ENGINEERS FORM
HEWJOCIETY

Almost Unanimous.
COMMITTEF
TO DRAFT
POINTED
J i STITUTION
Students in the College of Engi
leerine severed all connections with
the American Association of Engi
neers national organization of engi
neers! in a special convocation in
Mechanical Engineering building yes
terday morning. A committer was
appointed to form a constitution for
, neW local society.
The executive committee of the
local chapter of the A. A. E. drew
np g resolution some time ago in
which they recommended the dis
solution of the local chapter and the
formation of a local society. The
official vote taken yesterday morn
ing Was almost unanimous.
"We do not feel that the American
Association of Engineers is an or
ganization particularly well adapted
to the needs of a student society, for,
in view of the rather heavy dues
given to the national organization,
little is returned to the student which
will interest him in his college activi
ties," said the committee in its re
port The belief has been expressed by
many that a local society will bring
the students of the college closer
together and will save a consid
erable amount of money to the stu
dents. The money which was taken
up during the campaign this fall was
not turned in to the national head
quarters, so that any sum over the
amount of the dues in the new society
wiD be returned.
The local organization will have
the same officers that were elected
in the fall by the members of the
A. A. E. Henry Sargent is president,
Frank Ellermier, vice president, and
Jndson Meier, secretary-treasurer.
The following are the members of
the committee which is to submit a
plan for the new organization: Jud
on Meier, chairman, Roy Randolph,
James Marshall, Warren Pillsbury,
Max Shostak, Orve Heddon, Robert
Slaymaker.

SAYS TEACHER SHOULD
TEACH ENGLISH FIRST
Miss Bullock Urges Definite
Expression of Thought in
All Subjects.
"Everv teacher a teacher of Ene-
lish," was the topic of Miss Flora
Bullock's address to the University
Extension division readers and of
fice force at their monthly business
luncheon Thursday noon. Prof. A.
A. Reed presided as chairman of
the meeting.
"The full, definite, and concrete
expression of ideas, that is what
every teacher desires to secure from
the students. This may differ in
different courses, but the underlying
principle is always present. The
teacher of philosophy, the teacher of
history, the teacher of education, all
want the same sort of response. We
do not want vague generalizations,
unreasoned statements, unproved
conclusions. We abhor mere 'yes'
and 'no' answers. We want the ex
pression that shows that the student
has indeed given thought to the mat
ter and has his own ideas about it,
declared Miss Bullock in her appeal
for better English.
Teaching Style Change.
"In the old days when I was in
the eighth grade we used to sit in
open-mouthed amazement and listen
to one boy, now a prominent citizen
of Lincoln, reel off word for word
the pages of the lesson in Barnes'
History of the United States. We
thought that was great memory work.
Styles in pedagogy have changed
since that time, even in the grades.
I am told that in one university the
correspondence courses are made
with the definite purpose of making
it impossible for students to answer
from the book.
"These two things, I believe, are
worth while when we think of our
selves as teachers of expression in
Enelish. First, let us give such di
rections for the work of each course
that the student will be trained to
observe more, think more, and then
exDress more. Second, let us devise
means to wean him from his depend
ence upon the book, encourage him
to think for himself and express him
self in all his work."
Knows Student' Shortcomings.
Miss Bullock concluded with the
statement that there will be real
teaching in these methods, real teach
ine not only of subject matter, but
teaching of the mother tongue as a
means of self expression.
As head of the English department
in the University Extension division
and as a writer herself, Miss Bul
lock has ample opportunity to know
the shortcomings of the modern stu
dent and teacher.
A few moments were given before
the dinner to a general good time.
This was the third luncheon of the
extension division held in the last
semester.
Bengtson Addresses
Ag College Meeting
Prof. N. A. Bengtson of the geog
raphy department spoke at the Ag
ricultural College convocation Thurs
day morning on "South America." He
centralized his talk on the Santa
Elena peninsula of Ecuador. He had
recently visited this region, which is
noted for its production of oil, and
for the methods employed in this in
dustry. "
Slides, which illustrated his talk,
were shown. He depicted life in the
peninsula, the mode of living, topog
raphy, and agriculture. He especial
ly erected ..be people on their prog
ress, which is well illustrated by pic
tures of the chief town, Guayaquil.
OHIO: Ohio State University is
making use of the movie screen m
the classroom as a means of visual
education. The moving pictures used
deal mostly with agricultural subjects.
"SMILIN' THRU" NEXT
OFFERING OF PLAYERS
Allen Martin's Comedy to Be
Presented at Temple Feb
ruary 7, 8 and 9.
"Smilin' Thru," the great comedy
success of Allan Langdon Martin,
originally produced in New York wi.h
Jane Cowl in the leading role, has
been selected by the University Play
ers as their fourth offering to the
public this year. The comedy will be
presented at the Temple theater,
February 7, 8, and 9, with a Satur
day matinee.
After a surprising prologue, the
play opens in the garden of a crusty
old man with a delightful wisp of an
Irish girl possessing all the charm
of the central figure in 'Teg 0' My
Heart," as a ward. When the old
man discovers that she has fallen in
love with the son of the man who
had won the woman he loved, he be
comes furious and swears that they
shall never marry.
Here enters the quaintness of the
play. Back through the hazy film
of years that have passed comes
memory visuaized. The years that
he could not forget are lived over
again and he learns that his happi
ness can be brought about only thru
his permitting union of the lovers.
The skill with which the characters
are drawn is probably the most at
tractive feature of this play.
JUNIOR PHOTOS MUST
BE TAKEN THIS WEEK
Tomorrow Last Day Third
year Students May Have
Pictures Taken.
Tomorrow is the last day for mem
bers of the junior class to have their
pictures taken for the Cornhusker.
According to Junior Editor Charles
Adams, positively no junior pictures
will be taken after that day. This
order, caused by the rush m class
pictures, is made so that work may
begin Monday on the senior pictures.
Those juniors who have been to
the studio but who have not returned
the proofs, must get those back by
Monday night. Work on the mount
ing of the pictures will begin Tues
day. If proofs are not returned
Monday by the students, the Corn
husker staff will be compelled to
make the selections to go in the book.
If juniors wish to make their own
selection of their picture, they should
return them to Dole's sometime Mon
day. The record for the number of jun
ior pictures taken has been broken
already. Over 400 have been taken
and many more will fill appointments
in the next two days. Between five
and six hundred junior pictures will
appear in the section.
Work on the senior section will
begin next Monday. More than 100
pictures were taken before the holi
days, and it is expected that every
senior will have his picture in.
"Too bad we don't have all sen
iors represented in their section,"
said Harold Holtz, alumni secretary,
yesterday. "Occasionally we want to
look up some one who was in "hool
and the first place we look is in vhe
yearbook published when he was a
senior. They should all be there
as a permanent record of their col
lege days."
Seniors should take advantage of
examination week, and make ap
pointments for sitting, Adams said
yesterday. No list will be published
next week and there will not be the
usual rush for appointments. By
using next week many more can be
accomodated at later dates.

CHORUS NEEDS 100
ABLE-VOICED MEN
More Male Singers Necessary
for Presentation of "The
Elijah" in Spring.
In order that the presentation of
"The Elijah" in the stadium next
spring will be a credit to the state
and to the University, Mrs. Carrie B.
Raymond, director of the music, re
quests that a hundred or more able
voiced men tryout for the chorus.
There is a decided scarcity of male
singers in the chorus, Mrs. Raymond
stated, but she believed that there
was plenty of talent in the University
if it could only be found.
Because the stadium is so large,
Mrs. Raymond stated that it would
be quite essential for a large number
of men to participate to lend force
and volume to the singing. She also
stressed the unusual nature of the
event and expressed her opinion that
all singers should be interested in
the opportunity of taking part in it.
PI BETA PHI LOSES
$250 BY ROBBERY
Thieves Enter House Early in
Morning and Escape with
Jewelry and Money.
Robbers entered the Pi Beta Phi
sorority house early yesterday morn
ing and made away with jewelry and
money valued at about $250. Miss
Ruth Gnam of Carroll, la., and Miss
Emily Ross of Omaha were the vic
tims of the thieves. Miss Gnam lost
her sorority pin, a diamond ring, and
some cash. Miss Ross lost two dia
monds and two pearl rings and a
bracelet. Both girls' coats were taken
but were found a short distance out
side of the door.
It is thought that the robbers en
tered through the back door, which
was unlocked. No one saw them but
a noise was heard at about 4 a. m.
It was thought at the time it was
the nurse who is attending Miss
Hope Maynard who is ill with diph
theria. The room that was robbed
is on the second floor of the house.

season last year. The shooting so
far this week indicates that last
week's mark will be exceeded by a
hundred or more points. Some es

NEBRASKA LOSES
FIRST GAGE GAME
Kansas Aggies Win by Score
of 26 to 23 in Spectacular
Floor Battle.
FARMERS LEAD FROM
START OF CONTEST
(Special lo Nebraskan)
In what was called the most spec
tacular battle ever played on the
Kansas Aggie court, the Manhattan
fanners triumphed over the invading
Cornhuskers by a 26 to 23 score.
It was the first game that the Husk
ers have lost in the Valley.
Gaining a lead from the very start,
the Aggies maintained the lead with
the exception of the first of the sec
ond half when the Huskers tied and
forged ahead for a 22-16 score.
Substitutions on the Aggie five set
the Farmers on a scoring whirl again
and the game ended with the Husk
ers on the short end.
Goodton High-Point Man
Goodson, center on the Husker
team, was high-point man, getting
five field goals and two free throws.
His work under the basket was bril
liant and kept the Aggie guards on
his trail during the entire game.
Usher played a fast game at forward,
getting one field goal and three free
throws. Black at forward played a
clever game. Volz and Tipton at
guards kept the decks clear around
the Aggie goal and forced the Farm
ers to take long chances at the hoop.
Beerkle, Cozier, Tomes and Dewitz
were substituted during the game.
The first half ended with the Ag
gies holding a one point lead, the
score 15-16. By cose guarding and
by exhibiting a brilliant offensive,
the Huskers came from behind for
the only time during the game. After
getting within one point of the final
score, Nebraska was unable to main
tain her lead and was forced to suf
fer her first Valley defeat. Tebow,
in for Doolen in the latter part of
the game, was credited with giving
the Aggies the necessary momentum
to pass the fast Huskers and win the
game for the Aggies.
Two More Games on Trip.
With two more Valley games on
their southern trip, the team has a
chance to meet the best in the con
ference. Oklahoma, the team that
nearly broke the long-distance rec
ord for the Jayhawkers, are on the
schedule for Saturday night, while
the Kansans, winners of the title last
year, will be met tonight.

SPELLING LIST SENT
TO NEBRASKA HIGHS
Extension Division Mails Test
to Determine National
Standing of Schools.
The University Extension division
has mailed to Nebraska high school
principals a list of words to be given
to high school students as a spelling
test in order to ascertain their rela
tive excellence in spelling as com
pared to high schools of other states,
and to the national average.
A year ago, when a similar test
was made, Nebraska high schools as
a whole were from 4 to 6 per cent
below the national average. How.
ever, several of the larger city schools
of Nebraska, notably those in which
special attention has been given to
the study of English, equalled or sur
passed this national average.
The list of words used is one
standardized and used throughout
the country. The words, with one
