Chancellor Emeritus Samuel Avery
Recounts Interesting History of the
Development of University Campus
BY BOYD KREWSON.
"The growth of the enmpus of the University of Nebraska
is an interesting story," stated Chancellor Emeritus Samuel
Avery Tuesday. "With a meager beginning the campus has
expanded to its present size slowly, and 1 welcome the oppor
tunity to bo of service to Nebraska's present students in re
counting the building of their almu mater."
Delving into history, which m-o
eludes eighteen years of his own
chancellorship, Chancellor Emerit
us Avery recalled, "starting in the
1860s, with four blocks, within the
confines of 12th and 10th streets
and R street and T street, the
campus was adjacent to the choice
residential section of Lincoln.
These four blocks were surrounded
by a high iron fence 'to keep out
the cows and goats' some people
say, and had but one building,
University hall.
This fence had two gates, ac
cording' to the doctor. These gates
are now situated at either side of
the east entrance to University
hall and are utilized as bulletin
boards. The iron fence was re
moved just following the war and
is now used at Wyuka cemetery.
It can be seen to the north of O
street as one drives by the ceme

"This old building has quite a
history. It has been condemned
frequently as being unsafe, but its
first condemnation was before it
was completed. Native sandstone
was used for the foundation and
this stone began to crumble soon.
It was replaced by native lime
stone, such as the stone of which
the penitentiary is built. The lime
stone is today's foundation."
The state sold lots to raise the
building funds for this building,
and could not meet additional ex
pense of the new foundation, Doc

SURVEY REVEALS
BEAUTY, BRAINS
FOUND TOGETHER
Beauty and brains go together
is the conclusion of Dr. Leta Hol
lingsworth, professor of education
at Columbia university, following
a careful study of all recent sur
veys on the subject of beauty and
brains.
A beautiful girl, according to
her new theory, is almost sure to
be intelligent, while an ugly girl
in all probability, is dumb.
Dr. Hollingsworth brought her
theory to the support of the
choius girl saying:
"1 believe that chorus girls are
extremely intelligent, as a whole.
They are good looking and tall,
and these characteristics, our tests
show, indicate brain power."
For the last ten years Dr. Hol
lingsworth has studied a group of
filty-six unusually intelligent chil
dren, selected at the age of seven
or eight, from the public schools of
New York. Each year, she say3,
these children have grown in sta
ture and beauty and each year
they have maintained their high
intelligence average and their hign
rating irt school.

Dr. Fordyce Agrees With Columbia
Professor That Proverb 'Beautiful
But Dumb' Proved False Maxim
BY VIOLET CROSS.
"The more perfect the face, the more perfect the mind,"
that is the verdict of Dr. Charles Fordyce who is the ehairninn
of educational psychology at the university. Asymmetry in
features is invariably connected with irregularities of the mind,
he claims.
Dr. Lota HollinRsworth, professor of education at Columbia
university has made the Btatementy
that attractive girls are more in
telligent than ugly ones. When
asked what he thought or tne va
lidity of this announcement, Dr.
Fordyce Became very mucn inter
ested, in fact, almost enthusiastic
about the matter.
Tn class lectures," continued Dr.
Fordyce, "we bring imbeciles and
other mental defectives to illus
trate this very point. Generally
speaking you will find that one
eye is larger than the other, that
one ear is set higher on the head,
or that by some other asymmetry
their countenance is very unpleas
ant to look upon."
To prove further the point that
intelligence and beauty are almost
inseparable, Dr. Fordyce showed
the interviewer some slides which
he used in Illustrated . lectures.
First there came several very un
attractive faces belonging . to in
dividuals who were mentally defec
tive. Lindbergh's picture appeared
and the interviewer noted at once
the attractive, well-proportioned
face. Following this were several

FEAR DECREASE IN SALES
Officials Believe Proposal
Would Eventually Causr
Dissatisfaction.
That the single tax plan under
which athletics as well as all other
extracurricular activities would be
financed will not work at Ne
braska, was the opinion expressed
by John Selleck and Herb Gish,
athletic department officials in in
terviews Tuesday.
Voluntary tax as advocated by
Editor Arthur Wolf in Sunday's
Daily Nebraskan is not the solu
tion to the perennial problem of
how to finance various school ac
tivities, according to Selleck, busi
ness manager of athletics.
Pointing out that approximately
3,500 athletic books are sold each
year, Selleck declared that the
price of athletic tickets would be
higher if the single tax plan were
In force.
"Activities such as publications,
dramatics, debate and others
would benefit from such a plan,
but in so doine would decrease the
number of athletic books sold.
Consequently there would have tq
be a higher price lor our stuaent
books, which is exactly contrary
to the purpose of the single tax,''
Selleck asserted.
Opposed to Compulsion.
"The only way the single tax
plan would be practical at Ne
braska would be to make it com
pulsory for each student to pay
$12 or $15 or whatever the sum
mitrht be at registration time, but
I am Irrevocably opposed to such
a plan.
"Students snouidn t De rorcea to
buy an athletic ticket when they
don't want to purchase one," was
the way Selleck put it.
"We have many students nere
who work, more so than at any
other Big Six school, and it would
be rank injustice to require mem
to pay a lump sum for the support

other equally good illustrations.
An Intelligent baby is always a
'bright' appearing one and it Is
easy to select the defective child,
say's Dr. Fordyce.
When the name Hollingsworth
was mentioned the doctor's smile
brightened to a wide grin. "Yes,"
he offered amicably, "I know both
Mr. and Mrs. Hollingsworth." Mr.
Hollingsworth comes from Hoi
drege, Neb., and was a student un
der Dr. Fordyce at the university.
While attending Columbia, Dr.
Fordyce was a classmate of Mrs.
Hollingsworth.
"I have books by both of the
Hollingswoith's and believe they
have contributed a great deal to
this particular field," concluded
Prof. Fordyce. He mentioned
again in a very serious manner
the connection between symmetry
of feature and intelligence. In this
case the proverb "beautiful but
dumb" was just a way of getting
even with attractive women and
girls.

DESCRIBES Y. W. C. A.
Retiring President Talks
To Freshman Activity
Group Tuesday.
HOLD SPRING ELECTIONS
The organization and purpose of
the Y. W. C. A. were described by
Marjorie Petersen, retiring presi
dent of the organization at the
freshman activity group of the A.
W. S. Tuesday afternoon.
"The Y. W. C. A. is the only re
ligious group on the campus," Miss
Petresen said "It has no definite
connection with the university as
the A. W. S. does because it Is not
concerned with disciplinary prob
lems. Such organizations as the
W. A. A. are concerned more with
the social problems of the girl, but
in the regular meetings of the Y.
W. C. A. vespers the religious
and inspirational activities are em
phasized." Elections are held In the spring,
the president, vice-president, sec
retary and treasurer being chosen
at this time. The new president
appoints the cabinet members who
must have an average of 80, and
who are usually juniors or seniors.
Each cabinet member heads a
staff of seven girls who take
charge of various phase of the
work. The summer conferences at
Estes park are a feature of the
summer program. These are at
tended by members of the Y.' M.
C. A. and of the Y. W. C. A., and
are not only very inspirational but
are also the scene of many good
times.
"Up to this time," Miss Peter
sen stated, "there has been a pres
ident of the Ag college Y. W. C. A.
who attends the regular meetings
on the Ag campus. However, we
are planning next year to have an
Ag staff instead of a president,
which will be responsible for work
at the college."
Girls who wish to sign up for
various staffs for next year will
be given an opportunity to do so
in the near future.

OPINION FAVORS
REALIGNMENT OF
CAMPUS GROUPS
Problem of 'What to Do' Is
Perplexing; Committee
Meets Wednesday.
ACTIVITY INTEREST LAGS
Present Political Ailments
Said to Be Cause of
Virtual Inertia.
BY THE OBSERVER.
Political sentiment in most
quarters is highly favorable to
the work of faction realignment
which will be begun Wednesday
afternoon when the student coun
cil committee on realignment
meets for the first time to com
mence Investigations.
There is campuf-wldc agree
ment that ' something must be
done to. .correct' the apparently-deep-seated
political ailments that
caused a virtual inertia In the af
fairs politic . of the student body.
The matter of "what to do," how
ever, is one which is far more per-
plexing.
Much light will undoubtedly r
shed on the whole situation at the
committee meeting this afternoon.
After the inauguration of the re
alignment suggestion by the Inno
cents society committee on student
spirit, the student council Immedi
ately began work on the matter
with the appointment of the com
mittee on realignment which will
meet for the first time this after
noon. Members of the committee
are as follows:
Edwin Faulkner, president of
the student council, chairman ex
officio; Willard Hedge, Phil Brow
nell, student council representa
tives; Otis Detrick, Yellow Jacket
president; William Devereaux,
Blue Shirt president; Delphian
Nash, barb president, and Art
Wolf, William McGaffin, and Rich
ard Bell, members of the Inno
cents society, and Professors W.
E. Lantz and E. F. Schramm, fac
ulty members.
The major reason for the inves-
tigatidn of possibilities of fac
tional realignment lies in the fact
that to the present political align
ments are ascribed tne cause for
lack of interest in activities. Re
ports of the committee's action
will follow.
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS

Undergraduates Dominate
Athletic Policies at
Western School.
Students at the University of
California exercise complete juris
diction in matters of finance, ac
tivities, and government, concern
ing athletics, according to Fred S.
Stripp, president of the Associated
Students at that Institution.
The athletic board of control at
California has the following per
sonnel: the president of and one

ciety; the president of and one rep
resentative from the circle u so
ciety, the senior athletic manager,
one representative from the execu

ate athletic manager.
All student activities are carried
on thru the organization known as
the Associated Students of the
University of California, This or
ganization has financial and man
agerial control of both athletic and
non-athletic student activities.
The athletic council, composed of
six undergraduates and one grad
uate student, who holds office at
the pleasure of the executive com
mittee, makes all rules and regula

ranges . meets, schedules, makes
budgets, and formulates policies,
subject only to the approval of the
