The Charleston menace is now

leave in its path a heap of ruined

Here and there authorities have
enacted restrictive legislation. At
the University of Indiana the board
of trustees prohibited the dance in
"the Student Building in order to fore

A special rate of fifty cents for
the four numbers, which are yet to
be issued this year, has attracted
many new subscribers. For one dol
lar the four back copies and the fut
ure issues will be mailed to any ad

slipped somewhat last year, but has
grown in student favor again.
Merle Jones, business manager,
says the sUff is hard at work on the
next issue and that it will be one of
the best of the year.
COLLINS LECTURES
AT 11DSEDLI SOHDAY
Address on "The Smithsonian Insti
tnte" Gives Historical Background
And Development
"Tor the increase and diffusion of
knowledge among men," was fre
quently quoted in a lecture on "The
Smithsonian Institute" given by
Frederick G. Collins. Preparator for
the Museum, Sunday afternoon.
This is a part of the brief sen
tence in the will of James Smithson,
which made possible the esUblibh
ment of the Smithsonian Institute at
Washington, D. d, an institution
which hns always adhered to its ori
ginal purpose of increasing and
spreading knowledge.
"Weather warnings were first is
sued by this institution, but were la
ter given over to the Department cf
Agricultue.,,' said Mr. Collins, show
ing that the instiruion has always
been devoted principally to helping
study and research on new lines it
never carrys on activities which
could be done as well, or better, else
where, a custom which was esUblish
ed by Professor Joseph Henry, the
firrt secretary of the Smiths iniai, In
stitution.
Some of the historical and roman
tic background of Smithson and tne
Smithsonian foundation vt? des
cribed by Mr. Collins, and was illus
trated with slides. Particular em
phasis was placed upon the unique
relation of this background to the
present day institaiin.

STUDENT GROUP
TO STUDY ARTS
COLLEGE WORK
All Interested Upperclassmen
Are Invited to First Meet
ing Today
FACULTY APPROVES PLAN
Dean James Encourages Small Group
To Organise and Make Tboroag a
Study
Juniors and seniors in the Collera
of ArU and Sciences who are inter
ested in discussing the aims and the
methods of that college will meet
today in the student pastora room,
lirst floor of The Temple, at 4:S0
o'clock. All Arts college upperclass
men are invitej lo share in an open
forum discussion rogardine the
merits of the college. This action
comes as the result of unofficial in
dication by a group of the facultv
that they would be glad to hear the
result of the student discussion.
Dean James and the members of
the Arts faculty have held informal
meetings frequently during the past
semester. Discussion has been di
rected toward an evaluation of the
work of the Arts college with the idea
of possible improvement A number
of students have also been interested
in a survey of the work of the Arts
college and some of its courses. A
group of students sent to the faculty
a letter expressing student interest
and a desire to register student opin
ion. Faculty Welcomes Discussion
In a letter to the students, the fa
culty group sUted that it would wel
come action by a student committee
of some sort. Today's meeting will
be an attempt to get a representative
gathering of interested studenU with
the idea cf starting discussions or
forming an undergraduate committee
to study the situation.
Because the faculty expressed the
desire that student activity should
generate itself from within the stu
dent body, the meeting this after
noon will be only of students. If
sufficient interest is evidenced, it it
likely that some, sort of com mi tee
will be formed to hold regular for
ums and prepare a report for the
Dean and the faculty group.
Is Not New Idea
The idea of an undergraduate com
mittee to criticize the college is not
new. According to recent reports.
several attempts have been made in
such schools as Harvard. Dartmouth.
Cornell, and others. At Harvard and
Cornell the student paper contained
articles expressing student opinioa of
various courses in the curriculum.
At Dartmouth, by invitation of Presi
dent Hopkins, twelve seniors pre
pared a report conUining a state
ment of purpose for the collee-e. a
proposed curriculum, and statements
of the function of the faculty, the
introduction of honor courses, meth
ods of admitting students, as well as
ways of grading and awarding de
grees. There has been no extensive treat
ment of the aims, methods, and the
functions of the Arts College in a
state university. Some studenU who
have been interested in the local
situation think such treatment de
sirable. The hope has ben expressed that
all students who may be interested
in criticising the Arts College, or its
courses, will come to the meeting to
day. While no special inducement
in the way of credit or publicity are
being offered, there is some indica
tion that a report, if made, win be
given careful consideration by a
large group of the faculty and by
The Daily Nebraskan.
Seven New Buildings
The College of Medicine at the
University of MinnesoU soon win
have seven new buildings. This con
struction program will involve about
$2,g00,000, $1,900,000 cf which has
been given by individual friends of
the university, the rest having beea
appropriated by the sUte.
WEATHER FORECAST

try except the lower Lake region
