Announcement of I lie spring flections to le lielil Tuesday, May 30." one week from tculiiy, is of greater interest this year than it lias Wen in the past two. Factions are viewing with interest and a deal of alarm the organization which the Barbs arc attempting to perfect which the Barbs hopp will give them some po litical strength. If the Barbs succeed to any degree at all. the factions have cause to be alarmed for the potential strength which this organization possesses is astounding and almost unlimited. The question is whether or not they will be able to tap the reservoir of that strength. The group headed by "VYillard Young is mak ing progress but it is small and its organiza tion plans necessarily are loose because of the disorganization of Ihe unaffiliated student group. It cannot effectively go out and get votes as can the other two factions. The lack of positive organization will hinder the Barb croups. The whole thing depends upon the Barbs themselves. Here they have a chance to display their interest in the school and its activities. In the next election they will get .their opportunity to demonstrate just bow much interest they really do have in the insti tution. The election will be centered about the pub lication board and ihe Student council. In order to make those bodies really representa tive, there should be members of the unaffili ated group seated on both. The organized groups cannot be expected to stretch altruism to the breaking point. The Barbs will have to get out to the polls and do it themselves. It is a direct challenge to the Barbs. If they have an interest, even the slightest, their op portunity to display it is at hand. Barbs and other students interested in the school as a whole have east aside political aspirations and are working for the good of the whole student body. .Student government depends for suc cess upon representation. The proportional system was worked out in accordance wiih that belief. Kvery faction filing a slate is permitted representation on llie Student coun cil if they net enough votes, as a party. In a few days the senior hnnornrii-s will eleet Iheir successors for the coming year. They will be criticized for the lack of Barb students in the organizations. It is not the fault of the societies, however. The fault lies with the students themselves. Becognition of any kind, worthwhile recognition comes only ai'tAr hard work. Barbs must consent to or ganization and hard work if they would attain campus recognition as a group and as individ uals. Their opportunity is al hand. It will be interesting to note whether or not the Barb ticket will be influenced in any way by Ihc new organization. A concent rated drive for votes and a large turnout at the polls will assure the Barbs of a part in Ihe student life of the university which they have never had before. The Barbs are facing a challenge. They have a great opportunity. Will they sieze it? of this boistrous nature which may have value simply as providing recreation and amusement. But the difficulty with most of them Is that they nearly always degenerate and become not only non-constructive but actually destructive. The term "nchool spirit" because it has so often been associated with mjob displays of student enthusiasm which have resulted in breaking up classes and destroying property has come to have an odious connotation to many people, particularly outsiders. There is, however, a type of school spirit which may much more effectively hold the students of a school together and enable them to work to gether on projects whose end is the benefit of th" entire school. This tpye of school spirit is what Nebraska and other schools in this part of the country are lacking, apparently. Some of them have it much more than does" Nebraska. The, beau tiful student union buildings which most campuses have and which. provide a place tot students to develop those acquaintances .and associations which mean a great deal to stu dent life and help to further a real university spirit, are evidences of the existence of that spirit at many places. Nebraska's need is for some such place. The possibility of getting a union building looks remote at present, but its remoteness is due more, to the disorganization of unified student interest in the university than to unfavorable economic circumstances. Once there is built up on the campus here a feeling among nil students that they are a part of the institution and all of its activities, there would be little difficulty in organizing a plan for securing a student union building. That such a feeling does not now exist is evident. That is why it is so important that the unaffiliated students on this campus, who constitute the largest group of students, but who have been the most disorganized and un interested in student activities and the things that help make university life worth while, must arouse themselves from their lethargy and assert themselves as a part of the institu tion. That one movement alone would do more to establish a "school spirit" here than several hundred hobo days, rallies, and shirt tail parades put together with a few thousand stirring addresses by prominent alumni and faculty members thrown in. THE MORNING MAIL Satisfied. TO THE EDITOH: Because of the comment resulting from my letter which appeared in the Wednesday Ne braskan, 1 feel it is my place to make a brief explanation. It was not so much my intention in that letter to question the sincerity of the Inno cents and the Student council in nttempting to organize the barb students, as to draw atten tion to the fact that the present Barb council was not consulted or even informed about the movement. True, the Barb council has in the past done little or nothing toward forming a working organization or political faction among the barbs, but nevertheless the frater nity groups might have at least invited them to participate in the new movement. Although 1 will admit that when I wrote my previous letter I did not wonder just what was the final motive behind the bucking of the present movement by fraternity men, I have since become satisfied that their action was for the best interests of the barbs. The results of the Tuesday evening meeting and the answer to my letter in The Nebraskan have convinced me of this. I certainly did not intend any inference of jealousy of the new organization in my letter. It has been sufficiently demonstrated to me that both this group and the present Barb council have distinct places on the campus, and that both can work effectively without either interfering with the other. It is my sincere hope that all barb students will become sufficiently aroused by the recent campus events to get behind the new organi zation and give it as well as the Barb council their full and unrestrained support. 1 NTEltESTED STUDENT. HAYSEED - - and - -HAYWIRE o By CEORCE ROUND Probably no one ii more inter ested in the inter-sorority riding contest to be held during Farmers Fair than Richard Faulkner of Lincoln. When approached by Manager Meredith about the pos sibility of the contest, he offered to gtre a cup and spoke enthusi astically about the plan. Now it is up to Nebraska co-eds to enter the contest to make it successful. Getting in touch with either Fred Meredith at the Farm House or Reuben Hecht at the Alpha Gamma Rho house will turn the trick. Friendly Feeling. I A distinctly progressive step which may open Ihe way to closer relations between Bigj Six schools was 1aken when representatives of student governing bodies of four of the schools conferred on student problems here Saturday. The conference closed with plans for a loose organization and regular future meetings. Wisely no officers et cetera were elected in order that no formal and involved organization nip in ihe hud a good thing, as very often is the ease. Prof. E. W. l.antz, faculty adviser to the Nebraska council, was given the respon sibility for arranging the next conference, which will presumably be held at one of the other schools. Since ihe delegates were the men who will head Iheir respective student councils for next year, the next conference will not be held until 19M. Meetings will be held regularly early in the school term each year thereafter. The value of periodic get-togethers of stu dent government leaders in the schools of this part of the country for purposes of discussion on student questions is obvious. That the con ferences would represent the schools having problems similar to our own and are small enough u..' detailed open discussion is a dis tinct advantage over such larger conventions as that of the N. S. I'. A. to which Nebraska sent delegates last winter. The Saturday conference was eminently suc cessful in threshing out queslions taken up and giving the dclegales from the various schools valuable information on other schools to carry back. But Saturday's conference was only n beginning. A perpetuation of the plan is truly commendable and will undoubtedly lie productive of great benefits to the schools of the Big Six. Big Six Spirit. For several years Nebraska students have been bewailing the loss of what is rather loosely termed "school spirit." A number of factors have been blamed for the loss of this quality. It was interesting 1o note at the recent con ference of representatives from schools in this section of the country that the situation at Nebraska is not unique. Several of 1he dele gates 1o the conference, in talking informally, -were wondering how they could inspire this -spirit among 1 he student bodies Mf their "schools. Jt was qitile universally agreed thai any artificial stimuli were quite ineffective. One of the delegales. however, had plans for trying to arouse 1 h is spirit, which we may, wilhout disparaging his motives, erilieize on the basis of artificiality. He seemed 1o be quile hope ful 1hat school spirit could be aroused by put ting in the program of student activities such affairs as "hobo day." "shirt tail parades" and olher things of thai nature. While we are w illing to admit lliat such af fairs are likely to arouse interest and a cer tain amount of enthusiasm, we are not willing to admit that this enthusiasm is either "school spirit" or that it is valuable or constructive in any May. It is a concession to the immature student who still takes pleasure in making himself conspicuous in outlandish ways. It is distinctly "high wehoolish" and what makes it objectioneble is that it is not constructive. We believe that the tendency of students to day to be less easily excited into mob displays and foolish antics is one which should be en couraged and praised. There are some affairs What A Week. With the opening of registration for the fall lerni by resident students Monday, what is perhaps the busiest week of the college year opened 1o a buzz of activity. No one regis tered, of course, but registration started any way. Tuesday will find male Greeks assembled in confusion at the annual lnlerfraternity ban quet, where the rewards of labor in the study hall will find fruition and the east iron schol arship plaques will be redistributed, to hang proudly in view during rush week and be ne gleded the rest of the time. Wednesday a bevy of the serious minded, of whom there are all loo few, will be officially recognized at the animal Honors convocation. At this lime the appropriate combination of Corn Cobs ushering at the Honors convocation may be seen. Thursday, of course, Iraditinii has its in nings, and in ihe evening alumni and sludenls will be entertained at Ihe first Ivy day parly. During the day students of the university will slay pretty much assembled on inadequate bleachers and stainful grass in the two by four space south of Ihe administration building. And the May (Jueen will beam, and the senior honor societies will cause their annual tension. Friday will find schools and colleges cele brating their allegiance in college day acti vities. There will be picnics, speeches, sun burn, and so on. In the evening the male pep sters will get exclusive and hold their annual dinner dance. And Saturday noon, Ihe week's hectic acti vities will be climaxed by the close of regis tration. The Farmers, too, will make merry all day Saturday wilh their annual Fair, with milking contests, riding events, and ;o on. During Ihe week, too, engineers bold open house and display the miracles of modern mechanistic science. And the multitude will flock and stare open mouthed at electric flashes and chemical colorings. Yes, it's a big week. The cuinpus blooms forth and confounds the critical gentlemen who say the university is traditionless. Alumni, it is hoped, will return in large num bers to the scene of their youthful activities, and maybe they will like the old place as much as everyone else does, beneath all the vender of bored cynicism. Break down, if you must, but admit it's not so bad. Al Ebers of Seward is probably one of the biggest fair boosters on the college of agriculture campus. Being a member of the junior fair board, he is actively interested in the pagecnt production and is de voting a great deal of time toward that end. Nevertheless, Ruthalce Hclloway also deserves much credit for directing the pageant. Maybe you don't believe it but Delphin Nash says he saw 1.000 mules in a recent circus parade in Omaha, rcrhaps they were white mules. . . . They say that Ruth Schill reads this "hoey. A wrestling match between "Tarzan" Frah-n and Perry Meredith for Farmers Fair would be a great drawing card. Frahm admits he can whip Meredith. . . . Did you see in a Lincoln paper last week where Miss Delphine Nash was a member of a committee in charge of an Ag dance ? . . . Ralph Copen haver is another reader. . . . These vocational agriculture instructors iu local high schools seem to be suffering salary cuts. . . . The Ag gies opposed Gus Miller's Univer sity of Reformatory baseball nine Saturday on the latter's campus. Now that the senate has passed the grasshopper relief bill, it may be thnt northeastern Nebraska will get some federal aid this year. If the thing comes in reality. Profes sor Swenk is prepared to issue a plan whereby the drouth stricken counties will' be completely organ ized to fight the hoppers this year. Aggie students are wondering who will be the first student to get a "dousing" in the horse tank this yetr. With the fair but one week away, the tank is being overhauled and will be placed in a prominent place on the campus early for scholars who do not desire to do their bit toward making the fair a success. Despite the fact that farm prices have been down for sometime, a central Nebraska boy netted over $200 profit on a thirty-six acre plot of sweet corn during the past year, his final record shows. He con tracted his corn with a local seed house and he grossed over $700 for the project. This time it may be a war be tween Law college and the College of Agriculture. Regardless the two institutions are scheduled to lock horns in a ball game to be played at Farmers Fair next Sat urday. Coach Knight has a strong Aggie nine this year and it re mains to be seen whether or not the lawyers will oppose the farm ers with the same vigor as they have the engineers on past occa sions. Or should we say with the same vigor that the engineers have opposed the lawyers. Remember the raid on the law fraternity house several years ago? These boys La vera Gingr'ch and Harold Cortes complain about wrong spelling of thuir names. Beg pardon . . . Stanton Sorensen won ders why 1 write this stuff. I won der myself. . .George Dunn says he has something on Virginia Pollard about her recent "internship" at Albion.

The Nebraska College of Agri culture distributed nearly one mil lion forest seedlings and trans plants to farmers over the state this year. Extension Forester Wat kins announces. Chinese elm proved to be the most popular. A total of 225,600 of this variety were distributed by the extension service. The trees were distrib uted at a cost of one cent each to farmers. This covered the cost of handling and wrapping. It would take an Einstein the Don't Read Thu if you never eat! When you want service and quality try the OwL We never fail you.

NEW CARRIE B. RAYMOND DORMITORY WILL PRO VIDE WOMEN FINE QUARTERS BECAUSE OF YEARS SPENT IN PLAN NING (Continued from Page 1.) ing whereby they would buy dor mitory bonds. They conferred with architects and had the first set of plans drawn up. This idea was dropped at a time when university authorities were stressing the need for additional classroom buildings and for more adequate salaries for the faculty. Women Graduates Push Plan. The Lincoln branch of the American Association of Univer sity Women has had a standing committee on dormitories for sev eral years. This committee, with a changing personnel, has studied the local problem and advised such a building. The women of the Faculty club, an organization of higher ranking women teachers in the university, has also had a com mittee studying this matter. This committee, comprised of Miss Mabel Lee, professor of physical education, president of the club; Miss Laura Pfeiffer, associate pro fessor of European history, secre tary; Miss Margaret Fedde, pro fessor of home economics; Mrs. Hattie Plum Williams, professor of sociology; and Dean Heppner as chairman, studied the problem for some time and reported in favor of women's dormitories. "We believe that the dormitory system with its opportunities for finer living and nobler think'- ; will play an integral part in p ducing a superior t3"pe of citizen who will reflect credit upon the university and make a worthwhile contribution to the community and society at large, read a portion of their report. Dean Heppner Studies Plans. Dean Heppner, an active worker for the dormitories, has visited many of the modern dormitory plants in other universities, in cluding Michigan, Cornell, Iowa State, University of Iowa, North western, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Co lumbia, Kansas and Grinnell. From these inspections she has been able to critically study pro posed plans for Nebraska dormi tories and make many suggestions of great value. Other administrative officers of the university with the architects have made several inspection trips to other universities to study types of construction, methods of ad ministration, operation, and fi nance, incorporating their findings in the Nebraska arrangement. "We are not trying to build pal aces for the girls, but provide them comfortable living quarters in good taste. Many of our girls will marry and live in modest homes in the state. We should not give them cause to be dissatisfied with their future home life be cause of extravagant dormitories" recently commented Dean Heppner. Incorporates Best Features. Among the best features found by Dean Heppner in other schools that have been incorporated in the Nebraska dormitory plans are the lavatory in each room, single beds, the requisite number of showers, closet arrangements, room size, and number of residents in tie building. Dean Heppner has also secured many pointers at the an nual meetings of the National As sociation of Deans of Women. At these annual meetings papers are presented dealing with the dormi tory situation, dormitory needs, dormitory standards, etc. Archi tects for the Nebraska dormitory have followed as far as possible these standards as determined by actual experience. Women have also played a con siderable part in planning other features of the Nebraska dormi tory system.

Hon rooms, party rooms, check rooms all have come In for their attention at the hands of the in terested women. The facilities and equipment for indoor athletics have been planned by the women's physical education department of the university. Dining Quarters Superior. The dining quarters have also been given long and serious con sideration by women. Miss Fedde, chairman of the department of home economics, assisted first by Miss Bernice Elwell and later by Miss Martha A. Park of the same department, has taken over the re sponsibility for the dining room equipment. They feel that a supe rior arrangement has been ef fected by having the kitchen and dining room on the first floor in stead of in the basement as is the case in many dormitories. University authorities explained today that the initial cost of the first dormitory unit is somewhat higher than will be the additional units because this central unit will provide administrative quarters, kitchens, dining rooms, and recre ation rooms for the entire dormi tory system. The additional units or wings will be devoted almost entirely to student rooms. With the new dormitories ready for use by the fall of 1932, Uni versity authorities feel that for the first time all university women will be able to enjoy happy and congenial surroundings that are reasonably priced, attractively furnished, adequately equipped, and well governed, a combination desired by all parents. PHI MU EPSILON TO MEET Dr. Basoco Scheduled to Speak to Fraternity on 'Relativity.' DATA FOR PH. D. THESIS Working in Ecuador Jungles Proved Fatal to Young Chicago Man. CHICAGO, 111. Hunting for data for a Ph. D. thesis in the steaming Jungles of Ecuador proved fatal to Thomus Walsh, jr., it was disclosed Saturday when a letter telling of Walsh's death was received by Walsh s parents here. The letter written from Monzon, Peru, by Harold Foard, West Vir ginia, brought news of the death of Thomas Walsh, jr., twenty-five, to Walsh's parents here. The story Foard told was a nightmare of struggle against tropical fever. Impenetrable jungle forests, scanty food supply and ter rific heat. Walsh died in the arms of his friend after fiehting vainly to con tinue despite fever and starvation, A brief note scrawled before his death Jan. 29 pictured graphically the half-delirious last moments of the young explorer. He wrote: "Mother: I am making Foard go on for aid . . . Can't move . . . Cod save us . . . Please help Foard marry Clarissa (a girl in Lima, Peru) ... He is your son now . . , Dad I am dead save mother." Walsh a graduate of the Uni versity of Illinois with a master of science degree, had been stationed at Oroya, Peru, for two years as a chemist for the Cerro de Pasco Copper corporation. To obtain data for use in securing a Ph. D. degree he and Foard set out last Novem- y ber from Huanuco, Peru. Their destination was the wild and almost inaccessible headquar ters of the Taute river in southern Eucador where in a territory in habited only by a few fierce Indian tribes they hoped to find new de posits of valuable ores MEDICAL COLLEGE TO.
