Crowd Viewing Kansas Tilt
Breaks Big Six Resord
Of Attendance.
19,783 SEE HOME GAMES
Selleck Says Increase Due
To Reduced Admission,
Winning Streak.
By LEONARD CONKLIN.
Charley Black's second place
Cornhusker basketball team
showed before 61,339 persons this
season, according to figures re
leased by John K. Selleck, business
manager of Nebraska athletics.
Attendance records were shat
tered in the Big Six conference by
the 6,650 crowd that watched the
Kansas-Nebraska game in the
coliseum. This, set an all time
mark for the Missouri valley re
gion and probably was one of the
largest basketball throngs to wit
ness a collegiate game during the
1831 season.
Statistics would point to the
fact that Nebraska has stepped to
the front as a school Interested in
basketball as well as football. The
two tables indicate that the small
est home crowd at the coliseum
exceeded the largest attendance
observing the Huskers in foreign
fields.
Home game attendance for Big
Six tilts totalled 19,783 as against
the 12,525 persons who gathered
to see the Blackmen work on other
courts in the conference.

McCleery Says American Colleges
Do Not Take Women Out of Home
In World-Herald Feature Article
BY HARRY FOSTER.
"The accusation that American colleges are taking women
ont of the home and putting them in businesses is unjust,"
ays William T. McCleery in a special feature which appeared
in the Omaha World-Herald last Sunday.
In the University of Nebraska a special laboratory, known
as a "home management house," is provided for the training
of future housewives. The unlver-. terestiner and more agreeable than
aity still believes that the woman's
place la in the home.
"Home making is a profession
and aa such it requires special
training. When people recognize
this, homes will be better man
aged," is the assertion of Miss
Louise Leaton, the resident adviser
in the home management house.
According to MUs Leaton the resi
dence tries to duplicate and solve
the problems which arise in actual
homes. In order to afford this op
portunity a completely furnlsbod
home is provided for the coeds
who move in a half dozen at a time
and remain for a period of six
weeks. Household dutie ar ar
ranged so that each girl has an op
portunity to try her hand at every
task. The departments of the
horn management consists of:
cook, assistant cook, hostess, laun
dress, child director and house
keeper. "Some of the jobs are most In- i
others," acknowledged the adviser,
"but we believe in a thorough edu
cation." Meals are prepared by the girls
and all the household duties are
performed by the ones responsible
for the work. Finances are handled
by the girls with the expert assist
ance of their instructor. A cham
pion bftby, "Jerry" by name, seems
to enjoy his life in the experi
mental home and thrives on this
scholastic atmosphere. "Je.-ry" Is
to have his first birthday party
this spring. ' Evidently the home
economics department believes
that the furnace and yard should
be cared for by the husband as the
girls are not drilled in this work.
Miss Leaton has served aa act
ing resident adviser in the collegi
ate "play-house" for the past two
years. Before accepting this po
sition she conducted a similar resi
dence on the South Dakota college
campus.
Omicron chapter of Pi Lambda
Theta held its monthly meeting at
teachers college, Thursday, March
19. Dr. W. M. Morton, principal of
the Teachers College high school,
addressed the group. His subject
was, "As the Superintendent Sees
the Prospective Teacher."
After the regular meeting, a so
cial hour was held in honor of
Miss Clara O. Wilson, chairman of
the department of kindergarten
primary, who has recently received
her doctor's degree. The entertain
ment committee carried out a
very clever stunt depicting in an
amusing manner Miss Wilson's
progress in school from the kinder
garten to the acquistion at her late
honor.

To Establish a University

Editor'! not: This Is ihe ninth of
a series on student unioni mt other

the purpose of student unions and wfil

By HAROLD O. WARREN, Jr.
(From The Michigan Dally)
Some thirty years aero, croups
of Michigan students, meeting st
various times and places, yeerned
for a building at the university for
the stuJent's own use, for their
loafing and gathering place.
Today, Michigan has a material
realization of an idea that was
conceived by thOBe students, who
had the welfare of the University
of Michigan at heart.
The union as it serves the uni
versity today is the result of one
of the most arduous campaigns
ever waged in the history of the
university. Alumni, students, and
faculty combined efforts which
culminated in the completion of
the present union building in 1920
representing investment of
more than 11,200,000.
In 1904 the University of Michi
gan union was incorporated under
the laws of the atate of Michigan
to establish a university social
ana recreational center; to pro
vide a meeting place for faculty,
alumni, former students of tue
"Hvr!,y; to uraUi Louie tor
alumni when in Ann Arbor, and a
