speakers' bureau of Nebraska gave
a .'.hort talk on the Republican
platform.
"The Republican party has never
in its seventy-two years of exist

ment from which it had to recede"
stated Mr. Anderson in beginning
his talk. "That is a record to be
proud of."
The platforms of the Republican
and Democratic parties were com
pared by Mr. Anderson. He said
that the Democrats were critical
in their declarations rather than
constructive. They pointed out the
scandal that had been going on
under Republican government, but
Mr. Anderson stated, they must
realize that the Republican party,
under the direction of President
Coolidge, made definite stepa to
clear up the matter as soon as
they knew of It. Mr. Anderson also

OF
IS
Room Now Provided With
Ample Light and
Ventilation
MANY CHANGES MADE
The remodeling and rearranging
of the College of Law library is
now virtually completed. The ex
tensive work recently done on the
room is a vast Improvement over
former conditions, and makes the
library a place conducive to effi
cient study.
To really appreciate the present
condition of the library. It is nec
essary to recall the original ar
rangement. As built In 1914, there
were no windows, with the conse
quent absence of natural light and
proper ventilation.
The purpose of the designers was
evidently to exclude all worldly
distractions, but they failed to con
sider the necessity for air and
light. In fact, according to George
E. Price, law librarian, the room
resembled an "old fashioned hay
mow" more than anything else.
Today the library is comparable
to any in point of comfort as well
as content. The stacks have been
moved out from the walls and
thirty-two windows put In. The
books are now placed on shelves
running east and west, with ample
space between them to allow the
placing of table for study. There
are aisles between the windows
and the book shelves, and a large
aisle running the length of the
room between the shelves. Offices
bave also been built in to accom
modate faculty members and the
editorial staff of the Law bulletin.
The library as it is now arranged
can accommodate two hundred and
twenty-five students, which allows
a comfortable margin on the pres
ent registration. At the present
time there are 19,000 law books,
and 7,000 books containing public
documents. The collection includes
every report from every court of
appeals In the United States, the
statutes of all the states, and re
ports from English courts.
The library is thoroughly equip
ped for the law student as well as
for research work. Library hours 1
are from eight In the morning un
til ten in the evening. Two assist- j
ants are employed to eliminate the
necessity of closing at sny time :

Amelita Galli-Curci In Interview
Famous Singer
Some Secrets
Great Success
Discloses o-
of Her
By Catherine Hanson
She was standing in the middle
of the floor In her suite of rooms
at the Cornhusker hotel when I
was ushered Into her presence.
Graciously this "belle of song" re
ceived me. Her lithe figure was
arrayed In a modest school-girl
frock of light tan with a brightly
colored red bandana 'kerchief for
a collar. To say she Is "little"
does not express the diminutlve
ness of this star of the musical
world. Petite Is a better word for
her, and I must not forget to say
that she Is also charming. What
impressed me most about her was
her eyes large, black eyes that
seemed to read Into your very
soul; and her hair, you'd be sur
prised, was bobbed and drawn back
In school-girl fashion.
"Comment vous poitez-vous?" I
asked.
"Tres bien, merci," she respond
ed. Then we both laughed and seated
ourselves.
Galli-Curci speaks French and
Italian fluently. She sings in sev
eral different languages. A piano
In her suite Indicated that she had
been practicing.
"What Is the most beautiful
thing in life to you, Madam?" I
asked her. Immediately her cool
reserve faded away and she ar
wered: "Home."
Galli-Curci Philosophizes
Home to Galli-Curci is a little
retreat In the Casklll mountains.
"It is In the mountains," she said,
"away from all the world, away
from the hurrying crowds, and I
love It!" The eyes of the famous
singer looked out of the window.
Just beyond was the horizon a
thin, grey line tinged with crimson.
"And children?" I asked. "An art
ist must sacrifice something," she
answered. "My songs are my chil
dren! I sing them so I may make
the world happy."
"And do you really think that
there is happiness in the world,
j Madam T"
"Oh, yes! Surely, there is hap-
plness In the world. People make
j their own happiness! If they are
i not happy well it is their own
fault."

Students Know Little of Sational
Affairs; Now They Use Yardsticks
If a stranger should wander into
room 105 of University hail today
he would see a sirange sight. The
room is packed with students with
yardsticks an ' newspapers In their
handr. Carefully they are measur
ing the length of each column and
recording It on a sheet of paper.
No, they're no idiots; Just Journ
alism students. They are ou an as
signment In the news writing course
to measure separately all the ma
terial in a newspaper. It includes
advertising, news, features, editor
ial matter, comics, illustrations
land, in fact, everything but the
I headlines.
The assignment, according to
i the instructor, is not to make tbem
I become efficient la the use of the
i foot rule or the yard stick but to
! have them become acquainted with
; a newspaper.
Clssscs Are Questioned

Thursday evening. October 25, an

be held in the garden room of the
Lincoln hotel. This banquet, which
occurs at the end of the first day
, convention, will serve to
cause the delegates to become bet-
ter acquainted wim cacu uum-i.
Talks will be given by editorial and
advertising chairman of the asso
ciation. An inspecion trip will be made
Saturday morning. Oct. 27. when
the delegates will be taken through

I has devised this measuring of con-
tents as a means oi ihhih
class become acquainted with the
new s paper.
A survey recently made In the
newswrlting class Indicated very
clearly that very few students read
national or political news. Further
questioning iu class bears out that
fact.
"Who is the republican candi
date for United States senator
from Nebraska for this election?"
was a question Mr. Walker asked
the class. The first five requests
for an answer met only blank
faces and Indifferent sbrugs. Fin
ally he found one who knew. "It
is Mr. Howell." Most of them ktow
of Mr. Howell only as the football
captain. There was an even longer
spell down before someone asser
ted that Mr. Metcalfe waa the
democratic candidate for tie por
tion. Measuring the news bas also a
secondary motive In determining
the percentage of kinds of material
in the different papers. The School
of Journalism has a reading room
at l iilversliy hall 105 containing
a large number of periodicals from
i all parts of the country.
