TUESDAY'S TALK
Speaker Tells Coeds That
They Are Coming Into
A New Day.
DOORS ARE NOW OPEN
Value to Society Depends
On the Selection of a
Vocation.
"You're coming into a new day,"
said Dr. Charles Fordyce, speaking
to the A. W. S. freshman group on
vocations, Tuesday. "Your success
depends upon your ability to meet
VOCATIONS
the standards that are set up.
There will be pretty keen competi
tion not only among yourselves but
among men."
"Doors that were closed are now
open," continued Dr. Fordyce.
"Law, medicine and the like are
offering the same opportunities to
women as to men. The kinds of
work are rapidly changing. Years
ago we had the unskilled types,
now we have the clerical and pro
fessional types. Although the pro
fessions are more desirable, only a
few persons are required for them.
Only 6 percent of the people in this
country are needed in the profes
sions." Dr. Fordyce stated that people
usually enter professions for the
good that they can do many
times they go unpaid. These people
must have intelligence above the
average, and must spend a long
time in preparation. The other oc
cupations have to do with the
wants of people the productive
types. In this class come farming
and manufacturing, for which it
does not take so long to prepare.
Value Depends On Vocation.
"Your value to society depends
almost wholly on the vocation you
select," the speaker said. "Only 10
percent of the people choose their
vocations: the rest just drift into
them. You must be prepared to do
something well or you can't" enter
twentieth century society. Many
persons have talents that they
have never found. They take up
the first work they can get. They
don't study themselves and conse
quently of the 50 millions in voca
tions more than half are dissatis
fied with their work."
' If you want to know how to
find your occupation, consider
these steps, of which the first has
to do with coming to know your
self your ambitions, your inter
ests, your capacities, the second
with becoming familiar with the
occupation, its demands, its ad

Physics Professor Tells of College
Life in Berlin; No Student Politics
John Edwin Almy, professor of
experimental physics in the Uni
versity of Nebraska, who received
his degree in the University of
Berlin, Germany, tells a few Inter
esting facta in regard to the school
there and the manner In which it
is conducted,
"Since I attended the Univer
sity of Berlin from 1897 to 1900
there have no doubt been many
changes," he began. "There were
over ten thousand students regis
tered at that time, both German
and foreign students, of which
about one hundred were Ameri
cans, five hundred French stu
dents, several hundred Russians
and the rest, for the most part,
Germans.
Co-Educational School.
"The university is a co-educational
school, although women
constituted only about 5 percent of
the registration and at that time
the school was supervised by the
national superintendent of educa
tion who had charge of all univer
sities." A year or two after Professor
Almy graduated, the first woman

Edwin Faulkner, president of
the student council, presided over

Faulkner pointed out that the or
ganization of barb clubs meant not
only political unity but that they
were to serve as agencies for the
promotion of non-affiliated stu
dents in campus activities, intra

effect it was shown that if the

to receive a degree at that univer
sity was graduated.
Concerning tho student activi
ties at Berlin university, the pro
fessor had this to say: "The Ger
man students organized into corps,
according to the provinco from
which they came. These corps cor
respond, in a sense, to tho frater
nities that are common here. They
had club rooms in which their so
cial affairs were held. Outside of
these organizations there were no
activities chiefly because the
school was too large to make or
ganization an easy matter."
Attendance Not Required.
Professor Almy mentioned one
fact "that would certainly meet the
approval of the Nebraska stu
dents. Attendance, he says, is not
required, excepting once during
the first two weeks of the semes
ter and once during the last two
weeks of the semester. Examina
tions are not given until just be
fore graduation and they are the
only examinations a student is re
quired to take.

Enforcement.
DINNER PLAN COMPLETE
Asking for better cooperation
from fraternities for observance of
the non-rushing rule for Freshmen
Day next at the beginning of the
fall registration. W. C. Harper, as
sistant dean of student affairs,
spoke briefly before a short meet
ing of the Interfraternity council
Tuesday night.
"Some faculty members of the
Freshmen Day committee," Dean
Harper explained, "have felt there
has not been one hundred percent
observance of the restriction
against rushing on the day the
university has set aside for in
augurating incoming freshmen
into university activities."
In the absence of the president.
Prof. E. F. Schramm, faculty ad
visor to the council, presided at the
Tuesday meeting.
A check of fraternities intending
to close their tables the night of
the Interfraternity banquet next
Tuesdiy showed that a majority of
fraternity house tables would be
closed. v
Chalmers Graham, in general
charge of the banquet and secre
tary of the council, declared finai
plans for the annual interfra
ternity dinner were practically
complete. Very few tickets are
available, he indicated.
Explaining his reason for re
questing closer fraternity coopera
tion in Freshman Day observance,
Dean Harper explained that in
some cases freshmen invited to
lunch had been held longer than
the noon hour. He brought to the
council's attention that the faculty
committee in charge of the day's
events were emphatic In demanding
absolute observance or tne non-
rushing rule up until five o'clock
of that day.

Professor's Talk.
KNOWN AT UNIVERSITY
Tribute Payed by Faculty
Members to Visitor's
Story Telling.
The last all university convoca
tion of the year will be addressed
by an ex-cowboy and ranchman
on the subject, "The Romance of
the Cow Country." Edward Ever
ett Dale, professor of American
history and chairman of the de
partment at the University of Ok
lahoma, will be the speaker. Dr.
Dale is known personally and by
reputation to several members of
the Nebraska faculty.
"Professor Dale is the best yarn
spinner that I have ever heard.
When he speaks on the subject of
the cattle country he is talking
from his own experience and on
his own information. He knows the
cattle country from the inside and
is as near a survival of cowboy
days as we have," was the tribute
paid to Professor Dale by Dean
John D. Hicks, of the history de
partment who has heard the Okla
homa speaker talk on several
occasions.
Dean H. H. Foster of the law
college was associated , with Pro
fessor when he was on the Uni
versity of Oklahoma faculty.
"I have heard Professor Dale
tell tales of cowboys by the hour,
he is one of the most entertaining
speakers that I have ever heard.
He is one of the leading authorities
on the history of the west and of
the cowboy phase of life. He is
very humorous and I am sure that
all who attend the convocation
will not only be entertained but
will also profit by the lecture of
this ex-cowboy," was the state
ment of Dean Foster.
"I think that Professor Dale is
a very interesting and entertaining
speaker and is well' acquainted
with the subject upon which he is
going to talk. He is humorous and
has unusual ability at making up
agreeable and the entertaining
rhymes," was the appraisal that

Such is an example of the verbal

taken of a square danco in recent
years, Yenne was a bit rusty on
his calling job and hence had to
refer to his notebook often. But
while he bellowed forth in musical
notes, Quick sawed out the notes
on his violin. Billy seemed to like
it for he grinned from car to ear
each time the young men swung
the women around a delightful

Of the Earth.
"Truth is a sacred thing and the
young people of today should not
be afraid to face it," said Prof.
E. H. Barbour in his talk at Ves
pers service Tuesday afternoon at
Ellen Smith hall. The subject of
his address waa "The Struggles of
Science" and he reviewed the bat
tle of scientists against unground
ed conviction throughout the ages.
He cautioned young people to
seek the truth and to avoid con
viction that is not founded on
truth. This perverse conviction has
proved itself one of the greatest
stumbling blocks of science, ac
cording to the head of the geology
department. "People are prone to
think a thing is the truth if they
think it hard enough," he said.
"This produces conviction. Truth
and conviction are very different
things, for truth is sacred and con
viction may be neither sacred nor
tnip " He further stated that if
young people are afraid of the
truth then stneir convictions are
pretty wobbly.

GIVE SURVEY TESTS
Cost to University Would
Be Prohibitive Says
Dean Henzlik.
A nation wide survey test that Is
to be given in several colleges in
the United States, under the aus
pices of the American Council on
Education, will not be given in Ne
braska University according to
Dean Henzlik, of Teachers College.
An entirely new experiment to
determine the mental abilities of
students was included in the test,
and the main purpose of the exam
ination was to throw light on the
capacities, needs and problems of
the individual in the college.
According to Dean Henzlik, the
cost to the university would be
prohibitive in the case of Nebras
ka. The examination costs about
ninetv cents per student, and it
waa decided that even were the
test given only to teachers college
sophomores, the department could
not stand sucn a large ouuay. -The
test was to be given on May
3 and 4, and in most cases only
sophomores were allowed to take
the test.
The questions in the test will
have a wide ranee and will test
judgement, memory and reasoning
ability through simple recognition
instead of written answers. The ob
jective is to measure student
achievement in the general cultural
field instead of in the courses the
student has taken. Outside read
ings, in books, periodicals and
Kiagazines and observations de
rived from pt-rsonal thinking will
be emphasized.

NIGHT IN TEMPLE
American Citizen and The

Cf Blayney Talk.
FAVORS PREPAREDNESS
Reviews Changes in Ideals,
Theories of American
Policies.
By RUTH SCHILL.
"Although I am not a militarist
I believe in reasonable prepared
ness because I love the things
America stands for and I do not
want these things to perish from
the earth." said Dean Lindsey
Blayney, dean of Carleton college,
in his address at the Temple
theater Tuesday evening. The Min
nesota educator, who came tc
Lincoln at the request of the mili
tary oepartment, had as his sub
ject "The American Citizen anc
the Changing World."
In discussing the military pre
paredness of this country hi
showed that only 7 percent of out
national budget Is actually spent
for preparedness. Other expendi
tures attributed to the war de
partment are spent for signal serv
ice, army physicians and othei
things that are as much a part ol
peace as of war. In computing the
actual number of men we sustain
for our national protection he
brought out that it was only one
man per each 1,000 citizens, which
is less than half the number of
men we employ on our police
forces as an internal protection.
Cannot Withdraw.
Dean Blayney reviewed the
change In the ideals and theories
of American policies today and o?
a few years ago. "A third of a cen
tury ago we went to bed feeling
secure in our policy of exclusion
but we were awakened by the
guns in Manila Bay." he said.
"Since that time America has been
involved in international affairs.
Any nation that is pulled or puts
herself in the vortex of interna
tional affairs cannot withdraw.
Our colonial possessions and our
enormous foreign investments
have forever placed us in a posi
tion where we have lhternational
responsibilities. No truly great na
tion can remain behind its narrow
frontiers."
In a-defense against the Euro
pean conception of America as a
grasping, heartless country with
out ideals, Dean Blayney pointed
out the evidences which show the
