Getx, of Ohio State University Write Concerning School of ' Journalism Nebraska University, offering little in the way of journalistic training as compared to other universities and colleges, nevertheless ranks tenth in the number of students taking the work. This is one of the points made in a communication from Carl H. Getz of Ohio State University to The Daily Xebraskan. in commenting upon the agitation for a school of journalism at this institution. Professor Getz reviews .the history of the teaching of Journalism, from the time, eleven years ago, when it was not taught at all. to the present time when 5.000 students are getting jour nalistic training in 106 colleges and universities. His letter is printed below: To the Daily Nebraskan, Lincoln, Nebraska : From Nebraska newspaper friends of mine and as a result of reading of Nebraska newspapers, I have learned that the newspaper men of Nebraska are trying to persuade the board of regents of the University of Nebraska to establish a school of journalism at that institution. As sec retary of the American Association of Teachers of Journalism, I personally and the organization which I repre sent Is interested in this movement and for that reason I though: I would give you some information about in struction in journalism in our Amer ican colleges and universities, assum ing that you are among the newspa per men of ihe state who desire to see the proposed school established. University of Washington First "Eleven years ago there was not a college or university in the United States which had a formally organized department of journalism in 1 separ ate college such as liberal arts or arts and sciences, or a separate school. J la 1907 the University of Washington in Seattle established a separate de partment In a college of liberal arts. In 1908 the University of Missouri es tablished a school of journalism. To day I have record of 106 colleges and universities offering instruction In Journalism. To give you what I will report to the American Association of! Teachers of Journalism in April at the time of the seventh annual meet ing of the association to be held Jn Chicago in a word, there are today nearly 200 men and women in 106 col leges and universities offering instruc tion to nearly 5.000 students.

The great national game will come to life as the result of the new con ference ruling that the authorities of the colleges do not have to vouch for the amateur standing of the athletes competing. Several years ago the game was dis continued at Nebraska because of certain trouble arising from the fact that some of the men played baseball in the summer to get the necessary "wherewithal" to carry them through the year. According to a Missouri val ley ruling at that time the athletic authorities of the Valley schools were forced to swear that all the men were strictly amateurs. This could not be done truthfully and as a result the sport was dropped. Nebraska should have a great team this year, as there are a number of men of star calibre in school. The greatest trouble facing the coach this year will be to find pitchers. Just at present it is hard to line up the ma terial in any sort of form. ' A meeting has been called for this ! noon in S 102 in the west end of the 1 a t .i m I I n r(TA Armory.

Deyo Crane, the Door mouse. Is naturally a little excited over this portion of the act He can't see why the Door mouse gets the blame, and to be put in a tea pot is altogether a new experience to him. But the embarrass ment of the Door mouse couldn't pos sibly equal the chagrin of the Turtle, for the Turtle slipped, in the midst of dance and turned right ovr on I . . . - u J i.xv tn bis back: - ri - uowu y"""- make a Turtle. very realistic and active PHI DELTA GHI COUNCIL CLOSES National Conclave of Pharmaceutical Fraternity Ended Yesterday Grand Officers Are Elected The grand council of Phi Delta Chi. pharmaceutical fraternity, in session here since Sunday, closed yesterday afternoon with the election of grand officers.

The minister's son. you know, like all minister's sons, cuts loose at last and dances the Sailor's Hornpipe! The Lobster quadrille is danced by the Griffen and the Mock-Turtle, in a moment of Joy. But most unheard of. of all that's unheard of concerns the Cheshire Cat The executloneer had designs on the Cat and tried to cut off his head. The little girls and boys know what happened and they would cay the same thing that Alice did: "Well I've -seen a cat without grin before, but a grin without a cat what's that!" Prof. Alice Howell in speaking of the production, said: "This is the first attempt of the de partment in presenting a children's play. If this is successful, I hope to establish a 'Junior Department' to devote Itself especially to the produc tion of children's plays." Fred M. Hunter, superintendent of Lincoln schools, has been asked to notify the grade school children of the Saturday performances. The costumes for the play have been rented from Leben, Omaha TWINS CLUB TO HAVE DANCE As long as there are no square dances scheduled and partners remain with one another, there may be no particular danger in the dance scheduled by the Twins' club for Sat urday evening at Jean and Janet Mc Rae's, to which all University twins are invited. It is gaspingly exciting, however, to contemplate the results should some thing happen to cause a general scramble. Think, for Instance, of insist ing upon Anna's sister dancing with you while she starts out on the floor with your brother, whom she recog nizes as you by your necktie which he happens to be wearing! HUSKER TEAMS ON FOREIGN FLOORS Basketball and Wrestling Teams I vade Iowa to Meet Ames, Drake, and Iowa State Nebraska will be represented in two foreign fields this week when her bas ketball team Is entertained at Ames and Drake, and her wrestling team goes to Iowa City. The basketball squad left yesterday afternoon for Ames where they will play a two game series. The pros pects for victory are not exceptionally bright as the men are still disorgan ized by their three defeats of last week. The large floor at Ames will I be a great handicap to the Cornhusk ; era who are used to the "pill-box" ef fect of the home, floor. The Aggies have a fine record for the season, having defeated such teams as Missouri, Iowa and Grinnell. FYom Ames the team goes to Des Moines for a game with Drake on Sat urday night. The Bulldogs ought not to present very stiff competition but J accidents are always likely to happen. The wrestling team will mix with the Iowa University representatives I at Iowa Citr on Saturdav night They wm leaye Llncoln tomorrow afternoon ! accompanied by Coach Rutherford. Dr. R. G. Clapp, head of the pby- sical Education department, will fol low the team Saturday. He has been chosen to referee the bouts.
