GROUP VARIES IN SIZE

Be Honored.

ner at the University club Monday

tic fraternity will consider possible
changes in the method of selecting
members. The newly elected mem
bers will be announced at a uni
versity convocation in the Temple

Contrary to the common concep
tion scholarship is not the only
consideration for membership in
the organization, according to
Prof. C. M. Hicks, secretary of the
Nebraska Alpha chapter. Good
moral character is an added quali
fication. The Nebraska chapter permits
the selection of a student In any
college who has fulfilled the group

ifications. This custom Is unique
to the Nebraska chapter.

Before coming to the University
of Nebraska Dr. Williams was in
structor in the art department of
the University of Wisconsin. Ex
amples of his work in ceramics,
and some of his paintings have
been shown in several western ex
hibitions. Much of the data concerning
early civilizations has been de
rived solely from ceramics of
these periods, according to Dr.
Williams. He says: "Many people
do not realize how much of the
history of the world has been re
constructed for us by archeologists
and anthropologists who, in some
cases, have had little more than
odd bits of pottery here and there
from which to learn about the peo
ple who made them. In our own
university, the department of an
thropology is conducting investi
gations to find out about the prim
itive tribes who lived in Nebraska
centuries ago. The remains of the
pottery which they made, help
greatly to throw light on the kind
of culture they had."

FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED
IN SELECTING A VOCATION
First Prize Ensay in the Chancellor's Contest
By ORVILLE L. PIERSON
"You couldn't get me to enter
that vocation. Don't you know
there is no money in it?"
' Such statements have reached
their present popularity within the
past few decades. Formerly a per
son selected a vocation because the
work held some attraction for him
or, more likely, because it had
been the occupation of his ances
tors. The advance of industrialism
effected several changes. A larger
number of fields were open to a
person selecting a vocation. More
important, factory made goods ap
peared on the market. Custom
soon labeled some of these as
necessities. They became essential
for the happiness of a person but
could not be obtained without
money. So the money a person
might earn came to be the primary
measure of his happiness and the
major factor to be considered in
the selection of a vocation.
It is unfortunate that money and
happiness have come to be syn
onymous in this respect. Their in
terchangeability ha placed thd
primary emphasis upon the wage:!
paid in a vocation. People have
come to select a particular voca
tion as their occupation almost
solely because it has the reputation
to them of paying high wages. And
if anyone ventures to suggest such
a basis of selection is wrong, he is
met with the rejoinder, 'Money
talks.'
Select Beit Paid Work,

solved, provided he can secure a
latisfactory position in that field.
If not, he may turn to the next
best vocation without seriously
damaging his happiness.
To the thoughtful person, how
ever, the selection of a life work is
not such a simple procedure. He
knows it is one requiring the
proper balancing and co-ordination
of a number of factors before the
correct vocation may be deter
minded. He has as his ideal voca
tion that one in which he can ac
complish the greatest permanent
good for the largest number of
people. Such a criterion realizes
that the zenith of life's happiness
is not to be attained solely thru
material possession but only by the
full development of one's apti
tudes thru the rendition of sub
stantial services to others. It is
interesting to follow the develop
ment of such reasoning as applied
to the selection of a vocation.
The first step would be the se
lection of a field in which the per
son has some special ability. Such
a selection is essential if he is to
find any pleasure in the work. It
cannot reasonably be expected that
the momentary pleasure of a week
ly pay check can offset the dis
tasteful features of a dally task
in which the person has no Inter
est. It is well established that a
person cannot long find a work in
teresting if he has no capacity for
that work. So it is that inherent
ability must be taken as a primary
guide, even if only to insure hap
piness of the individual while at
work.

desirable from a purely social view
point. It has been pointed out that
happiness will be found only in
such a vocation. A happy person is
not only a valuable asset to society
but he also tends to be a very ef
ficient one. These conditions make
It Imperative that the vocation se
lected be within the range of one's
abilities if he is to make his max
imum contribution to society.
Complications usually arise when
it is discovered that a person Is na
turally fitted for several vocations.
It then becomes necessary to de
cide which of these vocations af
fords the greatest opportunity for
the rendition of real and perman
ent service to mankind. Such a de
cision is not readily made and will,
of course, veary with the opinion
of the individual. The dfflculty of
deciding correctly becomes more
apparent when it is remembered
that those fields dealing with
amusements and luxuries are not
excluded.
It is often possible to make a
real and permanent contribution to
society thru work in one of these
callings. A certain amount of rec
creation and luxury have become
necessary, for the most effective
functioning of human beings. So
it ia that work in this field, while
apparently concerned with transi
ent things, may be nf great assis
tance in enabling others to render
services that are directly valuable.
Should Consider Service.
The problem is perhaps some
what simplified if an attempt is
made to choose the vocation in
which service may be rendered to
the greatest number of people.

"Educational movies are of the

"Talking sequence! to pictures

Wtar Boards Request That
Poems Be Submitted
Before April 23.
IDENTITY KEPT SECRET
Poems for the Ivy Day poetry
contest sponsored annually by
Mortar Board, . senior women's

the winner reads the poem on the

Every student In the university
is eligible to submit a poem in the
contest. No requirement as to the
length or subject is set, but it Is

finally chosen will have a theme
suitable for Ivy day. The Ivy day

Dr. I B. Walker Asked
To Exhibit at Cornell
Dr. L. B. Walker, department of
botany, has been asked to make
exhibits on her research in Endo

national Congress of Genetics
which convenes In August at Cor
nell university.
Hon Includes minute details that
even an adult fails to notice," she
said.
If the old adage "seeing is be
lieving" has any virtue, education
al movies are very influential. An
old Chinese proverb entertains the
idea that one still picture equals
12,000 words in printed matter and
if this is true moving pictures are
worthy of high appraisal.
Miss Shanafelt says that not
only are movies significant to
children but they are instructive in
study for adults. Distant places of
interest that an individual would
not otherwise see are presented to
him through this medium, in addi
tion to clarifying indefinite ob
jects. Movies have aided in the prog
ress of education, according to
Miss Shanafelt, and are not lack
ing in our institutions of learning.
She believes that movies should
play a more Important part in
every phase of study but should
not be depended upon or used en
tirely. "This means srould supple
ment the regular reading work."
"Despite the constant criticism
suid numerous indictments, the
moving plctura industry has its at
tributes and these should be con
sidered in its importance to the
American people.
