Collins Tells of Bird Specimens and
Habits in Weekly Speech Over Radio
Prof. F- G- Collin8' a8Blatant cur
tor of the museum, gave a weekly.
Ijk over the radio, Thursday, on the
ubJect of birds, stressing the hope of
ha museum to eventually have In
!he bird gallery not only specimens
t all the birds of this country but
!lo their eggs and nests. So far
ihere are about fifty nests of various
Inkds, but they are still a long ways
from their goal.
Mr. Assendorf of Lincoln, made a
welcome addition to the collection by
Lsenting three new nests. One nest
n which the museum is particularly
interested in securing Is that of a
Kingfisher, whose nest is made up
largely of fish bones, the partially
digested bones of his victims.
Oriola Nest
One of the most beautiful thoughts
,bout bird nests Is that expressed
by Longfellow when he calls them
half way houses on the road to heav
en. The nests Mr. Assenford brought
to wens once lhe homes or orioles.
Oriole nests are truly characteristic
0f the nests built by birds. People
who think birds build their nests as
a matter of instinct and never alter
them are wrong, said Mr. Collins.
Birda like human beings change their
habits as their conditions are changed.
Even if orioles are sometimes mis
chevious and destructive, opening
pods and eating young peas, and
damaging pods in search of honey, we
must remember that they do kill an
enormous number of insects. This
should make the birds our friends.
He gave here some very interesting
facts about the somewhat promiscu
ous yet shameless life of the cow
bird.
You can find all the family of the
Icteridae in the museum,, among
which there are the Bobolinks, the
sophomore star sent English, the
Missouri vaulter, to defeat last week.
The team is in good shape except
for Captain Wyatt's bad arch which
has improved greatly.

ter, Minn., gave an interesting talk
in which ho explained the cause of
prohibition," continued Dean Thomp
son. He said that people have gone
in for wines and beer, ale or gin,
only in preference to pure water.
When their water was purified, they
turned to prohibition. People were
saved from extinction in France and
Italy by the drinking of billions of
gallons of wine. They would have
died if they had had to drink their
(polluted water. The introduction of
pure water in our country has been
followed by a temperance move
ment, and finally by prohibition.
"It was also stated at the meet
ing," concluded uean xnompson,
"that the scientist used to be con
sidered a 'queer fish.' But civiliza

pends on science. The chemist is no
longer a 'moss-back.' "

and so left a day in advance of the
other Husker entries. However, the
Nebraska leader has declared no in
tentions of taking part in this gruel
ing contest, and it is believed he
will save his strength for the relay
events Saturday. Coach Schulte and
Janulewicz accompanied these two
men to make arrangements for the
hnusinc and Darticwatwn of the
team while in Lawrence.
Griffin, gritty little distance man
who pushed Keith, Valley indoor dis
tance champion, hard in the 2-mile
race of the recent Oklahoma-Husker
dual meet, has been added to the Ne
braska squad and will run in the
3.000 meter race. This bring3 the
team total to twenty-six, since Flem
ing and Benbrook who' were on the
doubtful list are going to make the
trip. Seven Nebraska track fans will
drive the squad to Lawrence today.

Coach Schulte has his charges en
tered in every evnt except the sprint

latter event and at present is one oi

conference schools will present
strong representation in the meet
with Oklahoma. Missouri, Kansas and
Nebraska furnishing the bulk of the
Valley hopefuls.
With Trumble, Krause, and Ar

Oklahoma, running in tne iu-yaru
high hurdle event, the Valle? teams
should capture some points in this

Chancellor Burnett pointed out
that the University expects its alumni
to accept the responsibilities of lead
ership in the several professions en
tered; to realize their responsibility
to the public, inasmuch as the tax
payers spend a great deal of money
on the public education ; to return af
fection for their alma mater, the in
stitution which gave you these oppor
tunities. 'You will come back to re
unions. Your memory will run back
to the years you spent in it. And
you will have regard for its interests.'
Further, the Chancellor stressed the
factj that alumni are expected to
support the University in its needs;

Pup Tents on Drill Field May Have
Resembled Coops, But Far From It
(By Alan Miner)
No. they haven't moved the chick-
nes In from the College of Agricul
ture campus even if it did look that
way yesterday morning when the drill
field was covered with little canvas
houses that looked like chicken
COOPS. IX Was only V" tsuew team
ing to Bet up pup tents. If they are
called pup tents that doesn't mean
that they are for the dogs. No, the
boys must learn to put them up in
case they are out and need shelter.
A passer-by could note all kind oi
expressions as the boys were working.
The captain was always ready with
his written directions in case the tent
didn't fit as it should. From the
way the boys talked and the way
ance in the life of the state, to re
member the needs of the University.
Mr. Ramsey quoted the association
constitution for engendering service
of alumni to the University as his
text, and proclaimed that it is "try
ing to build a University spirit care
fully to develop the school which
gave us our education."
In speaking for thousands of alum
ni, Mr. Ramsey declared that "we
want you to help make Round-Up
a success, to foster the spirit of those
who proctded you and I." He drew
the point that without the University
there could be ro individual organiza
tion, and that it therefore behooved
each organization strengthened by
its support, the institution for which
each primarily existed.
It is the chance of seeing their
old college chums that draws the,
alumni back, declared Mr. Holtz. in
presenting the Dix Reunion Plan. He
urged the groups to especially invite
their alumni of the reunion classes
of '90, '91, '92, '93, and of '09, '10,
'11, and '12, and of the twenty- year
honor class, '08. By so doing, you
will greatly increase the inducement
for individual return.
they looked one would think that the
tents went together something like
a Chinese puzzle.
Perhaps the captains nad vivid re
membrainces of the time that they
had to do the same thing. Now was
their chance to see some one else la
bor. And when the sweet co-cdpacscd
by and saw. her shiek laboring over
his abode he could not dash into the
tent and hide because above him
stood the captain with his grade book.
The drill field seems to be used
for everything from piling dirt, and
holding rallies, to cutting across to
classes, but we do hope that the R.
O. T. C. does not deem it necessary
to have one of those sham battles
that we see in the movies.
