" something more than ordinary lutereal. To Invade the laboratory after auch a long period, to don the white Jacket of tho workmnn. and to continue the grindlnn research Into scientific field, call for something more than Idle thoughts and tired hands. My Work Aa Research rrofeaaor." waa the sub Ject of a talk given laiit night by Chancellor Emer itus Samuel Avery before Sigma XI. After twenty years as Chancellor of the University of Nebraska. Doctor Arery has taken up the task of chemical research that was left unfinished back In 1908. With the same Identical enthusiasm that opened the chap ters to new scientific phenomena twenty years ago, Doctf Avery has again assumed the role of student and scholar In scientific study. In a specially fitted laboratory In Chemistry hall, away from the hurry-scurry of students In the building, In a private laboratory of hiaown, Doctor Avery Is spending a great portion ej-Sis time In the chase for new scientific truths. This Is an en couraging episode In the career of a useful roan. It Is encouraging for the younger student of scien tific phenomena, as well as the younger student In any specialized field. To serve as the Chancellor of the University for twenty years, to meet the duties of that office with reasonable success, and then, upon completion of that strenuous duty to the state, and the Uni versity, to beat a path back to the laboratory this Is an uncommon performance. The encouragement that conies to the student many years younger than Dr. Avery. Is found In the fact that the first love chemistry failed to wane during thst period of vastly different work. If every man could cling to his first chosen life work with equal devotion It seems that It would be a WUi and a more, pleasant world. It Is granted, however, that occasion for change sometimes presents Itself, and that necessity sometimes drives a man from his original choice. But to see a man turn his back upon research projects for twenty years, to remain turned while tho tasks of directing a great univer sity are attended to, and then face about to com plete a project this is Impressive. Old ago does not mean retirement. To see a nan of advanced years, past the period of greatest activity, still plodding forward, still capable of solv ing the problems that will benefit millions, is en couraging for tho younger man. It gives anchorage to life, It assures that life does not consist primarily In a round of futile endeavor, and It gives something of a cross-section of the efforts of a man that has distinguished himself with the University. THE DAILY NMRASKAN A disc is being run over the drill field. It's a wonder the R. O. T. C. men don't have to smooth Off the field. STILL DARK Recently Installed arc-lights on buildings of the central downtown campus have changed a dark, al most spooky campus Into A section of well-lighted and safe avenues of student traffic during the eve ning study hours. The Initial steps to destroy the hazards of a dark campus that has come in for much activity after sunset, have been fruitful. But there Is still a section that Is patronized by students that goes without lighting facilities. Leading from Social Sciences to Teachers col lege Is a comparatively long stretch of sidewalk that Is free from any artificial lighting facilities whatever. Faint glimmers from R street, and from Fourteenth, are the only sources of light for this portion of the campus. This particular walk, cut ting through the heart of the east portion of the campus, is one of the most frequently used by stu dents passing to and from the buildings after night. It is the logical entry to the campus from the east. It serves a portion of the residential section of Lincoln that Is almost entirely populated by stu dents. Sororities, fraternities, rooming ho lses, pri vate homes In which students find dwelling close to the University hundreds of students turn to this particular stretch of walk when coming to the li braries, classes, and meetings on the campus after sunset. They use the same route in returning to their hemes. As the development of the greater University campus continues, this portion of the campus will come in for still more use by students. The second mall, extending across what today Is the drill field, will necessitate some permanent syBtem of lighting, but until that time there Is no reason that students rhculd have to grope along night after night In pass ing to and from the campus buildings. Another arc light, properly placed, or the installation of a series of lights, would add to the convenience of the many students who find It necessary to frequent the cam pus more than during the daylight hours. RECOGNIZING A NEBRASKAN Munro Kr tor's analyils of wDy American unl vertliy students are dUronlenied th the church today leads tho religion and social service section of the Literary IHgeat fur April under the heading "Why Youth Is Maiouttinted with (he Church air. Keier. University of Nebraska student, recently won third place with thla article In a symposium conducted by the Presbyterian Advance to ascertain juat how the church stand In the eyes of collegiate )outh. The review la the Literary Digest, while men tinning the essays of tho first two prize winners In the Presbyterian corneal, emphasizes the views of Mr. Keter. In fact the magazine devotes a gen erous column and a half to Mr. Kezer'a article while the combined comment on the first and second prize ! 1 touftuo! to !is than a column. Comparing the Ideas of John D. Caley. Univer sity of Oregon, who won flrat prize, and I'hlllp Tut tie. University of Illinois, who took second, It would seem from the Digest's review that Mr. Kezer pene trates the iaaue much more deeply and analyses it much more clearly. He criticizes the church as It stand today but offers a constructive program h!rh he believes would reawaken the Interest of youth In that religious organization. Kvcn though youth has forsaken the church, Mr. Kezer declares youth Is not Irreligious. "In general," he writes, "young people today are con cerned about vital spiritual matters but few will ad mit it because It JukI Isn't the collfglate' thing to do." Failure to adapt Itself to nw standards of the new life which permeates tie Intellectual world to day, Mr. 4Xezer gives aa the chief reason why the church has failed to attract youth. Until It will adequately meet the spiritual needs of a more com prehensively trained mentality, Mr. Keter believes the church will continue to prattle over what to do about the vast horde of disinterested young people. On the other hand. Mr. Kezer contends that If the church can recast Ita Ideals aud forget the nar row dogma which the ultraconservatlves as yet have refused to discard. It will find a revived activity of youth In Its program. In developing this theory, Mr. Kezer discusses the transitional period which every university stu dent experiences. He points out that ideals enlarge and expand tremendously with modern education. He asserts that while restless and reckless young folks are unsatisfied with the placid religion of the peaceful church, a adults, stabilized In mind and in spirit, tbey will lurn back to it with new Ideas about its doctrine uud program. Be he right or wrong, Mr. Kezer has stated his sincere belief courageously and forcibly. He has analyzed the problem carefully and has given a thorough diagnosis of the case of youth and the church. On the campus Mr. Kezer has the remarkable faculty of doing many things and doing all of them well. Few students are able to maintain high stan dards and Intensive interest In classroom work and at the same time assume the role of a leader in university activities. In fact few students devote as much time and thought as has Mr. Kezer to either field. To be regarded not only as a prominent leader In college affairs but also as a recognized thinker and a capable student that Is truly a worthwhile achievement in university. Now that sororities have Initiated, a lot of coeds just as well pack up and go home. There will be no more argument. The first dandelion of the year has been discovered. Phi Beta Kappa announcements are always a source of more excuses than praises. As far as some classes are concerned, spring vacation ought to be changed to spring assignments. About the only anxiety that the annual compel is causing It. O. T. C. cadets this time of year is over the looks of the sponsor that has been selected for their company. A lot of students who were anxious to make their mark before leaving the University saw their efforts come to naught last week when the old seats were taken from 'U hall. A STUDENT LOOKS AT PUDUC AFFAIKS By David rellmaa Now that the 4-cent gas tax has gone through, and the state is going to improve some of the roads, maybe they could be persuaded to start on that block In front of Chemistry hall. ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW If a couple of golf balls are missing, pnonograph records taken from the house, strings in the tennis racquet broken, or tire pump borrowed, it is a safe conclusion that there must be fraternity men around. A USEFUL BUILDING Few people realize how useful Morrill hall is to the community and the state as well as to the Uni versity of Nebraska. Following the final winter museum programs in Morrill hall last Sunday university authorities have announced that between 8,000 and 9,000 children at tended meetings held Saturday mornings and Sun day afternoons and approximately 3,000 persons at tended the Sunday afternoon programs for adults. Although these programs will not be continued dur ing the spring and summer Morrill hall will con tinue to remain open from 2 to 6 o'clock on Sunday afternoons. In addition to those who attended the formal programs hundreds of persons visit Morrill hall ever' week. For example on Saturday of this week there were BOO Y. W. C. A. girls attending a con vention in Lincoln, who were shown through the building. Every Sunday many cars, whose license plates Indicate that they are from widely-separated places in eastern, and central Nebraska, are parked about the building. Morrill hall has become a show place second only to the state capital. The dreams of the late Charles H. Morrill of Stromsburg, whose liberality made the $300,00 building possible, and of Dr. E. H. Barbour of the university faculty are near fruition in Morrill hall. Nebraska of prehistoric days confronts the per son visiting the museum. The skeletons of queer animals of ages ago have been unearthed from Ne braska fossil beds and assembled in the museum in front of artistic mural paintings depicting their native habitat. The hall of elephants Is one of the outstanding attractions. Relics cf Indian days, min erals and metals and a hundred and one other ob jects are found in the museum. Also the paintings and statuary on the second and third floor of the hall delight visitors. The place is worth not only one visit but many. Both entertainment and information are to be found there. In line with the almost-universal trait of neglecting worth while things at home, however, many Lincoln people are passing up worthwhile op portunities by failing to spend some trme. at Morrill hall. Lincoln Star William CulU-n Urn Kemp. Co lumbia University's "v rpetual atu dent, died a short time ago, at the rip old age of sevenlyelght.

He has protested to the present secre tary of etate, Mr. ssumson, uu mw innlderine this weighty prob lem. Senator Norrls, capital wit of great repute, has written to secre tary Stlmson, suggesting that the matter be submitted to tho World court for adjudication, and without delay. W W W w vniinr Cov. Huey Long of Lou isiana was Impeached by the house of representatives of the state, amid a wild and melodramatic scene. The state senate nas al ready resolved Itself into a court of impeachment to try the gover nor on the charites preierrea oy the house. The governor Is charged with serious malfeasance In office; among the misdeeds charged are. the threat of tho governor to ex- nose the Drivate affairs of a rival mark's Is less than half of what It at the life of a political opponent. The house chamber was a wild bedlam, during the heated contro- versy, tongues ana nsis iiyuiB freely, In traditional parliamentary fashion. The sub-committee of the house committee of agriculture Is now in session, considering the farm relief measure to be presented to tne SDecial session of congress which will meet soon. The committee has voted unanimously to follow the plan suggested by President Hoover, a plan which follows tne old McNary-Haugen bill in Its es sential principles, except in one Important feature. The old bill would have made the United States government the actual pur chaser of the surplus crops, while the new measure would let thU re main in the hands of private cor porations subsidized aud aided by governmental agencies. The Hoover plan calls for the establishment of a $300,000,000 fund, from which loans will be made to stabilization corporations and co-operatives for handling surplus crops. The new plan does away vith the one fea ture In the old bills to which Presi dent Coolidge so strenuously and courageously objected, that of put ting the government in business. A new immigration bill, called the national origins bill, will soon go Into effect. This bill embodies the final efforts of those who were swept off their feet by th Nordic tidal wave which followed In the wake of the World war. Immedi ately following the war, there was a feeling that the number of immi grants who were streaming Into this country should be restricted, else this country would soon be Jammed with a horde of aliens, to add to our weighty problem of as similation of those foreigners al ready here. Coupled with this inten tion, which was indeed a praise worthy one, and fully Justified by the facts in the situation, there was a desire on the part of many to limit Immigration qualitatively as well es quantitatively. . The aim of the destrlctionisLs was to limit future i in migration principally to those people whose stock founded this country. Pend ing the formulation of a scientific plan, congress adopted the plan of admitting aliens into this country according to ratios based upon the populations In this country In the year 1890. Using the census of 1890 as a basis of calculation, the first, or temporary, plan used, immi grants were admitted to this coun try to the amount of 2 per cent of each lgn stock in this country in 18 'his was designed to limit the number of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe, whose great outpouring of immi grants occurred after 1890, in favoi of the Nordic types from northern and western Europe. The total was limited to about 160,000 per year. But the permanent plan, which was to supplant this makeshift ar rangement, was to be based on the census of 1790, the first in our his tory, so that we could really fix the ratios on national origins, in the true sense of the word. Now the experts have announced their fig ures, after a study of the unsatis factory census of 1790 and they will go Into effrn t ou July 1. Hut Hie ncurt-a are oiiirhat of a boom eiang.

Hon of the advantages which I Im ried away a kernel. Still another, and another, and so on and on al most forever. And he told how each locust csme and carried away a kernel of grain. Although the old king liked stories very well, he now found him self "In a pickle." The srory ap peared to be caiuhle ol' laKtiug longer than he could. He got tired of It and gave the knight lils daugh ter's hand and his kingdom. A never-ending nnrnitlve is going the rounds among the engineers. It concerns engineers. If a beauti ful princess and a king's ranRomo are the prize lo bo accorded the winner, that is not known. The story is about a typical en gineer who started working on a pipe line when he was young and fresh Just out of college. For a few years he worked as an un named helper. Then he became third assistant coupler. After some years of work he was promoted to second assistant. Years more of toil brought to him the lucrative position of first as sistant. Ho was now growing middle aged and the "nozzle" of the pipe was yet far distant. The nozzle was his goal. When mellow middle age was turning to old age he was made head of his department. Still the pipe line stretched away toward the horizon. He must make much progress before he would be "Noz zle Man" or the head of the whole pipe line. Plodding on as Father Time held the hour glass for him to see, last reports gave the age of the now old engineer ns eighty-seven and the distance to the nozzle an ten miles. Ten miles is a long way when onp has to cover every foot of the dis tance with words. Like the locusts who took away the great stores of grain kernel by kernel, the engineer is progressing toward his goal. It i hoped that the story teller will soon be offered the hand of a princess In marriage and the kingdom of a king for his trouble. Then, the queen will do the talking.
