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.

Attorney-General Speaks at
Pi Sigma Alpha Meet
Thursday.
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.

Mr. Sorenson also suggested
that such a constabulary be well

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."

Saturday; Production
Opens Monday Eve.
BY THE CRITIC.
Dress rehearsal for the current
University Player's production,
"Othello," will be held Saturday
night, Feb. 6. Hart Jenks, who is
to play the title role, has arrived
in Lincoln and is rehearsing night
ly with the cast. The play will be
produced for a .week beginning
Monday, Feb. 8.
In choosing to present "Othello,"
which is one of the most sweeping
and tremendous of Shakespeare's
tragedies as well as one of his
most presentable plays, the Uni
versity Players have ' again delved
into the field of classical drama
In the seventeen years of their ex
istence the Players have presented
three Shakespearn dramas. 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. Mr.
Jenks, who for three years has
been playing Shakespeare with
Walter Hampden on Broadway, is
one of the foremost members of
the Fritz-Leiber company of the
Shakespearean society of Chicago,

society having temporarily dis
banded, he was able to return to
play Othello with the University
Players.

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
