SENIORS TO BE HELPED
Slade Estate Contribution
Will Be Used to Aid
Worthy Pupils.
That as many worthy seniors as
possible should be assisted to com
plete their university work was
the feeling expressed by members
of the University of Nebraska stu
dent loan committee at their
meeting Tuesday afternoon. The
committee received authorization
Tuesday from the board of regents
to use for student loan purposes
the $6,400 recently received from
the Slade estate.
"This addition of $6,400 to our
student loan funds is very welcome
at this time," declared Mr. L. E.
Gunderson, finance secretary of
the board of regents and a mem
ber of the loan committee. Other
members of the committee are
Prof. Roy E. Cochran, chairman;
and Prof. Clark E. Mickey, vice
chairman.
Committee members are con
fronted with the problem of assist
ing the greatest possible number
of students and still leave funds for
future assistance. The majority
of the loans are made so as to be
repaid within two years after
graduation, so that considerable
money is constantly outstanding in
the form of student loans. Thirty
one loans of from $100 to $200
have been made so far this year.
"It should be remembered," said
one committee member, "that the
money under the control of the
student loan committee is not a
part of the regular university
fund. These loan funds are com
posed of monies donated by friends
of the university for specific pur
poses and to be held in trust by
the board of regents for adminis
tration." It was further explained that
most of the funds donated are re
stricted to certain purposes, such
as being confined to loans to stu
dents enrolled in certain colleges
or to students who have obtained
certain honors or have certain
specified qualifications. Some
are restricted to the use of the
interest only for student loans,
while in the case of other funds
the principal as well as the Inter
est may be used for loan purposes.
UNIVERSITY USES
TWENTY-TWO MEN
TO REMOVE SNOW
Many of Lincoln's unemployed
were given work for a few days
cleaning off streets after the heavy
snowfalls of the last couple of
weeks. The university alone put
on ten extra men to clean off side
walks on the city and ag campus.
Most of these men were working
yesterday cleaning the curbs so
water could run freely. The uni
versity also employii about twelve
regular men who worked on the
snow crew making a total of
twenty-two men cleaning snow
during the last two weeks.
RAISED
Men Students Exclaim 'What the
Heck9 as They Sign Up for Home
Economics Course in Housekeeping
By GEORGE ROUND.
"Spy, what the heck do Ave learn in this home economics
course, anyhow?"
"Well, it seems like the rest of the boys who have taken
the subject have found out a lot they didn't know about child
development, nutrition, and the responsibilities they will have
in the future home."
Such is the general run of con-o
vp.rsntion amoner men students in
the University of Nebraska who
have registered for the home eco
nomics course for men which is
offered on the college of agricul
ture campus the second semester.
It will be the third time it has
been given.
It is hard to imagine some of
the more prominent Nebraska men
students thinking about future
married life but if they are regis
tered in the home economics
course they are going to learn all
about It from the ground up.
Imagine some of the lounge liz
ards discussing child care and
toume furnishings. Titter, titter,
won't It be fun?
Man's Viewpoint.
The course deals with problems
of the home from the man's
standpoint. Only junior and senior
men in the University of Nebraska
are allowed to take the course.
Freshmen and sophomores are not
expected to have such large ideas.
Staff members of the different
divisions In home economics will
present the various units of the
course. There is no laboratory
work since the aim of the course
is to give young men an under
standing and inright Into the
problems and responsibilities that
they share In the home.

".Tnstirn Holmes ranks among
the greatest Judges connected with

"Such a man can never be re

Prof. J. P. Senning, head of the
political science department, was
likewise enthusiastic in praising
Justice Holmes' ability as a lawyer,
calling him "the greatest jurist of
his age."
"Loss Will Be Felt."
"Despite his advanced years,"

Walter Winchell, Reckless Gotham
Columnist, Lifts
Boot Straps to
By CLARKE C. BRADLEY.
You have probably heard of the man who lifted himspll!
by his boot straps, but have you been aware of the very mod
ern version of this adage that has been taking place during
the past few months.
The man referred to herein is the gayest and most reck
less of Broadway columnists. Walter Winchell. For the pro
verbial boot straps Mr. Winchell o
has employed interesting bits
about celebrities and by conducting
his column on the celebrities, Mr.
Winchell has become a celebrity of
equal, if not even greater bril
liance. His intimate anecdotes concern
ing people in the public eye has
become such a sensation, that Mrs.
WInchell's little boy, Walter, is no
more a mere Broadway columnist,
but a radio favorite, as well.
In Dance Ditties.
Another indication of his grow
ing popularity is manifest by not
less than six or seven popular
dance ditties that mention him and
his prolific snooping. He is read,
talked about and sung about. Not
so bad for a lowly columnist?
Those of the more conservative
mind in journalism look with dis
dain on some of Mr. Winchell
pranks, but they must admit that,
although they differ with him in
theory, no other columnist has con
sistently produced interesting facts
and chatter on the scale that Win
chell has.

As we take closer peek at the

his column has come a large part
of our current slang. Perhaps this

second period and gradually tie
the count. The defending Big Six
champions then put on a live min
ute spurt that netted them more
than enough points to win.
With the Jayhawkers 12 points
in the load and only a little over
three minutes to gr, the Huskers
went to work in a spectacular dis
play of fight and offensive power
to overtake them. Time proved to
be the greatest obstacle to the
hopes of the Cornhuskers, how
ever, and the gun ended the scor
ing spree with Nebraska three
points behind.
It was a vastly improved Ne
braska team that took the floor
Tuesday night in comparison to
the Husker quintette that met
Carleton college. Coach Charley
Black has found a scoring combi
nation in Henrion, Lunney and
Hartley that will prove its worth
over any team.
In Koster Nebraska has one of
the outstanding guards in the con
ference. His guarding last rAz'it
was sensational, and his scoring
ability netted five points. Mason
although inexperienced proved to
be a fitting running mate for
"Dutch" and scored six points.
Johnson Is K. U. Star.
Johnson, tall Jayhawker cent?r,
who has proved a thorn in the s'cCe
of the Huskers for so long, again
was responsible for the Kansas
win. Besides scoring 14 points for
high point honors for the evening,
his control of the tip-off and floor
work was the best seen here for
some time.
Nebraska used five substitutes
in the latter part of the game in
an attempt to catch the Jayhawk
ers. Boswell did his share with two
field goals. Henrion, Hartley and
Mason were tied at six points each
for the Nebraska scoring honors.
Mason started the fireworks in
the first forty seconds of the game,
giving Nebraska a two point lead
from which they were never head
ed in the first period. Baskets by
Hartley, Henrion and Koster, to
gether with deadly eye on free
throws by Mason, gave Nebraska,
a substantial lead of 17 to .11 as
the half ended.
Kansas was playing a defensivo
game for the most part, showing
a tight man for man defense that
was difficult for the Huskers to
break through. The guarding of
Nebraska in this period was re
sponsible for the low score of the
Jayhawkers.

Self Up by Own
Achieve Wide Fame
In the writings of Winchell is
found some of the most impressive
and forceful diction that is abound
ing in tho ranks of contemporary
columnists and writers. Following
the theory that words express the
thoughts and that it is desirable to
use those words in the manner in
which they are mo--', expressive,
Winchell has disregarded the ac
cepted rules of grammar. He ha3
forsaken the conventional, chatting
rhetoric of most columnists for a
language all his own.
To one who has just been intro
duced to the style of Winchell, the
word and phrase combinations
may seem rather inane. But in this
wild and glibbering jargon, he lias
caught the spirit of the hectic and
variegated world with which be
deals.
With his fingers on the pulse of
Broadway. Winchell has portrayed
its animations in a manner that
has gained him a host of adher
ents thruout the country. His
adeptsess in coining new words
and phrases give rise to calling
him a creative genius.
Can you produce any phrase that
hotter describes ths merry making
