"I fully aree with Kimball
Young, professor of psychology at
the University of Wisconsin, when
he recently declared: 'Wishful
thinking, a function of words
under which they serve to carry
emotional meanings and to signify
state and attitudes, causes Amer
icans to mumble through such
crises, as war and depression at
the level of verbal magic, " stated
Earl H, Bell, instructor in anthro
pology, department of sociology,
Monday.
"It ia human nature to be gul
lible to catch phrases and words,
such as used in today's advertis
ing," continued Mr. Bell, "and in
the presence of a crisis such as the
current depression or a war, peo
ple will 'fall' for about anything."

H0LSTEIN BULL PURCHASED
State Board of Control Will
Place It With Herd at
Beatrice.
The state board of control has
purchased from the University of
Nebraska college of agriculture a
purebred Holstein bull, which will
be placed with th herd at the in
stitution for feeble minded, Beat
rice. The animal, "U. Neb. Quantity
Kismer," comes of excellent milk
producing stock and was selected
by Superintendent Burford of the
institution and Robert Bell, super
visor of dairy herds at state insti
tutions. Bell said the university
considers the bull one of the best
it ever produced.
HELD WITH WESLEYAN
To Illustrate his point, Mr. Bell
pointed to the results obtained by
the propagandists of the last
year.
"This verbal magic ts created to
influence the people emotionally,
not rationally," continued Mr. Bell.
"Oftentimes political party catch
phrases are selected, because of
their smooth and pleasing rhythm,
not because of their seriousness.
Often they get the desired results."
"A student of mine came to me
recently with an excellent example
of 'word magic,' " stated the in
structor. "This student took the
word 'depression' and by crossing
out the first two letters and the
eighth, the result was a combina
tion of two words, 'press on,'
which, when repeated often
enough, would no doubt Influence
people greatly."

It so happens that answers

through the campus mail.
All contributions may be

simply an attempt to collect all
those "prize" replies which stu

wanted so much as the short,
concise human errors where the

DEATH OF GOETHE
IS
German Department Gives
Convocation Tuesday
Evening.
HONORED AT BROADCAST
One Hundredth Anniversary
Is Observed by Entire
World.
Students and faculty members
of the department of Germanic
languages commemorated the hun
dredth anniversary of the death of
the German poet Goethe in a spe
cial convocation at the Temple
theater, Tuesday evening. The pro
gram sponsored here was part of
a worl'l wide observance of the
day.
Prof. Laurence Wossler, chair
man of the department of Ger
manic languages addressed tbe
convocation on the subject of
"Goethe, the Man and His Work."
His address was preceded by a se
lection by the university orchestra
which played Beethoven's Over
ture to EgmonL The orchestra was
under the direction of Prof. Carl
Steckelberg.
Dr. Margaret Hochdoerfer of
the German department faculty,
explained the observance of the
anniversary and introduced Dr.
Fossler. A group of four lyrics
were presented by Miss Margaret
Cannell, student in the German de
partment. Prof. Michael Ginsburg . of the
department of classics also ap
peared on the prog'sm, speaking
on "Goethe, the Cosmopolitan."
His talk was followed by a selec
tion by a quartet composed of
Harold Hollingsworth, Harvey Hu
mann, Lyle DeMoss and Harvey
Hubbard.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
died one hundred years ago in
Weimar Germany. In Germany
particularly the poet has been rev
ered for his contributions to poet
ry and philosophy. The well known
drama Faust is based on the story
written by Goethe. The German
tribute to the famous poet will last
the entire year, with special serv
ices arranged for the hour of his
death one hundred years ago.
Every institution of higher learn
ing in the civilized world is taking
advantage of the one hundredth
anniversary of Goethe's death to
pay tribute to the great genius
whose labors have so signally en
riched the spiritual possessions of
mankind," declared Prof. Lau
rence Fossler in commenting on
the commemoration service.
Tuesday afternoon, the regular
university broadcasting hour was
devoted to a special program hon
oring Goethe.
L
International Unselfishness
Advocated; Assails Trade
Barriers.
J. E. Lawrence, associate pro
fessor of journalism at the Uni
versity of Nebraska, addressed the
members of the junior division of
the chamber of commerce at their
luncheon Tuesday, urging a more
unselfish attitude in world affairs.
"By the treaty of Versailles,"
said Mr. Lawrence, "nine new na
tions were brought into being and
by that treaty the destinies of 41
million people in those new nations
were disposed of. After making
these new nations we proceeded to
turn them over to work out their
own salvation as best they could.
Four of those nations had no sea
ports, three didn't have soil enough
to meet the food requirements of
their population and today, three
of those nations, who had their
roots reaching back a thousand
years, have disappeared from the
face of the globe. How did we ex
pect them to survive? We just
closed our eyes and said we wanted
nothing more to do with the whole
matter."
Trade barriers were assailed by
Mr. Lawrence who also declared
that sentiment is against the
United States entering the League
of Nations in the near future.
ILLINOIS EDUCATOR
FAVORS ECONOMIES
President Chase of the Univer
sity of Illinois recently told the
North Central Association of Col
leges that education must accept
the burden ot economic adjustment
or - the whole scholastic system
would be endangered.
"We must meet the challenge of
economy and efficiency," said the
Illinois educator, "and either we
ourselves must make intelligent
adjustments or they will be made
far less intelligently from the out
side." CAMPUS CALENDAR

Smoking Does Not Make Popularity;
Habit Often Causes Mental Unrest
Miss Winona Perry Thinks
School Cannot Exert
Much Influence.
"Just what, if anything, do you
think can be done to keep girls of
the high school ago from smok
ing?" This was the question asked
Miss Winona Perry, professor of
educational psychology and meas
urements. "I do not believe there is any
thing that we can do in the school
itself that will influence the girls
one way or another. It is the out
side conditions which either cause
them to smoke or keep them from
it," explained Miss Perry.
She went on to analyze the sit
uation by saying that large num
bers of girls tell her "that it was
their mothers who taught them to
smoke. "When they are encour
aged in the home it is rather hard
for the school to do a great deal
Nebraskan Error
Shotcs Big Advance
'In Reus Gathering
Although several papers fol
low the slogan, "Today's News
Today," the Daily Nebraskan
went them all one better in its
Tuesday morning edition by
printing next week's news yes
terday. Under the headline.
"Doctor Kraus to Give Lecture
on German Politics," the Daily
Nebraskan announced an all
university convocation jtist
seven days ahead of time.
Through the error of a re
porter and the oversight of
managing editor this story
managed to creep into the lead
position on page one and conse
quently Dr. J. R. Hertzler, in
charge of all-university convo
cations, had to post a notice in
the Temple auditorium to the
effect that announcement of the
convocation, as stated in the
paper, was just one week early.
Let the student reading pub
lic be assured that no deliberate
attempt was made to deceive
them and should an explanation
be desivd let it be said that the
paper was acting on the sup
position that students are just a
week behind in their reading.
Thus it followed that by the
time the story was read it would
be just in time for them to get
to their convocation.
u
Burnett and Former Mayor
Miller Favor Present
Closing Rule.
12 O'CLOCK RULE ASKED
Opposition to the proposed ordi
nance for the city of Lincoln to
permit dancing until midnight in
stead of 11:30, has been voiced by
Chancellor Burnett and former
Mayor J. E. Miller.
Chancellor Burnett said he pre
ferred the present arrangement as
to closing time.
"Of course from my point of
view, 11:30 p. m. is late enough.
People can have plenty of dancing
by that time. What the city coun
cil might do in changing the clos
ing hour would probably not influ
ence the university's attitude in re
quiring that all women students be
home by 12:30 p. m. We have on
some special occasions extended
the time of dancing until midnight
but not often. It seems to me that
with the present university custom
of not trading partners people
have ample time to dance if they
begin at 9:30 p. m."
The present ordinance was en
acted over thirteen years ago dur
ing the time J. E. Miller was
mayor. According to Mr. Miller,
the present hour of 11:30 is late
enough, "despite broader views to
day and a quickened pace of living,
the same problems, the same dan
gers confront the young people of
today as in years ago."
"I haven t thought much about
the matter since leaving the city
hall," said Mr. Miller, "but at that
time we were thoroughly convinced
that 11:30 p. m. was late enough.
The hour is late enough for stu
dents and too late for younger
people. There is no particular vir
tue in the time itself, except for
the fact that it permitted every
body to attend dances and still get
home by midnight."
The proposed ordinance, provid
ing for the extension of closing
time for dances from 11:30 to
midnight, was introduced by Mayor
Zehrung and placed on first read
ing at the meeting of the city
council held Monday, March 21,
and provided too much opposition
does not arise, will probably be
passed.
JUNIOR RECITAL PLANNED
Lorraine Lovgren and Abe

A junior recital will be given by

about it. What has to be done," de
clared Miss Perry, "Is to Insist that
the girls refrain from smoking.
Then we must see that the girls
are contented without their ciga
rettes; the girls must be happy in
the fact that they have stopped
smoking."
Dates Are Blamed.
Girls think that their dates want
them to smoke when the chances
are they would much rather they
wouldn't. Miss Perry gave a very
interesting experience of two
friends of hers. It seems that in
their work they had come in con
tact with gentlemen who con
stantly offered them ctgarettes.
One day the ladies decided to see
what the men would do if they did
accept the 'smokes.' When they
took the cigarettes, the gentlemen
seemed bothered and displeased.
Miss Perry thinks that boys and
men can help girls by not putting

Critic Says Magazine
Most Outstanding in
Five Years.
Is
ONE OF BEST APPEARING
Heralding the winter number as
the outstanding issue of the Prai
rie Schooner during the last live
years, George Grimes, literary
critic for the Omaha World-Herald,
lauds the Nebraska publica
tion. Interest and appeal were out
standing virtues of this issue, ac
cording to Grimes.
"The winter number of the Prai
rie Schooner is out, and I think it
is one of the best that has ap
peared in the five valiant years of
the magazine's history. By best, I
mean more interesting, more full
of meat, with stories that have
more appeal, poems that have
more poetry, special articles that
have more pep.
4 There is, for one thing, authen
tic pathos in Jose Garcia Villa's
story, "The Son of Rizal." There is
a sprightly point of view in Mar
garet Cannell's article, "A Plea for
the Untarnished Lady." There is
genuineness, too, in Robert Stur
gis' "The Real Cowboy." And of
course the poem by Helene Mar
garet is a good one. So a handful
of orchids for Lowry C Wimberly,
the editor," was the criticism of
Grimes.
A poem on the depression by
William Allen Ward was reprinted
in the World-Herald. The title of
the poem is "A Piece of Bread."

ABOUT POINT SYSTEM
Purpose and Machinery of
A. W. S. Explained by
Miss Hoffman.
The point system which is or
ganized by the A. W. S. board was
explained by Bereniece Hoffman,
president of that group, to the A.
W. S. freshman activities group at
its regular meeting Tuesday after
noon. The purpose of this system is to
secure a more balanced distribu
tion of activities on the campus.
It has recently been revised and
now includes all organizations in
which a girl may take part. Jun
ior and senior girls may not have
over 15 points, while Bcphomores
may have only ten. Membership
in an organization usuilly gives
a girl from one to four 'joints, and
an office gives her a larger num
ber. Miss Hoffman also explained
how members of various boards
are chosen, and how elections for
members of these boards are con
ducted. Jane Axtell. secretary of the A.
W. S. board, and one of the can
didates for president of the board
next year, then discussed the col
lecting of date slips for which the
group has been responsible.

WOMEN WILL NOT
BE COMPELLED TO
LIVE IN NEW DORM
Dean Heppner Believes It
Will Not Be Hardship
On Sororities.
COOPERATION IS NEEDED
Girls Who Are Not Living ir.
Sorority Houses Will
Be Benefited.
"Sororities are becoming nioii
alarmed than need be in regard tc
the new dormitory bringing about
deferred pledging," said Amend
Heppner, dean of women, when in
terviewed on the subject. "It wit
not be compulsory for anyone tc
live in the dormitory, either fresh
man or upperclassman."
Miss Heppner feels that the dor
mitory should not work a hard
ship on sororities, either in regarc
to deferred pledging or filling the
houses. The dormitory ia being
built principally for those girls
who are forced to seek accommo
dations in homes and boarding
houses. "If the sororities woulc
work with the dormitory instead
of against it, things would be bet
ter all around."
According to Miss Heppner
there are about 1,000 university
girls living in town with their par
ents or other relatives. About 300
live in sorority houses and this
leaves about 700 scattered in
rooming houses and dormitories.
Out of this 700, she maintains,
there should be 175 girls who
would prefer the better quarters
offered by the new dormitory. This
would not cause a hardship upon
sororities but simply serve the
girls who are not now living in
sorority houses.
Drawing Source.
"The dormitory could be made
to serve as a drawing source for
new members," Miss Heppner said,
"as the girls will not be compelled
to live there any more than they
are compelled to stay in tbe pres
ent dormitories more than one se
mester." For this reason she be
lieves that the sororities should co
operate with, rather than work
against the dormtiory.
"Active opposition to the dormi
tory by the sororities groups will
be the worst thing they can do,"
stated the dean of women. "All the
legislation that is made against
fraternities and sororities is made
because they have rendered them
selves unpopular with the people
over the state by some of their
actions." She maintained that on
many campuses lack of co-operation
with the school and with
school projects is what has killed
Greek organizations. "They should
fall in line," she said.
"We can not tell how the thing
will work out. After a year has
transpired we may find we will
need new rules and new legisla
tion. During that time tbe sorority
girls should praise the dormitory
so that girls now living in rooming
houses will take advantage of it."
Miss Heppner told of some
schools that recommend that
freshman girls live either in the
dormitory or in porority houses.
