It is an indictment against us that only one out of every ten university students really uses his brain. Superior Student Suffers. Pointing out that the better students should be allowed to work unhampered toward the top the speaker declared, "We have not looked beneath the principle that all men are created equal. There has been too much of the leveling process. "The man with brains has been placed on a basis with mediocrity In our country we must find those people with superior ability and give them opportunity to become leaders of the United States in education and other things."

Rotifers Perish In Heat; Whitney Improvises 'Sun9 A number of heat prostrations were reported Wednesday by Dr. David D. Whitney, proressor oi zoology. Many of his rotifers, i. e., minute and usually microscopic but many celled aquatic animals, with which he has conducted extensive experi ments, perished as a result of the intense heat of the early part of the week. A number survived, however, and are being cared for in a tank which is cooled both externally and internally by running water. Dr. Whitney is very soicitous of the welfare of bis rotifers. He even manufactures sunshine in or der that they may get the best food. The Fourth of July he im provised an electric sun by using a 200 watt light bulb cooled by running water. This "sun" is al lowed to shine on water plants grown in tumblers which surround it It is working satisfactorily and the plants are thriving. The electrio sunshine enables Dr. Whitney to supply his rotifers menu without leaving his office in Bessey hall. PLANT ECOLOGIST ENCIRCLING GLOBE STOPS IN LINCOLN On the last Up of his trip around the world to gather mate rial to write a plant geography, Dr. Otto Slocker of Brcmerhaven Germany, stopped in Lincoln for three days the first of the week As the guest of Dr. J E. Weaver of the department of botany, Dr, Blocker took a number of field trips in his company to learn of prairie vegetation, the salt flats, and conditions where prairies meet forests along rivers and streams. Dr. Stocker sails from New York July 17 for Hamburg and home. He has visited the African deserts, India, eastern Asia, Ari zona, California and Colorado on his 'round-the-world trip. Dr. Linn Shows Muskegon Folk Ways to Save A saving to the taxpayers of Muskegon, Mich., of more than 1100,000 in his one year of service is the unique record of Dr. Henry H. Linn, who received his M. Sc in education from the University of Nebraska In 1922. Dr. Linn, who spent the first part of the week on the campus speaking to education classes in teachers college on business ad ministration in the public schools obtained his Doctor's degree from Columbia university in 1929. Be fore that time he was superin tendent of schools at West Point Neb. At Muskegon, Dr. Linn is as sistant superintendent of schools in charge of business administra tion. He not only supervises pur chasing, repairing and the build ing program of the Muskegon schools but also conducts numer ous research projects to effect sav' ine-s. Believing the school coal bill to be excessive, he had the corps of fifteen trained how to take care of the boilers. Investigating in surance policies he found that nothing had ever been deducted for depreciation on school bulla ings and secured a large refund from insurance companies. Find ing light rates too high, he secured a substantial reduction by tnrea tening to put in a school power plant. The importance of efficient bus! ness management of schools con ducted in relation to the school curriculum is often neglected, Mr, Linn believes. It is very neces sary to co-operate with the super intendent. The business manager, he said, should not be a watch- doe to check the expenditures of the superintendent but must worK with him and regard tne worn in terms of the school program. MUSEUM WORKERS OUSY ARTICULATING AN OLD SKELETON The skeleton of a titanothere, prehistoric animal of the Nebraska prairies, is being articulated in Morrill hall by Henry Reider, as sisted by Frank Bell and John Lamar.

( 00 LAM ORCHESTRA IS CHOSEN TO PLAY FOR MIXER TONIGHT Games Start at 8:30, Dance At 9:30; Admission to Be 10 Cents. Better Floor, More Space, Good Ventilation at Party Promised. Ludlam and his Music Makers will furnish music for the dancing program at the All-Summer School mixer in the women's gymnasium tonight. Announcemnt that Lud lam's orchestra had been secured for the dance was made Thurs day by Prof. E. W. Lantz. chair man of the faculty committee in charge of the mixer. The program of dancing, accord ing to Professor Lantz, will last from 9:30 to 11.30 o'clock. An en tertainment consisting of stunts and group games will begin promptly at 8:30 o'clock. Miss Frances Ash, Herbert D. Gish, and Miss Marjorle Easterbrook will be in charge of the games. Prof. A. R. Congdon will direct the dance. To defray the expense of hiring the orchestra an admission charge of 10 cents will be made. Profes sor Lantz said. At the mixer a week ago Friday the 350 students in attendance voted unanimously to contribute some such small sum for an orchestra. Every effort to have the gym nasium ventilated as completely as possible will be made. Large windows on both the north and south sides of the building, usually kept closed, will be opened to per mit free circulation of air. Both parts of the gymnasium will be opened to avoid congestion and crowding in the front part of the building. The dancing floor for the Friday mixer will be considerably better than for the last party, Professor Lantz declared. The floor will be waxed thoroughly in both the east and west rooms of the gymnasium. Men especially are ured to at tend the mixer, Professor Lantz said. Because there are so many more women than men in summer school he pointed out that it would be necessary to have a large representation of college men to balance the crowd.
