OF NEW CABINET China's Plight Appears Serious To Former Nebraska Students Who Are at Work in Native Country By MUNRO KEZEE. Editor Dally Nebratkan, 1929. China's predicament is more serious to a group of former Nebraska students than the distressing reports carried con stantly over the wires indicate. The students are themselves Chinese, trying to play a part in the rehabilitation of their native land after a period of training in modern developments at the University of Nebraska. a groun of seven Chinese stu- dents were here together, during moBt of 1923-1928. One of them is back in school now taking fur ther work. The others, however, are, or have been active in their chosen fields. From one of these, L!an Yu, has come a letter to Rev. Dean R. Leland, describing experiences of some of the boys since their return to China, and also telling his story of the disasters at Shanghai, where be is employed by a telephone company. Llan Yu got bis start in tele phony while attending the univetf sity here. He was fascinated by the dial phone. He wanted to know what was behind it, how it operated. Dr. Leland introduced him to officials of the Lincoln Telephone Co., and asked them to let him go behind the scenes.

Two more prize "boners" were given in answer to questions in Professor Senning's course in ele mentary political science: Question: What is a congress-man-at-large. Answer: A congressman who is neither at Washington nor at home. The other came as a student's answer when asked the three methods of closing debate in the house of commons. The answer, was the compartment closure, pre vious question and kangaroo clos ure. The first two were given cor rectly. For the third a student volunteered: "Giraffe closure." AT MACHINE BY DEAN O.

But I am ashamed of our inability to "flow" socially as promptly as we do industri ally, to adjust ourselves to change. Prosperity, success, wealth, ad vancement, do not destroy a civi lization. It is the uncorrected evils growing up simultaneously with them which destroy. They are the "Gobble-uns that'll git you, if you don't watch out!"

MANY REQUESTS MADE Vogeler Reports Many Men Have Favored Idea of Joint Use. No objection to having men and women use the new swimming pool in the Coliseum at the same time was seen by Miss Mabel Lee, head of the department of wom en's physical education, when questioned Saturday. In fact she'd like to see the swimming pool become more of a social medium, she said. Swim ming parties to which faculty members and their wives would come would also be a good idea, she thinks. Many requests have been re ceived by Rudy Vogeler, director of intramural athletics and swim ming coach, that men and women be permitted to use the pool at the same hours, he reports. Most of these requests come from men. The coeds apparently don't care much whether they get to swim with the men or not, declares Miss Lee. What the women want is in struction. No Specific Prohibition. University authorities have passed no regulations specifically, prohibiting mixed bathing, but the schedule as posted includes no "coeducational" swimming hours. Said the Omaha World-Herald Saturday: Studious youths earning an hour's credit toward an A.B. de gree by learning the Australian crawl may not go into the pool in advance of the class and "cram" for an exam. They've got to wait until the bell rings and the coeds have departed." "But more of the student world is interested in the issue now," volunteers the Omaha paper. "At last the men have gotten rid of "athletes foot" and gained permis sion to use the pool. Warmer weather, too, has increased interest in the sport. But the students find that when they want to go swimming this hour is reserved for women only or vice versa." L E. GUNDERSON LAYS L Employment Drive Will Be Launched During Week By Legion.

George Washington might have done it with Ins little hatchet but Pickering has wielded his loquacious brush und has smeared a canvas or numury by mixing the ludicrous with the ridiculous. "The pictures aren't a serious at tempt at portraying the life of George Washington, but are painted from a humorous stand point, for Washington enjoyed a good story. Rupert Hughes tells of one time that Washington laughed so bard he bad to roll on the floor," Pickering explained. With this In mind Pickering at tempted to make the pictures hu morous.
