Professor Bradford described the questions' he is asked when he talks to high school assemblies.

BASEBALL SQUAD IS GETTING IN SHAPE Coach Dye Has Practically New Team to Develop Many Hurlers Out. With onlv a few davs remaining for the Nebraska baseball artists to round into shape before the initial games or the season. Coach "Scotty" Dye is finding the raw weather a strong force to combat. Compelled to put his squad at work in the limited room which the Armory affords, he has, nevertheless, just a great deal of spirit into the more than sixty who are re porting regularly, and he states that he considers prospects for a winning season very promising. Only five letter men. including Cap tain Frank Carman, remain from the la.-t year's team, so Coach Dye will be compelled to fill a great many places, but a dealth of baseball abil ity is being shown by the men who are out. Twelve men are workv.g out as slab men, Captain Carman, Sheiffle, Dalezell, Petersen, Sorensen, Lewel len. Greenlee. Bert, Tipton, Watson, Lewis, and Arnot, and it is certain that Coach Dye will be able to pick men capable of handling the send.ng en.l from this squad. To pick out catchers will be more difficult, for both Thompson and Anderson who did the receiving last year are lost to the team. However. Hubka, Patty., ami Kennedy are fhapinir up well. Coach Dye has inaugurated several novel schemes to assist in putting the Hunkers in condition. To help their batting eyes, he has rigged up a cork suspended from the ceiling by a string (Continued on Page Four). LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, TI1UUSDAY, MARCH 22, 1923 Scholarship Committee to Meet Students From One place on the campus today wub binder than any other, Jtho office of the Executive Denn. Now of , course wo don't know why, but it was- cer tainly interesting to see the change In the facial exnicsslons of the stu dents who went In the door and the ones who Rom.?w!at later emerged therefrom. A timid freshman who throe years from now will bo much better ac quainted with the place, was unable to find the particular door whlea was to him the magnet calling. The magnot, be it hero added, was like on of those powerful electric ones which to approach Is pain, but which the magnetized substance Is absolute ly unablo to keep away from. A blase sophomore odd how much better used to things a sophomore is than his older brother the junior- slouched up to the door, really not In a hurry to answer the summons. We were anxious to hear his views, but at that . precise moment he entered the sanctum, and our hopes were blasted. Nad we been able to listen in on his thoughts, we Imagine them as something like this: "You see, the Dean and I are good friends. Every year I stroll In three or four times to chat with him for a little while. He likes to .have me come, and will stop his work, even at the busiest time of the year, to give me a littV fatherly advice. Why, he's so anxious for my company that "SWEEF MAMA" NUMBER OF AW6WAN OUT TODAY Copies of College Comic May Be Had at Station A or Office in Administration Hall. The "Sweet Mama" numher of Aw gwan, Nebraska's monthly comic mag azine, will be out at ten o'clock Thurs day morning, and may be secured at Station A. Old numbers may be ob tained at the office of the publication in the northeast corner of the Ad ministration building. The issue has as a cover design the picture of a co-ed and is printed in black and white. "This is one of the most striking covers which we have had this year," says a member of the stair. Beulah Butler is the do signer. The issue was edited under the di rection of the girls of the staff, as is implied in the name of the number. Carolyn Airy, associate editor of the magazine, had general supervision. Patience. The time will come when German's piomises to pay will be of I great value to collectors of antiques. A conservative is one who now hotly refuses to travel further than the distance he won when he was a progressive. Sixty-five Percent of Students Are Musicians, Statistian Proves How many University students play (or "play at," as one expressed it t musical instruments? To be real candid about it, the re porter doesn't know, not having an auditorium on the campus large enough to hold the 7911 students now enrolled to 'tall for standing "yeas" and "nays." Nevertheless, he started to find out, canvassed al studlents rooming on a street bordering the campus, decided 'twas too much of a task to complete the original idea and theorized by saying what wa true of one street would practically hold true, with slight variations, in the whole University district. There are 120 students rooming on this harmonious, melodious, and dis coidious street, including nonorgan ized groups, a fraternity and two so rorities in its metropolitan area. Ac cordingly, this should be fairly repre sentative of the University as a whole. Students from every college but that of Veterinary MeJicine ar e repre sented. Dealing in percentage. i was found that exactly C5 per cent, oi " of tho students could play some form oi mu sical instrument, making easy round numbers for the writer to work with. These who could not play proved that college wit runs mostly in the same vein by alleging they could play a Victrola that U, all but one, and he All Classes Today he actually sends me written Invita tional" A Junior, who because he Is near Ing the end of his supposedly blissful caroer, Is more serious about whether he will ever come out of It alive or not, walks In fear and trembling aft ho approaches the dread door. And after a minute or two, he too Is swal lowed up, having gone In at that door, from which he will como back "a sad der but wiser man." The senior, who hitherto has been considering what size key to buy after the convocation announcements have been made, has a different mien from any of these, lie Is genuinely wor ried, for without the sheepskin what good to him Is his robust liealtht? What good to him Is the accumulated knowledge of th epast three intermin able yenrs, if he has not that tangible reward and proof of the integrity of his labor? And behind this very door are the tyrants who may possibly deprive Mm of th ecoveted right to write after his name, "University of Nebraska, A. B., 1923." After spring vacation, perhaps sonu or those people will feel that their precarious state of health necessitates rest rest travel, as it were. Per haps the University will have no longer the attraction of the past. And these very people may themselves have a lesser attraction for the Uni versity Who knows? IS OUnOR MARCH Third Installment of History of University Appears Two Oldest Graduates Featured. The March issue of the "University Journal," alumni publication, is out. A feature of this number is the ac count of the first two graduates of the University. These members of the class of '73 are William H. Snell, of Tacoma, Washington, and J. S. Dales, recording secretary of the Uni versity Corporation. Both men are expected to take an active part in the Second Annual Roundup this spring. In the department devoted to items "of Particular Interest" an account is given of how the class of 1913 is planning to have a large celebration at the spring roundup. The Alumni are also informed that they will not receive the Journal in the future until their dues are paid. The third in stallment of the history of the Uni versity is in this number. This article tacks up some of the early difficulties encountered by the University. The preference of French women for American husbands would seem more complimentary except for the continental myth that all Americans are millionaires. "allowed he could play a dish pan." Those students who actually could piy acknowledged ability to play any thing fiom a pipe organ to a comb covered with paper, all the require ments to produce tropical charms from the latter instruments being a goodly supply of wind to blow on the paper, the entrancing notso coming out through the teeth in the comb.

CABINET 13 NSTALLED IN OFFICE Impressive Ceremony Carried Out LasJ Evening at Ellen Smith Hall. The installation of the new cabinet of the Y. VV. C. A. was solemnized by an impressive candle light service Wednesday evening at Ellen Smith Hall. .Dorothy Williams, retiring president, presided over the service, lighting the candles of the incoming cabinet. Miss Erma Appleby, secre tary of the University association, ad dressed the girls informally on their duties as cabinet members. "Your purpose as cabinet members is not primarily to keep the machin ery of the association oiled and going smoothly, although this is an import ant function," declared Miss Appleby. "Your purpose is primarily to feed the spiritually hungry whom you meet rn this campus. However you cannot do this unless you yourself possess the bread of life with which to satisfy them." Miss Appleby listed personal prayer, the church, and appropriation of the religious experience of others as the three ways of gaining the spiritual glow necessary to possess before it is possible to pass it on to others. The vesper choir provided the music for the ceremony. The purpose of the Y. W. C. A. was read in unison by the two cabinets. Grace Spacht,' newly elected president, closed the service with an expression of the earnestness of the new cabinet in undertaking its duties. , There are twenty-one members on the cabinet. Five members were elected by the association early in March. According with a custom of the Y. W. C. A. the defeated candi dates automatically become members of the cabinet. The rest were ap pointed by the president. y QUESTIONS ARE NTELLIGENGE TESTS Tests Valuable in Classifying Men During World War Psychologists Find Faults. By Elizabeth Thorley America is now suffering from an onslaught of psychologists who rush unsuspectingly upon their victims school children, army men, laborers, in fact any available persons in struct them to place "a circle under the first number; a line under the second number; a triangle around the third number, and so forth, in two seconds. And with the results of this so-called reliable test, brand them for life as intellectual, normal, or imbe cile. How do phychologists account for the many slips in the results of their pet-hobby ? For instance, one man in the army who took the test was, be fore the war, an expert accountant good in any mathematics. Surely one must possess a great deal of intel lect to follow such a profesiosn. He took the test and the results branded him as ubnormaI he failed in every part of the examination. During the war, one million seven hundred thousand officers- and men wer tested, with the amazing result that the great majority failed to come up to the standard set for ten-year-old children. We know that there is a mistake somewhere half of our men are not morons. The somewhat trite phrase, "a place for everything and everything in its place" is here applicable. Walter Lippman said of this phase of psy chology, "the whole field is destined to be the happy hunting ground of quack? and snobs" if some change is (Continued on Page Two.) at Temple Theater This Morning OF THOSE GETTING HONOR Phi Beta Kappa announcements for this year will be made at the eleven o'clock convocation Thursday, March 27, -at the Temple. At the meeting of the society Wednesday noon, it was voted that the list should not be given out until after the announcements had been made. The University orchestra will play. The highest average grade was 94. ()(!, and the lowest average made by the new members of the society was 87.72, according to Prof. A. R. Congdon, secretary of Nebraska Alpha chapter. The elections are based on the scholarship averages throughout the four college years. The following statement as to the basis of the elections was given out yesterday by the society. "Elections to Alpha of Nebraska Phi Beta Kappa are made annually not earlier than March fifth. The announcement of the names of those elected is made at the last convocation preceding the spring recess. "The chapter elects from one-tenth to one-sixth of those eligible whose scholarship average is highest. "The rules of the chapter provide: "1. In order to be eligible for elec tion on the basis of undergraduate scholarship, a student shall be a can didate for graduation at the next suc ceeding June commencement, or shall have gra-',ded at the preceding mid year commencement, or preceding summer school commencement from any college in the University of Ne braska, provided the group require ments for graduation from the Col lege of Arts and Sciences have been fulfilled. "2. All grades made in the Uni versity of Nebraska previous to the date of election shall be averaged with the exception of shorthand, typewrit ing, floor work in physical education, and the required work in military science. "3. No student shall be eligible who has less than sixty-four hours' credit in the University of Nebraska, exclusive of the above named sub jects, recorded in the office of the registrar on March fifth, at least twenty-four hours of these credits being in the group requirements. "4. No student who is considered for membership at the time of the an nual election, being eligible under the foregoing rules, shall again be con sidered for membership excepting as an alumnus." The first three of these rules have been followed several years, but the fourth was adopted at the meeting Wednesday noon at which the new members were elected. These requirements will be pub lished in the University catalog for the year 1923-24, and are already in corporated into the by-laws of the University. The new members each year are elected from the members of three graduating classes, the June class of the year, the summer school class and the mid-year class of the year in which the elections are held. Nebraska has but one chapter of the national honorary fraternity that at the University of Nebraska. Each state starts with Alpha chapter, and there is as yet no other group of members of the organization to be Beta chapter of the organization for the state.
