Says Hutchins Educational
Plan Is Great Step
For Colleges.
How President Robert Maynard
Hutchins has modernized education
by his latest innovation at the Uni
versity of Chicago is the subject
of the editorial by Patricia Reilly
Foster in the March issuo of a na
tional magazine. Mrs. Foster calls
attention to the fact that:
"The playgrounds of America,
the colleges and universities re
served for the pleasures of youth
in this country, wherein they may
dwell in luxury for four years, be
come expert drinkers and dancers
and dillettantes in the grand man
ner, these country clubs of the edu
cational world are about to be done
over so that any fellow with the
strange hallucination that he would
like to go to school to learn some
thing may now be permitted to do
so.
"One of the most forward steps
in education in this country has
just been taken, the studious per
son who wishes to apply himself
to research or a persuai of the arts
will now be permitted to go ahead
as fast as possible and even be
given a degree at the end of a
year if he can do the four year's
work in that time.
"President Hutchins has brought
freedom to education and if your
little loafing game has been spoiled
you can blame him." '

Barbs Not Entered
In Race For Class
Heads Says Leader
Because of the fact that
campus political officers are
lacking in power, the barb po
litical faction will not enter
candidates In the coming stu
dent election.
It It the firm belief of the
barbs that the election are a
watte of time and that their
outcome hat no bearing upon
camput activities. The barbt,
1 1 a n d I n g for constructive
campus politics, will ttay out
of ttudent electloni until pow
ers are given to the officer.
At a mere suggestion, it
would have been an excellent
thing to have given the con
trol of the Junior-Senior prom
to the clatt officer! of the
junior and senior classes. Du
ties of thit type would make
the officet more desirable and
the clan pretidency more than
a name.
The barbt In refuting to
participate In thit election
wish to point out how foolish
it it to ttrive for a potition
that hat no power attached to
it. Under the preeent plan,
these officet are "political

PLAYEHS TO END RUN
OF 'LADIESOF JURY'
Dramatic Group Will Give
Ballard's Play Last
Times Saturday.
CHARACTERS ARE GOOD
By Roseline Pizer.
University Players will give
their last performances of "Ladies
of the Jury" tomorrow afternoon
and evening in the Temple theater.
Fred Ballard's clever comedy has
been well received by Nebraskans
and has played to capacity houses
every night of the week s run.
The . story of "Ladies of the
Jury" centers about Mrs. Crane's
efforts to convince the other eleven
members of the Jury on which she
is serving that the defendant is
"Not Guilty." The first act takes
place in the courtroom, and the
last two are devoted to the squab
ble which takes place in the jury
. oom it lasts for two days and
two nights.
Mrs. Crane has never served on
a jury before and is entirely ignor
ant of court procedure and rules.
Her behavior in court is absurd
and' intensely amusing. The
mistakes of Mrs. Crane's conduct
and the correction thereof furnish
most of the comedy of the first
act. .
Mrs. Crane It Heroine.
During the last two acts Mrs.
Crane succeeds in winning over
each and every one of the members
of the jury to her opinion and the
defendant is acquitted. Flattering,
bribing, vamping Mrs. Crane is a
real herotne when the curtain
goes down on the last act.
The members of the jury do un
usually fine character work and
succeed in bringing out all of the
good comedy in the piece. The play
is literally filled with clever lines
and situations which provoke
laughter. Incidentally or purpose
ly, the play is an excellent satire
on the American jury system as it
exists today. The ills of the sys
tem are exaggerated a bit to make
them even more amusing than they
are, but many of the defects of this
cog in the wheel of justice are
clearly brought out.

All Freshmen Out For Athletics
Have Kept School Records Clear
This Year, Coach Brown Reveals
Common opinion that high school athletes have given or
will apply little worth to scholastic endeavors has apparently
been disproved.
Not one freshman who went out for basketball or football
has failed in sufficient number of hours to oust him from the
university, according to Uoach Brown, freshman football and
basketball director.
"We have no explicit or definite
method to lay down before the
freshmen for them to follow if
they are to keep their hours up,"
explained the coach. "Rather, each
man receives merely encourage
ment through the medium of per
sonal contact."
Little Difference.
When questioned as to the dif
ference in coaching high school
athletes and college freshmen, the
coach said that so far as he was
aware there was only one.
"A high school man who wants
to make any team is out for prac
tice at definite hours each day or
the coach knows where he is. If a
man misses practice more than
two or three times for no plausi
ble reason, he is through.
"With college f reshmen it is
quite different There are many
things which come up that makes
for inconsistent practice; military
drill, some classes which are of
fered only at the time of practice,
makeup examinations, and other
events of like nature.

Presidents Have No .
Outlined Work.
There will be no barb slate of
candidates in the coming class
elections. Delphin Nash, presi
dent of the barb political taction
made this declaration yesterday.
This withdrawal from the classic
political meddlings on the campus
will bo heralded with much Inter

made their strongest fight for an
electoral victory in last fall's
heavily contested scrap for the
office of president in the four
classes.
"F.lcctlons are a waste of time,'
Nash declared as he aired his
views. "A large number of barbs
have expressed that opinion. The
outcome of class elections has no
bearing upon campus activities."
The barb leader did not mention
other elections, such as those in
the spring when Student council
members are chosen.
Have No Power.
"Campus political officers lack
power," Nash asserted. There is
nothing for the freshmen and
sophomore heads to do, he said.
Outside of a few details, including
membership on the Junior-Senior
prom committee, the non-fraternity
helmsman thinks little of the
junior president's duties. Senior
class president is rated along with
the others, by Nash.
"Political plums," is what Del

say do no harm. Last year the
minor officers were relegated to
the scrap heap, and I have no
doubt that the presidents will be
tossed along with them. At least

that a goodly number in compa

Reeeipt For letting
A Male For Creek
Prom Is Revealed
BY ONE WHO KNOWS.
In the first place, this Interfra
ternity ball cpmes at a cleueedly
unprofitable time from the angle
of a prospective "rating the ball."
Christmas started the depression
and Paul Whitman and the com
ing prom have just about well
nigh depleted chances as well as
resources. All of which Is merely
an introduction of the woeful tale
of a coed's' sentiments on afore
mentioned ball. At the first hint
of the Interfraternlty ball the wise
coed starts her campaigning act.
The first move consists of check
ing over mentally all the eligible
males elimination is easy, but the
remaining procedure has all the
characteristics of a tough ' situa
tion." A house party interspersed be
tween the ensuing weeks is of
course a solution, but consider the
difficulties in coercing a normal,
healthy male Into parting with
$2.50 under anything but extraor
dinary circumstances. To continue
all the feminine tactics in exis
tence could not lure some of the
"Joe Colleges to the ball," but the
sensible coed knows better than to
waste her time on such. Of the re
maining few, she proceeds to pick
her mostly likely victim by the
process of deduction and then the
concentration begins. As for the
end of this story, well, go to the
ball and see for yourself.
NOT FEARED-DENNIS
Northwestern Dean Speaks
To Wesleyan Class
On Communism.
BELIEVES WORK IS AID
In a speech to Nebraska Wrea
leyan university students Thurs
day morning. Dean Ralph Den
nis of Northwestern university
school of spech declared he had
no fear of communistic activities
in this country as long as the
people have work.
According to Dean Dennis,
"The Red propaganda can pros
per only on certain soil and its
adherents are generally those
who have nothing to lose and
everything to gain. If our relief
measures and bread lines were
compelled to exist for any length
of time, this belief would gain
foothold among our people but
under normal economic condi
tions we need never fear."
Dean Dennis said the commun
ists in Russia are beginning a
new type of civilization at the
present time through teaching
their arhnnl children and sub
jects that 'it is morally wrong to
be rich and it is wrong 10 mane
profit from the labor of an
other." American and German engi
neers would be partly responsible
if th soviet government ever se
cured a grasp on world civiliza
tion, declared the dean. There
are 2,000 American engineers in
Russia leading in the gigantic
construction program, American
capital is Deing usea ana aihcm
cans everywhere in Russia are
aiding in their construction of
the "new state," acording to
Dean Dennis.
The rlenn said an admirable
quality of soviet development is
that the government is attempt
ing to stamp out illiteracy. It
has the right plan but lacks the
funds to carry.lt qui consistently,
in his opinion.

TEXAS DEAN ISSUES
Suggests Indexing Data On
Prof's Susceptible
Weaknesses.
BAYLOR, Tex. Refined and or
ganized lessons in apple-polishing!
According to w. s. Allen, dean
ot Baylor university, there is notn
ing easier in college than to get an
A from any professor.
He has just copyrighted a
pamphlet titled "Pick Your Prof,
or Getting by in College," which
outlines absolutely sure methods
of graduating with honors by the
simple expedient of knowing how
to appreciate .the stale jokes or me
professor, avoiding study and se
lecting the teachers most suscept
ible to bluffing.
Plans for the organization are
contained in a pamphlet of a co
operative bureau 'which will in
clude a card index of the weak
spots of all the professors on the
faculty. This would be compiled
by upperclassmen as thfry passed
each course and would explain
whether a certain instructor can
be best approached by flattery,
humor, apparent brilliance, cute
co-eds, long themes, kidding or
bluffing.
Each student, however, should
analyze the prospective professor,
but the author says the easiest
way is to laugh at the jokes of the
teacher as if they contained true
humor.
Allen admits that the book will
take a person thru college with
no one being the wiser least of
all the student.

presence of the mountains I be
come aware of the grandeur and
beauty of a Presence which they
but symbolize. The keen thinking
and high aspirations of the leaders
and the frank fellowship of fellow
delegates speak to me of a richer
and more meaningful Personality
which they mirror. Why this is so
at Estes more than elsewhere I
can not say. I only know it is so."
C D. Hayes.
"From the T. M., Y. W, confer
ence at Estes, I got a broader view
of life in general. So many sub
jects that I never took time to
think of were brought close to me.
"Above allf I experienced a real
friendship among the many stu
dents there." Xacadene Hill.

Of First Motion.
INSTIGATOR OF CHARGE
the chareea aea nst toe unnwr.
sity, before the house for ques
tioning. Dr. Owens' resolution pro
vided for an investigation ot al
leged charges that the university
has been buying property for
private groups and boosting Lin
coln land values by purchases
with public funds by a joint
committee of the house and sen
ate. Defeated By Five Votes.
The resolution, introduced Wed
nesday, was laid over until
Thursday under house rules and
came before the house at its
morning session yesterday. Al
lan G. Burke of Bancroft, repub
lican floor leader, moved to ta
ble it Dr. Owens immediately
called, for a roll call vote which
resulted in 44 votes for and 39
votes against tabling it
Leaders in opposition , to the (
investigation resolution argued f
that the house finance commit-
tee with its eleven members, six l
republicans and five democrats,
is capable of conducting any in- !
vestigation into the university
financial activities that may be J
necessary.
"I have received many, many 1
telegrams, letters, and telephone
calls from people throughout the i
state and from citizms of Lin- ;
coin," Dr. Crsens stated yester- J
day following the dfftat of her J
resolution, "ccngratultting me on",
the facL.tfL-Ci3MrTMVi!s
the legislature with nerve eS&agh
to call for a very necessary in
vestigation." May Continue Fight
Although she did not say that
the fight for an investigation
would be continued. Dr. Owens
emphasized the fact that there
is nothing to prevent introduc- '
tion of more resolutions calling ,
for such an investigation. Sena- 1
tor McGowan, who was in pos-
session of a copy of Dr. Owens'
resolution at the time it was be- .
fore the house, before being no- ?
tified that it had been defeated :
in the house declared that if it
was turned down there he would
introduce it in the senate.
Much agitation for an investi
gation has come from Anton '
Jensen, former university in- '
structor, who has sent several
letters to the members of the ,
legislature since the opening of ;
the present session in which he
charges misappropriation of uni
versity funds in the purchase of
certain lots on 16th street and
R street which, be alleges, were I
turned over to certain fraternities
at a heavy loss to the university. '
The purchases, say university
authorities, were part or tne
move to nrevent the erection ot
expensive fraternity houses in
the zone set aside for women'
rooming houses and soroilty
houses.
Burke Leads Opposition.
Dr. Owens in arguing her reso
lution denied that Jensen was the
instigates "of the mova. "Anything ,,
along thtt line is tal e," she tie-
clared. "Although It has helped,
this dates back much further. It
goes back more than two years.
What I want to know is why the
University of Nebraska is running
the state govemmtrit." . j
Burke, leader aeainsr-Hje-reso-
lution, replied that the chancellor s
and the regents are being criticized
at what was gone over so thor- :.
oughly two years ago. There are ,
eleven men on the finance com
mittee. Our sworn duty is to
procure for ourselves and furnish
the house with all information de
sired. University authorities have
been asked to file with the commit
tee a full and complete brief of
there were anything to be gained
by an outside and independent in
vestigation, I should be the last to
ODDOse it We have members on
the committee such as Mr. O'Mal-
lev. Mr. Wells and myself who
have been in the legislature for
veara. If we are not capable or
procuring the needed information
and if we are not trustworthy, then
we are unworthy of representing
our respective districts."
Several of those voting quaiinea
their votes by explanation.
"When the university asked for
$900,000 more appropriation tha
waa appropriated last year it
should be willing to submit to an
investigation," said Representative
Binfield of Prosser.
"Officials of the university have
said they would welcome an inves
tieatioo. I think we ought to give
them what they ask," stated Burr
of Juaniata in justifying us Toce
against tabling the Owens' resolu
tion. , -
