Circulation Manager MORE COMMITTEES Another class committee list ap peared In the news columns of The Galsworthy, Barrle, Shaw, Conrad The College Press THE REMARKABLE PRESENT Mr. Arthur Corning White of the English Department has jumped, pen in hand, to the defense of this "Gol den" age of literature. It was Presi dent Moody of Mlddlebury whose "Age of Lawlessness" In the Janu ary Bookman evoked Mr. White's reply in the recent issue of the same periodical. Mr. White has compiled an able, rational and convincing de fense. The Dartmouth Instructor attacks the "pigeonhole" method of many literary critics. He considers that all ages have their vulgar and their sweet novelists, their atheist and their pantheist poets, their shallow and their deep essayists. And he believes that our age, likewise, em braces all types; and that it is re plete with writers of excellency. Mr. White brings out the fine point that the study of modern writ ers is the only opportunity students have for intelligent and individual critical thinking. The last word on Congreve was uttered by Macauley, and John Morley has uttered many last words himself. But Shaw still offers the student a possibility for originality in criticism. Mr. White occupies himself with the value of studying present day writers, and both he and President Moody tnke it for granted that col leges have taken up the study. It was only a month ago that Heywood Broun found space to rail against colleges for snubbing such writers Daily Nebraskan yesterday. Th:san(i O'Neill.

The person who habitually or fre quently lifts his voice in objection to certain nocepied practice or es tablished ideas, is immediately tagged and discredited with the label "knocker." The antithesis of the "knocker" is the "booster." He is the campus equivalent of the little glad girl whose pithless optimism has found expression in popular fiction. He in sists 'of seeing good in everything which exists and his determination to discover this good frequently leads him 10 the very heights of aj.iun ty.

He is thoroughly im bued with the bigger and better idea the terms being synonymous in his , mind. . His cheerfulness, his good faith are refreshing.

LAMMLI REACHES NEW HIGH RECORD Completes Firing with Score of 379; Exceeds Old Score by Four Points. W. T. Lammli, star Ilusker rifle man, established another new indoor gallery record yesterday, when he completed his four-position firing for a score of 379, which is four points higher than the old record made last week by R, M. Currier. Lammli's rec ord score was made by consistent shooting in all four positions. His lowest score was 92 in the kneeling and standing positions. He made 93 and 97 prone and sitting The nearest approach to Lammli's mark so far is by R. M. Currier, for mer record holder, who has fired 9C, 95. and 91 sitting, kneeling, and standing, respectively. This is one point more than Lammli's mark for the three positions, and gives Cur rier a good chance to tie Lammli, or pass him. Dale Skinner, still suffering from rib injuries received in wrestling a week ago, fired in the four positions yesterday, making a score of 365. E. L. Plotts is another who has complet ed firing. His score for the week is 358. Mark Fair dropped consider ably in the shooting this week, mak ing only 94 prone.
