Nebraska Library Gradually Adds
To Collection of Books; Ockman
Is Especially Well Represented
y SEARS RIEPMAN
While most students have be
come aware, thru recent display
and campus publicity, of the exis
tence in Nebraska's library of a
group of rare volumes of not only
historical but artistic interest, it
is not so prevalently known that
this same collection is being grad
ually added to, year after year,
and already contains a very com
plete outlay of at least one author
of mary years before. According
to Prof. Gilbert Doane, university
librarian, Nebraska is fortunate in
possessing these old manuscripts,
many of which are capable of
awakening memories of many a
half-forgotten history class.
"One writer of the fifteenth cen
tury, William de Ockman, is es
pecially represented here," said
Professor Doane recently. "Ock
man's works were mostly theolo
gical treatises, called" dialogues,"
which generally were directed
SLgalnst heresy. A copy of his sev
en dialogues has only recently
Coda iiito oU pts-SCdaicn. t W&S

AGEE STATES CURES
FOR UNEMPLOYMENT
Speaker at Bizad Convene
Cites Shorter Hours,
Five Day Week.
400 STUDENTS LISTEN
Shorter working hours and pos
sibly the five-day week were de
scribed as perhaps the best cures
and preventatives - fo unemploy
ment by John Agee, general man
ager of the Lincoln Telephone and
Telegraph company when he ad
dressed a group of 400 business
administration students Monday
morning in Social Sciences audi
torium. The convocation was the first of
a series which will be sponsored by
the Men's Commercial club of the
college. Dean J. E. LeRossignol of
the business administration college
introduced the speaker.
Mr. Agee's talk dealt almost en
tirely with the problem of unem
ployment, which he declared was.
in his opinion, the most pressing
problem facing the American na
tion. Among- other cures, he men
tioned, in addition to shorter
working days and the five day
week, release of married women
gainfully employed unless they are
beads of families, replacement of
women gainfully employed by
heads of families, co-operation of
government and industry, and the
relief. Insofar as possible, of
peaks and sags in production.
Cites Automobile Trade.
In recommending co-operation
of government and Industry, Mr.
Aree pointed to the automobile
trade, where production is often
carried on for only six months oi
the vear. with the laborers idle
during the other six months. These
laborers, he declared, could be put
to work on road building or other
government enterprises, which
work would be done during the
period when the men were lack
insr employment.
Mr. Agee eKetcned orieny tne
history of unemployment. He
pointed out that while the popula
tion of this country has increased
rapidly since 1800, the number or
persons in the average family in
the average family in the United
States has decreased from 5.6 to
4.2. This, he declared, means that
there are more heads of families
who must be gainfully employed if
we are to eliminate poverty and
absolute want.
Mean Mora Jobs.
Mr. Ajree, In speaking of
shorter working hours, pointed out
that they mean more jobs. He ex
pressed doubt as to the evisability
of the five day week plan, saying
that when workers had two full
holidays every week, they invari
ably try to find some other way
to add to their income by working
one or both of the days, and that
such outside interests are deteri
mental to the best interests of their
employers.
He also dealt in his talk with
unemployment insurance, compen
sation, and death benefit plans.
He described the dole system of
Germany, to which employers,
employes, and the government all
contribute.
GRADUATE VISITS CAMPUS.
Mrs. Alice Pomeroy Frum of
South Sioux City, graduate of the
university in 1911, viHited Mrs.
Hattie Plum Williams of the de
partment of sociology last week.
the person who drew these bril
liantly "flourished initials was
called a "lubricator," meaning lit
erally "one who works in red."
This initialing, and pages of in
tricate border work besides, are
especially well preserved in a
small volume titled "The Book of
Hours." This beautifully illuctrat
ed volume is a prized addition to
the collection. Unfortunately, its
hand-drawn miniatures, originally
Inserted in separate pages, have
beon cut out, leaving parts of the
book disconnected.
"The value of these books varies,
of course, according to their con
dition as well as their rarity,"
Professor Doane continued. "De
termining factors are also the
orl&ln of the volume, or the qual
ity of its workmanship, whether
on cover, illustrations, or print
ing in general, and of course,
largely on its historical connec
tions. For this reason our copy of
"The Book of Hours' 'is not nearly
as valuable as many other vol
umes which appear much Imi pre
tentious, simply because there are
comparatively many copies of it
in existence. Then again, a small
book, "The Woman Hater," an
oringinal first edition of 1648, has
its value, even more enchanced by
a later binding of full cruched Le

Polish Artist Arranges for
Coliseum Recital on
April 17.
PLANS EXTENDED TOUR
Seventeenth Trip Includes
70 Programs; Will
End in West.
lgnace Paderewskl, noted Polish
artist who is considered by many
as the greatest living pianist, will
give a recital in Lincoln when he
appears at the university coliseum,
Friday. April 17.
It has been two seasons since
Taderewski last toured the
United States. A larger part of
last year was spent in touring
Europe where he gave many re
citals for charity. The proceeds of
his entire tour in France h
turned over to Marshal Foch's
charities, and in gratitude the
French government bestowed on
him its highest award the Grand
Cross of the Legion of honor. He
is one of the most decorated men
in the world,' holding medals and
important recognitions from prac
tically every European country.
Many nonorary degrees have been
bestowed upon him from leading
universities in this country.
Plans Seventy Recitals.

incluudes seventy recitals and it
will carry his as far as the Pa
cific coast. It is his seventeenth
tour of this country.
Although Paderewski made his
first visit to the United States
about forty-eight years ago, his
actual debut as a pianist occurred
in 1877 in Vienna. In 1890 London
paid tribute to his genius and
United States recognition follow
ed. His first appearance in Lincoln
occurred about thirty years ago
when his program opened the old
Lincoln auditorium which was des
troyed a few years ago by fire
which took place while the Kos
met Klub was holding one of its
annual musical comedies.
Paderewski is a personal ac
quaintance of Prof. Orin Stepanek
of the Nebraska faculty. A few
years'; ago when Paderewski ap
peared nere Professor Stepanek
called on the artist and his wife
and as presented 'with an auto
graphed picture of the pianist.

CRETE PETITIONS FOR
Community Club, American
Legion and Rotary
Back Move.
INVESTIGATE HIS RECORD
According to word received here
Monday, a petition is being circu
lated in Crete by Mayor F. J.
Kobes of that city and President
Fred Kind of the Crete Commun
ity club for the reinstatement of
Steve Hokuf, promnent university
athlete. It will be presented to
Dr. T. J. Thompson, dean of men,
early this week.
Hokuf was suspended from the
university following a raid on an
apartment in which he lived with
two other young men, where of
ficers found illicit liquor. Hokuf
was not in the apartment at the
time, and did not figure in crim
inal prosecution of those who were
in the apartment when it was
raided.
Steve Not In Court
'We are requesting the univer
sity authorities to reinstate Steve
because he was not Involved in the
liquor case in court, and had com
mitted no crime sufficient to sus
tain his expulsion from school,"
said Mayor Kobes.
"We have investigated and found
that several students found guilty
of drunkenness were suspended
and reinstated in a short time.
There is no evidence that Steve
even took a drink."
Mayor Kobes said not only the
v.oLumunjiy ciud, out me American
Legion and the Rotary club are be
hind the Hokuf reinstatement pe
titions. Born in Crete.
Steve Hokuf was born and
raised in Crete acd has held that
little city for his home ever since.
Crete has great faith in him. He
has, as the Crete residents point
out, a clear record. He has been
working his way thru school lately
on the staff of a Lincoln news
paper. If Hokuf's reinstatement is not
made soon, he will be ineligible to
play football next season, even
though he attends a session of
summer school. It is generally
understood the suspensions are to
last the rest of the present term.
Mayor Kobes declares the court
hearing at which one of the stu
dents declared he alone was re
sponsible for the beer and beer
making apapratus in the apart
ment, proves that Hokuf had noth
ing to do with it

Following is Miss Krekelcr's essay.
What I Aim To Get Out of College
"My purpose in getting a college
education is to learn to live better.
I fully expect a reward for my
going thru school, and that re
ward is a richer, happier life.
"Life is such a complex situation
that I must analyze it, and separ
ate it into distinct phases -Uch
I aim to develop or even sense as
a college student Life without
health, friends, an appreciation and
knowledge of good literature, art,
and music, an interest in science,
history, philosophy, and religion,
poise, refinement a social con
sciousness, and independent think
ing on my part, would be most
unsatisfynig to me.
"I do not presuppose that I shall
be the most charming, cultured
miss, or a learned person, t;n
mediately upon my graduation
from this university, but I aim to
learn how to learn while I am
here. All I ask is an introduction
to Ibsen, Hauptmenn, Carl Band
burg, Robert Browning. Joseph
Conrad, Swinburne, Millet Bee
thoven, Wagner, Verdi, Edison, or
Einstein. 1 ca nlearn to know them

an overestimated opinion of my
self, and I thought I knew rays jiff
and things in general. Now I heve
begun to realize how little I know,
but how I can grow and improve.
Seeing individuals of high calibre
and charming personalities Has
made me come out of this house
of mine, walk around ' it, and ex
amine it from another's point, of
view. College has made me faintly
see this house of mine with all of
its homely and unpleasing bleao
ishes, and it has made me feel the
need of improving my personality.
A personality colored with poise,
culture, sympathy, kindness, mod
esty, and cheer is absolutely neces
sary in the line of work 1 am to
learn In university, in my associa
tion with other people, and In atry"
own home.
"I expect college to give me n
training which will enable -ate to
make a living, of course, tut 2 ex
pect much more than tiat thttX
it make me happy in my work,
"All my aims seem to "culminate
In one outstanding aim, and ti-tt
aim la to learn to be as id.il
homemskcr. I want to be able to
make my home beautiful, artistic,
cheerful, and comfortable, t de
lightfully and hospitably entertaJn
my friends. o be the very 1 ".st
kind of mother, and to have f-e,
healthy children and so live a
happy life,
