MONTREAL, Quebec (IP) A
marble fountain, symbolic of the
friendship of the United States for
Canada, is to be unveiled on the
campus of McGill university here
Baturday, Nov. 1, with elaborate
ceremonies.
The fountain, designed by Ger

composed of about 100 prominent
cltisens of the United States, in
cluding many college presidents,
business men, writers, and army

14 Schools Issue Annual Which Has
No Optional Purchase as Cornhusker
By JACK ERICK80N
At Nebraska an annual such as
the Cornhusker, is something
which students are offered an op
portunity to buy. At fourteen other
large universities an annual is
something which must be purchas
ed, sometimes to the tune of seven
or eight silver dollars.
Statistics received at the office
of the Cornhusker yearbook show
that in a census taken in fifty
seven schools there are two uni
versities which isuc a ten dollar
annual, seven schools which make
a seven dollar aasesment for the
yearbook, and thirty colleges which
publish a six dollar book.
Twenty one higher educational
Institutions are on a par with Neb
raska in that they charge five dol
lars for their annual, while five
colleges are able to put out a four
dollar book. In each of the latter

ON COED SMOKING

throughout the state."
This point of view was also ex
pressed by Miss Jean Rathburn, a
member of the A. W. S. board.
"Public opinion controls the elec
tions; the elections control the leg
islature, and the legislature con-
trots the doling out of university
appropriations."
Concensus of opinion among A.
W. S. members interviewed seems
to be that the people throughout
the state are decidedly opposed to
any such practice as coed smoking.
Hence, it is said, the board decided
not to meddle, especially since the
University of Nebraska is a state
controlled institution.
According to Miss Gaylord, "In
eastern schools, the question is a
very old one. People have become
accustomed to seeing the women
smoke. Here, it is a new question
too new a situation. People must
have time to adjust themselves to
it, before it can be openely ap
proved without raising violent op
position throughout the state.
New Idea. I
"Without saying anything about
the question of its advisability, its
good or bad features, one thing
seems clear. Any new idea re
quires that the public be educated
to it before it can be dealt with,
one way or the other, fairly and
without prejulice."
These objections were dis
counted by Miss Frances Holyoke,
Theta Sigma Phi and the Delta
Gamma.
Said Miss Holyoke: "The idea
that coed smoking rooms would
shock the people of the state and
rouse violent opposition is a big
mistake. Nebraskans are not hicks.
They are not long whiskered, coun
trified, narrow minded folk. They
know what this score is.
"Other states in the middlewest
have smoking rooms for women
s t u d e nts Colorado, Minnesota,
Missouri and others. Nebraskans
are capable of considering this
question without prejudice. The
A. W. S. board should take a defi
nite stand on the matter."
Miss Amenua Heppner. dean of
women, while expresing the desire
not to interfere in the matter at
all, said that in her opinion the
agitation for coed smoking rooms
was being carried by a small min
ority. Few Interested.
"If the time comes," she said,
"when nearly all women students
smoke, then smoking rooms will
undoubtedly be adopted. At pres
ent, there seem to be very few
of the twenty-five hundred girls
in the university who do smoke
and fewer still who are interested
in this question at all."
"The state is not ready for such
a move. If, eventually, a majority
should approve, or at least not
condemn coed smoking, then it
might be permitted. That is an
other question."
"In the day of my predecessor,
Miss Graham," Dean Heppner
continued, "Dancing was barred
upon the campus. Yet- after a
while everybody had learned to
dance. Where it had been regard
ed as almost a sin, later it be'
came a universal practice. Then
dances were held upon the cam
pus, in the former gymnasium. In
spite of a few objectors, the prac
tice was not condemnea by the
people in general.
"S i m i 1 a r I y," she concluded,
"most of the women in eastern
schools smoke. It is a generally
accepted practice, and consequent
ly there are no serious objections
to women students smoking. In
our own school, and even in some
eastern institutions, mowever, the
practice is banned.
Situation Varies.
"In Nebraska, we have a very
different, situation from that char
acteristic in the east. The idea of
coed smoking rooms is too new
upon our own campus, and par
ticular throughout the state. It
may come eventually, but the peo
ple of Nebraska in general are not
now accustomed to seeing girls
smoke, and would condemn such
a practice. Until the situation
changes, the idea of instituting
smoking rooms for girls is very
Impractical.'
While neither Miss Heppner nor
Dr. Thompson,, dean of men, took
anl definite steps in dealing with
the question officially, and neither
approved nor condemned the idea,
Dean Thompson wrote to approxi
mately thirty other universities

cases, however, the school Is much
smaller and the book is propor
tionately less thorough In its make
up. Greeks Lucky.
Male and female Greek-letter
lodges on this campus are lucky
for if they were subjected to the
plan folowed on fourty-eight other
campuses they would be paying
from $3000 to $00.00 a page for
space in tho annual. At Nebraska
the Cornhusker starr uses a plan
whereby a charge of $50.00 is
made for two full pages in the
yearbook.
All In all it would seem as if the
students here arc getting a num
ber of breaks. They are not asked
to buy an annual, instead they are
given the voluntary option of pur
chasing one of the five best an
nuals in America, so chosen by a
national association of college
yearbooks.
Rollins V Has no
Lectures, Profs
Or Assignments
A college, without lectures, pro
fessors or assignments, has always
been to many students their ideal
of a university. However, the in
teresting fact is that there are col
leges that do not have these things.
At Rollins university, the tutoi
system of education is used. There
are no lectures, and students are
signed up for courses, but their
work is directed by tutors. These
merely act as guides to the stu
dents in the reading and investiga
tion of some subject.
Such a system is ideal in that
there are no professors lecturing
just to fill up the hour. If no one
has anything to say, either stu
dents or faculty, they don't say it
and thus much waste time is elim
inated. and colleges, requesting informa
tion in their handling of the ques
tion. The answers were not agreed.
Many of the schools had ruled in
favor of smoking rooms for wo
men, many were opposed to it,
even forbidding any women student
to smoke at all, and some were
undecided.
Concensus of advisory opinion
seemed to be that coed smoking
rooms would give university life
in general a bad name, and would
result in much unfavorable pub
licity over the state. Most
of the A. W. S. board members
(students) were of the same
opinion but many women students
took their stand at the other ex
reme. WASHINGTON MAY
VOTE ON USING
BIBLE AS TEXT
OLYMPIA, Wash. (IP) It is
thought possible that a constitu
tional amendment may be submit
ted to Washington voters in the
near future, calling for the permis
sion to use the Bible as a textbook
in the public schools of the state.
Since Washington became a
state, religious education in com
mon schools has been forbidden by
the constitution. The question has
been taken through the courts by
interested individuals and organi
zations. Geology Specimens of

tinue its research in the vicinity
of Red Lodge in southern Montana,
where members of the department
made important geological finds
during the past summer."
The first dinosaur eggs ever
found on this continent were dis
covered there this summer.
Detailed reports are now being

FIRST CAMPUS BUILDING.
University hall is the original
University of Nebraska building.
Built shortl yafter the founding of
the school in 1869, it was onguv
ally three stories in height, sur
mounted by a bell tower. AH the
classes were held witnln its wans.
Within the past decade the con
dition of the building has de
manded the removal of the upper
floors and the substitution of a
flat roof. Campus building plans
call for its destruction within a
few years.
Investigation carried on by Louis
I. Dublin, statistician for the Met
ropolitan Life Insurance company,
has led to the discovery that col
lege-bred men live longer on the
average than other men.
One of the new courses on the
curriculum of the University of
California is one on investments.
The students will learn how to in
vest money in the stock market
without taking too big a loss.

For Students.
MADISON. Wis. Charging the

with wasting time, materials, and

delivered before the Association of
Deans and Directors of Summer
Sessions Friday, maintained that

In denouncing the methods used
in the institutions of higher educa
tion, Pres. Glenn Frank recom
mended that "universities should
adopt some modern invention such

College Program Inflated.
Pres. Frank told the association
that he had though of employing
the talking film in the university
ever since it was perfected by the
scientists, but he further added
that the university was not con
templating the adoption of such a
plan.
"The entire program in Ameri
can universities is vastly over-Inflated.
It is so over-emphasized
that if we were to try the same
thing on the ouUlde world we
would be fired from our Jobs In
short order," the president stated.
"Talkies" Are Solution.
"The difficulty with so-called
higher education today is that it is
merely a merchandising of infor
mation. We haven't any genuine
education in the sense of training
minds to meet problems," Presi
dent Frank maintained in his criti
cism of the present method of edu
cation employed in the universities
and colleges of this country.
"If, however, such merchandis
ing Is desired, then, universities
should adapt some modern inven
tion such as the talking film to its
needs. With this device Informa
tion might be dispensed in the
manner of other commodities, ua
speaker stated In offering his so
lution to the problem.

Dofjs Moved From Pharmacy Annex
To Their Old Quarters in Attic; Will
Silence the Class Disturbing Yelps
A happy conclusion to the aglta
tion against the yelping whelps
and their deeper voiced papas and
mamas of the pharmacy college
menagerie who have caused &reat
discomfiture to students and In
structors in neighboring buildings
was reached when the canine mem
bers of the zoo were removed to
their former quarters in the attic
of the Pharmacy building.
The solution, however, can hard
ly be regarded as happy from the
point of view of the dogs them
selves, for the ancient garret of
the old building Is far Inferior to
the opulent quarters of the Annex
where the animals received ultra
violet ray treatments and had
teir quarters steam pressure
cleaned daily.
Annex Superior.
Thought the dogs will no longer
receive the benefits of modern lux
uries provided in their former resi
dence, all noiseless animals main
tained by the druggists will con
tinue to take their daily light
treatments in their well heated,
lighted, and ventilated cages. As
Dean Lyman admitted, the annex
Is far superior In construction to
any part of the old bi'ilding, and
it may be that the cats and rab
bits will some day be forced to
vacate their hall In favor of some
. L . I. ,,

members who can turn over their
less attractive offices to the an
imals. As to the dogs, their accomoda

them from cold blasts of winter

and shield them from the scorch'

all to confine their noisy com
plaints within the walls of the old

selves, there is little distinction be
tween annex and attic so long; as
dally food is forthcoming.
Change Permanent.
Dean Lyman asserts that the
change will be permanent even
though the dogs may suffer some
from the heat during the summer.
Summer school students in partic
ular will reap the benefits from
the removal of the dogs, for during
colder weather wnen classroom
windows are closed, only the loud
est barks penetrated into the halls
of learning. In any case, however,
it is certain that students and fac
ulty will welcome the disappear
