit with comparative ease.
Infection, the former faculty
member found, somehow disap
peared without any direct treat
ment or subjection to anticeptics
or drugs.
Prejudice
analyzed
at symposium
"How do they get that way
asked 150 Protestants, Catholics
and Jews of one another when they
met to discuss race and religious
prejudice with Herbert L. Seamans
yesterday in the Religious Welfare
Council-BpoiiMored symposium.
Seamans, college director of the
National Conference of Christians
and Jews, acted as chairman of a
panel discussion by five university
faculty men, Dean E. E. Taylor of
Doane college and Dean Thomas S.
Bowdern of Creihton.
With David Fellman of the po
litical science department. Sociol
ogy Prof. J. O. Herczler, C. Ber-
trand Schultz, Dr. O. H. Woerner
and G. W. Rosenlof representing
the faculty, problems in prejudice
and its threat to American dem
ocracy, were debated.
Seamans opens discussion.
Opening the argument with the
question of whether or not preju
dices arose through differences in
creed and dogma, Seamans stated
that "I am no alarmist, but this
country is full of propaganda
which is hate-exciting, and if
democracy is to continue, we must
learn to live together intelligently
and effectively."
The conversation ran something
like this:
Bowdern: The Jews in my class
at Creighton can't see a speck of
difference between the creeds of
the various Protestant church
groups. They can't see why the
Protestants don t get together.
Taylor: Did you ask the Protes
tants about it?
Bowdern: Most of the Proles
tant undergraduates honestly ad
mitted they didn't know anything
about it
Woerner: If all the Protestant
churches banded together, three
fourths of the ministers would be
out of a job.
Bowdern: Oh no, they could go
Into social work.
Hertiler: As a sociologist, I ea
say that their salary would remala
about the same. As for the socio-
