NEBRASKA "SCORES" AGAIN
The 1928 Rhodes Scholar from Nebraska has been
announced, and once again, the man chosen for the
post is a student of the University. Robert Lasch, sen
dor of the college of arts and sciences, is the new
Rhodes Scholar, and will enter Oxford university dn
October, 1928, to begin the three-year period of study
and travel provided for under the terms of the will
of Cecil Rhodes, donor of the scholarships.
Two men of outstanding ability nave Deen cnosen
every three years from each state, to pursue indepen
dent work along selective lines. Selections are so timed
that thirty-two Rhodes scholars are chosen each
year. The distinction is a great honor, one which re
flects credit on the institution at which the man ds a
student, and of course to the man himself.
It is true, however, that the average student is
suspicious of the word "scholar," and especially
"Rhodes scholar," because of the tremendous mental
brilliance such a term invariably infers. It is also true
that in the past, selections have tended too much to
emphasize brains alone, with almost a nawow dis
regard to other necessary qualities in the candidate.
It is refreshing, therefore, to note that the newest
choice is a University man of undo- bted ability and
wide interests. Besides earning for himself the name
of a splendid student, Mr. Lasch is also an editor of
. the Prairie Schooner, manager of the University News
Service, and contributor to both The Daily Nebraskan
and the Lincoln Star. It is such a background as this
that will make the opportunity a priceless one for him,
more so than if his interests were solely in his studies.
He plans to major in philosophy, and will enter
the Honor School of Philosophy, Politics, and Econ
omics in Oxford. "It was certainly unexpected," he ad
mitted, "and will mean a lot to me, especially, since
I have never been east of Chicago, nor west of Kear
ney, Neb." He is deeply interested also in the valuable
opportunity provided for wido European travel, in con
junction with the independent work to be pursued at
the University. Funds are provided with which the
RUodes scholar is expected to travel, only a fixed pro
portion of the time being spent in actual work at
Oxford.
The University and The Daily Nebraskan sincerely
congratulate Mr. Lasch upon the honor which has been
granted him, and which he most certainly deserves.
ABOUT MR. JENSEN
Anton H. Jensen, former instructor in romance
languages at this University, has given The Daily Ne
braskan a letter addressed to the Board of Regents,
in which he appeals to that body "to reverse the policy
that 'might makes right, and to' replace it with one
of human understanding". -
Mr. Jensen is planning to prepare a report for
the next legislature (in 1929) "which will contain a
recommendation for an dnvestigation of the1 withdraw
als of professors H. B. Alexander, F. C. Harwood, J. A.
Rice and instructor M. M. Racer and a comprehen
sive plan for University reorganization, capable of im
mediate adoption, and following in general the plan
advocated by Dr. H. B. Alexander".
a
The remainder of Mr. Jensen's letter merely reit
erates the charges he made against the Board of Re
gents last year. It is not libelous, but it has no news
value other than that explained above.
This fact is only mentioned because last year Mr.
Jensen involved this paper in a never-ending discussion
concerning news suppression. The Daily Nebraskan will
print any news matter which is not libelous or of a
"personal campaign" nature, but dt does not wish to
establish the precedent of using its columns for every
person who has a bone to pick with some member of
the faculty unless there is need for the argument.

Daily Nebraskan readers are cordially invited to contri

To the Editor:
The Inter-fraternity Council has adopted four
resolutions dealing with the proposed prohibition of
student cars. These resolutions have been submitted
to the Board of Regents in the hope that that body will
be softened in its attitude toward the question. At
least that is the most logical construction to be placed
upon the action of the Council.
Now there is no doubt that if student use of cars
is prohibited great hardship will be suffered by many
students. It seems to me that the Board of Regents is
merely emulating the blind struggles of other univer
sities. This criticism is intended to be constructive. The
Board of Regents is no doubt considering this action
from the best of motives. But I cannot understand why
the Inter-fraternity Council took the action it did. Does
the council believe prohibition of student cars will
help? And if it will help what will it help? Now may
I hazard the naive guess that all this proposed and des
perate action is intended to make students of the Uni
versity students? Or is it a moral problem to be solved?
What has education come to if the University
must take unto itself the duties of maid-servant 'and
nurse. Now there we have a critical point. If men and
women cannot take care of themselves by the time
they are old enough to come to university whose fault
is it? It is not far wrong to name the parents at this
time. And in the vast majority of cases these same
men and women are still dependent upon dad for a
living. So if dad wants to provide his son or daughter
with a car can the boy or girl be blamed for accepting
it?
The point is that the parents have far more con
trol over this situation than the Board of Regents. The
Regents are attempting to treat a situation from the
South end. But as long as dad insists that son go to
college regardless of whether he belongs there, then
banning of student cars will avail but little.

Few Factories Established
Onlr a few modern factories have
been established in southern China.
There are sawmills, but the peanut
oil factories, flour mills, paper mills,
and umbrella factories, are all small
concerns where most of the labor is
done by hand.
"The general youth movement of
China, which has made itself felt
during the past year ani a half
throughout the world, had its incep
tion in South China. One cannot pre
dict the future, but given time and a
little more experience, the Chinese
youths will surely be successful in
their attempt to' place their own vast
country on a par wdth the other great
countries of the world."

"I cannot conceive of what might
happen to us were we to refrain
from all use of "perhaps'," Professor
Barbour continued. Science must
always keep away from the dogmatic

contrast the theories of Chamberlain
and some of his contemporaries, and
brought out the fact that while many
are, as yet, unproved, they are,
nevertheless, valuable to science,
and science is interested in all the
ories, until they are definitely disproved.

statistics are not available but the
committee reports that most of the
returned questionnaires show a fairly
complete examination dn the eastern
and far western schools. That the
schools in the South ,lag considerably
behind those of the' Middle West is
the general impression given the
committee by the returns.
One of the interesting discoveries
is that health education in the grades
is receiving much more attention at
the present time than physical exam
inations in the senior high school.
Many schools although examinations
are required do not use the results of
the examination to limit the extra
curricular activities of the less able
students.
Nebraska has less than a dozen
high schools carrying out an organ
ized program of physical education
for girls, and not all of these have
instituted the machinery for physical
examinations.
