THE NEBRASKAN Thursday, July 18, 1940. HJ3WJS ' Swabbing it h Paul Svoboda Having nothing better to do except study I used to go to the races at Ak-Sar-Ben. I had the darndest luck though. And just think of the horseshoes that were around, too. Even when I bet on the favorites who were low In the betting, in fact, lower than the vest buttons on a fishworm's Sunday suit I coulc- 1 win. It has been said that economy is a way of spending money without getting any fun out of it. I didn't get any fun out of it, but it sure as heck wasn't economy. I even took a rabbit's foot along one day. It didn't do any good. I'm convinced that no one should put faith in a rabbit's foot except the rabbit The best run I got for my money waa a nose to noe finish. My horse and another were fight ing it o',t for last place. Maybe it was just a coincidence that the horse I bet on was called "Eventide." The had a white horie there by the name of Nebraska, but he wasn't much good. Like the state he was showing signs of tattle tale gray. There was another horse named Opium. Gee, was he a dope! At the mutual window one day I heard a woman say, "I'd like to put two dollars on Hard biscuit's nose, if you're sure it won't hurt him." But I learned a lot of things at the races. The next time I bet my shirt on a horse, I'll know what to do to make him run, I'll leave the pins In it! Bing Crosby comes in for a lot of ribbing be cause of his slow horses, but the crooner always has a comeback. He claims he teaches his ponies sportsmanship and for that reason they always let the other horses have a head start. Yes, sir, a lot of things run into money, except the horses I bet on.

Out of harmony. "Practices of unions are out of harmony with the fundamental needs of teachers which are wil ling to prepare themselves prop erly for their work, to cultivate a high quality of work in learn ing, to practice democracy as well as preach it, and to co-operate in teacher organizations voluntarily organized," stated Dr. Werner. "Are we willing to admit that our organizations are not able to achieve prof essionalization and ask a foreign organization to come in and show us how?" Growth of workers' educational units within trade unions and in the WPA education project chal lenges public bchools for not ade quately serving the needs of work ers, averred Dr. Brameld Thurs day evening. Labor's education setup. "Organized labor has set up an education program of its own," stated Dr. Brameld, "because pub lic schools either have been in con trol of a vested interests minority not interested in the welfare of workers or because their curricula still lag behind the needs of to day." Dr. Brameld is the editor of a forthcoming ' yearbook dealing with workers' education in America to be published by the John Dewey society. He advocated drastic reconstruc tion of curricula in public schools and colleges to educate students to be workers and not merely em ployers and professional people. He suggested the creation of depart ments of workers in universities in which students would be trained to become teachers of workers and to carry on research for trade unions. "The chances of carrying on a democracy thru peaceful col lective bargaining would be greatly enhanced by thus prepar ing workers better to meet other groups on an equal plane of train ing and ability," he said.

Lane to the new alumni library which is being organized with autographed copies of pub lished books of university gradu ates. 1 Lane, graduate of the university in 1916 and now assistant general counsel of the Federal Security Agency in Washington, was one of the three members of the com mission of Special Mexican Claims. This commission was set up by Congress in 1935 for the purpose of adjusting claims of American citizens against Mexico arising out of the ten years of Mexican revolutions from about 1910 to 1920. 976 decisions. The volume, published at the commission at the end of its busi ness year, contains 976 decisions and reports which it made to the secretary of state, and in the words of Mr. Lane it constitutes a "mild contribution to interna tional law." Lane, formerly general counsel for the Air Safety Board of the Civil Aeronautics Commission, was in Lincoln in June 1936, to deliver the commencement day luncheon address as the honor member of the 20 years class. It was from such book gifts as his that the alumni association re ceived its idea of an alumni li brary, said secretary Du Teau, and a modest collection already has been built up in the two months of its official existence.

BY JOE FITZGERALD. Seventy-nine bedridd'n, be draggled geography students, in cluding three professors and their assistants, returned from a 32 hour tour of Nebraska, two hours be fore midnight Saturday. With hay in their hair, and dirt on their faces, these same 79 'vic tims of human ecology," as Pro fessor Durfee Larson, visiting teacher from Kearney Teachers college was wont to put it, stepped ungingerly from three chartered buses, and made a bee-line for home and water. Three buses full. Professor Larson, together with Dr. Bert Hudgins, Wayne univer sity, Detroit, and Professor Ralph Olson, Teachers college, Moore head, Minn., each with a bus, an assistant, and a bus full of stu dents, visited and studied bedrock at Ashland, limestone at Lousville, land formations at Council Bluffs, and residential districts in Omaha Friday after starting from Former museum 1:30. The class visited the Swift pack ing plant, and there learned the route traveled by the cattle from their incarceration to their distri bution. After spending 35 minutes in the cold storage division, ob serving the different types of meats and methods of preservation and preparation, cerese probosces were unanimously prevalent. The 79 traveled through Iowa, noting the various crops along the highway. Re-entering Nebraska at Nebraska City, they explored Ar bor Lodge, home of noted J. Ster ling Morton; then Bellevue, orig inal site of the state capitol. Continuing on to Lincoln, the They were momentarily oblivi ous to the fact that within a fort night they would be required to hand in a complete report of the trip chronologically, together with an individual interpretation of that trip, comparing and correlating land formations to human activity and human ecology.
