ON RACIAL" EQUALITY
OMAHA WOMAN TALKS
Mrs. Crawford Says Negro
Wants Only Chance
To Advance.
"It is not social equality with
the white race, but an equal op
portunity for advancement that
the negro is seeking," according
to Mrs. Charlotte Crawford of
Omaha. She spoke at a joint
meeting of Sophomore commission
Wednesday evening at 5 o'clock.
Mrs. Crawford stated that there
was no such bug-a-bear in the ne
gro's creed as a desire for social
equality with the white race.
The speaker, who was formerly
i a girl reserve secretary in the
Omaha schools, and worked with
the Y. W. C. A. in Denver, has
done a great deal toward encour
aging efforts for advancement
among her race. She praised the
work done by the interracial com
missions on university campuses,
and considers that they have done
much to bring about the most
beneficial attitude among students
of different races. Almost all of
the universities in the United
' States encourage interracial study
groups, she stated.
Race Advances Rapidly.
According to some, the negro
has a great deal to do in the way
of self-betterment and advance
ment, Mrs. Crawford added, but
we find no othei race which has
made the progress it has made in
the length of time it has had, and
the disadvantages it has had to
overcome. The speaker pointed
out many instances in which ne
groes had risen to high positions
in the field of economics, banking,
conmerce, science and medicine.
There are more than five hundred
negro colleges and normal schools
in America,
"If we understand the negro and
know what be is attempting to
do, and the problems he must face,
we will be more willing and com
petent to help him," Mrs. Craw
ford concluded. "It is not a ques
tion of merit, but one of color that
the negro is constantly bucking up
against."
Aha, Fellow Students! Here's a Real
Deadline-The Old Term Paper Bogie!,
Another deadline is fast ap
proaching when those students
who have been continually post
poning the writing of that term
paper will have a last chance to
redeem themselves in the eyes of
their professors.
As the end of the semester
draws near the usual horde of stu
dents who have always been go
ing to "write it next week" rush
to tha library with a list of refer
ences from which they hope to
produce a masterpiece which will
represent their constant study In
that course.
Although this situation is quite
noticeable at the library at the end
of each semester the rush does not
seem to be so great this year as
it has been In times past, in the
opinion of the library staff. The
more recent tendency of professors
v. v. c a. is goim;
TO COLLECT ALL
OF OLD PLEDGES

A. finance drive held before

Winter Issue Will Include
Brief Stories, Poems
And Features.
The winter number for 1930 of
the Prarie Schooner, to be pub
iinhPrt in the near future, is the 'ast
number of Volume IV. Three
volumes of the magazine have al
ready been published.
According to Dr. L. C. Wim
berly, instructor in English of the
University of Nebraska and editor
of the magazine, this issue will be
filled with works of well Known
men and women from all parts of
the country.
The winter number contains
three stories, "TLe Dappled tawn"
by William March of New York
City; "Along a Sandy Road." by
Ellen Bishop of Omaha; and "A

Other Articles.
In addition to the usual number

the English department, and Joe
Demine-. student in the university,
are other contributors of short ar
ticles. The quarterly will contain
the usual feature sections "Cross
roads," "Bibliana," and "Ox C&rt."
seems to be to place the term pa
per at some earlier date, possibly
before the holidays, so that the
work will not pile up at a time
when final examinations are star
ing students in the face with ven
geance. The reference department of the
university library, which is a gauge
cf term paper assignments, re
ports a moderately heavy run upon
the material on file there. The
daily records of the department
show that each day some new
group of students comes in asking
for a special set of references for
their particular assignment. Rec
ords there would tend to indicate
that In the teachers college the
final day was reached this week
as the patrons this week in that
department were largely students
of that college.

ON RUSHING MEETS
Eight Sets of Rulings on
Rush Week Discussed
By Oroup Today.
The rushing rules committee ot
the Interfraternity council will
meet at the Delta Tau Delta bouse
today to formulate a completely
new set of ru&hing rules to be sub
mitted to the council at its meet
ing next Tuesday, according to
Charles Lawlor, chairman of the
committee. Other members of the
committee are Fred Grau and Ed
Erodkey.
A set of eight rulings were .dis
cussed by the Interfraternity coun
cil at its meeting this week but
no definite action was taken be
cause of several objections to the
provisions.
"The main purpose of these
rules," Lawlor said yesterday, "is
to make certain that every rusher
is permitted to keep his dates and
prevent the unfair tactics resorted
to by some organizations during
rush week."
Definite action will have to be
taken soon, according to Lawlor,
because fraternities are making
plans for rushing next fall and we
are asking them to await the
formulation of rules by the coun
cil. There Is some talk of having
duplicate cards printed to be used
by the council.

SAFETY COMMITTEE
EXPLAINS FIRST AID
Power Company Men Show
How to Save Lives
After Accidents.
SPEAK TO ENGINEERS
E. M. Kennedy, captain of the
first aid team of the Iowa-Nebraska
Light and Power company,
and four members of the safety
committee gave a first aid demon
stration and talk at the joint meet
ing cf the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers, American
Institute of Electrical Engineers,
American Society of Civil Engi
neers, and American Society of
Agricultural Engineers held in the
mechanical engineering building at
7:30 last night. The four commit
tee members consisted of B. V.
Shepherd. P. T. Balrd. E. R.
Ketchum and L E. Cunningham.
Mr. Kennedy dejeribed the vari
ous first aid bandages while the
committee members demonstrated
with triangular bandages. The
methods for stopping the flow of
blood In arterial and venous bleed
ing were shown and the locations
of the main vessels were pointed
out. The use of the tourniquet
was also described.
The setting and bandaging of
simple and compound fractures
was described and shown tor vari
ous bones. Also the methods of
lifting and carrying an injured
person were demonstrated. Artifi
cial respiration ior a arownea per
son or one burned by an electric
current was shown.
The purpose of first aid is not
meant to infringe on the work of
the doctor, according to Mr. Ken
nedy, but to carry on what work
must be dona immediately to save
the life of the person or to cut
down the pain until tne doctor ar
rives. Often in case or a shock or
drowning, a person who has quit
breathing can be brought back to
life by immediate first aid and ar
tificial respiration.
The Agricultural Engineers can
celed their scheduled meeting to
attend the demonstration.

for ultimate success in the world.
The essays were limited to one
thousand words. They will be
Judged by a group of three.
Harold Holts, former secretary
of the university alumni associa
tion and T. A. Leadley, of the Ne
braska Farmer, acted aa Judgea

STORICAL SOCIETY
May Not Have Money for
Moving for Years Yet,
Reports Curator.
The Nebraska State Hlstorl :al
society collection will probably be
moved into the new quarters pro
vided for It in the dome of the
state capltol sometime within
the next five years according to
E.E. BlaAman, curator of the
museum.
When asked concerning tho re
port that the collection was to be
moved from its present location
in the basement of the library to
the capitol, Mr. Blackman said
that the place had been provided
but that the $4000 wh'ch would be
required to move V.ie collection
was yet forthcor Eg and that
there was very i.ttlc chance of it's
being provided within three years.
Present Home too Small.
The present quarters are very
Inadequate in size for the collec
tion and a move to the new would
be very helpful to the proper care
of the collection. Mr. Blackman
said that he hoped that the change
might be made next summer but
saw very little chance of that be
ing done.
The money for the proposed
move must come from the state
legislature. The legislature will
not meet again until almost a year
from now. Since the contracts
must be let and the money pro
vided for furnishing the rooms for
the collection, it is probable that
the money for the actual moving
will not be appropriated until the
following session of the legisla
ture. This will make it at least
three years before the moving can
begin, unless the legislature takes
unexpected action in favor of the
society.
