Nebraska Professors Find
Method of Locating
Special Talent
.. . Atv-nieleot-special interest to
teachers and of special Importance
to students of chemistry is pub
lished in the January Issue of the
Journal of Chemical Education.
.The article deals with the deter
mination of special aptitude ' for
rnemistry in students beginning
the study. It was written by B.
Clifford Hendricks, associate pro
fessor of chemistry at the Univer
sity of Nebraska and P. G. John-
son. supervisor of teachers' science.
I tata was gathered from many
sources, including tests given to
freshman registering for chemistry
st the University of Nebraska,
which seemed to indicate that par
ticular aptitude for chemistry Is
shown by the tests although ordi
nary ability is not Indicated.
The article says that the tests
do locate the superior student.
"Once located, its Is possible for
his teacher to make special efforts
to secure an achievement from
him commensurate with his abil

Loyalty Is the quality which

the theme of a talk on the subject
"What You Can Do for Your Uni

Forum luncheon, Wednesday noon,
January 23. at the Nebraskan
hotel.
"Loyalty," said Mr. HolU, "is a
fundamental thing in life. As a
student, you should be loyal to
your University. Merely attend
ing football games and rallies
hardly touches on the real mean
ing of "oyalty to your University.
Such loyalty as is expected and de
served by your institution Includes
a willingness to think seriously of
university problems, and to do all
possible to aid in solving them.
Student Body Greatest Asset .
"The student body is the great
est asset of the University of Ne

should prompt each student to do
all possible for it Right now, you
can, and should, help to bring
about a better understanding be
tween the University and the gen

they do not understand all that is

Chancellor E. A. Burnett and
Regent Earl Cllne were the main
speakers at a dinner given Tues
day night at the College of Agricul

their wives. Presentation of the
needs of the University of Ne
braska were the topics upon which
Chancellor Burnett and Mr. Cllne
spoke.
"In presenting the cause of the
University, we do not make a com
plaint," the chancellor stated, "the
legislature has treated us well and
has ordinarily been generous. If it
was not genorous it was at least
sympathetic."
Burnett Outlines Work
Chancellor Burnett outlined the
work of the University throughout
the last ten years, pointing out the
difficulties of adjustment and re
construction through which the
University hss had to pass since
the war. He explained- that all of
this work had materially cut the
allowance of the University.
"Kyery one recognises the neces
sity of supporting the penitentiary,
the insane asylum and other state
Institutions for human wasUvge

that we sk an increased approp

Schidte Unearths New Phase Which
Calls for Remodeling Track Shoes
Track Mentor -Would Place
Spikes Differently for
Every Style of Runner
And For Each Event
(By Gale WhitneyK '
Coach Henry F. Shulte. with his
endless research in the science of
the cinder track, has unearthed a
new phase whlh he has begun to
develop, and -which is causing; con
siderable interest among track men
and track fans.
Ever man on the team, says
Coach Shulte, has a stride all his
own. And as a result coacn snuue
has decided to design track shoes
for every varsity track prodlgee.
The shoes which have been used
are all made the same. The spikes
are set in every shoe in the same
position; hurdlers' shoes having
two spikes in the heel.
According to Coach Shulte, the
shoes must fit the man not only in
size and width, but in accordance
with his Individual stride and event.
In view of this fact. Coach Shulte
has received several doien pairs of
splkeless' shoes from the J. T. Rid
den Shoe Co., of Chicago. He will
pick out shoes to fit each man and
then proceed to mark the insert
spot for each spike.
Spike Arrangement
For 50 yard and 100 yard dash
men he will place the toe spikes
some what nearer the toe so as to
hold the maximum amount of thrust
as the man rises out of the holes.
For the hurdlers he baa placed thr
Bplkes in the heels as usual, but

MEETING FOR TODAY
Students Are Summoned to
Act Upon Proposed
Amendments
FIVE O'CLOCK IS HOUR
Two proposed amendments to
the constitution of the Student
Council will be submitted to a
mass meeting of students in So
cial Sciences auditorium at 5
o'clock this afternoon. These
amendments will first be submit
ted ,1a. the .meeting . before . being
piaceu on an siecuuu unuui.
One of the amendments proposes
a change in aVticle eleven, relat
ing to methods of amending the
constitution. It is the belief of the
Student Council that the amend
ment will remedy, defects in the
present procedure of revision. The
proposal follows:
Would Change Article Eleven
"Amendments to this constitu
tion or revisions of it may be sub
mitted for adoption to the student
body at any regular student elec
tion. Amendments may be sub
mitted by majority vote of the
Student Council or by petition
from one hundred students to the
Student Council, provided that the
amendment is so submitted ten
days prior to the election. A ma
jority vote cast is sufficient for
the passage of amendment.
The second proposal would
change completely article seven of
the constitution, which deals with
meetings of the newly elected
council, and the election of offi
cers. Provisions of the amend
ment call for a meeting of the
newly elected council ten days
after election. Under the proposed
amendment the retiring president
would be given power to call the
meeting, instead of the senior re
ceiving the highest number of
votes.
It is also proposed that a presi
dent, vice president, and secretary
and treasurer be elected in place
of a chairman and vice chairman.
More Self -Government Is Plea
Of Interfraternity Councilors
Opinions expressed by members
of the Interfraternity council con
cerning that organization in inter
views yesterday, presented ideas
that differ from Tuesday's state
ments. One member objected to the crit
icism that was being given to the
organisation by one of his fellow
councllmen. Others added to the
opinion voiced yesterday that the
future success or failure of the In
terfraternity council rests with the
fraternities themselves. Regular
meetings, were recommended, and
self-government endorsed.
"I'm In favor of self-government."
stated George Holt, '30, of
Lincoln, representing Phi Sigma
Kappa. "However, I do not think
that the criticism that baa been
heaped upon the Interfraternity
council'! organisation la Justifiable.
The council has attempted to elim
inate or strengthen the weak
points in Its makeup. I attribute
the apparent failure of the coun

Plans Are Revealed at Pan
Hellenic Meeting Held
Yesterday
Plans "lor the establishment of, a
dormitory system at the Univer
sity of Nebraska were discussed by
Chancellor E. A. Burnett at the
meeting of the Pan-Hellenic council
held yesterday afternoon. His talk
was made at the request of tbe ad
visory boad of the council.
explaining me advantages oi
close home relations and the ad
vantages of association, the chan
cellor explained that nearly 600 of
the 800 freshman girls are now In
boarding houses. The requiring of
freshman girls to stay in university
houses is surely eight or ten years
off, unless regulated by the legisla
ture; he said.
In speaking of the recommenda
tions of Governor Weaver In regard
to university appropriations, tbe
chancellor stated . that only about
half of the funds recommended for
maintenance had been approved.
In place of the one and a quarter
million requested, only $180,000
had been recommended, with only
$80,000 for dormitories.
Prlvite Capital Proposed
A measure, he said, had been
proposed for the building of dorm-
atories by private capital. This
however. Is not very satisfactory
unless subsidized.:
The first dormitory to-be built
will probably be located at the
northeast corner of Sixteenth and
R. It will house about 200, and will
cost between $1,000 and $1,200 per
student occupant.
Chancellor Burnett expressed his
desire to get before the people of
the state, information about the
objectivea of the University, and to
correct the Impression that the
university receives a large part of
the tax money. In Lincoln, he said,
out of $28.64 In taxes, only 64 cents
goes to the University, while at
North Platte only 64 cents out of
$60 went to that fund. Other towns,
he said, ran much lower.

NEW COUNCIL PLAN
Would Organize Inter-Greek
Group Similiar to the
Business Clubs
In a letter to the editor of The
Daily Nebraskan, Edgar J. Bo
schult suggests that a new plan
be adopted' by, the Interfraternity
council in -regard to its present in
effectiveness and organization.
Boschult briefly outlined the
;plan "that he has ft" mind. It wouhl
make the council skin to the Ro
tary, Ki wants, ' Linns, and other
clubs and with the same relation
ship to the fraternities that these
organizations have to the business
firms represented in their mem
bership. An entirely new feature would
be the weekly noon-day luncheon,
which each fraternity's representa
tive would attend. Mr. Boschult
points out that1 if this were held
on Monday noons, the problems
discussed could be taken up in the
evening fraternity meeting. His
letter follows:
"To the Editor:
"The present discussion in the
columns of The Daily Nebraskan
on the ineffectiveness of the or
ganization of tbe Interfraternity
council has brought forth a ques
tion and problem not at all inu
la the minds of many fraternity
men. During my six ysars con
nection as a representative either
active or alumni the lethargy anil
inaction of the Interfraternity
council has always been a glaring
defect. Numerous proposals for
improvement have been made from
time to time, but which as we see
have hardly remedied conditions.
"I believe with many others that
our Interfraternity council has a
real function to perform which It.
alone can do. Fraternities have
problems and responsibilities that
cannot ba handled except by their
united action through some sort of
an organization like the Interfrat
ernity council. We have responsi
bilities to each other that are very
vital to each of us. An argument
for the necessity of an Interfrat
ernity council Is however not what
is needed, but rather an effective
plan oi organization under which
these things may be accomplished.
Should Be Like Rotary Club
