Bickel Touring West, Lectures Journalists And Public GIVES SPECIAL WARNING 'Don't Co Into Journalism Unless You Can't Possibly Stay Out," He says "Don't go .into journalism unless you can't possibly stay out," was the warning President Karl A. Bickel, of the United rress, fired at students of the School of Journalism in an ad dress last evening in Social Science Auditorium. Mr. Bickel, who was appointed president of the great news gath ering organization four years ago, af ter a distinguished record as war cor respondent, is making a lecture tour of the West. He was introduced by Prof. M. M. Fogg, director of the School of Journalism. Following the address motion pictures were shown of the world-wide gathering and distribution of news by the Un ited Press. "Be sure that you can't stay out, that you don't want to be a doctor Or lawyer. If you feel down in your heart that you simply have got. to be in journalism, then you will be a success at it," he declared. "I know of no other time when the rewards in journalism are so great for able men and women who have ideas and a willingness to work." World Wants Youth "The world is simply crying for in telligent, able young men and women to go into the business. We want your youth. We will suck it up and pay you well for it, and you will get i lot of fun out of it But you must make up your mind that there is nothing else you care for. You must give up the thought of regular hours, home, an established residence, until a time when you are possibly too old to enjoy these comforts," he contin ued. "If you are going in, and you de cide that it is the only thing in the world for you, then do not be too much attraced by the high salaries," he further warned. "The curse of newspapers in a sense is high salaries. Point your life, if possible, at getting an interest in the enterprise. Never allow yourself to be deterred from your purpose. Select Your .Job "You pick out your newspaper nine times out of ten. Look over the field to the best of your ability, and then select your job, and never give up until you get it. You'll get it." That newspapers are no longer go ing to attempt to mold public opin ion for or against a cause, was Mr. Bickel's prediction about the future of journalism. "People .make up their ovim minds now as to what should be their course of action, and if an editor gets too obstreperous and too insistent I think you are somewhat Inclined to drop that newspaper and do your think ing for yourself," he reasoned in support of his prediction, which he bases in part on the effects of the tremendous amount of intelligence which the universities have bee "pumping" into the public for the last thirty years. Is Journalism A Profession? "I question whether journalism is profession at all. I am coming to believe we are more an industry that ill rank with the sisel and automo bile. But I frankly admit it fs open to debate," he ventured in discussing Mother phase. "Just as an electric light plant is a generator of electric nergy, so the editor of the future is euing to look a great deal at his newspaper in the same way. Papers becoming generating plants for dvertising energy." Mr. Bickel is leaving this morning " Hasting to attend the conven tion of the Nebraska Press Associa tion.

Summer Session Bulletins Are Now Available; First Courses Offered For Twelve Weeks Cut Into Two Periods To Take Care of Large Enrollment This Year) Expect Good Attendance Plans for the Summer Session, to be given June 8 to August 20, have been completed, and bulletins are now available. The session is given to enable un dergraduates, graduates, and teach ers to continue their studies along educational or professional lines dur ing the summer months. Students who find it necessary to shorten the time to be spent at school are aided in obtaining degrees in a much short er time. Many students and teachers work for professional degrees. The Teachers are especially aided by the Summer Session, as it enables them to meet the new requirements and to qualify for higher degrees. The Summer Session for many years offered but six weeks of work, but because of the large enrollment, it was increased to twelve weeks, with two terms. The schedule and classes are so arranged that the cour ses can be entered into either term. Nearly all departments in the sec ond term offer beginning work. Work Continued The instructoin in all the colleges is so planned that work begun, in the first term can be continued in the second session. A large number of students have been attending both terms. AH courses are given at the main campus, with the exception of Home Economic Courses, which are given at the Agricultural campus. General entrance requirements are observed for all the colleges. Those who will attend the Summer Session will be brought into contact with many of the foremost educa tors in America. Among those who have been secured to offer special courses are Dr. George D. Strayer, Dr. N. L. Engelhardt, and Dr. Wil liam H. Kirkpatrick, all of Columbia University; E. Mcrton Coulter, of the University of Georgia ; Ernest W. Nelson, Cornell University; and many other well known educators. In the College of Law the Summer Session will begin June 8 and close July 28. The regular faculty will give the courses. Six hours credit, or one-half of a semster of Law, can be obtained. To meet the demand on the part of schoolmen of Ne braska for training of teachers in the coaching of athletics, special at tention will be given to courses in coaching football, basketball, and the track. Large Teaching Staff The work of the Summer Session will be especially attractive on the field of supervision and administra tion. In order to meet more ade quately "the professional needs of the Nebraska teachers, practically the entire staff of the Teachers College will be on duty doing full work for at least one term. In addition a number of other instructors have been secured. Courses are planned to meet the needs of the teachers of wide experience as well as those who are just entering th profession. The School of Fine Arts is offer ing an atractive schedule. There is also a wide range of courses in the College of Arts "and Sciences, the College of Business Administration, and instruction is offered in the Col lege of Engineering, and the Schoo1 of Journalism.

HOLD INTELLIGENCE TESTS Over 50,000 Students in Mississippi Schools Furnish Surrey Material f More than 50,00 students in Miss issippi elementary schools, high schools, and colleges are submitting to intelligence tests, measures of achievement, and tests for aptitudes in a survey directed by Prof. M. V. O'Shea and other professors in the University of Wisconsin school of education. The survey, when completed, will be more extensive than has ever been carried out in the state school system heretofore. The educational and scientific data will be of extraordi nary value to educators, sociologists, Dsvcholoeists, and social workers. The cost of the survey is being met by Bernard B. Jones, Washington, D. C. a former resident of Mississippi, who has previously given large sums for higher education in Mississippi. A board of twelve consultants, including Professors V. A. C. Hen mon, and John G. Fowlkes, of the University of Wisconsin, are aiding Prof. O'Shea in carrying out the survey and in scoring tabulations and interpretating the results. Prof. O'Shea went to Mississippi last fall, on the invitation of Gov pmor H. L. Whitfield and completed a survey of the state school system. He recommended a thorough appli cation of intelligence tests and also measurements of the educational achievements.

The preliminary races will be run on Saturday afternoon and the finals in the evening. Reports from the East concede Ne braska first in the 75-yard and 300 yard dashes, which will be run by Locke, Missouri Valley champion and winner of these event sat the relays last year. "Choppy" Rhodes is also rated very high at the relays, and is expected to place near the top. The mile and four mile relay team is expected to offer strong competi tion, as they are camposed of men exceptionally fast in the quarter and mile run. Stiff Competition Nebraska will be without the serv ices of Weir in the hurdles, as he is forced to stay at home because of having his tonsils removed early this week. Lewis has also been sick the last few days, but it is hoped that he will be in shape to run in the relays. Krimmelmeyer in the shot and Wir sig in the pole vault will be in compe tition of a very high caliber, for Kuck, Emporia, Kansas, has been putting the shot close to 50 feet, and Harrington, Notre Dame, holds the intercollegiate record in the pole vault. Coach Schulte expressed doubt as to whether he would enter teams in the two mile and medly relays, and it is likely that he will keep the men to events which they have been used to. Thursday evening the squad went through a light work-out in prepara tion for the.meet, and with the ex ception of Weir and Lewis, should be in the best of condition Saturday. The men making the. trip are. Cap tain Locke, Rhodes, Wirsig, Kriemel meyer, Zimmerman, Hein, Daven port, Daily, Wyatt, Lewis, Ross, Ro berts, and Johnson. "Doc" McCIean will accompany the team.

Finance Campaign Work in China Will Begin Next Week Reform of the Chinese written ' language, simplication of its charac ters, is one of the most important steps toward modernizing Chinese civilization. Miss Vera Barger, na tional physical education director in China for whom University of Ne braska women will conduct a finance campaign next week, told the" Grace Coppock staff captains, during her recent visit to the campus. A recent article in the Christian Science Mon itor aNo emphasizes the importance of a new, simple language as a means of taking China out of her "mental stagnation." . "To Chinese ears the cry, 'Down with Confucius' is as strange as the anti-Christian utterances of the com munists in the west," the article reads. "Yet it re-echoed on the streets of Changsha recently, when a street procession was held in pro test against the thralldom which the Chinese language lays upon the peo ple of the country. The more radical reformers charge against this great teacher, who has inspired China for twenty-five centuries, that his teach ings have been the cause of mental stagnation, that the civilization he supported with all his power, was based on monarchy and imperialism now out of style. Miss Barger spoke of the diffi culty Chinese from different sections of the nation experience in trying to speak to each -other. Many of the professors in universities near Rumors of Publishing an Evening Shun Bring Out Denial Statement Few University Night Tickets Still on Sale A few University Night tickets are still left, according to V. Royce West, and may be procured at the Orpheum Theater box of fice. All seats are selling at $1. The curtain will rise promptly at 8:15 o'clock Saturday evening. The dress rehenrsal will be held Saturday afternoon, at which time those taking part in the skits will receive their tickets. FIELD NARROWS IN FRAT GAMES Delta Tau Delta Beats Delta Chi; Delta Upsilon Is Winner CONTINUE ON SATURDAY Yesterday's Results Delta Tau Delta, 23 ; Delta Chi, 9. Delta Upsilon, 29; Phi Delta Theta Saturday's Gaines Kappa Sigma vs. Phi Sigma Kappa, 3 o'clock. Delta Tau Delta vs. Delta Upsi lon, 4 o'clock. The third round of the inter-fraternity basketball tournament was completed Thursday afternoon. The games were both uneven, the Delta Tau Delta outfit walking on Delta Chi, and the Delta Upsilon five swamping the Phi Delta Theta team. In the first half of the game be tween Delta Tau Delta and Delta Chi, the latter made the fight inter esting for the Delts. The score was 10 to 7, the Delta Chi five holding their opponents down, the Delts hav ing a hard time to find the basket. Olson seemed to be working the best for the Delts, while Yoder and Horny were dividing honors for Delta Chi. In the second half the Delts im proved, scoring thirteen points to two for their opponents. Barnett, Delta Chi guard, was put on person al fouls. Aside from the fact that the score was uneven, the game was interesting to watch. Olson was the high point man of the game, and the outstanding performer. He made ten points. Bronson, Delta Tau Delta guard, came up the floor and flipped in two field goals. Yoder was the chief point gainer for Delta Chi. The Delta Tau Delta five advanced to the semi-finals, and will meet the Delta Upsilon team on Saturday. Second Game Uneven The second game was one-sided. The first half ended 3 tol in favor of Delta Upsilon. The sole point scored for the Phi Delts was a free throw by Lindell. Dana "nd Wostou pal were the scoring aces for D. U. in the first half. The latter team seemed able to put the ball through the hoop at will. In the second part, the Phi Delta Theta five attempted: a rally, but it was short-lived. Zim-! mer made a shot from the floor, and Campbell added two more points. (Continued on Page Four.) for Vera Barger's the East coast are furthering the movement to reduce the number of characters in the language, she said, to enable the lower classes to obtain a writing acquaintance with the lan guage more easily. The Christian Science Monitor sus tains her in this statement with: "To gain the requisite familiarity with 10,000 different characters so as to select the exact one, or even to secure 'the power to use those that are in the books of Confucius, is the work of many years of concentra tion. The result is the inevitable illiteracy of practically 90 per cent of the people. This produces an aristocracy of letters which is re sented today by the people who have gained even the rudiments of an edu cation in the modern schools. "Two methods are now advocated by the progressives, who would ad vance the national language. The first of these, first tried by James Yen of the Young Men's Christian association in his 'mass education' movement, tries to preserve the knowledge of the characters by teaching 1,000 of the commonest and producing books and journals with difficult characters eliminated or so seldom used as to prove no obstacle to reading. Thousands in the evening schools have profited by his course." The Grace Coppock drive for funds to support Miss Barger's work in China will be held at the University March 8, 4 and 5. 1926. Sigi A Delta Chi Will Attempt Pre vention of "Yellow Sheet" During University Night at the Orpheum Theater Tomorrow Additional rumors of the publica tion of an Evening Shun to be issued ! University Night, February 27, I brought a statement from Sigma Del ta Chi, national professional journal-. istic fraternity Thursday, that that organization is absolutely opposed to '. the issuance of the banned publica-1 tion and will in no way be responsible j f the "yellow sheet" is distributed, j The following is the formal state ment issued by Sigma Delta Chi on Thursday: i To Whom it May Concern: This organization hereby dis- I claims any connection with, or responsibility for, the publica tion of an Evening Shun, or any similar publication on or about the time of University Night, on February 27, 192C. Sigma Delta Chi. Due to the fact that the scandal mongering journal was, until three years ago, published by the journal istic fraternity, mere rumors of the appearance of such a publication at once threw suspicion on the Sigma Delta Chi, for thirteen years publish er of The Evening Shun. No definite information as to the publication of a scandal sheet this year has ben obtained, and the Uni versity Night committee plans to do everything in its power to prevent distribution at the Orpheum Theater, where the sixteenth annual perform ance will be given Saturday night. A special guard will be detailed to each entrance. The electric-light box will also be closely guarded to pre vent throwing the house into dark ness and distributing the papers. MYSTIC FISH IS HOSTESS AT TEA Weekly Reception in Ellen 'Smith Hall Has Circus Decoration The members of the Mystic Fish, freshman women's honorary organi zation, were the hostesses at the weekly tea given at Ellen Smith Hall on Thursday afternoon from 4 to 6 o'clock. The circus motif of the tea was carried out in the decorations, refreshments and program of the afternoon. Serpentine booths formed the de corations. At one booth refreshme ments consisting of pink lemonade and animal crackers were serves, at another a puppet show, an adapta tion of "The Three Bears" was di rected by Adelene Howland, Florilla Xye, Eloise McMonies and Priscilla Towlc. The show was made by the members of Miss Florence Ostoff's Education 106 class. Katherine Gallagher gave a clown dance and Dorothy Abel a ballet dance. Music for dancing was furnished by Made line Jackson and Olive Fletcher . Attendance Is Good rv f!rijrl At Hiram College, Ohio, chapel is compulsory. But last week a series of church meetings were turned over entirely to student managership. At tendance was voluntary and ample. "It is not altogether insignificant," says the "Hiram Advance" "that no body was observed playfully ripping the veneer off the seats, throwing chalk, or reading any of our moron literature." The experiment may be taken for what it is worth. It shows at least two things: first, that voluntary cha pel will be attended by a fair sized and desirable group of students; sec ond that the greater the degree of student participation, the more at tentive and interested the audience." Chorus Planning Dance on March 6 Plans are being made for a dance to be given by the University Chorus on March 6 in the Art Gallery. The Chorus has grown this semester, and a large turnout is expected. The singers, under the direction of Mrs. Carrie Raymond, have been working on two pieces to be given during the semester. One is the New Life," by Wolf-Ferrasia, an It alian composer known throughout Europe for the beauty of his choral work. The other is "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast," by Coleridge-Taylor, who gives expression in music to a happy moment in the life of the Indians."

HUSKER FIVE PREPARE FOR KANSAS GAME Cagesters Go to Lawrence To morrow for Saturday Night Contest JAYHAWKS HEAD VALLEY Conference Leaders Will Give Scar let and Cream Stiff Com petition Coach Bearg's Husker cagesters are scheduled for only one game this week-end. Saturday the Nebraska squad will journey to Lawrence to clash with the Kansas Jayhawks, the team that is now leading the confer ence. After losing five straight games, the Huskers reversed their style last Saturday night and came through with a victory over the Washington Bears. It is to be remembered that the Bears are the boys that handed both Kansas and Oklahoma defeats earlier in the season. Dope in the Kansas game heavily favors the Jayhawks, but strange things have happened in basket ball. Tuesday night the Kansas team had to extend itself to the limit to win over the Missouri Tigers, a team that has won only three Valley games this season. Nebraska Unsteady Nebraska has played unsteady bas ketball all year, but when the team is right, they form a hard combina tion to beat. It may be that the Huskers will upset the dope and win over Kansas. The five that Coach Bearg used most of the Washington game was the best to exhibit their wares on the Nebraska court this season. Smaha and Beerkle worked well at forward, and Brown and Lawson were good running side by side af the guard positions. Captain Eckstrom was at center, and although he had difficulty in lo cating the basket, he played a good defensive game. It is probable that this is the com bination that will start against the Jayhawkers Saturday night. NEBRASKA MAN IN LEAGUE BASEBALL Byrel Lang, Former Husker Pitching Ace, S.'gns With the San Francisco Seals Another Nebraska man has hit the stride and has made his debu: in ma jor athletics. Byrel Lang, former pitching ace of the University of Ne braska's baseball team, and captain elect of the 1926 team until the sport of baseball was abolished last year, has landed in San Francisco, and is making himself heard on the training grounds of the California Seals. Lang signed with the Seals ab,ut a month ago and has also received of fers to try-out with larger major teams, such as the Boston Red Sox. Lang has played in a number of games, including two or three one and two-hit contests played when Ne braska had baseball. Lang was re garded as the best in the Missotri Valley league from the pitchers point of view; other critics also considered him the best in the Middle West. Reports Favorable Newspapers and men that have had experience in the game of baseball, all seem to report favorably on the former Nebraska athlete. The San Francisco Chronicle states that Lang, the big strapping youth from the University of Nebraska, has decided to report for professional baseball. John Frank, former player m the old Three-Eye League, and now an umpire of baseball games in the smaller towns of Nebraska, who has seen Lang play a number of times, wrote to sign the Nebraska athlete, if possible. Lang refused the offer last year, in order to finish his college work. However, when his favorite sport was dropped from the school's list of athletics, Lang quit. It is possible that he will return to Nebraska some time later to finish his degree, this is the opinion of Ed Hughes, writing in the San Francisco Chronicle. . Lang's record for the last year Is enviable even for the bigger pitchers. Lang pitched thirty-five games and won twenty-eight of them.
