To Houses Where Five

URGE GOOD ATTENDANCE
Larger Groups Mean Better
Chances for Success
Says Faulkner.
Preliminary steps In the cam
paign to organize barb students on
the campus into effective political
groups will be taken Thursday
evening when a group of speak
ers, members of the faction re
alignment committee and others
appointed by Edwin Faulkner,
president of the Student council,
will present the proposed program
of organization to unaffiliated stu
dents In rooming houses where
there are five or more such stu
dents living.
Two speakers have been as
signed to each pair of houses,
twenty-one In number. The stu
dents in these various houses have
been notified by letter of the plan
and art expected to be present
Thursday evening to listen to the
program as it is presented to them
and to take the first steps toward
organizing themselves.
The plan as contemplated by the
faction realignment committee
would use these houses where
there Is already a nucleus of or
ganization as the basis for an ex
tensive system of barb clubs. The
committee decided at its last meet
ing that these students, once or
ganized, would be able to attract
to their groups other unaffiliated
students who live by themselves or
in houses where there are less man
five barbs.
Promising Remedy.
The committee announced fol
lowing its first meeting that the
most promising remedy for the
present Inequality In the faction
alignment, and the consequent lack
of interest in certain branches of
student activity, was the organiza
tion of barbs Into effective politi
cal groups who would again be
ahle to restore the balance of
nower between competing factions,
It was jolnled out at the meeting
that the barb groups should also
become media for more extensive
social and Intramural sports ac
tivlty.
The speakers who are to outline
the program of organization will
meet Thursday afternoon at i
o'clock In U hall 106 to receive in
structlona and decide on a uniform
method of presentation, it is pos
sible, according to Edwin Faulk
ner, that the various groups may
be able to begin active organiza
tlon Thursday night by electing of
ficers. "The committee would agair
like to urge the students who are
living at the houses which will be
visited Thursday evening, to be
Dresent between 7 and 8 o'clock
said Edwin Faulkner, chairman of
the faction realignment committee.
"We would also urge that any
barb students not living in these
houses be Invited to attend the
meetings by those who do live
there. The larger the groups that
respond immediately to this pro-
gram, the better are the chances
for its success."

JOURNALISTS
AT CONVOCATION
First Meeting of Writers to

Wednesday.
EDITOR FAIRBURY NEWS

Kansas; Prominent
In Field.
Coeds Wishing to Make an
Application Should See
Miss Beers.
The first general convocation of
the school of journalism ilils year
will feature a talk by Doyle L.
Buckles outlining advcitising pro
motion methods relative to the
country newspaper. The convoca
tion will be held in the Social Sci
ence auditorium Wednesday eve
ning at 7:15.
Mr. Buckles, present editor of
the Falrbviry News, was graduated
from the department of Journalism
of tho University of Kansas and
his since then served on both the
editorial and business staffs of
metropolitan and coummunity
newspapers. He won national
prominence In 1931 by winning
first place in the Community Ser
vice contest of the National Edi
torial association.
The community service award is
made every year on the basis of
the public service performed by
the newspaper. It is not restricted
to papers which belong to the as
sociation, but includes all the
country newspapers in the United
States. The trophy which is given
to the winner of the contest was
provided by James Wright Brown
of the Editor and Publisher.
Since he has worked in both de
partments, Buckles is familiar
with the editorial and business
staffs of a newspaper. He stated
that he felt the greatest opportun
ity for young men and women lies
in the editorial phase of the work.
Students in Journalism 188, the
Community Newspaper, which
meets regularly on Wednesday
nignt, are required to attend the
convocation. All students in the
school of journalism and other
students interested in journalism
are urged by Gayle C. Walker, di
rector of the school, to attend.
Members of the classes in adver
tising and salesmanship and mem
bers of the staffs of the campus
publications have also been invited.
University Students in Germany Have
Absolute Freedom Declares Dr. Kraus
Visiting Professor Tells of
Differences in Schools
Of Ttvo Countries,
"Students at German universi
ties have absolute freedom," de
clared Dr. Herbert Kraus, profes
sor at Gottingen university, Ger
many, in drawing a comparison
between universities in his native
country and in the United States
in a special interview Tuesday.
"Our universities are based on
the principle that the student
should be allowed, not forced, to
learn. He is not obliged to attend
classes. There are no restrictions
on his conduct. There is no pre
scribed curriculum. But we find
out whether the student has
wasted his time or not at the time
when he takes his very strict ex
amination for a degree."
Dr. Kraus admitted that the sys
tem is a hard one. Everything is
abstract in nature, he said. Even
the law schools study only basic
principles, not cases. The result of
it is that a large number of stu
dents who are not ripened suffi
ciently 10 gel along well In the
scholarly atmosphere where con
duct and study is purely self reg
ulated became lazy and flunk out
he continued.
"The system is a cruel one it
some ways," he said, "but it li
best because it goes on the prln
ciple of selection of the fittest and
abandonment of the unfit.
Scholarly and Dignified.
The whole system, according to
Dr. Kraus, is meant to be scholarly
and dignified. He inferred by the
gestures and facial expressions
which he mane when he referred
to compulsory class attendance.
prescribed curriculums, and rules
and regulations regarding student
conduct, that the German univer
slty would consider such authority
over students as fit only for the
elementary schools, and in no way
consistent with the attitude of
"pure science and research" which
prevails at the German university
according to his description.
But German university students
are more mature than students in
American colleges, he explained
The schools include what corres
ponds to the last two years of uni
versity work. in this country plus
graduate work. This Is partly the
reason for the more scholarly and
mature attitude of study which
prevails at their universities, he
believes.

are absolutely awful," Dr. Kraus

Sprite Prematurely Eulogizes March
Passing as Snow Predicted by Blair
By THE SPRITE.
"You never know what March
will do," according to T. A. Blair,
weather man. If the weather man's
prediction comes true this para
doxical month will prove his as
sertion today. Tuesday at 2 o'clock
the temperature was 73. the hot
test day of the year.. Wednesday,
today, Is scheduled to descend to
28 to 25 degrees with rain turning
to snow during the course of the
day. A complete wardrobe from
shirt sleeves to long undies is nec
essary during this wild month.
Strong winds from the north
west will bring the cold weather.
The wind was puffing at the rate
of thirty miles an hour Tuesday
and an equal speed la prophesied
for today. "Thi cold spell Isn't apt
to last long," is the only consola
tion that the weather man would
offer.
The fickleness of March is a cli
matic sin. No sooner are golf clubs
oiled and knickers clenned, than
March starts her caprices.
You don't expect to have It snow
on the Fourth of July or have a
temnpinture of 100 on Christmas
but il Is Impossible to know what
to expect of March.
Vou can use your tennis
racquets for snowsuoes, your ball
bats for ball bats. Do anything you
want to with them, see if the Daily
Nebraskan cares.
With only one day left, March Is
singing Its Swan song and with its
exit will coma hopes of a fairly
constant madam, April. It always
rains in April, unless it halls.
The Narcissus will brave the In
consistencies of March and the
tears of April, and by the time
May rolls around we can plan pic
nics and picnics and picnics.

the National Socialist party, or tha
Hitler party, was presented before
an almost capacity audience in the
Temple theater Tuesday morning
by Dr. Herbert Kraus, professor of
International law and diplomacy at
Gottingen university, Germany.
"The most significant thing
about the Hitler movement," de
dared Dr. Kraus, "Is that It ex- k
presses the dominant idea in Ger ,
many today; that 'things have got
to be changed.' The movement la
a reaction to what haa ben hap-
pening in Germany since the war.
It is successful becautte it prom- "
ises something d'fferent ,Jt- '.is
primarily supported by youth, bt-
cause youth is inclined - to believe '.'

Professor Kraus indicated that
at last the German people are be- .
coming disillusioned with the old
regime. The disarmament confer
ences, the promises of help from
foreign nations, the visits of for
eign statesmen, are beginning to '
wear tbln, he said. Germans are
oeginning to qoudi me amniy or ..
u Jii; m 1 1 . : . -
the key to the success of Adolf . ,
Hitler, and other radical leaders of ,
todny. '
"American newspapers hailed '
the victory of Hindenburg in tha '
insv cicuuuu po n great. LI lump n
for conservatism in Germany," he
pointed out, "but the figure
actually demonstrate that the na
tional socialists are now the larg;- -est
single party in the country,
and should there be an election for - .'
the reichstag. they would get over
200 out of the 600 seats in that
body."
Chancellor Hitler?
In surh an ,.n t rw t
stated, Hitler could become Chan-.'
cellor of th jrovernment. "Imag
ine," he said, ""Hitler serving -aV.
chancellor with President v
Hindenburg." i ,'
ur. Kraus paid particular trio-1
ute to the patience and long suf-' "
feringness of the German people .
during the period of terrific eco
nomic and political stress which
they have endured since the war.
He pointed out a number of facta
to illustrate the "almost incredible
conditions" which the country has '
exnerienced in connection with it ':
currency and unemployment problems.
He attributed to the "series of ;
remarkable leaders which Ger- v
many has had during this period i
of crisis, the credit for preserving , ' ;
among the people the confidence , '. ':
and optimism which they have ex-
mmieu. .
'If Hindenburg had not united, j
balanced, and conciliated the van-1 "
ous factions in Germany, that I r
country today would not stand aa j .'
It does in the eyes of the world, - .
he declared. ''' .
Would Start Anew. i;
But today Hitler's program of 1 '
change is more appealing than the- ' .
conservative program of Bruenig, ; '
he a- terted. Hltlei would start' ;','
anew, he declared; Pruenig would ;
save fr the present situation:
everything that remains to bv ,
saved. .
Dr. Kraus characterised trje'ifro-i
gram of national socialism, as ac-
tually not socialistic. "It ii the an- .
Ithosis of lemocracy, )t is con-!
scioiisly not liberal, anjl intoler
ance is one if Its main articles of
faith " - J
The entire programs, of the na
tional socialists is permeated by
hatred of the Jews." he continued. ' -
True socialism, in the Hitle' move- - c
ment, is so far in the background

BY VIRGINIA POLLARD.
A small sod shack on one of the
largest sheep ranches in Wyoming
was the setting for the beginning
of the life of Elbridge Brubaker,
member of the University Players
who again finds himself in the
familiar atmosphere of the west as
he plays the role of Bud Ashton
In the current comedy, "3 Suns
West," by Herb Yenne, member of
the dramatic faculty.
"The first experience I can re
member," he smiled upon being
interviewed, "is learning to ride
and since then I have taken hon
ors in several rodeos." Now after
twenty-four years, which have
taken him from the plains of Wy
oming to the campus of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, Elbridge is
again swaggering about in true
rowpuncher fashion. But this time
it is on the stage.
The cowboy ballads of the oI4",.,i
frontier find expression in thla
play as well as the dances of the
pioneer period. The play also af-
fords Elbridge an opportunity to V
display his fine voice in one of the
solos. He was for two years ;
member of the Great Cathedral i .-
choir of the Westminister Presby-
terian church. . li
