Famished Coeds Appease Hunger With
Bars and Free Smiles of 'Candy Kids'
Sheldon and Dale Work in
Front of Women' 3 Gym
Where 'Big Gays Used
To Peddle Sweet Goods
"Have some candy?" Two small
hoys offtr baskets of candy bars
for sale, and smiles free, to every
one who passes Memorial hall In
the late afternoon. Sheldon, the
blue-eyed "candy kid," is an ex
perienced business man of nine
years. Although he has Just re
cently set up shop for the spring
this is the third year that he has
sold candy, peanuts, and gum on
the campus.
Dale, the brown-eyed saleman, Is
younger and has been selling for
about & year. The two boys work
together and each sale Is an im
portant event.
"Some big guys were out here
first," Sheldon says in telling of
his business problems, "but now
we're here. I think people buy
more in the winter than when it
gets warm, lots more."
Salesmen Like Conversation
Every day school is "workday"
'or the "candy kids." They like to
alk to their customers and the
customers like to talk to them.
They tell of one steady customer
they used to have. "I used to take
a peanutbar over to him at Bessey
hall every day at' a certain time
but now he can't get out of lab,"
Sheldon lamented, looking up
with his bright blue eyes and
brushing his light hair off his fore
bead. "An annkA- , : " TW, T n AAaA

largo task, 'but -the crew of car
penters feel certain they will have
it in readiness by opera time next
week.
The seat sale for the perform

peeled, exceeding the amount sold
at the same time last year. Seat
saie on the one dollar sections will
start Monday. Those wishing to
procure seats In these sections are
urged to get them early in the

Professor Cites Necessity
Of Broad Development
In Beliefs
PEOPLE MODIFY VIEWS
Citing the manner In which the
typical historian looks at religion,
Dr. Oldfather, of the department
of history, summarized the various
steps in the development of the
spiritual phase of life, at the
World Forum meeting Wednesday
noon at the Nebraskan hotel.
"As the historian looks back
over the past," explained Profes
sor Oldfather, "He is struck by
the enormous part played by reli
gious forces in human progress.
At first the early orientals looked
upon as something above' rea-son
something JK'bieh -could not be ex
plained. The Greeks, later on. at
Ucked life without any revealed
book,' they were guided only by
their own minds. They made their
own religion. The progress they
made Is afituiiitilnng.''
Most historians, according to Dr.
Oldfather, believe that each gen
eration makes Its own religion, to
a very great extent. The beliefs
of each decade are changed by
economic and social conditions.
Manmade in the first generation
, religion has achieved tho author
ity of antiquity by the second, but
I the old Ideas are modified as they
are handed down through the
years.
Religion is Development.
"The typical historian maintain
that religion Is a development," he
continued. "The niblc of the race
Is written slowly, a bit by each
generation. I believe in a religion
that looks to the future, not In
one that is limited by creeds or
doctrines to past accomplishments
and progress.
"Intolerance is one of the things
we must watch most carefully iu
In our attitude toward other
people. To go out and tell other
people that they must believe as I
do would seem to me narrow and
intolerant."
Doctor Oldfather expressed the
belief that organized religion
would continue to exist-that
some form of it would always re
main. He was diss&tisfied with the
altitude of the young people and
the educated class, however, be
cause they were staying outside,
and were not in close contact with
religious developments.
"They are losing contact with
organized religion," he concluded.
"I hope they will not remain out
of it. It will harm the next genera
tion as well as themselves."
Working GirVs
State Is Cited
By Shallcross
"The s'andard of living seems to
Imply '.he ideal plane a person
wishes to live on rather than the
actual plane," declared Ruth Shall
cross in an address broadcast from
the University of Nebraska radio
station through KFAB yesterday.
"The Standard of Living of Work
ing Girls in Lincoln as Shown Pri
marily by Their Wages," was the
subject of her address.
Miss Shallcross quoted from 100
questions which she submitted to
working girls in Lincola. The low
est wage received by any was nine
dollars and the highest was twenty-nine
dollars. Thirty out of the
hundred said their wages were ade
quate to live on while fifty per cent
said that their wages were not ade
quate to live on. The other answers
were made up of "barely," "I do,"
or "could use more."
"Dancing and the movies seemed
to be the most popular forms of
amusement," said Miss Shallcross.
"Thirteen percent spe it money lor
educational purposes."
Out of the hundred working girls
questioned, forty-four did not live
at home and three lived at home
but supported themselves entirely.
The remainder .lived it home and
used their wages for spending
money rather than as a means of
livelihood.

Reports of games In the recent
Nebraska slate high school basket
ball tournament, which, when they
are printed, would occupy approxi
mately 170 columns of newspaper
space, were sent out to the weekly
pr.pera of the state by the Univer
sity of Nebraska School of Journal
ism. The news bureau set up by the
School of Journalism covered the
games In the .tournament for 214
papers. To do this, students of the
school were called into service, 104
to act and reporters and 23 to act
as copyholders.
The total number of papers and
the amount of copy turned out this
year was less than formerly, due
to the decrease in the size of the
tournament. Additional coverage
was given by the school this year,
howevrr-by- sending to county seat
papers reports of progress of all
teams entered In the tourney from
their respective counties.
William McGaffin. Polk, wrote

English Instructor Tells
About Changes iR Novel
During Recent Lecture in
University Broadcast
"The most significant shift' of
emphasis in subject matter from
the prose fiction of yesterday to
the prose fiction of today is a shift
in interest from plot to conscious
ness," stated Rowse B. Wilcox, in
structor in English in the Univer
sity, in a recent radio address on
"The Novel of Consciousness,"
broadcast from the University of
Nebraska station thru KFAB.
"Whether a novel or short story
is Interesting has been the out
stand basis for evaluation in the
past. Plot, as a result, has been
the factor most emphasized and
analyzed in the study of literature.
"The story of today, however,
has almost eliminated plot as a
consideration, for the reason that
it is not life-like. What life, says
the modern writer, may be divided
into a matter of introductions, bod
ies and conclusions. When, In any
person's life, may the last short
story be said to have finished and
tbe next to have begun?
"But If life is not a convenient
matter of plots, what in life is of
significance? Writers feol that
consciousness has more governing
power over what a person will do
when facing a situation Involving
consequences than does any other
thing and consciousness has thus
far become their paramount Inter
est." Mr. Wilcox explained that tho
first' great novelist of conscious
ness in English was Kerry James.
James is classified by Jjseph Con
rad as "ths historian of fino con
sciences." Ho is not, however, a
popular writer, nor Is he widely
read. Mr. Wilcox said that lie aua
ljzes and presents the human con
science in so superfine a manner
that he bewilders the mind nour
ished on commonplace melodrama,
and In bewildering It, loses it
"James wants richer, fuller life
for people. We are getting cheated,
he seems to be saying. He brings
his characters through his novels
by a succession of shocks to a
larger realization of what this com
plex world of affairs and people
really means."
