COMMENDS STUDY OF
v MODERN LANGUAGES
Professor Warshaw Says It
Has Cultural and Commer
cial Values.
"There are more than 3,500 spok
en languages and dialects, and wher
ever these are spoken, Americans
may be found. That is why it is in
portant that Americans should study
foreign languages," Prof. Jacob
Warshaw of the department of mod
ern languages told freshman lecture
students of the College of Arts and
Sciences, Monday evening and Tues
day morning. The subject of his
talk was "Modern Languages and
the Educated American."
"American business men are en
terprising," he said. "They seek
trade with other countries. They
must know the language of the peo
ple with whom they trade. They
tannot transact business- deals by
Baking signs."
Courses in classical languages,
Greek, Latin and Hebrew, have al
ways been given in our colleges, atN
fording to the speaker, but it was
not until the latter part of the eigh
teenth century that it became neces
wy in some colleges for students to
tudy modern languages when work
ing: for a degree.
" The studv of modern lanxruaces
disciplinary, cultural and com
mercial values. That is why it is
obligatory in most colleges and Uni
versities and it taught in high schools
Jd in some grade schools," declared
Professor Warshaw.
Europeans, with the exception of
e French, have always stressed the
importance of studying the lan
Pwges of neighboring countries, he
""d- In a country like Switzerland,
"urrounded by countries that have
Different tongues, it is necessary that
e people know various languages.
Most Swiss people learn German,

Make Progress With
Farmers Fair Plans
Work of the committees for Far
mers Fair is progressing rapidly ac
cording to Allan Cook, general man
ager of this years fair. The mate
rials committee which is responsible
for the progress of all the other com
mittees is pushing ahead the plans
and all the other committees are now
able to start active work.
All chairmen of the various com
mittees should decide what their
needs are and report them to Ray
mond Swallow, chairman of th! ma
terials committee. All properties
such as tents, costumes, flooring for
the dance platform, materials for
floats, are in charge of Swallow.
A general catalog of Phi Beta
Kappa has been issued, the first to
be published for the past twenty
years. More man ou.uuv mcmd

ment concerning each.
A. T. 0, CLINGS TO
LEADINGPOSITIQN
Lead in Interfraternity Track
Meet Is Cut to 493
Points.
NO CHANGES MADE IN
FIRST THREE PLACES
Alpha Tau Omega's lead of 1252
points over Sigma Phi Epsilon in the
interfraternity track meet was cut
down to 493 in the mile run and the
javelin throw yesterday. Alpha Tau
Omega still heads the list with
13,103. Sigma Phi Epsilon is sec
ond with 12,610, and Bushnell Guild
is third on 11,576 points. Delta Tau
Delta went up to fourth with 10,898.
All of the fraternities slumped
considerably and many men failed to
qualify in the pointmaking divi
sion. The highest number of points
was made by Dickson of Bushnell
Guild who ran the mile in 4:50 for
800 points.
The last two events in the meet,
pole vault, and 50-yard high hurdles,
will take place this afternoon in
three sections of 3:15, 4:15 and 5:15.
The 5:15 section will be the last op
portunity for delinquent fraternities
to complete running in events in
which they were unrepresented on
the regular days.
Bassett of Alpha Tau Omega came
within 21 inches of equalling the rec
ord in the 16-pound shot put Satur
day, and made 988 points out of a
possible 1000, the highest mark so
far.
The A. T. O. slump in the events
run off yesterday gives the Sigma
Phi Epsilon track men a chance at
first. The Sig Eps made 800 points
more than the A. T: O.'s yesterday,
and if they do only little more half
that good today they will win the
coveted first place honors.
The official results at the end of
thej;enth event are:
Alpha Tau Omega 13,103
Sigma Phi Epsilon ... 12,610
Bushnell Guild . 11,576
Delja Tau Delta : 10,898
Sigma Alpha Epsilon 10.7J34

MOVE ALUMNI OFFICES
TO TEMPLE BUILDING
Increased Amount of Work
Being Done Makes Change
Necessary.
The Alumni offices have been
moved from room 106 in the Law
building to the Temple building. The
increased amount of work done thru
the offices makes larger rooms nec
essary.
The new quarters include the
large room in the northeast corner
on the first floor of the building,
and the small room next to it. All
equipment and fixtures have been
moved and decorators are refinish
ing the rooms. The small room will
be used as a mailing room. The large
room will be used for the Alumni of
fice and stadium headquarters..
A special feature of the new of
fice will be the reception room for
old grads. This will be a small room
furnished with davenports, chair, and
rugs and should be a comfortable
place for the alumni to have their
headquarters whenevei they return.

Produce Liquid Air
Rate of Three
(University News Service.)
Liquid air, not unlike ordinary city
water in appearance, was made or
the first time on the campus of the
the University March 31 and can now
be produced for experimental pur
poses at the rate of about three gal
lons a day. . Thfs process, bv which
atmospheric air is cooled to the point
of liquefication, is an important step
in research work on heat transfer and
heat insulation at low temperatures,
which in turn are important phenom
ena in the manufacture of helium,
the new gas so much in .demand to
float lighter-than-air craft Work
ing for the national defense, the U.
S. Bureau of Mines has undertaken
to produce helium in great quanti
ties and at low cost.
The machinery installed in the
department of mechanical engineer
ing of the University has nothing di

Classes will be excused at 10:30
o"clock today, a parade will form

first of the Sherwood Eddy addresses.
Mj. Eddy will arrive in Lincoln at
10:40 o'clock and will be met at the
station by a group of students.
Mr. iiddy has announced no sub
ject for his first address. His only
reference to the first lecture stated
that he would speak on topics of
vital interest to students, Monroe
Gleason, chairman of committee in
charge, stated. He will probably an
nounce the other subjects. Chancel
lor Avery will preside at this ad
dress. Immediately after the speech, the
committees, members of the faculty
and Nebraska's guest, Sherwood

for luncheon. Short talks will be

will be discussed.

For a short time in the afternoon,
Mr. Eddy will be available for con
ferences. Appointments may be made
with Paul McCaffree, secretary of
the University Y.M.C.A. Mr. Eddy
stated that not more than two main
addresses should be held in one day

to meet with students and faculty
members.

start at 7:15, will be presided over
by Gertrude Tomson, president of
Mortar Board. Those who do not
care to remain for the entire address
will have an opportunity to leave at
8 o'clock.
Monroe Gleason stated that stu
dents did not seem to know that
Sherwood Eddy paid all of his own
expenses while visiting the various
colleges of the country. The only ex
pense that students are asked to bear
is that incurred by the committee in
announcing the coming of Mr. Eddy
to Nebraska. Such announcements
were made through the columns of
the papers without expense but the
posters, the pamphlets, and the ren
tal on the church must be paid for by
student contributions.
