ELECTION
University Substation at Mitchell
Experimenting With Crop Rotation
The crop rotation experiment
being conducted at the Mitchell,
Neb., substation of the University
of Nebraska is the largest set of
irrigated rotations in the United
States or perhaps in the world, de
clares Supt. James A. Holden. In
this experiment, be explained, there
are 182 quarter acre plots divided
into 47 different cropping systems.
These cropping systems vary in
length from continuous cropping
to a seven year rotation. Thirty
one of these cropping systems were
begun in the spring of' 1912 and
the other sixteen have been added
since.
There is now a marked differ
ence In the yields of the various
crops grown in these various rota
tions. The outstanding difference
is due to the beneficial effect ot
alfalfa, sweet clover and barnyard
manure used in the cropping sys
tem. The yield per acre of such
crops as potatoes, sugar beets, com
and small grain is now 100 percent
higher when grown in rotation
Salary Cuts, Course Eliminations Are
Last 'Resorts' in Economy, Dean Says
v ...
Teachers Executive Points
Out the Need for Right
Kind of Saving.
Reducing public expenditures by
slashing teachers' salaries and by
elimination of subjects from the
curriculum is regarded by Dean F.
E. Henzlik of the teachers college
as being justified only as a last re
sort, believing that such action
should be taken only after careful
consideration of all the factors and
conditions prevailing in the local
community.
"The schools have assumed a
new relationship to community
life," he said. "Teachers are paid
not solely to furnish instruction in
technical subjects, but are con
cerned in shaping and moulding
the lives of future citizens. Any
thing that seriously Impairs the
quality of instruction, therefore,
constitutes a danger to the state
and democracy."
If a question of economy, qual
ity of instruction of instructural
service should not be sacrificed,
the dean said. To take such action
without regard to the facts or the
ultimate results would be "fool
hardy." "There are many districts where
public expenditures must be re
duced in order to balance the bud
get or to live within the income.
Most districts can do this by a
carefully planned program. When
all reasonable economies possible
Eastern College
Has Armed. Arabs
Serve as Guards
(From the Syracuse Dally Orange.)
Those Who passed a certain fra
ternity house on Walnut Avenue
in Syracuse, N. Y., were astonished
to see two swarthy, turbanned
Arabs standing steadfastly on
guard before the classic portals.
Apparently they were armed to
the teeth for weapons shone in
sharp silhouette over their sturdy
shoulders.
A well dressed man emerged
from the door and the easterners
bent in reverential salaams before
him.
Closer investigation revealed the
weapons to be brooms and the tur
hans bath towels that had served
lone and faithfully for the
brothers. Just another phase
of
hell week making its appearance.
HAS LOST ITS SAVOR
Professor Crawford Relates
-
Effect of Depression on
Literature.
"The present period of depres
sion has sounded the death knell of
pessimistic literature in the middle
west," Professor Robert P. Craw
ford of the University of Nebras
ka told members of Psl Chi, psy
chological fraternity at the Uni
versity club, Monday evening.
"It was evident that such litera
ture was on the down grade a few
years ago but the hard times have
completely ruined it," Mr. Craw
ford stated. "The tremendous and
overwhelming success of the Aid
rich novels is an Indication of this
change.
"Just name, if you can, a single
book with the pessimistic slant on
the middle western life that has
had any sale at all the past few
years. Most of them have been
flops. Many book publishers have
not sensed this subtle change, and
that is why so many of them today
are looking the sheriff in the face.
"The book that reflected the de
terioration of human character
was more or less an attempt to
capitalize haphazardly on some of
the popular psychological ideas of
the past few years. Purporting to
be realistic it could not be so con
sidered unless we are to assume
that all people are nit wits, half
wits or just plain Idiots.
"In periods like the present it Is
inevitable that people should turn
to writing that does not picture
them as being in despair. When
vnn are already there, you cer
tainly do. not care to read about it.
The most distressing leaiure or
middle western literature has been
the recent errowth of what Mr.
Crawford termed the 'Speakeasy'
type of magazine. "Once upon a
tima magazines of this character
were hidden in the hayloft of the
barn but in certain ramuies toaay

with alfalfa, sweet clover or barn
yard manure than when grown in
rotation without these legume
crops or manure.
This is but one phase of the
work being carried on at this
branch of the state university In
the Interests of people in this ter
ritory, according to Superintendent
Holden. The work at this sub
station is in cooperation with the
United States office of western Ir
rigation agriculture. Other tests
now under way include fertilizing
tests with sugar beets, cultural
tests with sugar beets, potato and
vegetable work, lamb feeding ex
periments, steer feeding experi
ments, and tests with dairy cattle.
The Mitchell substation farm
consists of 960 acres together with
an additional tract of 400 acres
owned by the United States gov
ernment. Eleven buildings are on
the property, which with other im
provements, has an Inventory val
uation of $57,691, exclusive of the
government owned land.
PESSIMISTIC
WRITING
have been effected and still more
drastic action is necessary, it is
no longer a question of mere econ
omy but a question of curtailment
or retrenchment," Dean Henzlik
contended.
"If elimination of subjects is ne
cessary those fartherest away
from actual classroom Instruction
should suffer. Curtailments should
first affect activities that least
permanently affect the learner.
The need for educational institu
tions to be economical is recog
nized. It behooves administrators
of educational institutions to be as
economical as possible with public
funds. It is their duty and obliga
tion to find, If possible, the ways
and means of securing the same
service for less money, or more
and better service for the same
amount of money.
"Elimination of duplication of
service, increasing of class size In
certain grades, alternating sub
jects in two or more grades in the
smaller schools, establishing mini
mum teaching loads, and taking
advantage of labor saving devices
and procedures are a few of the
many economies possible.
"To meet the present economic
burdens we should first seek out
the major causes or sources of our
trouble. Taxes are not the cause of
hard times. Whatever action taken
should be done so only after care
ful consideration of all factors and
prevailing conditions."

piece band to take on the road trip
during spring vacation when the
show will play at a number of the
larger towns in eastern and cen

is "Let's Get Together." "Corn
Cobs and Tassels" is the number
of the next selection. This is a solo
vocal selection. "Don't Be Blue'
is the next solo. The pajama dance
by the pony chorus is one of the
live numbers of the play. The first
act closes with the serenade num

both choruses.
The second and last act opens
with "Snowflakes" and the chorus
dances and sings -and there is a
specialty number. "That's My

Student Council Committee
Convenes Wednesday in
U Hall.
MEET FOR FIRST TIME
Meeting for the first time to
consider the problem of the politi
cal realignment of fraternities on
the campus, the committee ap
pointed by the student council will
convene Wednesday afternoon In
U hall to discuss the question.
Edwin Faulkner, president of
the student council, will act as ex
officio chairman of the group,
which consists of Willard Hedge
and Phil Brownell, members of the
student council; Otis Detrick, Dick
Devereaux, and Delphian Nash,
faction presidents; Art Wolf, Bill
McGaffin, and Richard Bell, mem
bers of the Innocents society, and
Professors E. W. Lantz and E. F.
Schramm, members of the faculty.
Appointment of the committee
was recommended to the Student
Council by the Innocents society,
as a result of the meeting called
several weeks ago to discuss the
problem of the decline of Interest
in student activities. A committee
consisting of Art Wolf, Bill Mc
Gaffin, and Edwin Faulkner, re
ported on the meeting to the stu
dent council, recommending the
appointment of the committee.
The main reason for the lack of
Interest in activities, as brought
out in the meeting, was the unbal
anced political alignment present
among the fraternities on the
campus. Six other causes were dis
cussed, but the problem of the
alignment was considered the most
important.

Students Are Members of
Athletic Council; Are
Appointive.
Three students are members of
the Athletic council at Southern
Methodist university, according to
a letter received by Art Wolf,
chairman of the Student council
committee on athletic relations.
The council was organized nine
teen years ago.
The athletic council at that In
stitution is composed of three stu
dents appointed by the Student
council, two alumni, two business
men of the city, one member of
the board of trustees of the uni
versity, the president of the uni
versity, the business manager of
the university, chairman of the
faculty athletic committee, direc
tor of athletics, and a member of
the faculty appointed by the presi
dent. In addition to all of these mem
bers, all of whom have equal vot
ing power, student managers of
athletic teams attend the meetings
of the athletic council, but they
do not hsve the power to vote.
A conference ruling requires
that the faculty of the university
have control of athletics. This is
exercised by the faculty commit
tee of athletics, which Is at all
times open to suggestions and rec
ommendations from the athletic
council.

Organization of Alumni Loyalty Fund
Advocated by Crawford in Alumnus
Wants Small Gifts to Be
Given Each Year as a
Means of Aid.
Organization of an Alumni Loy
alty fund of small gifts each year
is urged by Robert P. Crawford,
'17, In an article on "The Greatest
Need of the University of Ne
braska" appearing in the March
number of the Alumnus, issued
Tuesday.
Citing the needs for student
loan funds, scholarships, and gifts
for distinctive buildings that can
not be considered by the legisla
ture for a period of years, so
pressing are the demands always
for Just the plain unadorned struc
tures that bouse classrooms and
offices, Mr. Crawford shows how
these steps may be made.
"In fact," states Mr. Crawford,
"I am willing to say that almost
anything that the University of
Nebraska has been criticized for
by alumni or friends in the past
ten years is a matter that could
be remedied almost overnight with
gifts of reasonable amounts of
money."
The complete article follows:

Can See No Harm of Student
Representation on
Board.
REGENTS MUST DECIDE
'I cannot see that student rep
resentation on the athletic board
would in any way be harmful, nor
can I see trKt it would be of any
particular benefit, stated Dean
T. J. Thompson when asked his
opinion concerning the move to
place student members on the
board.
'Many schools carry on their
athletic progrjjjri under that plan,
but it is doubtful tnat tneir ma
chinery operates any more smooth
ly than does ours at the present
time."
Dean Thompson commented that
there had always been co-operation
between the board and the
students, that no petition presented
to the board by the students naa
ever been disregarded. "I can see
no objection to the plan," lie
stated, "but 1 also see no oojecuon
to the present system."
The initiative for the change
must come from the board of
regents, not from the athletic
board, for the athletic board it3Clf
was created by the regents. What
ever the board of regents decide
concerning the proposal will de
termine its fate, he said.
"The success of student repre
sentation, I think," the dean stated,
"will depend in a great part on the
method employed in choosing the
representatives. To make a strictly
political "job" of it, would cer
tainly aot contribute to its success.
The plan of choosing one repre
sentative from each of the two
major parties, as advocated by the
council, may in a measure prevent
it from becoming merely a politi
cal position."
The council's proposal provided
for the choosing of two student
representatives to the athletic
board, one junior and one senior
member. The junior member shall
be carried over from one year to
the next as the senior member. A
new junior member shall be chosen
each year, from the opposite po

Most of us perhaps would not
think of North Carolina as a rich
state. It has had its agricultural
problems quite as much as Ne
braska and it has by no means
been immune irom financial de
pression. But it will rather astound
one to know what the graduates
and friends of that university did
for it in the year 1930. Not only
did the institution receive the gift
of the bell tower but it received
many other things as well. In the
first place, over two thousand
alumni contributed $41,000 in
small unrestricted gifts, each one
giving according to his ability. One
man gave $80,000 to complete the
student union building, and when
I visited North Carolina last
spring the stone masons and car
penters were busy at work. One
friend of the institution had given
it a magnificent pipe organ, but
the institution lacking place to put
it, he gave an additional $88,000
for a small musical auditorium,
just the sort of a building that
would delight the University of
Nebraska. One woman gave
$25,000, the endowment on .which
was to be used for the purchase of
rare southern literary documents.

New South Wales
Experiments With
Super'' Children
Experimental schools have been
started in New South Wales to
discover whether it is really worth
while to spend extra money on the
education of children of excep
tional ability.
After mental tests and a thor
ough medical examination, these
"super" children are given every
opportunity to develop brilliance.
Their achievements later, as
adults, will be carefully noted.
Education Minister Davies, who
is introducing the scheme, says
that while millions of dollars are
spent on subnormal, delinquent
and truant children, the pupils of
outstanding intelligence are
grouped with the rank and file and
their mentality is retarded.

year.
"Gore," written by the Snoop

comment on the campus at this
time and the release day of this
issue will undoubtedly be an event
ful day for a number of campus
people. This page is probably the
outstanding feature in the March

students.
The Awgwan will include
twenty-eight pages this month, an
increase of four pages over any
previous issue. Three hundred
more copies are being printed this
month in view of the complete
sellout of the February number
the first day of the sales cam

burlesque on college life and pic
