OF BIBLE STUDY
Doris Trott Discusses Purpose
Of Meetings at Vesper
Service
GROUP LEADERS NAMED
"What He was, what he thought,
and how He thought man should
live," Doris Trott stated as the
aim of the Bible study groups
of which she is the leader, at the
Vesper services Tuesday night.
"There are three ways a person
may Come to what it is in life that
gives satisfaction," asserted Miss
Trott Satisfaction here is some
thing deeper than pleasure. The
first means is one's own experience
inj those moments that are most real
in moments in which we get the
greatest proof that God is; that the
God that Jesus talked about is. Were
this the only means, our life would
be one of trial and waste for some
how we are not always capable of
interpreting these moments. Outside
influences' are the second means. By
books, sermons, and mingling with
people, one comes across an idea by
which one finds Jesus' way.
"We don't know how much our
lives are dependent on the lives of
others," declared Miss Trott, "but
there is a real danger in this depen
dence on other people to tell you
how to live." People judge a theory
or idea by the way it works out in
others' lives. "Would you be happy
to think that in your life Jesus' way
is being tested?" demanded the
speaker.
The third way to find the abund
ant life is to go to the only record
we have of His teachings and His
mind. Speaking to the girls who
joined the organization by the sym
bolic service last week, Miss Trott
reminded them that they said they
wanted to try Jesus' way and that
they are still responsible (tot find
what He did say. "We must know
what He said to judge the other
sources as to whether they conform
to it His records are the nearest
we can come to what He believed and
what He thought kas the most satis
factory life. Through Jesus, we find
God, she stated and that is the ulti
mate aim."
Six groups of Bible study was an
nounced which plan to discuss prob
lems of Unlversfty women and to
find what the opinion of Jesus would
be on those same subjects. Mary
Doremus will conduct a group at
3:00 Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri-
University Pastors
Personal Touch
Not many are aware of the work ,
that is being carried on Dy me uni
versity pastors, and the important
part they play in the student life of
Nebraska. It is the aim of these
m tn rnme into personal touch with
each student belonging to any of the
various denominations represented in
the Federation of Church Workers,
under which they are organized.
Each of the more prominent rrotest
ant faiths have a pastor delegated es
pecially to administer to the neeas
of his particular parishioners.
The University pastors are subject
to call by the students at any time
and are anxious to render any ser
vice they can, whether it be religious
or secular. The different pmton
urge their members to call on tnen,
for any kind of consultation, and tc
make their offices the student's reli
gious headquarters. Much help i'
being given students n
their vocation for life, a question that
often the pastors find, is most dir..
cult for the average student to de
cide. ,

FIRST DAY TOTAL SMALL
Official Emphasize Necessity of Can
vassers Keeping on Job and
Attending Meeting
Only a smarr numncr of the work
ers in the Y. M. C. A. finnnce drive
made reports at the meeting In the
Temple last night. For that reason
the total amount of money raised
the first day of the drive as shown
by the reports compiled last night
by those in charge was not large.
It is believed, however, that there is
a large amount of money that has
not been checked in.
Arthur Jorgensen, general secre
tary of the "Y," and Judd Davis, in
charge of the finance drive, empha
size the necessity of every worker
and team captain attending the shortJ
meeting in the Temple at 9:30 this
evening. Light refreshments will be
served after the business has been
cleaned up.
The team captained by Douglass
Orr had the highest total Tuesday
evening. It had checked in some
thing over eighty dollars, with sever
al team members not reporting.
"If the drive is to be satisfactorily
carried through, every man must do
his part," said Judd Davis at the
meeting. "Every worker should at
tend the meeting tonight so that we
can get an accurate line on the prog
ress of the campaign."
Lists of prospective subscribers to
the "Y" fund were distributed to
the workers last night These are
so arranged that each team will have
a definite territory. By use of such
a system it will be possible for the
canvassers to get to every man in
the University.
Subscriptions received so far indi
cate that students are supporting the
"Y" with much larger individual
subscriptions than has been the cus
tom in past years. A number of
twenty-five dollar pledges, and num
erous ones for five and ten dollars
were reported. "Y" officials regard
ed this as indicative of the growing
appreciation of the work that the
association is carrying on.
"Students are coming to realize
that the "Y" really stands for some
thing and is an active organization,

Five Hundred White Rats Used at
Stanford to Test Learning Ability
Five hundred white rats are being
used by Professor Calvin P. Stone of
the psychology department at Stan
ford University in research work to
determine the learning ability with
respect to age. The study is being
financed by a grant fro mthe Car
negie Corporation of $12,000 to be
extended over a period of three years
After the first year higher animals,
such as a cat, will be studied.
The problem in the case of animals
is to test the ability to learn at suc
cessive stages of development With
rats ages of twenty, thirty, fifty, one
hundred, and two hundred days are
used. Intermediate ages may'be used
later in further expansion of the
work. Both the learning of new
habits and the breaking of the old
ones are to be tested.
Two types of tests are being con
ducted by Professor Stone at pres
ent, the problem box and the maze
The problem box os a square box of
wire leading to another box contain
ing food. The door can be opened
by stepping upon a small platform
projecting from the side bf the box
When the rat depresses this platform
with his feet an electric circuit is
closed which releases the door lead-

TICKETS ARE FIFTY CENTS
About 500 freshmen are expected
at the annual freshman barbecue to
be held in the east stand of the sta

are on sale by all members of the
Iron Sphinx, sophomore, men's or
ganization, and at the College Book
Store. The price of the tickets is
fifty cents.
Dean Engberg, Coach E. E. Eearg,
Captain Ed Weir and Robert Lang,
president of the Innocents, will be
the speakers of the evening. Robert
Lang will talk on "The Olympics."
Ray Randels, president of the Iron
Sphinx, wall act as toastmaster.
Fraternities Close Tables
The fraternities are cooperating
with the Iron Sphinx by closing their
tables to freshmen this evening. Re
ports from tiicket sales committee
show that the tickets have been sell
ing rapidly and it is hoped that a
large number will be present
The program for the evening in
cludes speeches, music furnished by a
popular orchestra, and cheers and
songs led by the freshmen cheer
leaders. The original plans were to hold the
barbecue on the drill field, but, due
to the weather conditions, the place
was changed to the east stand of the
stadium.
Each year the barbecue is sponsor
ed by the Iron Sphinx to aid the
freshmen in creating and organizing
a class spirit for the Olympics, the
annual sophomore-freshman clash,
which will be held November 21. Last
year over 300 freshmen attended the
barbecue.

Owing to the weather conditions,

it is necessary, there will be no soc

extends too far into the time set aside
for soccer.
Grade Point System Adopted
A grade point system has been
adopted by the faculty of the Uni

The maze is one of the oldest de
vices to test intelligence and learn
ing ability. It consists of a laby
rinthine passage cantaining many
blind alleys but only one direct path
to the end, where food is placed for
the successful rat. A hungry animal
is placed at the starting point and
allowed to find his way to the exit
The number of false mo"s taken and
ability by this trial and error method,
the time required measured learning
In addition to the five hundred white
rats now being used in these experi
ments, a breeding colony of about
one hundred animals is maintained.
A rough estimate of the relative
rate of physical development in the
rat and in man would be as thirty is
to one, according to eminent anato
mists. A rat one month old is equal
in physical development to a child
two and one-half years old. Results
now at hand would seem to indicate
that the rttio of mental development
is probably more nearly as fifty is
