COUSINS SPEAKS ON EDUCATION FOR LIBERATION Says Inherent Capabilities Stifled By Emphasis On . Specialization. . MENTIONS CHICAGO IDEA New University Would Give Opportunity for Self Expression. Education for liberation, Dr. James Cousins, famed Irish poet and educator, told students at a convocation In the Temple Thurs day, means education for the lib eration of our inherent capabilities which are at present stifled by the emphasis on specialization, especi ally apparent in the American sys tem of education. The coordination of a completely developed human being with the individual's environment towards a fully rounded education is the aim towards which Dr. Cousins is working.' Cites Chicago Plan. Dr. Cousins cited the new curric ulum which will be used at the University of Chicago. Under this plan each student would study eight hours a week on each of five fields of knowledge: social science, natural science, fine art, language and literature, and philosophy and religion. A well rounded education an education for liberation, free ing the Inherent capacities of the student through opportunity for self expression would be the pur pose of the plan. Dr. Cousins woulrl change the Chicago plan by plac ing religion with fine art. As to religion, he declared that from his knowledge gained in teaching in schools of India where students of four religions attend, that antagonism is false to the aspirations of the individual to ward the Great Life of the uni verse. He described a united wor ship of students of four religions in an Indian school where he taught. Educate for Peace. Before 1914 the cry of educators was, "If you want to preserve peace,' educate!" Then came the great war the supreme folly of this" planet of misery involving the most highly educated nations, while those with less education were only by chance sometimes dragged in. Apparently some thing was wrong with the doctrine of educating to preserve peace. It was not the doctrine of edu cation itself which was at fault. It was the kind of education which (Continued on Page 3.) IWSPlS AT ART EXHIBITION Cousins Is Surprised By Crowd at Showing of Indian Paintings. HELD IN MORRILL HALL Expressing surprise at the large crowd, Dr. James Cousins, Irish poet, spoke at an exhibition of In dian art yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock in Morrill hall, gallery B. Dr. Cousins stated that he had about half of his collection with him in Lincoln and that the large attendance at the exhibition might cause him to leave the pictures un til this morning. "One always notices," he said, "the calm and quiet which pre vails when one comes upon an ex hibition of Indian art. There is no struggle and no death." Dr. Cou sins explained this by showing 'how the Indians believe that death is only a phase of life and that struggle is futile. No Female Forms. "Indian art does not manifest Itself In the female form, while al most all other arts make the most of it," he declared. At one time a n w magazine was to be begun In India for which an artist drew a picture of a goddess. Authorities new magazine was to be begun ture to go through the mails be cause it was obscene. Dr. Cousins said, "Bathing beauties are not ob scene, they are only seen." Dr. Cousins stated that the In dian artists used only water colors, as they felt that oil was vulgar. The shades which they managed to attain in their water color pic tures make some of the paintings , look almost like pastel work. BARB FACTION STATEMENT Owing to the misconception arising over the statements 't The Dally Nebraskan concerning the sentiments of the barbs regaling dormitories, the Barb Faction makes the following statement: First it does not claim to state positively what barb sentiment is But as the only organized non-fratcrnity group except the Barb counci' and having access to more barbs than any individual, it feels that its statements regarding such sentiment should carry weigj t- Tnere can be no question over dormitories for men as there seems to be little possibility of this for at least ten years. 2 If dormitories for men were built there would be no more curtailment of privileges than exist at present In fraternity houses. 3. It would provide an excellent opportunity to organize for athletics and other purposes. ' 4 It would provide a much needed social contact. 5 The dormitories, we have been informed by the authorities, would not have communal sleeping rooms. Each two or three in dividual would have a separate room. 6 Cheaper and much more satisfactory rooms would be pro vided' In addition to better facilities. We believe that when the situation is explained many of the barbs who have expressed themselves as opposng dormitories will chanre their views. We believe that a full majority of barbs should ivnrti ils soon as possible, dormitories for both men and women, aa c , DELPHIN NASH, President of Barb Faction. IS'otice in German is Invitation to Party Passing the bulletin board of the department of Gcrmanios In Andrews hall students read: "Weihnachtsfelcr: lieder, splele, erfrlschungen.

TO COMPETE IN DENVER Fifteen junior men are bidding for positions on the junior live stock judging team at the college of agriculture. Of these, five men and one alternate will be chosen to represent the university at the Denver livestock show on Jan. 15. Prel.minary - tryouts will be held Saturday, Dec. 20, the day before vacation, according to Ft. R. Thalman who will coach the team. Eight men will then be picked for further training. Ten Classes. Ten classes will be judged dur ing these .tryouts. There will be four classes inthe cattle division and two each in the horse, hog, and sheep sections. This is simi lar to the contests at Denver. Shortly before school is re sumed after the holiday season, the eight men coming out on top in the preliminary contests will be put through further tryouts, Thalman stated. The team mem bers will then be selected, but their identities will not be made known until the day before leav ing for the show. . Not A Simple Matter. Selecting a judging squad, ac cording to the coach, is not a sim ple matter. There are many things to be taken into consideration. A reckoning is made of each stu dent's work during the - entire year, as well as his showing dur ing the several contests that are held for eliminations. A student holding a good rec ord during the year, but failing to qualify in the preliminary tryouts can sometimes advance into the final tryouts, it was intimated. This is possible and necessary, Thalman said, because all judges have their off days. Fine Points. "Even when it comes to judg ing at the shows," the coach re lated "it is often difficult to ap point an alternate or to mention the man who will lead the team. Judging comes down to fine points in these national contests." Nebraska has made remarkable records at the Denver show in re cent years. Last year the team placed second in the contests. Howard Ratekjn was third high individual among all contests and Cyril Winkler was high man in the judging of breeding stock. A year before that the squad ranked third and for four consec utive years previous to that year the Nebraska team walked off with first honors. Selleck Plans New System of Game Tickets John Selleck, business manager of athletics at Nebraska is work ing out a plan of general admis sion tickets to football and basket ball games which will take care of the many fans who can't pay the higher prices now asked. . The present plan of having one universal price for tickets was adopted because of the fear that holders of the less desirable seats would change for one of the higher priced tickets at the first oppor tunity when he was once inside the stadium. , According to John Bentley s col n ho i.inmln Journal, the new idea would be of great bene fit to many athletic fans who do ,.t foi ihat thev can pay the prices now asked. Under proper supervision or usnern buu w " vcrsity athletic authorities, this nn..ir,rr ohniit Miilrf be overcome, says Bentley, and the new plan of scaling the prices of the tickets would be entirely feasible.

AUTHORITIES APPROVE BURNETT THINKS INVESTMENT IN IS IS WISE Proposed Project to Cost $500,000; $100,000 Needed to Launch. TO HELP BARB GIRLS Claim Opportunities of So rority Coeds Would Be Given Others. That the University of Ne braska could not make a wiser in vestment than the const inaction of dormitories was the opinion of Chancellor E. A. Burnett in an in terview yesterday. The proposed dormitory project will cost $500, 000. The chancellor said that $100, 000 of the needed funds was left from the $200,000 granted by the 1929 legislature. According to the proposed plan the legislature is expected to ap propriate one-third of the money needed and the other two-thirds will be bonded. According to the chancellor these bonds will be paid off in forty years from the pro ceeds accumulated from the dor mitory. $100,000 Needed. He said that the legislature would have to appropriate only $100,000 to insure the launching of the project since the school had already purchased a lot. The com pletion of the project, the chancel lor said, would give barb girls liv ing in the dorm all the opportuni ties now accorded to sorority members. According to the chancellor no one will be compelled to reside in the dormitory the first year. He said that after the first two years freshman women who did not live with their parents in Lincoln, or did not work for their room and rooms will be located on each floor, a sorority might be required to live in the dormitory. If deferred pledging is adopted at Nebraska all non-employed outstate girls would be required to reside in the dormitory. Open to Upperclasswomen. The building will also be open to upperclasswomen who wish to make their homes in the dormi tory. All women who live in the proposed building will be required to take their meals in it. The blue prints call for three large dining rooms on the first floor of the (Continued on Page 3.) ABOUT $2,300 TAKEN IN AT MILITARY BALL No Definite Check Made; Expenses Thought to Be About $1,600. Approximately $2300 was taken in from tickets sold for the Mili tary Ball with expenses that will run in the neighborhood of $1600, according to a recent estimate made by the military department. No definite check has been made yet. The money obtained from the annual ball is used from year to year to meet the expenses of the rifle team on its trips throughout the country, and as loans to the various military organizations, ac cording to authorities. There is at present no other source of income to meet the ex nennen of the members of the rifle team, they say. Other military or ganizations may Dorrow money from this fund when necessary. Considering Loan Fund. A plan is now being considered to create a loan from which needy students may acquire money suf ficient to pay the deposit neces sary in checking out uniforms. The ball, although a financial suc cess, was a great disappointment to Colonel Oury, staff officials re-por-". Frcpecting to witness an almost complete uniform dress among the men and finding more attendants in civilian clothes than army clothes was the cause for this disappointment. It is hoped by the department that in the following years stu dents of basic drill will wear their uniforms and mrke the affair an almost strictly military one. Home Ec Expert Puts Taboo on F ruit Cakes Grandma Used to Make Modern Christmas desserts offer a sharp contrast in their simplicity to the elaborate and complicated yuletide puddings of a half a cen tury ago, says Miriam J.

"An 1886 Christmas pudding had nineteen different ingredients," Miss Williams says, "Including fruits, nuts, suet, brandy, sherry and eight eggs. It required ten hours of steaming and waa served with the proverbial blazing rum sauce. "Modern meal planning," Miss Williams adds, "demands a simple dessert with a heavy main course. Naturally, on special occasions like Christmas the traditional mince pie may be classed as a necessity by some housewives.

WILL MEET NEXT WEEK Philomelete society has been founded by the recently estab lished freshman honorary as a new organization sponsored by them to promote wider acquaintanceship among freshman women and to bring together those interested in hobbies according to members of Mortar Board who early last fall innovated the new freshman hon orary. One hundred and twenty-five girls have been sent invitations to the first meeting of the society which is to be held next week. The object of the Philomoletes, which means love of hobbies, is to bring together girls interested in similar bobbies. Established Last Fall. The new freshman honorary es tablished last fall by Mortar Board is sponsoring the organization. This honorary has petitioned Sig ma Epsilon Sigma for a charter and will probably be installed sometime next week as a national member of the honorary. Each member of the honorary society automatically becomes chairman of one of the ten hobby groups of Philomelete which includes poetry, drama, music, interior decoration, book of the month, handicraft, charm school, sewing, games and sports. These groups under the leadership of the freshman honor ary members will hold their first meeting next week to make plans for the year, and, will meet every other week thereafter. Originated at Oregon. Philomeletes was originated at Oregon university and the spon soring of this society is the proj ect of the freshman honorary group who will found the Philo meletes as a permanent society on the campus. All girls who did not receive invitations and wish to be come members of Philomelete are urged to give their names to any member of Mortar Board. Identification Cards Required at Dance Class Identification cards must be pre sented in order to secure entrance to the social dancing club which is being sponsored by the woman's physical education department on Saturday evening from 7 "50 until 8.30 o'clock in Grant Memorial hall.

They expect only those who did not know how to dance to attend the classes, according to Blossom McDade and Ruth Hatfield, lead ers of the social committee. More girls will be engaged to assist in giving lessons which are being outlined by the committee under the supervision of Miss Be atrice Richardson. WEATHER FORECAST Weather for Friday prob ably fair with no decided change In temperature. BARB COUNCIL STATEMENT In answer to several requests that the Barb council express barb sentiment on dormitories we offer the following: We do not claim that this is an all barb sentiment but it does express the sentiments of a large number of barbs, as expressed to ti. council. We believe that barbs do favor dormitories for both men and women. The council after d'scussirg the question viewed the plans of the proposed dormitory and were informed by the chancellor's office that dorms for men are not contemplated for many years. In the dormitory for girls the same rules would be in operation as are the present in all houses. The only difference would be better rooms wih better facilities at the same price. A few of the conveniences of the proposed building are listed below: 1. A large party room with facilities for mixed parties. 2. A recreation room for the students. 3. On each floor, a kitchenette to allow girls to enjoy light refreshments among their own groups. 4. Tennis courts will be provided for the use of the girls in tb dormitory. . 5. Special rooms, modernly equipped for electrical share pooSff and other beauty aids. 6. A large auditorium and stage. This provides for the unorganized students aa opportunity for social contact which has before been denied them. After examining the true facts of the case and inquiring among numerous barbs the council states that there is a great barb sentimert FOR dormitories. A LAN WILLIAMS, President Barb Council. .
