"Every age believes that the younger generation is going to the dogs," affirmed Roy E. Cochran, professor of American history, "but a survey of social history would demonstrate that every age has its peculiar drawbacks. Materialism is the vice of our nge." "There are," continued Professor Cochran, "striking dit- feivnrM in thp rnflpa of Conducts and standards of achievement of every age.

MET FRIDAY, SATURDAY A conference of county officials and those interested in county gov ernment was held under the aus pices of the department of political science Friday and Saturday at the Cornhusker hotel. About fifty people, including county clerks and assessors, members of the legisla ture, faculty members of the uni versity, representatives of the League of Women Voters, news paper editors and visitors from universities in other states partici pated in the discussions. The conference was the first such event held in Nebraska. It was made possible by a plan re cently adopted by the American Political Science association whereby funds are provided by the association to states wishing to conduct such a conference. The political science department of the university, of which Fror. John i. Senning is head, formulated the plans for the Nebraska conclave and secured the approval of the American Political Science associa tion. One of the provisions stipulated bythe national association is that representatives of the press shall be excluded from the meetings of the conferences. This provision is expected to insure a freer discus sion and forestall the using of the conference by some officials as a means of making political capital, Lancaster Leads Discussion. The conference convened Friday morning with some introductory remarks by J. P. Senning. Prof. Lane W.

"It formerly was legal," he de clared, "in large sections of the world, to enslave humans and it was thought that such a practice paid economically. It is now an al most universally accepted theory that slavery was one of the worst influences in that period and that it was economically a mistake."

ATHLETIC BOARD AT E Syracuse University Places Student Member on Equal Basis With Others. FOUR CONSTITUTE PANEL Two Alumni, Faculty Member and President Student Body Form Group. Completely reorganizing the athletic board of control this year, Syracuse university has placed one student member on the board with powers equal to those of other members of the board, Milton C. Weiler, president of the student body at that institution, reports. Before the inauguration of the new system, the board was com posed of the graduate manager of athletics, the vice-chancellor, two members of the faculty, two alumni, three or four trustees, and the president of the student body and two elected juniors. These stu dents had no voting power. This group, according to Weiler, was too large and unwieldy to act efficiently, and the need for reor ganization was felt. This year the whole athletic association was re organized under the head of the athletic board of directors, a group which has so far proved much more efficient. Student On Board. The members of the newly or ganized board are: a faculty repre sentative, two alumni, one of whom is a trustee, and the student member, who is the president of the student body. He automatically becomes a member, and his term of office is one year. "The members of the board have seemed to enjoy having a student representative sit with them and bring the problems of the athletes and the students before them," Weiler states in his letter. "They have thought well enough of the idea to suggest the placing of the authority to make black "S" awards into the hands of the stu dent element." MARCH COMIC 10 GO ON SALE NEXT WEEK Awgwan Uses Spring Motif; Editor Announces New Improvements. TO PRINT MORE COPIES The March number of the Awg wan will be released for sale about the middle of next week, Editor Marvin Robinson said Monday. The March issue features a spring motif and will reveal a great deal of interesting material along this theme, he commented. "A great many more improve ments in the form and appearance of the magazine have been made this month and the addition and enlargement of several depart ments makes the spring issue bet ter than any previous edition," stated Robinson. One of the leading features this month is a story by J. T. Coffee entitled, "Roses Are Red, Violets Are Tw You Know What They Are." "Gore," by the Snoopers is another distinct feature devulging many intimate details and personal sayings of campus people written in the famous Winchell style. The Campus Tempo department, which met with acclaim last month, has been enlarged. "This issue will contain more material than any previous edition and the Awgwan should again meet the approval of the campus," said Robinson. More copies are being printed to cope with the de mand due to the fact that last month the supply was wiped off the stands the first day and the newslands failed to receive their quota. A large amount of material from recent issues has been reprinted in other comic magazines throughout the country. Among those re printing material from the Awg wan are: Temple University Owl, Wisconsin Octopus, Grinnell Mal teaser, and the Utah Humbub.

BAND GETS SEVEN I Five Foot Drum, Two Lyres, Four Special Trumpets Purchased. EQUIPMENT OUTSTANDING A five foot drum mounted on a carriage, two new lyres and four special trumpets made their ap pearance wlttl me ft. U. 1. . nanu at the Nebraska-Creighton basket ball game, Monday night. The new equipment was purchased from funds that have been set aside for that purpose. Nebraska is the only school in the Big Six that can boast of hav ing such extensive equipment, ac cording to John K. Selleck, direc tor of student activities. The com pany that manufactured the gigan tic drum had to visit several stock yards in Chicago before they could find a hide big enough for the drum. The two silver lyres are orna mented with a silver tassel on each side. The four trumpets will be decorated with Nebraska colors. A special belt will be required to help carry the lyres. The athletic department had an opportunity to view an up to date band at the Northwestern game last fall. Both Purdue and North western bands had equipment simi lar to that recently purchased by Nebraska. It was observed at the Big Ten football game that the formation for the band was to have the two lyres behind the drum major and to have the trum pets following the lyres, the rest of the band coming on behind. "I believe that the new equip ment will add to the interest of Cornhusker fans. The lyres are very beautiful to hear, I was very much impressed with those at Northwestern," Mr. Selleck said. The new instruments will be used in the band concerts this year, in the R. O. T. C. parades ana at football games. mSISege Is First in Kansas History; Used by Nebraska 60 Years Ago.

"What is the ideal girl of the average college man! Several men students think that there is no such thing as an ideal girl.

Edwin Faulkner, Phi Kappa Psi, and president of the student council, says: "I have no time to figure that out. 1 do think, how ever, the most Important quality any girl can have is a pleasing personality. It is hard to judge this quality. It is Indefinable. But it la the most important attribute any girl can have." The editor of the Awgwan, Mar vin Robinson, member of Delta Upsllon, states; "My ideal girl should be able to carry on an in telligent conversation. This ability is a great asset in any girl.
