Moritz of the Uni versity of Nebraska Summer Ses sion, and director of the Umver sity's educational service depart ment, has retired after a half cen tury of service to public education in the state. Born in Germany 76 years ago, Dean Moritz received bachelor de grees at Peru State Teachers col lege and Hastings college. He was Adams county superinten dent, 1897-1901; superintendent at Blue Hill, 1901-07; superinten dent at Red Cloud, 1907-14; state high school inspector, 1914-16; and superintendent at Seward, 1916 25. He joined the University staff in 1925 as dean of the summer session and head of the . educa tional service department. His colleagues in the Univer sity's Teachers College say Dean Moritz throughout his profession al career advocated two basic ideas. (1) Nebraska public school teachers should be professionally trained in institutions of higher learning in a course of study which demands of them thorough knowledge of the technical mat ter they teach, a good general edu cation, and sufficient professional training to enable them to give this information to their pupils. ihis, uean Montz onen says, is the "balanced program" vital to teacher training. (2) Adequate pay for teachers is not an end in itself. Citizens should support education gener ously, Dean Moritz once said, but at the same time should insist that they get 100 cents for every dollar spent. Dean Moritz was a consistent champion of economy and efficiency in schools, but strongly opposed retrenchment.

The cast included a body, a bier and a sleuth who eventually came up with the solu tion to prove that "crime doesn't pay."

Nebraska's Cornhuskers surprised the Oklahoma Sooners in the second quarter to take a 7-0 lead, but the superior Oklahoman's came back to score three quick touch downs and finally win 41-14. The Huskers' first touchdown was made after a miscue on the part of Oklahoma cost them 15 yards for a misconduct charge. The penalty came after the Huskers had managed to move only six yards from the Sooner 45-yard marker. Phil Young's try at the center of the tough Okla homa line failed and then came the penalty.
