MILDEST WINTER EVER
Averaae Temperature for
Last Three Months
Above Normal.
Lincoln this year has experienced
th warmmt winter since the wea
ther bureau began keeping records
here In 1887. According to H. G.
Carter, meteorologist, the average
temperature for the months of
December, January and February
was 84.7 degrees, or 9.2 above nor
mal. The average mean temperature
for the three months were 31.8
degrees for December. 34.0 de
grees for January, and 38.3 for
February.
The amount of precipitation the
past winter has been below nor
mal. There being a total of 1.40
inches. This is fifty-nine percent
of normal Snowfall during the
three months was exceptionally
low being 3.7 inches, or twenty
four percent of normal.
This winter has also been un
usual In that the temperature has
not been below rero. The last time
the thermometer registered zero
or low er was on January 23, 3 930.
The lowest temperature for this
year was recorded on Jan. 4 when
the thermometer dropped to two
degrees.
This eemi-California weather,
which Nebraska has been having,
may yet see zero temperature. Ac
cording to Mr. Carter there has
been zero weather thirteen times
during March in the past forty
five years. The lowest tempera
ture on record for Lincoln during
March was eleven degrees below
zero on March . 3 888.
University Professors Have Hobbies
Ranging From Pets to Writing Texts;
From Traveling to Collecting Books
Nearly everyone is familiar with the story concerning the
mail carrier who chose hiking as his hobby, but not everyone
realizes- that most university professors have hobbies ranging
from pets (the four legged kind) to writing text books.
Elizabeth WiMmaim. a member of the Ortnan department,
is the proud possessor of a small ''dachshund " -which in better
known in this country as a siove
pipe" or "weiner" dog. She has
given the dog a very appropriate
name as she calls him Wauzl (bow
wow.)
The old saying "See America
First" is well observed by Lillie M.
Park, for she has visited every
state in the union except four. "I
have a real travel bee in my bon
net," confessed Mrs. Park, "for I
no Bonner get one trip over than
I want to start on another one. 7
hope to go tc Europe or Alaska
next."
Wimberly Explores Sites.
Exploring old Pawnee and Otoe
Indian Bites near Ashland is the
favorite Sunday pastime of Prof.
Lowry Wimberly. Ab yet h- has
succeeded is finding about a hun

Speaker Stresses Need for
Better Training in
English.
The engineers no longer study j
and work to construct tools and ,
implements to further industrial!
programs, but work towards the j
end of creating industrial lead-'
ers and executives. Industry now
claims men of executive ability
trained in the engineering line
while the government also needs
engineering skill to solve its
problems.
Such was the mer"uge conveyed
to over 200 engineering professors
and students yesterday by Roy V.
Wright, national president of the
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers, at a meeting held in his
honor In the M. E. building.
With "Opportunities of Engi
neers" as the title of his talk, Mr.
Wright referred only briefly to the
opportunities, but went more into
detail on how to take advantage of
an engineer's training.
Contacts Necessary.
"Each student in the college of
engineers should make contact
with as many older men of the
profession as possible," said Mr.
Wright. "By so doing you will fit
yourselves to hold the position of
executives which is now so vital

As if in answer to the ptea of
the leaders, a large group of girls
attended the social dancing class
Saturday evening at the armory.
A weakness lies in the fact that
the number of men increased
equally, thus complicating the sit
uation. This week the leaders are
again inviting any women inter
ested in joining the class or com
ing for an hour of social dancing.
At 7 o'clock there is- a beginner's
class in the armory where instruc
tion is given in dancing. From
7:30 until 8:30 o'clock the time is
devoted to social dancing. Many
new records have been secured for
the Victrola. Ruth Hatfield and

FRATERNITY COUNCIL
Dick Devereaux Reports on
Scholarship Plaques at
Meeting.
TALKS ADVOCATE UNION
Upon the suggestion of the
scholarship committee the inter
fraternity council last night
passed a new ruling concerning
scholastic eligibility for the initia
tion of pledges which reads "any
pledge who has had an average
of 72 percent at the end of any
semester preceding initiation, re
gardless of failures and conditions
will be eligible."
This action was taken up after
Dean Harper signified his approv
al to such an act. It is believed by
the council that this rule will
work very y ell in that any one
course which is impossible for a
student to master will not prevent
him from becoming initiated and
will not materially lower his scho
lastic standing.
A motion made by Art Mitchel
that any grade over 71 1-2 should
be- counted as 72 was passed by
the body and became law. Pro
fessor Schramm, council advisor,
thought it advisable since it is the
practice of most professors to
give students the benefit of a frac
tion. The new scholarship plaques
will be finished in approximately
six weeks, according to Dick Dev
ereaux. chairman of the plaque
committee appointed by former
president. Fred Grau. The ap
proved sketch has been submitted
for the making of the pattern.
The plaques will be in the form of
an open book, an ear of corn cut
ting - vertically thru the Center,
and the words "inter-fraternity
council scholarship award' 'in
scribed on it. It was estimated
that they will cost about five dol
lars each.
A committee was appointed to
provide for rush cards for the
coming school year. President.

I drill Issue is brewing quietly as
far as the campus is concerned but
striking developments may be ex
pected when the antidrill. commit
tee convenes with the board of
regents. The question of student
government is at a definite crux
and there is much work to be done
in the near future if a new Student
council constitution is to be legal
ized. Council to Meet.
This afternoon the members of
the student council will hold a
regular biweekly meeting. In the
first instance they will be con
fronted with the problem of filling
the publication board vacancy.
Ever they will fill the vacancy, by
their own action or they will des
ignate some particular group to
fill it.
A second problem which council
members must cope with today,
and the one which will take up
most of the their time, will be the
proposal for erecting a judicial
organ to carry out council legisla
tion. At their last session Fred
Grau presented a proposal which
he suggested be added to the new
constitution as an amendment
This would provide for the elec
tion of two committees, one made
up primarily of students, and one
of administrative and facujtj rep
resentatives. These committees would have
the 5twp. weeute and enforce
all legislation passed on to them
from the student council. If this
goes tnrough end is finally made
a part of the new constitution It
will cause many problems which
now rent solely with the adminis

dent government representatives.
