BLUE RIBBONS.
"yHE eyes of the sporting world
are centered upon me utnver
slty of Nebraska today. For within
Memorial stadium a series of blue
ribbon events will be staged Fri
day and Saturday which will de
termine the national champion
ships for 1931 in the track and
field realm. And, which is even
of greater interest to the majority
of sport enthusiasts, from this
group of more than 500 stars will
be selected those who will prob
ably represent the United States
in the Olympic international con
tests at Los Angeles next year.
It is difficult to discuss any
phase of this national A. A. U.
meet without bursting into a con
stant repetition of superlatives.
For one cannot mention a single
event but what the entry list is
filled with stellar performers who,
given favorable weather condi
tions, may establish a new world's
record during the meet.
So often has tha public listened
to appeals cf "greatest and big
gest ever" that they are prone to
discount the enthusiastic talr-s
about the opportunity of seeing
record breaking performances
which is being offered to Ne-
braskans today and tomorrow. But
this occasion is remarkable in that
the results will probably be greater
than the predictions made daring
the past few weel;s.
The Lincoln chamber of com
merce, the Univeisity of Nebraska
and Coach ScLulle, especially,
should be congratulated for bring
ing such an outstanding national
ev?nt to Lincoln. Through their
efforts, Nebraska and the middle
west occupies a pominent place in
trrck and field circles. And by
their action, Nebiaskans will have
an opportunity of watching the
spirited competition of the great
est group cf track and field stars
ever assembled in the United
Stater.
DUSTY COMMENTS.
The complaint about the dust on
stats and classroom desks by C.
O. M. which is published under the
heading of "Student Opinion" is
ne v.hich of us have uttered at
some time during the recent sum
mer essions. Janitors claim that
they clean every room, and there
' . r.o rsnson to doubt their oft-repeated
statements. Jbiut the fact
lemains th t there's still too much
oirt in classrooms of Social
Sciences, Teachers College, An
drews and Morrill ball.
We go into thi room and drop
into a seat nearest a window on a
coo! side, if any. Since we are not
so ambitions, we usually flop our
arms on the desk. In a few
minutes we moved them and we
notice that each movement has
been recorded on the desk and an
even more impressive recording
has been registered on the coat
jslecve (shirt sleeves, if you must,
on these broiling mornings). A
similar transfer of dust has taken
place between chair and clothes.
And another light Pint goes or
.should go- to the cleaners.
University officia,s have been
notified about this dust, "invasion"
by the janitors, students, and
faculty numbers. And by next
runitrer there will be no alibies if
C. O. II. finds any t'ust in those
classrooms. For the "bad boy" of
the campus wiJl be wearing a
green outfit with no lust pockets.
The dri!l field will be a respectable
mall.
For it is the drill field with its
everlasting flurries of dust which
has been the despair of janitors
and a friend of the cleaners. And
work on converting the field into
a mall similar to that to the east
of the stadium will soon be
started.
And if it's dusty new, what will
it be somee of these windy after
noons when the grader loosens a
strip of ground right in fi-ont cf
your classroom window?
STUDENT OPINION
The recent discussions of park
ing and library heating "systems"
for the past few weeks have been
very efficiently answered by say
ing that no funds are available.
That is a reason which makes all
other reasons insignificant. Per
haps tlls complaint wrll have to
face the same objection.
This summer I have been watch
ing the designs in the dust on va
rious teachers classroom desks.
They change slightly from week to
week but enough of the ground
work remains to indicate that they
may be a part of the University of
Nebraska art collection.
It is Impossible to say how much
of' the dust on seats and classroom
desks is due to inadequate janitor
service due to crippled appropria
tions, and how much due to the
fact that janitors, like students, do
not do their best work in hot
weather. If it is impossible for
routine cleaning to be done during
the nine weeks of summer school,
might it not be possible for the
Powers to furnish each classroom
with an inexpensive dust cloth with
which the students themselves may
change the basic design if it grows
too monotonous. If it would be
too expensive, of course
C. O. M.
Complete Your Education.
The number of college students
that drop out of school before the
completion of their undergraduate
days is appalling when one stops
to consider that such persons are
failing to take advantage of what
educational foundation they may
have and prepare themselves to
really get along when they are
turned loose in the economic and
social competition of the world.
They are literally wasting a large
share of the educational training
they already have. It is analgous
to building a firm foundation for
a building and then halting further
erection of the edrfrce. The foun
dation in itself is worthless, tbo its
value would be immeasurable if
the entire building were placed
upon it.
Many students obviously have
valid reasons for discontinuing
their schooling. Some may be
pressed for funds to the extent
that it is virtually impossible to
continue another year; others may
find school too difficult to con
tinue; and still another group may
discover an opportunity they can
not afford to pass by in some other
line of business. Each student
should consider the problem very
seriously, however, before he de
cides to .stop his educational pro
cess in its very middle. An educa
tion is like rare wines used to be,
its value becomes progressively
greater with increasing age. One
may not realize its full signifi
cance at the age of twenty nearly
as vividly as he will when he has
lived a major portion of his life.
A prominent eastern business
man recently made the statement
that young college people could
not afford not to continue their
schooling at this time. The present
financial depression, with its con
sequently scarcity of positions for
the new college graduate cannot
help leaving many college gradu
ates without jobs. It was the con
tention of this financier that the
young men and women would be
making more than the usual gains
if they continued in college, better
preparing themselves for good po
sitions when the finances of the
country do return to normal.
The heaviest mortality among
college students usually occurs be
fore the student has reached his
junior year. If he is able to keep
up courage and determination un
til half the journey is covered, one
may be reasonably certain that he
will complete his venture . Fresh
men and sophomores are the ones
who must take special care that
they are not lured away from the
advantages of the education by
some more attractive, proposition.
The words of Shakespeare still
hold, "All is not gold that glitters."

Pawnee Houses Unearthed by Students
On Archaeological Tour in Nebraska
By Zella M. Andrews.
"Every day and in every way, I
like this better and better" said
one of a group of young men in the
archacoligical expedition in central
Nebraska under the direction of
Dr. W. D. Strong, professor of an
thropology at the University of
Nebraska.
The jroung men engaged in the
work are: Waldo Wedel of New
ton, Kas.; David E. Wing, Lincoln;
Michael O'Heron, Waco, Tex.; Lee
Daniels, Gering; Frank Morrison,
Bradshaw, and Jerry Leeson, Lin
coln. Mr. Wedel received his mas
ter's degree in the spring, and is
now working toward his Ph. D. de
gree. The subject of his thesis is
"Pawnee Archaeology."
The purpose of the expedition
into the central part of the state is
to study the early culture of the
Nebraska Indians, with special
emphasis on the Pawnees and the
closely allied tribes.
The group left Lincoln on June
8. They encamped for two weeks
WHAT THEY SAV
A custom constantly growing in
prevalence is that of exchangin
professors between universities of
different nations. More widespread
than the actual exchange of pro
fessors is the custom of inviting a
member of the faculty of a foreign
university to spend a year or less
in another country. At present
Minnesota has several visitors
from the faculties of foreign uni
versities. The custom has many obvious
advantages, and few of the ex
pected disadvantages have ap
peared as the system functions at
Minnesota. Intellectual and cul
tural unity is one of the most in
fluential factors in the promotion
of international peace. When the
citizens of different nations real
ize that the differences between
nationalities are small, and that
the similarities of ideals and hab
its are great, the attitude which
fosters war will decline. The in
tellectual leaders of any nation,
however eminent those leaders
may be, can profit by fresh con
tacts and viewpoints. When each
of two nations has reached the
limit of progress along one certain
line, both may take great strides
forward by a fusion of the two
lines of attack. Intellectually, even
more than economically, the world
is a unit. No nation is intellectu
ally self sufficient; in fact, no na
tion is of much intellectual signifi
cance when stripped of the contri
butions of other nations. In the
intellectual realm internationalism
has already come to pass, pointing
the way which the economic and
political realms are slowly follow
ing. The University of Minnesota is
fortunate in having an administra
tion which does all in its power to
further international exchange of
professors; from such exchange
the university has and is profiting.

on Skull creek about one mile
southwest of Linwood, where their
work began. Here, two Tawnee
houses, one interposed upon the
other, and one evidently a little
older than the other, were un
earthed. Both, however, are of historic
age, since iron and copper were
found in each. The houses were
built after the same fashion. Each
had an inner ring of fourteen posts
that supported the house. The en
trance to each house was toward
the east, and in the center of each
there was a fireplace,
From Linwood, the group went
to Schuyler, and began work three
miles northwest of town. Here a
house site was unearthed. Altho
this house was but indistinctly
traced, it contained lots of pot
sherd, bone and flint tools, ana
some coDDer and iron. A fine
burial eround was located here.
From Schuyler this group will
go to the "Palmer" site near far
mer. They expect to complete their
work about the middle of August
tion. He instructs one class in
personnel problems or tne teacn
ing staff and another one in funda
mental in school administration.
In addition to his teaching, Mr.
Jimerson is taking graduate work
in school administration toward
his Ph. D. degree.

Bogs Are Discovered
In Drifllcss Region
MADISON, Wis. That the drift
less area of Wisconsin contains
bogs formed since the glacial pe
riod is a theory that is being de
veloped thru an investigation of
the botany department of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
Southwestern Wisconsin, desig
nated on geology maps as within
the driftless region, has hitherto
been considered devoid of bogs.
Investigation during recent month9
has disclosed that pliMit growths
common to bog regions are found
at various locations within this re
gion and there are well defined in
stances where streams, shunted in
their courses, have left standing
waters that have developed into
bogs.
Such plants as tamarack, pitcher
plants, sphagnum moss ruid cran
berries are especial indicators of
bog areas. Tamarack -creek in
Trempealeau county; West Salem
and Mormon coulee in La Crosse
county, and Richland Center in
Richland county, arc places where
such plants have been found and
where bog areas are quite in evi
dence. Learn to Dance
