With arrangements complete for the lecture at the Temple theater and the public invited, the commit tee anticipates a capacity audience. The two organizations share the (expense of the meetings and alter nate from year to year in assum ing the responsibility for the ar rangements. Last year Phi Beta Kappa was host, while this year Sigma Xi will be the sponsor. Dr. Walker Invites All. The executive committee of Sigma XI, which is in charge of the arrangements, consists of Dr. Elda Walker, president; Dr. D. C. Hendricks, vice president; Dr. Emma N. Anderson, secretary; Dr. M. G.

"The primary purpose of these meetings," Dr. Walker stated, "is to bring a noted lecturer to ap pear before the university public. For this reason everyone is espe cially invited." Teacher Says Students Try To Be Morons It seems to be popular for stu dents to pretend to be morons, ac cording to instructors In the psy chology department who are ad ministering intelligence tests to students in beginning psychology classes. Results of the tests are used in the department to aid stu dents in finding their proper field of work, but for some reason the word seems to have been spread around that if one receives a high intelligence quotient, he will be ex pected to do an unusual amount of work. As a result, so the professors claim, some of the sorority upper classmen, in particular, have been advising their more inexperienced sisters to make a low mark on the exam in order that they won't be obliged to work too hard in the course. The test which is given each se mester to students in the depart ment is known as the Army Alpha Test which was prepared par ticularly for testing army officers. It presents a number of different kinds of exercises to work out which are designed to reveal an in dividual's aptitude in various fields of work. According to W. E. Walton, in structor in the department, the no tion that students who get a high score will be overworked Is ab surd. The only way the tests will be used in conrection with the stu dent's work, he claims, is to help the student. Obviously, however, he says, if some student with a high quotient is not getting the work, he may be suspected of Bluf fing. When students at Baylor Uni versity, Waco, Tex., buy subscrip tions to their yearbook they are al lowed to cast votes for the most popular coed in proportion to their Jjf.yment. The contest was pro nnged Into an extra period when there was a tie for first place. i 14. - - v: wwhK4A - i ' I in nil GLEN LEOOIYT.

ATTACKS PRESENT PLAN Political Science Group Hears Theorizing on Enforcement. "Statistics from some of the larger cities in the country indi cate that there re only nine prosecutions for every 100 felonies reported," declared Ai:.orney-en' eral C. A. Sorenson. Thursday eve ning in an address before Pi. Sigma Alpha, honorary political science fraternity at the Lindell how!. "The big problem today," as serted Mr. Sorenson, "is the ap prehension of the criminal much more than the conviction of him once he is caught." Mr. Sorenson discussed a num ber of theoretical problems of law enforcement and recommended several improvements which he be lieves should be made in Nebraska to aid in the methods of criminal apprehension. In Nebraska, he claimed, it is seldom that a crim inal who is caught is released on account of, legal technicalities. It is the system of catching them which he believes needs improve ment. A state police force of at least 100 patrolmen is the chief proposal which the attorney-general sug gested. These patrolmen, he be lieves, should operate in motor vehicles equipped with radio re ceiving sets controlled from state headquarters on a short wave length system. This plan which has worked suc cessfully in a number of states and metropolitan areas allows the state headquarters to get in touch with the cruising patrolmen immediate ly upon receipt of the report of a crime. Officers nearest tne scene of the crime are able to arrive in time to be of real assistance. Advocates Training. Mr. Sorenson also suggested that such a constabulary be well ( Continued on Page 3.) E Professor Advocates Upton Sinclair for Nobel Contest Award. Dr. Laurence Fossler, professor of Germanic languages on this campus has endorsed the .candi dacy of Upton Sinclair, author of "Boston," "The Brass Check," and other books, for the Nobel Prize for literature. Dr. Fossler's signature to a statement of recommendation of Sinclair was one of 770 from "teachers of esthetics, literature and history at university colleges" in fifty-five countries of the world and all the states of the United States. Terms of the Nobel bequest pro vide that the award shall be made "to one who has produced in the field of literature the most dis tinguished work of idealistic ten dency," according to a report from the committee endorsing Sinclair's candidacy. The recommendation which Dr. Fossler, along with the 770 other endorsers signed, says in part: "For thirty years Upton Sin clair has been making contribu tions to American literature-whlch seem to us to come under this classification. He is the author of some forty volumes. . .and is un questionably the most widely read of writers living today. His books . . .have profoundly affected the thinking of both the masses and the more alert portion of the cul tured world. We consider his greatest hovels, ai "The Jungle," "Love's pilgrimage," "Oil," "Bos ton," an outstanding achievement in the contemporary fiction of all lands, for their mastery of fact, for their social vision, for consis tent, honest and courageous think ing, for humanitarian passion, for originality in the technique of pre sentation, and for vitality and sweep of creative art."

In 1920 they produced "Twelfth Night;" in 1926 they attempted one of their most difficult presenta tions, "Romeo and Juliet;" and the 1929 season included "Ham let," with Hart Jenks as the guest artist. The Players are particularly for tunate in being able again to se cure the services of Hart Jenks for the character of Othello.

Hertzler and Morton Express Views Concerning Unemployment bituation; Say Result of Failure to Look Ahead Two Nebraska university professors expressed themselves recently concerning the job situation and the methods necessary to alleviate or-remedy the prevalent conditions of unemploy ment. Dr. J. O. Hertzler, head of the sociology department, suggests a means for preventing such a situation in the future, while Dr. W. II. S. Morton, in charge of teacher training pro poses ways in which those wltbouto anything to do can mane proiit' able use of their time. The present period of depression and unemployment is a result of our own failure to look ahead and plan well, thinks Dr. Hertzer. The complex organization of industry, and the interdependence of all sec tions and communities in the United States make it necessary to abandon the outgrown system of "rugged individualism," he states. "What we need to think about now is the next depression," says Dr. Hertzler. Necessary work on public construction can be planned ahead of time, he believes and re serves can be built up in munici palities, states and In the nation, to loan - to government construction agencies in times like the present, to take care cf the huge number of unemployed by providing them with essential work to do. Dr. Morton criticizes the appar ent tendency of those who axe Job leas to ignore their opportunity to Improve themselves by utilizing the time which hacgi heavy on their hands. WTille recognizing that being unemployed is not of de sirable, Dr. Morion suggests that those who are in the unhappy Decorations of Modernistic Motif Will Feature Saturday Fete?

One of the features planned for the ball is the request program arranged by the committee. Indi viduals and organizations on- the campus have registered ' prefer ences with Chalmers Graham. Both orchestras will be prepared to render popular selections. ; plight realize that they have a fine opportunity to improve them selves. ' Even those who have work to do are blessed with a great deal of spare time, according to Dr. Mor ton. The problem of utilising this spare time to advantage seems to him an extremely serious one. If you listen to Amoa and Andy regularly, you spend nine working days a year, Mr. Morton haa fig ared. A great many people use large amounts of time playing bridge, listening to the radio, and doing other prefectly legitimate things to amuse themselves. It ia the tendency to spend too much time In nuch pastimea.". however, which he criticizes. - "Ten to fifteen years after most people get out of college they are no farther than when they left It." claims Dr. Morton. "Once people do get a job, most of them- center their Uvea around it so completely bar they get In a groove and fail to grow." "Wnetber you have a Job or ara unemployed, make the moat nf your time," advtaea Dr. " Morton. "Read widely, keep your mind ac tive, and forge ahead." . . .
