BARB GROUP Nebraska Graduate Invents New Unbreakable Phonograph Record Thanks to the efforts of a former University of Nebraska student, the oldtime fragile wax phonograph record will soon be relegated to the scrap heap. In its place one will buy discs which baby brother may use for cart wheels when they are not being played. They may also be used without damage to their reproduc ing qualities as weapons of offense instead of dishes at the height of party gaiety. These new durlum resin records are unbreakable, of infinite dura bility and may be folded in two and carried in the inside coat pocket. They are the invention of Hal Beans, who grew up in Omaha and secured bis bachelor and mas ter's degrees at the University of Nebraska in the late '90's.

Mattson, who is a senior in the college of law, was accosted by a man with a gun, while walking to his rooming house in south Lin coln at about 9 o'clock Monday evening. Though the stranger did not piesent a particularly prepos sessing appearance, the gun did not look in the least inviting, ac cording to Mattson. The man proceeded to remove the young lawyer's watch and pocketbook, containing about $2.82 He was about to continue on his way after concluding these busi ness details, but Vattson. not be ing the ordinary sort of victim, de tained him and entered into conversation.

KOREAN WOMAN SAYS Mrs. Kim Credits Rise Her Sex to Influence of Christianity. of LONGED TO COME TO U. S. "You have no idea what an in spiration the American woman has been to us Korean women. de clared Mrs. Induk P. Kim enthusi astically before sophomore com mission Wednesday in Ellen Smith hall. "In Korea we feel aa if we were nearly negative values, while here in America you are distinctly positive values." Mrs. Kim, a na tive Korean, left her home, her husband and two small children to realize a lifelong ambition, to come to America and sec American women, in order that she might be better able to relieve the plight of her countrywomen. "Christianity has done more than any other single factor to life the burden under which thc Korean women have labored for hundreds of years, she declared. No Chris tian man now has more than one wife. Men seem to have acquired new., conceptions of their sisters and wives, and realize that they have been treating them unjustly. That is, Christian men," she cor rected. "Polygamy is still and ac cepted institution in most of the upper-class homes," she added re gretfully. Tells of Women's Plight. Mrs. Kim described in detail the I extent of the household duties to which every Korean woman is subjected. Most of them are never able to leave their homes, accord ing to the speaker. When Mrs. Kim was six years old her mother dressed her as a boy in order that she might derive the benefit of at least a few years' education, as girls were not ex pected to attend schools. For two years, until after she was eight years oio, sue went to the bovs scnooi several miles from her home. 1'iom tne time I was quite young, Mrs. Kim continued. "I was determined to see American women for myself. My philosophy u3 always ueen "wnere there a a will there's a wav,' and 'God helns those who help themselves.' After I was married I had the responsi bility of my childien. mv mother- in-law. my home, and partial sup pot r of my family, but my deter mination lost none of its fire," she laughed, "and here I am." Receives a Scholarship. Mrs. Kim received a scholarship from Wesleyan college in Macon, Ga., where she was a student for two years. She has also received help from many other persons, one a blind man who gave here $5 a month for seven years. She has been in this country for three years and is now traveling in support of thc Student Volunteer movement. She hopes to return to China cither this year or next, where she hopc3 to teach reading and writing dur ing the day and give illustrated lectures on housekeeping and hy giene in the evenings. She plans to return to Lincoln for another short stay, early in March. Hokuf, Star Husker Unusual Record By Art Mitchell. Five game3 without a cinla personal foul! That is the record of Steve Hokuf.

Official niching rules relative to the rushing of Lincoln high school men have been requested by many fraternities.

His performance on the basket ball court is considered unujual by sports observers, who point out that very few guards go for as long as five games without foul ing. Those in the know claim that much of the performance lies in the Crete youth's attitude toward the game, his perpetually clean conduct while on the court. Will Go Out For Track. Baketbal season is drawing to a close, and as it does, the big Crete lad is preparing to start out for track and possibly earn his third letter of the year. If the schedule were so arranged, it is claimed that he could letter in baseball and track both this spring, for he is said to be equally adept at either sport. Coaches and fans alike predict a great career for Hokuf, who has gotten off to a good start with one letter already in his possession and another one assured by his work in bas'tball. He is said to be clever at practically all of the events in track, and may be used almost anywhere on the team.
